steadily growing, became almost uni
yersal during the recent panic.
so insistent became the voice of
the people that the president sent
special message TO congress urging
the establishment of postal savings
banks where the earnings of our
people might be safely deposited I'M
der the direct control and RESPONSE
bility of the federal government, and
where no specializing bank cashier or
gambling board of directors could
eat up the savings.
The United States senate showed
| its hearty sentiment with this popular
demand and its profound respect for
| the pre- sident, by adjourning while
1.-THE message, was being read, while
even in the house If representatives

cation that had been sent there from

that are forcing our children into the
labor market.
Reign of Monopoly.

pendent livelihood among those who
are forced into the industrial field,
and thus is doubly blighting that hope
Of youth which in former stages Of
our national growth opened an ave
nue. of honor and independence to
every child reared upon our soil.
- The most palpable instance of the
/ insincerity OF the Chicago convention
/ is found in its declaration respecting
F.! the issuance of injunctions. 1t would
have been entitled to more respect IL
! it had omitted all mention of the sub
! ject.
cat session after session of con-
gress labor has pleaded for relief
from the abuse of injunctions, but
| its appeals have fallen on deaf ears.
and there has been no indication that
remedial legislation of any charac-
ter would be enacted. The oligarchy
/ in house and senate has decided that
nothing shall be done to weaken any
advantage that corporations have
gained in labor disputes.
THE fact is that all our citizens,
without respect to station or OccuDa-
ton in life. have genuine respect for
the courts and desire to maintain
their integrity. The charge that the
courts are being assailed is simply
for the purpose of diyerting atten-
ton from the real issue.
| Heretofore it has not been con-
sidered treason or an unwarrantable
iattack upon 1he honor of the courts
to define their jurisdiction, prescribe
their procedure, restrict their pro
cesses and generally to fix the bounds
within which judicial functions shall
be exercised.
No Reflection on Courts.
ct mixes no difference whether the
courts were citing in excess of their
Jurisdiction or strictly within their
delegated powers. In either case the
people have a right to throw addition,
ial safeguards around human liberty.
There can be no reflection upon the
honesty of the courts in the passage
of a measure that will confins the
Iequfty powers of the federal Judicial
Iry within such bounds as the people
Iof the United States, through the
legislative branches of their govern
ment may determine.
This Democratic convention must
frankly. firmly and unequivocally
pledge itself to such legislation az
will prevent the writ of injunction
from being converted into an instru-
ment of oppression.
We have something to do in this
convention besides pointing out evils
and calling the Republican party tn
task for the part it has played in
creating and perpetuating abuses.
Democracy is once more called to the
arena to battle for the sacred princi-
Iples of self-government 1t must
wage an uncompromising war for the
return of the government to the hands
Of the people, and this means that
the phalanX of special interests must
be broken.
Revision of Tariff.
THE triumph of the people can
come only through the Democratic
party, for the life of its chief politi-
zeal opponent is so absorbed into the
artificial life of the monopolies and
trusts that it excludes the hope that
the Republican party will ever be
able, or willing, TO regain a separate
existence where it can honestly dis
Echarge its duty to the people.
With the power and opportunity
to carry out Democratic principles We
will be called upon to revise the tar
if laws in interest of the whole PEG
PIE. This issue cannot be disposed Of
10y the assertion that the Republican
party also stands for tariff reform
Republican revision and Democratic
revision are two different things.
The Democratic idea is that where
the tariff enables the trusts to main
tain system Of extortion, the duty
should be removed from all trust
made goods, so that competition from
abroad may compel reasonable prices
to our own people. There is a vast
difference between the protection Of
American industries and the protec
