Mr. Kern then turned bis attention
to Mr.. BonapaIte and the steel cor
po-ation.
"Although the most conspicuous
of all the gigantic monopolies which
have grown up behind the Dingley
, tariff WALL" he said, "there is one
man in the country Who is in doubt
} as to its existence. That man is a
: distinguished citizen Of Maryland,
Hon. Charles Bonaparte, chief law
S officer of the United States. Refer
: ring to the charge made by Mr..
t Bryan that this combine has beer
t allowed to grow ana thrive and fat
y ten upon the earnings of the people
in defiance Of law, MIR. Bonapartt
falls into humorous vein ant

papers today in the form of an inter
view"
4 Mr.. Kern quoted the interview
. which was in substance that no spe
citic charges bad been made agains
the corporation, hence there ha
been no prosecution.
w "This pronunciamento," he contir
te ued twill be read with interest b
v victims Of this great trust, who al
ne to be found in every hamlet in I'll
Us land. They know that special office
Vi of the government are sent to evel
NC part OF the country to spy upon Il

Sc in the most technical manner. Tn,

ho BRYAN has never been called upon
!" furnish information as to any
o'' these cases. But when the attenti

''e called TO monStrouS continui
o' crime, known OF all men, the incu
'eu bent OF that great Office declares tt
'no he has no personal or official kno'
o"' edge, and declines information exec
i'm the most specific form.
One of Mr.. Bonaparte's predec
''' sors, Richard Olney, he said, seen
wv to have no trouble in getting INF

'ou "While the distinguished
