It describes and illus trates Wilson's Common Senso Ear Drums and contains bona fide letters from nnmcrmiH uso.rs n tho United States, Canada, Mexico, England than a 47 per cent tariff, we should ask ourselves whether tho govern ment, acting for all the people, has any moral right to turn tho taxing power over to any class on any ground whatever. And we should also consider whether a protective tariff could possibiy offer a business ad vantage which would compensate for the demoralization caused by the lob byists who infest Washington, and by the corruption funds that have been fried out of the tariff barons. In dealing with the labor problem, moral principles and moral principles only are applicable. Capital and la bor cannot be reconciled by high sounding platitudes about law and order and vested rights. Violence must be punished, no matter by whom the violence is committod, and property must be protected; but those who would incarcerate ji laboring man for a small offense and then al low the rich violators of tho law to go unwhipped, should be made, to see the inconsistency of -their position, that they may blush for their hypoc risy. The dusL-begrimmcd hands of the nation's toilers are raised, not in threats against property, but in pray er for just treatment, and their off spring plead with us against child labor and the sweat-shop. "We are told that the common people heard Christ gladly; and the ministers who today fail to reach the hearts of the common people may find tho explan ation in their failure to emphasize the simple, but persuasive doctrine of brotherly love. How can we restore respect for the doctrine of self-government, how can we light the trusts, how can we ob tain a just financial system, how can W9 oppose a high tariff, how can we safeguard the rights of labor, or se cure the election of senators by pop ular vote how can we do anything that is needful, or appeal to con scientious people, if we are willing to put the party in the hands of those who profit by present laws, and stand ready to strangle any movement that gives tho people hope of relief in any directions? Honesty appeals to hon esty, and high purpose attracts these who themselves have high purpose. The democratic party must be more than an organization bent upon leer ing its members out of the flesh pots. The democratic party must not be converted into a variety company, with an entire change of program promised for each campaign. The first step forward for any party is to write an honest platform; and how better can an honest purpose bo .proven than by an honest platform? Tho Kansas City platform was an honest platform and it dealt honestly with the people, rn that platform im perialism was declared to be tho para mount issue. Is imperialism less ob jectionable today than it was four ye&rs ago; have its principles changed? Some believe, and I am among them, that we should reaffirm the position taken four years ago on that subject; let those who oppose re affirmation submit their views and asK judgment from the voters of tho party at the primaries. Aro the trusts less dangerous now than they were In 1900? 1 believe they were when the Kansas City platform' was written. Some and I am among them believe that we should maintain against the trusts the position taken four years ago, and make the platform even stronger I possiblelet those who oppose reaf firmation, whether thoy favor tho trusts or favor a different remedy, present their views clearly and def initely. Tho Kansas City platform, follow ing the Chicago platform, declared for bimetallism, and pointed out tho means of securing it. Nothing has arisen to discredit tho principle of bimetallism. Tho increased produc tion of gold, and tho hotter times that have followed an increase in the circulation, have, on tho contrary, vindicated tho quantitative theory of money, although tho world has not yet been relieved of the necessity for silver. This nation must bo bimetallic or monometallic, and if monometallic it must consider what tho effect will bo If we assist In driving all tho world to a gold standard, and com pel twice as many peoplo to use gold as so it now. And tho ratio? If wo aro to have bimetallism at all, what other ratio Is there than the present that is 3oriously supported? Tho money plank of the Kansas City plat form covers every phase of the money question, and in principle condemns the financial measures now befcro congress. Let no one decoive him self, or be deceived by tho argument that tho money question is settled. Tho proposition to make silver re deemable in gold, the proposition to retire silver; or withdraw its legal tender qualities, the proposition for an asset currency, the proposition for branch banks, tho proposition, known as the Aldrich bill, for the loaning of public money to favored banks ail these are parts of the money question and no concession will pleas-j the fi nanciers that does not cover all of these questions and make Wall street influence supremo in tho councils of tho party. That is ovident from the fact that those who want to ignoro the money question are very careful to advocate for president only those who are knfcwn to take tho Wall street view of finance. Some, I among them, believe that tho money plank, as well as the other planks of tho Kansas City platform, should be re affirmed. Let those who are opposed to this plan offci a platform which suits them. Will they indorse tho gold standard outright? .They dare not do it. Will they declare for bi metallism at some other ratio? They have no intent'on of doing so. Those who oppose bimetallism at the pres ent ratio do not want bimetallism un der any circumstances. They prefer to dodge the question of metallic money in order that the people may be lulled to sleep, while they continue to carry out their secret plans. Will they denounce the national bank issue and defend tkp greenback? No. That would offend the very financiers whose favor they aro so anxious to couit. What will they do? If they have their way they will attempt a confi dence game upon the people they will prepare a platform so ambig uous, so uncertain and so meaning less that, like the platform proposed by one of your New York papers re cently, it would suit the republican party as well as the democratic party. Shall we modify our position on the lal-or question to suit the employers' association, and then dilute tariff re form in order to avoid that "disturb ance of business" that is always put forward as an argument by those who have what they want, and don't want to be deprived of it? When the next democratic conven tion convenes and undertakes to write a new platform, it will find the last one a model of clearness and conciseness and of square dealing; ana I hopo that the delegates to the convention will bo instructed by the various states to indorse it. And if they indorse it they will then he pre pared to make additions to it, apply ing to new questions.' And how about candidates?
