Then, how dfah 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 government which brought them Into life with charters, and which gave them the vast Immunities ami powers from which 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 compelled the common people, republic ans and democrats alike, to pay not only their own taxes but thosa of the corpo rations also. More than twelve hundred million lars of your money. Issued by the gov ernment, backed by the credit and strength of the government, was called In. thrown Into the furnace and burned. Did you. my fellow sovereigns, order that done? Would you havo ever thought It to your Interest to reduce the quantity of good government money? Did you not always know enough about flnanco to know that when you reduce tho quantity, you add to the value of the remainder? Has there ever been a time when you dldi not know that scare* money was high priced money?

Who is ft that does not know that these things are so? Who Is It that doesn't fee* that the people of the country did 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 at largs/ Every thoughtful observer of events Is bonvlnesd that the present situation Is full of danger. Things cannot go on as they are. 8o unbearable are becoming the burdens of taxation, direct snd Indi rect: so Intolerable Is becoming the efTect of special privilege on the great mass of th# unprivileged, that our great cities are already the hotbed# of sedition. Last winter tens of thousands of des- perat* people, men. women end children, paraded the streets of northern cities, singing the Marseillaise, openly * calling for the overthrow of our system of gov- ernment.

How lajjt with Mr^ Bryan? not allowed to Infer from speecho**. edi torials or platforms hsrelpfore advanced by Mr. BrS’an that anything In the re form 1 ne can be expected of him. be cause he takes pains to tell the country that his platform Is not less binding in what It aays than In wiist it doosn't say. 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 ment of his party who are financing his 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.

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. Mumr.er uguinst the south, as it Is for I man like ine, born und reared In Geor gia. to Itclleve that the eouth was right and that Stevens and Sumner were wrong. Mr. Hrynn believes In social equality I would not dare to say so If I could not prove it. lie lives In a stuto where It Is practiced, and he has never uttered a word sgiilnst It. The lnwe of Ids state do not forbid the Intermarriage of blacks and whiles, and such marriages, abhorrent to u». Ate of frequent m rence In Nebraska. The schools are mixed schools.

Therefore. If Mr. Brvan should elected, hla platform binds him to do nothing to remedy the evils from which we suffer, and we have the asauranco of the association of New York democrate that even If Mr. Bryan should try to do anything Injurious In the way of legis lation. the republican senate will prevent him from succeeding. Very respectfully, t beg leave to —alt to you thet the plntfofm upon which I am making this fight offers the only reasonable, practicable and conservative remedy for those evils which are threat ening ns with military despotism or with revolution First.

FRIEND Mr. Bryan may amuse himself by call ing Mr. Taft's platform a fiddle, while he cells bis own a violin, but the Instru ments are Identical, and the music Is the same.

On the other hand, consider the atti tude of Mr. Bryan with reference tu Ih* negro vote.

Wo lort case In the trial bv battle, end wel our slaves, hut the nrlndpls wss not lost, and now. after forty years df bit terness and strife, tho enlightened re publicans of the north and east have said by actions which speak louder than lost the lo»>t words that th* southern people whe .......

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.

They then went to Mr. Boon, and they came away satisfied. What did he say to them? I don't know, but he.must hnv# said something that sounded, better to them then what Taft said. If h* Mid anything to them that waa less favora ble to the south than the poalt on of Roosevelt nnd Taft, h# hsa no rleht to expect southern support.
