Ifom.er. jAKADA MILLS jCQ,, Cect 3S Grwvi MWjf Bryan's right-haud men in tho demo cratic convention, and at Mr. Bryan's instance has been made treasurer of tho democratic national committee. It is appalling to think what would have been the result in tho educa tional systems of tho Philippines and Porto Rico, in tho digging o the Panama canal, in the work of irriga tion and rcforestration, in the ad ministration, of tho postofflce, tho in terior and agricultural departments, in the appointments of foreign min- isiers, u tnis spirit which has actu ated the democratic authorities in tho state of Oklahoma should be per mitted to take control of tho feder al government at Washington. Gov ernor Haskell, by actions which speak louder than words, has de clared his disbelief in Grover Cleve land's motto, 'A public office is public trust,' and Mr. Haskell Is a, representative leader in tho Bryan democracy. What does Mr. Bryan think of Mr. Cleveland's principle? What do tho American people think of Mr. Haskell's contemptuous re versal of it?' No Investigation is Required "YOU close vour tdlotrram hv snv- Ing that you expect and will demand! rair and honorable treatment from those who are in charge of tho re publican campaign. 1 am not in charge of tho campaign, but am greatly Interested in it. I havo told you above, fair and honorably, that Governor Haskell is a man who, on every count I havo named, Is un worthy of a position In our public life. No further investigation of theso facts is required. They are spread on tho record before you and they were available before Mr. Has kell was chosen for his position for treasurer. You also say that you will not permit any responsible mem ber of tho republican organization to misrepresent tho attitude of your party in the present campaign. You will havo no difficulty in getting me to represent it aright, for my sole anxiety is that tho people of this country shall understand this atti tude clearly and then condemn it as it clearly should bo condemned. "You say that you have advocated more radical measures against pri vate monopolies than either I or my party associates havo been willing to undertake. You have indeed ad vocated more measures that sound more radical, but they have tho prime defect that in practice they would not work. I should not. In this letter to you discuss your attitude on this question if you did not yourself bring it up, but as you have brought it up l answer you tnat in my judg ment the measures you advocate would be ineffective in curing a single evil, and so far as they had any effect at all would merely throw tho entire business of the country in to hopeless and utter confusion. Deeds Against Words "I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft he judged by all his deeds, for he wishes nono of fhera forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now.desiro to havo for gotten. "I ask that your present plans for regulating the trusts be judged in connection with your past utterances that you did not believe in their regulation, but in their destruction and then again in connection, with your past utterances to the effect that only government ownership by a complicated national and state sys tem of railroads would avail; and again by your past utterances when you proposed to remedy all the suf ferings of our people by a depreciat ed currency. "For several years, now, I have been steadfastly flgatinff to scnro: thorough-going and far-reaching con trol in the interest of tho public over tho great business combinations which do an interstato business. In this effort I havo been as much ham pered by tho extremists, well mean ing or otherwIsD who ilnmnnrlnil vin- ionary and irnpracticablo radicalism! as by those other extremists, no less dangerous, who stand for tho reac tionary refusal to remedy any griev ance. Ono side, tho sldn on which I am obliged to say you havo placed yourself, has shown itsolf to bo juat as much the enemy of progress as tho other. Natural to Prefer Bryan "I hold it entirely natural for any great law-defying corporation to wish to see you placed in the presidency rather than Mr. Taft. Your plans to put a stop to tho abuses of theso corporations aro wholly chimerical; how chimerical your last plan is you will yourself seo if you read Gov ernor Hughes' speech at Youngs town, Ohio. To recall to your mind what Governor Hughes said I quote as follows: " 'When wo consider those (pro posed) remedies (of Mr. Bryan against the trusts) wo find ourselves journeying in a land of dreams. Again tho magician of 189G waves his wand. At a stroke difficulties disappear and the complex problems of modern business aro forgotten in tho fascination of the simple panacea. Tho most important proposal df Mr. Bryan is that any manufacturing or trading corporation engaged in inter stato commerce shall be required to take out a federal license before it shall bo permitted to control as much as twenty-five per cent of the pro duct in which it deals, and no cor poration shall bo permitted to con trol 'more than fifty per cent of tho total amount of any such product consumed in tho United States.' What Docs It Mean? "It might bo interesting to ln quiro what is the meaning of 'any product consumed in tho United States. Does it refer to a class of commodities, and if so, how shall the classes be defined? Or does it refer to each separate article of com merce, and if so, what account does this approval take of tho skill and initiative of manufacturers who have built up a moro or less exclusively trade In particular articles often pro tected by trado marks, although in most active competition with other articles designed for tho same gen eral purpose and seeking the same market? In a desire to correct the evils of business are we to place all embargo upon honest endeavor whose activities present none of the abuses requiring remedies, and if not what statutory definitions shall bo found too adequate and just by us If we lay down our prohibition in terms of volume or ratio of business and not In terms of right and wrong? "If we adopt Mr. Bryan's proposal, to what period of production Is the prohibition to apply; is tho excess for a day or for a month to be con sidered, or is the production for a year to be taken? and what system shall bo devised Ly -hich suitable Information may be furnished in the nature of danger signals along the routes of trade so that the manufac turer may know when he te about to exceed the "escribed ratio? He may justly be required to govern his own conduct, but how shall he be apprised of the conduct of others, upon which is to depend his guilt or innocenee? "Let us repeat that no law-defying corporation has anything to. fear from you save what it will suffer in the general paralysis of business which any attempt on your part to reduce to practice what yo have ad vocated would bring. This paralysis would affect tho wage worker, the The O. fl. ClTll 8rr rlc otter nnuiual ailrnniaKOi to American men and wouipji ovrr 11 yrarsot m.
