We may differ as to the question OF
free trade with foreign nations. but
there can be no doubt of the desir-
ability of a good deal freer trade
among ourselves than we now enjoy.
Greed has interposed many obstacles
between the people and their source
OF supply. Too many men and organ
izations take toll Of lies necessities
before they reach the consumer. Con-
sumers, not being organized In their
capacity as consumers, 1t is most diff
f1cult for them to protect themselves
against extortion or to maintain their
rights. Therefore, the government is
under peculiar obligation to enforce
any laws enacted for their protection.
This, OF course, is the animating pur-
pose Of the suit against the lumber
trust. The government has been at
work for year gathering evidence.

OF its ground. Those who were 80

TRUSTS HERE AND IN BRITAIN
Real Truth Regarding Conditions
Seems q Hard Matter to Get
aafore the Voters,

In the senate the other day enemies
Of reciprocity did not scruple to re-
peat the fiction that trusts such 40
despoil the people Of this country
exist also in free trade England. The
persistent propagators OF this fable IN
face of the fact that such gigantic
combinations as the steel trust. the
sugar trust and the lumber trust can
not exist where free trade combats
them are referred to famous work OF
Mrs. Opie on the different ways of
perverting the truth. 1t was said OF
Napoleon that he never hesitated to
lie whenever 1t served his purpose
and that he lied at st. Helena almost
to his last breath. The propagandists
Of the tale Of spoliatory trusts under
British free trade are Napoleonic In
this respect II in nothing else.
The cable has just reported how
English courts and juries deal with
promoters Of wormy joint stock COM
panies. Most of the alleged trusts in
England are companies and firms of
only to the superior quality and cheap
ness OF their goods. These are the
sole conditions on which they can
thrive. Instead Of being subject to
parliamentary Investigations and gov
eminent prosecutions they are vel.
coined by British consumers. Here.
on the other hand, the great industrial
trusts now undergoing Investigations
in congress and prosecutions in the
federal courts, owe their existence to
the favoritism Of unjust tarif laws.
That Is the difference.
In this country the trusts thrive in
gathering the spoilc from the people
because the tariff prohibits or OBJ
structs free competition with them.
In England. when combination i'm.
dertakes to monopolize trade in any
article and force its price above a
normal level, competition flows In
from every direction to redress the
balance in favor of consumers, and
that is the end of trusts of our Ameri-

Democratic Doctrine,

Mr.. President. was taught to be-
lieve that genuine Democracy looks to
the millions and to their relief rather
than to the hundreds who need no
relief. It does not array class against
class; 1t does not encourage the rich
to Cypress the poor, nor teach the
poor 10 envy the rich. 1t enjoins up
on every man to respect the rights Of
others. Its creed is justice to all men,
but II it can do benevolence to some
without doing injustice to any. It Will
bestow its favors, not upon those
whose abundance gives them luxury
and ease. but upon those whose hard
estate condemns them to a reverend
ing toll. for its great mission In this
world was and is
To lift some portion Of that weight and
care
Which brushes into despair

Sugar Trust is Now a Model.

In days OF old it was usual to CON-
vert the heather by the use of force
and cruelty. That the sugar trust
could have been brought to salvation
by any other means Is more than
doubtful. It was not led to the altar
OF repentance by gentle persuasion,
but dragged there by unfeelinK and
brutal hands. If it had been left to
itself to work out Its moral regenera-
ton it might still be swindling the
government out Of millions, brihing
customs officials and classifying its rec
ords. 1t is now a highly self-respect-
ing corporation that speaks unctuous-
ly of the pecuniary benefits it confers
upon thousands of widows and or
phans.
The sugar trust was saved by being
caught.
