The supreme court of the United
States, ir. the well-known Knight case,
decided in effect that congress has
no power to control manufacture or
production except as they become a
part of interstate commerce. A
monopoly may extend to all the
states of the union and congress is
powerless to prevent it. It may buy
up and control tho product of an
article in all the states; it may send
its products from one state to an-
other, fixing the price of the com -
modity throughout the country, and
yet if u be not monopoly for con
trolling interstate commerce it is not
amenable to congressional legisla
tion. This is no fault of the law or
the law-making power, but the fail
ure of the constitution, as interpreted
by the supreme couit, to clothe con
gress with power to regulate or
control monopolies wheu formed or
operating in the states, except when
carrying on interstate commerce.
Knowing this, as eveiy well-informed
person ought to know it, the
republicans, at the last session of
congress, proposed an amendment
to the constitution giving congress
power "to define, regulate, prohibit
or dissolve trusts, monopolies or
combinations, whether existing in
the form of corporations or other
wise" leaving the several states "to
continue to exercise such power in
any manner not in conflict with the
laws of the United States." The
amendment required a two-thirds
vote and was lost because the demo
crats voted almost solidly against it.
Of course they made a number of
specious and hypocritical apologies
for their action, and Biyanite papers,
like the Times-Mountaineer, have!
added to these from the vasty depths
of Biyanite imagination, but the true
reason why they voted down the
amendment was stated bluntly by
Richardson, the deD ocratic leader of
the lower house, just before the vote
was taken. Head it and say if the
trust issue, like the imperialistic fake,
was not hypocritically manufactured
by the Brynnites for campaign pur
poses. Mr. Richardson said :
"If we pass this constitutional
amendment, the effect will be to do
just what the dominant party desires
to do, and that, is to eliminate the
trust issue from the campaign this;
year. Now arc we going to help to'
elo it? I hope not. I trust evcrv !
democrat who loves constitutional j
law and order, who believes in the
rights of the State will stand with
his party here nnd vote down this
constitutional amendment."
Here is the true reason why the
Bryanites voted down the amend-!
ment. To vote for it and thus carry j
it through the house would have
been ' to eliminate the trust issue '
from the campaign this Jtt," ud
the Bryanites needed the trust issue
as a means of throwing dust in
people's eyes. Should anyone im
agine that this amazing statement is
a campnien forceiv we refer him

Becord, fifty sixth congress
