While the publican party is in
power the trusts will flourish like "a
green bay tree
When the Democratic party comes
into power 4 Democratic President will
appoint n Democratic Attorney Gener-
al who will enforce the law against the
trusts. and they will dissolve and dis

and be gone forever.
: Now, my friends, a few words in
| conclusion. We are entering u most
terminc the question whether the trusts
| on the Government shall survive
| Whether the people or the plutocrats
| shall rule--whether this land shall con-
tinue 10 be Government of the many
| for the many or an oligarchy OF the
privileged and for the favored few. You
ask ne what will the outcome be?
cannot tell you, but believe history
repeats itself-ihat God in his infinite
WtsdUHI Ta1scs up e NIIn TOM tie plain
people for every crisis. and in the pend
| ing crisis we have such Il MANA born
leader of men-whom we can all trust
ana whom we can all follow-and who
vii, lead us to victory, and rescue the
people from the money lenders and the
money changers.
a hundred years ago the Demo-
] cratic party-the party of the plain
| peoplc-after most momentous cam
Daign, came into power under the
| matchlcsS leadership of it's famous
founder, Thomas Jefferson, and the
impetus his administration gave to
| popular government carried forward
free institutions unimpared for a CEN
fury.
I'VE are beginning another momen-
tous campaign under the leadership of
| second Thomas Jefferson-thc stall
wart the fearless, the gallant, and the
intrepid young leader of Nebraska
William j. Bryan-to test the perpetu-
ny OF popular government and OF our
Tree institutions, and by the grace of
God and the power OF the free men or
America, he will win. and the impetus
his administration will give the gov
eminent of Jefferson, of jackson,
| and OF Lincoln, will carry it forward
unimpaired for another century, and
generations yet unborn will sing the
gladstone song that the government of
the people. by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from the
earth"
