Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-03

Hon Heke Smith of Georgia, two very able men, will have something to say on the political situation which everybody should hear. There is not much time for further consideration of this great question and it behooyes all to make the best possible use of the few days between now and november 8. The men who have the offices and the good things that go with them are very much opposed to change and are working like beavers to convince their neighbors that if they go out the bottom will drop from the dinner pail and the vessel will hold nothing Tor them. even though they might succeed lin getting a few scraps to put Ill H.. Bit remains to be seen whether the aT> E srage Waterbury man thinks more or his party than he does of himself and the well being of his own family. II Ydoesn't seem that one would think u much of boast to be able to point to a dozen or more millionafres in his party while his own family is living from hand to mouth Gan it be so that the average American citizen has taken a retrograde step and is now Iaflying backward to the spot where he will join hands with his less for tunate brothers in the old world, who reioice and make merry no matter what their lot so long as their task masters and their wives and children have every luxury money can bring Is not this the sum and substance or what the republican speakers are dln> ming into the ears of the people. MI Cannon one of the ablest of the re- publican spelIbinders, wanted folks to mind their own business and let the trusts alone. but MT Parker does not think so ssWhy is it,'' asks the demo- cratic candidate for president, that the price of the things we have to have are pushed up little from time to, time whether there be improvement i'll our incomes or not? It is in part be- cause the business of this country to- day is largely in the control of com binations, or trusts, which are enabled to shut out competition and thus con- trol prices arbitrarily. 1t is said that < there are 453 of these trusts i'll this country Whether that is correct do not know But it is quite certain that the leading industries of this country are rapidly coming into the control of great combinations. You. know the fact that the beef trust is enabled to fix prices and to maintain them practically everywhere in this country. They control the retail deal CTS. who cannot have pound of meat unless they agree to buy it all Of the beef trust Because they practically control the retailers of the country, they are enabled to fix the prices which they shall pay to the stockrafsers fof their cattle and hogs and sheep This is so because there is no one else to buy their stock. When an individual J violates the law the law punishes him. When a corporation violates the law, the, law should punish it. A corpora- ton is no more entitled to immunity from the consequences of it's wrongful acts than the individual. A combina-s ton of individuals to control the mar ket price of products of any kind is J void.s' zs s..stssi.1
