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."

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.

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

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

Mr. Bryan is willing, of course, that

but If they do It must be with tho dis
tinct understanding that It Is not he,
but they, who have changed their
