Don’t seine the pond for minnows when you can harpoon such whales as these. Hit the big criminals—_hit them hard_—and eighty million people will cheer you on! You led us to believe that you meant to revise the Tariff; why don’t you follow it up? You _know_ that _the Trust exists because of the Railroad and the Tariff_. The Railroad gives the _special favor_; the Tariff _prevents foreign Competition_—and there you are. _The Trust is born of these two Special Favors_, one given by the Tariff and the other by private contracts violative of law. To break any and all Trusts _remove the Tariff on the articles controlled by the Trusts, and at the same time relentlessly prosecute as common criminals every Railroad Official, however high and rich, who grants to one shipper any sort of favor not granted to all_. There isn’t a Trust in the United States that you can’t bust in twelve months if you go at it with these weapons. The Free List for trust-controlled articles; Criminal Warrants for the Armours, Swifts, Harrimans, Rockefellers, Morgans, Belmonts—all who are “in the game.” Here’s a work worthy of you, Mr. Roosevelt. _It needs you!_ It wants your pluck, your energy, your honesty, your tenacity; won’t you buckle to the task? Let the baby question alone. There will always be plenty of babies. Don’t you fret about that. The women know what’s what. Turn your head another way. Put your attention on _your_ job. _A great man’s task invites you—demands you._ RISE TO IT LIKE A GREAT MAN! _Did You Know It?_ Did you know that a private corporation got its clutch upon the Monongahela River generations ago and shut off free navigation? Did you know that this private monopoly exercised the power of dictating to every dollar’s worth of produce transported upon that highway the terms upon which it should go to market? Did you know that _the people at large_, who were robbed by this gigantic and unnatural monopoly, _complained vainly_ during all these long and dreary years of corporation tyranny? Did you know that as soon as _the corporations which are working in coal and iron_ got tired of said monopoly and began to complain, our great and good Government at once had ears to hear and eyes that could see? Did you know that patriots of the Carnegie stripe, who had to pay tribute to the Monongahela monopoly, were losing $425,000 per year to said monopoly; _and that Carnegie and Company went to our great and good Government and demanded that said Government buy out said Monongahela monopoly_? Did you know that our great and good Government immediately harkened to the wails of Carnegie and his Company _and appointed a commission to assess the value of said Monongahela monopoly_? Did you know that said monopoly, being wise in its generation, realized that its hour had come and that its best policy was to sell out at a high price?
