The Little Hotel Wilmot, South Penn
Square, Philadelphia, July 30, 1902.
Editor of Printer' Ink: I notice the
Record says the Force people did not
use the proper mediums in Philadel
phia or else they would have the
proper response before they kad to de
pend on the street cars for it. They
are right in one sense certainly. No
advertiser in Philadelphia or nearby
towns can afford to ignore tho Record,
but if I had had the placing of the
Force advertising I would have used
the same tactics as they did. The Bul
letin and Telegraph cover the Phila
delphia field as far as women are con
cerned and it's "dollars to dough
nuts" that those two papers go in moro
households than all the other papers
combined; the business man takes the
morning paper with him, but brings
the evening paper home.
What they say about the street cars
in Philadelphia hits the nail square.
I have tried it and know. People do
read them and they don't forget what
they read.
The best results that I have noticed
for advertising tho hotel come from
The Commoner, Mr. Bryan's paper.
We ran a small ad. in it for three
months and we have had people from
almost every state of tho union. We
now use no mediums, for our hotel be
ing small, is running full, but If wo
had four or five hundred rooms, I
would have a standing ad. In The Com
moner sure. I notice it has doubled
its size and such shrewd advertisers as
1 ontgomery Ward & Co. are large
users of its space. Ryerson W. Jen

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
Sinco tho Chicago platform was
adopted by tho democratic party in
1896, and tho defection of the gold
democrats, who would not accept the
decision of their party convention as
binding upon them, it has been clearly
evident that no reconciliation could
be brought about between the majority
who accepted tho national platform,
and the small minority who joined the
republicans in attacking tho demo
cratic Chicago platform under the as
sumed name of gold democrats.
When tho national convention of tho
democratic party adopted its platform
by a great majority vote at Chicago all
democrats were bound by that plat
form, but it was tho privilege of ev
ery man to reject the principles of
tho Chicago platform if those prin
ciples wore not agreeable to him, and
in rejecting the party platform the
party was abandoned, and every man
who opposed the principles and the
issues espoused by his party ceased to
bo a democrat. The democrats who
honestly and candidly refused to ac
cept tho Chicago platform because
they thought it too radical, found It
easy to vote the republican ticket, but
that small wing of Cleveland demo
crats who had too long enjoyed the
pleasures of the public crib were un
willing to give up the name or democ
racy though they had abandoned ev
ery right to the name of democracy in
repudiating tho principles and the
standard bearers chosen by tho people
in their national convention. Cleve
land and Hill, the two greatest monu
mental egotists who ever deceived the
people under the name or democracy,
have never had a better motive nor u
higher aim than to fatten at the pub
lic crib. They havo studied consist
ently to pose as democrats, by vigor
ously denouncing some unimportant
Issue, while on the vital questions thoy
held republican opinions. Cleveland
and Hill discredited by the democracy,
and not wanted by republicans, are
too well known to be permitted ever
again to lead any great movement or
any great party, tuey are regarded by
the rank and file of the democrats of
the nation with distrust and disgust,
and by the republicans with contempt.
The absurd attempt of these men to
"harmonize" with real democrats can
deceive no one but themselves; they
are incapable of making a stand for
any principle they would deceive tho
people in the future as tney have i)i
the past, as their remarks on "har
mony" plainly indicates, but their fee
ble efforts will fail.
The people are looking for men of
brains, not cunning tricksters; for
statesmen, not mere posers; for bravo
men who have convictions and are
not afraid to fight for them.
Tho people believe in the greatness
of the nation, they know the countrv
is prosperous; they know that the
country will enjoy still greater pros
perity if the laws are properly admin-
lsterea, ana real American statesmen
are elected for executive positions.
rrue democracy means true American
ism democracy in fact as well as in
name. Democracy that will take the
Initiative in making new laws and en
forcing old ones to restrain the trusts
from destroying the birthright of ev
ery American, independence.
The spirit of freedom of 1776 was
developed by the rugged but free life
of the colonists, and the crushing
methods of the trusts are undermin
ing the natural independence that has
ever been constitutional In tho Ameri
can people That spirit or enterprise
and independence is as necessary to
our perpetuity as it was necessary to
retain the glorious heritage received
from the fathers. Democracy must
look to the west for its leaders, and
there it will find them undazzled by
the temptations offered by the money
kings of Wall street true to tho peo
ple and themselves, speaking as spoke
tho fathers of liberty: for equality be
fore tho law, for defending tho people
from modern monopoly that aims to
destroy the people's Inalienable right,
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. Tho people will have no moro
sham leaders Hko Clevoland and Hill,
but real leaders who love tho air of
liberty for themselves and for their
countrymen, and such. leaders are nee
ossary for tho success or democracy,
that tho "government or tho people,
for the people, and by tho people, shall
not perish from tho earth."
Tho issues betweon democracy and
republicanism are likely to be clearly
defined in the next national campaign.
Tho republicans are wedded to their
European imperial colonial policy; to
tho trusts; to a high protective tariff,
and to tho banking schemes that con
template handing over the money
making power to private banks con
trolled by a great financial trust
Democracy is opposed to all of these,
and will stand for Americanism, lib
erty and equality of opportunity In ths
next national campaign. Now

Ringing Resolutions.
Democrats of tho Eighth congres
sional Ohio district met at Sunbury,
O., and adopted these resolutions:
"The democrats of the Eighth con
gressional district in convention as
sembled reaffirm their belief in tho
Declaration of Independence, written
in 1776 by tho greatest democrat who
ever lived, Thomas Jefferson. Also,
and with no less emphasis, we reaffirm
our belief in the Kansas City platform,
adopted in 1900, which finds its best
defender in the greatest living demo
crat, William J. Bryan. We believe
in self-government, that all people ev
erywhere should be allowed to govern
themselves. Homo rule Is a funda
mental prlnclplo of democracy. Wo
favor it in Ohio and In tho Philippines.
"We object to being robbed under
cover of law. Therefore wo demand
that trusts be suppressed, not on the
stump, but in fact. Tho first effective
blow at these organized robberies will
be dealt when their products are
placed on the free list. This will come
Symjr wuuugu uumuuraiic success at
the polls. There is no patriotism in
business, but when a rod of wire fence
made in Cleveland may be bought in
China for half what farmers in tho
Eighth district must pay there Is some
thing wrong. Wo demand that that
wrong bo righted and that the steel
trust and all other trusts be stripped
of their tariff protection. We de
nounce the deceit of a republican
president who asked for a law to sup
press the trusts three days after con
gress adjourned."
The Difference.
It is reported from the Isle of Wight
that King Edward "does not forget his
religious duties" while aboard the roy
al yacht. Tho Sunday services are
strictly observed. In fact the king Is
as particular about attending religious
services as he is about attending the
races, but not so enthusiastic Eureka
