The Campaign Put Fire on the Ter

WHO GAINED GROUND IN CONTEST
Legislation Has Been k Helping the
Strong to Plunder the Helpless
And Weak
That the movement in the east which
followed Hon. Thomas E. Watson dur
ing the late campaign, is a permanent
one was shown by the pleasant little
banquet given Mr. Watson at Union
Square Hotel this evening, at which
between one and two hundred persons
were present. It was under the aus
pices of the city committee of the peo
ple's party and was attended by many
of the best known leaders of thought
in New York, among whom may be
mentioned J. G. Phelps-Stokes, Justice
Samuel Seabury, Dr. John H. Girdner,
Melvin G. Palliser, Gustav W. Thom
son, George A. Honnecker, late popu
list candidate for governor of New Jer
sey, Mr. J. M. Hazzard, managing edi
tor of the American Press Association,
Mr.. Charle3 H. Tcwne, editor of the
Smart Set, Mr. John Milton Scott, edi
tor of "Mind;" and the Hon. Charle3
Q. De France, secretary of the national
people's, party. Among others in at
tendance were the editorial and busi
ness staff of Tom Watson's Mazagine.
Short speeches were made by Mr.
Phelps-Stokes, Mr. George L. Rusby of
New Jersey, Hon. A. J. Boulton, peo
ple's party candidate for governor of
New York ,and several others. Every
mention of. Mr. Watson s name was
cheered to the echo, as were also the
many predictions of renewed populist
activity in the future. Mr. Watson
was given an ovation wrhen he was in
troduced which was repeated again at
the close of his address.- He spoke in
his happiest vein.
"In civil life as in war," he said,
"a crisis may demand that some one
should lead a forlorn hope. Victory is
not expected, glory may not be won;
but duty calls the soldier and he an
swers 'Here' to do or die in her exact
ing service.
"During" the presidential campaign
of 1904, it fell to my lot to lead the for

of the burden, I took it up and bore
it as best I could; and I am proud to

Yee. DR. MILES MEDICAL CO,
ridicule which beat upon ua, we upheld
the banner of Jeifersonian democracy
at a time when its trusted leaders had
weakly surrendered or basely deserted.
"The democratic party had grown
weary of the virtue which meets with
no substantial earthly reward.
"To lay up treasure in heaven is
apparently no part of Its program.
"For eight years prior to 1904 it
had done business on principles for
cibly borrowed from the people's party;
but, while these principles were right
they had not yet become sufficiently
popular to command a majority vote.
" 'We are tired of being in the mi
nority! 'cried the democratic, leaders;
aiid they astonished mankind by try
ing to win the game with the cards
which the republicans had already
dealt to themselves.
"The result was precisely what might
have bean expected by anybody except
the party which, after having sent its
prayers skyward through a megaphone,
chose August'Belmont for its cashier,
Grover Cleveland for its wet nurse,
Tom Taggart for its prophet, and Dave
Hill's favorite pupil for its candidate.
"The smoke of b?ttle has now lifted;
the campaign liar is taking a well
earned vacation; James Creelman has
turned his attention to Thomas Law
son; and we may, at length, form some
accurate estimate of what was ac
complished by the campaign of 1904.
"Who gained ground by that contest?
"The Radicals. "
"The republicans stood for conser
vatism; the democrats stood for con
servatism. No issues were raised.
"The two old paries were so deter
mined not to alarm anything, or any
body, that they did not even alarm
each other.
"On every subject Finance, Tariff,
Imperialism the attitude of the two
presidential candidates was so nearly
identical that neither of them .ever
could or would define the difference.
"The radicals stood for vital reforms.
"And now what is the result?
"The conservatism of republicans
and democrats has been cast asid$, and
the dear old twins are doing their best,
in congress, to convince the people
ihit they themselves are radicals.
"They realize that the great deeps
of American thought have been brok
en up and that irresistible waves are
beating against the walls of special
privilege and monopoly.
"Suppose that Eugene Debs had not
made his splendid fight; suppose I had
failed to answer the call of the Spring
field convention, does any one believe
that congress would now pretend to be
so eagerly interested in reform?
"Year in and year out the wrongs
under which our people suffer had
cried aloud for redress and no presi
dent had rushed to our relief.
"It was the campaign of 1904 that
put fire on' the terrapin's back and
made him begin to crawl.
"Can the republican party give the
people the reforms they need? Impos
sible! "There are too many republicans per
sonally interested in keeping things
substantially as they are.
"Can the democratic party do the
work? Impossible!
There are too many democrats per
sonally interested in keeping things
substantially as they are.
What then is the hope of the coun
try? The union of all reformers. We
must draw from the republican party
those who oppose class law and money
bag aristocracy; we must draw from
the democratic party every true-hearted
Jeffersonian. We must gather into one
compact aggressive movement all pat
riots, no matter what they call them
elves, who are broad-minded enough to
agree upon essential reforms which
are within the reach of this generation.
We must choose for leaders men who
have in their make-up the fire of the
crusader and the ; consecrated zeal of
the martyr men who are not to be
tempted, or bullied; men who fear
nothing in God Almighty's world ex
cept to violate their own sense of right.
. "This people will, not be redeemed
from misrule by leaders who never
dare to take a stand upon any question
until they-have first considered, anx
iously, how it will affect the vote. Sich
reform as we need will 'never come if
we wait for those who measure right
and wrong with ; the yard-stick of a
political convention. That party, or
that set of leaders, which never knows
what it believes in, or what it stands
for, until. its national convention has
adjourned, deserves no toleration from
gods or mfin. The only party and the
only set of leaders which deserves re
spect, or can hope to make the world
better by Its labor, is that which adopts
it screed with conscientious intelli
gence, fights for it with fearless de
votion, and clings to it, throughout the
night and the storm, with a fidelity.
which no discouragement can shake.
"Great is the original thinker; great
the emotional orator; but thought, how
ever wise, speech, however sublime,
avail nothing until the worker comes
into the field. Rousseau a thought was
profound, but it was tho worker of
the French revolution who shaped rad
ical ideas into laws and institutions.
For many a generation, England had
her democratic thinkers and her dem
ocratic orators, but the people had no
civil liberties until the workers and
the fighters had made the creed of the
student the chart by which they moved,
the plan by which they worked and
fought So in this land, we have had
the thinkersfrom Jefferson's time
down to that of Henry George; we have
had the orators, from Fatrick Henry
down to well, down to John Sharp
Williams. But to win, we need workH
ers. We need men who put principle
above party, patriotism-above self,
duty above hunger for office. We want
men who are not afraid to be in the
minority, if they are right; men who
would rather hear the still, small voice
of an approving conscience than to
listen to the roar of a nation which
blindly applauds the wrong.
"To the men who want thus to work,
the American world offers tasks wor
thy to enlist all the strength of the
mind, all the zeal of the heart. Com
mercial slavery holds in chains tens
of thousand of the 'little boys and girls
of our land. We are cowards and be
come parties to the crime, if we do not
heed the cry of the children, and do
our utmost to strike the fetters from
their helpless limbs. Ten millions of
our fellow" citizens are in poverty, and
their condition threatens the whole
body politic for with poverty comes
an infinity of woes not confined to the
poor. Almost exclusively the poverty
from which we suffer results from bad
laws and dishonest administration.
Legislation has been helping the strong
to plunder the weak; dishonest admin
istration has been aiding piratical cap
ital to exploit a submissive public;
dishonest- officeholders have been giv
ing away to greedy corporations the
most valuable property which belonged
to the people; and franchises which
should have been exercised for the ben
efit of all, are being used by the few to
rob the many.
"Again, we see everywhere that we
no longer have representative govern
ment. The people do not control. The
senate of the United Statfs is selected
by organized capital,, and obeys its
master. The federal judiciary, ap
pointed for life, owing nothing to the
people, and not responsible to them, is
hhe bulwark of money-bag aristocracy.
When corporation tyranny shall have
been checked at every other point, it
will entrench itself behind this un
democratic and irresponsible power,
and it may happen that the president,
and congress will assault in vain the
common enemy when it is shielded by
those judges who claim and exercise
the right to nullify legislation upon
which congress and the president have
agreed. We must give back to the
people the power to initiate and vote
legislation; the right to control their
representatives; the right to remove
the officeholder who betrays his trust.
If we had had no other doctrine beside
that, in the last campaign if we had
no other now that doctrine alone
would justify us in the determination
to keep in the line of battle.
"Comrades, in this, the dawn of the
new year, let us revive our energies,
strengthen our purpose, and press for
ward. For my part, my motto shall
be that of Seneca's pilot when, In the
midst of the tempest, he cried out:
" 'O, Neptune! You can save me if
you will; you can sink me if you will,
but whatever be my fate, I shall hold
my rudder true.' "
