Under the Sherman anti-trust law,
there are two methods Of proceeding
against trusts. The first method is in
a criminal court where the guilt, or
innocence is decided by a jury; the
second is by injunction where the mat
ter is decided by United States
Judge. A corporation always prefers
trial by a Judge rather than by
jury, SO attorney Gen. Knox proceed
ed by injunction against the beef
trust. There is little use of making
more laws against trusts as the presi-
dent suggests, if the criminals are to
be thus favored when being brought
to trial,

Tom johnson hits Monopoly

Sandusky, o., Sept. 3.-At the state
convention Sept. 3, Mayor Tom john
son of Cleveland sounded the keynote
of the state campaign for the demo-
cratic party and, incidentally, launch
ed his candidacy for presidential NOM
ination in 1904.
Mayor johnson says he admires
Bryan because the Nebraskan led the
first great revolt against monopoly.
Mr.. johnson made the following
statement:
s'The Republicans have much to
say about trusts. They advise public
ity, publicity that might protect In
vestors against frand; but how could
it protect the public against monopo-
~, which is the basis Of trusts? Men
whose incomes have increased but lit
tie or not at all, but whose living ex-
penses have increased enormously
why should they care for publicity?
What is needed is not examination OF
the books of trusts, but a sweeping OF
monopoly from the statute books of
the people.
1.-THE money question is also nation
al. 1t is no dead issue. Dead though
it may be in one form, it is alive in
another. So long as Wall street in
terests dictate our financial policies,
the money question cannot die. 1t
was not free silver that frightened the
plutrocratic leaders. What they
feared was free men.
"We have in national politics vital
questions of self-government. Shall
we govern distant colonies from
Washington, as provinces were gov,
erned by Rome before her fall? That
question also is at bottom monopoly
question. There would be no subject
colonies if colonies could give no mo-
nopoly franchises.
The function of revising national
platforms belongs with conventions
chosen for national purposes. Oul
functions, so far as natio nal questions
are concerned, begins and ends witt
an unmistakable Identification of our
selves with the Democratic party OF
the republic. That can be done, In
good faith, only by acknowledging the
authority of the latest national expires
sion Of the party on national ques-
tions. We ought also to pay tribute
OF respect to the great Democrat who
has in two national campaigns bril-
liantly led US against the Republican
party and its allied hosts of non-parti.
san monopolists.

The Presidents Anti. Trust
Speeches are Inspiring.

The republican President is declar-
ing on the stump that the trusts are
productive of evil and must be con-
trolled in the public interest.
The republican party for six years
has had full power to curb the trusts,
but has done nothing.
While President Roosevelt advo-
Gates government control of the giant
combinations, one Of them the coal
trust, is harassing industry and pill
aging all classes in the community by
keeping the mines closed and doub-
ling the price of coal.
The president could proceed against
the coal trust by ordering his attor-
ney general to prosecute its members
under the Sherman law.
And Mr.. Roosevelt's attorney gen.
eral chooses this time to make a trip
to Europe!
The republican conventions of Iowa
and Idaho, giving voice to the senti-
ment of large and growing elemen1
of the rank and file of the PRESIDENTS
party, have demanded, to the distress
and alarm of the leaders, that the tar
if shall be so revised as to deprive
monopolies OF its shelter-so revised,
this means, that trusts which sell
their wares cheaper abroad than they
do at home shall be subjected to for
eign competition.
But Mr.. Roosevelt, who knows, of
course, that the tariff is the chief bu.-
wark of the trusts, has not a word to
say about the tariff.
| Nevertheless the president is doing
a good work. He recognizes the ex.
istence of the trust evil and admits
the Justice of the democratic com.
plant against the unbridled freedom
enjoyed by these combinations tt
plumber the people.
That is great republican advance
upon Mr.. Hanna's position during the
presidential campaign of 1900: "Thert
are no trusts" And upon Mr.. Han
mas announcement made only a few
weeks ago that ''the only monopolie'
. we have in this country are those pro
: tected by patents.
1t would by gratifying to hear from
3 Mr.. Roosevelt on the tariff and on tn
coal trust.
n Yet no relief from trust monopol
and trust robbery can be looked 70
from the presidents party, which
while he is making his popula
: speeches, is campaigning to secur
t again do-nothing majority in tn
I, house of representatives.
/ The reason why no relief can be ea
pected from the presidents party

with equal candor that ''it is impos'

ted States to control the meat trace
of Europe because of the large Ship
ments of cattle from Argentina and

And yet Secretary Shaw blandly ar
