states can pest deal. Inc only ef1ec-
tive remedy. if not a final one, is to
deprive monopolistic interests of the
special privileges which. at the cost
of the rest OF us. produce the mono
poles.
Senator Carmack followed and for
nearly an hour and a half held the at
tention of his hearers. His discussion
of the trust issue brought forth APP
plause, which was repeated frequently
during his argument on the Philippine
question. Senator Carmack said
Carmack on Roosevelt.
After dwelling at considerable length
upon the departure of the Republican
party of to-day from the landmarks
set by its founders, Senator Carmack
said that the concentration of wealth
and power in the hands of a few men
threatened the succession of the repub-
lie by a deSpotism of force and cur
ruption, operating for a time within
the hollow form of a republic, until at
last even the form shall perish with
the reality of freedom.
Adverting to what he termed %resi-
dent Roosevelt's crusade against mo-
nopoly and plutocracy, Senator Car
mack predicted that when that dis
tinguished statesman comes to under
stand, as he doubtless will, that the
Republican party has enthroned the
trusts and made plutocracy supreme
in the United States, he will prove
powerful and effective ally for the
Democratic party.
THE President" continued Senator
Carmack, lis now engaged in terrific
lingual. labial and laryngial assault
upon the trusts. He demands that
there shall be more and stronger laws
to curb their power. l have always
understood it to be the duty of the
President to advise Congress by mes
sage of such legislation as he thinks
| will promote the general welfare, But
our President is nothing If not original
and unique. He waits until Congress
| has adjourned, until the law making
power has been suspended until a po-
| litical campaign is on, and then tells
| the people from the hustings of the
| laws he intends to have enacted by
| some other Congress at some other
| time.
III" the speaker said. further on.
| you wish to deal effectively with
| monopoly, If you want to suppress the
| trusts, you must put a party in power
| that means to do 1t. We know that the
! Republican party will not even try, be-
cause it belongs to the trusts body and
soul. We know that the Democratic
party will try to destroy the trusts IL
| for no other reason than that the
| trusts are trying to destroy the Dem
| ocratic party
| Senator Carmack censured the mill
| tary administration in the Philippines
for cruelties inflicted upon non-com-
batants, and for the employment of
| Macabebe savages and said;
you cannot justify the means I'M
less you justify the ends. The end in
| this case and the objects are to de-
| stroy the liberty of the people who but
| lately were your allies and your broth
ers in arms, and who had never Of
Tended you except by wishing to be
| free"
The Time VIII Come.
In conclusion, Senator Carmack. said:
Let me warn you who sneer at the
doctrines and sentiments we have
| been taught to revere that the time
| will come, in some hour of madness
and passion when you yourselves will
| appeal to the stirrer of the storm in
| the name of the old principles and the
| ancient faiths, and he will answer you
| out of the whirlwind and with your
own sneer. lie will tell you that you
| yourselves have taught him to despise
| the faiths and traditions of the past
| and to trust only in the opinions, the
sentiments and passions of the hour.
once unchain the spirit of revolu-
| ton and do not suppose that you can
| circumscribe or direct its work of de-
struction; do not suppose that 1t will
spare for your sake some nook or cor
ner of the constitution where you may
find shelter and protection. Say not to
yourselves, When the overwhelming
scourge shall pass through, it will
not come nigh unto u.s.
IF we would perpetuate this repub-
lie we must perpetuate those high pur-
poses that gave 1t life and are the very
breath of it's nostrils. If we would
resist the forces of disorder we must
preserve, intact and unbroken. the
walls which our fathers reared. and
stand fast by the citadel of the con-
stitution as by the Ark of the Covenant
of the Living God"
The presentation of Mr.. Bryan de-
veloped great enthusiasm. Cheers
greeted him as he stepped to the front
of the platform and he was several
times interrupted by demonstrations of
approval. He said:
What Mr.. Bryan Said.
81 am glad it is my privilege to come
here to join with you in the beginning
of your campaign of 1902. 1 am
glad to see representative of the
state of New York, a representative
of the Democracy of that state. When
he tells you what he believes to be the
dangers of the country, / am glad, as
/ am sure you are. to listen to the
man who gives honest expression to
an honest fear of danger. When he
gives advice, / am willing to listen,
for ! know that in 1900 he was willing
to throw aside the objections he had
to some parts of the Democratic plat
form and plead for the election of
the ticket that stood on
that platform. He has shown
his willingness to overlook
those things which he thought import
ant in order to secure victory for those
policies which he considered paramount
However much I may differ with him
regarding the relative importance of
questions regarding the precedence of
issues, / am willing to listen to the
opinion of any Democrat who proves
by his vote that he Is a Democrat.
81 am glad your committee called
from the South a representative of
Southern Democracy, and as delighted
as you have been to listen to his I'M
answerable argument on what l believe
to be the greatest Issue this nation
has ever had to meet in all its history.
l believe we are fortunate In that we
have men scattered all over the nation
as competent as these gentlemen to de-
fend the issues which they have pre-
sented.
II thought 1 might be of some SER
vice here in aiding those who desire
harmony in the Democratic party. I
think there is no Democrat between
the oceans that desires harmony more
than !, for no one has suffered more
than I from lack of it,
Dir. Bryan on Harmony.
