The Friends Of Cuba.


Neither are we insensible to the ap-
peals OF Cuba for relief from the tariff
exactions imposed by the Republican
party. We were the friends of Cuba
when she was suffering from Spanish
oppression and when a Republican adj
ministrstion was reluctant to interfere
in its behalf.
eve are the true friends Of Cuba to-
day and we are prepared to mete out
to her not merely a paltry 20 per cent.
but the full measure of justice 10 which
she is entitled and which the present
national administration refuses to con-
cede to her"
Mr. Hui asserted 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 Dingley law as a trust
breeding measure and said that this mea
sure had not only succeeded in creating
more trusts than ever before in the
history Of the country. but 1t has also
succeeded in sitting competition to a
greater extent than was ever known.
He declared further that It had Sue
eeeded in unnecessarily raising the cost
Of living and had caused more strikes
on the part Of workingmen than at any
period of our history.
Attack on the Trusts.
THAT there has existed for some time
popular sentiment in demanding re-
lief in some form from trust exactions
IS quite apparent Acting upon the as
sumption that the trusts should be pros
ecuted by their friends and not their
enemies. the national administration was
at last constrained 10 institute some
civil suits TO test the efficacy CT the
Sherman act What has been the net
result? A fev temporary injunctions
have been obtained. with the tacit con
sent OF the trusts themselves. OF at
least with .Iitle or no opposition which
IN general terms restrain the trusts
from violating the sherman act (whch
they expressly deny they have violated
