 "If 1t is socialism to believe in the revision Of the tarlff, so as to let the burdens of taxation fall less heavily on the necessities and more on the luxu- ticies entering Into competition with articles controlled by trusts. then MT. Bryan Is c socialist, for he stands for a reduction that tends to restore the tariff to a revenue basis, with a just discrimination in favor of infant in dustries over articles produced by pro- tected monopolies.
 If 1t is socialism to seek to destroy all trusts, to prevent the rich from erushing out all competition by the weak, and allowing no individual or corporation. by combination, to control or nonopolize the entire business in any one commodity, then MT. Bryan is a socialist; for with no uncertain voice. in the name of Democracy. he has de- l be amply protected and encouraged in the enjoyment of all It's privileges, 1t must and shall not lay the weight of It's finger on any smaller concern or in- dIVidual to either destroy or lessen its producing power, else 1t. too, shall be controlled, even though 1t be necessary to blot out its existence
 "If 1t Is to be contracted to believe in States rights in it's widest sense giving the State government absolute control of all It's own affairs and for bidding Federal interference, only al- lowing such authority to be exercised in cases where state courts can give 1 no adequate relief, then MT. Bryan mas a contracted mind. for he advocates a State controlling Its own affairs. free | from Federal court injunctions and | habeas corpus. only granting the right | of a centralized court power in cases | where no remedy can be offered by the State as In the matter of the preven- | tion of monopoly, the regulation Of in- | terstats commerce and the preserVa- | ton of interstate resources Ana as | declared by MT. Bryan, there IS no | twilight zone between the State and l nation in which exploiting interest can | take refuge from both, for where one | ends the other begins. MT. Bryan is
