Bryan's Running Mate Severel;
Scores Opposition For Establishing
Monopoly In Placing Law-Making
Power In the Hands of the Speaker
of Congress — Discussed Tariff at
Length—Bryan Speaks On Trusts
and Flays Republicans For Not En-
forcing the Law.
Indianapolis, Aug. 25.—In the pres
ence of William J. Bryan, the acknowl-
edged head of the Democratic party
in this nation, the leaders aud man:
of the notables of that party, and a
large and enthusiastic audience, John
W. Kern, of Indianapolis. accep.
ed the nomination for the vice
presidency by the Democratic n~ar
ty. The address formally notifyinz
Mr. Kern of his selection as the run
ning mate of Mr. Bryan was made by
Theodore A. Bell, of California, wac
was temporary chairman of the Den:
ver convention, and who spoke for th
notification committee. Mr. Bell was
given the closest attention of his great
audience, his clear-cut, actor-like face
and vivid style of oratory creating a
distinct impression upon his hearers.
When Mr. Kern arose to acknowl
edge the high honor accorded him by
his party, he was given an ovation
only slightly less demonstrative than
that which later was given Mr. Bryan
when the latter arose to conclude the
day's program with his long-awaited
address on “Trusts.”
Mr. Kern's Address.
After felicitously acknowledging the
honor that had been conferred upon
him by the Denver convention and
expressing his pleasure and satisfac
tion in being associated with Mr. Bry
an on the ticket, Mr. Kern arraignad
the Republican party for what he al
leged was the establishment of a “par:
liamentary condition in the interest
of monopoly, under which the sole
power to determine whether a meas
ure should be allowed to become a
law or not was lodged in the speaker’
of the house of representatives, citing
a number of cases in support of hic
contention. The principal part of his
address was devoted to the tariff. a:
follows:
“The question of tariff taxation is
one of vital interest. I am in heart:
accord with our platform declarations
on that subject.
“The Republican candidate for vice
president in his recent speech of ac
ceptance lauded the Dingley bill. an!
declared that when enacted it was
well adapted to existing conditions.
but proceeded to add ‘that the deve!
opments of industrial prosperity in a
decade which, in volume and degro«
have surpassed our most roseate ex
pectations, have so altered condition:
that in certain details of schedules
they no longer in every particular mete
out justice to all.’ For these reason
he declared in favor of a readjust
ment, ‘based on the broad principles
of protection for all American inter
ests allke for labor and capital, for
producers and consumers.’ The hun
dreds of thousands of American work.
ingmen who are now vainly seeking
employement were doubtless delight.
ed when they read about that ‘indus
trial prosperity’ which so ‘surpassed
our most roseate expectations.” In
thousands of American homes fam’
lies will gather about dinner tables
which for many months have not heen
encumbered with a beefsteak, and in
dulge in ‘roseate expectations’ of their
own.
“If the wages of labor depend upon
a high tariff, why should any man fa
vor a reduction of that tariff? If, after
eleven years of surpassing prosperi.y.
brought about by the Dingley bili, bus.
fness languishes, and labor suffers,
why not excite some more ‘roseats ex-
pectations’ by raising the tariff rates.
to the end that there may be a much:
needed revival of business, and that
labor may again find employment?
“The voters of America are not like.
ly to be deceived as to the tariff ques-
tion by the stock arguments of the op-
position,
“The average voter understands
that the tariff is a tax to be paid by
the consumer of the article taxed. He
knows that taxes in excess of the
needs of government are unjust an!
oppressive, and that extravagance in
government administration indulged in
for the mere purpose of creating a
necessity for additional taxation is
profligacy.
“He is also coming to know that the
taxing power of the government in
such ways that a few beneficiaries
may cnrich themselves by levying
tribute upon the masses, is legalized
robbery.
“Every legitimate business interes:
in the country is demanding tariff re
form.
“The workingman understands that
a restricted market means fireless fur.
naces and enforced idleness. He
knows that American workmen, with
their competition with workmen any-
where have nothing to fear when
the products of their labor arc
set down side by side in the mar
kets of the world. The Americar
workingman has had bitter expe:
lences under the operation of the Ding
ley bill. Under the shélter of this ta -
iff wall trusts and combines have
sprung up on every hand, and with
extortionate prices confront the con
sumer on every occasion when he
seeks to buy the necessaries of life.
. “The farmer understands that while
he has to buy everything in a pro
tected market, where, on nearly every
purchase, he is romgpelled to pay trib
ute to the trusts and tariff beneficia
ries, he is compelled to sell his sur
plus products in a free-trade market.
where he comes in competition with
all the rest of the world.”
Advice.
“What's the best way to save mon-
ey?" asked the thrifty youth,

BRYAN ON TRUSTS
Says Republicans Show Indifference
to Real Reform.
Mr. Bryan's prepared address on
“Trusts” concluded the day's program.
The great andience literally rose to
him with a swelling tide of cheers that
was long in subsiding. It was a fine
personal triumph for the thrice-named
nominee of his party. Mr. Bryan said:
“Nowhere does the Republican par
ty show more indifference to real re
form than in its treatment of the trust
question.
“The Sherman anti-trust law was:
passed eighteen years ago. It has
criminal clause which provides a pen!
tentiary punishment for those wl
conspire together in restraint of trade
Ever since the enactment of the law
with the exception of four years, th
Republican party has controlled the
executive department of the govern
ment, and during two years of the fou:
it controlled the house of representa
tives.
“Most of the trusts have never been
disturbed, and those that have been
prosecuted have not had their bus!
ness seriously interrupted. The presi
dent has done something toward the
enforcement of the law, but not nearly
enough, and the Republican leader:
have thwarted him at every point.
“Now let me contrast the Democrat
fc platform with the Republican plat
form. Nowhere is the difference in
the temper of the parties more notice
able; nowhere is the difference in th¢
method of dealing with questions more
manifest. OQur platform says:
“‘A private monopoly is indefens
ible and intolerable. We, therefore
favor the vigorous enforcement of th«
criminal law against guilty magnate:
and officials and demand the enact
ment of such additional legislation a
may be necessary to make it impos:
ble for a private monopoly to exist §.
the United States.’
“Here is a plain, candid statement
of the party's position. There is nc
quibbling, no evasion, no ambiguity
A private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. It is bad—bad ir
principle and bad in practice. N-
apology can be offered for it, and nc
people should endure it. Our party -
position is entirely in harmony wit.
the position of Jefferson.
“I have in discussing the tariff ques
tion presented one of our remedies—
namely, the removal of the tariff fron
imports which compete with trus:
made goods. This we believe woul
greatly lessen the extortion practice
by the trusts and bring about the dis
solution of many monopolistic com
bines. But we are not satisfied mere
ly with the lessening of extortion o:
with the dissolution of some of th
trusts.
“The Democratic party does not con
tent itself with a definition of the wrong
or with a denunciation of it. It pr
ceeds to outline remedies. The firs
is a law preventing a duplication o
directors among competing corpora
tions. No one can object to this rem
edy unless he is in sympathy with th
trusts rather than with the peopl
who are victimized by the trusts.
“The second remedy as stated in
the platform is:
“*A license system which wil
without abridging the right of each
state to create corporations or its right
to regulate as it will foreign corpora
tions doing business within its limit:
make it necessary for a manufactur
ing or trading corporation engaged ir
interstate commerce to take out a
federal license before it shall be per
mitted to control as mueh as 25 pe:
cent. of the product in which it deals
the license to protect the public from
watered stock, and to prohibit the
control by such corporation of mor:
than 50 per cent. of the total amoun
of any product consumed in the United
States.’
“The Democratic party is the de
fender of competition and the only
great party which is seeking to restore
competition. The word ‘socialistic’ i:
hurled at the Democratic party and
the Democratic platform. Now, as a
matter of fact, it is not the Democratic
party which has given encouragement
to socialism. While professing to ab
hor socialism the Republican party
has gone half way toward socialism
in indorsing its fundamental princi
ple. The Socialist bases his conten:
tion on the theory that competition is
bad, and that an economic advance is
to be found in monopoly. The Social
ist, however, wants the public to hav:
the benefit of the monopoly ownershir
and operation of all the means of pro
duction and distribution. The Repub
lican party has gone almost as far a-
the Socialist party in the economic de
fense of the monopoly, but it permits
the benefits of monopoly to be enjoyed
by a comparatively few men who have
secured a dominant influence in the
government.”

there is nothing MORE CERTAIN, than the

We might say it is the same with window glass.
You can never tell when any one light may be

will be broken out of a thousand. There are
many broken in poor quality lots, and fewer in
