our motto must be. "a private monopoly

plan Of attack must contemplate the total

Need Not Quarrel over Remedies.
We need not quarrel over remedies. We
must show ourselves willing to support
any remedy which promises substantial
advantages to the people in their warfare
against monopoly. Something is to be eX-
pected from the enforcement of the Grim
inal clause of the Sherman antitrust law
but this law must be enforced not against
a few trusts as at present. but against all
the trusts, and the aim must be TO i'm
prison the guilty. not merely to recover il
tine. What is a fine of a thousand dollars
or even ten thousand dollars. to Il trust
which makes a hundred thousand dollars
while the trial is in progress? If the Grim
inal clause Is not good to be enforced. it
ought to be repealed. If Imprisonment is
too severe n punishment for the eminently
respectable gentlemen who rob eighty
millions Of people of hundreds of millions
OF dollars annually the language of the
statute ought to be changed for nothing
is more calculated to breed anarchy than
the failure to enforce the law against
rich criminals, while it is rigidly enforced
against petty offenders.
Advocates New Legislation.

together in restraint Of trade are threat

do now is to dissolve their separate corpO-
ratiOns, and turn their property over to
new corporation. The new corporation
can proceed to do the same thing that the
separate corporations attempted. and yet
not violate the law. We need. therefore
new legislation and the republican party
not only fails to enact such legislation,
but fails even to promise it. The demo-
cratic party must be prepared to propose
new and efficient legislation
No Man Can Serve Two Masters.
Recent Investigations have brought to

Thus far l have dWelt upon subjects
which may not he regarded as strictly
partZan. but | am sure that you will
pardon me if in this presence | betray
my interest in those policies for which
the democratic party stands. ! have not
had on opportunity to make a demo-
cratic speech for year, and no one
not even a political enemy-could be so
cruel as to forbid me to speak of those
policies on this occasion. Our opponents
have derived not only partizan pleasure,
but also partizan advantage from the
division caused in our party by the
money question. They ought not, there
fore. begrudge us the satisfaction that
we find in the fact that unexpected con-
ditionS have removed the cause of our
difference, and permitted us to present
Il united front on present issues. Tn
lOOkCdtOr and unprecedented increase in
the production of gold had brought a
victory to both the advocates of gold
and the advocates Of i-metaism-the
former keeping the gold standard which
they wanted, and the latter securing the
larger volume of money for which they
COntendcd. We who favor bi-metalism
are satisfied without victory if the
friends of mOno-metaliSm are 81
with theirs. And we can invite them to
Il contest of zeal and endurance in the
enOrt to restore to tie people the rights
which have gruadually been taken from
them by the trusts.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Closely Allied With Trust ou..,,o

The tariff question is very closely al.
lied to the trust question and the re-
ductiOn of the tariff furnishes an easv
means of limiting the extOrtion which
the trusts can practice. While absolute
free trade would not necessarily make a
trust impossible. still it is probable thai
very few manufacturing establishments
would dare to enter into the trust of Tn

free list articles competing with those
controlled by a trust While l shall take
occasion at an early day to consider the
tariff question more at length. l can NOT
permit this opportunity to pass without
expressing the opinion that the princi-
pie empoded in the protective tariff has
been the fruitful source of a great deal
Of political corruption. as well as the
support OF many of our most iniuuitous
trusts. 1t is difficult to condemn the
manufacturers for uniting to take advan
tage of a high tariff schedule, when the
schedule Is framed on the theory that the
Industries need all the protection given

Tariff and Votes.
But one of the worst features of the
tariff levied not for revenue. but for the
avowed purpose of protection. is that il
fosters the idea that men should use their

than because of lack of sympathy with
those who toll. The removal of work from
the house to the factory has separated
the husband from his wife and the father
from his children, while the growth of
our cities has put an increasing distance
between the home and the workshop.
Then. too. more is demanded of the labor
ing man now than formerly. He is a citi-
zen as well as laborer, and must have
time to study questions if he is to be an
intelligent sovereign. To drive him fron
