An evil of gigantic proportions ts being fastened upen the land, whose fur-reaching effects will become more and more apparent every day. niall producers are being crowded out of the markets of the country, & perceptible stiffening in prices of manufactured gyoda con- trelied by trusts ts already notived on hand.

Not only do the trusts centralize in thommelves an autocratic power, calculated to bear down and sweep away al! opposition, but they become ‘otting factors In legislative bribing those whom they can cajote, ‘The formation of trusts is directly opposed to the theory and principles po excuse con of American institutions, and wit Strike ultimately at the foundations ot ablican government, The theory of our institutions is that all men are born free and equal with the same opportunities for advance- ment. The promoters of trusts say, “Onty the few shall have an oppor- tunity and shall survive.” Imper- falivm in business is almost as bad as feudalism in government and both are otterly foreign to American ideas. oC Among applications made to the Dominion parilament at Ottowa for ita veto of acts passed by provin- cial rartiaments, is one seeking the cisallowment of the British Colum- bia ellen exclusion act and the Jap- avese exclusion act.
