The Kansas Democrat notes Bryan’s view that trusts oppress all classes, with consumers extorted, raw-material producers constrained to a single buyer, workers faced with arbitrary wages and conditions, small stockholders at the mercy of speculators, and traveling salesmen feeding inflated profits, affecting every man, woman, and child in the United States.
