mei.: of the equal right of capital and

The i<aMHig«s refericg to tbe curbing
at the trusts read as follows
In my message to the present Congress
at its Srst session 1 discussed at leugth
the quesiiflsi of tbe reputation of those
big l corporations commonly doing an in
state business often with some ten
dency to monopoly, which are popular
ly known as trusts The experience of
th< }«ast year has emphasized, in my
cntiuion. the desirability of the atejls
then l* j-«ed A fundamental requisite
of social tffimnry is a hi«h standtrd of
individual energy and excellence; but
this is in no aiae inconsistent with
power to act iu combination for aim?*
whieii eannot so well be by tbe
in'li% idui-l a.tim: alone A fundament
al bttse of en ilieation is the inviolability
ot property, but this is m no wise in
consistent with the right of society to
rumiite tbe < xercuw of tbe artificial
pow ei t which it confers upon the
owners of ptuperly. under the name of
ivrtMirate franchises, in such a way as
to prevent the misuse of these powers.
Corporations, and especially combina
tions of corjsirations, should 1* mating
<d under pu bhc regulat ion Experient*
ha- shown that under our svstem of
government the necessary supervision
cannot be obtained by State action. It
must therefore be achieved by National
action. Out aim is not to do away
with corporations; on the contrary,
thwe big aggregations are an inevitable
development of the modern industrialism
and tbf tffort to destroy them wofuld be
futile unless accomplished in ways that
won.ld work the utmost mischief to the
entire liodv politic. We can do nothing
of good in' the way of regulating and
•□{K-rvimng these corporations until we
fix dearly in onr minds that we are not
attacking the corporations, but endeavor
ing to do awav with any evil in them
We are not hostile to them: we are
merely determined that they shall be -o
handled as to subserve the public good
We draw the line against misconduct,
not against wealth The capitalist wlo
alone or in conjunction with his fellows
performa some great industrial feat by
which he wins money is a well-doer, not
a wrong-doer, provided only he work*
in proper and legitimate lines. \S e
wi-n to favor such a man when he does
well We wish to supervise his actions
•nlv to prevent him from doing ill
Publicity can do no harm to the honest
corporation; and we need not be over
tender about sparing the dishonest cor
poration.
In curbing and regulating the combi
nations of capital which are or may bo
come injurious to the public we m ust
U- ireful not to stop the great enter
prise*. which have legitimated reduced
the cost of production, not to abandon
the place which our country ha* won in
the leadership of the international in
dustrial world, not to strike down
wealth with the result of rlosing fac
lories and mines, of turning the wage
worket idle in the streets and leaving
the farmer without a market for what
he grow*. Insistence upon the itnpos
sible means delay in achieving the pos
sible, exactly as. on the ether hand, the
stubborn defense alike of what is good
and what is bad in the existing system,
the resolute effort to obstruct any at
tempt at betterment, betrays blindness
to the historic truth that wise evolution
is the sure safeguard against revolution
No more important subject can come
before the Oonfress than this of the reg
ulation of interstate business This
country cannot afford to sit supine on
the plea that under our peculiar system
of government we are helpless in the
presence of the new conditions, and un
able to grapple with them or to cut out
whateverof evil has arisen ill connec
tion with them. The power of the Con
gress to regulate interstate commerce is
an absolute and unqualified grant, and
without limitations other than those
prescribed by the Constitution. The
Congress has constitutional authority
to make all laws necessary and proper
for executing this power, and I am sat
isfied that this power has not been ex
haosted by any legislation now on the
-tatute books It is evident, therefore,
that evils restrictive of commercial free
dom and entailing restraint upon Na
tional commerce fall within the regula
tive power of the Congress, and that a
wise and reasonable law would be a
ueo**ary and proper exercise of Con
gressional authority to the end that
such evils should be eradicated.
1 believe that monopolies, unjust dis
criminations. which prevent or cripple
competition, fraudulent overcapitaliza
tion. and other evil* in trust organiza
tions and practices j which injuriously
affect interstate trade can be prevented
under the power of the Congress to
• regulate commerce with foreign na
tions an i among the several States
through regulations and requirements
operating directly upon such commerce,
the instrumentalities thereof, and those
euifaged therein.
1 earnestly recommend this subject to
the consideration of the Congress with
H view to the passage of a law reasona
ble in its provisions and effective in its
operations, upon which the questio&s
can 1* finally adjudicated that now
raise doubt as to the necessity of con
stitutional amendment. If it proves
impossible to accomplish the pnrposees
above set fourth by such a law. then,
assuredly, we should not shrink from
amending tbe Constitution BO as to se
enre beyond preadventure the power
sought.
The Congress has not heretofore made
any appropriation for the better en
forcement of the anti trust law as it
now stands Very mnch has been done
by the Department of Justice in secur
ing the enforcement of this law, but
much more could be done if Congress
would make a special -appropriation for
this purpose, to be expended nnder the
direction of the Attorney (ieneral.
One proposition advocated has been
the reduction of the tariff as a means of
reaching the evils of the trusts which
fall within the cataaory I have descrile
ed. Xot merely would this be whollv
ineffective, but the diversion of our ef
forts in such a direction would mean
the abandonment of all intelligent at -
tempt to do away with these evils.
Many of the largest corporations, many
of those which certainly should be in
cluded in any proper scheme of regula
tion. would not be affected in the slight
eat degree by a change in the taritT.save
as such change interfered with the gen
eral prosperity of the country. The
only relation of the tariff to big corpor
ations as a whole is that the tariff
makes manufactures profitable, and
the tariff remedy proposed would be iu
effect simply to make manufactures un
i»r finable To remove the tariff as a
punitive measure directed against
trusts would inevitably result in ruin to
th», weaker comjietitors who are struir
gling against them Our aim should
lie not by unwise tariff changes to give
foreign products, the advantage over
domestic products but by proper regula
lion to give domesticcompetition a fair
chance: and this end cannot be reached
bv any tariff changes which would af
fect unfavorably all domestic competi
tors, good and l<ad alike. The question
•f regulation of tbe trusts stands apart
from the question of tariff revision.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Rep. J. K. P. Hall of the '2* th Penn
sylvania district sent bis resignation to
the Speaker of the House last week, for
the reason that he has been elected a
member of the Pennsylvania Senate.
He will be the fourth member of his
family who has represented Elk county
in the State Senate.
Representative Hepburn of lowa has
nn ingenious plan to solve the trust
problem which he may bring before
Congress. He proposes as a remedy for
the evil that a prohibitive tax be placed
on the watered stock of corporations,
this tax to be levied and collected by the
machinery provided for the collection
of the internal revenues of the Govern
ment. This plan, he says, would an
nihilate that class of combinations
formed, not for the legitimate purpose
of trade or commerce, but for the sole
purpose of making money out of stock
values.
"And this is exactly the form of trust
that causes all the trouble," declared
Colonel Hepburn in discussing the sub
ject. "When you take away the
opportunity of the professional pro
moter of getting rich simply through
the organization of a trust, and the is
suance of enormous quantities of stock
based on nothing but visionary dividend
earning capacity of the proposed enter
prise you will at once put an effectual
end to such organizations.
"In my opinion a prohibitive tax on
t'ae stock of every corporation which is
not representative of substantial value
would wipe such corporations out of ex
istence and when that was done com
binations would be made only for the
legitimate trade advantage which it is
believed can be secured. Combinations
of the latter class, in my opinion, are
not harmful.
"As an example, take Mr. Morgan s
steamship mercer. What motive did
Mr. Morgan have in engineering this
gigantic scheme through if it were not
for the great profit he could derive, not
through the legitimate business of ship
ping, but through the issuance of stock
based on the combination t If the mat
ter were analyzed it would be found
that Mr Morgan is not posted or even
interested ia the conditions governing
the actual business of the navigation of
the Atlantic ocean. He. as a profession
al promoter, sees a chance to make a
great combination on which a fabulous
amount of stock can be issued and sold,
and through which incidentally Mr.
Morgan will reap an enormous profit.
"How would you put your idea into
operation?
"Simply give the collectors of internal
revenue authority to fix a yalue on the
stock of corporations the same as they
place a value on liquor and cigars.
Have the tax on the stock which did
not represent actual yalue subject to a
need tax. This fixed tax in every in
stance to be sufficiently high to make
the existence of each stock impossible."
The whole Pennsylvania Congression
al delegation were at Senator Penrose's
dinner, Tuesday evening, and indorsed
John Dalzell for Speaker, but he with
drew in favor of Mr. Cannon of Illinois;
after which the delegation indorsed
Cannon for Speaker, and Alex McDow

The New York delegation, also, in
dorsed Cannon that day, and his elec*

MARSH ROOT
No better combination, as we prepare
it, could be formulated to act more spe
cifically upon the Kidneys and Liver
than Marsh Root. As a Liver Invigor
at >r Marsh Root is now a conceded fact,
and where the Liver is torpid and slusr
gi.-h Constipation manifest, the body
tired, the eyes blnrred, and weakened,
the complexion poor, a sensation of dull
headaches, and languor prevailing,
Marsh Root will overcome them.
As to the Efficacy of Marsh Root, and
its fight against Kidney Diseases, you
can be your own judge if you are an af
flicted, and if it fails to relieve or cure
you, take the bottle back to your Drug
gist and he will give you your
money [back. Marsh Root stands for
the cure of Inflammation or Catarrh of
the Bladder, Blocked Kidneys, Scalding
Urine, Rheumatic Gout, Gravel, Uric
Acid, etc. The organs that require the
most careful attention (and are the most
often neglected, and the human filters
or strainers —the Kidneys, and therefor
doubly require your attention.
Do not delay when the Kidney machinery
ni-i ils repair. I>o not allow a break down to
go along when it is too lute—"A stitch in
tir: saves nine." InW cases out of every
In . i buttle of Marsh Hoot for a small outlay
v I relieve you of your trouble and worry.
