Millionaire a Socialist.

New York, July 12.-J. G Phelps
Stokes, the young millionaire who for
several years has devoted himself to
work in the slums Of this city, has for
mally announced that he will cast his
lot with the Socialist party. The an
nouncement was made in letter to
the eX' cutive committee of t. e indie
pendence League, which was made
public today.
In the letter he declares that, while
he regards capital as necessary at pres
ent to the public welfare, he considers
ii so harmful when used selfshly that
its complete control by the people col
lectively is essential. He says also
that he is aware that the majority 81
those who uphold the present system
do SO on the assumption that il is 8
fair and just one. 1t is his belief, how
ever, as expressed in the letter, that
the so-called capitalist system as such
sis indefensible ethically and disas
trous industrially, through the ines
capable wage slavery to which it leads
and that it must be supplanted by &
more righteous system of cooperation
and mutual aic.n

Mr.. Brynn.s Views

Mr.. Bryan being in London and hat
ing access to American newspapers has
consented to explain his position OF
the present political conditions in this
county. He said
II notice that ! am now described
by some as conservative, and in order
that there may be no misunderstood
ing on that subject, permit me TO say
that in one sense always have been
Conservative. The Democratic policies
are conservative in that they emboby
old principles applied to new condi-
tons. There was nothing hew in prm
ciple in either of the platforms on
which | stood. We were accused of at
lacking property when, in fact, the
Democratic panty is the defender OF
property, because is tries to draw the
line between honest accumulation by

am more radical than was in 1906, and
have nothing to withdraw in economi-
cal conditions which have been under
discussion.
"The only question we discussed in
1896 on which there has been any APP
parent change is the silver question,
and that has not been changed in the
advocates of bimetallism, but in condl-
tons We contended for more money
and urged the free coinage of silver as
the only means then in sight of secur-
ing it. The increased production of
gold has brought in part the benefit we
expected to secure from the restoration
of tilyer. The per capita volume of
money in the United States is almost
90 per cent. greater than it was in 1896,
and the benefits brought by this il
crease have not only indicated the
quantitive theory of money, but have
proved the benefits of the larger amour
of money. No advocate of the gold
standard can claim the triumph of his
logic,
81 believe in bimetalism, and l be-
lieve that the restoration of silver would
bring still further prosperity, besides
restoring par lin exchanges between
gold and silver using countries, but |
recognize, as do all other blmetallists
whom / have met abroad, that the I'M
expected and unprecedented increase
in gold production has for the present,
removed the silver question as an issue
"While the money question has want
ed in importance, other questions have
been forging to the front, and to these
questions we must applyth same prin
ciples we applied to the money ques-
ton and seek to secure the greatest good
to the greatest number by legislation
which conforms to the doctrine ofequal
rights for all and special privileges to
none.
