Mr. Iiil assorted that the logic Of
events had demonstrated the soundness
of many Democratic contentious Of re-
cent years he recalled that portion of
the Kansas city platform which con
demned the Dlngloy law as "A trust
breeding measure, and said that this
measure had not only succeeded in cree
atlng more trusts than ever before In
the history OF the country. but 70 has
also succeeded In sitting competition to-
a greater extern than was ever known.
He declared further that 1t had sue

any period OF our history.
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 ciyil suits to test the efficacy OF
the sherman act. What has been The
net resultt A few temporary mjunc-
ions have been obtained with the tacit
consent NJ the trusts themselves or at
least with little on no opposition. which

from violating the Sherman act (Which
they expressly deny they have violated

SUFFICIENT commentary upon the whole
proceedings to say that no criminal
prosecution has been Instituted, no ar.
rest has been made, and no indictment
found anywhere.

What the people want Is immediate
rellei from the present high prices eX-
l0rted from them. That relief can be
obtained by the application Of speedy

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
er. We all concur In the principle
that public taxation should be Inn
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-
lions of capital which create mono
poles, stitle 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

money as opposed TO an irredeemable
paper currency.

Dor and its right TO demand just and
adequate compensation. We are all
opposed 10 an immense standing army
In times OF peace. We are all In ia
