formulate federal tartrfs, arrange sched

"Th.o hiv. aunnortad those other In

"Today they open their eyes to what?;

"An that la not all. They find to

ture or sale, and take their business
completely away from them.
'They awake to find that the nations

i at rellnw.
"Henca they will pupport Bryan he-
, cause, they believe' that he l ror tnetn
against further trust aggression. And
, their votes' are numerous, too.
Two Business Classes.
t talked with n A. Brim, a manu
facturer of Elkhart, Ind.. who likewise
iaeee the point. He said: I
i' "There are two classes of business
men today privileged and competitive.
.The former are entrenched behind too
Uilgh tariffs, paten sight-, franchises !
;and ownership of natural resources.
. Their success depends, not on quality of
service rendered, while the other class
depend on quality of service, and .they
must meet competition.
"I am of that competitive class, and
must depend for raw material on my
buaineHs enemy the non-competlUve
. business man.
"These business men of my sort this
year see through the sophistry of poll?
loal alliance with concerns mat operate
under advantages of special legislation
and executive privilege or one Kind and
another."
I have quoted these two men from
mnnv who have been interviewed be
: cause their statements resemble each
other very closely, and that very re
. semblance is the essence of this letter.
In other words, these men have ex
changed views, have passed them on to
other men of like occupation, and to my
personal knowledge a sort of "under
' ground railroad" has been operated
along that line dt hundreds of the busi
ness men who are especially treated in
this discussion,
The Comma aa.
i "We see the point," is the consensus,
land the nolnt is that the industrial de
velopment has made seaure the trusts
and precarious the business man who, as
stated, must buy In a market arbitrarily
controlled''nd sell In competition.
This aoDlles eauallv to small ahOD or
storekeepers. These men I have talked I
with In Washington, new York, A;hi-
whll it la confidently believed that 200.

This take 100,000 from one side and
give It to the other, making a gain of
400.000 net '
