For my soul would live on your tender

SO that we both were there?

SO obvious that no one will be heard to
gainsay it whenever or wherever 1t may
be announced.
But 1t does not follow that government
shall not use its physical power to protect
one man or one set of men in enjoying
quasi monopoly of business or enterprise
which he or they have originated and built
UP by their own intelligence, energy. labor
and foresight. We do not use the word
protect in the sense OF excluding all
others from rivalry with them, but in the
sense Of forbidding the others to deprive
them of what they have secured for them
selves by their own toll. So far as this is
monopoly, it is incumbent upon govern
ment to guarantee to all men the enjoy
nent Of their monopoly, for it is nothing
but protection to the citizen IN his pro-
perry rights.
It is by not attending to the distinction
between monopoly secured by legisla-
ton and business monopoly that has
resulted from labor inteiligently applied
that so much of envy and nlisconception
has come to take possession Of mems
minds They quote Jefferson and other
great men as authority for their oppos-
ton to monopoly. when they are simply
seeking the destruction of private rights
that Jefferson would never have sane
toned.
That sort of monopoly that results from
labor inteiligently applied is just as neces-
sary to progress and civilization as the
freedom of business and contract. which
alone can secure it. The corrective to any
injurious influences of such monopoly
is in the freedom of ali men. monopolists
and the rest, alike. II the monopolist
makes undue profits he will certainly have
rivals. Let a1ssmen be free.

for a cause which We knew TO De rignt,

FREEDOM TO ALL THE CoRREC

In a letter to James Madison, written
States was in its formation stages,
Thomas Jefferson said:
Il do not like in the Federal Constitution
first, the omission of a bill of rights, pro-
viding clearly and without the aid OF
sopfisms for freedom of religion, freedom
of the press, protection against standing
armies. protection against monopolies. the
eternal ana unremitting force of the ha-
beas corpus laws and trial by jury in all
matters of fact triable by the laws of the
land and not by the law of nations
Mr. Jefferson once said: Il have sworn
upon the altar of God eternal hostility
against every form of tyranny over the
mind of man." and his whole life was one
amending sermon upon this text. 1t IS
not surprising. therefore, that we should
find him Insisting upon q bill of rights
being affixed TO the national Constitution.
which should plainly proclaim the elemen-
tary claims of human right enumerated
by him in his letter TO Madison.
There are very few men who would not
to-day write with him in disclosing that a
bill of rights. with all the particulars he
has named, should have been pretixed to
the Constitution. And yet, one OF those
particulars, though uppermost now in the
minds OF men, IS liable to cause more
error and injury than all the others are
likely TO produce of good. We refer 10 the
restriction against monopoly
Everybody agrees that government
should not use its physical power, which
is the united strength of all the people
of the country. to confer upon one man
or one set of men an exclusive right to
use thing which. by nature. belongs 10
all the people in common. That is a truth

DANIEL AND BRYAN.

We print in another column an eloquent
and well merited tribute 10 our distn-
guished fellow-citizen, Major John W.
Daniel. in which our correspondent. who is
himself a noble VirgiDian, shows why
Major Daniel is worthy to occupy either
the second place or the first place on the
National Democratic ticket. All that he
says of Major Daniel was said by US III
our poor way. when The Times several
months ago suggested Major Daniel as
candidate for the Presidency.
Our Cuipeper correspondent and The
Times are not the only ones who beiaeVe
that Daniel is the man for the nomination
The Petersburg 1ndexAppeal says that
the suggestion of Senator Daniel as Wee
President on the ticket with William Jen-
rinss Bryan is, in a very important sense,
a case of putting the horse behind the
cart
But, strangely enough, there are many
people in Virginia who do not take TINS
view. Some time ago, when The Times
suggested Major Daniel as nominee Tor
the Presidency on the Democratic ticket.
there WAS d wall VI ilptN''t 'ttA
the State from certain sources Noihlfs
1lnkind was said about Major Daniel put
the politicians were in high feather be-
cause they thought that they had as
covered in this suggestion movement 10
inlure Mr. Bryan's candidacy, and they
gave evidence of the deepest resentment
So infatuated were they with the Nebras-
ka orator that they were unwilling 10 see
him dethroned. even by John w. Daniel,
of Virginia. Not that they loved Daniel
less. but that they loved Bryan more
Virginia would be proud, and feel hon
ored to have her worthy son (DanieD
AR. Bryans running mate is the way
one of the Bryan newspapers in Virginia
puts it.
Virginia would be proud 10 see Major
Daniel nominated for the Vice-Presidency,
but we protest against the intimation that
Daniel would receive additional honor
from being associated in secondary po-
sition on a ticket with William Jennings
Bryan.
The Franklin Democrat thinks
that il would be godsend TO these United
States 10 have John w Daniel at TINS
crisis in the Presidential chair, declaring
that 'he is to-day the most advanced ano
best equipped statesman of this age on
either continent" That is a strong say
ing but The Times believes that there is
no better man in the Democratic party
for the nomination than John w. Daniel
In point of intellect, in point of oratory,
in point of executive ability. in point of
craftsmanship. in point of Democracy, he
is the superior of William Jennings Bryan
every day in the year
If the Democratic party would promui-
gate an old-fashioned Democratic plat
form and nominate John w Daniel for
the Presidency it would carry every State
that il can possibly carry with Bryan as
the nominee except possibly one or two
of the Populistic States of the far West
and il would carry New York and other
Northern States, which it cannot carry
with BRYAN in the lead
