We promise the people relief from
the exorbitant prices of the necessaries
OF life and from the abnormal and IL
legitimate increase in the present cost
OF living, and particularly occasioned
py trust exactions. Existing laws
against trusts must be enforced, more
stringent ones must be enacted, rea-
sonable limitations and restrictions
should be imposed upon the extent to
Which wealth shall be permitted to
combine and virtually monopoize any
branch of industry or the production
OF any article of merchandise, and the
Whole constitutional power of Congress
over the subject of taxation, Interstate
commerce, the mails and all modes of
interstate communicat ton should be ex-
erclsed by the enactment of compre-
hensve laws and the vast legislative
powers of the state shall be invoked
10 the end that the people may have
adequate relief from present intoler-
able trust conditions. And as another
means of immediate and practical al
deviation, the present Republican tariff
laws should be amended by putting
those products of trusts which are
essential to the life, comfort and ne
Seessities of the people upon the free
list and thereby prevent the further
continuance of monopoly under the
plea of protection"
The platform criticises Republican
remedies for trusts, especially the pro-
posal for constitutional amendment,
as intended to postpone remedial legis-
lation.
The diffuse. evasive and contradic-
Tory partisan speeches of the Presi-

Veteran Firemen at Dinner.

Last Saturdays weather dssuaded even
the veteran tiremen from appearing in their
annual parade. Every year since its or
ganization in 1856 the Veteran Volunteer
Firemen's Association has observed the an
niversary of Washington's birth with a
street parade. But in view of the fact that
every member of the body has passed his
fifty-ffth Year and several of them are
more than eighty years old, it was voted
that a parade in Saturdays downpour
would be most unwise. The annual dinner
of the veterans was held Saturday evening
at the headquarters, at the corner of 18th
and II streets northwest. Addresses were
made by the president and Messrs James
Fl. Richards. Alonzo d. Shaw S. A. Belt
