Lincoln. Lincoln believed in the doc
Lincoln signed bill that provided for
an income tax, not just a level income
tax, but graded income tax, and yet
the republican party in congress voted
against such tax, and they will tell
you it is socialistic.
II never could understand how an
ordinary man could oppose an income
tax. Under the present law the poor
pay more than their share, the rich
are paying less than their share in
their support of the government. Even
in local taxation, the farmer pays
more than his'share. The burden does
not fall upon the ones upon whom it
should fall, but is shifted and in the
end the farmer pays the larger per
cent of taxation of the country. You
go out among the farmers, and how
many do you find who can take sum
mer vacation. I saw this summer at
the lakes, cottages lining the shore.
The people had come there to enjoy a
rest for the summer, and the first
thought that came to my mind was
this: What proportion of our people
can afford to take summer rest? and
then the second thought was, what
portion Of our people is able to take "a
rest The people who produce the
wealth of this nation, the people who
toll the hardest and the longest are
the people who have least time and
money to take summer vacations;
while those who do not produce wealth
l,,,f fr,lr hot ~
are the ones who have the most. And
could not help thinking OF the women
upon the farm who are helping their
husbands to bear the burdens of life,
and wondered how many of them
were able to go away for summer re-
creation. Why is it the favors of gov
eminent are SO unequally distributed
and the blessings SO unequally enjoy
ed? Because few have been using
the instrumentalities OF the govern
ment.
"Some of the farmers are 80 blind
that you cannot get them to under.
stand that they not only have their
nose on the grindstone, but are turn
ing the grindstone. A New York dem
ocrat stated to me that If we had the
income tax the rich democrats would
leave the party. stated that I didn't
believe they would. didn't think
they would. I didn't know them as
well then as I did afterwards. I told
them thought they could get poor
| republicans to take their places, but
didn't know the poor republicans al
well then as do now. supposed thai
the cause that made rich democrats
leave the party to avoid just law
would make poor republicans go into
the party in order to secure the advan.
tages of this law. While the rich
democrats were watching the law t.
see how it affected them, the poor re
publicans were watching the party t.
lses that u did not get hurt.a

I He spoke of the faith the farmers
have in the leaders of their party. He
said he was in Iowa once and heard
republicans from the farm present,
who had brought corn stalk canes, and
would raise the canes and hurrah in
applause at the speaker. He told them
how the republican party had placed
tax on wooden goods for the benefit of
the farmer in order to lower prices for
wooden goods. And they hurrahed for
tariff on wooden goods. And every
thing he said was greeted with hur-
rahs and wave Of the corn stalk
canes. "Now, my friends, just as long
as the republican farmer will hurrah
for anything in the platform, no mat
ter what it is, just so long the repub-
lican party needn't pay any attention
to the platform"
Proceeding next to the discussion of
trusts, Mr.. Bryan said that no repub-
ican ever defended trusts until about
a year ago. Now many republicans
saw there are good and bad trusts.
They say that we must kill the bad
ones and preserve the good ones. He
said there is no such thing as good
monopoly, for it is not human nature
that men will refrain from using a
power that they have once acquired.
As the pold standard is creature of
law, so the trust is creature of legis-
lation. Republicans say that it is a
natural thing, the product of natural
forces, and hence cannot be controlled.
But we know the natural man and we
Ly,<u, !, o% bA &c @ys1r, tha Op,-
porate man, the creature of state laws.
The corporation is stronger than the
natural man, sometimes million times
stronger, and is able, for that reason,
to crush out all opposition. Again, the
corporate man is not limited as to age.
Why a man should support a party
that advocates trusts he was unable to
see, for, not only the republican, but
the democrat, the populist, gold stand
ard democrat, all men, in short, have to
pay the increased prices which are the
direct result of the greediness of the
trusts. The farmers are the victims Of
the trusts. He would have government
supervision of trusts, and if trust de-
sired to do business outside of any one
state, it must show that it has no wa.
tered stock, and that it is not trying
to monopolize any product.
Leaving these familiar questions, he
said he would proceed to the discus.
sion of two new problems. In the in
crease of the standing army from 49,.
900 to 100000 men he. saw that which
threatened the prosperity of our PEG.
pie. He said the republicans tried tc
increase the army before the war with
the Fiipinos was begun and after tht
treaty had been agreed upon with
Spain. The house granted the author
itv. but the democrats in the senate
killed the proposition. A vote for o,
against a standing army means a vote
for or against a colonial policy.

Both of these were republicans, and
not republican in either of those con-
crosses made an attempt to secure the
election of senators by the people. Re-
publicans do you know why?
LET me give you reason. I say
that the reason why the republican
congress did not try to secure to the
people the election of senators by di-
rect vote of the people was because
the corporations don't want senators
elected by the people. You cannot get
railroad attorneys for senators when
the people elect"
He urged the farmers to think about
it and ask themselves why they should
give to Legislators the right to pick out
their senator's. If there was no good
reason for it, then why has the repub-
lican party made no effort to secure a
reform in this direction2 He said he be-
lieved that it was because the republic
can party is more interested in looking
after the interests of corporations
than it is in protecting the rights of
the people. He said the people this
fall, have a chance to elect a senator.
Democrats, populists and free silver re-
publicans believe that the people
should elect senator's by direct vote.
They should this fall have an oppor-
tunity not only to vote for this, but to
support those who are trying to secure
for them the right to elect their own
senator's.
The republican party cannot be per-
suaded to legislate for the masses OF
the people, the plain people, as Abra-
ham Lincoln would say, but the man
who talks about the plain people is
called demogogue. He told the re-
publicans they could get some idea OF
the fall that has taken place in repub-
lican ideals, and republican ideas when
they remembered that the man who
today dares to speak Of the plain peo-
pie, as Lincoln did, is called dema-
gogue and an agitator.
"But I want to show you that the
republican party is not what it was.

place that I believe can convince eve

he brought up the question Of critics.
ing the administration while there is .
war in progress. If we do not criticise
the administration while the war is on,
and we thus agree to a colonial policy,
there will never be an opportunity to
criticise when there is not a war on
somewhere. In proof of this we have
only to look at England at the present
time and note where the war clouds
are gathering.
II we are to enter upon colonial
policy, the people have the right to say
something in regard to it, and that ia
what they do when they criticise the
policy of imperialism. Our friends call
it expansion and would make the word
Synonymous with progress. If we were
to take in some waste land adjacentto
our own country, fill 1t with our
own people, and convert the desert into
garden, such thing might be called
Expansion" but when we go across
the sea and impose our form Of govern
ment on foreign people, unwilling to
accept it, we are practicing imperial
ism" and will soon have an aggrega-
ton OF colonies, in each OF which laws
unlike those at home will be enforced.
In support of this the treaty with the
Sulu chief, in which slavery is recog-
nized, may be cited. Imperialism
means that here we tax ourselves,
there we tax them; here we govern
ourselves, there we govern with thir-
teen inch shells.
He next took up the three arguments
in favor of imperialism. First, the
financial argument, that there is money
in it; second, the religious argument,
that God is in it; third, the political
argument, that we are in it. Taking
up these one at a time, he attempted
to show the fallacy in each by quot
ing from Abraham Lincoln and other
men prominent in our history. He said
that in order to appreciate the benefit
OF the colonial policy we must consider
the cost in blood and treasure to con-
quer and to hold the Philippines. We
must next calculate the income from
these sources and determine what is
the gain, not only to ourselves, butte
the Filipinos and the world, OF a policy
maintained at such tremendous cost.

nings Bryan"
Bryan's Speech.
Mr.. Bryan said: IT esteem IL a
great privilege to be permitted to talk
ito the people of this vicinity in this
important campaign. You elect your
state officers this fall, and you elect a
Legislature which will choose senator,
and the senator elected by you through
your representatives will serve for six
years in the national congress and
there represent, or misrepresent, as the
case may be, the interests of the peo-
pie of this state. 1t is an important
election. I would that it were possible
to elect senator's by direct vote of the
people. I will venture that not one
farmer in ten in this state, more than
that, I will venture that not one repub-
lican farmer in ten fayors the present
method OF electing senators. Why
don't they change the method?
"Let me suggest in the beginning
something for the republican farmers
to think about when this meeting is
over. The fifty-third congress was
democratic; the ffty-fourth congress.
was democratic, and in both of these
congresses the house of representa-
tives, by two-thirds vote, submitted
resolution, providing for an amend
ment to the constitution electing sena.

democratic congresses made an etfort
to secure that reform. The senate
would not join, because the senate i.

reform.
