OOLUVER SOUHDS DOOM OF TRUSTS "Iowa Idea" Expounded Before Republican Meeting. THE LAW OF COMPETITION lf Individtial Manufacturer is Ever potent Before Monopoly Iowa ator Says Walls of Protection Will Be Broken Down.

CHICAGO, October "Iowa Idea" came to the surface to-night at a mass meeting under the auspices of the Na? tional League of Republican Clubs, which met in annual convention "nere to-day. United States Senator S. P. Dolliver, of Iowa, was responslble. Interest became intense when it was reallzed by the dele? gates to the convention and spectators that they were being treated to the flrst public speech on the subject by a na? tional leader of the party since the Iowa Republican State convention.

Mr. Dolli? ver said, in part: "Let us look at the Iowa idea for a minute, and I select that. only because I am more famlllar with it, and hecause circumstances have arisen to give it universal advertisement It has been pre? sented to the country as the sudden Im pulse of dlssatisfied mischlef makers with? in the Republican party. On ttfe other hand, lt is the mature JudgmentTIT a man whose wlsdom has never failed the Re? publican party In tho forty years of his uninterrupted public service. "It ls evident that, even if It were de? sirable to klll th- trusts.

It could not be done by merely ramitting the duties which their foreign competitors pay at our cus tom houses. Even Mr. Bryan, who talks of putting the captains of industry into a chaln-gang and sendlng J. P. Morgan first, to the poor-house and then to the penitentiary, admits publicly that the free trade remedy falls very far short of tho object he has In view.

Neary every sober student of the cbjeot admits that It was the pressure of competltlon which has drawn some of our Industrles. flrst into groups and then Into glgantic combinations. un? der a single corporate management. A si.ccessful attempt to repeal the law of competition In the American market-place would be speedlly fatal to the protection tariff system, because the w-hole design of that system rests upon the unimpalred vitality of that law. "Before anybody makes up his mind that the so-called American trust is a permanent institution.

let him consider the long list of ambitious combinations which have already had their affairs v-ound up by the courts of nlcohol trust. the linseed old trust. the alkali trust, the asphalt trust. the bicycle trust and scores of others whose very nnmes are now forgotten. What was the matter with these aston ishir.g creations of the promoter's art? Nine out of ten of them were bogus and, without stretchlng the law very much, could have been denied the use of the mails on an ordinary fraud order.

Only yestorday one of the mammoth estab Iishments, the National Salt Company. had a little business before a Court of Equity in Xew Jersey. The organizatbm of that trust in 1SS0 was looked upon every where as a step In the direction of monopolizing the necessaries of life. NOTHING TO FEAR. "The more I examine the old law of competition the better It looks to me.

If th-jvday of settlement has already come to so many of these once formldable ins-titutions, how has it fared with those which have so far survived the test? Already the evidence is accumulating from which the doom ot' the trusts can be foretold, even the most solvent and best managed of them all. The figures of the census show that neither in the mereantile nv-r the manufacturing world has the small dealer, who owns his busi? ness and gives it his personal attention, anything to fear in competition with the overgrowth and investments of capital that surrounds him. "There is no room In this direction for vnin exclamatlons of alarm and despalr. Up to this time tho tariff policy to which we owe the prosperous conditions which now surround us, has been the ally of Impotent capital in Its grapple with the modern trust system; but if the day ghould ever come when the productive energies of the American people are im? potent in the presence of monopoly. the protection which for more than a gener atlon our laws have given to all our In dttstries alike.
