The Way President Diaz Deals
With Trusts.

The laboring people of Mexico live
chiefly on corn and beans. A trust
got a corner on the corn and raised
the price nearly 400 per cent, although
there was no scarcity of the article.
The people then began using beans,
but demand for them advanced the
price beyond the means of the poor to
buy. President Diaz was authorized
to revoke the tariff upon any article
controlled by trust, and by procla-
nation Immediately did so, admitting
corn, wheat, and beans into Mexico
free of duty. He convened the Mexi-
can congress which authorized him to
purchase these articles at the cost of
the government and to sell to thepeo-
pie at or below cost. President Diaz
purchased several consignments which
compelled the trusts to reduce it's
price to what it should have been.
The difference between the course
of the President of Mexico and Of the
United States in dealing with the
trusts is easily accounted for. In
Mexico the president is chosen by the
people; in the United States the office
is chosen by the trusts, through the
use of its millions unjustly wrung
from the people.
