DO THE PEOPLE RULE7
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters That Trusts Control
Legislation.

After all the excitement over the
publication Of the Standard OIL let
ters, showing that trusts control Ieels-
lation has reached the stage where
the voters sft the wheat from the
chaH Of sensational publications, what
will be the logical conclusion in the
minds Of the voters? II will be-
I. That the people do not rule, be-
cause the national lawmakers leeis-
late to suit the trusts, More trusts
exist to-day than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they practice
more extortion.
2. That the party in power Is the
party through which the trusts rule,
The Republican party is now in power.
II writes-all the national laws. In a
speech In the last congress, Mr.. sher.
man candidate for Vice. .Presldent)
declared that the Republican party
assumed full responsibility for every.
thing that has been done and for
what has not been done. That Is
right The trusts write the tariff laws
passed by Republican votes. II the
mdqndtCS are not punlbncu CTlmInal. \.
ly, II is because Republican offieialS
fail in their duties. For II years the
Democrats have had no power 20
frame federal laws or to execute a
federal statute, II everything in
America Is all right, as to federal
laws for II years, the Republican
party deserves the credit. II "evils
have erept in" the Republicans are
responsible. The only hope for a
change lies in the election Of Bryan.
Suppose some indVlduA Democrat
has been employed by a. trust, He
could not get law passed, he could
not give "an immunity bath" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority Of the Republican
congressman favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators cannot
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some DEMOCRAT who has been en-
ployed by trust. Recent disclosures
prove that ths people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence
and fatness to Republican laws and
Republican, officials.
