The week there have been
two nutable expressions giv
ing the cue to Jthe two parties
for the campaign, one b.v
the Democratic leader, John
Sharp Williams, and the
other by the houncing and
som e w h a t grandiloquent
orator, Senator Dolliver of
Iowa. The gift of Dolliver's
speech was that Trusts may
be trusted; that there are
aood trusts and bad trums;
that the beneficent trust
produce prosperity and that
naughty trusts die of their
own wickeqness like angry
scorpion. H" gave a list of
ervsts, which, he declared,
had gone bankrupt merely
because thy tried todefrau-1
the people. The corollary
of those conclusions was that
trust trusts could not pos
sibly be an issue in the ap
proaching campaign. At this
the Republicans applauded
hocteri.-ally, and the Demo
crats laughed tumultuous,.
Several clerks will be em

Mr. Williams, the leader
of the House Demoerats,
charged the Republicans with
sbirkiugand not daring n

campaign. This, he declared,

the conspirators were not

dent had been indulging in
the praetice of making lawM
of his official decrees; and the
people have become accust
omed to his habit of ex
ccuting orly su-h laws as he
considers wise. Mr." Williams
appealed for reciprocity with
Canada, the putting of soft
coal, hides and other com
modules on the free list, and
for the Filipinos a free press,

with the United States by
