the other speakers.
Mr. Bryan had chosen as his sub
1ect The New Era in American Pol
itics." He said:
The new era in American politics
Is characterized by the transfer OF
power from those who are Interested
in special privileges TO those who
have a common interest in the com
n3on veal.
My object in taking as my subject
the New Era is 10 bring TO your at
1ention the character of the man who
as president is leading the movement
and the nature OF the questions which
have already been acted upon. and
those thus far outlined. President
Wilson combines the two necessary
qualities in the lead of such move
7Bent.
4 He follows his conscience.
q He is in sympathy with the
masses.
The president took up the tarif
question. first in having the issue
made paramount in the campaign. He
has succeeded in obtaining a material
reduction in the tariff and the country
IS adjusting itself to the new law
with less economic disturbance than
was thought possible.
The tariff law includes income tax
progision-the rate running from one
per cent. to seven per cent-according
TO the size Of the income. This, too.
has been accepted by the country
without protest, In fact, one of the
most striking evidences that is TAX
ing place is the fact that 10 years ago
when one urged a two per cent. in
come tax he was regarded q demo
gogue. now a seven per cent. tax is
regarded as entirely reasonable
The currency question was the sec
Dnd one taken up by the president.
and the law which he helped to frame
has gone into operation, and it is a
marvel OF constructed craftsmanship
and is winning approval as rapidly as
its provisions become known. 1t
gives to the banks an advantage
which they have never had before in
that it permits them to obtain govern
ment money upon their ordinary Sc
curities without requiring deposited
bonds
The speech of Senator Sherman was
devoted to the Importance of little
things, and especially the small econ
omies and attention to detail in youth,
which later make the thorough man.
