WISDOM OF DOING RIGHT.
(Continued from Pago 13.)
prices. If a trust ever reduces the
price of an article it controls, all the
trust papers tell it over and over and
roll it "as a sweet morsel under the
tongue." If you could get ten trusts
out of 200 to reduce the price of their
products', the papers would bo full of
what the ten trusts had done and have
nothing to say about what the other
190 trusts were doing. When they got
through the list of ten they would
commence and go over it again. I
once had a great deal of faith in Lin
coln's saying that you can fool all of
the people part of the time and part
of the people all of the time, but that
you cannot fool all of the people all
of the time. That is what? he said
and I got encouragement from It un
til some person suggested that it is
not necessary to fool all the people
all of the time; that you can fool some
of them the first year, some the second
and some the third year and that by
the fourth year you can go back and
fool the first one3 over again. So it
is with the trust defenders. After
they have talked about one trust, and
then about another trust, aud then
about the third trust.-athey can go
back and begin again, yrhey tell you
that production on a large scale is
going to make production cheaper. If
we were going to answer from the
low plane of dollars and cents we
might suggost that, when the head of
the concern is so far from the men
who toil that the authority must pass
through several heads of departments,
there will be so much leakage at each
joint that it will cease to be an eco
nomic advantage to produce on that
scale. But let us say, rather, that
no amount of economy that a private
monopoly can bring, even if It brings
it to the people and not to the men
who own the stock" -that no amount of
economy can compensate for the evil
done by a private monopoly. Sup
pose you tell me that I can live cheap
er with 1,000 people in a hotel, will
that make me sell my home and take
my family to a hotel? No; I tell you
that I would not give up the blessings
of home life fb' all the economy hotel
life could promise. I believe In the
family; I believe in Its sacred asso
ciations and I would not be willing
to barter the borne life of this na
tion for any e"onomy that might be
shown to result from any other kind
of living; and po no economy that a
private monopoly can promise will
compensate for the destruction of in
dividual independence, of the citizen's
right to think as he pleases, to act as
he pleases and to be his own master.
We cannot long have a government
of the people, by the people and for
the people when we have the great
mass of the people merely the agents
and .employes of a few men at the top.
We cannot long maintain a republican
form of government when the masses
have nothing to look to but continu
ous toil and dependence, while those
at the head of the monopolies trans
mit untold wealth from generation
to generation. I object, therefore, to
the trusts because' there can be no
good, private monopolies and no mat
ter how benevolent some trust mag
nates may be, I believe it is not sale
to establish an industrial despotism
that leaves the American people at
the mercy of trust magnates, how
ever kindly disposed the trust mag
nates may bej If we are going to
fight this battle we must challenge
the republican party to meet the
moral issues involved, and if I can
suggest, without being called a dic
tator, I will add that if we are going
to destroy the trusts we must han
dle tliem without gloves and charge
them with the same violation of moral
law that we charge against the high
wayman who stops you at night and
demands your money or -"your life. The
man at the head of a coal trust who,
when the people are shivering by a
tireless hearth, attempts to extort
from them under threat of withhold
ing from them the fuel that they
need, is domanding the money or llfo
of his victims. The men who control
the food of the country, the food that
people must have when they are hun
gry, the men who extort from tho
people because they havo llir power
to do, demand money or lifo from tho
victims of tho monopoly. It is time
for the democrats to challenge tho
republican party on tho moral issues
involved. Instead of ciawllug on the
ground and trying to got campaign
funds from these men whom wo ought
to fight, let us see to it that tho demo
cratic party refuses to receive a sin
gle dollar of trust blood-monoy with
which to carry on Its campaign.
There aro some who say that the
money question is dead and that we
ought to drop it. Well, I have heard
that so often that it dons not bother
me like it used to. You know a per
son can become po accustomed to oven,
sad things that they cease to woriy.
They say that soldiers in tho midst of
carnage become so accustomed to the
sight of bloodshed that those who at
first would have been shocked at tho
sight of such 'suffering at last become
hardened to it
In 1892 my opponont for congress
said we would never hear "of the mon
ey question after the election, but It
was up again in 1894 and they burled
it again and nearly buried the demo
cratic party with it, and yet the party
was in the control of these 3ame re
organizers who promise to lead us to
victory now when they lead us to
overvhelming defeat beioro their sins
were fully discovered. In 1895, in
1896, in 1897, in 1898, In 1899, In 19U0,
In 1901, in 1902, and in 1903 they said
that they buried it, but tho funeral
is still In progress. I have some
times thought that if the men who say
the money question is dead really be
lieved it they would not watch tho
corpse so carefully as '.hey do.
"Let me show you that the money
question is not dead. I will give you
proof of it that ought to satisfy any
reasonable man Ask a reorganlzer
one who says that the money question
is dead ask him to name ten candi
dates for the presidency "who are in
his opinion eligible and then look over
the list and you will find some high
tariff men, borne low tariff men, some
imperialists and some opposing it,
some on one eide and some on the
other side of other questions, but they
will all bo gold men and will look to
Wall street for their inspiration. Isn't
it strange, If the money question is
really dead, that they make it a test
when they come to select a candi
date for the presidency? Not only
that, but let me give you anothej: fact.
They say that you must not mention
it in your platform; that it is dead.
If they really believed it dead they
would not caro whether you men
tioned it in tho platform or not. We
want to know what a man thinks
about those things in dealing with
which his action will have some force
and yet these men who say that the
money question is dead are the- men
who would vote tho republican ticket
and risk the rule of the trusts and
tho turning of our republic into an
empire because they fear an issue that
they said is dead. Is that reasonable?
No; and as long as there is enough
life in tko money question to frighten
the reorganizes there is enough to
give hope to tho friends of bimetal
lism. Let me give you an explana
tion of it. It is not, because tho ques
tion of silver is as important as it
was eight years ago. If anybody says
this is a change of opinion, let me
ask him to read the Kansas City plat
form adopted nearly four years ago
and he will find that in that platform
it was expressly declared that the
money question was not the para
mount issue, and wo havo not insisted
for the last four years that It was the
