Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1899-06-07

The democrats in 1900 will wage un-
compromising war upon all trusts,
and the great creditors trust, organized
to outlaw silver as a money metal, will
be as vigorously assailed as it was in
1886. There will undoubtedly be
changes in the national platform.
New questions have already arisen, and
Others may yet arise before the repre-
sentatives of the party again assemble
in national council, but come what may
the battle for bimetallism will be con
tinued.
The money trust is ever on the alert
to enrich its followers by plunderinl
the producing masses. 1t is an enem,
to democracy.

William j. Bryan shows in the June
number of the "North American Re
view that the renaissance of Jeffer-
sonian principles is at hand for the fol.
lowing among other reasons: During
recent years organized wealth has taken
advantage of the lethargy of the people,
and the effort to place capital on an
equal footing with, if not above, labor
in the structure of government las pre-
dicted by Lincoln) is becoming more
and more apparent. The poison in the
blood has manifested itself in one form
and then in another, until at last the
people are awakening to a realization
OF the fact that the government has
drjfted from the ideals of the founders,
and with the awakening comes the ap-
peal to all who are in favor of restoring
the government to the principles of the
fathers. The ship of state may be in
trusted to other pilots during fair
weather, but, in the hours of storm, the
people turn to the Sage of Monticello,
the greatest of the worlds constructive
statesmen. Born an aristocrat, he be-
came the first conspicuous democrat;
reared among the owners of landed
estates he led a successful crusade
against the laws of primogeniture and
entail; rich for the time in which he
lived he championed the cause of the
common people. He had faith in the
patriotism of his fellowmen; and yet he
was conscious of the frailtes of human
nature, and his scheme of government
was to strengthen the public servant to
resist temptation, while it protected the
people against betrayal of the trust
reposed in their representatives. Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none was the rule which he applied to
all legislation. And how comprehensive
the rule. Applied to appropriations, it
would limit expenditures to the needs
of an efficient government, economic
ally administered; and it would protect
the over-burdened taxpayer from the
voracious tax-eater. Applied to taxa
ton, it would adjust the burdens of gov
eminent in proportion to the benefits
received. 1t would not permit the fed
eral government to rely entirely upon
internal revenue taxes, collected from
liquor and tobacco, and upon import
duties collected upon consumption gen
orally, because the taxes collected by
both these methods are, in effect, graded
income taxes, with the highest rate up
on the smallest incomes. This rule
would not permit the establishment OF
financial system designed to effect a
secret but constant increase in the
measure of value, for the benefit of the
holders of fixed investments and to the
detriment of tho 9 who produce wealth,
own property, or owe debts
