There are exceptions among the Senators,
but they are in the minority. Every year the Senate is less and
less representative of the nation, more and more representative
of organized capital. Good Americans, irrespective of party,
will strive to work for this change in the national machinery.
Take away from the trusts now the power to tamper with national
laws through the Senate.
THE PROMISING TOAD'S HEAD
The head of a toad, like the head of a trust, is superficially a
hideous thing to look at.
Sometimes it is alleged that valuable jewels are found in a
toad's head, and on this account the hideousness even of the
far-famed horned toad of the West becomes less repulsive.
The trust toad, as you will find by examining it closely and
studying events, has a head equipped with jewels of a very fine
quality. Many years from now men will be very glad that the
trust toad was born, because of the good that will come from it.

Already we see that the trusts are inevitably strengthening labor
unions. They are bringing the men into closer relationship and
forming them into greater and more closely united bodies of
workmen.
The trusts organize admirably the great industries and prepare
the day when all of these industries will be owned by the
Government--that is to say, by the people themselves.
