Vol. XL?* Austin, Mower County, Minnesota, Wednesday, November 4, 1908. Terms—$1.50 Per Annum, in Advance
Anti-Trust
Pressed by Governor Hughes for an
explanation of the practical operations
of his plan for forbidding corporations
to supply more than fifty per cent of
the demand for the wares they produce,
Mr. Bryan Bays that "the details could
easily be adjusted later." That is cer
tainly a characteristic reply. But in
every undertaking there is grave
danger in adjusting details later there
is grave danger in taking even the first
step until details have been adjusted,
whether one is going to war or making
laws or entering the grocery business
The details are all important if they
will work out and have been worked
out the battle is won. It frequently
happens that details cannot be adjust
ed later and they can never be adjusted.
They could never have been adjusted
had debtors been free to pay in debased
metal what creditors claimed in honest
coin they could never have been ad
justed had this country accepted the
theory that it could shake off the
Philippines as one shakes off an old
shoe, and they can never be adjusted in
dealing, as he woeld deal, with thou
sands of combinations and millions
of products and a fluctuating market.
