hungry mob of place hunters back OF
him, would set about creating a strong
centralized government which would be
the stepping stone to the abrcgation of
the most cherished rights of the
American people. In our estimation,
his government of the Philippine Islands
proves this beyond all dispute, since it
was one continuous assault upon the
rights of the people through arrogant
control of the judiciary, abolishing trial
by jury, appealing from verdicts of mot
guilty." increasing punishment on ap-
peal, denying American citizens the
right to keep arms, and the enactment
of severe libel and sedition laws. Let
his record of %despotism in these islands
be a warning to the American people to
trust Taft in no position where he can
demolish the structure of their govern
ment.

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.

There is hardly a voter in the United
States, other than republican politicians,
who does not want to see the trusts and
railroads so controlled that the price of
the products of the trusts and the
charges of the railroads shall be reason
able, yet the republican administration
and the republican controlled congress
have done absolutely nothing that will
decrease the cost of living. There has
been a bluff at trust busting and a rail
road or two have been prosecuted fol
rebatlng, but can you name a railroad
or a trust that has reduced its prices in
consequence of republican legislation!
This is the tariff and trust and railroad
issue of the coming campaign. Promises
for the future and the glad hand to the
voters will not compensate for lack o.
| performance in the past.

"But there is that which is stronger
than the individual preference for MIR.
Bryan-deeper than personal sympathy
and s~entiment-the conviction that he
stands for something other than equl-
vocal promises working their ends
through the arts of expediency laid IN
dicker and barter; that he means m
thing not embraced by private arrange
ment, reached in dark and distant
places; that his very simplicity and lack
of prudence give the people guarantees
that he can not be cajoled or bought or
bullied, but may be relied on to set his
face against low politics and high
finance, sending the Belmonts and the
Ryans of democracy to keep company
with the Harrimans and the Morgans of
republicanism. New York City has
grown somewhat caviar to good men,
whether they be republicans or demo
Gratis. The real line separating Ryan,
the alleged democrat hailing from

as New York-they are associated in a
gigantic community of interest-the real
line separating Hartman, the alleged
republican, and Belmont, an alleged
democrats invisible to any public
gaze. None of them, whether calling
himself a democrat or a republican,
would be satisfied with a president not
at all times accessible to him. We shall
never have an end of syndicated govern
ment until an end is had of this tainted
influence, until the Morgans and the
Belmonts, the Ryans and the Harrimans
are led clearly to understand that they
can not name the candidates of both
parties and so buy the elections each
way, coming and going, until they are
given to know their place and made to
find it in the rear. This is to be the

itself. "These men plainly tell US that
