prevent you from going into tte party
that means something for the east,
the west, the nqrth and the south.
If you want to follow that delusion
again, you are privileged to do it. I
have no right to "dictate to you. But
if you want to be guided by the lamp
of experience I beg you to remember
they pledged all of this, in 1892 and
In, 1896 they broke them. Do it if
you like, but do it with your eyes
open. We started this populist party
to fight for what is right. We said
w would fieht both the old parties
waiisff thev both are wrong. WhenJ
you are fighting a thing that is wrong
you never should drop your gun until
you are whipped or the other fellow
is whipped. (Applause.) Where does
the people's . party stand, I haven't
the time now, but bear with me one
moment while -I sketch them briefly.
We say that the people ought to own
the public roads. (Applause.) We say
it' is an outrage on justice that cor
porations should own our national
highways, erecting . their toll gates
along the highways of travel and mak
ing all passengers ana freight pay
to the limit that they can. -.1 say that
the nation ought to own the national-
highways; run them. in the interest or
all and not in the interest ot indi
viduals. We say again, tne taxes of
the' government should not be laid
upon the necessities of life, but there
should be an income tax to pay the
-.enormous expenses of this national
government. (Applause.) If you
levy the income tax according to the
Jeff ersonian -method, you lay it on the
richest people who are the most able
to bear it. If you take an incoinetax
you will put it upon, the people who
get the greatest benefits out :of this
government and who should pay the
most. And if you lay it upon the
rich, on the great capitalists, -you will
lay it upon the people who stayed at
home during the war, and speculated
upon the necessities of the country
and filled their pockets while 4fie sol
dier was at the front ngiitlng for his
country's cause. If you.put'it on the
rich man you will have an economi
cal government, because while .the
rich man is a little careiess of how
your money is spent, he is careful
about how his money is spent; . When
you make him foot the bills he will
make the government become econom
ical. Furthermore, we say that labor
should receive" the wealth which it
produces by a more equiiaDie system
of distribution than .we now have. ,
' It looks to us . like an outrage that
the meu'whS toil Und produceshould
be, those who suffer most and enjoy
less, while those '.' who work less
enjoy most and have the "most. ! It
seems to me a horrible proposition
that thousands of people should be
born into the world every year with-
ourse.

master of their own muscie, witrrtne
right to earn a livelinooa, with equal
ity to all. We say our system -of fi
nance should be exactly what the con
stitution prescribes, and that no bank
ing system can stand between the gov
ernment and the people, arrogating to
themselves the sovereign right lQ
make moneyand using that privilege
to enrich themselves, and entrench
themselves in their powers over the
poor. We 1 say further, In order to
keep the government in the hands of
the people, they ought to have the
right to initiate legislation, to have
legislation referred to them; to have
the imperative mandate in order that
the democratic will and power should
always' be a living force to control
our government in the way or right
j j..i.t
aim justice.
Now, fellow citizens, wnile there is
much more that I could say, would
say, , but my physicar powers are not
equal to the task. Bear with me just
a moment.- v
Of course, you will understand that
hereafter in a letter which I will write,
I will elaborate our principles and en
deavor to make them more forcible,
clearer f comprehension to the aver
age person. ; Nothing that I have said
today have I intended to stir up ill
feeling.- As far as the republicans can
see that we are . rignt, 1 would like
for them to come with us; as far as
the democrats can see that we are
right, I would like for them to come,
with, us. ,1 believe with the hosts,
the great mass of people., on the re
publican and democratic sides want to
be right, mean to be honest, and will
vote 'their gpnviction, if they, knew
what. was . the justice of their case.
Men have been misled, and men will
be misled in the future.
(Speaker here takes a seat and con
tinues.)
If I were looking onry to Immedi
ate results I would not be hereNtoday.
I regard this as something of an open
ing toward the campaign of 1908. It
seemed to me that this country did
not need two republican parties'. (Ap
plause.) It seems to me that the peor
pie ought to have one party.. If this
republics, is to be redeemed from its
plutocartlc tendencies we nave got no
time to lose. The grip of the financial
king Is getting stronger on us every
day. Our power of resistence is grow
ing less every day.. If we are to keep
this nation true to the principles of its
founders, it is high time we realized
that we must be up and doing. We
have commenced this campaign, not
because we expect to win, but because
we vant to unfold the colors of the
right of people of common humanity
and establish a recruiting station
for all those who want to come. (Ap
plause.) Somebody has got to do it
We had just as well do it as to wait
for anybody else. Somebody ha3 got
to take the risk; we had just as well
take U as wait for some one else.
Somebody has got to take hard knocks,
and abuse, and we can stand it as
well as any one else.
One coward, breaking the ranks
and crying out. "save himself who
can," may stampede a company, which
will demoralize a regiment whose de
moralization will bring defeat to an
army. (Applause.) When-as. one
brave man may catch up the fallen
colors, wave them high above the
smoke of battle ami say to the heroes
"follow mi" and thus may become the
arwlotw of an inducible army. (Ao

Populists! never doubt that I' am
with you, heart and soul. ' Your creed
was never dearer to me; your cause
more sacredly just Keep the faith, and
feed the tires of your hopes. Your time
will come.-'Wrongs may multiply, but
we must not abandon the right. Stand
to your principles; stand by your nominees.
Comrades' it will all come right;, it

We found the tree of human liberty

torch ol freedom burning; let us keetv

die it must be so; but let him scatter
good seed first then leave the harvest
to Time and to God.
As "firmly as if my feet were, on the
rocks, I believe in the final triumph of

the earth. Parties may come and go,
forge and fraud may rule the day, but

and rule the hearts of airmen.
The clouds gather, I know, and the
storm and the darkness come upon the
land. The weaklings perish; the birds
of the day fall and flutter (and die.
But the eagle he of the ages strong
of wing and dauntless of heart, rises
against the storm, beats his way
through it, and beyond, it, and gives a
fierce cry of joy as he bathes his wings
in the sunlight above the cloud. Oh,
spirit of populism! Be thou. the eagle
to rise-against the darkness and the
storm, and to live in the sunlight be
yond, when the tempest Is passed and
gone. (Long applause.)
