I 3 THE SAIT LAKE HERAIJ PKEpAY MAY 1 26 I 8D9 I able allies of Jvenublicanlsm then the object of this meeting Kill have been accomplished Mr Hawes gave buta few wods to Imperialism declaring that i and the acquisition of foreign territory are foreign to the policy of the Democratic party President Hawes was followed by the Hon Champ Clark of Missouri who presented the state and district banners in the name of the state com mite Mr Clark was greeted with a tremendous ovation Chicago Platform Unadulterated The Hon Champ Clark said in part Having rendered the platform of 1SDG an accomplished fact it is em Jientiy meet and proper that at this cal date Missouri exercising her Democratic primacy should proclaim in no uncertain tone the unyielding principles of Democracy Stae generally in a single sentence these principles may be condensed as follows Equal rights for all special privileges for none or InC a still briefer form more money and Jess taxes To be more specific In 1900 we will express the unyielding principles of Democracy in this wise 1 We wi not only reaffirm but readopt the Chicago platform of 1896 wotd for word syllable for syllable abating neither jot nor little of that second declaration of independence AntiTrust lan 2 We will put into our platform as strong an antitrust plank as the American language can make the American language mark you not the Knglish which will restore to every citizen of this republic the inalienable right to earn his bread by the sweat of his face which will guarantee to every laborer the enjoyment of all his wages and which will once more make possible that competition which was supposed to be the life of trade until the Republican party created a countless brood of trusts which are sucking the lifeblood of the great body of tlepeople In my judgment the best way for congress to smash the trusts Is to place upon the free list all things used or made or sold by the trusts Then let both congress and the state legislatures make it a penitentiary offense to form conduct or to be interested In a trust and these exigencies tc cies wf be lopped from the body poll 3 i We will declare emphatically and unequivocally In favor of the observation of the Monroe doctrine in all its vigor and against the criminal Idiocy of corrupting and destroying our institutions tutions by making American citizens out of ten million heathen Malays under the equator Waste of the Peoples Money 4 We will declare in unmistakeable language that we will put a sudden stop to the wicked and wanton waste of the peoples money which as evidenced by the recklessness of the Fifty fifth confiscation congress amounts to practical contstton 5 We will proclaim our everlasting hostility to government by the sword and government by Injunction both of which are being foisted upon the country for the benefit and at the behest of the trusts and jobbers of every degree In the impending campaign he that is not fa us is against us There can be no shuffling no double dealing no riding of two horses going in opposite directions no foraging between lines The American people deserve to be treated honestly fairly candidly and courageously They demand and are entitled to have a declaration of political I faith about which there Is no double meaning no paltering in a double sense no equivocation no good Lord good Devil claptrap declaration so plain that even the dullest may comprehend i and so thoroughly Democratic that all honest men can stand upon it They want no victories that are not triumphs of trumphs principle and they do not propose that the fruits of another victory shall turn to ashes vIctor shal upon their lips Above all they dont want I any more presidential pigs in pokes They will get what they want The platform that I have outlined will give I lovers of freedom and good government everywhere hearts of oak ran the Man I Upon that platform we will place a man who is a platform within himself whose name I am happy to state is execrated by every monopolist in Amer ica and loved by every patriot betwixt the two oceans and land him in the White House the foremost statesman of our age WlIiam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and of the United States at largeWhen When he sits in the chair of Wash ington and wears the mantle of Jef ferson there will be another Andrew Jackson come to Judgment In times of peace he is a civilian in times of war is a soldier at all times he is the ideal American citizen and patriot But we may be asked whether we want the Palmer and Buckner Democrats back Of course we do We will welcome them not as major generals and brigadiers but privates as not to teach us Democracy but to learn De mocracy of us and will give them the glorious opportunity of winning new laurels Yes we welcome those return Ing prtMfgals but they must not expect to monopolize the fatted calf Those who have borne the heat and burden of the daythe brunt of the battle ex I ect the choicest and largest cuts of the veal themselves Take In Prodigals The doors stand wide open to all who wish to helD us We will not inQuire too minutely into their antece dents There are two institutions which have no mourner bench the Democratic party and the Campb llite church We also welcome all Republi cans who are dissatisfied with Mark Hannas newfangled policy of imper iilism We hail with delight the patriotic movements of Dr Amil Pretorjous and other GermanAmerican editors knowing full well that the Republicans cannot carry a state west of the Alle ifhenles and north of Arkansas without the Gorman vote We also extend the right hand of fellowship to the vast army of traveling men who have discovered that trusts are their especial enemies and who are now preaching on antitrust anttrst crusade More power to their tongues Trusts and Democracy Trusts and Democracy occupied Colonel Wetmore of St Louis but a for minutes His remarks were greeted with cheers I He was followed by the Hon David I Dearmond of Missouri who spoke upon The Trust and Its Parents Up Ie parents of the trust parnt according to the speaker are the protective tariff favored liy the Republicans and the partiality pri ality which he claimed that party ha ever shown to I corporate interests When Mr Hawes arose to introduce i Jilr Bryan he was greeted with applause and the applause which met me Mr Bryan was of the most flattering description The cheers drowned the music of the band which struck up Hold the Fort a he advanced to i the front of the rostrum lr Bran spoke as follows Bryan Speaks of Trusts tI I An actor who visiled Nebraska recently upon learning from 1 Rcpublicanthat confidence had been restored remarked that he had examined Websters Diction arv tt nnd what I confidence slltt and found confidence defined as trust and then he understood that confidence had been 1 really restored More trusts hnva 1en formed during Use lost two than existed at the beginning of the present administration and the nominal capItalizatIon the trusts now in existence approaches it does not equal In amount the Worlds total supply of gold and silver The In flncnce of these

comoel him to become a purchaser and wher there is 1 but one seUer the purchaser is completely at the mercy of the seller Where there afs competition between I producers the purchaser Is sure toj obtain what he want at I reasonable price When competition is eliminated i the price is controlled not by reason but monopoly by the greed of the one who possesses the I It has been said that tI DOWel to taxIs I a power to destroy A monopoly possesses the power to tax It can levy such i assessments as it will upon the purchaser I AsIs and wo can no VI afford to permit such a power to be exercised by private individuals than we could afford to authorize a private individual to use the machinery of taxation in order to enrich himself at the expense of his fellows I Guilty of Gross Neglect I The government would be guilty of gross neglect if Itpermitted an individual to secure a monopoly even without legislative assistance but I is still more culpable If by legislative act it furnishes the means by which a monopoly is secured The corporation Is the means now employed by those who seek to secure a monopoly Since the corporation is a fictitious person created by law the power that create can regulate restrain or an lhiate To say that the government is impotent to prevent the organization of trusts is to say that I has called Into existence a fictitious person and that the fictitious person has become greater than the creator One of the difficulties which has been encountered In opposing trusts is that the trust hides behind the federal eonstitu lien when attacked by state legislation and shields itself behind its state charter when attacked In the fedtnil courts No remedy will be complete that is not coextensive with the federal government II the extinguishment of the trusts is left to state legislation the public at lame wi1 be victimized as long as a single state will furnish a robbers root where the bs dvided sjOil collected in other states can People Are Startled Just now people are startled by the principle of monopoly as it manifests itself self in the indutsrial trust and well may thev be startled The principle however is i the same as that which manifests itself In the effort of the national bankers to secure I monopoly of the issue of paper morc The greenback is I rival of the banknote and its presence is a constant menace to the banks of issue Some who recognize the evils that flow from a soao trust seem to be Indifferent to the dangers that attend the formation of a paper money trust The principle of the monopoly not only lies at the ioundation of the attempt to dtsiroy the greenbacks but it is the controlling principle that underlies tho crusade Igalnst silver as a standard of money Between 1SX and ISOO when the production of gold was increasing and tho production of silver was small three nations demonetized gold and gave to silver a monopoly of mint privileges Early In the Os the financiers became alarmed at the increased production of silver and conspired to destroy silver as a standard money and Rive a monopoly to gold the production of which at that time was pta tlonarv The standard money trust is not only the parent trust but is In the hands of foreigners Republican Party Impotent The Republican party is impotent to destroy the trusts It is controlled by those who aro interested in trusts and its campaign funds and sinews of war are supplied by the trusts The policy for which It now stands disregards the Interests of the producers of wealth and gives money a consideration which is denied the Individual Abraham Lincoln In the very beginning of his presidential career warned the country against the threatened attempt to put capital above labor In the structure of the government Modern Republicanism Is fulfilling the prophecy made by Lincoln it is putting the dollar above the mcn Jhe Democratic party is opposed to the principle of monopoly wherever it manifests Itself I has declared war on the trusts Not a little trust only hut a Ms trust as well Not against one kind of trust but against all trusts Touched On Silver Mr Bryan although he devoted the tgetoet ps greater rOfa his address to the trusts touched briefly upon the silver cuestion declaring that was an issue that must be met The Republicans being pledged to the gold standard he said were on posed to silver because I meant the giving up of the standard which they had adopted Ho then returned to the attack on the trusts which he accused of lack of good faith toward the people A rich man he declared who pays his taxes Is as much of a patriot as any man who swims a river or who climbed up San Juan hill Following Mr Bryan came Belmont of New York who in the opening sertence of his speech declared himself ain favor of the election of Bryan as the Democratic nominee In 1SOO He then returned to the foe of the evening the tristb and hunted them vigorously declaring them the offshoot of the policy pursued ly the Republican party during I the last wciitv years ExGovernor John Altgeld of Illinois ws the next speaker He dwelt at can I sderaHe InRth on the principles of the fniciis platform declaring that a

walk out of the church He will say I will have no stain tn my conscience of another heresy trial Thirdly I want to say that you ran trust the presbytery of New York Leave us free and we will take our stand for the right Then Elder James Yereance of the New York presbytery sprang I sensation of the first order Pale with indignation he declared that Dr Shaw had broken a solernn agreement of the New York presbytery that none of them should speak or try to Influence the vote on the question before the house Mr Moderator Mr Moderator called Dr Shaw who was now thoroughly aroused I wish to say that there was no such agreement It was simply understood that we should not speak as representing the presbytery I spoke only for myself I am glad to hear that explanation said Dr Yereance but there was a trace of irony in his tone Immediately after he struck Dr Shaw another blow Only a twelvemonth ago he declared with great intensity Dr Shaw told me in a conversation that he had read Dr McGifferts book and saw nothing in it to disapprove I recall no such statement whatever passicnately exclaimed Dr Shaw I I Another Turmoil Started Stop i gentlemen stop i enough enough came from all parts of the house Lets have no personalities said the acting moderator In all manliness to God and man Dr Glffert should retire said DrYe reance in conclusion Dr John Dinsmore of San Jose Cal spoke briefly for the majority report When he was through the house i clamored frantically for the question i I For fully five minutes there were min i gled shouts of Question Vote I Vote and shouts for Dr I Birch of the New York presbytery who was begging the moderator to let him I speak At last the house voted to hear Dr I I Radclf close the debate for the ma jority Dr Hobson generously explaining that it was his right and in his turn Dr Radcliff gave Dr Birch a I couple of minutes He explainEd his position which was that since he was one of Dr McGifferts judges he would speak on neither side He vindicated Dr Shaw by stating that there had I been no agreement about speaking he I i Dr Birch having simply given counsel to that effect Dr Radcliff hastily I summed up Again the house clamored for the question and some demanded the roll call but an emphatic no vote disposed of that motion moton Dr Radcliff moved the majority report I Dr McKibben moved to substitute I the report of the minority A parliamentary tangle followed with a lal dozen speakers and numerous motions But a motion to lay Dr McKibbens substitute on the table prevailed I Then came the vote on the majority resolution The ayes have i said Dr Graham Somebody called for division for the negative vote seemed to have large volume But when it came to standing up the negative vote which had given promise of being almost equal to the affirmative dwindled so sadly that the few standers were laughed at The majority shouted for joy Next the vote was made unanimous The eleventh annual assembly of the Presbyterian church had dealt with the hardest problem that confronted irk Pallows On Uormonism At the morning session by an overwhelming aye vote the assembly adopted the committees report in favor of the Compton avenue and Washington church of St Louis a the next I meeting place Bishop Fallows of Chicago delivered an address in the course of which he saidWe We of the Reformed Episcopal church will join with you In preventing the legalization of that hybrid combination of lust and lunacy brass and blasphemy depravity and disloyalty which is now Haunting itself in the face of our national congress as polygamous

Diplomats However Force the American Winner to Surrender His Rich Prize He Received Its Equivalent However In Samoan Products Chicago Inter Ocean These stories about Speaker Reed indulging In poker while crossing the I pond said an army officer remind me of a stiff same played by a paymaster in the navy with King Malietoa of Samoa several years ago I guess this was about the healthiest game ever indulged in by a foreigner Malie ton had heard of the great games played by Kalakaua king of Hawaii and the Samoan thought hed like to take a little brush on this line I suspect that Kalakaua had done just as many American poker fiends had told almost unreasonable yarns about his winnings and his boasted good luck made others think that the average American poker player was easy to go against Well Malietoas opportunity to test his belief came one day when an American manrofwar never mind which one sailed Into the harbor of Apia His stern determination to take the thirtysecond degree In the mysteries of the great American game was satisfied to the fullest extent and for years afterward he was going around trying to get some one to kick him off the island and declaring that he was an eighteen karat darn fool with a French roof Among the officers aboard the manofwar were a paymaster a lieutenant and an assistant engineer who had burned the midnight lamp studying poker at Annapolis and had prosecuted the study In season and out of season ever since they left that place In a word they were all three just about as smooth uoker players as you cold find In a months travel There was a trader among the white residents of Apia who was known to come to the front with a pretty stiff game and Malietoa soon arranged through him a game with the officers By invilation and appointment the king and his friends met the officers In the private parlors of a European and before the evening was half gone Malie toa began to feel his oats and requested that the limit a small one betaken off The old codger had won sev eray pretty fair jackpots and felt his Importance and ability to clean up the whole crowd Off the limit came and for several hours Malietoa had almost phenomenal luck winning Jackpot after jackpot The more he won the more reckless he became and when something was said about closing down ho entered a large and emphatic protest The Game Becomes Interesting The same proceeded and the healthiest jackpot of the night was on the table Several hands had been dealt around without anyone having expressed his ability to open the pot when the king with a look of surprise and a smile of pleasure and triumph combined announced that he would open it 20 worth Every player stayed The paymaster drew three cards the lieutenant the same number the assistant engineer took two and the trader one Malietoa showed his blood by standing pat and putting 510 more into the pot The paymaster saw this and raised him 523 while the others stayed Then the king raised again and the paymaster threw in 23 more It was becoming too Interesting for the other players and they dropped out After the kings last raise the paymaster hesitated a moment put his cigar to one side and shoved 30 to the middle of the mahogany The king put up the equivalent in Chilian silver dollars the currency of the Islands and drawing a small sack from his pocket emptied Its contents before him and excitedly placed In the pot the funds of the royal treasury of Samoa amounting to 79 In silver The paymasters face grew serious and he looked at his royal opponent in a hesitating puzzled sort of way Could this be a Samoan Ah Sin he had run against Had this kingly coppercolored son of a gun learned the art of poker playing from visiting traders years before and had he been playing possum all the evening Having six or seven months pay in his inside pocket the paymaster decided to chance some of It In finding out Paymaster Wins Manono Island After a few moments of indecision he drew S579 In gold and silver from bis pocket and added It to the pot which now covered the table Malietoa gave a gasp and called for a glass of Kava to steady his nerves This he gulped down and announced that he was out of funds requesting at the same time that the paymaster take his word for 500 But there was nary a take th i paymaster only smiling and looking fixedly at the pot Then the excited monarch offered to put up the island of Manono one of the finest In the Samoan group against the 500 To this the paymaster consented and a transfer deed of the property duly signed attested by the trader who was a notary public was put in the jx Then the king called the paymaster who slowly laid down four aces and a five spot With a look of horror and a Samoan wail of despair his majesty exposed to view three kings an eight spot and a deuce Then he fell off his chair In a faint the excitement having been too much for his nerves Kava in copious quantities brought him around emil ciently to enable his removal to his own castle The paymaster shoveled his money into a sack and placed it in the traders Iron safe but the deed of the island he carefully placed in his pocket Forced to Return the Deed Next morning the details of the big poker game were known to nearly every inhabitant of the place and the German and English consuls sent official communications to the America consul protesting in most emphatic terms against the action of the chmg in disposing of the island of Manono to an American or to anyone else and warning the consul that unless the paymaster returned the deed for the island to the king at once they would direct the attention of their respective governments to the case Here was a pretty state of affairs The officer had no doubt won the Island fairly and the kings action was binding but in the tension in which Samoan affairs were at that time the German and English governments gould only too willingly have taken advantage of the circumstances is an excuse for International complications ending ultimately in a disastrous ray to American interests The facts were fully explained to the paymaster and on the promise of Ma lietoa that he would give the officer a number of fine mats and other Samoan articles of value the deed was returned to the king and destroyed By mutual consent of the consuls and others Interested the affair was hushed up in every way and was thus allow e1 to die out Malietoa took an oath that he would never again play poker Longest Word The longest word In the English language Is Proantltransubstantiation ist a Jointed word of
