Democrats and TruststYrlJteni6 rUE BEE

Mt is the general beliefof the average Democratic voter thntpne of the chief occupations of his party is to camp on the trail oftrusts and to follow after hemufniph yet persuing until theyare exterminated and the places of t1 former habitations sows

with salt The truth or falsity of this idea is to be determined I

aBut before we go into this record nauseating to the olfacto

ries Qf common honesty let us s some of the Democratic disin-

fectant with wInch they seek to iniprerrnate the political atmospliers This preventive prepared Sol lyby Dr Yi I3ryal1thegreat a and If ak3lwJ h s shut l quesLions it Is warranted to keep attacks Prosperityquote from the Democratic platform recently adopted at Kaush-Qity

thotrust evil by the Republican part State and Na-

tloiial platforms Is conclusive proof of truthof the charge thaof that arofos

t RepnlilicaradministrationThus declares the wind of the Democratic party now fof the

more material declaration of that partys recordIn 1888Demecratic leaders in Congress allowed the sugar trust

tile onlY great trust up to that time except the Standard Oiltrust to dictate the schedule of the Mills Bill and this iiiturn brought about tho defeat of the Democratic candidate for-

President that year Was this trust which Jofded a Demcoraticto pay gratuitous pension to the sugar planter fostered

Congresslaws protected by the Republican ad-

ministration jmAgain in the McKinley Bill of 0 is the following law

against trusts ap t

Every contract combination in tho ft m of trusts or otherwise or con ¬

spiracy in restraint of trade as comme among the several States or withforeign nations IS hereby declared to blf illegal

Does this sound like trusts are fostered by Republican lawsMoreover this law imposed a fine of 0000 and two years impris-

onment¬

upon any party or parties violating it or even attemptingto violate it And this law was passed by RepublicanseveryDemocrat in both houses voting against Then with that unmit-

igated¬

gall and studied disregard for the truth known to an aver ¬

age Democrat they say in platform that trusts areMfostered Republican laws and that they are the legitimate-product of Republican policies H In 1894 the Democrats then infull control repealed this antitrust law EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTING

roil THE REPEAT AND EVERY REPOHLICAK AGAINST ITrhQn With thisrecord which would shame anything except the Sphinx aDemTocrat they come before the people declaring in n national platformthat trusts are fostered by Republican laws 6 That trusts are thelegitimate product of Rcp blican lcies J and that said trusts are

r by the Republican ndrniinstratipnPV4fomuchfor the national record of the two jm ties on

record Missouri hasbeen un ¬trusts now us notice the Stateder Democratic control for thirty years Let us notice some of her-

s laws concerning trusts In 1JW4 of the present statutes of

that State is the following lawAny two corporations now existing under general or special laws or

which mnylu reRfter whose object and are generalunite consolidate said corpora-

tions¬of the same nature amalgamate

and form one consolidated and enjoying all therights privilegesr powers franchises andproperty belonging hiandunder such corporate name as they may adopt or upon

Also the statutes of Missouri section 1820 provide that anyconsolidated corporation may issue stock to the amount of 100000000 And the street riliIwnycompnny of St Louis is riot limitedby the law at all LWS were by a DemocraticLegislature anti by a Democratic Governor n Does thislook like trusts urdUthe product of R publicanpoli-desl and fostered T> Republican laws these Missour-itrusts haveiiat beeru protected by Republican administration

And then is Augustus Van Wyck of New York Hemade a speech denouncing trusts tit the Kansas Conventiontnd at that n oment he owned 1100 shares of stock in the Tammanyicetrust and iis hands were not yet cold from the passagethrough them shares worth 487500 which he had just

farmed out What didthijj ice trust do It doubled the cost tothe consumer Md out off the sale of fivecent pieces so that the

iupoor people could get no ice at an Yet dais Shilock Van WyckWho is at the head of this trust along with other Democrats says

in the Kansas City platform We pledge the Democratic partyto an unceasing warfare in Nation city against privatemonopoly in every form This is as if a thief Were to spend

lay in declaring to you that ho was making war on allthieves and then steal fr9m you all night WhileVau Wyck was

in Kansas City waging a wordy war on trusts the poor little dii1-

drenin¬

their tenement hovels in hottest New York were sufferingfor the little ice which Vart Wycks ice trust had cut them oifrom

One more trio and we close It will be remembered by all-

WJip are posted < but of course this does not include many Demo<jrats that the l1St Congress had under consideration a bill to amendthe onstitutiaa of the United States so its to enable the Federalauthorities to deal effectively with the great trust problem Thebill was argued and finally came to a vote Here was the supreme

to become a law And then after ill this that negative set of po-
