Mr. Dry-, an declarea that' the opposition to' bounties Jg a doctrine "for which the Democratic party has stood from time immemorial. He refers to tbe exemp tion plank as,a "little plan'', aud to the pronouncement of bounties and subsidies as the "larger plank ', and says; * Planks Ito Not "Dovetail. . "What opiate doe? the little plsnk contain that it cannot make those who accept it oblivious of the larger plank? By what rule of construction can tho small plank be made binding und thc large one Ignored? The secret of the, strange power exerted by tbe little plank ls to be found in the fact thp.t it 'Jtrefully conceals the means by which It la to be carried out. Had the word 'subsidy' or 'bounty* been insert ed in the plank, it. could not have se cured the endorsement of the conven tion because the contradiction be tween this plank and the larger plank I would .have' been immediately appar ent. If the same care had been used is tbe drawing of this plank that was used In tho drawing of the plank on thc merchant marine: "Wo favor the lexetnptlon from toll of American ships engaged.In coastwise trade passing through the Canal hut without, impos ing additional burdens upon the peo ple and without bounties or subsidies ?rom the public treasury."

Bryan say? that platform o'cnk* dealing with Internationa* questions, must be accepted * with, the under-j standing "that we are jointly ' with ' other nations in International affairs that even if the puma* had not been contradicted by another plank ia the platform even if lt had not concealed a.subsidy policy repugnant to Demo cratic principles and history", that even if thc conditions bad not changed, a platform plank should be taken on in tc mat loi. al questions 'as the ex pression of a wish rather than as the expression of determination, for no i nation can afford to purchase a small advantage in the face of. a universal protest." "'If a nation," continued the Secre tary, "desires to array itself against ; the world, lt- should be sure that the thing which it ia to gain,, is worth what it costs. The President, knowing that every commercial nation except 1 our own. construes thc treaty as a pledge of equal treatment, would have been recreant to his trust and he fail ed to point out to the American peoplo that our diplomatic relations distrib uted by the cacrying out of the free tolls policy/* ' Considering the repeal wwure up- i on Its merits, Mr. Bryan said there | were just two questions to be decided: "First-Ia it desirable for the Dem ocratic party to abandon its historic position And become the advocate of subsidie/ and' bounties? And, second, if it ls fleslrable, what ls the Demo cratic party willing to sacrifice In In ternational prestige and world in fluence in order to secure the advan tage which these subsidies promise to a few people." .
