Declares That Legislation Is the Proper Remedy for Combinations. Bourke Cockran’s Second Address. | CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The conference on the uses and abuses of trusts | closed its session here to-day in a blaze of oratory in which Colonel William J. Bryan and W. Bourke Cockran were the central figures. 'Mr. Cockran fol- lowed the noted Nebraskan, but dis~ claimed any intention of debating the conclusions of his immediate predeces- sor and declaring his complete con- currence in much that Mr. Bryan had said. The Westerner had dellvered the speech of the day during the forenoon amid frequent interruptions of tumuit- uous applause. Mr. Foulke of Indiana, commenting on the speech, made asser- tions which Mr. Bryan desired further to discuss. He was requested to take the stage and complied, for the second ! time facing a wildly enthustastic house. At the conclusion, Mr. Cockran arose and observed: “Just a few words. The spectators wanted more and re- fused to subside until he had taken the platform. He agreed with Mr. Bryan, he said, but he wanted information. The crowd which greeted Colonel Bryan when the doors were thrown open amounted almost to a mob. Cen- tral Music Hall was jammed from pit to gallery with admirers of the Ne- braskan. When he had concluded his speech 80 per cent of the audience de- parted, leaving a few straggling spec- tators to listen to the remaining speak- ers and the report of the committee on Jlution. x-Governor Luce of Michigan was man of this committee and he rig- adhered to the resolutions passed vesterday, in which it was resolved that no resolutions giving the senti- ment of the conference on the trust problems should be presented or con- sidered. Mr. Keasley of New Jersey, a mem- ber of the committee, declared that he had spoken with Colonel Bryan, and that the latter had given it as his opin- |fon that the nature of the conference made T lutions expressive of senti- | ment on the problem out of place. He proposed that to the original resolu- | tions be added something to the effect that the coneference had been of bene- fit to the delegates, had cleared their minds of many doubts and enlightened their understanding. These suggestions were not considered. The decision of the committee as submitted in Chairman Luce's report was unanimou adopted, as was a motion put before the house thanking the Civic Federation for its entertain- ment of the legates. Other speakers during the day were J. H. Raymond, G. W. Northrup Jr., Professor David Kinl T. B. Walker, W. W. Howe, ex-Senator Blair of New Hampshire, Attorney General T. S. Smith of Texas, J. B. Dill, A. Copeland, ‘W. D. Foulke, while many others took part in the discussion which cfosed the conference. It was decided that those who had prepared speeches, but had not been al- lowed, owing to the limitation of the programme, to read them, should de. liver them into the hands of Secretary Easley to be published In book form, together with those which had been de- livered: from the stage. In his principal speech during the | morning session, Mr. Bryan sald: The trust question has grown In im- portance. Within the past two years more trusts have been organized than were organized in all the previous history of the country, and the people now coms face to face with this ques Is the ? a curse, applied to the art with the declar- in private hands is standpoint and be less harm- tion 1 curs | ation indef intoleral monopoly from any One trust may 1other. One trust magnate may benevolent than another; but no good monopoly in private and I do not believe it is safe for to permit any man or group of men monopolize article of mer- chandise or any branch of business. The defense of the monopoly is always placed on the ground that if you will allow people to control the market and fix the price they will be good to the peo- ple who purchase of them. The entire de- fense of the trusts rests upon a money argument. In the early vears of Lincoln’s admin. istration he Sent a message to Congress, and in that message he warned his coun- trymen against the approach of monarchy. He said 1t was the attempt to put capital upon an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the structure of government, and in that attempt he saw the approach of monarchy. Lincoln was right. Whenever you put capital on an equal footing with fabor, or above labor, in the structure of government you are on the road to aid- ing a government that rests not upon reason, but upon force. ,thing is more Important than that we in the baginning, rightly under- the relation between money and What is the purpose of trusts or monopoly? For when I use the word “trust” I use it in the sense that the word ans monopoly; and what is the pur- ¢ of monopoly? rst advantage of a monopoly is to the price of the raw material fur- d by the people to that comblnation. next thing is, after you have bought | up all the factories, to close a part of { them and turn out of emplovment the men who are engaged In them, and If you | will look over the count you will see | where those enterprises, having come under the control of the trusts, have been c d up and stand now as silent monu- ments to the wisdom of the trust system. ‘We must recognize selfishness, and we must so make our laws that people shall not be permitted to trespass upon the rights of others In their efforts to secure advantages for themselves. I believe that terested in the Independence v citizen. Soclety is interested in use If a man dles and leaves no provision for his wife and children the burden falls upon society. 1 believe that the principle of monopoly | finds its inspiration in the desire of men to secure by monopoly what they cannct secure in_ the open fleld of competition. Another thing ‘that, to my judgment, has alded monopoly is a high tariff. Nobody can dispute that a tariff law, import duty, enables a trukt to charge for its product the price of a similar foreign product, pius the tariff. Now, some have suggested that to put vthing on the free lists that trusts e would destroy the trusts. I do not with this statement, as it is made so I believe that the high tariff has is to agre broadly aided the trust to collect more than the trust otherwise could collect. But I do not believe that you could destroy all | trusts by putting all trust-made articles on the free list. Why? Because ¥ an article can be produced in this country as cheaply as it can be produced abroad. | the trust could exist without the benefit | of any tariff at all, althflufh it could not extort so much as it could with the tar- | iff, ana while some relief may come with modifications of the tariff we cannot de | stroy monopoly until we lay the ax at the Toot of the tree and make monopoly impossible by law. It has been suggested that discrimina- tion by railroads has aided the trusts. There is no question that discrimination and favoritism, secured by one corpora- tion against another, has been largely in- strumental in enabling a desired monop- oly llO become practically a complete mo- nopoly. ow ‘that can be remedied by laws that will prevent this discrimination, and when we prevent the discrimination, still mo- nopoly may exist. The remedy must he | complete enough to prevent the organi- zation of a monopoly. Both State ana g“edera.l government should have reme- es. I belleve that Confi'reu has the power to place such restrictions and limitations, even to the point of prevention, upon any corporation organized in one State that gam- to do business outside of the tate. Now, I believe that these concurrent remedies will reach the difficulty: That the people of every State shall flrst de- cide whether or not they want to create a corporation; that they shall, secondly, de- cide whether they want any outside cor- oration to do business in the State, and f so, upon what conditions; and, thirdly, that Congress shall exercise the right to place upon every corporation doing busi- ness outside of the State in which it is organized similar restrictions as may be needed for the public good. If it is unconstitutional and so de- clared by the Supreme Court, I am in fa- vor of an amendment to the constitution that will give to Congress power to de- stroy every trust in the country. The first condition which I suggested was that no water should be allowed in the stock. I do not believe that any State should permit the organization of any corpora- tion with a single drop of water in the stock of that corporation. If a license is granted, then the first conditions cay be that any corporation desiring to do business outside of the State In which It Is organized shall bring to that board or body proof that the stock is bona fide and that there is no water in it. In my judgment when you take from monopoly the power to issue stock represented by no money you will g0 more than half the way toward de- stroying monopoly in the United States. You can provide for publicity and that v or at other times the corpor- ations shall make returns of its busi and. when you provide for publicity so that the public shall know just what there is in the corporation you will go an- other long step the destruction of the principle A third condi ggest is that this license shall-not be granted until the cor- poration shall show that it has not had a monopoly and is not attempting a monopoly 0f any branch of Industry or any article of merchandise, and to provide that if the law is violated the license can be revoked. ow, I may be mistaken, but it has seemed to me that this method of dealing with the trusts would prove an effective method. 1 do not believe it is the natural outgrowth of unnatural conditions created by man-made laws. You cannot hide be- hind the doctrine that it is here and you cannot get rid of it. I believe that the American people can get rid of anything that they don't want, and that they ought to get rid of everything that is not good. I believe that liw Declaration of Ind: pendence was the grandest document ever penned by human hands. The truths of that declaration are condensed into four great propositions—that all men are cre- ated equal; that they are endowed with inalienable rights; that governments are instituted among ‘men to preserve these rights, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. Such a government is impossible under industrial aristocrac: Place the food and clothing and all that we eat and wear and use in the hands of a few people and Instead of being a government by the people it will be a government of the sy icates by the syndicates and for the syn- dicates. Establish h a government and the peopie will soon be powerl to secure a legislative remedy for any abuse. I am not willing to place the laboring men of this country absolutely at the mercy of the heads of monopolies. When you control the price that a man is to re- ceive for what he produced, you control the price that he is to receive for the labor in the productio® of that thing. Some people have tried to separate the laboring man from the workingman who works on the farm. 1 warn the laboring men in the factories that when they join with the monopolies to crush the farmer, as soon as the farmer is crushed the laboring man will be crushed, and his ally will be de- stroyed; and in a test of endurance the farmer will stand it longer than the labor- ing man. The farmer was the first man on the scene when civilization began, and he will be the last one to disappear. But, my friends, why should we try to see who could hold out the longest in suf- fering? For one hundred years all na- tions have looked to this nation for hope and instruction. Let us settle these great questions that we have; let us teach the wogld the blessing of a' government that comes from the people, and let us show them how happy and how pProsperous peo- ple can be. The afternoon session opened with addresses by Attorney General Smith of Texas and James Dill, who had a hand in the framing of the New Jer- sey trust law. A general discussion foilowed, which resulted in both Colonel Bryan and Bourke Cockran taking the platform. W. D. Foulke of Indiana made a short speech, in which he declared that he failed to ses that the remedies proposed by Colonel 3ryan in the latter’s speech during the morning session could result in the at- tainment of the object sought for. Colonel Bryan, who was sitting in the back part of the hall, arose and, amid cheering, started to reply. Before he had uttered a dozen words, however. cries of “Take the platform!” came from all parts of the hall, and with a smile he did so. In concluding his speech Mr. Bryan sald: I do not believe it necessary for us to sit down quietly and permit a great ag- gregation of wealth to strangle every competitor. I do not belleve that it is in SHE WAITED T0 BE A SALOR Young Lady Runs Away From Home. S Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. toward PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 16.—Love of the sea and a desire for a life on the ocean wave induced Miss Kate Ross, aged 22, a leading soclety young lady of Bal- sh., to run away from home. vening Miss Koss left her home, announcing that she was going for a row on the bay, according to her custom. In- stead of returning at the usual hour she continued her journey down the Sound in her frail craft until she reached the en- trance to Fuca Straits, a distance of forty miles, where a heavy swell was running. Her courage failed her and she hailed a passing steamer and she and her boat were taken aboard and landed at Seattl She then boarded a steamer for Victori arriving here this morning. Being recos nized on the passage from Seattle, the Chief of Police s notified and she was brought ashore and her relatives inforred of her whereabouts. ¥ Owing to her social standing, when she disappeared great excitement prevailed in Ballard, and searching parties started out both by land and water and the search was continued for four days, and she was given up as having been drowned. The only explanaticn she would give of her strange conduct was that she wanted to become a sailor, stating that she had a fascination for the sea. While in charge of the Chief of Police here she begged most piteously not to be sent to her home in Ballard, but _to be allowed to ship as cook or stewardess on one of the vessels in this port. She belongs to one of the ioneer families of Puget Sound and is r\lghly respected, and her strange freak is unaccountable to her friends and rela- tives. Cadet Sylvester Dies.

Let me suggest one other thing that I believe will be a step in the right direc- tion. The great trouble has been that while our platforms denounce corpora- | tions corporations control the elections | and place under obligation to them the | men who are elected to enforce the law. (Applause.) Leét me propose a remedy—not a remedy, but a step, I think, in the right direction. | Let the laws, State and national, make it | a penal offense for any corporation to contribute to the campaign fund of any | political party. (Continued cheers and ap- | plause.) Nebraska has such a law, passed | two vears ago. Such a law was passed, or was introduced, in the State of New York, but so far it has not reached the stage of actual law in the State of New York. (Laughter.) Now, I believe it is a step in the right direction. You remember the testimony ta before a Senate committes a few | years ago, when the head of the sugar trust testified that -the sugar trust made it its business to contribute to campaign funds, and when asked to which it con-| tributed it replied that it depended upon circumstances. *“To_which_one do you contribute in Massachusetts?” was asked. *To the Republic: und.” ‘‘To which fund New York? To the Democratic fund “To what fund in New Jersey?" and the man sa; look at the boo! State.” (Continued plause.) Now, that is almost a literal reproduc- tlon of the testimony of one great cor- poration on the subject of campalgn con- tribution. I do not mean to say that that | remedy would be a complete one, but 1 believe that if you prevent a corporation from contributing to campaign funds you take a step In the right direction toward better legislation, because some corporations are compelled to contribute. | They are blackmailed into contributions, and such a law would protect a corpora- tion that did not want to contribute and | also prevent a corporation from contrib- | uting that did ,want to contribute, If the people are in earnest they can do it, and you can never do anything in this country until the people are in earnest, and when the American people under- stand what the monopoly question means 1 believe that there will be no power, political, financial or otherwise, to pre vent the people from taking possession of every branch of the government frora President to the Supreme Court and mak- ing the Government responsible to the people’s will. (Great cheers and ap- plausc.) At the conclusion of Colonel Bryan's address Bourke Cockran arose and | started to speak from his seat in the | hall, but in response to cheers and calls | to “Come to the front,” he took the platform. Mr. Cockran said in part: Just one moment while I express my complete concurrence in much that Mr. Bryan has said. 1f there be a monopoly that oppresses, T believe that there is no constitutional limitation, there is no pro- vision of government, there is no power | on earth against these people redressing | a wrong when it becomes a wrons.

PARIS, Sept. 16.—La Liberte publishes a report of an interview with Deputy La Gresse, who was received by the Premier, M. Waldeck-Rous- seau, vesterday. The Premier, the Deputysays,declared that theOrlean- ists had a wonderful organization and that the Duc d'Orleans had been on the point of entering Paris. He also said that the anti-Semitic and patriotic leagues, at a sign from Deroulede, could have put 20,000 men in the streets of Paris, and that the republic had escaped a coup de force by the narrowest margin. The charges of complicity in the alleged conspiracy to bring about a change in the form of government will not be prosecuted in the cases of forty-five prisoners, including the printers of the Anti-Juif, who Have al- ready left Fort Chabrol, and butchers who attempted to supply M.
