What principle of democracy does it ated. All of the dire calamities which were scheduled to take place if the republicans carried out their policy on the money question have been put aside. The great party which pledged itself to the American people as . an alterably opposed have shifted over to the position of being irrevocably in favor, of the gold standard.

I do not believe that the six and a half million men-who followed Bry an, with cheers on their lips and warm convictions in their hearts, can now be delivered like cattle to the Cleve- lanuites wna Knued the ticket or bolted it in 1896. I believe that the great majority of the men who voted It seems to me to be the most amaz ing; piece of effrontery for the demo craticlparty to go before the Ameri can people , and proclaim that for eight years they have been wrong and the republicans have been right and at the same time demand that the crowd which ftasi been' wrong shall be put. in the places of those who have for Bryan are men of conviction: 1 been rie:ht. It would indeed be a mir can not but hope they will realize that acle if any such thing would happen, and. so far as I am concerned, I do not believe it .will happen. Why da I say so? Because I believe that if the gold standard be right, as both the old parties now say it is, I am fighting their battle now j! Where are the voters who followed ; the fortunes of the democratic stand-iard-bearer in 1896 and 1900? Were 'they men of conviction? Did they ; honestly believe in the principles they the people of the country will give lirnfocam f ?

What is there for you in that platform? What do you get represent you? What Is it that he 'proposes to do for you? If you be lieve in republican doctrines, why vote for Parker? Why not "go the whole hog or none" and vote for House v el t? By what right do the democratic lead ers undertake to preach and expound to the American people any erououiic quraOons? How do we know that they have studied and mattered any cf those questions? Never In the world could It rmpha rixe Heclf on any Issue as It d!d on the money question from U to th ytzr of 1904. If all the writing and til of (he ipeechf which they madt CXtat the republican party, on th find cold comfort In the letter of their candidate who declares that, while he would be glad to see a revision of the tariff, he knows that he can not bring it to pass. To nave the trouble of any doubt upon that great subject, he hands in his capitulation to the republicans be fore a single gun Is fired. The campaign has hardly been opened before the standard bearer of democracy commences his retreat. Therefore, the great tariff question may be considered as "waived," Just as the great money question is "waived." Let ns soe what die the national democratic party present as an Imiu. In their platform lhey declare that further legislation it needed against the traits. But their candidate Id his speech of , acceptance, says that we have as much law as we need. For. all practical purposes therefore, the at titude of the national democrats on the trust question is precisely the same as that of the national repub 1 leans. And as further, proof that the dem ocratic platform will never cause any loss of sleep to the Havemeyers, the Rockefellers, you have only to remem ber that in, 1892 they, denounced the trusts and the protective tariff, with in whose barriers all trusts are formed, in language equally as strong as that used in the platform of 1904; and when we construe the meaning of the platform of '92 in the light of the admitted infamies of Cleveland's sec ond administration, with its well re membered surrender to the sugar trust, the patriotic citizen might hear tily exclaim, "God deliver us from an other redemption of democratic pledges on the subject of the tariff and trusts." But we are told that on the question of imperialism there is a difference, vital and far reaching, between the republicans and the democrats. What is it? We haVe seen that Judge Par ker is in favor of granting local self government to the Philippine Islands when they become prepared for it. When will they become prepared for it? Judge Parker does not state. Will it be four years, forty years, four hun dred years? No mortal can tell what the judge means. ; , But he certainly does not express the Intention to do anything whatever about it during his term, if he should be elected, nor does he specify where in the republicans have1 gone wrong in the management of that question. Let us presume that Judge Parker, against whose character I would not venture to say a word for I believe him to be an eminently worthy man let us presume, I say, that Judge Parker, as the champion and repre sentative of the great democratic par ty, has the courage of his convictions If we do presume this, his failure to state wherein he would make any change in the policy which the repub- icans are pursuing in the Philippines, is the most significant bit of silence n all of the various and interesting bits of silence to be found in Judge Parker's remarkable speech of accept ance. Where does the national democratic nartv stand on tha lahor miesHnh? Can anybody tell? We know what its record is. We have not forgotten how, at the call of the Pullman Palace Car company, a democratic president invaded a sov ereign state with federal troops. In spite of the protest of its democratic governorJohn P. Altgeld a better, abler and more patriotic man than ever Crover Cleveland was. We all remember how the strike of the workmen whose wages had been cut was broken bv the mailbag farce. and the prostitution of the power of the Unltod States army to the service of a greedy and heartless corporation. The democratic doctrine of state rlghta was trampled under foot, and. urged on by Olney. the railroad law yer, Grover Cleveland exercised a power which Daniel Webster, advising Andrew Jackson, bellcvtd could only be exercised by authority of a spe cial act of congress.
