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.'
