Endorsed by a sufficient number of
States to make it a part of our con-
stitution.
ct believe in the rigid enforcement
of the Sherman antitrust law. I
would not proceed against these great
monopolies in equity and when /
found them guilty tell them not to
be so any more or to divide their
army of pillage into separate maraud-
ing bands. but 1 would proceed
against them under the criminal stat
utes and place upon them the felons'
stripes. I do not believe that a no
nopoly can be reasonable and 1 would
no more give to a trust the right to
monopolize reasonably than / would
give a thief the right to steal reason-
ably. These trusts must be des-
troyed. The American people know
that they have grown up and have
been fostered and encouraged by the
Republican party, and they cannot
rely upon that party to destroy them.
They have no vested right. Wrong

ed right in this great government.

vagaries of Bryan, the dreamer.
However much we may differ in ma
tional conventions upon minor ques-
lions. all Just men must admit that
the one living American whose name
will shine In history studded by a
thousand flaming stars along beside
that of Jefferson and Jackson is that
of William Jennings Bryan, of Me-
braska.
THE Democratic Congress not only
scotched Cannonism, but 1t killed it.
Our Republican opponents said we
were ~unfriendly to the soldiers of the
Union army; that in our camps the
fires of the Civil Wal still burned;
that If given control we would be
neither just nor generous to these
veteran heroes of the Civil War. But
behold the record of the Democratic
Congress still in session. It remained
for us to give the most liberal PEN
sions to these deserving men in their
declining years that their old age
might be made serene and bright.
They charged we would be unjust to
them, now they say we were too gen.
erous. Nearly a h~alf-century after
the war had closed it remains for a

say with all the emphasis of our
souls that big business. like little
business, must obey the law. We
would drive from these trusts every
character of protection. We would
write a tariff law strictly for revenue
only, and place the tax first upon the
Injuries and if hal did not produce
sufficient revenue, then upon the com
forts of life, and lastly we would lay
the burden of taxation upon the
necessaries of life. These infant in
dustries must be weaned. AS infants
they began, but are today mighty
giants who have coalesced their
strength, to drive skyward the cost
Of living and Cypress the people.
1.-THE Republican platform adopted
at Chicago upon the tariff and trust
questions is a puzzle, absolutely
meaningless to the American people,
but they may rest assured that to
this puzzle the trusts hold the key.
Their financial plank shows great
anxiety to make it easy for the far
mer to borrow money.
ut seems that they recognize that
their rule of this country for sixteen
years has made 1t necessary for the
farmers to obtain credit. The Demo-
cratic party of this country will not
consent that our finances shall be Al

estly elected that was ever perpe-
trated in American politics.
THE Republican party, flushed
with many victories, imperious as a
tyrant, %unheeding the demands of the
people. took the reins of the govern
ment in 1908 under the solemn prom
Use that they would revise the tariff
in the interests of the consumer.
Instead of keeping their promise as
the should have done, because 1t
was their bond of honor, they be-
trayed it. They raised the tariff
higher than ever before until it
reached It's maximum of protection,
being AZ per cent.
1.-THE story Of this base betrayal is
known to all men.
'Ehe Democratic party appealed on
their record In the Sixty-first Con-
gress Upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill to the American people, and re-
ceived from them a verdict of guilty
against the Republican party and the
bestowal of power upon ourselves.
First, we reduced the tariff upon
wooden clothes 40 per cent. This was
the one schedule that President Taft
himself had said was too high, that
1t was only made possible by reason
of the strength of the wool trust in
the East and the wool growers In the
West, but he could not veto 1t, be-
cause he would have to veto all the
other fourteen schedules of the tariff
bill. This bill went to the Senate,
and, though 1t was controlled by the
opposition party. we found sufficient
assistance from the ranks of our OPP
ponents to pass 1t up to the President
1.-THE President returned 1t to tho
Congress of the United States with
his veto and assigned as his reason
that he had no tariff board report
and was, therefore, uninformed upon
the question, and for this reason re-
turned 1t with his disapproval. We
undertook to pass this bill over his
veto. Our constitution requires two
thirds to accomplish this.
1.-THE Democratic party next passed
a farmers and laborers' free list bill,
giving free, untaxed meat and bread
to hungry mouths, giving free farm
ing implements to the toilers of the
American soil, offering free lumber to
the homeless of the republic. This
bill was so Just that 1t found its way
through the Senate controlled by the
opposition and was passed on to the
President.
I'VE undertook to pass it over the
Presidents veto. We lacked less than

a dozen votes of the sufficient num-
Der, and today the harvester trust,
the lumber trust, the beef trust, all
stand hidden behind President Taft,
1.-THE next bill we passed was the
one reducing the tariff on cotton
goods, which would have saved many
million dollars to our people. This,
too, met with the veto Of the Presi-
dent.

I do not fear them. From their ranks

| am a Democrat. In this age the
people command and the leaders must
obey.
I'VE passed through the House of
Representatives q resolution submit
ting an amendment to the Federal
Constitution providing for the cleo
ton of the United States senators
by direct vote Of the people. This
was in obedience to our promise in
former Democratic national plat
forms. The Senate of the United
States had become the rock against
which remedial legislation in the in
terest of the people has been wrecked.
Wealth has made this body its last
stand; privilege was making 1t its
rendezvous. We believe that the peo-
pie ought to have the right to select
their senators directly as they do
their members of Congress. And to-
day the American people have before
them this amendment to Federal leg
islation by reason of the courage and
support of Democracy. l believe the
day Is not distant when the Senate
will be free and as responsive to the
will of the people as the House Of
Representatives.
I'VE then passed through Congress
a bill providing for publicity of GER
tain funds before, as we'll as after,
election and denying to corporations
the right to contribute to political
parties at all. This Is now law, and
both election of senators by the peo-
pie and publicity of contribution
funds met the. disapproval of the
Republican convention held in 1908.
I'VE submit to the country an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton providing for an income tax.
We know that a hundred billions of
our one hundred and thirty billions
of wealth is escaping taxation for
national purposes, and in keeping
with our promise to the American
people, we have submitted this just
amendment of all taxes levied opon

drichized or controlled by the Money
Trust. for they are yet inspired by
the thought that Old Hickory jack
son, more than three-quarters of a
century ago, stood in front of the
peoples treasury and beat back these
money changers. That spirit still
lives in the heart of American DEM
ocracy.
President Taft did not take time
to carry out, but he kicked out, the
Roosevelt policies.
IF he wants to come with clean
hands and a clear conscience, let him
join with us, and do what ought to
have been done four years ago, elect
a Democrat President.
President Taft is Joined to his
idols. His administration presents the
most melancholy spectacle in all u
national life. Roosevelt undertakes
to achieve the presidency by pro-
claiming himself the advocate Of
those policies by which he won the
presidency by denouncing.

gents; but back yonder when a voice

CongratuIates Democracy on
Fortunate Auspices Under
Which 1t Assemblies.

BALTIMORE, June Ex-senator
elect Ollie James's address as perma-
nsnt chairman was as follows:
IT am deeply grateful to this great
convention of patriotic men for the
high honor you have bestowed upon
me in calling me to preside I'VE your
deliberations while you select the next
President Of the great republic.
"I congratulate the Democrats of
The nation upon the fortunate aus
pices under which you have assem-
bled. Where no charge Of bribery
hovers above this hall no cry OF
thief and robber is hurled by one fel-
low Democrat at another. No SOL
diers stand in reserve to keep us
from each others throats. Our de-
alterations here shall be for the
country's good, tolerant of each
others views, believing, as I do, that
when the nominees are named by
this convention they will have back
of them every loyal Democrat in the
republic, as well as the hearty sup
port of progressives everywhere. The
Democratic party is essentially a
party of the people because 1t is the
people. 1t has fought a long, hard
battley when It seemed that night
would never end and h a day would
never dawn, but the battle in the
interest of the people has continued
until we see the common enemy, the
once great Republican party, divided,
distracted and torn asunder, while
democracy is united. harmonious and
militant.
There are two records that VIII
be presented to the American peo-
pie in the coming convention for
their consideration. One is the record
of the Republican party, with prom
ises betrayed arrogantly, defiantly
betrayed; and the other is the record
of the Democratic party, Of promises
faithfully and honestly kept. The
Republican party itself, recognizing
that President Taft had been I'M
faithful to the great mass of Ameri-
cans, refused by an honest majority
of the convention to renominate him,
and 1t was only brought about by the
most wholesale; consoienceless and
deliberate u%nseating of delegates hon
