REMEDIES FOR TRUST EVILS.
{Continued from First Page)!
Q00 men advancing their views
through one. Now, suppose that
a new industrial organization pro
duces results of greater moment
to 70.000,000 of people, cheapens
the cost of some article of neces
sity; and suppose it did throw
30,000 out of employment, would
you hold back the general welfare
of the community to suit
that particular 30.000? If we do
it for 30^000, we ought to do it for
15,000; if we do it for 15,000.
why shouldn't we for 1.000? If
we do.it for 1,000, why should we
not do it for one ?
DEFENDS TRADE UNIONS.
"I was greatly impressed today
oy the statement of Mr. Uompers,
recognizing the fact that the move
ment of industry has steadily
been toward a higher rate of
wages. It is very agreeable to
me, ladies and gentlemen, to concur
in that statement, and to say
as one of the most hopeful signs
of our future prosperity that the
movement of wages is upward,
and must be upward, because
there are two forces working in
that direction.
"But here we come to the ques
tion of the trade uuions and their
effect upon trade iudustry. Labor
unions do not affect the rate of
wages much at all. And yet they
are ot enormous benefit to the
whole body of the community,
qaito as much to the employers
as the laborers, and it is to their
protection and in their develop
ment that we must hope and find
that industry of peace which
means great industrial prosperity
to which this republic is destined,
I believe, to affect ?ii? inHnotrioi
cost and conditions of the world.
"If you will consider the law
governing wages you will find
that the one thing which affects
the rate in laborer's wages is the
volume of his product, and no
agreement between him and his
employer can enable the employer
to pay more for the value
of his product. You will see in
this sense that it is impossible to
maintain for a moment the idea
so generally felt that wages are a
species of alms that good em
ployers pay high wages and bad
employers poor wages.
"I believe a close study and
cheerful examination will satisfy
everybody of this fact, that the
gnat strikes of this country have
arisen from the refusal of the em :
ployers to discuss the question at i
? issue between them and their em (
ployetfs, with the agents that the 1
employees select. (Great applause.

alter a personal response to the
applause that greet his appearance,
"because within t vo years
more trusts have been organized,
when we come to consider the
capitalization and the magnitude!
of the interests involved, than j
were organized in all the previous
history of the country, and the
people now come face to face
with this question: Is the trust

*kI want to start with the decla
rUion t hat-monopoly in private
hands is indefensible from any
standpoint and intolerable. (Ap
planse). I make no exceptions'
to the rule I do not divide mo
no^polies in private hands into
good monopolies and bad monop
olies. (Applause) There is 110
good monopoly in private hands.
There can be no good monopoly
in private hands until the Almighty
sends us angels to preside
over us.
'There may tie a despot who is
better than another despot, hut
there is no good depot ism. One
trust may be less harmless than
another. One trust may be more
benevolent than another, but
there is no good monopoly in
piivute hands, and 1 d<? not he
lieve it is sate for society to
permit any man or group of men
to monopolize any article of mer
chandise or any branch of business.
What is the defence made
by the monopoly ? The defence
of the monopoly is always placed
on the ground that if you will
allow people to control the mar
ket and tix the price they will be
good to the people who purchase
of them."
iYir. Aryan, while denying that
monopoly does reduce prices, protested
against "settling every
question on the dollar argument."
He quoted Lincoln's warning
against putting capital higher
than labor in the structure ot the
government. lie said he used
the word trust in the Bense ot
monopoly and quoted from Chas.
11. Flint, the New York millionaire,
the advantages of trusts. Mr.
Flint had explained how com
bination first enabled manufacturers
to get raw materials cheaper
because they were the sole customers
of the producers. Second,
combination decreased mining expenses
by using one central management
in place of numerous
managements. Finally, it gives
security against strikes by being

where while elsewhere other mills
continued at work. The commercial
traveler can be dispensed
with, as everybody will have to

lor its line of products.
Mr. Bryan admitted that there!
had been bo far no complete monoply,
so we'cmiid judge of such
a thing only by the nearest ap
proach to it. llo told the story of
Luc farmer who had to put rings j
in the. nor.es of his hogs to pro j
vent their rooting up the turf and (
no destroying more than they
were worth. A n.d then the
thought came to turn that "one of
the ere tt purposes of government
was to put rings to the noses of
hogs." lie added :

themselves sod themselves from
othors in hours of temptation.
And so I believe we must recognize
selfishness, and we must so
make our laws that people shall
not be permitted to trespass upon
rights of others in their efforts to
secure advantages for themselves."
Hero Mr. Bryan declared that
the rising value of the American
dollar had much to do with the
development of these monopolies ;
also the tariff But he didn't believe
that free trade would cure
us of the trust evil, though it
might deereasertrust extortion.
TUB DRYAN KKMKDY.
"I believe we ought to have
remedies in both state and nation,
and that they should b? con
current remedies. In the first
place, every state has, or should
have, the right to create any private
corporation which in the .
? I
justice ot lhe people of the state ^
i* couducive to the welfare of the f
people of that state. I believe we x
can saf> ly entrust, to the people i
of a state the settlement of a 1
question which concerns them. If
they creat0 a corporation and it ,
becomes destructive of their best
interests, they can destroy, that
corporation, aud we can safely <
trust them both to create and to j
annihilate if condition make an <
nihilation necessary.
"In the second place, the state i
has, or should have, the right to
pronioiT any loreign corporation J
from doing business in the state,
and it ought to have, or has the '
right to impose such restrictions
and imitations as the people of
the state may think neccessary r
lor foreign corporations doing .
business in the state. In other 1
words, the people of the state not *
only should have a right to create
the corporations they waut, but (
the should be permitted to pro 1
tect themselves against any out i
side corporation. But I do not <
think this is sufficient. 1 believe, j
in addition to a state remedy,
there must be a federal remedy, j

should have, the power to place j
restrictions and limitations, even
to the point of prohibition, as may \
to Congress seem necessary, for 1
ihe protection of the public good. (
"Congress ought to pass such a *
law. If it is unconstitutional, i
and so declared by the Supreme i
Court, 1 am in favor of an amend t
ment to the Constitution that will ,
give Congress power to destroy <
every trust in the country. (Ap (
plause.) (
"The first condition which I
suggested was that no water
should he allowed in the stock. 1 1
don't agree with those who say it '
is a matter entirely immaterial '
whether a corporation has water 1
in its stock or not. It is true that
in the long run, if you are able to (
run as long as the run is, you cau j
squeeze the wat* r out of the c
stock, but duri ng all that time the v
harm goes on ; during all that f
time the trust demands the right (
to collect dividends upon capital
represented by no money whatever.

providing that no corporation or- (

which it is organized until it receives
