TALKS VERY INTERESTINGLY

W. G. llrantley.
■J jlnh district, summed up
I trust problem and of
governmental control of the evil. Con
gressntan Brantley came over from
Brunswick yesterday morning and
spent the day and night in Savannah.
He expects to return to-day.
"It Is too early yet," he said, in an
swer to a question, "to forcast upon
what issue the democrats will make
tholr tight in the next Congress, but
II democratic, congressional cam-
Jgn is being waged on the subject
the trusts.
' The speeches of the president, re
lUy delivered, have seemed to me
Floilow the republican program ip
|. x firty-slxth cpngress, where the
orts* was ostensibly to secure an
amendment to the constitution giving
the national government more power
to control large corporations. They
tried to get the democrats to vote for
Litis amendment and had they suc
ceeded they would have stopped the
democracy of the country from any
effective effort to check the march of
monopoly.
Safety for Trusts.
“Hut uie constitution is not going to
Lbe amended—certainly not within any
Reasonable time. It has been amend
■nl tint twice In a century —anu it re-
J quired four years of war to do it then,
if that is the republican program,
as it seems to lie, the trusts are as
safe from republican disturbance as
their officers can well desire.
Mr. Brantley does not believe that a
constitutional amendment is at all
necessary, but on the contrary that
there are many ways by which t'ne
trusts can he reached without, any
change In tno present fundamental law
of the land.
I believe," he said, "they can be
reached through the tariff, Ui course
it Is not corporations genera..y, but
monopolies, upon which the fight
should be made and a monopoly could
not exist u foreign countries were .n
a position to sell their products In the
united States on even terms with do
mestic producers. It does not seem
te no- that injustice would he
anyone were the trusts compelled to
sell at home at the same prices they
are willing and anxious to accept
abroad.
By Postal Regulations.
“1 think it possible that something
could be done through postal regula
tions, by means of which the Louisi
ana State Lottery” wa* driven from
this country. I think much could be
done if the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission were enlarged
and strengthened, because it Is large
ly through the co-operation of the
railroads and transportation lines that
the trusts finds It possible to accom
plish their ends.
•‘And there Is another effective rem
edy for the evils of monopoly, which
Is already at hand. There are penal
laws on the subject of unlawful com
binations, the enforcement of which
would be potent for good. I have not
heard tnat the president has instruct
ed tne Attorney General to lnstuu
prosecutions for their violation.
no. we don't need a constltu
pal amendment—which is fortunate
could not secure one if we
Ipijttdt is 1-He to talk about it, nor
Kflmpr. -st-ed with the serious pur
■ anti-trust arguments ot which
[it is made the basis. We need action;
not talk."
Complimented Savannah.
Mr. Brantley Is making his first
visit of more than a few hours to Sa
vannah for a year or two and he is
impressed with the improvements that
even that brief space of tune have wit
nessed here.
"ifour Union Station is one of the
handsomest in the South," he said:
very much handsomer than anything
of the kind in Washington. As it has
been one of the most needed, so I
think it one of the greatest Improve
ments the city lias made, and just now
I am inclined to the belief that the
Casino here at Thunderbolt Is tne next
in attractiveness and ueauty.’’
Mr. Brantley was sitting on one of
u.e Casino verandas when he made
lue statement. He liau dlnqd out
there with Solicitor General W. W.
Osborne and Mr. 4. A. Lawrence and
to the soothing after dinner accom
paniment of a good cigar was suffer
ing the poetry of the star-lit river and
marshes to sink into his soul. It was
a pretty scene, and the reason of Mr.
Brantley's enthusiasm was not far to
seek.
Possibly because he had come to
Savannah only on business, possibly
because of the contemplation of the
river and the contentment begotten 01
the cigar, Mr. Brantley was not very
anxious to discuss politics—a state of
mind the reporter did not think
healthy, nor desire the congressman
to retain.
“Come, Mr. Brantley,” he said ' and
tell me what the democrats In cou
gress are going to do about the trusts,
and when you next run for Congress
I’ll coine down to your district and
give you two or three votes ”
"Tut,” said Mr. Osborne; "offer the
mail some real inducement. He’s al
ready got a life tenure on his office,
and the people of his district are.
thinking of giving him the privilege of
disposing of it in his will.”
CREDITOR’# MEETING. '■
