Onposes Socialism.

Socialism presents consistent theory.
but a theory which. fan my Judgment. doe
not take human nature into account. It,
strength Is In its attack upon evils the
existence Of which Is confessed Its weak
moss Is that Il would substitute new
disrasc-if not worse onc-for the dis
case from which We suffer. The socialist
Is honest I'm the belief that he has found
"A remedy for human Ills and he must bt
answered with argument. not with abuse.
Tho best way To- oppose socialism Is t.
remedy the abuses which have grown w
under lndividualism. but which are not q
necessary part of indivduaism. and tho
sooner the remedy Is applied the better.
But at this time | desire to centre your
thoughts upon the ovcrshadowing evil OF
the day-thc trust-with the plutocratlc
tendencies that result therefrom. II de-
mands a remedy. and the people are pre-
pared to administer heroic treatment.
The Democratic party offers solution
which Is both reasonable and adequate
"A solution I'm which timc-honOrcd princi-
pies are applied to new conditions
Not An Enemy to Property.
The Democratic party is not the enemy
Of property or OF property rights; 1t IS.
on the contrary. the best defender of
both. because II defends human rights.
and human rights are the only foundation
upon which property and property rights
can rest securely. The Democratic party
does not menace a single dollar legiti-
matcly accumulated; on the contrary, IT
insists upon the protection Of rich and
poor alike ia the enjoyment Of that which
they have honestly earned. The Demo-
cratic party does not discourage thrift.
but. on the contrary stimulates each IN
dividual to the highest cndeavor by as
surfing him that De will not be deprived

these are the twin pillars upon which plu-
tocracy rests. To take away these sup

party.
