Bryan and Roosevelt {.
Mr.. Roosevelt says:

WI. RoOScNGlI says.
Understand, I'm not for monopoly
when we can help it. We intend TO
restore competition. We intend to do
away with conditions that make for
monopoly. But there are certain
monopolies which you can't prevent.
/ understand the Steel Trust is not
an absolute monopoly. But if it were
there would be no use of splitting up
the Steele Trust into three companies,
controlled by Morgan. Carnegie, and
Rockefeller. Would it ameliorate
conditions at all? Would it make the
prices lower to the consumer, the
wages and conditions higher for the
worker? Don't you suppose these
three fellows would agree on prices
and methods unofficially?"
Replying to this interesting asser-
ton, Mr.. Bryan says:
1T is astounding that candidate
for the Presidency would declare the
Federal government powerless to
prevent these three fellows from
agreeing on prices and methods. Is
our government so helpless that while
it can prevent three poor men from
conspiring to rob house, it cannot
prevent three rich men from conspir-
ing to burglarize a nation.''
