Nor is 1t true in any proper sense that l the Republican Party deserves much
 credit for enforcing the antitrust law. l What has the Republican Party done
 in this regard? One of the chairmen | of the Republican Conventional have
 forgotten whether 1t was the tempo. rary or the permanent chairman-says
 that it has enjoined the beef trust. We would not have known 1t if some body had not told us. The injunction | does not seem to have any practical effect on the beef trust or upon the price of beefsteak. I think 1t was the | permanent chairman of the Republican Convention who said that the Demo-
 crats killed trusts with wind and the
 Republicans with law. Where are the corpses? There is but one that I know of and 1t properly belongs to Governor Van Sant. It is the spoil of his sword and his spear. The boasts that the ad-
 ministrauon had executed the anti trust law is, of course. ridiculous. The Attorney General, in response to q res-
 olution of my own. frankly confessed
 that nothing had been done toward
 the criminal prosecution of the men
 found guilty by the Supreme Court in
 the Northern Securities case of having
 violated the law and incurred its pen alties. The entire Republican Party at the last session of the House of Rep lresentatives, with three exceptions. vot- ed against a proviso instructing the Secretary of the Navy not to enter into contracts with trusts and unlawful
 combinations, convicted by law of being such. The Attorney General in answer to a resolution. failed to show that anything substantial had been done, civilly or criminally, against
 the anthracite coal carrying roads and anthracite coal mine owners constitut- ing together in violation of the law,
 one of the greatest trusts in this coun-
 try. Although private American citi-
 to get up the evidence, the Attorney
 General in that case is hiding behind
 the pretext that 1t would be contrary
 to public policy for him to give Con- gress any information as to what was
 being done. This same trust buster"
 as my friend. Joe Cannon, would have us believe him to be. Attorney General
 Knox. has just been appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania, a Senator from that State, on the demand, so the newspapers all say. of the very men who constitute this unlawful combi-
 nation. or who are at any rate the
 presidents of the railroad companies and the owners of the mines consti-
 tuting it. What are you going to do when the trust buster" Is removed or
 promoted" out of the way? Then there follows the boast of having per- fected the interstate commerce law
 The ahsurdity ot this statement Is de-
 monstrated by the actual condition of
 things. The Interstate Commerce Commission has been knocking at the doors of Congress for years, asking

and other schemes were rife from 1S90 and thence on. The two old parties," as they were called. were blamed for it all, but the one In power was blamed most. hence the one out of power got in. Men advocating these nostrums, in the state of public desperation then ex- isting counted the audiences through out the suffering West and depressed South, no longer by numbers, but by the acre."
 Who will deny the historical truth of a single sentence of the paraphrase: |: Why pretend to have forgotten all this? Why not be honest with the people. as men ought to be? It Is true that after the election of Mir Cleveland, the chronic business depression continued. It is true that 1t became acute; in a word, reached the banks-and the fright or panic of 1893 came, which was not q local or an American condition. but one which had existed from where Vienna nestles on the Danube to where Ruenos Avres commands It's bay. one whose foundations had been laid long before 1t reached us, almost last among the nations. Then with the panic on us, more nostrums of a national character were suggested to cure an evil of world character One of them, as you will all remember was the repeal of tho purchasing clause of the sherman act This nostrum was suggested by wise mon and fl was administered to the pa tIent If did no good. of course.

 RepenI of Purchasing Clause.
 Tn the midst of the panic all the wise men and chief among them the Repub- lican leaders, told us that 1t was lack of confidence in the money of the coun- tr,," that had brought on the panic. The Democratic administration with suficient number of votes of both par ,tas in the two houses behind it. took that view of the situation. and de- rnanded and secured the passage of the act repealing the purchasing clause of inc sherman act thereby, for the first tiroe practically establishing the gold standard in the United States.

 because 1t was a Republican President and Republican measure. but because the American Government was at last pursuing an American policy. q policy which had always been Democratic. Then the platform adds these words: We fought quick, victorious war with Spain." Bad history again. Americans fought 1t. It would be in- vidious to state the politics of the he- roes. but 1t seems to me that I have heard that Dewey was a Democrat. that Schley was a Democrat. that Miles was Democrat. and 1t seems to me, too. that I have heard that Repub- lican administration snubbed the first, tried to disgrace the second and in- suited the third. It seems. too. that line that Joe Wheeler was as much in evidence at Santiago as the President himself. It seems to me that I have heard that Hobson. who did futile but brave act, was a Democrat.

 The Great Trust Question.
 Let us see what the Republicans have to say for themselves in connection with the great trust question. This is the language of the platform: Laws enacted by the Republican Party and which the Democratic Party had failed to enforce have been fear lessly enforced" Here are the state. ments, first, that the Republicans in- stead of both parties. enacted the law. which is not true; second, that the Democratic Party had done nothing, and. third, that the Republican Party has enforced the law. which is only partially true. Now the fact is that although the Democrats only had a four years opportunity and although the trust evil was neither very acute nor very prevalent at that time. Attor- ney General Harmon. under Cleveland's administration found the suit of the Government against the Trans Missou- ri Freight Association lost. took 1t up. revived it and won it. He then insti- tuted suit against the Joint Traffic As sociation and also against the Eddy stone Pipe Company. These two cases were decided for the Government after MT. Cleveland went out. 1t Is true, but on the lines laid down by his Attorney General, and the principle established in the case of the Government against the Trans Missouri Freight Association the principle there contended for by Clevelands Attorney General-is the principle which gave life to the pro- ceedings in the Northern Securities case and which led Governor Van Sant and not the Republican Party. as has been falsely pretended. to inaugurate that case.

| mand for other things, leading to high CT prices and a better volume of trade promised to their minds prosperity without free silver. greater false hood was never uttered than that wheat tor anything else went up because MT Mckinley was elected" Things had struck rock bottom and had begun to revive before MT. Mckinley was elect ed and the first index of that fact was the rise in the price of wheat followed by the rise in the price of other agricul- tural products sympathetically with 1t. Then came the immense increase of gold output that kept prices up here and elsewhere. Not only Is the boast that MT McKinley's election was responsi- ble for high prices not true. but 1t is a very dangerous falsehood. The Popu lists first taught the people in certain sections of this country that prosperity was. chiefly dependent on government. Some men preach the doctrine with the hope that during periods of prosperity the average man will let even an ex- travagant, dishonest and unjust govern ment in which he Is interested, con tinue uninterrupted. This is the chief, fnot the sole. hope of the Republican party today. Let the Republican par ty beware and let all men who love their country beware of carrying this doctrine of government created pros perity any further. If the idea is once firmly imbedded in the human mind there will he no saving It's teachers from the wrath to come-state social ism.
 Bad History Again.
 l quote again from the Republican platform: We refused to palter longer with the miseries of Cuba" and de clared war against Spain" Bad history again. Democrats demanded the re- cognition of belligerent rights and in- dependence for Cuba--day in and day out The Republican speaker con- stantly refused them even as much as parliamentary recognition. The Re publican President was thoroughly out of sympathy with their wishes. Fin ally treachery and cruelty unprecedent- ed led to the blowing up of the Maine and her crew Public opinion would no longer be restrained. Remember the Maine" became a battle cry. It was not sthe miseries of Cuba" at all that led the Republican Party to fall into line with the public demand and fight Spain. Hearing the echo of that cry of Remember the Maine" and amidst the universal excitement and anger, the Republican Speaker and the President both stood out of the way, as well they might, and the former ad- vised armed intervention. It is unpa- triotic to pretend that even this, long delayed as 1t was. was In any proper sense a Republican measure. Demo- crats voted for it as fully as Repub- licans- Democrats enthusiastically and unanimously gave to the President of the United States S50.000, 900 to spend in bis discretion. They did this and

situation. that II there was anything he

The sentiment thus expressed Is quite
general among a certain class. IT Is
true to this extent that anyone who
will wrongfully take what belongs to
another. even If the methods employed
are technically correct, Is contemplate,
and deserves ostracism among honest
men and women. And TO take another's

than larceny, or burglary for that mat
ter, But it il wrong to assume, as the
young man referred TO evidently did,
that the "jobs" the strikers voluntarily
abandon, are stlll theirs. That is
misunderstanding which is very preya-
lent, though grotesquely absurd.

cussed. That is admitted. Any laborer
