A GREAT DEMOCRAT ON DEMOCRACY.

When the present time has passed into history and
the issues which harass us today settled for
veal for and new issues have sprung up the
result of the eternal conflict between right and wrong

League will be referred to and quoted great

The principles OF democracy, Mr. Bryan takes
occasion to show have existed from the very begin
nings of human society, and will last long as so.

great founder OF the democratic party whose profound
philosophy sounded all the depths of human nature
and measured the height and breadth OF human gov,
eminent as saying that there are but two permanent
parties the aristoerac and the democratic that these
two parties existed in every country and that where
there freedom to think, speak and write, these
parties would become apparent.
Taking this saying OF Mr.. Jefferson as a text Mr..
Bryan proceeded to show that the struggle between
these two parties is unending one that the ariso.
cratic party contends for government by the few the
democratic party for by the people, that
the former is the party of privilege the latter the par
ty of equality; that arrayed against each other in
these two parties greed the one side and human
rights the other.
With measured phrase and the calmness of assured
conviction. the great democrat expounded the princ
pies of the party of Jefferson and of Jackson The ad

his auditors there is little rhetoric few flowers of
speech There is nothing of the stump in the matter
