Bolen, G: Plain Facts as to the Trusts and the Tariff

Excerpt from The Plain Facts as to the Trusts and the Tariff: With Chapters on the Railroad Problem and Municipal MonopoliesDuring the half year that has elapsed since the chap ters of this book were electrotyped, the trusts and the tariff have been more than ever the chief topics of public discussion. In numerous speeches in the Congressional campaign President Roosevelt stated, as the Republican party's program, that the first step was to bring the trusts under publicity, amending if necessary the national Constitution, but that in order to save the independent producers the tariff duties should not be taken from trust-made products, nor prosperity endangered at pres ent by tariff legislation of any kind except carefully guarded reciprocity treaties and possibly a lowering of duties in a few obvious cases of tariff-sheltered monopoly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
