PRESIDENT WILSON WRITES Of
DEMOCRATIC ACC0MP[ P[|SHMENTS

In letter addressed to oscar w
Underwood, majority leader of the
house OF representatives, President
Wilson has prepared a complete
record of the achievements OF the
Democratic party since March a
1913, the day the party became the
custodian of the federal government
machinery.
After setting forth each effort "
the Democratic majority in the house
and senate and its result the presi-
dent gives an entirely new definition
of the differences between the Dern-
ocratic party and its opponents.
The point in principle in which
the Democratic party differs from lis
opponents, in the presidents opinion
and in his language, is:
That we would have no dealings
with monopoly, but reject it alto
gether; while our opponents were
ready to adopt it into the realm OF
the law, and seek merely to regulate
it and moderate it in its operation.
OF the most important measures
passed by congress the president
says in part:
The Tariff
THE soil in which combinations
had grown was removed lest some OF
the seeds of monopoly might be
found to remain in it. The panic that
the friends of privilege predicted did |
not follow. The revc-
nue. lost by import duties was re-
placed by an income tax which in
part shifted the burden of taxation
# to shoulders more GER
tainly able to bear it."
Trade Commission Bill
Congress has sought
to make men in small way of bus-
ness az free to succeed as men in
big way and to kill monopoly n
the seed. With this new
legislation there is clear and sutti-
cient law to check and destroy the
roxious growth in its infancy
The Clayton Bill
Monopoly is created also by put
ting the same men in charge OF
variety OF business enterprises.
By means of an interlock-
ing directorates. That the Clayton
bill now in large measure prevents.
n And So all along the line
monopoly is to be cut off at the
roots"
The Currency Bill
by the currency bill we have
created a democracy of credit such
as never existed in this country be-
fore. 1t provides a
currency which expands as it is
needed and contracts when it is not
needed. Credit is at
the disposal of every man who can
show energy and assets" c
Credit to Congressman t
With his customary modesty and J
generosity President Wilson did not a
take unto himself the credit for tile a
party's accomplishments, but will c
ingly shared it with those who had +
SO laboriously and conscientiously
assisted him. Speaking of them he
said
Il wish ! could speak by name of c
the many men who have so honor
ably shared in these distinguished /
abors. doubt if there has ever
oeen finer exhibition of team work 4
Dr. of unhesitating devotion to the
ulfllment of party pledges-and yer G
he best of it is that the great meas
Tres passed have shown, venture to c
'ay, no partisan bias, but only
pirit of serious craftsmanship. T
II am proud to have been associat-
ID with such men, working in such a
pirit through so many months of
nremitted labor at trying tasks of y
ounsel. 1t has been privilege to d
ave a share in such labors. | wish u
could express to every one of the W
MEMBERS who have thus co-operated kt
ogether my personal appreciation tn
{ what he has helped to do. This 10
liter may, ! hope, serve in some OF
ort as a substitute for that. sc
II look forward with confidence to m
