form of government.

republican form of government.
1t is time, my friends, that those
who believe in the principles of JEFF
ferson should put aside all diff
ferences, uniting together in the
advocacy of that one great. broad
principle-equal and exact Justice to
all men, and special privileges to
none.
AS has been well said, perfection in
party platform is an idle dream
and infirmities in creed and defects
in leadership will always characterize
every party. The true question be-
fore every citizen always is the gen
eral attitude of a party on the vital
issues of the day, and whether in view
of that attitude, its success is not
the thing most to be desired.
Our government was not conceived
or formed as money-malling ma
chine, even for the benefit of all gov
erned, much less for the benefit of
particular classes or portions of the
governed. Its vital principles and its
browning merit are that it stands
for equal opportunities for all; that
by the maintenance of order and the
administration of justice il is design
ed to give every man free hand in
the struggle for the prizes of life.
This theory of the true functions of
government is the corner stone of
democratic faith, and is directly OPP
posed by the republican creed. BY
protective tariffs, by the most init
mate relations between the United
States treasury and the general mon
ey market, by subsidies to particular
industries, by an aggressive coloni-
al policy, and in other ways the re-
publican party practically holds out
the government as an engine for use
in the acquisition of private wealth.
Should Not FaIter.
These being the distinctive theories
of governments entertained by the two
great political parties in this country.
no professed follower of the demo
cratic faith. as taught by jefferson,
should falter in his duty. but should
put aside minor differences over speci-
al measures and unite with all who
believe in the cardinal principles of
the democratic party.
Let our party be inspired by the di-
y
taught by jefferson, and our leader
and our platform in the coming cam
paign be such as to give to the peo-
pie of the country evidence of our
sincere desire to serve the people
alone. and from the home of laGor;
from the fireside of the toiler; from
the hearts of all who love justice and
do equity; who wish and intend that
our matchless heritage of freedom
shall be the common wealth of all our
people, and the common opportunity
of our youth will come up prayers
for success and recruits fer the great
democratic hosts that will result in
removing from power the representa-
tives of special interests, and in plac
ing the administration of our gov
eminent in the hands of a peoples
faithful representatives.

The Question.

The burning question of the hour,
is whether there shall be continued to
number of vast monopolies, the
special privileges which the republi-
can tariff confers upon them. We have
come to a point in the history of our
country where it is necessary to de-
eide once and for all whether we are
to keep up a government for the peO-
pie. or turn it over to the domination
of wealth. We have had six years of
the steady growth of the power of
money under a tariff that stimulates
monopoIies. and under political
party that gets it's main support from
plutocrats and trust manipulators.
During that period there has been
formed vast combinations of capital
aCgregating nearly six thousand mil
lions of dollars, all of which are re-
ceiving direct and special benefits
from republican legislation. Such a
power of combined wealth as this, my
friends. is indeed a formidable foe
but if the opponents of plutocracy
and the believers in the cardinal prin
ciples of the democratic party will put
aside all .dissentions in their owT
ranks. and present a united and de
termined front to the enemy in the
coming political battle, l. for one
have complete faith that the people
Will wrest their government from the
control of these combinations oi
wealth. and put it back in the hands
of those who viii administer 1t in thu

Power for Favored Glasses.

OF the policies of the republican
party. it could never be more truly
said than now, that they all tend to-
ward the Capitalization of political
power in the federal government
and the Capitalization of wealth in
favored classes. Against such ten
denotes our party fights as against
the enemies of freedom. We believe
that the opportunities of material
prosperity which our country offers
should be equally open TO all. without
any special favor conferred by the
government upon any. The wealth
that all may make is not a menace,
but a strong buttress to free govern
ment. All men will protect what all
may hope to acquire, as the open
prizes of industry. thought and intel
ligence But the wealth that comes
from control and preversion of the
power of taxation that is gathered by
unjust laws from the labor of the
people, is the source of unrightful
discomfort.
Ours is not a destructive party. We
are not at enmity with the rights of
anv of our citizens. The democratic
party wages no war on property or
property rights. The true democrat
glories in the opportunity for in
dividual advancement under govern
ment such as ours. when rightfully
administered. and has only admira-
ton for the man who, asking nothing
from his government but equal and
exact Justice caryes out his own sue
cess. but the true democrat demands
that the blessing of government shall
flow like rain from heaven on the rich
and poor alike, and that his govern
ment shall not grant special privileges
to the few.

Mr.. Hurst's Address.
Mr.. Hurst's speech in opening the
meeting follows:
Fellow democrats: | was pleased
TO accept the invitation of your COM
mittee to preside on this occasion, and
to have the opportunity of address
ing the Chicago democracy in
advocacy of those cardinal
principles of democratic faith
which we profess. and upon the
ado ption of which we believe the
welfare of our country depends. While
these are cardinal and fundamental
principles, it seems to me that we can
not too often recur To the plain state
meut of those principles as enter
tanned by jefferson. the great foun-
der of our party. Jefferson believed
in equal and exact justice to all men,
and special privileges to none; in
peace. commerce and friendship with
all nations, and entangling alliances
with none; in economy in public eX-
penditure; in freedom of speech;
freedom of the press; freedom of
conscience, and the faithful observ-
ances of constitutional limitations.
In Analysing these principles of the
democratic party advocated by JEFF
ferson, we find one great principle
predOminates-that whatever govern
ment and laws can do for a people
must be done for all the people with
out granting special privileges or pre-
cedence to any class, or section or
grade of citizenship.
We, as democrats, believe that a
government administered in this spir-
it in such Il country as ours, will Sc
cure n larger measure of freedom and
prosperity to the people than has
heretofore been possible in the world,
and that il will be an example and the
inspiration of all mankind. To make
and keep ours such government; to
guard with Jealous care the right of
equal citizenship; to oppose with
earnest zeal the granting of special
privileges to any class, this is the high
and glorious duty of the democratic
party, duty that binds our party to
never ending warfare with the strong
est and most enduring forces of hui
man nature, the lust of power and
the lust of greed.
