We cannot agree with the Socialists that pri-
vate ownership is wrong in principle. In Our
opinion, if the product of individual toilers is
given to the State, instead of to the Individual
who produces it, the incentive to production is
destroyed. Our view of the matter is that indi-
vidual property simply represents in it's last
analysis, the plan adopted by the society for
the purpose of guaranteeing to the individual
the product Of his own toll.
BETWEEN THE PLUTOCRAT AND
THE SOCIALIST, POPULISM TAKES ITS
STAND. We occupy the sane middle ground
between the extremists who want nobody to
own anything and those extremists who want
a few people to own everything. If the gov
eminent were dominated by the principles of
Populism, we should neither have millionaires
nor paupers. Legislation would not have for
it's object the enrichment of a favored few, but
would keep before it's eyes always the motto of
Equal and exact Justice to all men without
Special Privileges to any"

What P0pnliSn1 Is.

VnGE OVN4ESm ~.
The principles of each church are fixed, per-
manent, eternal. Those things which make
Baptist Of the confessing Christian today made
him Baptist hundreds of years ago. Those
things which influence the citizen to become
Methodist today are precisely the same things
which influenced people to Methodism hun
dred years ago. So it is with all the churches
Ones religious faith, therefore, is not matter
to be changed by the votes of Conferences, As
sociations and Synods.
Next in sanctty and Importance to ones re-
ligious faith should come his political creed
In this country we have no king and no aris-
tocracy to rule us. We are the kings and we
rule ourselves, therefore, those principles by
which we think the legislation of the country
should be controlled and governmental policies
directed should be next to our religious con-
vcitions.
What makes Republican?
First: A belief in the gold standard which
is unconstitutional, and which is most in furious
to the great masses of the people.
Second: A high protective tariff which gives
to the American manufacturers a monopoly of
the home market, shuts out for his benefit the
competition of foreign manufacturers, Upon
the plea that it will enable the American man
ufacturers to pay high wages to his labor
ers, whereas the actual figures show that he
pays no greater wage than is paid abroad,
while the doors of immigration are kept open
IN order that he may bring in the foreign la
Dor to compete with the home aborer at the
same time that he shuts out foreign capital
from competition with himself
Third: A national banking system which
usurps the governmental prerogatve of supply
ing the country with its paper money,-thus
using for private gain a governmental function
which carries with it not only enormous direct
profits, but the still greater advantage of con-
trolling the markets by alternate contraction
and expansion Of the circulating medium.
Fourth: A system of taxation which relieves
the accumulated wealth of the country from the
burden of the Federal government and places
the heavier portion thereof upon the broad
backs of the common people, who pay these
federal taxes indirectly when they purchase the
three thousand articles which are named in our
tariff schedules.
Fifth: A transportation system which gives
to few railway kings the power to tax s. ,ooo-
600 of people with freight rates and passenger
rates to the extent that the traffic will bear and
thus wiring from the defenceless and unprivi-
legged masses the enormous salaries the high
officials of the roads and dividends upon from
six to eight billion dollars of fictitious capital-
cation. This undemocratic transportation svs-
tenn carries with it the dangerous power to
build up one town or business or section at the
expense of another by secret rebates and other
determinations in favor of one shipper or one
town, or one section against another shipper
or town, or section.
No matter what Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt

Mr.. Bryan and the Negroes.

JIT. bryan ana me negroes.
Friends keep it before the people that Mr.
Bryan was born and reared in Illinois, in the
very hot-bed of sectional hatred toward the
South. By heredity environment and educa-
ton he grew up to manhood to believe that the
Southern people were wrong on the race ques-
ton Resistlessly, naturally, inevitably he i'm
bibed the idea that Thad Stevens and Charles
Sumner were right on the race question: Re-
sistlessly, naturally, inevitably he grew up to
believe that the Southern Confederacy repre-
scented armed treason against the Republic;
that every follower of the Stars and Bars was a
traitor to his country.
Therefore, it is not surprising that we dis
cover certain things in Mr.. Bryan's record
which ought to make it impossible for the
Southern States to give him their electoral
votes.
In 1884, when he threw away his vote in the
Democratic caucus-refusing to vote for either
Crisp or Mills because they had been Confed-
crate soldiers he was simply acting in accord
ance with his own inherited beliefs as to the
Civil War. When he sent his own daughter
to be educated in social equality college, on
terms OF social equality with young negro men
and young negro women, he was simply follow
ing out his own inherited views upon the race
question. When as editor of the Omaha
WOrld-Herald he advocated the nomination
and election of negro in Douglas county, Ne
braska, over a white opponent, and contributed
the whole strength of the influence of himself
and his paper to the election Of that negro over
the white man, he was simply following out
his own views of right in the premises. When
he made his deal with the negro leaders in the
hope OF securing their vote in the doubtful
States of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska,
he could do SO with a clear conscience, because
deep down in his heart he believes that the
South IS wrong on those matters where Roose-
welt and Taft have said the South was right,
and have offended the negroes in saying SO.
What these points are, the Jefferscnian has re-
peatedly stated.
But, however honest Mr. Bryan is in his
views on the race question: the South is equally
honest and equally entitled to her own opinion.
lnasmuch as the race question affects the South
more than it does any other section of the Nm
ION, and lnasmuch as that question is the great
est OF all questions with the Southern people,
we ought to realize the danger of endorsing
Mr. Bryan's views, as we would implicitly do
when we give him our electoral vote.
AS long as Republican Presidents are elected
who differ with the South on the race question,
we can protect ourselves against them as
against enemies. We present the impossible
barrier of the Solid South and say to any Re-
publican President, "You may practice his own
ideas OF the social equality on your side of the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-10-29

posed them on the national banking question.
He no longer does so. He once favored the
placing of the burden of federal taxation upon
the incomes of the rich, instead of upon the
necessities of the common people and poor.
He no longer favors the income tax, but agrees
with the Republicans that federal taxation
should be imposed by tariff duties. He once
favored the governmental ownership of rail
roads. He no longer does SO; he now stands
committed to the transportation system just as
we have it.
Broadly, therefore, the same considerations
which influence the citizen to become Taft
Republican, influence him to become Bryan
Democrat. BETWEEN THE TWO IS NO
SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE.
What makes Populist?
Radical opposition to stand-pat Republican
ism and Bryanite Democracy.
First: We believe that the federal govern
ment should be supported by taxation which
would reach the accumulated wealth of the
country. We believe that the incomes of the
rich should contribute to the support of that
system of government under whose protection
and by reason of whose advantages the for
tunes were made. We believe that the great
corporations which exercise the SOVEREIGN DOW
er to tax people in freight and passenger
rates should be compelled to pay franchise
tax. AS to the tariff, we care not how high
Congress runs up the duties on the luxuries of
life, but we contend that the necessities of life
which the poor must have to live should be on
the free list and should pay no federal tax at
all.
Second: We regard Our great railroads as
nothing more than modern public highways,
and we believe that every nation should own
its public roads just as every nation owns it's
navigable streams
Third: We believe that the national bank
ing system is just as undemocratic and wrong
as 1t was IN the days Of Andrew Jackson and
Thomas Jefferson. We would abolish this svs-
tenn and restore to the government the sover-
elgn custom of creating the paper money as
we'll as the metallic currency.
Fourth: We are against the gold standard,
which is modern British and illegal device of
the hnanclers who rule the world We favor
the Constitutional system of money devised bv
our forefathers and written into the funda-
mental law of the Republic We believe in a
currency composed of gold and silver coined
upon equal terms, and of treasury notes, full
legal tender for all debts issued by the govern
ment itself directly to the people without the
intervention of banks
Fifth: TO put back into the hands of the
people themselves that control over laws and
lawmakers which they should have in everv
government which claims to be Democratic.
we favor the initiative and referendum, the inn
peratlve mandate and the recall We would
with the latter, put out of office any official
who betrays the people With the imperative
mandate, we would instruct those who repre-
sent us in such a way that they would not
dare to violate Our Instructions With the
referendum we would compel legislative bodies
to refer to us any law which they had under
consideration. With the initiative we orr
selves would lnaugurate legislation which we

IN DENvER'S ELECTRIC AIR.
Ali the Trolley Cars Stop When Thun-
derStorm Comes On.

There is one city in this country where
motormen aud conductors of trolley ears
don't mind a bit when they see a thun-
derstorm approaching, because ii means
that they can have rest and won't be
called down for being behind their
schedule. That city is Denver.
The atmosphere of Denver seems to
have an extra supply of electricity. and
whenever they have an electric storm
there it is apt to play hob with dynamos
and anything that runs electrically. For
that reason it is rule of the street car
company that at the first sign of light
ming every ear must stop and stay right
where ii is until the electric display has
ceased.
lt Is common sight in Denver to see
the street cars stalled all about the
streets before the pavements are even
wet. On these occasions the motormen
and conductors settle themselves COM
