NOTHING in the eloquent address
made by Mr.. Bryan at the Jeffer-
son birthday banquet, gathering
of democrats that will not soon be
forgotten, was more important or
significant than the following
words; 'The position taken by the
democratic party in 1896 will not
be surrendered. If you doubt the
permanency Of the Chicago plat
form as a party creed, go among
the rank and file Of the party and
measure the zeal and enthusiasm
which that platform has aroused,
and you will realize the impossi-
bility of taking a backward step.
True, the present administration
is seeking to turn public attention
to the tariff question, but if our
reasoning is well-founded, an in
crease of taxes cannot restore pros
perity to the producers of wealth.
In fact, we contend that neither
high taxation nor low taxation can
bring prosperity to the people, so
long rs an approaching dollar con-
tinues to give the money owner an
advantage over the rest of the
people. The money question must
be the paramount issue of the next
campaign, as it was Of the last.
II the Dingley bill brings genuine
and permanent prosperity, the
democratic party will not be in a
position to win contest by oppos-
ing it. If, on the other band, the
Dingley bill proves dissappoint-
ment to those who advocate it, our
position Of 1896 will be strength
ened, and public attention will be
riveted upon the fact that the
cause of financial depression is to
be found in Our monetary system.
