|[LIAM j. BRyANS LETTER OF A666P TAN6E

Gentlemen:-ln accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf of
the Democratic party. | beg TO assure
you OF my appreciation OF tn great
honor conferred upon me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and by
the voters who gave instruction TO the
delegates
am sensible OF the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
OF 80 great nation, and realize the
far-reaching effect Of the questions in
volved in the present contest.
In my letter OF acceptance OF 1896.
made the following pledge:
so deeply am | impressed with the
magnitude OF the power vested by the
Constitution in the chief executive OF
the nation and with the enormous in
fiuence which he can yield for the ben
eft or injury OF the people. that
wish TO enter the Office. II 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 I'M
biased by selfish considerations and.
In order thai | may not be tempted TO
use the patronage Of the office to ad-
vance any personal ambition. hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi-
nation not. under any circumstances.
TO be a candidate for reelection. in
case this campaign results in my cleo
ton"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. Ii courageously meets the
issues now before the country. and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the partys position on every question
considered. Adopted by a convention
which assembled on the anniversary OF
the signing Of the Declaration OF In
dependence, il breathes the spirit OF |
candor. independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who. at Phil
adelphia in l776. promulgated the creed /
of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech. I
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, imperialism. and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war. it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks OF
the platform.

does protest against corporations en-

organized for political purposes, and

Income Tax.

BY inadvertence the Income Tax
plank agreed upon by the Resolutions
committee. was omitted from the plat
form as read and adopted. The sub
ject. however. is covered by the re-
animation OF the Chicago platform
and | take this occasion to reassert
my belief in the principle which under
lies the income tax Congress should
have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary. and
an amendment to the federal consti
tuition specifically comforting such an
thority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time. In the hour OF
danger the government can draft the
citizen; II ought to be able to draft
the pocketbook as well. Unless money
Is more precious than blood. we can
not AFFORD to give greater protection to
the incomes Of the rich than to the
lives OF the poor.

The recognition contained in both
the Democratic and Republican plat
forms Of the right Of the Cubans to in
dependence, removes the general prin-
ciple involved from the domain Of par
tisan politics. II is proper. however.
TO consider whether tho accomplish
ment Of this purpose can be safely en-
trusted to the Republican party after
Il has yielded TO the allurements OF the
Colonial idea. and abandoned its ear
lier faith in the natural and inalien-
able rights OF man.

The Blacklist.

The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
Llace the employee under practical
duress. for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him. but prevent his
securing any similar employment.
The blacklist enables employers to Sc
cure, by mutual agreement. that con-
troll over the wage earners which a
private monopoly exercises without
contract.

Interstate Commerce.

Ihe Republican party has persist
entity refused to comply with the ur-
gent request OF the Interstate Com
merce commission. for such an en-
largement OF the scope OF the inter
state commerce law as will enable the
commission to realize the hopes
aroused by its creation. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to legislation
which will empower the commission
TO protect individuals and communi-
ties from discrimination. and the pub
lie at large from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.

Monroe Doctrine.

Wouroc u'octTtuc.
The doctrine enunciated by Monroe
and approved by succeeding presidents.
is essential 10 the welfare OF the
United States. The continents OF
North and South America are dedica-
ted TO the development OF free govern
ment One republic after another has
been established. until to-day mon
archial idea has barely a foothold in
the new world.
While 1t is not the policy OF this
country to interfere where amicabe
relations exist between European
countries and their dependencies IN
America. our people would lock with
disfayor upon any attempt on the part
! OF European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forcible sovereignty
over the people living on this side Of
the Atlantic
The position taken by the Republi-
can leaders. and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the Presidency, viz: That we cannot
protect nation from outside inter-
ference without exercising sovereignty
over its people, Is an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine. for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
the proposition to give to the Fiipinos
both independence and protection. IL
is equally applicable to the Republics
OF Central and South America. If this
government cannot lend its strength to
another Republic without making sub
Jects of its people, then we must
either withdraw our protection from
the Republics TO the south OF MS or ab-
sorb them. Under the same plea. that
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal TO its responsibility. Eu-
ropean nations have for centuries ex-
plotted their wards and il is sig
niiicant fact that the Republican party |
should accept the European idea OF a |
protectorate, at the same time that ii |
ADOPTS a European colonial policy |
There Is no excuse for this abandon
ment OF the american idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
OF century The ex-
pense 10 us has been practically moth
ing, but the protection has been beyond
value to our sister Republics III
Filipino Republic is erected upon the
ruins OF Spanish tyranny its protec-
ton by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
DC willing for any other European ma
Ion to have the islands. neither would
any European nation be willing TO pro-
yoke a war with us in order to obtain
possession OF the islands If we assert
sovereignty over the Filipinos We will

enemies; IL we protect them from out

The platform indorses the princi-
pie OF direct legislation. This is al
ready applied to the more important
questions in nation. state and city. 1t
rests upon the sound theory that the
people can be trusted. and that the
more responsive the government is to
the Will of the people. the more free
1t will be from misuse and abuse.
