BRYAN SPEAKS ON JEFFERSON.

more deeply rooted than another in
the mind of every American, it is that
we should have nothing to do with
conquest and at another time he
said: Conquest is not in our or1n-
ciples; it is inconsistent with our gov
eminent"
On the question of taxation ne ever
insisted upon its limitation to the ac
tual needs of government and upon
it's equitable distribution. He is ON
record in favor of the arbitration of
disputes between nations, and no one
who is familiar with his writings, can
doubt that he would favor arbitration
today of disputes between labor and
capital, and his views upon the en-
croachments of the judiciary and the
value of trial by jury make it GER
tain that he would, if living, oppose
what we know as government by in
junction.
All his arguments in favor of MAX
ing the government responsive to the
will of the people can be adduced in
support of the movement that has
for it's object the election of Senators
by direct vote OF the people. On the
subject of finance he not only favored
bi-metalism, but he expressed his OPP
position to a bank currency and to
the control of the national treasury
by financiers.
He lived before the invention of
the railroad, and before the country
mad witnessed the colossal centraliza-
ton of wealth, but viewing, as he
did, every question from the stand
point of the people, and hating, as
he did, every attempt to divert the
profits of industry from the producers
o the idle holders of idle capital,
we have a right to assume that he
would today stand with the people
FOR the regulation of railroads and
the determination of private monopo-
ly.

THE HOPE OF DEMOCRACY.

The campaign of 1904 showed that
the only hope for the Democratic
party is to stand earnestly for the
rights of the people-against tariff
and trust special privilege in the Re-
public; corporate domination and
scandal in the State; and against pri-
vate ownership of public utilities with
the consequent political debauchery
in the city.
In the State of Illinois last year
the Democrats elected only one Dem
ocrat to Congress, Hon. Henry T.
Rainey. In closing his response to
the toast Problems of the Future
at the Jefferson banquet in New York
last night, Mr.. Rainey said:
I'm my own State, which last year
gave the greatest Republican major
ity it ever gave from the great city
by the Lake, comes the first news of
decisive victory. The fight there was
made by the radical Democracy along
progressive Democratic lines against
the greed of great corporations, and
it won, and the shouts of the victors
are bringing back courage to Demo-
Gratis throughout the land. 1t is the
first great victory of the re-organized
Democracy-there are many more to
follow. The movement now is for
ward. The breach between the par
ties is widening. The fight for the
people has commenced. A militant,
progressive, triumphant Democracy
proposes now to claim its own"
Chicagos vote for municipal own
ership sets the pace. The owners of
watered stock will put many obstacles
in the way, subservient Federal judges
may delay the reform, but just as
sure as the masses and not the classes
can rule in this country public own-
ership of all utilities is coming. In
espousing the cause of the masses lies
the hope of Democracy.

A VALUABLE EDITION.

The Carthage Blade this week is
one of the best papers ever printed
in the State. 1t is a history of Pres
byterianism in the good Scotch county
of Moore, with pictures of early min
listers and present leaders of the
church. The articles are well writ
ten and the story is one of the most
interesting of church histories in the
State. The Scotch, who settled in
North Carolina early, established a
church and a school wherever they
formed a settlement-and the kirk,
the school and the manse of the Pres
byterians have had much to do with
all that is best in the life of North
Carolina.
