with no response. About twelve years
later. General Weaver, then a memb?r
cf conirress, tried to secure the passage
of a resolution submitting such an
amendment, but his efforts were futile.
In ISM, the resolution recommended
by President Johnson and urged by
Congressman Weaver finally passed
the house of representative, but It has
not yet reached a vote In the senate,
and now, after elght years more of
public discussion, the proposition for
the first time received the endorsement
of th? national convention of one of
the great parties. If the fusion forces

throw the influence of his ballot upon
the side of those who desire to protect
the public at large from monopolies
The fact that the trusts support the
republican party ought to be sufficient
procf that they expect protection from
it. The republican party cannot be re
lied upon to extinguish the trusts as
long as it draws its campaign contri
butions from their overflowing vaults.
"The prosperity argument which the
republicans bring forward to answer
all complaints against the administra
tion will not deceive the farmer. He
knows that two factors enter into his
lncomet rtrst.the sie of his crop, sec
ond, the price he receives for the same.
lie does not return thanks to the party
tn power for favorable weather and
a bountiful harvest, and he knows that
the republican party has no policy
which insures a permanent increase in
agricultural prices. Since he h?I!s his
surplus In a foreign market he Is not a
beneficiary of the tariff, and since he
produces merchandise and not money
he docs not profit by the appreciation
of the dollar. He knows that the much
vaunted prosperity, of which he has
never had his share. Is on the wane in
spite of the unusual stimulation which
it has received during the last three
years. He knows that each month of
l?fO shows a larger number of failures
than In the corresponding month of 10
and that there is already a marked
tendency toward a decreased output of
the factories. He also kno;rs that dis
coveries of gold, famines abroad and
war on thr?e continents have not been
ahle to raise the price of farm proiucts '
as rapidly a trusts and combinations
have raised th price of the things
wbfch the farmer buys.
"Our opponents have tried to make
it aFPpear that we are Inconsistent
when we desire a general rise In prices
and yet oppie an arbitrary rise in
protected manufactures of trust-made
good. There is no conflict whatever
between these two propositions. If a
general rise In prices occurs because of
a permanent increase In the volume of
money, all things adjust themselves to
the new level, and If the volume of
money then Increases in proportion to
the demand for money, the price level
remains the same rmd business can be
done with fairness to all. If. however,
the rise is arbitrary, and only affects a
part of the products of labor, those
whose products do not participate In
accomplishment, the people will And it
easier to secure any remedial legisla
tion they may desire. But how halit
Ing has been the progress.
"Holland has said:
" 'Heaven is not gained by a single
bound.
We build the ladder by which we rise.
From the lowly earth to the vaulted
skies.
And w? mount to Its summit round by

"And so It Is with great social and
political movements. Great probl-ms
are solved slowly, but strupgling hu
manity marches on. step by step, con
tent if. at each nightfall, it can pitch
its tent on a little ground.
"I hav cal?od attention to the issues
which brought the Democrats and Pop
ulists together and Justify their co-operation
during the last four years.
Let me now invite your attention to
new questions which would Justify co
operation at this time, although we
differed on all economic questions. It
is not our fault that these new ques
tions have been thrust Into the arena
of politics. It is not our fault that the
people have ben called upon to con
sider questions of ever-increasing magnitude.
In ISM the tariff question was the
principal subject of discussion, and the
Democratic party contended that the
masses were carrying a burden of un
just and unnecessary taxes. In
1S92 the tariff question was rtllt thej
principal Issue between the Democratic
and Republican parties, although In
the West and Jn the South the money
luestlon was assuming greater and
greater proportions, and the Populists
were contending that our monetary
system was more responsible than the
tariff laws for the depression In agri
culture and the distress among the
was- earners. In 1S96 the whole ques
tion of taxation became of secondary
Importance because of the Increased
boldness of those who' opposed the gold
and silver coinage of the constitution.
When the Republicans declared at St.
Louis that the restoration of btmela
Hsra In this country, although desir
able, wis Impossible without the aid of
th lesdfng commercial nations of the
old world, the Populists and silver Re
publicans Joined with the Democrats
In averting he right and duty of the
American people to shape their finan
cial system, regardless of the action of
oth'r nations. The failure of the Re
D'ibllcan party to secure International
espousal cf the
kept the money
'jues.ion in politics, but no economic
question can compare ifi importance
with a nuestlcn which concerns the
principle and structure of government.
Systems of taxation can be changed
with less difficulty than financial sys
tems, and financial systems can be
altered w-th less danger and less dis
turbance than the vital doctrines upon
which free government rests.
' In the early '60s, when we were en
gaged In a Tontest which was to deter
mine whether we should have one re
public or two. questions of finance were
lost sight of. Silver was at a premium
over gold, and both gold and silver

power of their Income Is decreased, gold standard still ke
If a bad monetary system drags down
the price of the farmer's product, while
monopolies raise the price of what he
buys, he burns the candle at both ends
and must expect to suffer in compari
son with those who belong to the
classes more favortd by legislation.
''It Is sometimes urged by partisan
Pipulists that four years more of Re
publican misrule would so aggravate
economic conditions as to make re
forms easier. Xo one can afford to
aid in making maters worse in the
hope of bein able to make them bet
ter afterwards, for In so doing he as
sumes responsibilities which he may
not be able to remedy. Xo Populist,
however sanguine, believes it possible
to elect a Populist president at this
time, but the Populist party may be
cble to determine whether a Democrat
or a Republican will be elected. Mr.
Chairman, the Populist convention
which ydur committee represents
thought It better to share with the
Democrats in the honor of securing
some of the. re toma desired by your
party, than to bear the odium of re
maining neutral in this great crisis, or !
of giving open or s?crt aid to the Re- j
publican party which opposes all
the reforms for which the Populists
contend.
'Those who labsr to Improve the
conditions which surround their fellow
men are opt to become Impatient, but
they niust remember that it takes time
to work out jrreat reforms. Let me
illustrate by calling your attention to
the slow growth of public opinion In
ui.port of a proposition to which there
hfls. been jractictllly-IM). public iiw
sition. President Johnson, in 1S63, rec
ommended a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
perlallsm, for both are antagonistic to
the principles which lVpullsts apply
to other question. Looking at ques
tions from the standpoint of a specu
lator, the Populist recognltv In 'nlll
tarism a constant and Increasing bur
den. The army worm which occasion
ally destroys a field of wheat I not
nearly so danrxvHi an enemy to the
farmer as a large standing army
which Invades ewry hVld of Industry
and exacts toll from every croj. If
K-O.OH men are withdrawn from the
ranks of the producers and placed as
a burden on the backs of those who
remain. It must be longer hours, hard
er work and sreAter sacrifices for those
wha toll, and the farmer, while he
pays more than his share of the ex
penses of the army, has no part In any
contracts or developing of companies,
and his sons are less likely to fill the
life positions in the army than the Sons
of those who, by reavin of wealth or
political promlnenc. exert Influence at
Washington,
"Soon after the Republican leader
began to suggest the propriety of a co
lonial policy, the papers published an
Interview given out from San Francis,
co by a foreign consul residing at Ma-
nlla. He declared th.it the people of
the Vnlted States owed It to them
selves, to other nations, and to the Fll
iplnos, to hold the Philippine Islands
permanently.' At the conclusion of this
Interview there appeared a very signif
icant statement that the gentleman
was visiting the I'nlted Srates for the
purpose of organising a company for
the purpose -f developing the Philip
pine islands. A few days later on his
way East, he save out another Inter
view In which he explains that the
can pany which he Intended to organlie
would establish banks at Manila and
at other places throujhout the Islands,
and build electric light plants, water
plants, street car lines, railroads. fc-
torl-s. etc. It seemed that the plan of
his syndicate was to do all the develop
ing and leave the rest of the American
people nothing to do In the matter ex
cept to furnish an army sufficient to
hold the Filipinos in subjection while
thjy were being developed.
"At the present rate we will spend
annually upon the armv approximate
ly as much as we sp-nd for education
In th? United States, and this immense
sum is wrung from the taxpayers by
system of taxation wMch overburden
lhe poor and undertax the rich.
"tn the presence of such an Issue as
militarism It Is Impossible that any
Populist should hesitate to do his
duty.
"But even the menace of militarism
Is but a part of the question
f Imperialism. The Doiicy contem
plated by the Republican party nulli
fies every principle set forth In the
Peels rati :n of Independence, strikes a
blow at popular government and robs
the nation of Its moral prestige. Al
ready the more advanced supporters
of the colonial Idea point to the econ
omy of a system of government which
entrusts all powers to-an executive and
does away with the necessity of legislation.
"The Army and Navy Journal. In Its
Issue of August 4. commends the Eng
lish system and declares that as a re
ult of this system a fifth of the
world's area, containing a fifth of Its
population, U ruled with an admini
strative economy which Is an ad
mlnl'tratlve marv:d and adds:
'' 'Ono million, two hundred thous
and dollars spent In London Is the
price of administration over a colon
ial rule whose total budg-ts aggregate
Jl.724.3o4.S9G, nr 50 per cent more than
our totai of federal, state, county and
village expenditures for every possible
purpose for which taxes are levied.
In contrast to the results of this system
of executive administration, the fact is
cited that the American congress has
spent an entire winter wrestling with
the tariff, the taxation, the administra
tion nnd the personal rights of two
little Islands. The English executive
Ib an Imperial executive. The British
parliament Is an English legislature.
To the same system we are coming
by decree of circumstances as Inevi
table as that of fate. If this be Im
perialism, make the most of it. So far
as citizenship Is concerned the British
empire Is one. but beyond the limits
of the United Kingdom, the citizen
lives under a rule essentially mon
archal and not restricted by the con
stitutional limitations of the parlia
mentary system.'
'Thus does Imperialism bear its sup
porters backward, turning toward the
dark ages. There Is no middle ground
between the American policy and the
European policy. If this nation re
mains true to Its principles. Its tradi
tions and Its history. It cannot hold
colonies. If it enters upon a colonial
Democratic and Imperial forma of gov
ernment. In proroguing parliament
few days, ago, she said: ', .
"'Believing that the continued poli
tical Independence of the republics
would be constant danger to lhe
peace of South Africa, I authorised
the annexation of the Orange Free
State.'
"A republic is always a menace to
n monarchy, just as truth Is always a
menace to error. Solf-gvvermntnt, be
ing the natural government, must nec
essarily cteate dissatisfaction among
the subjects of thm governments
which build upon tne other founda
tion than the content of the governed.
What the Orang Fre State and re
publics are to South Africa, our re
public Is to ths world, and only our
increasing strength and the wide At
lantic have protected ua from the
lnextlngulshabU hostility which must
ever exist between those who support
a throne and those who recognise the
cltlxen as the sovereign.
"Every step taken toward Imperialism
by this natl-rn means more prompt
and effective cncoura.ment from Eu
rope. Lincoln pointed to the Interest
which European nations nave In th
abandonment here of the doctrine of
equal rights. He said:
" The principles of Jefferson are
