BRYAN AM) THE TAXING POWER Mr. Bryan's frequent allusions on the stump to what he calls "the tax eaters" Is a reminder that his views on the taxing power have nlways been t variance with those of sounder au thorities on economic problems. In an address before, the students at Chicago university on Sept. 10, 1S0G, ho pro pounded the question, "Is there any Just rule for the collecting of taxes?" which he answered In the negative. From his viuwpolnt the answer Is en tirely plausible and consistent lie is committed to policies which, if practi cable and operative, would make the collecting of taxes both needless and absurd. Ills method Is described In the following extract from a speech which ho delivered In Memphis: "Wo insist that legislation can undo what legislation did. We insist that -tho opening of our mints will create a 'demand which the closing of our mints destroyed and that the demand for silver will raise the prico of silver bul lion to $1.29 anywhere in the world." The cardinal principle of Mr. Bry. tan's philosophy is that wealth Is ere--nted by legislation rather than by la 'bor. He holds that the government by more flat can fix tiie value of commodi ties which are produced by competi tive enterprise and disposed of in com petltlve markets. lie uses silver to Il lustrate his plan and would have the -public believe that the United States alone and unaided could by mere leg islative enactment treble the price of sliver bullion everywhere in the world. It Is obvious, however, that If the gov ernment can do any such thing with -silver It can do likewise with wheat, "wool, pig Iron, mess pork or any other -staple product of labor. It follows, therefore, that if values wnay bo created by legislation Instead of by toll the exercise of the taxing power by the government for the pur pose of raising revenue Is nn net of tyranny which should not bo tolerated for a single day. If money can bo created by flat, as Mr. Bryan has so constantly Insisted, the government should be nlways rich Instead of al ways poor, and all taxes should bo re pealed. Moreover, if the value of each BRYAN'S SPECIOUS RECORD. "What is It that we hare, to expect from Mr. Bryan? Have we anything to expect but what he promises? Have we anything to expect but what is based upon his eloquence and his adroitness as a public critic? Has he ever ghen any practical demonstration of his ability to meet problems nnd solve them? lias ho ever done any thing but formulate propositions in his closet of an utterly Impracticable plausibility, and very little with a view of their operation? 'By their fruits we shall know them.' "With the record of promises and prophecies unfullilled for a period of twelve years; with this record of a hunt for an Issue upon which to achieve the presidency ; with this rec ord of repudiation, of negotiation and of running away from national respon sibilities, Mr. Bryan comes forward and asks that the people now give him an opportunity to put Into operation new reforms In respect to trusts and In respect to guaranty of bank depos its, wholly untried, wholly theoretical, and on their face hearing evidence of their impracticability nud of having been devised by the ready brain of one looking for plausible arguments rather than real reforms. He only in a nualiflcd way approved the postal savings bank recommended by the Re publican platform, which Is a tried and proved means of encouraging the wage-earner and small farmer to make deposits in a hank absolutely secure; but much prefers a system which takes a man's money to pay nnother man's default, and which Instead of strength ening our hanking system will brenk it down by destroying the value of the banking character and experience and capital and by offering inducement to reckless and speculative bankers with out character or capital. "The record of Mr. Bryan and his character, as It la understood by a twelve years' acquaintance with him. have Impressed the business communi ty of this country nnd those whose judgment determines whether or not capital shall b invested that lie is not a safe man with whom to try experi ments in government; tliat he loves financial theories that are full of so phistry and, are Impractical ; that lie advances propositions with but little Mr.s.e of respect as to how they may be ciirrhd out in practice, and that he gives but little attention to the wel fare of the conservative business com munity in ills suggestions of reform. Certainly his record justifies this judg ment of him by the business men. If he was to he elected, unquestionably because of bis record, however much now he may see!: to pose as a conserva tive because of his record, because of the failure of the theory which he has proposed for the last twelve years his election will mean, a paralysis of business, and we should hnve a recur rence of the disastrous business con dition of the last Democratic adminis tration."

He says thnt Roosevelt's denials of the relations of the admin istration and the Standard Oil Com pany loses force when it is remem bered that he made a similar denial four years ago when Parker declar ed the Republican managers In charge of Roosevelt's campaign re ceived money from the corporations. Mack says emphatically that the Taft managers requiring a million dollars, made a bargain with the Standard Oil Company for the pres ent campaign, and says the publica tion of the list of contributors to the Republican fund will prove the facts. SAYS LCK LIES. Chairman Hitchcock Replies to Dem ocratic Charge. (By Associated Press.' NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Chairman Hitchcock in answering Mr. Mack's statement, said: "The assertion that there has been negotiations between myself and the Standard Oil Company In reference to campaign contributions, is ab solutely untrue. So far as I know no contributions have been made to the campaign fund by any person connected with the Standard Oil Company in any capacity, nor has any such contribution been solicited.

(By Associated Press.) KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2. W. II. Bryan was greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd here. He review ed the main issues of the campaign and noting that a large number of workingmen were present, made the 19 declaration, "Tomorrow is Labor Day and the laboring man has a chance to strike." . He will speak at Leavenworth, Atchison, Hiawatha, ' Seneca and Marysvllle before Lincoln Is reached. . KERX IX OHIO. IJRYAX DOESX'T WANT THEM. It Is perfectly clear that If the sound inoney Democrats who revolted against the free silver movement have In dulged the hope that Mr. Bryan would smooth the way for their return to the party fold by recautlng his Intolerable financial heresies they are merely building n colossol disappointment for themselves. There Is not a shred of evidence to show that Mr. Bryan's feeling toward them has changed In the slightest degree since be said: "They tell us that certain prominent financiers are going to leave the Demo cratic party because it declares for the restoration of silver. Wo shall not go into court to seek an order to prevent their going. The Democratic party has been weighed down by those who want to use the party organization for pri vate gain and their country for public plunder." Mr. Bryan has never had the slight est uso for Democrats who refused to Hubscribo to his principles. He has repeatedly warned them that they were not wanted, that they should take their baggagu along when they Democratic Candidate Speaks There Today. (By Associated Press.) TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 2.

Mr. Bryan's Idea of tho taxing power as shown by his views on the money -question Is not a whit moro ridiculous than his crude doctrines as to public ownership and tho treatment of Inter state corporations. His policy would .transform tho government Into a gaui 1KU.T nnd the monopolist with unre istricted power to crush competition, nrinsve values and Jugglo with tho property of the pooplo as personal am bition or .parry expediency might dictate.
