Bryan , speaking on tl "Trusts" at the Kern notification cen monies iu Indihia : ] > olis , began by con paring the Democratic nnd Republican pronounceiuents , and said in part:1 The Sherman anti-trust law was passe eighteen years ago ; it ha.s a crimini clause which provides n penitentiary pui i'thmeiit for those who conspire in r fivnint of trade. I3ver since the cnac ment of the law , V.'ith the exception < four years , the Republican party has coi trolled the executive department of tl government , and during two years of tl four it controlled the House of Repr < sentatives. Instead of Democratic der < liction , the Democratic party has bee urging , year after year , the strict enforci ment of that law. and the Republica party has becis explaining year after yen why it was impossible to enforce it. Tli President has done something toward tli enforcement of- the law , but not ncarl enough , and the Republican Iwulcrs hay thwarted him at every point. The Republican platform says that c : iperience has shown that the citectivene. of the anti-trust law could be strcngtl cued by amendments which will give tli federal government greater supervisio and control over and greater publicity ate to the management of those interstat commerce corporations which have tli power and opportunity to effect nionopf lies. That is ajl. No pointing out o loniodies ; no outlining of a plan for mof effective legislation simply a genem statement that promises nothing in pai ticular. And Mr. Taft's speech of ac ceptnuce is even weaker than the plat form. He gives no evidence of havin studied the question or of comprehendin ; the iniquities of a monopoly. You loo' ' in vain in liiis notification speech for an ; .vfcn of indignation at what the trust have boon doing or for evidence of zeal 5 ; their prosecution , lie ! ; as. for severa yrar-i , been the intimate oilicial coiupanioi of the President , but he has caught noil' ' of the fire which the President manifesto ! in his mesMige of last January. Fiv r.x lts Extermination. Because private monopoly is indefensi Mo and intolerable , the Democratic part ) favors its extermination. It pledges itsei to the vigorous enforcement of the crim iual law against trust magnates and ofii cials. It is impossible for the Republic-ar party to enforce the present criminal la\\ against trust officials ; these officials an intimately connected with the Republican party in the present campaign. Take , fo : instance , the chairman of the speaker's committee. Mr. Dupont of Delaware. He is the defendant in a suit which the gov ernment brought and is now prosecuting. Mr. Dupont is charged with violation of the anti-trust law. Why should he bt put on the executive committee and then bo given control of the speaking part of thr > campaign ? If yon talk to a Ronubl'.cau leader nl.out pi-niti-nti ty run5hmont for offoiul- P--S. ! : > favoi tiling t'i- ' t o'1 M Mtiou o-i tin- ground t'y ; ; it i- ; iinpo.--ibli > too.i - vict indivIfluaN. Kit whrn you urge fines y ri are told that iino < aiv unjust to iu- norent stockholders. We favor both fine and imprisonment , but we think it is bel ter to prevent monopolies than first to authorize them to prey upon the public find then try to punish them for doing so. Mr. Taft favors control of trusts instead of extermination , but after years of ex perience the people have learned that the trusts control the government. Our platform does not stop with the en forcement of the law ; it demands the enactment of such additional legislation is may be necess-iry to make it impossible Tor a private monopoly to exist in the [ 'nited States. The Democratic party 3oes not content itself with a definition Df the wrong or with a denunciation of it. It proceeds to outline remedies The first is a law preventing a duplication of di rectors among competing corporations. Xo MIO can object to this remedy unless he is in sympathy with the trusts , rather : han with the people who are victimized > y the trusts. There is no easier way of : tilling competition than to make one joird of directors serve for a number of Competing corporations. It is not neces sary for corporations to enter into an tgrooment for the restraint of trade if the Corporations can , without violating the 'aw. ' reach the same end by electing the ; ame directors. License System as a lie : Tle } second remedy is one upon which I lesiro to dwell at some length. We be- ieve it to be a simple , complete and easily MI forced remedy. As stated in the plat- ! orm it is : "A license system which will , without ibridgiug the right of each State to cre- ite corporations , or its right to regulate is it will foreign corporations doing busi- less within its limits , make it necessary 'or a manufacturing or trading corpora- lion engaged in interstate commerce to ake out a federal license before it shall le permitted to control as much as 2per : ent of the product in which it deals , the Scense to protect the public from watered took and to prohibit the control by such Corporation of more than . " 50 per cent if the total amount of any product 0011- umed in the United States. " If it is conceded that Congress has the lower to prevent the shipment of goods rom one State to another wheri such lupinent is a part of a conspiracy against rado and commerce , then the only ques- iou is as to the means to be employed to irevent such shipment. The license sys- om presents an easy way of regulating uch corporations as need federal regula- ion. The law can prohibit t'he doing of thing and impose a penalty for the vio- ntion of the law , but experience has hewn that it is very difficult to gather up vidence from all sections of the United Hates and prosecute a great corporation ; o difficult is it that although the Sher- unn anti-trust law has been in force for ighteen years , no trust magnate has been ent to the penitentiary for violating the mv , although in a few cases the court as found corporations guilty of a viola- ion of the law. In * the enforcement of , penalty the ijdvernmcnt must seek the efendant ; by the use of the license sys-j torn the corporation is compelled to see the government. Would Aot Prevent Grovrih. The license , however , would not prove ? the growth of , the corporations license ! It would simply bring them under the e ; , of the federal and - government com-p/ < them to deal with the public in such way as to afford the public the protectio necessary. One of the restrictions siu gested is that such licensed corporation be compelled to sell to all purchasers i all parts of the country on the sam terms , after making due allowance fo cost of transportation. Mr. Taft attack this restriction as "utterly impracticable. He says : "If it can be shown that /i order to drive out competition a corpora tion owning a large part of the plan producing an article is selling in one par of the country , where it has competitor } at a low and unprofitable price , and i another ifart of the country , where it ha none , at an exorbitant price , this is evi deuce that it is attempting an unlawfu monopoly and justifies conviction uude the anti-trust la\\\ ' ' If such an act is now unlawful , why i he so frightened at a plan which give to the small competitor this very protec tion ? The trouble with the present lav is that it does not restrain the evils a which it is aimed. The plan proposed ii the Democratic platform brings the cor poration under the surveillance of th government when it has reached the dan ger. point , and thereafter subjects it t < federal scrutiny. The present law simpl : prohibits it in an indefinite sort of wa : and then leaves the officers of the law t < scour the country and hunt up violation : of the law's provisions. Mr. Taft is un duly alarmed at this proposal , or else hi entirely fails to comprehend the details o the plan. lie says : "To supervise the business of corpora tions in such a way as to fix the price ol commodities and compel the sale at sucl price is as'absurd and socialistic a plan ! as was over inserted in a Democratic po litical platform. " And yet this sentence is found in the same paragraph with the sentence abovi quoted in which ho declares that it it even now a violation of the Sherman antirust - : rust law foi ; a corporation to attempt tc destroy a competitor by selling at a low ind unprofitable price where it has com petition and at an exorbitant price whore t has no competition. In what respect i * our plan , more socialistic than the plan which Mr. Taft indorses ? Merely in the 'act that ours can he enforced. Accord- ng to Mr. Taft's logic , a plan is not socialistic which is not effective , but the same would be socialistic if made effec tive. Taft IIsi.s Xo Ueinetlie.s. The trouble with Secretary Taft is that he spends so much time trying to discover excuses for inaction in trust matters - tors that ho has none left for the con- sidrtrition of effective remedies. He spends iMoro time uttering warnings : * : -ii . r modies proposed than he doi > ji ) pointSu ? out the evils to lie remedied or ni suggesting remedies. lie says : "The combination of : capital in large plants to manufacture goods with the greatest economy is just as necessary as the assembling of the parts of a machine to the economical and more rapid manu facture of what in old times was made by hand. " And he adds that "the government should not interfere with one any more than the other , when such aggregations of capital are legitimate and are properly controlled , for they are the natural re sults of modern enterprise and are bene ficial to the public. " No one proposes to interfere with pro- iluction on a large scale. No one objects to production on a scale sufficiently large to enable the producer to utilize by-pro- ilucts and' take advantage of all the economies that largo production makes possible. It is just here that the trust magnates attempt to confuse the public mind , and Mr. Taft has unconsciously idopted their language. Let the issue bo made plain : lot the dis tinction be accurately drawn : let the re spective positions of the parties be fully understood. The Democratic p.irtj ; docs not oppose all corporations ; on the 00:1- : rary , it recognizes that the corporation : au render an important service to the : mblic. The Democratic party wants to Miiploy every instrumentality that can bo employed for the advancement of the 'ommon good ; but the Democratic party Iraws the line at the private monopoly ind declares that a private monopoly can lot be justified on either economic or po- itical grounds. Sny.s Opponent MisKiiiler.stasuls. Mi\ Taft either misunderstands or mis- epreseuts the Democratic position in i'o- jard to the extermination of the principle ) C private monopoly. In his notification : peech he says : "Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts o conduct their business in a lawful nanner and secure the benefits of their > poration and the maintenance of the > rospority of the country of which they ire an important part , while Mr. Bryan vould extirpate and destroy the entire msiness in order to stamp out the evils vhich they have practiced. " Here is a confession by Mr. Taft that 10 regards the trusts as necessary to the sation's prosperity , for he declares that hey play an important part in the main- enance of prosperity , and he charges that would "extirpate and destroy" business u extirpating and destroying the princi- ile of private monopoly. Surely , his tudy of the trust question lias been very uperficial , if he sees danger in the restor- tion of a reign of competition. The Democratic party is the defender competition and the only great party t'hich is seeking to restore competition. Ir. Taft has , in the discussion of this ucition , employed harsh words instead f argument. The word "socialistic" is urled at the Democratic party and the ) emocratic platform. Now , as a matter f fact , it is Mr. Taft's part/ and not he Democratic party which has given en- ouragement to socialism. While pro- cssing to abhor socialism , the Republi- an party has gone half way toward so- ialism in indorsing its fundamental prin ciple. The socialist basts his conten Ip ; on the theory that competition in bad and that an economic advance 5a to .b found in monopoly. The socialist , hov- ever , wants the public to ha\e the buu efit of the monopoly and. therefore , favor government ownership and operation o all the menus of production and distribu tion. The Republican party has gone al most as far as the Socialist pa/ty in th economic defense of the monopoly , but i permits the benefits of monopoly to bi enjoyed by a comparatively few men. win have secured a dominant influence in tin government. KERN SAYS PEOPLE DOM'T RULE Few 3Teii Who Dominate In Prevent I.o.vrislatioii. Ill accepting the Democratic nomina tion for the Vice Presidency , Join Worth Kern said iu part : I appreciate most highly this groa honor conferred upon me by the unani mous vote of the representatives of HIT party in national convention assembled and I shall strive most earnestly to earr a continuation o ? the confidence and gem will manifested by that action. I did uoi seek th4 nomination : indeed , if my owr personal desires had been consulted , an other would have received the licnor. bul it having come to me without solicitation I pri e. it all the more and accept it witi : a full sense of the burdens and rc ponsl bilities. It is pleasing to me to be associated 111 this campaign with the distinguished gen tleman to whom the standard of the partv has been committed. For years we liavc been friends. I recognize in him a inan of spotlcsf , character and high ideals , al ways actuated by patriotic motives ami an earnest desire to promote the wclfarCj the honor and the glory of 'his country. Bryan Ui i > letljetl to Monopoly. ITo entered upon this 'jampaigu un pledged to any special interests , under no obligations to any unlawful or other com bination of capital , looking to no corpora tion for campaign contributions abso lutely free to servo the people by carry ing out the pledges of his party's plat form. While he is the foe of unlawful monopoly , and is prepared to lay a heavy hand upon the lawless , whether rich or poor , without fear or favor , and to com bat the encroachments of greed upon hon est endeavor , he is the friend of every legitimate business enterprise , whether conducted by individual or corporation , and will sympathize with the promotion 01 every movement which makes for the welfare and prosperity of the country. The Republican nominee for Vice Presi dent in his recent speech of acceptance affected the belief that the question , "Shall the people rule ? " implied a charge of venality against the American elec torate. He affirmed , with great emnha- sis , that under recent Republican admin istration the people have ruled without let or hindrance. x Will any intelligent man claim that there is or has been any substantial diver sity of opinion in this country on the question as to whether the tariff duty on wood pulp used in the manufacture of paper should be reduced or removed ? In this case the tariff tax operated for the benefit of the paper trust alone , allowing that combine to levy millions of tribute i-acll year upon the newspapers or the [ ountry and their readers. Ur-hold the spectacle ! On one side $ ft- , > QO,00 ( ) of free people dem.-.uding legisla tion to right an admitted wrong. On the ather side a few men engaged in public plunder , aided by the dominating power ivithin the Republican party , represented : > y the presiding officer of the once popu lar branch of Congress. And the plun- lerors and these unfaithful public scr- t-ants prevail over the people of this great republic. In this instance did the people ; ule ? Denounces Csninoii'.s ? lnle . Mr. Kern then charged that Congress- nan P.abcock's bill to reduce the tariff on ; teel and iron in 11)02 was killed by the same power exerted by the Speaker. In ho same session the requests of labor A'cre ignored. The question. "Shall the people rule ? " s one which demands the serious 'and arnest consideration of all men who are ntorestod in th'e perpetuation of our in- : titutions. It must be apparent to all vho have followed the course of legisla- ion during the past few years that there a power within the Republican party lotormined that the people shall not rule. L'hat power has manifested itself when- ver effort has been made to check the lestructive work of unlawful combina- ion , reduce the oppressive tariff tax , or nact any legislation looking toward the qualization or lightening of the burdens opting upon the people. That dominant power which now guides .nd directs the Republican party has , on nany occasions , de-lied the President in -uses - where he has. on demand of the nasses. made sporadic efforts in their be- lalf. In some instances he has persuaded his handful of leaders to compromise on heir own terms with the 80,000,000 peo- ile whom he assumed to represent , but in nest cases he has been absolutely powcr- ? ss. ss.Mr. . Kern denounced the Dingley tariff nd favored a tariff sufficient only for the .ceds . of the government. ] Vo War on Cnnitnl. Mr. Kern said the President had vailed gainst "swollen fortunes" as menacing o the public welfare , and while tlr ? Re- ublican platform proposed no cure for lie evil the Democratic platform offered remedy in favoring legislation to Cut off lie streams of money flowing into rhe offers of the trusts. On the other Land , Ir. Kern said : "It has no war to wage on capital. It as no quarrel with corporations honestly tipitalized to carry on a legitimate busi- c s according to law. It will encourage no investment of capital in the develop- icnt of the country and protect it when ivested. "It will draw a sharp line between law- business lawfully conducted and uu- iwful business or business carried on in cliance of law and the rights of the pub- c. protecting the one and protecting so- iety from the other.
