folly to deprive the courts OF the
means Of enforcing their decrees after
fair hearing has been had.
The injunction is not used In labor
matters alone, he urged. but many
ines oftener to restrain unfair trading
and combinations Of capital. II the
Democratic anti-injunction plank were
to be enacted into law. he declared,
in the long run II would work In the
interest Of those with the most re-
sources to prolong litigation and defy
the courts and 60 unpublished after fair
hearing and decision rendered"
What faulty II Is to make an issue
OF the process Of the courts when at
the same time he bryant proposes
policies that will close factories. ruin
industry and throw laboring men out
OF work." Hughes asked. THE first
question is not whether a man should
be punished for contempt or court. but
whether he shall have a chance TO
work"
In speaking Of Bryan's record he
said:
Tn 1896 he offered himself for the
salvation Of the country. and we found
afterward that the salvation of the
country lay III rejecting his offer. Mr..
Bryan would not be candidate today
IL he had had a chance to put his poll
cies into practice In the past. He
would be buried ip the wreck OF his
own policies"
Then the speaker turned to quiet
ridicule OF Bryan, saying that he un.
derstood Bryan had changed. He IN.
that it was a change in mind
and not In politics that the Democratic
leader most requires. Turning to the
question OF trusts, he declared that
Bryan has several remedies ard
shifts from one to another when cor
nered. First he spoke OF the idea OF
putting all trust-made articles on the
free list.
IF that would exterminate the big
trusts, 1t would destroy the smaller
concerns Also" he said.
A law to prevent duplication OF di.
rectors, as proposed by Bryan for COM
peting companies, would be impractic-
able unless some law could also be de-
vised to create independent stock.
holders. The heaviest artillery was
used against the plan OF limiting any
concern to the manufacture of so per
cent OF the product Of that article in
the country. Hughes inquired what
Bryan would do with articles that are
specialties and which are made by
only owe concern. also patented arti.
cles and those controlled by secret
process. He inquired how Bryan
would compute his so per cent.
whether by day, month or year and
how he would arrange for = supply OF
articles which were required but
which could not be made because the
firm owning the factories could only
make half the product. He instanced
the possibilities of concern making
Sc, 600, 900 worth of product as
against 32,O00,000 for the other small
er firms in the trade. This concern
would have to cut its output to $4,000
900 a year also and increase only as
others did, the workingmen going Idle
in the meantime.
INV Bryan may say that they could
sell their plants, but firm cannot
always sell 10 per cent OF It's plant
where the processes are interviewer.
said Hughes. "A merchant here n
Detroit might have to curtail his out
nut because another merchant out
west had failed and thereby diminished
the output of that line OF commod-
tiles"
He went on with long discussion OF
this issue winding up by saying:
"Bryan says he IL opposed to CEN
in government and in the
same breath he proposed scheme for
government beyond the
dreams of anyone who has advised
that kind Of government. And To
think of any man who could propose
such a chimerical scheme asking to
be made president of the United
Statesi"
The last issue taken up by Gov
Hughes was that of government guar

he admitted, had an attractive appear
ance.
Attacks Bank Deposits Guaranty.
I'VE want before we have guaranty
of deposits to have deposits In th'
banks" he said. arguing that Repubii
can and not Bryan policies were nee
essary to create prosperity and roster
deposits II IL unfair TO sadie pru
dent and conservative banks with the
imprudences and losses OF other
banks over which they have no con
troll" he said, continuing by showing
figures taken from the New York
banks troubles of last fall to show that
guarantee fund would be far. too
small for instant relief and much too
large for eventual losses. He added
that the withdrawal of large sum
OF money for guaranty purposes from
would make II SO much
harder for bankers to pay their de-
positors.
III government supervision is too
lax. make II more strict" he gave as
his remedy"
There was great cheering at the end
Of the speech.
