In the early part OF this campaign
Judge Parker stated:
The common law as developed
affords a complete legal remedy
against monopolie x and ex-P PRESIDENT

Within the last few avs Mr.. CIeye-l
land in a public speech criticised the
Republican administration for not
running amuck IN the. business In
terests ofgEthe coun try, which 50 emfs
.nent philogist as he knows means
that he criticizes the President for not

and destroying The guilt. and inno-- |
cent alike; while Judge Parker onlys
yesterday bewaiIs tn q fact that cor
poratfons are permitted to violate the |,

to the Republican cause.
What can be the reason for this
change Of front2 Mr.. Cleveland on
March 1901 notwith standing the

ing the beef trust, unlawful, says
the law, thus throwing the weig Tit of
his opinion in favor of the Deef#trust''
and against the United States at g
time when the case was pending and
undecided in the hIg CHEST court;&
while on October 21, 1901, he infer
entially demanded that all incorpos
rated business should be wantonlyf
assailed. "a Is
Is there any connection between
Judge Parker's abandonment Ct his
.uti1e. common law panacea, which
meant immunity to the trusts, and
he fact, as he alleges. that the trusts
contribute to the success of 4 ne Rel
publican party? Do, the principles: of
aw which Mr.. Cleveland thought
