RELIEF FROM TRUSTS.
"That there has existed for slime time
a popular sentiment demanding relief
IN some form from these exactions Is
quite apparent Acting upon the as
sumption that the trusts should be
prosecuted by their friends and not
their enemies, the national adminlstra-
ton was at last constrained to institute
some cvil suits TO test the efficacy OF
the sherman act What has been the
net result? A few temporary miunc-
lions have been obtained with the tacit
consent of the trusts themselves or at
least with little on no opposition. which
III general terms restrain the trusts
IRON violating the Sherman act (Which
they expressly deny they have violated
or are now yiOlatlng), and little or
nothing else had been accomplished
and the courts will soon adjourn for
the summer; the business Is continued
and prices remain the same It is n

proceedings TO say that no criminal
prosecution has been instituted, no ar
rest mas been made, and no indictment
found anywhere.

DEMOCRATIC UNITY.
Upon the subject OF Democratic
Unity he said, There Is substantial
accord among the Democrats OF the
country upon all the timely issues
which are now engrossing public atten-
ton. We are all united In favor OF
the preservation of constitutional lib
erty wherever our flag floats. We are
opposed as the permanent policy of the
government to the maintenance Of de-
pendent colonies 10 be governed out
side the pale Of tn constitution We
are all agreed that the civil should al
ways be superior to the military pow
en- We all concur in the principle
that public taxation should be i'm
posed for public purposes only. We all
favor freedom Of commerce. and there
fore favor genuine reciprocity with
foreign nations, but are all opposed
TO sham Republican reciprocity. which
Is only another name for Republican
hypocrisy
OPPOSITION TO COMBINES.
There is no division In sentiment ia
our opposition TO corporate comblna-
tons of capital which create mono
poles, stine competition and unreason
ably enhance prices for the necessaries
Of life. We all stand for free trade
In all articles controlled by the trusts.
We all desire justice for Cuba and |
justice to the consumers OF the United |
States also.
I'VE all stand where Jackson, Ben |
ton and Tilden stood-ln favor Of hard |
money as opposed 10 an irredeemable |
paper currency.
I'VE all recognize the dignity OF Ia |
Dor and its right 10 demand just and |
adequate compensation. We are all |
opposed 10 an immense standing army |
in times OF peace. We are all In ia
