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
