Absalom and the Trust Threats in Early 1900s Talk
A long speech argues that private monopolies threaten families and labor. It cites Absalom as a test of safety for a son amid rising trusts, rail rate discrimination, and wage suppression. It warns that monopolies raise prices, cut wages, and erode civic rights, urging state and federal action to curb trusts and protect workers and farmers.
