COPARCENER OF TRUSTS.

Monopolies Exist Through Favor of the Hepnbllcan Party. Tlie opposition of D. M. Parry, president of the Manufacturers’ association, to the programme of President Roosevelt to control railroad rates through the interstate commerce commission or some other body created by con- . gress Is better understood when it is | known that Parry is president and ! chief stockholder of the Indiana Southern railroad. The probabilities are that the products of the Parry factory have special' rebates and privileges over bis own line of railroad and through combina- ! tlons with other railroads special through rates that give him a great | advantage for the sale of the products I of his factory over his competitors. ' When congress passes a law to con- ■ trof unreasonable rates the Parry monopoly will lie unhorsed. Whenever you scratch the hide of a trust magnate you expose a monopo- 1 list, for all trusts and combines have some monopoly back of them. With many it Is tariff protection, with , others it Is land monopoly, with others it Is special privilege—all obtained through legislation granted by their coparcener, the Republican party.
