revise did not mean reduce, and when time and again I demanded of the Re publican candidate that he tell the people what he meant by revise whether he intended to reduce the tariff, the nearest he ever came to stating was that it would mean the reformation of the schedules, and fin ally he said that it would probably be downward. But the people thought it would be certainly downward, and I b:ad Democrats to tell me they thought I was not fair to the Republi ,can candidate when I even suggested that the revision might be upward. But the people have found that the word. revise does not mean down ward; it may be up or down, or side ways,. or any way. But they will never use the word revise again in a plat form. It served its day; it is obso lete;-it can not fool any more.'' "Now, if this were an appropriate occasion," said Mr. Bryan,' "I would be glad to show you what tremendous progress has bee-i made, and wbile this progress has been so wirlasrread that it takes from the Democratic party any claim that it may have aad to a monopoly of good ideas, still it is so much more important that tile people should have reforms than it is that those refoims should come from anY party, that I think, even as Demo crats, we can rejoice that things that were partisan because advocated by our party alone have now become the accepted policies of the country. "Take the election of senators by the people. That began 19 years ago in a Democratic congress. The Demo crats led in the advocacy of it. They put it. in three national campdigns. It-was never endorsed in a Republican national platform, and in the last Re * publican national convention, it was not only not endorsed, but repudiated by a vote of seven to one. And yet when' it passed the kouse the other day only fWteen Repub(licans voted against it, gnd when it passed the sen ate it- had a majority of nearly three to one. The sentiment has grown un til every party is in favor of the elec tion of senators by direct vote of the people, and that which the Democrats urged and.had the Reputlicas oppos ing them rn is no'w accepted by Re publicanis, as well as Democrats, and the iresolution is in conference, and we are only waiting on the getting to -gether of these two houseg upon the phraeselogoy that' both will accept, and 'then I amn satisfied it w-i11 be en dorsed in both houses 'by an almost unanimous vote. Not that all those people there believe in i,t. They do not. We have men in the senate and some in 'the house who do not believe in letting the people have what they want. But they have not the courage to oppose the people w'hen the people express themselves with the emphasis that they have on this subject. "The income tax fight bega'n seven *teen years ago, and we had great op position, and I have lived to see a Re -publican president take a plank' out of the Democratic. platform-and, if you' will pardon gne for saying so,' I have lived to see the man who defeat ed me 'take a.plank that I wrote my self, out of any platform, and put it through a Republican senate without opposition, and I have seen that doc trine that I have been called an an archist for advocating, more than for any"other thing that I have advocated -I have seen it endorsed by thirty States of the Union; as many Demo cratic as Republican, I think. I have seen it endorsed by one branch~of the legislature of Massachusetts, of New York ankd of New Jersey, and endors ed by both branches way up'in Maine. Thie has now become an accepted doc trine in this country, and yet it arous ed bitter opposition only a few years ago. "Three years ago we had the parties divided on the subject of campaign contributions. Our party said that the publication should be before the elec ien. The 1%epublicans said not until afterwards. ?4r. Taft said not unti! afterwards. Mr. Roosevelt said not before, that would be very improper. And the bill that was afterwards pass ed embodied the Republican~ idea, and is now on the statute books, making publication after the election. But our party has insisted that it should be befom'e, and the second measuire in the Democratic program when the Democratic Congress convened in ex traordinary session was publication before the election. And I know of no such revolution in 'history as there has been on this subject, for when that bill came to a vote in the house, not one Republican dared to go on a record vote against the plan that the Democrats advocated three years ago, .and which the Republicans then op posed through their president in office and their candidate for president. "You can see why I have been en joying life, and yet I would not leave you uinder the impression that I con sider myself as entitledi to any consid erab:e amorat c' part of the commien dation that i un received from gen erou D~ro'~n.-,I'" i~ f mypar in the fight. My part has not been S( important as friends have imagined It is in politics as it is in the army the generals get the glor y while th< enlisted men die in the trenches. An I have been in position where I coul get the benefit of the praise, whil( those who "have labored as earnestl3 as I have and with greater sacrifice and who have often been required t( exhibit more moral courage-thes( have not been known; these have no had, their share of the praise, and ] have ben unloading and trying tc give them their share. One man car not do much in this country; it takes a great many." Mr. Bryan told of a visit by him las1 winter a year ago to a city in Soutl America, on the western slope of th( Andes. "It is about 7,000 feet abovE the sea," he said, "and the rain fal] amounts to but two inches a year. Th( air is so dry that Harvard'University has put an observatory there Pro= which to look at the stars. They hav a great camera for photographing thE stars, and one night they turned this camera upon a star, and when ,they examined the plate they found it wa. not a star, but it was four thousand stars. "And so, if you could take a photo graph of what they used'to call Bry anism, in derision, and now what the3 they call Bryanism, and do not mak( fun of so much, you will find that il does not represent what I did, or whai any one person did; it would repre sent -the work of about six millions and a half of people in this country. And all of us have reason to rejoice. Ther( is glory enough in the achiev#ments oJ our party today to divide, and enougl for all. For, while the Republicar ,pirty has been in office, the Demo cratic party has been in power foi the last fifteen years. While the3 have drawn the salaries, the Demo. crats have moulded opinion, and le the way. And I glory in a party tha has been willing to go down to de feat rather than surrender its princi ples, and I rejoice in the vindicatior that has brought to that party the gra. tification of seeing the righteous caus es for which it stands force themselve; upon a reluctant majority and mak themi accept 'them as the will of thf people. - I"I have spoken thus on these politi cal questions because I appreciate very much the loyalty that thes' E.uthern States have shown-loyal0 to those ideals,' loyalty to these rc formte. And, while I appreciate the personal support they h1ave given- me, I si.preciate even more the support that they have given to the things in) which I have been interested, for these things are far more important than any individual can be.'' "The Prince,of Peace." Mr. Bryan then entered upon his theme, "The Prince of Peace," one of the most .scholarly, logica.l, forceful and eloquent presentations ever made of the greatest subject in the world. It would be impossible to give an ade quite synopsis of the magnificent ad dress. It-might be well in this connection to give the following paragraph from Mr. . Bryan's lecture, which brought forth spontaneous applause from his Newberry audience, and which is pe culiarly applicable to present-day con ditions: "All the world is in search of peace; every heart 'that ever beat has sought for peace, and many have been the methods employed to secure it. Somne have thought to pur'chase it with rich es and have labored to secure wealth, hoping to find peace 'when they were able 'to go where they pleased and buy what they liked. Of those who have endeavored to purchase peace with money, the large majority have failed to secure the money. But what has been the experience of those who have been eminently successful in finance? They all tell the same story, viz., that they spent the first half of their lives trying to get money from others and the,last half. trying to keep others from getting their money, and that they found peace in neither half. Some have even reached the point where they find difficulty in getting people to accept their money; and I know of no better indicatior. of the ethical awakening" in this country than the increasing tendency to scru tinize the methods of money-making. I am sanguine :enough to believe thai the time will yet come 'when respecta bility will no longer be sold to great criminals by helping them to spend their ill-gotten gains. A long step in advance will 'have been taken wher religious, educational and charitable institutions refuse to condone con scienceless methods in business and leave the possessor of illegitimate ac cumulations to learn how lonely life is wxhen one prefers money to morals.' MrTiryan's beautiful c'onclusior w'~as as follows: "Mx aith in the future-and I hart fait 'and my opt imism-for I anm at optmit-my faith and my optimisn rest upon the belief that Christ's teach. ~ngs are being more studied toda~ NOTICE TO TAX DELINQUE-NTS. Hon. Jno. L. Epps, county treasurer, has placed in my hands executions for the collection of delinquent taxes for the year 1910. The law imposes upon me the duty to levy and collect this tax at once. This is to notify all persons w.ho have not paid their taxes that they may save cost by coming to me and paying the same promptly. The number of executions this year is large, and I urge those who have not paid to at tend to it at once. M. M. Buford, Sheriff Newberry County. Sheriff's Office, May 25, 1911.
