within th republican party had established
In the lower house of congress a parlia

In the spesker of that body and his com

the spectacle! On one side 8O,0CO,00O of free
people demanding legislation to right an

men engaged In public plunder, aided by
the dominating power within the republi
can party, represented by the presiding
officer of th one popular branch of con
gress. And the plunderers and theae un
faithful-publio servants prevail over -th
people of this great republic. In this in
stance did the people rule?
On Februsry ,4, 1902, Congressman Bab
cock or 'Wisconsin, then chairman of th
republican congresalonsl committee, In
speaking of a bill he hsd Introduced to re
dutia th tariff On iron and ateel, and after
showing conclusively that the Interests of
farmers, Isborers, builders , and pther
classes would" be conserved by the passage
of th bill, aatd: "I am going to push th
bill to revise the tariff at every possible op
portunity. lf.tU.goes before the house It
will nsss by three to one."

But' Under the-'rules of the house, the
friends of this bill were unable to set It
before.' that ' body. Threefourthe of the

originally designed to. perform. Not only
was labor's request Ignored, but the hos
tile makeup of the committee was accen
tuated. Hon. L. White Bushby is the private sec
retary of Speaker Cannon. In a magasina
article discussing the powers of the speaker
Mr. bushby relates the circumstance of a
bill having been prepared and three-fourths
ot the members of the house having stsned
a request to the speaker asking that the
rules committee, nf which lie Is chairman,
bring In a special rule for the considera
tion of th bill. Tha speaker refund the
request. The chairman of the committee
pleaded and urged. Continuing, Mr. Buaby
says:
"As a final stroke the chairman said:
'Then. Mr. Speaker, 'this bill is to fall by
the will ot one man who Is in the chair
by our vot. We have no redreas from
thta one-man power." "Vee you have,' r
pllad the speaker; 'you have a way to pass
your bill. You placed me In the chair to
shoulder the responsibility of the legisla
tion here enacted. In my view I cannot
assume th responsibility for this bill. Tou
can- elect a new speaker today and pais
your bill If you can find one who will ac
cept that responsibility, but If you leave
me In the chair that bill will not become a
law.' "
Cannon'a Position.
Th genial and accomplished speaker had
spoken for himself on this subject. In an
Interview printed on August 20 in the 8t.
tils Globo-Democrat, a atalwart repub
i .in newspaper, he point out the only
remedy left to the people other than that
of the ballot box for the wrongs complained
of. The Interviewer aald:
"Mr. Speaker, you are al-o called a csar
and an element of the public press holds
you up aa the one all powerful Influence
In the house who thwarts the will of the
people and arbitrarily decides what legisla
tion shall b considered and passed in the
great popular branch ot the national con
gress." Mr. Cannon replied aa follows: "Undar
th constitution of the United States the
houae ot representatives organises l.eelf
and any member of the house, of any party
or no party, on any day, at any time, can
halt any business before the house and as
a question of highest privilege ofter a res
olution and Secure a vote on It to d. splat's
the apeaker ot th' house of. representatives
and put soma other member in Jils place."
- In other words, the remedy Is 10 dts
grace and destroy one of the highest of
ficers In the government to cast him fig
uratively from a political Tarpean rock,
to be erected by the members, with his
aonsent, for that purpoae.
I have suggested the other way by which
th 'American voters can regain their right
to self-government and that is by the as
sertion ot their manhood on election day
by rebuking with their ballots the party
which has brought about such an intoler
able condition.
Tiro forbid the multiplication of In
stance where the popular will has been
defied by th real 'republican leadership
sometimes by tha one-man power of the
house and sometimes by the few repre
sentatives of monopoly who dominate the
senate. Measure after measure scores ot
them favored by the people of- all parties
In many instance advocated strenuously
by the president, either failed of passage,
or were so emasculated by amendments ss
to utterly fail to register the popular will.
The question, "Shall the people, rule?"
Is one which demands the serloua and
earnest consideration of all men who are
interested in the perpetuation ot our Insti
tutions. Jt must be apparent to all who
have followed the course of legislation dur
ing th laat few years thst there is a
power within the republican party deter
mined that th people shall not rule. Tbat
power liaa manifested Itself whenever ef
fort has been made to check the destruc
tive work of unlawful combination, reduce
th oppreasive tariff tax, or enact any
leglslstlon looking towards the equalisa
tion or lightening, of the. burdens resting
upon the people.
Canaree and Roosevelt.
Thst dominant power which now guldea
and d'rec-ts tie republican party has, on
many occasions, defied the president in
casaa where he has, on the demand of tliu
masses, made sporadlo effurts in their be
hal. In some Instances h lias persuaded
this hsndful of leaders to compromise on
their owd terms, with the S0.0u),uuu ot people
whom he assumed to represent, but In most
cases h has been absolutely powerless.
That dominant leadership elects the
speaker of th house, names the commu
te of tne senate, and ia In full charge of
the Ingenious machinery provided for th
protection of Intrenched monopoly agalnet
th demands of the people. -
It dictated the platform adapted by that
party In Its national convention this year,
and after defying Mr. Roosevelt for threu
and a half years, and killing or crippling
nearly all his proposed reform legislation,
and having received his unstinted denuncia
tion therefor, proceeded with th finest
irony to indorse ills administration after
which It .dictated a commlWea to tak
chari of tne campaign, and la now In full
command ot the party organisation.
This dominant leadership is now clroulst

The question of tariff taxation Is one of
vital Interest. I am In hearty accord with
our platform declarations on that subject.
Tariff Revision.
The republican candidate for vice presi
dent, in his recent speech of acceptance,
lauded the Dln?le y,. bill and declared that
when enacted it wasr well adapted to exist
ing conditions, but proceeded to add "that
the developmenta of Industrial prosperity
Iij a deoade which, . In. volume and degree
have 'surpaased our most roseate expecta
tions, have so altered, condltiona that in
certain detail of sctlsdules they no longer
In every particular mete out justice to all."
For these reason, It' declared In favor of
a readjustment, "based on the broad prin
ciple of protection for all American Inter
ests, alike for labor and capital, for pro
ducers and-cpnsumel-4." The hundreds ot
thousands of American worklngmn who
are now vainly seeking employment were
doubtless delighted when they read about
ttiaH-WiduatTji prosperity" which so "ur
Csed ,our mow roseate expectations." ' In
usands of American homes families will
gather about dinner tablea which for many
months have nt been encumbered with -a
beefsteak and. Indulge In "roseate expecta
tions" ot their own.
American manufacturers, whose factories
are Idle by reason of a restricted market
and those whose 'business has been crip
pled by reason of a high tariff tax on raw
materials, will read this speech with pe
culiar satisfaction. If by reason of the
high tariff tax provided for In the Dlngley
bill factories were opened and labor given
employment at remunerative wages, and
our "roseate expectations" realised, why
should we now, when factories are closed,
and an army of men unemployed, seek to
revise that beneflcleh't measure at all? '
' If the wages of labor depend upon a high
tariff, why- should any man favor a reduc
tion of that tariff? if, after eleven ycara
of surpassing prosperity brought about by
the Dlngley bill, business languishes and
labor suffers, why not excite some more
"roseat expectations" by raising the
tariff rate, to the end that there may be a
much needed revival of business, and that
labor may again- flnrt employment?
The voters of 'America' are not Hkelv to
b.decelvd a to tha-titrlff questlrn by the
stork argumenta of the opposition. 1
The average Totec understands that the
tariff is a' tax to be paid by the consumer
pf the artidle taxed.'. He knowa that taxes
In excess of the neeM of the govemmont
are unjust and oppressive, and that ex
travagance in government administration
Indulged In for the mere purpose of crrnt
irg a neceasity for additional- taxation is
profligacy.
He Is also comlnc to know that the use
ol th taxing power of th government
in aucii ways that a ,few beneficiaries nuy
enrich themselves by levying tribute upon
the masses Is legalised robbery.
Kvery legitimate husinens interest In the
country Is demanding tariff reform.
The manufacturer, who la not a monopo
list, is demanding cheaper raw materials
and wider .markets for his products.
Effect ot Restricted Market.
The worklngman understands that a
restricted market means tireless furnaces
and enforced Idleness, jie knows that
American workmen, with their sup' rlor In
telligence and Ingenuity, with their im
proved macninery. witn cheap raw ma
terials and earning fur their emp'oyers
mora than twice as much as the i,. bore is
of any otiur country, have nothing to fear
from competition with woikmen anywhere,
when the products of their labor are set
down side by . side In the markets of the
world. The American worklngman hns had
bitter experienrta und r the operation of
tlie Dlngley bill. Under the shelter of this
tariff wall, trusts and combines have
sprung up cn every iiand and with extor
tionate prices confront the consumer on
eveiy ocean Um when he seeks to buy the
necessaries ot life.
I'nder this system tiie cost of living so
increased as to absorb tne earnings of the
laborer, after the nvist rigid economy and
self denial on I. Is part and that of his
family. And It Is a notewoilhy tact when,
as an Inevitable result, ot the fli-Hl policy
01 the republican party, the panic of IK'T
came, hundred of thousands of those
American laborers, who were thrown out
of employment Instead cf being uble to
draw upon the fabulous tavlngs bank ac

of republican statesmen.
The farmer umU rntands that while he
has to buy everything In a protected mar
ket, where, on nearly every purchase he Is
compelled to pay tribute 10 tae trusts snd
tariff beneficiaries, he Is compelled to sell
his surplus products In a free trurio mar

the farmer of Canada, Argentina, Aus
tralia, and other civilised countries buys

facturer cheaper than they are sold to I1I111.
Tliea American farmers read and think

system which invites such enormities.

tunes as menaces to the public welfare and
as promotive of evils which eat at th very
heart, of society. As remedies he has sug
gested an Income tsx and an Inheritance
tax, that their growth may be to some ex
tent checked. The national convention of
his party ia silent upon the question of
these proposed reforms, while the possess
ors of most of these swollen fortunes, al
lied as they are with the dominant forces
of th republican party, are giving genr
otis support to th republican national
ticket.
The democratic lrty, while favoring the
reform measures repudiated by th repub
lican national convention, has another
remedy. . It would by legislation In large
degree cut off the streams of money which
under the present system are flowing from
every horn In the land and emptying into
th confer of the trusts. It would leave
in the pockets of th producer and labor
ers of this land every dollar of th money
they earn, save only auch amounta aa may
be needed for the economical administra
tion of the government. It would, by rigor
ous Jaw . enforcement, atrtke down private
monopolies which prey upon the, people
and to protect the public against extortion
and Imposition by the great public cor
porations, whether by excessive charges or
by th over-Issue ot stocks and securities.
In other words, it would undertake to
bring about In government a realisation ot
that good old democratic maxim of Thomas
Jefferson, "Equal and exact Justlo to all
men, special privileges to none."
It has no war to wage on capital. It has
no quarrel with corporations honestly cap
italised on a legitimate business, according
to law. It will encourage the Inveatment
of capital In th development of the country
and protect It when Invested. It Will draw
a sharp line between lawful business law
fully conducted, and unlawful business, or
business carried on In defiance of law and
the rights of the public, protecting the one,
and protecting society from the other.
It calia upon men and corporations law
fully engaged In legitimate business, not
to ally themselves with men or corpora
tions engaged in lawless ventures, but to
take a stand with the democratic party In
favor of Such reforms as will purge the
business world of lawlessness and legal
ized extortion, to the end that honest cap
ital, and honest Inbor may go forward,
hand In hand, in the development of the
country, each yielding to each Ita Just due
In a spirit of fairness, and all striving for
the time when the door of opportunity shall
be open to all who desire and deserve to
enter.
Kern Makes Pledges.
I will not at this time discuss the several
flanks of the national platform. I endorse
lie platform in all Ita parts, and pledge
my Lest endeavora towards securing the
reforms to which til parly la by its Terms
committed. As th campaign progresses, I
shall discuss Its various features, from time
to time, as opportunity presents.
There was perfect unanimity in the con
vention k to the adoption of thl declara
tion of principles. Men from every state,
distinguished for their ability and patriot
lam prepared and presented It a a plat
form upon which all American voters, who
are In favor of the rule of the people, can
conscientiously stand.
Gontlemfnt w enter upon thla campaign
with every proi-pect of soccers. Never had
a pcllllcal platform been received with such
favor by all classes of people, and never
has a candidate been piesented by any
party, who was closer to the hearts of tho
people than our matchless standard bearer,
William J. Bryan. There la a movement
amongst the people for better government
which is growing In t rce day by day. It
Is confined to no one paity, but men of al!
parties, all trades and occupations are com
ing together and making common" cause In
behalf of a restoration of a government
of the people, for the people and by tha
people.
We must and will win thla battle with
out the us of money, or the aid of corf
poiate power. If our adversaries so deslro
when money and coercive influences are
let them pursue that course. But thrr
are times In the life of a nation like this
of no avail. There comes a time when the
quickened, consciences of an lightened
people Impel action, which neither money
nor Influence can check. That time. In
my Judgment, is here. Let eveiy man from
this hour forward perform tins dutv In a
manly and honorable way. Let this bo a
campaign of education argument. Let our
appeals be to the reason and patriotism of
t lie American people. Let us be vigilant
and unceasing In honest work tor a
righteous cause, and a glorious victory In
November will crown our efforts.

TAFT'S VIEWS OF MISSIONS
Gorernment Dependent Upon Them
for Either Civilization.
COUNTRY NEEDS TO WAKE UP
United ttatea Constitution Does Net
Especially Permit, bat Neither
Does It Forbid National
Altrnlsm.
HOT SPRINGS, Va Aug. 28. "A Little
Sermon 1 a Phonograph" Is what one of
the phonographic records recently made by
Judge Taft Is called. The generally ex
pressed curiosity to know what the repub
lican candidate said Into the talking ma
chine waa gratified today by this reproduc
tion: "I have known a good many people who
were opposed to foreign missions. I have
known a good many regular attendants at
church consistent members that relig
iously. It you chooaa to use that term, re
fused to contribute to foreign missions. I
confess that there was 'a time' when I
Was enjoying' a' snug provincialism that !
hope has left me now when I rather sym
pathised with that view.
"Until I went to the orient, until there
was thrust upon me the responsibilities
with reference to thb extension of civilisa
tion in those far-distant lands, I did not
realise tha Immense Importance ot foreign
missions. The truth Is wa have got to
waka up In thla country. Wa are not all
there la In the world. There are lots be
Ides us, and there are lots of people be
sides us that are entitled to our effort and
our money and our sacrifice to help them
on In the world.
"No man can study the movement of
modern civilisation from an Impartial
standpoint and not realise that Christian
ity and the spread ot Christianity ara the
only basis for hope of modern civilisation
In the growth of popular self-go verr. men t.
Christianity Par Democracy.
The spirit of Christianity Is pure democ
racy. It la the equality of man before Ood
the equality ot man before the law, which
la, aa 1 understand It, the most God-like
manifestation that man has been able to
make.
"I speak not of foreign missions from a
purely religious standpoint. That has been
and will be done. I speak of them from the
standpoint of political governmental ad
vancement, the advancement of modern
civilisation, and .1 think I have had aome
opportunity to know, how dependent we are
on the apread of Christianity for any hope
we may have for uplifting the peoplea
whom Providence haa thrust upon us for
our guidance. ,
"It la said that there Is nothing in the
constitution of tha United States that au
thorises national altruism of' that sort.
Well, of, course, there Is not, but there Is
nothing In tha. constitution of tha United
States ths-t forblda It. What there ia In
the constitution of the Unled States Is a
breahlng spirit that we are a nation with
all tha responsibilities that any nation ever
had, and therefor when It becomes tha
Christian duty of a nation to aaslst another
nation the constitution authorises It be
cause It Is part of national well being."

KEIFER ACTING CHAIRMAN
(Continued from First Psge.)
mske. i At Norfolk, Fremont, Wisner and
other towns out In the northwestern part
of the state I found many democrats who
are going to vote for Taft. In a prominent
doctor'a office In Norfolk the other day
1 ran onto a traveling nswapaper man who
haa always bet hla money on Bryan, lie
waa looking tr a man to bet against Taft.
I asked htm why h had changed. He re
plied: "'I have loat on Bryan twice. -I have
voted for him twice and now after a careful
Investigation I am satisfied he hss no
chance. I have $100 to bet Taft will carry
tha atate.'
"At Fremont the sentiment Is largsly In
favor of Taft and I found many democrats
who are going to vote for Taft. It was th
same at Wisner. Just as an example ot
how lb wind Is blowing: Al Fremont In
front of a store thsre Is a, board. On on
side are stuck Bryan knlvea and on the
other aide Taft knives. Only about half a
do sen Bryan knives have been sold and the
Taft aid has to be replenished frequently.
The boy In charge told me ha could not
all Bryan knives. At Bloux Falls a man ha
ths same arrangements, only he Is selling
Taft and Bryan watch fobs. He has no
call for Brysn fobs and he la getting rich
selling Taft fobs.

In discussing IoWa towns, Mr. Wallet'
said: "Iowa Is badly split In stats aTalrs
but Just the same Taft Is going to carry tlx

Both factions of tho party are fur Taft
