these corporations relieve themselves froi
the burden of the federal taxation? Who
was It that said It was wrong to compel
them to contribute to the support of the

they have grown so great? It was not
the democrats of the rank and die; It was
not the republicans of tho rank and flle.
It waa the false representative obeying
the commands of those who secretly rule

their own taxes but thosa of the corpo

More than twelve hundred million

Did you. my fellow sovereigns, order that

always know enough about flnanco to

you add to the value of the remainder?

and thus cause congestion, paralysis,

Who is ft that does not know that these
things are so? Who Is It that doesn't

not do those things themselves? Who
is It that will not concede that the rank
and flle of the Democratic par»y, as well
as the rank and flle of the Republican
party, are at heart opposed to these
abuses of government, and would tonight
annihilate them If an honest man's blow
would do It? How, then, havo we. been
brought to such a pass? We are sup
posed to govern ourselves, and to be the
sovereigns of this republic. Tint we have
surrendered our own birthright. We
have allowed to slip 'out of our hands
those powers our ancestors fought for
eight years to secure. We do not take
the Initiative In making laws. There Is
no right of ours which we can assert. We
have no method by which we can remove
from office the representative who betrays
us. We have no method by which we
can arrest a law which we abhor. We
have no method by which we can compel
those who represent us In the legislature,
or In congress, to enact the legislation
which wo know the country needs. The
machines of both the old parties rule.
The seeret caucus dominates. The beck-
reotn Influence controls those who are
supposed to he controlled by the people
at large. Every Intelligent observer
knows that something Is wrong. We
know that the legislation Is hsught and
sold. We know that special favors have
their price In the political market, and
that the huge campaign funds used by
both the old parties were equally corrupt
and had the same damnable purpose of
securing for the men who finance the
campaign governmental favora which
mean terrible consequences to Unpeople

Every thoughtful observer of events Is

that his platform Is not less binding in

He has not only dropped every reform
doctrine which made hint famous und
made him popular, but hs Is taking pains
to make it clear to the plutocratic ele

campaign that he has dropped them.
Therefore, we must Judge Mr. Bryan by
that platform of his.
Tell me what plank of It proposes to
relieve the country from the evils of
unfair taxation. Hs once stood for an
Income tax. We had understood that he
was in favor of an Inheritance tax- We
must no longer harbor thnt Idea. He de
clared vociferously that I n waa In favor
of the government ownership of public
utilities. He has abandoned that broad

remember thi
Bryan was born in
Illinois. In 188U. that he grew up In the
heated atmosphere of sectional hostility
to the south. Sly heredity, environment
and education he was saturated with
tho Idea that the south was wrong on
the negro question, and that the north
was right. It Is Just as natural for Mr.
Brynu. born where he was. reared In the
environment of Ills Illinois home, to take
the hide of Thad Stevens und Clias.

Mr. Bryan may amuse himself by call

he cells bis own a violin, but the Instru

the same. In his mad desire to gratify
his personal wish to become president,
he has abandoned every principle that
Jefferson would havs owned; every prin
ciple that you have voted for when you
voted for him In' ISM: erery principle
that you said wa* sound when you voted

On the other hand, consider the atti

because the Republican party tMr at Mat
recognized the fustic* of the souths e*n»i
tentlon that sh« should be allowed to
regulate her own domestic affair*. Think
what this meant! Tho Civil War was
waged to establish the right of -
south to local home rule. Wo lort

publicans of the north and east have
said by actions which speak louder than

soldier who marched and fought under
the stars and bsrs. It Is a monument
■erected by his enemy to the honor of
every dead hero of the southern Confed
eracy; It Is a halo of glory for every
■unrlvor of the followers of I<*a and
Jackson. Johnson and Fofrest.
But tho negro leaders of the nortjL
east and west era Incensed against
Republican party for having saopted this
position. There ere IK'S points upon
which they rest their hostility to Roose
velt and Taft. . , -V •
t. Because they haven’t enforced tk*
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
J. Because they have acquiesced In
ie southern disfranchise laws. ,
S. Because the president dismissed
from the army the negro troops who
shot tip Brownsville.
4. Because of the defeat of the Fora
ker bill, which was Intended to restore
these troop# to tho army.
