RESIDENTS FIRM STAND.

If there are people in the United
States who are not acquainted with
the position of President Roosevelt on
the questions of the trusts, they GER
tainly should settle 1t in their minds
after reading the following utterances,
that he is all right:
The mechanism of modern business
is as delicate and complicated as it
| is vast. and nothing would be more
productive of evil to all of us. and es-
pecially to those least we'll off in this
worlds goods, than ignorant meddling
with this mechanism, and above all.
if the meddling was done in spirit
of class or sectional rancor.
I am far from being against property
when ask that the question of trusts
be taken up. / am acting in the most
conservative sense in property's inter
est. When great corporation is sued
for violating the antitrust law 1t is
not move against property; 1t is a
move in favor of property, because
when you can make 1t evident that all
men, big and small alike. have to
obey the law you are putting the safe
guard Of law around all men.
When you make it evident that no
man shall be excused for violating the
law you make it evident that every
man will be protected from violation
of the law.
So you see. gentlemen, l am not
advocating anything very resolution
airy. I am advocating action to prevent
anything revolutionary.
If by trust we mean merely big
corporation, then l ask you to ponder
on the utter folly of the man who
either in spirit of rancor or in a
spirit of folly says destroy the
trusts, without giving you an idea
of what he means really to do.
1 will go with him if he says
destroy the evil in the trusts, gladly.
/ will try to find ont that veil. I will
seek to apply remedies, which 1 have
already outlined in other speeches.
But if his policy, from whatever mo-
tive, whether hatred, fear, panic or
just sheer ignorance, is to destroy the
trusts in way that will destroy all
our prosperity-no.
So that the man who advocates de-
stroying the trusts by measures which
would paralyZe the industries of the
country u.s., at best, Quack and, at
worst, an enemy to the republic.
1 think we can get laws which will
measurably increase the power of the
federal government over corporations !;
but, gentlemen, I believe firmly that
in the end there>will have to be an
amendment to the constitution of the
nation comforting additional power
upon the federal government to deal
with corporations. To get that will
be matter of difficulty and a matter
of time
1 want you to think of what have
said. because it represents all of the
sincerity and earnestness thai have,
and l say to you here from this plat
form nothing that have not already
stated and nothing that I would lot
say at private table with any of the
biggest corporation managers of the
land.
President Roosevelt declares that
he will practice what he breaches /;
that if given the power he will deal
with the trusts. This is certainly
plain talk and he cannot afford to go
back on his own uttersnces.
