JUDGE GOODW|NS REMEDY

Mr.. Bryan's Commoner. referring to
the decision in the Standard Oil case,
says:
while dissolving the Standard Oil
Company, 1t (the decision) virtually
amends the law so as to make it neces.
sary to prove that any restraint Of trade
complained Of is unreasonable. The
effect Of this practically will be to null
lily the law and to make il necessary to
amend the Sherman antitrust law and
make it more stringent.
We wish thst Mr. Bryan would
arouse himself and go back to what first
gave him real fame; that he would take
the stand that the trusts, some good and
come vicious, are but details after all;
that the one great gold combine is what
is swapping the strength of the country
that it is prostrating business and
making all Americans servitors of that
mighty gold power. which is paraly ziDg
business and demoralizing the whole
country and proclaim that it must be
shorn Of its abnormal power; that the
first essential is to call congress Of the
nations to fix upon fair ratio betw cen
gold and silver, and remonetize silver
on that basis then to create a financial
system through which the country's s
business could be adjusted so that busi-
ness men could carry on their enter
prises without fear of panics. and if
they needed loans they could, on good
security, get all the money they might
need at fair rates. system which
would once more make money a
medium Of exchange and fair MEASURE
of values. II he could do that. he
would be the next president of the
United States, and would have some-
thing else vastly more satisfying. name.
ly, the consciousness OF having served
his country and his countrymen more
effectively than any other man has
since the great war closed.
The truth is, the American people
are working now for clothes and board
merely, with the prospect before them
that the failure Of one crop would pros.
trate the business Of the laud for years
to come. During the great war the
whole North prospered on which to do
business. though that medium was an
imperfect one. depending upon the
wisdom of our statesmen and the valor
our soldiers to make it OF any value.
What is needed now is such an in
crease in attainable money as will per-
init business to go on unhampered-not
such money as was forced on the peo-
Pile in the war. but money as good as
gold, that people on ample security can
obtain.
Wise men have been fighting the
Standard Oil trust for years. What
for? Because it is a monopoly, though
it has supplied the public with better
oil than they ever obtained before and
at cheaper rates. But they have none
OF them attacked the methods used by
that company. in combination with
other companies, in their handling OF
the profits of their business. though that
com bination WAS fiually. through its
awful power, able to obtain control OF all
the gold in circulation and made OF the
people of the United States mere
servitors Of that combine. All other
questions-tariff. reciprocity, ordinary
trusts. conservation. arid lands, swamp
lands-are trifling compared with this.
There must be new financial system
put In operation in this country, or
with the failure of one crop our country
would be the pity of Venezula or San
Domingo. Goodwin in Salt
