The Greeley tribune., 1912-10-24

]
no. Who? A bureau. down in
Washington. What they need is
not bureau, they want a coffin for
/ the trusts. The democratic party
stands where 1t has always stood
and says the trusts in America must
be destroyed, for the preservation
of the economic liberties of the
people. ! don't believe any govern
ment at Washington has a right to
take away from these people the
control OF their own corporations,
they belong to you and you have q
right to manage them in Colorado.
You can get rid OF them by forfeit
ing their charters. They are not
organized to get married, corpora
tions have no right to get married.
and l hold that no two corporations
have right to live upon bonds and
stocks in open and notorious adul-
terry. A corporation is a creature Of
the state with certain fixed rights
and privileges.
Who can give a good reason
why the general government should
not transfer to Colorado Colorado's
lands. and why Colorado should not
take charge of her own irrigation
projects and reforestration? II ever
l have the power every state in this
nation is going to be guaranteed the
right to manage it's own affairs
Il can tell you how to get rid of
the trusts Just kill the mamma
and the child will die for want of
sustenance. 1t is somewhat cruel,
but the highly prohibitive tariff is
the thing that makes the trusts.
Tariff Makes the Trusts
II don't believe ever converted
but one republican that I know Of
He was the Overseer of the poor.
Came into my office and said:
What do you think Mrs. So-and-S
did with the last $40 poor order /
gave her" l said: L don't know
She bought pair of IS white kid
dancing pumps, 81 pair of white
kid gloves and 50 automobile veil.
Isn't that fierce?' l said: L don't
know. why could not she spend her
poor order as she pleased? l don't
think much of giving people charity
in your own way. You have voted
to send men to congress. don't
see any difference between Oliver
Twist going to Washington and
sticking out his plate and Oliver
Twist going to the poor house and
sticking out his plate. When you
give anybody anything let them do
as they please with it, that is my
theory He said: L think that is
is right, I believe will come and
vote the democratic ticket
~ don't expect the democratic
party is going to turn this world of
ours into an Eden on the 9Th OF next
March. l am not here in the inter-
ests of the democratic national
ticket, l am the tail Of the demo-
cratic kite. II you can send the kite
up without sending his tall up do
/ 1t. l could stay at home and be
elected vice president But am
here interested in Governor Shat
roth. because i want him in the
United States senate. Applause.
l know something about being elect
ed to Office and having no friends
/. That is the way l went in.
This is crucial time. We are
not going to accomplish everything
at once. l am only asking that We
put this tariff wall down so that
you can buy goods as cheaply as
: they are selling them abroad
have letter from a man who was
appointed consul to Montevideo
He came over to Indiana and paid
| $40 to the Singer Sewing Machine
company for sewing machine, and
when he got back to Montevideo,
where he shipped it. he found six
different stores where they were
selling them for $35 each.
Buy Own Goods Cheaper Abroad
"We have man in Indiana who
has been clear round the world. He
came back home and told me that
when he was in Copenhagen. il he
bad been a farmer he would have
brought home a Mccormick reaper,
