Dishonest Corporations Must Be Crushed Out of Existence.

By PETER. A. HENDRICK.

Supreme Court Judge of New York.

H DANGER that is more potent than the rebellion has crept into this country and taken possession of the government. The battle is BETWEEN THE CORPORATIONS AND THE PEOPLE, and when I speak of corporations I only speak of those corporations which dishonestly, for the accumulation of money, have strangled competition, have crushed out individual effort without regard to means. V R « ALL THOSE CORPORATIONS WHICH HAVE NOT HESITATED TO VIOLATE THE LAW TO MAKE MONEY, SOME OF WHICH ARE NOW BEING PUNISHED BY THE COURTS OF THIS COUNTRY, AND THE GREAT NUMBER OF OTHERS UPON WHICH THE HANDS OF JUSTICE HAVE NOT YET FALLEN WILL BE AND MUST BE CURBED AND, IF NECESSARY, CRUSHED OUT OF EXISTENCE IN ORDER THAT A GOVERNMENTAL' LAW WHICH SHALL GIVE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO ALL MAY SUCCEED THE GOVERNMENT OF LAWLESSNESS WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN CARRYING ON DURING RECENT YEARS.
