government by injunction, and criti
cise as cowardly their refusal, by a
vote of 880 to 04, to allow publicity
as to the funds received -in their
campaigns, and the manner of using
thorn, and from whom fried out or
collected.
Strip the republican party, as set
forth in its platfofcm, of the progres
sive ideas1 incorporated into it by the
president, such as rate legislation,
protection of our natural resources,
the eight-hour labor law, and the
employers' liability act all of which
were borrowed or appropriated by
the president from Mr. Bryan, with
his knowledge, but without his con
sent and there is nothing left but
the old, hackneyed plank for a pro
tective tariff, which even they admit
must be revised, find the endorse
ment of the "hurry Aldrich" finan
cial bill, which means turning over
the control of our finances to the
stock gamblers and money masters
of Wall Street, thus putting the des
tiny of the people into their hands,
to destroy or keep alive, as they will.
In pleasing contrast to the princi
ples of the republican party, standing
as it does for a monopoly protective
tariff; a financial system, not for the
consumer and producer, but manu
factured in Wall Street for the mon
ey power;: a strong centralized gov
ernment,, almost. denying state rights
and proclaiming government by in
junction ; no income tax, but rev
enues collected from necessities and
the poor, and hatred and malice, as
shown by their mention of the south
. we proudly hold up the grand
principles of Jefferson, as contended
'for by sound democracy and now
championed and upheld by the logic
'jlnd eloquence of Bryan.
Democracy stands for all the peo
ple, not a special few for each to
bear his burdens, but Uia burdens, on
.the helpless to be less than on th.e
great and strong; protection for alj,
destruction tor none; employer and
, employe bot,h safeguarded alike; in
junctions in industrial disputes never
to issue without notice and a full
.hearing; no injunction in labor
troubles that would not lie in other
cases, and contempt proceeding to be
tried by jury, unless committed in
the actual presence of the court; sen
ators lb be elected by direct vote of
the. people; arid a financial system,
elastic, but strong, not made for Wall
Street, but for the protection of the
people, and requiring banks to
abundantly secure all deposits.
We likewise declare for the pro
tection of our forests, the preserva
tion of our minerals, and the deep
ening of our waterways, not by idle
protestations, as the republicans did
in their platform, but by the words
and acts of our members in con
gress as they strove against Cannon
for relief at the last scsion.
And last, but not least, we demand
at once a fair and honest revisi n of

Republicanism, Mr. Chairman,
stands for sectional hate.
Democracy, for brotherly love.
Republicanism fosters crime,
Crime breeds corruption, and pro
tects only the powerful and great.
Democracy denounces vice, prose
cutes crime, and shields all alike!
Republicanism arrogates to itself
almost the power of Divinity,
and boastfully professes to do
all things good; while democracy,
askiiig help from a Supreme Ruler,
and vaunting not itself, points to its
past history of a hundred years as a
guarantee of its recor'l for the future;.
Then, with- such principles and so
great a leader, -coupled with the mis
takes of our opponents, bringing into
our nation suffering instead of re
joicing, and poverty instead of pros
perity, how can we lose the victory
this year?
It is true that the democratic party
has twice placed Its banner in Mr.
Bryan's hands, and it Is likewise true
that he did not carry it to victory,
but, as he said of himself, he kept
the" faith and returned that banner
to us four years ago unstained and,
unsullied, and today, though twice
defeated, has arisen stronger and
grander than before, and is remem
bered and beloved, while his tra-
ducers have long been forgotten. The
very fact thai from ' every section
comes the cry, "Bryan! ' Give us
Bryan!" shows he is not dead, but
still lives deep In the' affectionate
hearts of a grateful people, who are
more determined than ever to nom
inate' Knd elect him president of the
nation. ' , '
If you want a man, pure yet
strong, "brave but tender, generous
and still; patriotic, the very highest
type of ; American nianhood, against
whom can he charged no act of dis
loyalty; dishonor, or' corruption, Tmt
who stands fearlessly the champion
of the poor and needy, proclaiming
to the oppreSsor, "You shall not press
down upon tjie brow of Jabor this
crown of thorns; you shall not cru
cify mankind upon a cross of gold,"
that man is Mr. Bryan.
Nominate him, and he will cer
tainly be elected. The reading of the
stars, the signs of the times, the
needs of the hour, the demands of the
people, all predict, and declare it;
and when he comes to his own, as
he will next March, he will make the
greatest president of the grandest
nation the world has ever known.
Mr. Chairman, a man who is faith
ful and true in his private life will
be honest and just in his public ca
reer. A man who believes in hu
manity and truly serves his God will
never be false to his country or un
just to his people. Such a man is
Mr. Bryan.
And now, once more voicing the
wishes of the nation, as well .as my
own state, that first had the honor of
suggesting him for president h. 1896,
and has remained loyal to him ever
since, I again second and urge the
nomination of this peerless, brainy,
towering, intellectual' giant and
statesman, beloved at' home and hon
ored and respected abroad, the. great
commoner of the world -William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska.,
AliASlCA'S NEW INDUSTRY
The report of the superintendent
of the agricultural station on Kodiak
Island shows something of the possi
bilities before Alaska in the line of
agricultural development, up to the
point, at least, when the territory
can raise the main portion of its own
food supply. Particularly of value
is that portion of the report which
deals with success in cattle raising.
The station has a herd of pure-bred
Galloway cattle, which is increasing
as fast as any herd of its kind any
where in the United States. They
have proved to bo fairly good milk
ers and are good rustlers. In addi
tion to this, their thick hair makes
their hides valuable for robes and
overcoats. The superintendent- in
sists that a fine Galloway hide grown
in Alaska for these purposes will dis
count tho boar skin in beauty and
service.
Tho government plans to raise and
sell cattle to settlers at a reasonable
figure, and thus encourage, as far as
possible, other people to enter into
tho cattle industry. Tho superin
tendent says, and he has somo years
of experience to guide him, that the
climatic conditions along tho south
ern coast and along the Wands aro
favorable for cattle raising and that
there are excellent opportunities for
the right men, with some capital, to
make a start in it. The Country is
new and tho range is unlimited.
As the range is becoming depleted
in other parts of tho country it Is
strange that greater attention has not
been directed "toward the islands to
which he refers, both for nnttln nmi
sheep breeding. English companies
of large capital have gone Into sheep
raising in tho distant Falkland
Islands, which do not present one
half the advantages of the islands
of the Aleutian Peninsula, and have
been good dividend payers for years.

TILLMAN'S START
An interesting story is related ih
connection with Senator Tillman's
Ideals of agricultural education. It
was through a rebuke admirilat6red
to him some years ago when he tried
to explain his ideals that he entered
politics.
There was an old agricultural col
lege in the state in those days. In
connection with it a meeting was
called at Columbia, S. C. Mr. Till-'
man, who was then a farmer living
on his lower plantation attended the
meeting. He tried to address tho
mooting, but it is related that John
C. Haskell, a son-in-law of Wado
llampton, rather Intimated that Mr.
Tillman knew little about tho sub
ject, and ho was not afforded an
opportunity to air his views.
Mr. Tillman smarted under what
ho regarded as a rebuke from ono
of the leading aristocrats of the
state. Returning to his plantation,
ho wrote an exposition of his vlows
on agricultural education and sent it
to the Cotton Planter, then an Influ
ential journal among southern agri
cultural Interests. This article at
tracted attention everywhere, and
Mr. Tillman, still a farmer without
political ambitions, was asked to ad
dress a meeting at Bonnctvillo. Ho
accepted. His views made a hit. Ho
was asked to make another address.
Ho accepted. Organization was ef
fected among the farmers, and in
less than a year Mr. Tillman wna
elected governor of South Carolina.
Primaries came into vague in
South Carolina ahout that time, and
tho aristocracy of old families who
had been in political control wore un
horsed under the leadership of Mr.
Tillman. . It was as governor that
Mr. Tillman brought about the es
tablishment of tho Clcmson and Wln
throp schools and it was tho rebuko
from Haskell that really forced Till
man into politics. St. Louis Globe-Deraocrat.
