The Will or tli IVupln
Noufolk Oct 10 It is all bosh for
tho democratic parry to lay the growth
of trusts and monopolies at tho door of
tho republicans Tho growth of trusts
aud monopolies is rather a condition
brought about by the growth and quick
settlement of tho great American do
main Every intelligent voter let him
be republican or democrat appreciates
the fact that monopolies or trusts di
rected against the interest of tho masses
are injurious to the welfare of republi
can institutions The underlying foun
dation of monopolies aud Jthe cause of
their existence are the railroads and as
lone as they nro permitted to extend
special favors to the few and not to all
just so long will tho interests of a few
le furthered agiinst the ninsses Many
instnnces mny be cited On every baud
wo find those favors but the question
arises is the country today in a condi
tion to turn the railroads over to the
national governmentand run them upon
absolute nbBtract principles and the
thinker and reasoner must come to the
conclusion thnt wo nro not yet ready
for that While we in a gi eat measure
enjoy great nntionnl prosperity yet
many sections in our national domain
remain yet undeveloped Private capi
tal is needed for development nnd
everything thnt is great and good and
beneficial to tho development of man
kind has its origiu from selfish motives
and those opportunities ought not to be
abolished yet that in timo should be
forbidden
I have ample confidence in American
patriotism and American manhood thnt
when tho time is ripe to subdue trusts
that American voters will be nble to
handle that questiou satisfactorily and
when thattime comes I would rather
look to such men as our president Wm
McKinley than to the theorist Bryan I
would rather look to the great intrepid
Americau Roosevelt than to Boss
Croker I will rather look to the sea
soned men from the northern states than
the emotional aud hot heads from
southern climes At all times with
the ballots in their hands tho Americau
freemen have nothing to fear from the
future It was only a short time ago
when the American voter made up his
mind that the Louisiana lottery was a
nuisance and had to go and it went
Refused the benefits of mail and express
it was doomed There is uothiug
greater in tho country thau the will of
tho people M
