ed 10 Keep us from l0JuTluS OllS etli-
other. A man consents to O. ring be-
ing put in his own nose to prevent him
from injuring his neighbor, so long as
another ring is put in his neighbor's
nose to prevent his neighbor from in
juring him. To right the wrongs that
are felt by the people there is no need
of finding new principles of govern
ment. Go back to our fathers. Learn
their principles. Return to them and
difficulties will be removed. Every
thing will be settled.
Senator's By People.
Silver is the paramount issue in this
country. The Democrats must settle
that before taking up anything else.
Yet when that question is settled there
are others that will demand the at
tention of the Democratic party. There
is an absolute necessity for the gov
eminent being brought nearer to the
people There is more virtue in the
people than there is in any body of
representatives elected by them. The
nearer the government is brought to
the people the better it is. After we
secure the restoration of silver there
are two important things to be Sc
cured. The first is the popular cleo
ton of United States senators.
(Cheers) If we believe the people are
intelligent enough to know what they
want and to rule themselves, what
objection can there be to such a meas
ure? (Applause).
Supreme Court Change.
But there is still another thing. Since
the supreme court of the United States
has decided the most righteous law
ever suggested by man to be uncon-
stitutiona1, it appears evident that
there must be q construction of that
| court. The speaker said he did not ex-
pect that his auditors would wholly
| agree with him. His views might be
| called extreme He believed that the
remedy should go farther than the
suggestion of Justice Harlan, who
urged an amendment to the constitu-
ton authorizing a tax upon incomes.
The fault lies farther back than the
| hearing on the income tax. So long as
! judges are against taxing the incomes
/ OF the wealthy they will be able to de-
| feat any law that may be designed to
/ do so. The time has come when the
| people should elect every judge in the
country, for short time. (Cheers)-
At this point Mr. Bryan said he
would stop, but from all over the
house came cries of Go on, go on"
Cleveland VS.. Jefferson.
There is another thing. he continued.
Grover Cleveland and Thomas Jeffer-
son have widely differed on the
money question Grover Cleveland has
declared that the issuance of paper
money is function of the banks and
that the government should go out of
the banking business Thomas Jeffer-
son declared that the issuance of
money was a function of government
f1,nT ,e.I,0 out -
the government business. The issue
between the two ideas must be settled
as soon as we have settled the ques-
ton of metallic money.
The question will be one of choice
between Thomas Jefferson, the founder
of the Democratic party, the eXpound-
er Of those immortal principles which
make the Democracy great, the man
who made the Democracy invincible
and Grover Cleveland. I do not hest
tate in my choice. I would rather
worship at Monticello than at Buz-
Yards Bay" Enthusiastic cheering).
Against the Banks.
Jefferson always denounced the ma.
tional banking system. Jackson be-
came the idol of the people because he
resisted the great banking conspiracy
sons time should be Democratic now
The government cannot rightfully dis
tinguish between its citizens ant
bestoW favors on one and not on the
other. The same principle is applicable
now, as it was when Joseph wa:
given the coat of many colors
Favoritism in the world causes NOR,
woe than good. You cannot single gu
{ one without doing injustice to all. Wha
right has the government to say t.
the bankers that they may use theiI
property so as to gain the right L
control the circulating medium of tht
country while that right is denied t
the farmers and laborers? Why give
, a monopoly on the most important o
al commodities. There may b.
whisky trusts, cordage trusts ant
other trusts, but the greatest trust o
all is the money trust. If given powe
it will work harm to the people
Let us So back to the principles o
our farthers and we shall solve tn
problems that confront US for tn
benefit of ourselves our families ant
society. There are a few people in tn
!, United States who do not like gu
form of government They would lik
a strong centralized power, with al
aristocracy They point to Englan
as an ideal nation. Perhaps such
government would be suitable to u
if we could all be certain that on
children would be favorites of tn
king. If we could tie up wealth S
that our progeny might be among tn
, aristocracy then we might believe.
Only Democratic Government.
> But we know we cannot protect ou
t children beyond our own lives. w
$ know riches take wings like the mis-
of morning Then the only government
we can leave them with safety is
: Democratic government.
e Twill the Democratic party meet tn
: questions as they arise and meet ther
I in the interest of the common people
Lincoln said God must have loved tn
common people, because he made S
many of them. 1t is the boast of tn
Democratic party that it stands for tn
people under all conditions. There
no room in this country for two Re
publican parties. If Democrats ar
elected to carry out Republican prime
pies it would be just as well
elect the Republicans. The Democrat
party, if it wishes to succeed, must
Democratic still.
The speaker said he took pleasur
