Bryan Knows It's Bosh. fresldeut Roosevelt hiis sai; on the bead when be points out that Bry n'e preteuded remedies tvr corpora tion evils are chimerical. Courtesy :profcably prevented the president from adding that the alleged remedies are so chimerical. Impracticable ' and ut terly at variance not only wltb Che constitution of the United States. lut with the rights of property every where throughout civilisation, as to suggest Insincerity on the part of tho person submitting ncfh flimsy absurd Ules. We have before pointed out thst Bryan's plan of preventing any cor poration from doing more than SO per cent of the total boslness In any par ticular line would Invalidate the pat ent and trademark laws of the United States and rob nch and every In ventor of halt the Income to which he Is entitled.
