BRYAN and Dubois
Mr.. TOwne was in good voice and
made one of the best speeches in his
Idaho itinerary. He said Jefferson
headed the revolt against Hamilton
1anism- He represented Democratic
IDEAS as opposed to the semi-nOnarch-
lai ideas OF Hamilton. His fundamen-
tai proposition may be summed up in
the phrase, Equal rights to all she
cial privileges to none" He founded
the Democratic party on the ideas con-
tanned IN the Declaration of IndeDend-
ence.
In time the Democratic party grew
corrupt. It drifted away from the
teachings of the founders of the party
Lincoln and his followers came out to
bring the people back again TO Jeffer-
sonian principles. 1t was to restore
the federal government to the princi-

FIRST attempts of the few to control the

In fact in these countries a monetary /

It might seem like bringing Goals to /
New Castle to discuss the silver ques- |

out of the Republican party in 1896 had |
gone back. he would do so.
At this point Mr.. TOwne entered into |
an elaborate and clear discussion of |

Cause for Prosperity.
Mr.. Towre said that the present
prosperity of the United States is due
To the increase of the money volume /

administration. We now had $500 GOO. 600 /
more money in this country than we
had in 1895
Prosperity is not confined to the J
United States but is world wide, and
as money is world substance like air.
It's increase makes general prosperity.
