Mr. .Bryan's speech on the trust question failed to convince as it might 'have done, for many reasons. The firstr-reason is that he ignored the tre mendous services of Theodore Roose jvelt in the past seven years as incon sequential, the second reason, because he failed to show (and he could not possibly show) that the republican party is under the leadership of the bourtson reactionaries in the republi can party, and the third reason that come of his proposed remedies are ilmposslble under the constitution of I the United States. But laying all this .idc, the com plete failure of Mr. Hryan to prove that he. if elected could accomplish as much, at least as Mr. Roosevelt has done or as much as Mr. Taft can do. renders the entire speech utterly with out value. That is the reason for Bryan's failure and it is the great issuf before the American public. "The president has done something toward the enforcement of law but not nearly enough and the republican leaders have thwarted him at every point." Thus spoke Bryan. The president as every American voter knows has not only done "something" he has done more than any other president has ever done in the enforcement of law. Why does Bryan willfully distort the facts? Why does he brush aside the gyat fight which has been waged in open view ef the public? Mr. Bryan would have done well to applaud and do justice to the first and hardest blows ever struck against the abuse of the corporation. He willfully disregards the Inactivity of Mr. Cleveland's two terms In which the trusts were not called to account for disobeying the law. He did not. Why? Because he feared to give justice to the magnifics&t law enforcing, square deal of

President Roosevelt. If be did recognize it his case would fall flat. If the republican party were, as Mr. Bryan nays, in favor of tlie abuses which have been practiced by the corporations and the party were under the leadership of reactionaries and the Bourtson interests, it would certainly not have nominated Mr. Taft who has the same views as Mr. Roosevelt. If the republican party had nominated a man wlio did represent a policy of favoritism to the trusts. Mr. Bryan would have just grounds as every American citizen would have in attacking the republican party. Mr. Taft is not a reactionary, nor is be in favor of the abuses of corporations so that Mr. Bryan's insinuation falls to earth as a falsehood. No one can read the reiterations of Mr. Taft without feeling his evident sincerity and high purpose on the trust abuses. Mr. Bryan has failed aga'n in his campaign of misrepresentation and fa Is:.logic. The remedies which Mr. Bryan proposes are as follows: 1. He demands legislation which shall make the private monopoly inpossible, by the passing of a law which shall make the duplication of directors in two corporations illegal. -. He demands a federal license for all corporations doing per cent of the business in its Hue. which shall not do away with the "right of the state to create v.nd coi:t;ol corporations." To deny the use of the mails, tt.e railroads and the te!c:Tph to corporations which are privr.ta monopolies. 4. To enforce the corporation to sell at a given and equal price in all parts of the union, the allowance bring made for the co.st of transportation.

The faint with Mr. Bryan's.rcaiodlc; is that he beat:; abort the bush. Alrcady by the statute any combination for the restraint of trade is illegal and punishable: why are these remedies proposed which tries to kill them by a policy of attacking them a little here and a little there? We have sufficient legislation already-the nccl is not for more laws, but for more enforcement. The difficulty has not teen in the law. but in the actual proof of guilt before the court. But the very remedies which Mr. Bryan proposes will not beur close in spection. He rays that: "It i:; net necessary for corporations to enter Into aa agreement for the restraint of trade if the corporations can without violating the law, reach the same en 1 by electing the sane directors." He fails to distinguish the point that an agreement is made by these same directors (if they enter into restraint of trade.) just as much as if they were seuarste bocrds. They are separate in the eyes of the law already hence no law is needed to avoid duplication of boards. There is no reason for not believing that a law would be unconstitutional anyway whicn would forbid a man from belonging to two boards of directors. It would alienate the right of a man of affairs to have a voice in the conduct of his own busi ness Anj- abridgement of this right' would be dangerous even if it were not ' unconstitutional. The second remedy of federal license with state control of corporations i: absurd on the face of it, for he st-ne and federal laws would come into con- I ....... I i net at every turn. n tne corpora tions are to be licensed by the federal government they must bo controlled and regulated by the federal govern ment, else the mere fact of license and the watchful eye of the government" can be of little avail. The third proposal of Mr. Bryan to deny the right of the mails, telegraph and railroads to private monopolies is unnecessarj- we have j.lrca.dy a law which makes restraint of trade illegal. What more can any on.e want. The difficulty will remain the same; the proving of a conspiracy to restrain trade. What is the benefit in the change of wording? , . But the fourth proposal of Mr. Bry - on tr .rrv,ntl 11,. . : . . . 1 , i iuiuiici me wiiiuiaiion 10 sell at a given price in all parts of the United States fails utterlj-. It is attractive to the eye but the Constitution of the United States in no article gives the power to congress to regulate prices. This would be necessary to enforce equal prices. Congressional and federal control of prices would be manifestly impracticable and more than that amount praeticallj- to federal absorption of business. We have, therefore, shown that we

have (on Mr. Roosevelt's own state-j eastern train, loaded with exeuxsionment) sufficient legislation already-, thejists from a summer resort, were ditch-

difficulty being only to prove the offence of the corporation. Remedies are unnecessary therefore but we have also pointed out the bad logic and unconstitutionality of Mr. Brj--an's views. There are loose ends throughout the whole of the speech. But Mr. Brjan disregards the fact that the courts of the land are still in existence and that all the battles must be fought out there. The people have seen seven splendid -ears of fighting against a common enemy trust abuses. The people were behind Mr. Roosevelt and applauded and upheld his every effort.

His policies are the heritage of the Republican party and Mr. Bryan cannot take them away much as he would like to. The people who had confidence in Mr. Roosevelt have confidence in Mr. Taft, not only because of his selection by Roosevelt, but because they have seen his impartiality and his sane and fearless treatment of Important questions. Any attempt by Mr. Bryan to throw contempt on Roosevelt or Mr. Taft must fail. The people want law enforcement not theories. Bryan has advanced many theories. The Republican party has given results. Therefore, the issue is not one of theories but the question: "Shall or shall not the policies of Theodore Roosevelt b carried out without fear, favor or prejudice, by his logical successor, William Howard Taft?" That is the question. Bryan has made no attempt to answer it by showing that th' Democratic party under his leadership, in event of his election could do as well or a'tain the same raatical results. He cannot enswer it the l eople must answer it at the polls.

The hour wa not late, but the blizzard had driven the crowds from the streets. Eighth avenue sidewalks were deserted exvept for the people who tv ere obliged to brave the storm. As Droom hurried south to bis lodgings he lecnn:e possessed of a raeklug belief that some me was following close upoa his heels some one who was rushing up to deal him a murderous blow m tne back. The old man actually broke into a frantic ruu in covering the last half block. It was not until be was in his rooms, with the door bolted, that he could rid himself of the dread. The fire had t:.;-.. out. and the light was low. His j teeth chattered and bis hand shook as i hp raised the wick in the lamp. The palsy of inexplicable fear was upoa him. Kneeling before the stove, he began to rebuild the fire. Ills back was toward the door, and he turned aa anxious face in that direction from time to time. Footsteps on the stairway sent a chill through hU gaunt frame. They passed on up the next ! flight, but he waited breathlessly until ! be heard the door of the apartment ! above slam noisily. j For half an hour he sat huddled In I front of the stove without removing his hat aud ulster. "Curse the luck.'" he was saying over and over again to himself, sometimes aloud. "Why should he have a pardon? What are the laws for? Curse that meddling old fool Clegs! Thej-'ll set him free, and he'll hunt me out; I j know he will. He won't forgive me ! for that day's work. He may be free j now. It may have been he who foli lowed me. But, no!
