general harm or good proceeding from
such changes.
No tariff change would help one
OF our smaller corporations, or one of
our private individuals in business;
still less one Of our wage workers, as
against the large corporation in the
same business; on the contrary, If 1t
bore heavily on the large corporation,
1t would inevitably be felt still more
by that corporations weaker rivals,
while any injurious result would Of

the relative difference between the
trusts and their rivals would remain
as marked as ever. In other words.
the trust, or big corporation, would
have suffered relatively to and in

of regulating trusts with a view 10

from the question Of tariff revision"
Leaving this branch of the subject,
the president said;
The only method of eliminating
the real evil OF the trusts must come
through wisely and cautiously framed
legislation which shall aim in the first

sovereign over great corporations, and

Dubuque, Sept. 1.-THE announce
ment that Speaker Henderson had
withdrawn from the congressional
race in this district came upon the
people of this city something like a
Mont Pelee eruption. At first it was
treated incredulously and regarded as
a fake. but Just before the Evening
Globe-Journal went to press the fol
lowing announcement was brought to
that paper by the speakers secretary,
Lee McNeele:
"Mr. Speaker Henderson. finding
that his views In respect to the treat
ment of trusts by reducing the tariff
in whole or in part are not in accord.

One day at a rehearsal, w. S. Gil.

looked very sympathetic, and said:

control than now exists over great
corporations. Wherever a substantial
monopoly can be shown to exist we
should certainly try our utmost to de-
wise an expedient by which it can b5
controlled"
The president counselled modera-
ton instead of rancor in dealing with
the trust evils. They must be dealt
with legally. The biggest corpora
ton, like the humblest private citi.
zen, must be held to strict comp.i-
ance with the will of the people as
expressed in the fundamental law.
Discussing the methods Of curing the
trust evil, the president considered
the proposition to do 1t by reducing
the tariff! He said
IF in any case the tariff is found
to foster a monopoly which does Ill,
why, of course, no protectionist would
object to modification of the tariff
sufficient to remedy the evil.
But in very few cases does the So
called trust really monopolize the
market. Take any big corporation
which controls, say something over
half the product Of given industry.
Surely in rearranging the schedules
affecting such a big corporation II
would be necessary to consider the
interests Of its smaller competitors,
which control the remaining part AMI
which being weaker would suffer most
from any tariff designed to punish all
producers; for of course the tariff
must be made light or heavy for big
and little producers alike. Moreover,
such a corporation necessarily en-
ploys very many thousands of work
men, and the minute we proceeded
from denunciation to action 1t would
be necessary to consider the interests
of these workmen. Furthermore, the
products Of many trusts are unpro.
tected, and would be entirely unaf-
fected by any change in the tariff,
or at most very slightly So"
Continuing, the president declared
that the real evils connected with
trusts can not be remedied by any
changes in tariff laws.
Trusts" said the president, can
be damaged by depriying them of the
benefits of the protective tariff, only
on condition of damaging all their
smaller competitors. and all wage
workers employed in this industry,
My point is that changes in the tariff
would have little appreciable effect

At Music hall last night the presi.

After thanking the mayor and other

ton of trusts.
Defining trusts the president held
that all great corporations doing bust.
ness in several states are not trusts.
and that the combination of capital
and centralizing is necessary under
the methods and extent of business
today. Whether we like it or not, we
must conform to the conditions thus
made necessary. He said the new
conditions have produced both good
and evil. The evil must be controlled,
but in such a way as not to nullify the
good. We must proceed by evolution,
not revolution.
THE evils attendant upon over-cap-
itallzation alone said the president,
ARE in my judgment sufficient to
warrant far closer supervision and
