rosist their demands y,J win have the

( very phase oi the money question and
give them branch banks, an asset cur
rency and the Aldrich bill (a bill that
will loan three hundred millions of
money to tho pet banks and give the?e
banks enough profit to lay the founda
tion for an enormous corruption fund)
if you gave them all of these things
vou would not make peace with these

will not find a single issue upon which
von n flcht the neoule's battle if
you must first get the consent of the
financiers to your platform.
As a rule those who are opposed to
the reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform will not write a trust plank
that will hurt a trust. The very men
who tell you that they simply want
to get rid of silver are the men who
are planning to write an ambiguous,
uncertain and meaningless platform,
and then nominate a man whom they
know to be in the control of the syn
dicates, and then they expect to col
lect a big campaign fund from tho
trusts. This is the policy that I am
fighting. These men who say they
are opposed to the Kansas City plat
form are not only against the peo
ple on every phae of the money ques
tion and trust question, but they are
also against any real tariff ieform.
S'ome of them emasculated the Wilson
tariff bill and made it a mockery and
a by-word. Many of them voted for
a high tariff presidential candidate in
1836.
Neither are they prepared to take
tho people's side on the labor question.
We have in this country today a labor
question. We have capital and labor
arrayed against each other, and you
will find that tie people who do not
want to reaffirm the Kansas City plat
form have something else that they
want to get out of that platform. It
s the plank providing for the arbitra
tion of differences between capital and
labor: thev nlsn wnnf t crf -1.1 c

on imperialism, and he said that ex
pansion wa3 no longer an issue; that
expansion was an accomplished fact
ihat to argue against what he called
expansion was to argue against the
commercial development of the south.
Vou will find that as a rule tho men
who do not like that platform are so
steeped and dyed in commercialism
that they wouid sell the principles of
American government for a few dol
lars' worth of merchandise. They put
merchandise above manhood and wo
manhood, and I am hoping that tho
democrats of the south will join with
1he democrats of the north in declar
ing to the world that we raise some
thing in this country more important
than cotton or corn; that we raise
mon oiirl wnmon nnrl that we Will not
make merchandise of their blood. Cer
tainly the people who had a taste of
carpet-bag government a generation
pgo will not be in favor of giving the
Filipinos a taste of carpet-bag govern
ment now. A man who is willing to
send a carpet-bag governor 7,000 miles
across the ocean and hold him in office
by an army sent equally far cannot
consistently complain of carpet-bag
government in the south. If we are
going to condemn carpet-bag govern
ment we must conuemn it not because
we are the victims, but because of the
principle involved, and I believe that
it is time to challenge the republican
party to defend the moral principle
involved in this question. It they tell
me that they are going abroad on a
missionary crusade and are going to
kill men for the love of God, I ask
them to go back and read their Bibles
again. They will find that the Author
of our religion was not a warrior, but
the Prince of Peace, and that at His
coming the angels sang Peace on
earth, good will to men. If they think
that we can win a victory for Chris
tianity by shot and shell let them go
to tho ruins of ancient Rome. As they
stand by the walls that have for two
thousand years defied the ravages of
time their thoughts will run back to
that time when Nero gathered the
Christians from their humble homes
and delivered them to wild beasts, and
ua mey recall now helpless those peo
ple were, how helpless among the wild
animals, made hungry by having their
food kept from them for days for this
purpose, how 'helpless and how hope
less those Christians were as they
KiioiL ana sang and prayed until life
was gone, let them take courage. Let
them remember that on their knees
those Christians invoked a power
more potent than the legions of Rome
Let them take courage when thoy re
member that these defenseless Chris
tians prayed to the God of "We and
offered no resistance to their torment
ors; let them remember how these
men by their silent suffering overcame
ef Y1;? Rented them and how
the stateliest edifices of the Christian
church were reared upon the groui -reddened
by martyrs' blood. Those

the Christians went away asking
themselves, "What is It that make!
these peoplo willing to die for their
religion?" The very heroism of the
martyrs brought converts to their
