in the market through the control or
the government.
At Mercy Of. the Trust
eff the tariff were not thus artifici-
ally maintained such industries would
go on expanding.
"But the curtailment Of the plant,
with the formation of the trust, re-
duces tn demand for labor, and tends
to place the working man, as well as
the consuming public, at the mercy of
the trust, whereas the expansion of the
plant to win the markets of the world
would increase the demand for labor,
and thus cause an advancement of
wages along with reduction in the
cost of living.
"The export articles sold abroad are
sold in most cases cheaper than at
home, to the competitors of our home
workers, and instead of protecting us
protect our foreign competitors.
1.-THE whole system is vicious, filling
the treasury to overlooking at times,
producing extravaganza and producing
inadequate revenues at other times,
tending to cause deficits, with the ne
cessity of issuing bonds, reduction of
the credit of the government, panic and
depression. 1t has come no longer to
be a protection but curtailment of
| the industries.
'Tt produces multi-millionaires in so
| short time that it is bad for the null
| -millionaires themselves, while it
keeps always an enormous corruption
fund to control the press and educate
the public in error, and to buy the float
ing vote and debauch our institutions
themselves.
"Yet, whenever it is proposed to re-
wise the tariff they tell us to wait un-
til after election, and, If past expert
ence is repeated, such a revision would
be upward, instead of downward.
"Thus, on every count, we find the
party in power guilty, while the lib
eral party, not in power, has come out
squarely for all the reforms now de-
manded by the people; a checking of
Capitalization; curbing the tendency to-
ward executive and judicial usurpation,
particularly in the matter of injunc-
ton; economy and efficiency in the ad-
ministration Of government; the restor-
alton of the house of representatives
to the control of the people; the cleo
ton of United States senators by the
direct vote of the people; honesty In
elections through the publication of
campaign contributions and the guar
antee to the people, where the govern
ment is concerned, in banking against
the loss of their honest savings.
"A1l these legitimate reforms are con-
servatively planned and carefully out
lined in the Democratic platform, on
which stands a man unsurpassed In
mentality Of absolute honesty and of
perfect devotion, who for years has
been the very exponent of these re-
forms, while on the other side we have
the father of injunctions, standing on
a platform that rejected all OF Mr..
Roosevelt's reforms, Mr. Roosevelt
having made a deal at Chicago, where
by he was given the selection of his
choice for successor while the reac-
tionaries and stand-patters were al
lowed to write the Republican plat
form and to select the vice president.
'Mr. Countrymen, can you doubt
which to select? =
"When YOU go to your booths No
vernber 3 vote for true reform and for
the greatest reformer of modern times,
the Honorable w. ]. Bryan"
