Democratic Sentinel, Volume 13, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 September 1889 — One Plain Thing to Do. [ARTICLE]

One Plain Thing to Do.

For the anti-trust party there is one plain thing to do. They should resolve in every convention in favor of the unqualified repeal of the tariff duty upon every article whatever which has been the subject of an unlawful and extortionate trust. Not one of them should be spared; not one of them is entitled to the smallest consideration. In each and every instance the trust is a criminal conspiracy against humanity, contrary to the spirit of the common law, contrary to

the statute in most States, contrary to the public policy of every civilized country, and especially contrary to the w’hole genius of American institutions. Take from the trust the monopoly duty, imposed and maintained for the benefit of the trust by the trust party, and you have taken its life-blood. This is so plain that it needs no argument or insistence, Every man w-ho can count two must understand it, and every citizen who has a drop of free American blood in his veins must burn with indignation when he looks abroad over his country and sees it writhing and suffering in every quarter, under the heels of these greedy monsters. — New York Saturday Globe.
