sonian Democracy"
MR. CAMPBELL'S ADDRESS.
1.-The political party founded by Thorn
as Jefferson cannot survive half Demo-
cratic and half Populistic.. There must
pure Democracy. 1t is true that many
thousands of us will, again support the
nominees of our party, no matter into
what mistakes it may fall, but it is equal
ly true that many other thousands will
forever abandon the party IL 1t again
SupplantS truth with error. Democracy
means the opportunity, elevation and
reign of the individual, but Populism is
that perverted form of socialism which
can lead only to the thralldem of the
individual, and the enthronement of the
plutocrat
The Chicago platform enunciated many
great and enduring truths, but it coupled
them to at least one fatal error-the un-
Jenersonian and (under existing CONNER
cial and industrial conditions), the i'm
possible proposition of 16 to l.. "A ma
Jority of the electors of the country were
the true forms of mononne tallism they
chose gold. By this choice they were
not only saddled with the gold standard
but also with a financial bill which Gre
ateS that most powerful and dangerous
OF all trusts-a money trust. 1t is suffi-
c1ent to know that 16 to is dead, but
just so long as we. proclaim our inten-
ton to resurrect it, Just that long will
our resurrection be postponed.'
Mr. Campbell declared the army of
voters had plenty of work, at good wages.
Continuing, he said:
1t will be hard to enlist their CO.
operation to destroy oppression in Puerto
Rico or stay imperialism ia. the Philin
pines, unless We first abandon the men-
ace to their own PROSPERITY
Not only did the tuSion with Popu-
to such issues are sure to do, but de-
feat did not seem to teach us ANYTHING
The party of Jefferson has ever since
continued to masquerade in the livery of
fopullSm, swearing eternal fealty to doc
trlnes voted down again and again by
the people until, in successive years the
electlon returns show it has fallen lower
and lower in public estimation Eighty
millions of people are crying for relief
against plutocracy of wealth, which is
ABOUT to enSlaVe them, and the military
imperialism abroad is no more imminent
or dangerous than the monetary monop-
olism which faces US at home, nor is
government by Injunction less evident
IMAM government by syndicates.
LABOR is coefced as atsCoeur d'Alene:
lreates are made contrary to the Mon
roe doctrine and bind us up to the char
lotS or European potentates. The con-
sStltutlon of the United States is de-
pauched and reconstructed until we ara
uncertain OF our own rightsz-certain duly
tnat our unhappy captive lands have no
rights that white man is bound to re-
spect; scandal in army contracts, pur-
chases of ships, sales of customs houses.
favored bank deposits and in all other
forms of money grabbing are rife on
every hand, great corporations already
glutted with profit, are to sbe subsidized
under the preteXt of restoring our wasted
merchant marine.
rms may be our last stand Let the
party of plutocracy once more succeed
and the franchise and election status
WIFI become the powerful weapons where
by the Democratic South shall be de-
prived of their rights understhe tattered
:, II the men of the South love Popu-
adbaI aSfn more re than they love truth, let them
adhere to 1t; let them again fling to the

10 TO and once. moreWand for all drive
fhe the, knife into the, yitals of 9effersonian
democracy. Their duty of repentance
Will come, but it will then be TOO late.
But this evil day must not come A
glimpse of light, which may herald the
rising sun of Jeffers0nian restoration,
qaWned few days ago in the state of
pennsylvania. No mention was made of
the Chicago platform; nothing was said
ABOUT Is to 1, but, gathering from high
way ana byWay. every shred of Jeffer-
Sohlan doctrine, they constructed a creed
mat no true Democrat dare repudiate.
Let us hope. and hope that this NAV
be the harbinger of what shall occur
at Kansas City on the nations birthday.
