The People Are the Only Source Of Power--- This
Doctrine Must be Made Safe From Attack
1.-The Issues Discussed.

administration proves conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
the desire or ability to deal with the
question effectively. If, as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Republican leaders, that
party does not intend to take the peo-
pies side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condem-
nation of trusts to be found in the Re
publican platform is designed to dis
tract attention while industrial despot-
ism is completing its work. A private
monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defense can be made of an indus.
trial system in which one or few
men can control for their own profit,
the output or price of any article of
merchandise. Under such a system
the consumer suffers extortion. the
producer Of raw material has but one
purchaser, and must sell at the ar
bitrary price fixed; the laborer has
hut one employer, and is powerless
to protest against injustice, either in
wages or in conditions of labor; the
small stockholder is at the mercy of
the speculator, while the travelling
salesman contributes his salary to the
overgrown profits of the trust
Since but small proportion of the
people can share in the advantages Sc
cured by private monopoly, it follows
that the remainder of the people are
not only excluded from the benefits,
but are the helpless victims of every
monopoly organized. 1t is difficult to
overestimate the immediate injustice
that may be done, or to calculate the
ultimate effect of this injustice upon
| the social and political welfare of the
people. Our platform, after suggesting

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1S-Mr. Bryan's
letter accepting the Democratic NOM
ination for President is substantially
as follows:
Hon. James D. Richardson, chair
man, and Others Of the Notification
Committee of the Democratic National
Convention &c tsentlemen: In accepting
the nomination. rendered by you on be-
half of the Democratic party, beg to
assure you of Interpretation of the
great honor colifeftca upon me by the
delegates in convention assembled, and
by tho voters who gave instruction to
the delegates.
1 am sensible of the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
of so great nation and realize the far
reaching effect of the questions involv-
ed in the present contest.
In nv letter of acceptance of 1896
made the following pledge;
80 deeply am impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested by
the constitution in the chief executive
of the nation and with the enormous
influence which he can WELD for the
benefit or injury of the people, that /
wish to enter the Office if elected, free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy of the conf
dence of my countrymen. Human
Judgment is fallible enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations. and,
in order that may not be tempted to
use the patronage of the Office to ad'
vance any personal ambition? l here
by announce, with all the emphasis
which words can express, my fixed de-
termination not, under any circum-
stances. to be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. in case this campaign results in
my election"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unquali-
fed approval. y, 1t courageonsly meets
the issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity,
the party's position on every question

which assembled on the anniversary
of the signing of the Declaration OF
independence, it breathes the spirit of
candor, independence ana patriou'sin

Philadelphia in 1776, promulgated the

Having in my notification speech
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism aud added
some observations on milltarism, an(
the Boer war, it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining plank'
of the platform.g

the party's position upon this subject
in unequivocal terms.
The currency bill, which received the
sanction of the Executive and the Re,
publican members of the House and
Senate, justifies the warning given by
the Democratic party in 1896. 1t was
then predicted that the Republican
party would attempt to retire the
greenbacks, although the party and
its leaders studiously concealed their
intentions. That purpose is now plain,
the retention Of the greenbacks, is.
sued and controlled In volume by the
government, and a national bank note
currency issued by banks and con-
trolled in their own interests. IL the
national bank notes are to be secured
by bonds, the currency system now
supported by the Republican party
involves IL permanent and increasing
debt, and, SO long as this system
stands, the financial classes will be
tempted to throw their powerful inhu.
ence upon the side of any measure
which will contribute to the size and
permancy of a national debt. 1t is
hardly conceivable that the American
people will deliberately turn from the
debt paying policy of the past to the
dangerous doctrine Of perpetual bonds.
After discussing the income tax, the
fNicaraguan canal project, the Monroe
doctrine, the demand for arbitration
between corporations and their em-
ployes and other planks of the Kansas
City platform, Mr.. Bryan concludes
his letter as follows:
The subjects, however, treated in
this letter, important as each may
seem in itself, do not press so imper-
atively for solution as the question
which the platform declares to be the
paramount issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall adhere to, or aban-
don those ideas of government which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations, and given to its history
it's peculiar charm and value, is a
question, the settlement of wnich can
not be delayed. No other question
can approach 1t in Importance; no 9th
er question demands such immediate
consideration. 1t is easier to lose u
: reputation than to establish one, and
this nation would find 1t a long and
laborious task to regain its proud posi-
tion among the nations, If, under the
stress Of temptation, 1t should repudi-
ate the self-evident truths proclaimed
by our heroic ancestors and sacredly
treasured during a career unparalleled
in the annals of time. When the doc
trlne that the people are the only
source of power is made secure from
! further attack, we can safely proceed
to the settlement of the numerous
questions which involve the domestic
and economic welfare Of our citizens.
Very truly yours,
w. ]. BRYAN.

How to

Here is a straight tip
from a newspaper called
Brains: There is only one
right way to advertise and
that Is to hammer your
name, your business and
your location so constantly
so insistently and so thor
oughly into the peoples
heads that if they walk in
their sleep they will in
stinctively turn their heads

The hodcarriers Of this city will
demand 70 cents an hour On and
after May 9Th. Unless the demand
is granted then they will 70 on q
strike. The hodcarr:ers 10 Balti.
! more are on a strike. Last Monday
800 of the organized hodcarriers
went out. and declared their inten-
ton OF staying out until their de.
mand for higher wages IS complied
with by the contractors. The d.
rect result of this strike. which was
entirely unforeseen and unexpected,
has been serious delay in the
erection of new buildings in every
section OF the city.
The carriers decided on their
action on Saturday, March 81, at a
meeting of the Hodcarriers' Union,
William Brooks, president, held at
their hall on North Paca street.
Only one demand is made and that
is for more money. The wages
hitherto paid have been - a day.
The demand now is for $3.50 a dav,
and it is stated that the strike has
been so ingeniously planned and
the union is in such a strong condi-
ton that there is little doubt the
carriers will win their fight.
Atlantic City. April AT a Sc
cret meeting last night the local
branch of the Painters and Deco
rators of America decided that all
union men in this city working for
bosses. who would not advance their
wages from 81 to $3.50 per day
would 20 out OH strike today. There
are twenty bosses in the city and
sixteen of them have signed the
scale. The other four stated that
they would not accede to the de-
mands of the union and the painters
did not go to work today.
1t is understood that there will be
a general and concerted strike by
the union working men OF Atlantic
City on April l9 unless the builders
and contractors accede to the de-
mands of the union men. The car

The Police Commission.

! Sergeant Harry o. Welsh was
before the Police Commission last
night, charged with entering the
Hotel Wilmington while in Uniform
when not on police business. The
charges were sustained, but no ac-
ton was taken regarding the dis
position OF the case. The evidence
was conflicting. Policemen Riley,
Mcbride and Solomon said they
saw the sergeant go into the vesti-
bule OF the hotel and receive some
thing in glass.
Mcbride said it was a liquid and

time they received cigars, but did
not 60 into the building. The SER
geant denied the charge, saying he
received cigar in the glass. The
bartender and bell.boy said the

never gave him anything to drink.
