important to punish the trusts thar

If our Democratic friends By
adopting the amendment in accord

would assist in this, they would ac
complish greater good than by mere
ly reducing the tariff" he says.
The Democrats are going at The

however, of hating reforms thar 10
try and treat all symptoms az the

wark of monopelies is leyeled, there
is little hope Of achieving much in
the way of trimming the trusts. The
high tariff offers the strongest en-

Senator Kenyon wants to see one o.
two Of the big trust men put in jail
because he thinks that an object les
son of this sort will have a greater
effect on the trust eyfl than any
thing else, and would bring the trusts
to a more wholesome respect for tht
law. We think he is undoubtedly
right in this, and we have small
doubt that If he will possess his sou
in patience and walt. he will be graf

Republicans will but realize that thu
prosperity and good of the Who'll

In the discussion OF the diffcnl
ties Of getting juries and judges t
act against the powerful trusts, Sen

his experience that great business 81
