VEST ON THE 1904 ISSUES. | Follows Closely in Mr. Cleve- land's Line of Policve Cut Off the Tariff Nourishment and the Trust Will Die---Bryan Not a Great Leader---No Time Now to Talk of Bimetallism. Washington, Dec, 25.—For the first time since the death of his son, Sena- tor Vest has given expression to a newspaper interview. The interview with the Missouri senator comes on the eve of his retirement from public life after conspicuous service in the United States for twenty-four years. Authoritative interviews with num- erous Democratic senators have fol- lowed each other in quick succession of late. Compared to the interview rich in epigram and thought which the Missouri senator has made pub- lic other recent expressions of Demo- cratic senators seem tame and in- pid. Most significant is the fact that Vest, who never liked Cleveland, has expressed in different language the same fundamental ideas which the ex-President advanced in his in- terview published recently. Like Cleveland, Vest charges the Republi- ean party with insincerity and in- ability to regulate the tariff and like Cleveland le regards the combina- tions of capital as the greatest men- ace that threatens the country, He boldly proclaims that the tariff is re- s and dechires sponsible for the that the present is not the time for Democrats to pres the money ques- tion to the front. Of Bryan he says “He has not the elements of great or successful leadership.” “The greutest menace that threat eps this country to-day,” said Senna- tor vier is i combinations ofenpis tal wit That t! to be known, owe t monopoly their object ev have come ese Trusts, if not solely, to the protective taviff should be evident to any student of economic questions, The existence ofa monopoly depends on theability ofa combination of capital to con- trol the output and distribution of a commodity. That sufficient capital ean be confined to control a com- modity in this country we hive seen; but there has not been, and it does not seem there could be, a combina- tion suftiently gigantic to control the world’soutpnt of any of thegreat necessaries of life. NO REAL TRUST IN ENGLAND, “In attempting to refute the argu ment that the tariff is responsible for trusts in this country, it is declared it trusts exist in that equally free trade Eng ad, This is: false, absolutely. There are in England a niinber of trust Which control the supply of certain articles of com nierce, but none of these articles necessary of life, of genet duction ‘The English monopolies because the articles they | are possible controlare of such limited produc tionthat they have been able togain possession of the sources of supply No monopoly can exist in a great staple of commerce where chmpeti- tion is open to the world. “This being the case, it seems very clear that monopoly in commereia staph States only beeanse competition is not open to the world, and the pro- tected tariff is convicted of responsi- bility. The first step then, in an honest attempt to correct the evils from which we suffer, is toremove the protection the tariff gives to the monopoly and force it into world vom petition, “But the Republican party will not take this step.

Let an attempt be made to remove the protection afforded one industry and every industry that feeds on protection will ery out jin is possible in the United sjeut off the \ forces: of bimetal | leaves Congress with weak weapons with which to fight monopoly. The act of 1890, known erroneously as the Sherman anti-law, represents the limit of the constitutional authority | of Congress to regulate trade between thestates, and only in theregulation of trade between the states can Con- gress touch the trusts. “It is ordered that the name of the late Senator Sherman should be cou- pled to a measure which he conspicu- ously opposed and refused to vote for. In 1890 Mr. Sherman intro duced from the Senate finance com- mittee a bill designated to regulate the trusts, but it was clearly uncon- stitutional in that it sought to take from the states their right to regu- late their domestic commerce. ‘The bill was referred to the judiciary com- mittee, of which Senator Edmunds was chairman, and of which I was a member. The judiciary committee took up the question and reported the anti-trust measure, which became a law, but which embodied none of the essential features of the Sherman bill. When the bill came before the Senate, Mr. Sherman opposed it and rather than vote for its passage got up and left the Senate chamber. “| read with interest the Pittsburg speech of Attorney General Knox, in which he claimed to be able to con- duct successful prosecutions under thislaw. The Attorney General may have resources of which I know noth- ing, but as one of the authors of the act, 1 do not see how it can be done. The only other hope of securing di- rect legislation to cure the trust evil is by a constitutional amendment giving Congress u larger grant of power and I do not believe the states are willing to surrender to Congress so large a measure of their reserved rights CUT OFF THE NOURISHMENT, ©The difficulty, if not the impossi- bility, of dealing with trusts through remedial legislation being establish- ed, does it not seem: reasonable that would «be to that has enabled ttm to grow to such ungovernable size? This is the view I think the American people will take of it, and a demand for such process should be the attitude of the Demo- cratic party, the determination of the Republican party not to adopt the remedy being apparent. With thisfor the paramount issue in 1904, | confidently believe a Democratic President and a Demoeratie House of Representatives will be elected. “The money question I do not be- lieve will be a conspicuous issue in thecampaign. The large production of gold has sufficed to postpone the inevitable triumph of bimetallism. The platform should contain a de- claration in favor of a double stand- ard, but no attempt should be made some the wise course nourishment to force the issue to the front. day there will be another great polit ical battle in America between the 1 and monome- tallism and bimetallism willtriumph, Dutthatdayishotnow. —~”| THINKS LITTLE OF BRYAN, “As to who will lead the Democrat- it party to its promised vietory two A GERMAN’S VIEWS.
