goes republican, there is no trouble and worry
about the depositors getting their money. Ex-

Mr. Bryan has announced in The Commoner, un-
der the caption "A Battle Lost-A War But Be-
gun''-that, though defeated, he had not become
disheartened, because he believes the principles
which his party advocated in the late campaign
will live on. Mr.. Bryan sad
'The election of 1908 is over and the returns
disclose signal victory for our opponents, but the
principles for which our party stands, the policies
for which our party contends-these are not dead.
"a good proposition is not made bad by rejec
ton at the polls; needed reform is not made
unnecessary by an adverse vote. The legislation
asked by the democratic party in it's last national
platform was not of temporary character-it was
legislation which will be of permanent advantage
when it is secured.
Does any one believe the American people will
permanently permit secrecy as to campaign contri-
buttons?
Does any one believe that the American people
will permanently permit the will of the voters to
be thwarted, as it is now, by the election Of SEN
ators through legislatures?
Does any one DelloVo CndC the CruSJS Will De
permitted to exploit the masses permanently?
Does any one believe that the consumer will
permanently permit the tariff to be written by
the benefcares of that tariff?
Does any one believe that the public will
permanently tolerate estrangement between labor
and capial?
Does any one believe that the Is, 600, 600 of de-
positors will forever permit their savings to be
jeopardzed, as at present?
Does any one believe that the extravaganza of
the government will go on forever unchecked?
Does any one believe that our republic will
permanently consent to colonial policy, with its
humiliations and financial burdens?
There must be party, representing the people,
to protect against wrong in high places, against
corruption in politics. and against the oppression
of the struggling Masses and the democratic
party must continue its fight or dissolve. 1t can
not exist as plutocratic party.
During the last IL years the democratic party
has accomplished more out of power than the re-
publican party has accomplished in Office, and this
is a sufficient reward for those who fight for
| righteous cause.
''1t would have been pleasant to have been able
to reward worthy democrats with official positions,
but the most worthy of the democrats are not
looking for official positions They are looking
for good government They will neither be dis
couraged nor dismayed by defeat.
"They can not cease to be interested in the gov
ernment, for indifference would only invite worse
abuses than those from which we now suffer. The
fight must be continued because a good govern
ment is the richest legacy that parent can leave
to child"
