all that he is right, and in the: end he will

National Rights and State Rights

Torrents OF good red blood were
poured out during the great: conflict
known as the war for the union, 1861
1865, out Of which our battle-scarred
country came out with the doctrine
mented with the blood Of one Of the
greatest conflicts known to history.
Since then, the growth Of the ma
honal spirit has been steady and per-
sistent, leading up thru judicial deter
limitations as to the powers of the fed
eral government to the recent decisive
merger deliveranoe. It is now settled
that a corporation can go into inter-
state commerce on the terms pre-
scribed by congress and no other. The

Whether the parttcularistic element

Hamilton is seen in our progress to
nationalism rather than the influence

controlled the convention, Of the COM
monwealths called by Virginia in
1885 to meet in Annapolis to regulate
commercial relations between all the
commonwealths. It was Hamilton
who then proposed the assembling OF

The Sherman antitrust law, against
