MAINE LEGISLATURE.
Continued from page 2.)

great controversy about corporations is
between power and the people. AS
strong as may be the love of power of
lae. gls, at captains Of industry, just so
strong is the love. of fair Ley OF the
uart OF the people. All men are equal
on TIE common deck of life. ana we
should legisiate to that end. Twice
during the session of this Legislature
have we been asked to pass upon rights
between the people and corporations,
once upon the standard form of insur-
ance policy, and yesterday, on the
Messalonskec Light Company. and both
times have we been found wanting.
This Senate which has always been a
synonym for integrity. At the first
part of this session we listened to the
very able remarks of the senator from
iIcnnebec. Mr.. Alden, upon the dairy
interests of the State. The eloquence
of that sneech has not been equalled
this session. He referred tn our gal
liant sons who fought so noD'y on
Southern battle fields, TO the illustrious
CONS Of Maine in Congress. but said n"
was Inundated that the price of Maine
butter in the Boston market was two
cents a pound less than New Hamp-
tor. If he would nave been proud of
those noble sons and if he would not
have been more Inundated If pues-
ton had arisen between the people and
corporations and our noble sons had
voted against the rights OF the people
in favor of the corporations, and if he
would not have been more INUNDATED
still! If those illustrious sons had voted
Ia q
these questions and against them the
next. on the same question. Would you
not have questioned their loyalty to the
people?
