IT :
William .T. 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 ?

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

government.

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- ,

ivithin the Republican party , represented

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

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. "
