Former Governor Gov-ernor Horace Boies todav made public his letter accentinff the Democratic nomination nom-ination lor coneress in the Third district, now reuresented bv Speaker Henderson. The Iptcr is devoted entirely to the trusts and the tariff, and the only adequate remedv for the evil with which trusts are charged is declared to be the removal of the tariff on trust-made products. He declares the trust ouestion to be most important that now aeistates the public mind. The letter savs in part: "The teachings of the Democrats logically log-ically lead them to believe that our protective pro-tective tariff svstem has made the organization or-ganization of these trusts possible and o lore as it is continued they also believe be-lieve it will furnish a defensive breastwork breast-work behind which thev can find shelter from everv shaft that could reach a vital part. "The futility of legislation other than tariff reduction in restraint of such action ac-tion (the alleged methods of trusts) is to them demonstrated bv the fact that the great bulk of our trusts have been openly organized In the face of anti-trust laws varefully prepared and incorporated into the statutes of the nation and many of, the states." |
