"Socialism presents a consistent the
ory, but a theory which, in my Judg
ment, does not take human nature
into account Its strength is in its
attack upon evils the existence of
'' which is confessed; its weakness is
that it would substitute . a new dis
ease if not a worse one for the dis
ease from which we suffer. The so
cialist is honest in the belief that
he has found a remedy for human ills,
and he must be answered with argu
ment, not with abuse. The best way
to oppose, socialism is to remedy the
abuses which have grown up under
individualism but which are not a
necessary part of individualism, and
the sooner the remedy is applied the
bettter.
"As I was leaving home I set forth
my reasons for opposing the socialistic
doctrine that the government should
own and operate all the means of pro
duction and transportation; my ob
servations during the past year have
strengthened my conviction on that
subject. Because I am anxious to pre
serve individualism, I am earnest in
my desire to see the trusts extermi
nated, root and branch, that the door
of onnortunitv mar be open to every
American citizen. I shall reserve for
another occasion a discussion of the
rapidly growing appropriations made
by the party in power. It is natural
- that those who look upon taxation as
a. hlpRsiTiir should view governmental
extravagance with complacency. Yet
oven the desire to find ways of spend
ing the revenues brought into the

account for the reckless expenditures

"But at this time I desire to center

nlntooratic tendencies that result
- therefrom. It demands a remedy and
the people are prepared to administer
ctrennniis treatment. The democratic
party offers a solution which is both
reasonable and adequate a solution
in which time honored principles are
applied to new conditions.
"The democratic party is not the
enemy of property., or of property
He-hts- it is. on the contrary, the best
defender of both, because it defends
human rights and human rights are
the only foundation upon which prop
ertv and urooerty rights can rest se
curely. The democratic party does not
menace a single dollar legitimately

sists upon the protection of rich and
poor alike in the enjoyment of that
whirh thev have honestly earned, 'ine
democratic party does not discourage
thrift, but on the contrary stimulates
each individual to the highest en-
' rteavor bv assuring him that he will
not be deprived of the fruits of his
toil. If we can. but repeal the laws
which enable men to reap where they
have not sown laws which enable
them to garner into their overflowing
barns the harvests that belong to oth
ers no one will be able to accumu
late enough to make his fortumr dan
gerous to the country. Special privi-
lege and the use of the taxing power
for private gain these are the twin
pillars upon which plutocracy rests.
To take away these supports and to
elevate the beneficiaries of special
legislation to the plane .of honest
effort ought to be the purpose of our
party. -
"And who can suffer Injury by just
taxation, Impartial laws and the ap
plication of the Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none? Only those whose ac-
cumulations are stained with dishon
esty and whose immoral methods have
given them a distorted view of busi
ness, of society and government. Ac
cumulating by concious frauds more
money than they can use upon them
selves, wisely distribute or safely
leave to their children, these
denounce as public enemies all who
question their methods or throw a
light upon their crimes.

Miss May Cray, 147 11th street, Brook

"For more than five years I suffered
from rheumatic pains in my joints, and
in damp or stormy weather I was
obliged to stay in doors.
"Medicine seemed to be of no use un
til I started using Peruna.
"I took twelve bottles in all, although
it is six months ago since I stopped.
"I have had no return of my old com

Keeps the Remedy at Hand.
Mrs. J. A. Baker, 880 Locust avenue,
Amsterdam, N. Y., writes :
"I feel it my duty to write and tell
you what Peruna has done for me, so
that all those who are troubled as I was
may find the same speedy cure.
"Four years ago I lost my voice, so
that I was unable to speak above a
whisper for seven weeks. Our family
doctor could do nothing for me.
"After seven weeks suffering, I read
some circulars in regard to Peruna.
- "I bought a bottle at once and took It
in teaspoonf ul doses every hour, and in
two days I could talk. I will never be
without it."

Mr. Bryan concluded his address
at 10:10 and the audience cheered
wildly for a minute. Then many hun

shake hands with the speaker. He
smiled again and again. Mr. Bryan
was a trifle hoarse when he ended, ,
showing, as he said, that he had not
made a speech In a long time to such
a vast audience or one that had cost
him such physical effort.
