s,or Joseph l.. Eawlins spoke here
v tonight AZ the school house TO an
..,,,siastic crowd OF worklngmen, VINO
ave him such attention as few public
'..stars ever received. His opening
-..,srks were In the nature OF an Gu
low Of the state. senatorial and county
,,.t.t in which he referred in most
s,r,rrImentary terms TO the career Of
william H. King in congress. Major
piebard W. Young. as a jurist, a sol
5iar and a citizen. and citing the quail
Scstione of both % the Offices 20 which
tbev aspirr. not forgetting % mention
tbs abfe work Of state Senator Hardin
y5a,rion for this district and for Car
k1p county In particular in the matter
cr concentrations for roads and bridges
and numerous other measures OF inn
p6rtance 10 this people. Then, In Ian
suaea such as only the senator has az
command he paid most beautiful
,-fbuta 20 American citizenship and the
osoiratlons and ambitions OF the work
ipgmen who have contributed TO make
such citizenship.
The Trust Question
Coming down % the question Of
trusts. which he considered the most
important one before the people today.
he showed how competition In all man
ufacured articles had been destroyed,
and sxorbitant prices fXed for prod
nets. The hours and wages OF the
tollers Of the land were also fixed and
the workIngmen put where they had
nothing 10 say or do with their own
affairs. As long as the men at the
head OF these gigantic robbers OF the
people had the power given them under
Republican rule they would abuse IL.
they always had and always viii. When
the Republican party says the trusts
are a good thing they fly in the face
or an history. The American people
cannot afford to and VIII not endorse II.
They are a menace 10 free institutions.
Then he reviewed the conditions in
Pennsylvania among the 1S7 900 coal
strikers and pointed this out as one OF
the results OF present class legislation.
-Four hundred years ago Spain fixed
prices on labor and from that day Spain
continued 10 fall until IL has become
one OF inc Must utEdIutu VI uuliulla.
No man he said. ought to be at the
mercy OF such great aggregatiOns or
combined capital as the steel trust. a
monopoly that sooner or later must be-
checked. Free men and free women
were more than the sordid dollar. There
might be a good king. but there was
opt sometime 90 be a stock Gambler
q, the head and the latter would bring
!uln In a ruthless manner.
Robber Tariff.
The way to do away with such rob
berry was 20 take OF the protective tariff
Of rs % 100 per cent Goods OF the
trust are sold IN foreign countries at
% 70 50 per cent cheaper than al home.
BY removing the tariff trust made
goods would be sold at home as cheaply
as abroad, by reason OF competition
from abroad. This the Republicans OF
Ohio and Wisconsin have put incs their
platforms and IL is the Democratic
idea
II protection Is 10 be given let It be
on such as beet sugar factories and re-
lining plants for ores at home, giving
protection by government aid to the
smaller Instead OF the larger ones. The
original infant industries had Outgrown
themselves and were no longer in need
Of aid.
