The request was uttered by two men

The extermination Of trusts is
not the extermination of business.
If, for instance, single corpora
tion has monopoly of the pro
duction of u necessary of life, and
has ten factories in different states
for the production of this particu
article, the extermination of this
trust would mean the selling off of
enough factories to reduce the pro-
duction of this one corporation to
a point where 1t would no longer
have a monopoly, But this would
not mean the closing up of the
factories. The people would still
need the article and the article
would still have to be produced.
But the independent factories COM
ing into competition with the orig
inal corporation--now no longer
monopoly-would reduce the price
of the article, and the people at
large would get the benefit Of the
reduction. With reduction in
price, the people could buy more
of the article produced, and this
would increase the demand for la
Dor, and new factories would
spring up or existing factories
would be enlarged. With num-
Der of factories competing for la
borers, the laborers' chance of en-
ployment would be better, and his
wages would be higher. Then,
too, with u number of factories
competing for raw material, the
price of raw material would in
crease. In other words, the ex.
termination Of the trust, instead Of
destroying business, would restore
business to a healthy condition;
while it reduced the price Of the
product, increased the price of the
raw material, and improved the
condition of the laboring man.
Competition Is the natural condi-
ton, and the determination of the
trust would restore competition.
Monopoly is an unnatural condi-
ton, and the Republican party has
fostered monopoly and thus built
industry upon false basis to the
detrimen Mt of all of the parties con-
cerned except the monopolist, and
he has been demorallzed by his
unearned wealth while the rest Of
the people have been victimlzed
by the practice of monopoly.
Secretary Taft ought to study
the trust question little more, or
discuss it less, for each speech re-
veals his lack of familiarity with
the subject or his lack Of sympathy

MAY 10, 1908.
SECRETARY TAFT ON TRUSTS

Secretary Taft is rapidly dis
closing his ignorance on the trust
question, for to believe him ignor-
ant is more charitable than to be
lieve that he does not intend to in
terfere with ths trusts, although
his language would justify even
this belief. He takes Mr.. Bryan
to task for favoring the extermin-
alton of trusts, and says that to
exterminate trusts would be to ex.
terminate industry. The secretary
desires to regulate and control the
trusts. But has bis party not been
Regulating" and controlling for
some eleven years now2 And have
we not more trusts now than We bad
when the regulating and controll
ing began? The trust family is
family big enough to satisfy the
presidents ideas of the size of a
family, and the birth rate is great
or than the death rate. The ad-
ministfation has commenced suit
against a few trusts, but not
against many, and the trusts are
still gentle enough to come up and
eat out of the administration.
What has been done in regard to
the steel trust? Did it not swa''
low up the Tennessee Coal u Iron
Company? And was it not given
out that the swallowing was done
after the administration had been
consulted? Is the steel trust fight
ing Secretary Taft? And what
about the International Harvester
Company Have the farmers Sc
cured any relief yeti And what
about the paper trust' The steel
trust has something like billion
dollars of water in its stock; 1T can
afford to contribute ten millions
TO tho Republican compalgn fund,
because it can get back many
times that out of a Republican vic
tory, and this is only one trust out
Of tho many. How can the peo-
pie hope to regulate or control
trusts when tho trusts, by tho
election of their favorlte TO office,
are able to control the govern
ment!
