ATTACKS TRUSTS.
"Why hasn't President Roosevelt and
the Attorney General made an attempt
to crush the trusts? Because, gentlemen,
the Republican party is owned and con-
trolled, body and soul, by the trusts. The
Republican party needs the trusts money
for campaign purposes. When There are
no longer trusts in this country there
won't be Republican party"
The speaker referred to the failure of
Cuban reciprocity despite the Presidents
efforts, and predicted that a military
Governor would yet have to be sent to
the island.
REVISE TARIFF.
s'The Dingley tariff act must be revis-
ed, and that revision must come quick.
It's the dady and mother of all the COM
bines and trusts in this country" said
Mr.. Livingston.
Instead of Secretary Shaw loaning
$31, 100000 to the trusts a few days ago,
to tide over a threatened Wall Street
panic, why didn't his humanity extend to
the coal strikers? The miners couldn't
pay anything back in the way of cam
paign funds. Who authorized him to
make this loan? Where was his author
ity?"
Mr.. Livingston referred to the surplus
in the treasury as proof that the country
was getting more revenue than it needed,
and declared it time the tariff We're cut
down, and the benefit go to the people.

can't use your votes. I've got no motive
of deception in coming to Jersey City to
deceive you. I'm not here to tell you that
capital shouldn't be permitted to COM
bine. But it's simply this: If you don't
intend to be controlled by combines, that
shall control your home, your clothes,
your food, your everything, you have got
to control them. Whenever combines or
trusts attempt such things it's your duty
as man, a father, son, citizen, to
say No.

strikes are not caused by trusts or tariff,
and that labor strikes when the Repub-
licans are in power, and capital strikes

in power they squeeze capital"
