TRUST 5UsTINo
BY THE REPUBLICANS.


BY THE REPUBLICANS.
1t win Tot be long until the idea-
tity Of the Republican candidate rcr
president this year win be fixed. 1t
is a pretty safe guess that Secretary
Taft vii! be chosen to carry the ban
ner of the Republican party in the
fail campaign, though there are many
Republicans and Democrats. who yet
believe that Roosevelt win finally step
in and take a third term nomination
at Chicago. which undoubtedly he
could do so if he so desired.
Whether the Republican candidate
be Roosevelt or Taft lit viii be one
or the other Will not make any differ
ence in the character of the cam
paign; either will have to answer for
the shortcomings of the Republicans
during their long lease of power. The
attempt which will be. made TO hide
the sins Of that party by the fact that
Roosevelt has busted the trusts" will
not blind the people to the long line
of policies upheld by the Republican
party which made it possible for the
gigantic trusts to grow from the sin
FAINT Industries which was the ex-
cuse for maintaining the ubiquitous
protective tariff; the cry that Roose-
velt busted the trusts" will not blind
the people or the newspapers so that
they cannot see the robbery being per-
petrated by the paper trust on one
of the greatest industries of the conu-
try; the cry that Roosevelt busted
the trusts" will not blind the people
so that they can not see articles Of
American manufacture protected by a
heavy tariff on importations selling
their goods In foreign countries for
less than they can be bought by our
home people; the cry that Roosevelt
sbusted the trusts will not hinder
he people from seeing the attempt
being made in one of my policies"
% concentrate all power in the gov
srnment practically usurping the
rights OF the states as reserved in
the constitution; the cry of Roosevelt
busted the trusts" will not bliHt: the
people to the fact that after all the
noise, after all the fuss and reatn-
ers" which have been used in the
grand stand plays in the White House
every trust is continuing to do bust
ness at the old stand.
1t is quite likely that the people will
want something more demonstrative
of the benefits coming to them be-
cause OF the trust busting of the
Roosevelt administration than the
hundreds of thousands Of idle men
throughout the country today, some,
thing more than the soup houses in
almost every city to feed the idle and
hungry, something more than the alb
sence Of the whirr Of the wheels of
industry in hundreds of manufactures
throughout the country, something
more than the half million Idle
freight cars standing on the side
tracks OF the railroads of the coun-
try.
The people are not blinded so that
they can not see who has been respon-
sibIe for class privilege and protection
in this country during. the long years
Of Republican rule. That party is

the people of the country to demand
relief from the oppression OF one
class of citizens by their exploitation
by another and favored class; hence
the attempt now of the Republicans to
make a campaign by appropriating
and promising to carry out reforms
which have been advocated by Demo
Gratis for more than a dozen years. but
