THE GREAEST
SPEECH OF ALL
W. J. Bryan's Farewell Speech One of
His 3est Efforts.
HOT SHOT FOR WALL STREET
"The Noblest Roman of Them All" Has
Great Hopes of Democratic Success.
In his farewell speech to the demo
crats of Nebraska at Wednesday's con
vention, Mr. Bryan made one of the
best speeches of his career, says the
Lincoln News. It breathed unusual
tolerance for the republicans and was
a remarkable enunciation of the vital
principles of democracy. He welcomed
agitation among the republicans for
the betterment of their party because
lie believes that its effect is to create
a class of republicans to whom radical,
progressive democracy may appeal in
the future with confidence if unsuc
cessful in convincing their own party
of the necessity of progress. He de
clared the democratic party was more
united than it has been in recent years
and expressed himself as more hopeful
than ever of the triumph of its prin
ciples, even though that triumph may
come thrcuuh another party.
31 r. Bryan said that he was going
around the world to prepare himself
for a larger and more intelligent ser
vice to his party and his country. The
time was opportune because the demo
cratic trouble was over and that of
the republicans had just begun It
would take more than a year for the
president and his senate to get to
gether, and meanwhile he could take
a rest. The democratic party is in
better shape today, he declared, than
it has ever been. He continued:
"We were much disappointed when
we came back from St. Louis, but we
are better off for that experience, since
it proves that we can learn better by
experience than by logic. It was a
democratic rebuke but not much of a
republican victory. The election fig
ures prove that without something
vital to right for hundreds of thousands
of democrats will not fight. We are
more united than since 18 in favor
of a radical and progressive democracy
and against a democracy of plutocracy.
Last year many thought it wiser to
try conciliation. Concessions were
made to the plutocratic wing, but we
lost by a tremendous vote. The lesson
ought to be well learned.
"There has been a decided growth
in democratic strength since last No
vember. There has been more expres
sion of hope, expectation and deter
mination. We listened at St. Louis
to thase who promised to win if we
would consent to cease to offend.
"There were many who thought it
wise to make concessions there, hop
ing that when in power we could do
a few things with the promise of more
and greater blessings later, but the
management of that campaign is even
more disgusted than those who tried
to prevent concessions to plutocracy.
The republicans are now fighting out
the contest we had, whether the cor
porations or the people shall rule, and
a great reform element is rising up.
"No republican leader has gained in
popularity in recent years save where
be has been advocating principals first
promulgated by the democratic party.
Roosevelt has not in a single thing
earned popular favor save where he
followed democratic precedent and
placed himseif upon democra
tic doctrine. I am glad the presi-

dent has taken the stand he lias, and
the democrats ought to stand back of
him. I believe more in the establish
ment of principles than I do for party
success. The democrats of the natio-i
ought to go as far on t he corporation
question as he goes. I want to en
courage the republicans who are try
ing to make their party better. 1
don't want the republican party to be
a bad party just because that would
benefit the democrats. The fight that
is now going on in that party will
create a class to whom we can appeal
with hope if they fail in getting what
they demand in their own ranks.
Roosevelt's position has revealed the
strength of the reform element in the
republican party and. encouraged
democratj to continue their appeal to
those who lelieve the people should
rule.
"If the democratic party had spent
half the time and trouble in trying to
convince republicans that it did to
conciliate those who left it in I'.k;, we
would today be stronger than we are
I do not say that we will not welcome
back those who went away, but the
policy of conciliation has driven away
thousands of republicans who w anted
but proof of our sincerity before join
ing hands with us."
i oeneve tne pass question is an
important one, and the agitation
ougnt to continue until ttie evil is
abolished. Every pass issued is not a
bribe, but the railroad companies
have no right to single out any indi
vidual for favors, to give to some and
deny to others. It is unjust from
every standpoint, ana l fear that in
too many instances the possession of
a pass in the pocket of a man makes
him forget the rights of others. The
railroads are too good business men to
give something for nothing without
expecting something some time or an
other in return. I want to see con
ventions of the people where the Jdele
gates are not directed in their acts by
the men who gave them the means of
coming there. It is through the con
ventions that the people must act,
since if we are to have conventions
dominated by men with passes to give
out, the people will be helpless at the
polls."
Mr. Bryan had hot shot for Wall
street. He said:
"Hie investigation lever lias pros
trated and driven cut of prominence
and politics many down at New York
who were most solicitious in 1!R
about the national honor. Conspicuous
among these were the self-constituted
defenders of the widows and orphans.
As one reads the list of embezzlers we
feel glad to have no tears to shed to
find real democrats facing the bar of
justice. 1 1 is a startling expose of the
false pretence and hypocrisy of the
men w ho professed to be so solictous
about the future of the nation.
"Democracy has no real menace to
the honest people of this land. It is
the defender of property, the cham
pion of human rights. No man has
reason to fear its triumph. It holds
no menace to men who keep within
the law and recognize the moral and
legal rights of others. Only predatory
wealth and those why prey upon the
people through special privileges need
be troubled.
"No matter if some of our principles
have been taken up and are now advo
cated by the republicans. The growth
of. our.principles means the growth of
our party. The great danger I fear is
that in the awakening of the republi
cans to the conditions as they exist
they will seek to remedy them by cen
tralizing power at Washington, to
substitute lederal supervision and con
trol, for that control that ought to rest
with the people. There is a place to
day for democracy. That place is to
educate the people as to their wrongs
and the remidies that should be ap
plied. Democracy is rule of the peo
ple. The nearer to it we get the safer
we are. I believe with Jefferson that
the people can govern themselves and
in proportion as government is brought
nearer to the people it will improve.
Congress cannot legislate better for us
than can our councils or state legisla
tures. It has fastened upon this na
tion, for instance, a taxingsystem that
would not be permitted anywhere,
where the collectors keep the bulk of
the tax collected, where the rich man
pays less and the poor man more. I
fear that in the attempt to meet the
dangers that confront us republicans
will consent to centralize all powers at
Washington and thus at last form thej
means with which to take free govern
ment from us."
In a brilliant and feeling peroration
Mr. Bryan bade farewell to the demt.
crats of Nebraska, and expressed his
gratefulness for what they had done
for him. In closing he said:
"I bring to you this word of encour
agement: I never felt more hopeful
than I do today of the eventual tri
umph of the democratic party nor
more sure of the correctness of its
principles. The awakening now on in
this nation simply proves the growing
intelligence of the people and the com
prehension of what we have stood jor.
When those principles are fully under
stood they will be accepted by the
American people. When power then
comes to us we shall apply to the evils
the remedies grounded in democratic
principles and thus make safe andsure
the foundations of popular govern
ment. As we have fought together,
so shall we rejoice tosether when that
day comes that final triumph isjours."
