Sixth Who Is Interested In hav
ing transportation facilities? I an
swer, tho farmer, the miner, the man
ufacturer, tlio merchant, the con
sumer, in fact every one who does
any business or that oats anything or
wears anything. But I think I hear
some one ask why tho owners of
railroad stocks are Interested. I an
swer they are interested only in
making money out of their invest
ments, and in no other way. They
do. not stay up day and night pur
chasing cars and engines to do your
hauling lest you should fail to get
tho best market price. If your pro
ducts 1 ring the price of freight, do
they not get their noney?
Seventh Who is delegated by you
to see that a sufliciont number of
cars and engines are being purchased
or built in time to haul your pro
ducts next year, and the next year
whose business is it to see to it that
there will be cars and engines sufli
ciont and at the placo needed to do
the hauling for each of us for the
next ten years. We are leaving this
most important matter to chance;
this method is for providence.
Tho groat trunk lines discouratre
all new railroad building by refus
ing to connect or prorate at anything
like a reasonable division. They just
permit the new road to live a few
years then buy it at half price which
discourages other people from ven
turing into the business.
Governor Broward then proceeded
to enlarge upon the importance of
tho transportation business, holding
tho attention of his auditors to a
scolarly dissertation upon that im
portant phase.
Henry Warrum of Indiana, spoke
on the subject, "The Democratic Vol
unteer." His address will be printed
in full in a subsequent issue.
Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines
made a plea for a "United Democ
racy." In opening his address he
said:
"I wish to congratulate the mili
tant democracy of Nebraska in not
only being true to the faith of our
fathers, but under all circumstances
have ever held aloft tho banner we
all so love. As in humble repre
sentative of the democracy of a sis
ter state, that has year after year
in adversity and defeat ever recog
nized the principle of equal rights
as tho foundation upon which re
ward is based, I bring to you kindly
greeting, it is but an illustration
of tho fact that tho principles of de
mocracy do not require success in
order to be loved and perpetuated
"More than 100 years ago, the or
ganization of which we are part had
its inception in this republic, and
during tho century thus closed, its
adherents have ever lived true to the
spirit of its founders. I sincerely be
lieve at no time in the history of our
nation have the principles of democ
racy been more firmly established in
JjSaH8 f lhe peoi)le than the
present time. Democracy is the life
iP,e of ee institution. A
united democracy lives not for it
self; a united democracy stands not
only in opposition to special privi
leges, but for equal rights. A united
democracy not only means the en
thronement of the masses, but the
de hronement of the classes. A
united democracy not only means
''The democratic party muqf r

control of the great hltf 'of 5
nation and' say to him? UoM not a
home with those .who believe that
the corporations should control rath
er than be controlled. For thoso
who believe in a revision of the tariff,
to such I say, they are not at home
in an organization that measures
prosperity by the height of a tariff
wall.
"If there is a democrat who be
lieves that the state is incapable of
legislating upon its domestic affairs,
but must appeal to the congress of
our nation for relief, then I say to
those of such opinion, his home is
not with the party of Jefferson.
There must be a parting of the ways,
but the parting must be up'on poli
cies rather than upon prejudices.
"When they say to us that this
nation is great because it exacts
tribute from one for the benefit of
another, we answer, that tribute is
contrary to every law and never
brought permanent prosperity to any
coiuntry. When they say it is right
and. just to take from the treasury
of the United States funds and pay
as tribute to the ship building trust,
we answer that tho history of the
greatest maritime nation of all times,
whose vessels are found in every
port and are today carrying more
than 53 per cent of the trade of
the world, do not receive a cent of
tribute.
"Does the steel trust have any hes
itancy in supporting republican poli
cies so long as the tariff on iron and
steel is untouched? Does the sugar
monopoly have any real fear of the
intention of republican leaders when
a republican congress is unwilling
to permit sugar to be imported free
of duty from the Philippine islands.
"President Roosevelt may mean all
right, but what is the intention of
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aid
rich? Do they stand to block tho
way of progress? What party can
today take up the question and ac
complish results? The answer comes
quickly, a united democracy.
"Democracy has the issue. It
stands for a revision of the tariff by
those who have been bearing the bur
den rather than by the beneficiaries,
for the control of the great high
ways of the country in the interest
of the people; for the destruction of
trusts and combinations that seek
not only to control prices, but the
source of supply. The tariff, trusts
and the control of the highways are
sufficient to engage the attention of
the people and of congress. Do you
