register for the Republic new birth of
freedom"

"Mr. Chairman and Gentleman of the
Committee: 1 can never fully discharge

countrymen for the honors which they have
SO generously bestowed upon me; but, sirs,
whether 1T be my lot to occupy the high Of

republic resting securely upon the founda-
ton stones quarried by Revolutionary pa
triots from the mountain Of eternal truth
| a republic applying in practice and pro-
claiming to the world the self-evident
proposition that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed with nalienabie
rights; that governments are instituted
among men to secure these rights; that
governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed. Behold a re-
public in which civil and religious liberty
stimulate all to earnest endeavor and in
which the law restrains every hand uplift-
ed for neighbours injury-a republic in
which every citizen is a sovereign, but in
which no one cares to wear a crown.
Behold a republic standing erect while

in influence, solving the problems of civ

universal brotherhood-a republic which
shakes thrones and dissolves missionaries

few. Experience has demonstrated that
unjust tariff laws have deprived the Gov
eminent OF needed revenues, secured to
favored beneiciaries colossal fortunes and
largely increased to the people the cost of
the necessaries OF life. The balefui but
logical result of the tariff law condemned
by our platform Is seen in the sudden
growth OF giant monopolies, combinations
in restraint of k,wsll trade, and trusts,
more threatening tnan foreign foe to the
existence of popular government. Believ-
ing that wherever there is a wrong there
must be a remedy the Democratic party
will favor such legislation as will curb the
spirit of monopoly and place an effective
barrier against the unlawful combinations
of capital which now prove an insuperable
obstacle to legitimate enterprise and in
vestment. The deadly power of the trust
is felt in all channels of trade.

1T is not strange,

THE pecuniary argu-

scented with so much

gious argument. If what

urged against the Fill
