The free air and free conditions, the hope of reward, aroused a spirit of invention that will be the marvel of ages yet to be. l?y these Inventions we have lu'en enriched beyond the wildest dreams of our fathers. The printing press, the steam engine, electricity, and hundreds of other inventions make lifo in America today more pleasant and comfortable than was ever before enjoyed by human be ings. It is plain deception to claim the greatness of our country to be the creation of any political party. IHiring the early years of our na tional existence, business was tran sacted by individual and then by partnership. If money was borrow ed It was with the expectation of paying the debt. Hut as business grew, the corporation idea came, sev eral persons came together forming the corporation. The Civil War gave this modern idea, a corporation, n great stimulus. It increased the fa cilities for doing business with limit ed ability. With the coming of .cor porations came the influence of mon ey and business ipon congress and legislatures. Early in our history our fathers asked, "is it right?" "Is it best for our country . When busi ness assumed the reins of govern ment, the question asked and ans wer demanded front every legislator, was "will it pay?" "What will be the dividends?" One corporation would want a law practically pro hibiting the importation of steel, an other one glass, another wool and still another would demand an em tire of land to build a railroad. Most of these demands were granted by congress and legislatures. Legisla tive bodies were too, often filled with men who were the special agents of these interests. t T . v. . "u"s me last quarter of a tury we have been unwilling nesses to another growth n our nomic affairs, the trusts, wherp ceil wit oco sev erai corporations in the same line of business come together, either with a gentlemen's agreement, or a hard and fast contract limiting production, controlling prices, and regulating profits. The demands upon legisla tive bodies and the courts by this modern invention, the trust, has in creased, and in almost every instance their demands have been granted. In deed, they have gone farther and have made rules and decrees far more effective than ever monarch of old, regulating the price of those ar ticles which we have to sell and of those articles which we have to buy, until today practically one half of the wealth of the United States, actual valuation of one hundred and thirty billions of dollars Is in the hands of these trusts that absolutely control their respective limes. They have re pealed and established the natural law of supply and demand so far as that law pertains to the articles they handle, until they can and do pay enormous annual dividends upon in flated valuations of their "property. The .steel trust is the most striking example with its billion and a half dollar capitalization earning in nine years a net profit of one billion one hundred million dollars with an or iginal actual investmen of less than seven hundred million. After re building its plants, and acquiring vast quantities of new property, they have gathered and distributed eigh teen per cent during the nine years of their existence. They have charg ed the people of the United .States twenty-eight dollars a ton fur steel rail?, while selling to the people of Canada the identical rail for twenty-one dollars per ton. The labor cost f.f the production of their steel i J1.7S a ton. They have manu factured at a net profit of $11.00 a ton. No wonder they have made eighteen per cent annually. In 1S07 that corporation was strong erough to go to what is generally called a great and brave president Years of Suffering Catarrh and Blood Disease -Doctors Failed to Cure. Mls! M':b-!

Guarantee to us, Mr. President, that we will not be harmed for taking I over the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co,. cur largest competitor with their! property worth two hundred million! We are going to give the stock hold ers thirteen cents on the dollar or twenty-nine millions for their prop erty, not in gold but In stock and bonds," and a great president, a fighting president, declared, "De lighted am I to grant you Immunity for committing this crime and I am thankful you do not deem It best at this time to take over the rest of tho property of the United States." Who ruled in 1907? Oh, if there had only been in the White House then a man of th type of Old Hick try. Seventy years before, Nicholas Diddle told President Jackson that he must not destroy the United States bank, and that he must renew Its charter, and if he did not he, Nichol as Diddle, would financially wreck the country. Old Hickory's reply was, "Uy the eternals, if you have that much power It is too much for any man or group of men. Do your worst." For years the White House was freed from the domination of the money power. J. P. Morgan & Co. received $69. 300,000 as a promotion fee for or ganizing the Steel Trust. Money enough to buy every acre of land, every animal, every mile of railroad, every house, every piece of property in Umatilla county. Yes, Umatilla county, a present to one firm for one promotion. In face of the law which forbid the promotion, $69,100,000, enough to provide 69.000 twenty acre irrigated homesteads in Oregon for settlers free. Twenty-five years ago the sugar trust owned property worth nine mil lions of dollars. During these twenty-five years the sugar trust has paid three hundred millions in dividends and their property today Is worth an other three hundred million. Money not made in honest trade and fair dealing, but by reason of a controlled market, enabling them to raise the price at their will, dropping the price of sugar to break and ruin a com petitor so they might buy his prop erty for ten cents on the dollar, and then raising the price to make the public pay for tho purchase,, mak ing the greatest sugar eating nation on earth pay tribute at every turn. Their methods have nil been Just as crooked and just as dishonest as thoso they employed when they fixed the government scales in New York har bor to steal from this government millions of dollars by false weights. No wonder Havemeyer could wm a hundred millions in twenty years and still a subserviant congress plac es a duty on sugar of nearly two cents a pound. During lilll the International Har vester Co. declared dividends am ounting to fifty-two per cent for the reason that the trust controlled market, compelling the farmers pay four times its actual cost the to for farm machinery. On some branches of the tobacco trust they have exacted more than financial depression, prices or con one hundred per cent annually. To trolled lines are not declining. In help the Southern planter? No. no. 1S73 everything declined In value. So that Duke might be able to squander millions in building a pleas ure gardens at his home in New Jersey, rivalling the ancient hanging gardens of Babylon, for the reason that they controlled the market, could dictate the price to the to bacco grower, and then dictate just as effectively the price to the tobac co user. The Standard Oil. the first great offender, has distributed millions up r.n millions of dollars in dividends and they are worth many more mil lions because they control the mar ket. The beef trust control the price of i'.ojfs, cattle and sheep from the gulf to Cue northern forests, from the Hoekii-H to the Atlantic Coast. Hut now comes the greatest trust of them all. the money trust, controlling the credits of all our large cities, al lowing no man or firm to have a credit unless he is subserviant to the interest. The money trust today says to the man who wants a large credit. "If this money is to be used to promote an enterprise that may compete with any one of the estab lished trusts, then you cannot have It." No independent railway build ing, no independent factories, no in dependent electric jdants. Activity is gone. New enterprises forbidden. -Money in quantities is only loaned on terms of the few men who control. Business must be renewed from the bottom, not the top. Today the or dinary business man is discouraged, the chill Is In the heart, he feels ! the grip that freezes enterprise and j independence. Now the money trust seeks to fas ten inLself permanently upon the country by means of the Aldrlch Currency 1:111. The present trust busting policy of this administration , as well as the past is farclal in the ; extreme Has it given the tobacco , grower any more money? Has it re-J duced the trust dividends? Has it reduced the price to the consumer? ( More drastic measures must be ap- plied if we maintain independent In- , ilustrial life In America. The obi, careful, honest, shrewd business man has given place to the smooth trust agent who takes his ' orders by successive steps from one of the dozen nun who control indutri-' al life in America. The sunken rock that will wreck the ship of Industrial life, unless It be removed, is fixed and regulated price. The products of nature. nod's gifts to man, coal, oil forests, tumbling water, have all been cap italized beyond reason and the pub lic today pays enormous prices for the privilege of using gifts intended for the use of all mankind. The finished products of the in venting genius of Morse. Edison, Boll, have been capitalized over and over again. The actual Investors in most Instances receiving a mere pittance, but the public Is today paying many times what it ought for tho use of telegraph, electricity and hundreds of other conveniences, that, are no BETTER FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN THAN CASTOR OH, SALTS, OR PI 1X5, A3 IT SWEETENS AND CLEANSES THE SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENTLY AND IS FAR MORE PLEASANT TO TAKE. ySYIHJPofFlGS - IS THE IDEAL FAMILY LAXATIVE, AS IT GIVES SATISFACTION TO ALL, IS ALWAYS BENEFICIAL IN ITS EFFECTS AND PERFECTLY SAFE AT ALL TIMES. 7 MS 1 1 1 1 -t i III 11 K ft. m.

J longer luxuries but absolute neces sities. It is true the price of some ar ticles have been reduced by some of the trusts. The Standard Oil once sold its refined product for thirty cents a gallon. t cost them then twenty-five cents a gallon to refine oil. Their net profit was five cents a gallon. The same oil sells today for twelve cents a gallon but the cost of refining is now three cents. Their net profit today is nine cents. The amount we pay for nothing is what hurts. The amount we nay In net profits for articles in controlled lines was never as great as it Is to day. The savings the trust have ef fected by new and better business methods, improved machinery and complete organization have not ben efited the people, but have reverted to the trusts, and not to the con sumer. The cost of living has been steadily increasing for years in all the civilized word, not bcause it costs more to manufacture goods (modern machinery makes the actual cost less) but because trusts nnd combi nations control and fix prices. Hard times are here now for some people and fast approaching for others but differing from all other The same In '91!, but not so now be cause the natural law of supply and demand has been replaced by these modern monarchs of business who control our coal beds, our railroads, our factories, our electricity, in fact centred our land by controlling the lines of transposition. Their factory warehouses are bare. It does not matter how hard times become, h-iw many men are ou of work, or how hard it is to secure money, prices of the necessities of life are not go ing to decline. How like the French revolution, when the aristocracy own ed practically everything, wheat sell ing for $3.00 a bushel in Paris, a wild eyed woman exploded the bomb, rivers of blood flowed In the streets of Paris. We differ from till other people who have ever lived. In that we ha.ve a greater degree of intelligence ani on;; the masses. We have been taught and have enjoyed a standard of liv ing from which we are not going to recede. A millstone has been erected on the road of human progress back of which civilization will never move. We have been taught the uso of the telegraph, electric lights, the railroads, the automobile, and hun dreds of Inventions that we are not tolng to give up. Some solution must jand will be found so we may enjoy ! modern Inventions, necessities and MtiYiirlet sit tiriees we can nfford to pay. More than fifty years ago Lincoln, I he emancipator, said "This govern ment cannot exist half slave nnd half tree. I do not expect this govern ment to pass nw-iy but I do expect it to become all fr e or all slave" Com ing from the firing line of active business, feeling most fully the the effect of keen competition on one hand, fixed and regulated prices on the other, I say to you that the indus trial world cannot long exist with half of its business in the hands of a doz en men who fix and regulate prices upon their commodities according to their own whims and notions and with complete disregard of the law of supply and demand, whilo the other half of the Industrial world Is feeling the sharp triplo edge of the jtilleto of unfair competition. .
