I understand its position, denies the
economic as well as the political ad
vantage of private monopoly and
promises to oppose it wherever it
manifests itself. It offers as an alter
native competition whero competition
is possible and public monopoly wher
ever circumstances are such as to
prevent competition.
"Socialism presents a consistent tne
ory, but a theory which, In my judg
ment, does not take human nature
into account. Its strength is in its
attack upon evils the existence of
which is confessed; its weakness is
"that it would substitute a new dis
ease if not a worse one for the dis
ease from which we suffer. The so
cialist is honest in the belief that
he has found a remedy for human ills,
. and he must be answered with argu
ment, not with abuse. The best way
to oppose socialism is to remedy the
abuses which have grown up under
individualism but which are not a
necessary liart of individualism, and
the' -sooner the remedy is applied the
bettter.

my reasons for opposing the socialistic
doctrine that the government should
own and operate all the means of pro
duction and transp'ortatlon; my ob
servations during the past year have
strengthened my conviction on that
subject. Because I am anxious to pre
serve individualism, , I am earnest in
my desire to see the trusts extermi
nated, root and branch, that the door
of opportunity may be open to every
American citizen. I shall reserve for
anothor occasion a discussion of the
rapidly growing appropriations made
by the party in power. It is natural
that those who look upon taxation as
a blessing should view governmental
extravagance with complacency. Yet
even the desire to find ways of spend
ing the revenues brought into the
treasury by a high tariff can hardly
account for the reckless expenditures
of the last session of congress.
"But at this time I desire to center
your thoughts upon the overshadow
ing evil of the day the trust, with its
nliitonrntin tendencies that result
therefrom'. It demands a remedy and
the people are prepared to administer
strenuous treatment. The democratic
party offers .a, solution which is both
reasonable and adequate a solution
in which time honored principles are
applied to new conditions,
"The democratic party is not the
enemy of property or of property
rights; it is, on the contrary, the best
defender of both, because it derenas
human rights and human rights are
the only foundation upon which prop
erty and property rights can rest se
curely. The democratic party does not
menace a single dollar legitimately
accumulated; on the contrary, it in
sists unon the protection of rich and
poor alike in the enjoyment of that
which they have honestly earned. The
democratic party does not discourage
thrift, but on the contrary stimulates
each individual to the highest en
deavor by assuring him that he will
not be deprived of the fruits of his
toil. If we can but repeal the laws
which enable men to reap where they
have not sown laws which enable
them to garner into their overflowing
barns the harvests that belong to oth
ers no one will be able to accumu
late enough to make his fortune dan
gerous to the country. Special privi
lege and the use of the taxing power
for private gain these are the twin
pillars upon which plutocracy rests.
To take away these supports and to
elevate the beneficiaries of special
legislation to the plane of honest
effort ought to be the purpose of our
throw of this giant wrong. In the
name of the counting rooms, which it
has defiled; in the name of business,
honor which it has polluted; in the
name of the home which it has de
spoiled; in the name of religion which
it has disgraced; in the name of the
people whom it has oppressed, let us
make our appeal to the awakened con
science of the nation.
"And if I may be permitted to
suggest a battle hymn, I propose a
stanza, slightly changed, from one
of the most touching of the poems of
Scotland's democratic bard:
" 'Columbia!
" 'My dear, my native soil.
" 'For whom my warmest wish to
heaven is sent,
" 'Long may thy hardy sons ofi rustic
toil
" 'Be blest with health, and peace, and
sweet content.
" 'And, O, may heaven their simple
lives prevent
" 'From luxury's contagion, weak and
vile;
" 'Then, though unearned wealth to
wickedness be lent,
" 'A virtuous populace may rise and
stand
"'A wall of fire around their much
loved land.'"
Mr. Bryan concluded his address
at 10:10 and the audience cheered
wildly for a minute. Then many hun
dreds rushed toward the platform to
shake hands with the speaker. He
smiled again and again. Mr. Bryan
was a trifle hoarse when he ended,
showing, as he said, that he had not
made a speech In a long time to such
a vast audience or one that had cost
him such physical effort.

They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contracti expand, and squeeze the Dlges

They don't help the Bowels'and Liver in
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This Is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
. instead of increased, as it must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.

Cascarets act like exercise.

THE LANGUAGE OF UMBRELLAS
There is a language of umbrellas as
of flowers, says a writer in Spare
Moments. For instance, place your
umbrella in a rack, and it will often
indicate that it will change owners.
To open it quickly in the street
means that somebody's eye Is going
to be in danger.
To shut it quickly signifies that a
hat or two will probably be knocked
off.
An umbrella carried over a woman,
the man getting nothing but the drip
pings of the rain, signifies courtship.
When a man has the umbrella, and
the woman the drippings, it indicates
marriage.
To punch, your umbrella into a per
son, and then open it, means "I dis
like you."
To swing your umbrella over your
shoulder signifies "I am making a
nuisance of myself."
To trail your umbrella along the
footpath means that the man behind
you is thirsting for your blood.
To carry it at right angles under
your arm signifies that an eye is to
be injured by the man who follows
you. This is generally a woman's way
of carrying her umbrella.
To open an umbrella quickly, It is
said will frighten a mad bull.
To put an alpaca umbrella by the
side of a silk one signifies "Exchange
no robbery."
To purchase an umbrella means "I
am not smart, but honest."
To lend an umbrella Indicates "I am
a fool."
To return an umbrella means well
never mind what it means; nobody
ever does that.
To carry an umbrella In a case sig
nifies it is a shabby one.
To press an umbrella on your
friend, saying: "Oh, do take It; 1
would much rather you would than
not," signifies lying.
To give a friend half your umbrel
la means that both of you" will get
wet.
.' To carry it from-home in the morn
ing means, "It will very likely, be a
line day." - - " - . '
