Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-07-13

| all trusts, to prevent the rich from
 crushing out all competition by the
 weak. and allowing no individual or
 corporation. by combination, to control | or monopoliza the entire business in any one commodity. then Mir. Bryan is | socialist. for with no uncertain voice fin the name of Democracy. he has de
 handed that, while every business | fhall be amply protected and encour-
 aged i'll the enjoyment of all it's priv | ileges. it must and shall not lay the
 weight of its finger on any smaller
 concern or individual to either destroy
 or lessen its producing power, else it, | too, shall hh controlled, even though it
 be necessary to blot out its existence.
 If it is to be contracted to believe in
 states rights In its widest sense. glv- | ing the state government absolute con- l trol of all its own affairs and forbid ding federal interference, only allow 1 ing such authority to be exercised in
 cases where state courts can give no l adequate relief. then Mir. Bryan has | state controlling its own affairs, free i from federal court injunctions and habeas corpus. only granting the right | of centralized court power in cases | where no remedy can be offered by 1 the state. as in the matter of preyen- | ton of monopoly, the regulation of in l terstate commerce and the preservation l of interstate resources. And, as de- l clared by Mr. Bryan, there is no twi- ] light zone between the state and na- tion in which exploiting interest can i take refuge from both, for where one ! ends the other begins.
 | The Democratic party stands today i for the protection of all the individual 1 rights of every class of people and for l the upbuilding of the nations power 1 by recognizing the masses instead of ] classes and elevating the man created 1 by God over the dollar produced by [ man. It favors a just income tax, to 1 the end that wealth derived from in- 1 terest on bonds. stocks and other se- curities and property not now taxed shall bear its just proportion of the nations burdens. as well as an inher- 1 itance tax, to reach swollen and, alas! 1 often i'll acquired fortunes. We stand ! for exact justice between capital and 1 labor and favor every legitimate means
 for the adjustment of all disputes be- ! tween employers and employees, to the
 end that the property of capital shall
 not be destroyed and that those who l toll with their hands shall not suffer
 unjustly from the exactiOns of the
 rich.
 Today in no uncertain language
 arraign and denOunce the Republican
 party fr its hypocrisy and false asser- | tion, as set forth in its national plat i form at Chicago. In blatant assertion ! it assails the Democratic party as the 1 party of diversity and praises itself as
 the party of prosperity, when all read ing. thinking men remember the fact
 that the panic of 1893, with which to- 1 day they taunt us. commenced under 1 Harrison's administration and was l brought about by laws of Republican
 congress and transmitted to us before 1 MT. Cleveland took charge of affairs
 or a single congress had assembled un- ! der his administration; while all know
 that the panic of l90T-the worst in
 ages. with the Republicans boasted
 tariff and financial laws in full force
 and effect-happened at time when
 the executive. legislative and judicial | departments were all under the abso- i lute control of the Republican party and
 that breaking and dissoiving banks, assigning business interests, stringency
 fin the money market. employees out of
 jobs and empty dinner pails give the l lie to its cry of prosperity and prove it
 utterly unfit to control public affairs. I denouncc the assertions of the Re-
 publican party when 1t declares it | stands for Claw and order" equal
 rights to all, and no special privileges | to rich or poor: when it's protective
 policy has produced monopoly, built
 up the rich at the expense of the poor,
 and. hy injunctiOns and other writs in
 it's courts. shielded trusts, while deny
 ing to the laborer even the sacred
 right of trial by jury.
 | pass over with contempt, as un-
 worthy of a great party and brave
 people. it's sIurs and thrusts at the
 south. and it's attempt to gain votes
 by raising the cry of sectionallsm. for. ! standing here. the son of Confeder- ! ate soldier who died for a cause he
 believed just and right. and making no apology for the acts of my father, | deny as absolutely false the charge ! that the south is disloyal or untrue to | the Union, but assert that 1t yields to no section in love for our glorious flag 1 and devotion to the nations truest in terest. and we are brave and gener- ous enough to return to our enemies
 love for hate. and kindness for abuse. I likewise hold up before the gaze of a just people the miserable subterfuge 1 the Republicans placed fin their plat ' form as a remedy against government l by injunction. and criticise as coward. : ly their refusal. by a vote of Ss0 10 | 94. tO allow publicity as to the funds
 received in their campaigns. and the
 manner of using them. and from whom ' fried out or collected.
 | If yoH want a man. pure yet strong.
 brave but tender. generous and still ' patriotic. the very highest type of ' American manhood. against whom can { be charged no act Of disloyalty. dis
