The Forrest City times., 1908-07-10

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 vast difference between the protection of American industries and the protection of crim. inal monopolles.
 The expenses of our government. even when most economically admins. tered, will always require substantial tariff rates, for the customs duties will always be our chief source of revenue The amount and distribution of these rates must always be delivered along equitable lines, keeping in view the greatest happiness to the greatest number and particularly withholding the shelter of the tariff from those who use it. not for legitimate self-pro- lection, but for the criminal purpose of extorting the last dollar from the American consumer.
 The corrupt use of large sums of money in political campa gns Is large. ly responsible for the subversion of the peoples will at the polls. The masses are awakening to a realization of the great power of gold in contests that ought to be determined according to the character of nominees and the soundness and morality of political is- sues; and there is general demand for publicity in the collection and use of campaign funds so that our citizens may know whether political party has purchased it's way Into office or has won its victories by honest means. In the Chicago convention a minor ity report of the committee on reso- lutions, containing declaration in favor of publicity was overwhelming ly defeated upon a roll call of the con vention and the Republican party placed itself squarely upon record in favor of cOncealing the names of the contributors and the amounts of their subscriptions. By a vote of 52 to I in the committee, and a vote of more than ten to one in the body of the con vention they confessed their guilt. They thus admitted the charge so ire quently made by our party that Re publican success in the past has large ly depended upon the vast sum. of money collected from the great monop- lies of the country and corruptly used in the conduct of it's campaigns Let the voters Of this country seriously consider whether the refusal of the

undertake to direct the affairs of state. The public eye is keeny sensitive to every political movement, and our proceedings here will be approved ac- cording to the degree of sincerity ap- bearing in the work of this conven- tion. There is a widespread belief, founded upon evidence of a convincing character. that the party in power has not been true 10 its trust. that it has betrayed the common interest into the hands of the enemies of good gov ernment. thereby forfeiting it's right and destroying it's ability to rule in the name of the people
 Apparent to everyone is the fact that way down deep in the heart of the Republican convention at Chicago there was feeling of anger and re- sentiment over the popular clamor for reforms; and 1t is equally patent that there is no bona fide intention on the part of the Republican party of grant ing any reforms, if the machinery of that party can be retained in present hands. Its paper platform. divided like ancient Gaul into three parts barren promises, makeshifts and eva sions-it is hoped will make good campaign transparency; but no one seriously believes the Republican par ty indorses that neutral manuscript which held the convention together until il could ratify the nomination of a presidential candidate.
 Among the great evils that affiict the country at the present time is the abuse of corporate power. At first the advancing aggressions of the cor porations are not discernible to the
The Forrest City times., 1908-07-10

steadily growing in this country. be- came almost universal during the re- cent 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 under the direct control and responsi- biilty of the federal government. and any member of the board of directors could eat up the savings of years.
 The United States senate showed it's hearty sympathy with this popular de- mand and its profound respect for the president by adjourning the senate while the message was being read: while over in the house of representa-. lives they refused to suspend the roll call of the house to receive the com munication which lad been sent there from the White House.
 The Chicago platform points with pride to the passage of the child-labor law for the District of Columbia. Let the Republican party go further than the enactment of penal laws and in the name of humanity use it's vast en- ergies for the removal of the condi- tions that are forcing our children into the labor market.
 The most palpable instance of the insincerity of the Chicago platform is found in its declaration respecting the issuance of injunctions It would have been entitled to more respect if It had omitted all mention of It. At session after session of congress labor has pleaded for relief from the abuses Of in1unctions. but appeals have allen on deaf ars and there has been no indication that remedial legislation of any character would be enacted The oltgarchy in house and senate has de- cided that nothing shall be done to weaken any advantage that corpora tons have gained in labor disputes
 The charge that the courts are being assailed is simply made for the pur- pose of diverting attention from the real issue. Heretofore it has not been considered treason or an unwarrant- able attack upon the honor of the courts to define their jurisdiction. pre- scribe their procedure. restrict their processes and generally to fix the bounds within which judicial functions shall be exercised
 It makes no difference whether the courts are acting in excess of their Jurisdiction or strictly within their delegated powers. In either case the people have right to throw addition al safeguards around human liberty There can be no reflection upon the honesty of the courts in the passage of measure that will confine the equity powers of the federal Judiciary within such bounds as the people of the United States, through the legisla. latiye branches of their government may determine. This Democratic con- vention must formally and unequivoc- ally pledge itself to such legislation as will prevent the writ of injunction from being converted into an instru- meat of oppression.

common eye. for every move Is care. fully covered up until sufficient politi- cal strength is attained to defy the protests of the people. Thus the con stant and insidlous invasion of the peoples rights finally results in spe. cies of arrogance and defiance so for. midable in its appearance that the body of the people. in fear of even worse aggressions, hesitate to exer. else their rightful authority over these colossal enemies of the common wealth. And so We behold a subver- sion of our free institutions, govern. ment voluntarily subordnating itself to selfish. private ends, special priv ilege. resorting to cunning, bribery and intimidation to maintain it's un- holy power. while the masses timidly hope that when avarice has at last reached the point of satiety it will then beneyolently permit the people to resume their rightful share in the gov ernment of themselves. Whenever the mutterings of the people become too threatening the cry of coniscation goes up and appeals are frantically made to the sacred rights of property. This is intended to alright the ears of honest men in the enjoyment of the fruits of their industry and thrift. and thus by playing upon their preju- dices and fears to deter them from casting their influence on the side of wholesome reforms. The cry of con fiscaton is the historic defense of usurpation. Let the people take warn. ing. Whenever the wrongs of today become the vested rights of tomorrow the nation is in deadly peril.
 Democratic Partys Position.
 The Democratic party is not the enemy of property; but to the con trary. it has always stood and will continue to stand firmly against every species of aggression that would de stroy or weaken the right of any man to enjoy the rewards to which his pa denee, his skill, his industry and his economy enroll him. Our party ap- proves that feeling of pride which al ways accompanies the possession of property, and it comments an indi- 'iuudi O"ucISillp III lUe SO1l that Will bring to the homes of America more of the conveniences, comforts and lux uries of life. Against the evils of special privileges we urge the benefits Of equal opportunity. in order that there may be more landowners, more homes, and more happiness among the masses.
 The Democratic party is not an ene- my Of all corporations. It recognizes their great value in the industrial world. Through the agency of incor- poration scattered wealth is brought together and given a driving force that it would not otherwise possess Great enterprises are thereby under taken and undeveloped resources of the country added to the wealth of the world
 No rational man can be opposed to corporations as such, and the asser- tion that the Democratic party is Waging an indiscriminate war against this convenient form of transacting business has no foundation in fact It is the abuse only of corporate power that we seek to eliminate.
 Control of Corporations.

Control of Corporations.

Viewed in the light of great moral institution the control of corporations should remain a question of common concern rather than a political one, but the shameful indecency of the Re publican party in permitting its forces to be controlled and operated by the most offending corporations of the country throws the problem into the political arena and compels the pub lie to choose between the Democratic party. that will. and the Republican party, that will not, place some re- strictions on incorporated greed.
