1T is a legitimate and proper func-
ton of government that win increase
wealth and bring about a just distribu-
ton of wealth, that will secure in
creased profits of honest business men
and insure a fair division of profits
for honest workiugmen.
we alt want prosperity. and what
is more, we want prosperity for all.
II urge u party, therefore, to be
i~ntelligently and courageously CON
structive, not mercy obstructive like
the republican party. nor destructive.
like the democratic party.
THE republican platform says moth
ing and means nothing. II is a plat
form of statistical Inventions and po-.
litical eyasions. It Is obviously the.
product of a party whose sole purpose
is to stand pat and whose sole desire
to stay pat. The democratic platform
contains some good and original
things, but as has been said, the orig
inal things are moi good and the good
things are not original
1T was built by political %iackdaws,
who feather their nests with the
plumes of others without understands
ing their significance or intention as
to their performance.
ut is the habitatiop of a hermit
which has no shcu Of it's vs.
ana invadcs the first convenient one
without regard to property or pros
priety.
1T is a platform, too, of rocou,ilia-
ton and retraction. Of atoncmcnt and
apology. of harmony and hypocrisy.
for in compliance with a former conn
pact, Parker has pronounced peace;
Bin Bailey has poured standard oil
upon the troubled waters, and Bryan
has killed not only the fatted calf, but
the goose that laid the golden egg.
mo man may serve we masters.
ana no man can conciliate the con-
~flicting elements Of the democratic
party. He who tries must serve ID
and deceive the other. must make pub
lie pretehsc to the people n private
compact with the trusts.
our party is not "a party of faction
or cliqucs or classes. We have mo-
warning wings TO pacify. no coutradic-
tory declarations TO modify 30 COR
rupt bosses to satisfy.
Let us act boldly and speak plain
Iy. Let us make "a platform so clear
ana SO sincere that every citizen win
understand position and have con
.idouce in our intention. Let us nom
candidates from among the men
lerc present whose lives and deeds are
guarantee of the genuiueuoss of
heir attitude pledge OF The sim
'erity of our profession.
Then Jet as go forth 10 ana honor
