MR. BRYAN'S LETTER
Of Acceptance of the Democratic;
Nomination.
{ ' t
IS CALM AND DISPASSIONATE.
I ne Democratic Leader Presents the
Atitudc of the Democrat ic Party
Upon the Questions at Issue In the
Campaign.
Lincoln, Neb., Special.?The letter
of acceptance of William J. Bryan of
the Democratic nomination for Presi{
dent was given to the press
The letter is in part as follows:
"Hen. .lames 1). Richardson, Chairman, i
and Others o."'he Notification Com- I
mittee of the Democratic National
Convention:
"(lentlemen:?In accepting the nomination
tendered by you on behalf of
the Democratic party, I beg to assure
you of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred upon me hy the delegates
in convention assembled .and by
the voters who gave instruction to the
delegates.
'1 am sensible of the responsibilities
I -.1- *- * ...
.limn rest upon tuo enter magistrate
of so great a nation, and,realize the
far-reaching effect of the questions involved
in the present contest.
"In mv letter of acceptance of 1896.
I made the following pledge:
" 'So deeply am 1 Impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested by the j
constitution in the chief executive of
the nation and with the enormous in - j
lluenco which he can wield for the benefit
or injury of the people, that T
wish to enter the office, if eld-ted. free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy of the confidence
of my countrymen. Human
judgment is fallible enough when unbiased
by selfish considerations, and,
in order that 1 may not he tempted to
use the patronage of the office to advance
any personal ambition. 1 hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
"?ni? i .hi expri a -, mv nxcu tiotermin itlon
not, under any circumstances, to
be a candidate f r re-election, in case
this campaign remits in my election.'
"Further reflect inn and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
"The platform adopted at Kansas
City commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. It courageously meets
the issues now before tho country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
i onsideration. Adopted by a convention
which assembled on the annivertary
of the signing of the Declaration
if Independence, it breathes the spirit
of candor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes thr.ee who, at Philadelphia
in 177t>, promulgated the creed
of the republic.
"The platform very proprrly gives
prominence to the trust question. The
appalling growth of combinations in
restraint of trade dnrtnir ttie r>r???nf
X administration, proves conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
./ the desire or tlie ability to ileal with
, the question effectively. If as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Republic an leaders, that
party dees not intend to take the p^ople's
side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condemnation
of trusts to he found in the Republican
platform is designed to disiract.
attention while industrial despotism
is completing its work. A private
monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defense can lie made of an industrial
system in which one, or a few
men. can control for their own profit,
the output or price of any article of
merchandise.
"Our platform, after suggesting certain
specific remedies, pledge the party
to an mice sing warfare against private
monopoly in nation. State and
city. I heartily approve of this promise:
if elected, it shall he my earnest
and constant endeavor to fulfill the
promise in letter and spirit. I shall select
an Attorney General who will.
without fear or favor, enforce existing
laws: I shall recommend such additional
legislation as may be necessary
to dissolve every private monopoly
which does business outside of the
State of its origin; and. if contrary to
\ my belief and hnpe, a constitutional
amendment is found to be necessary. I
shall recommend such an amendment
as will, without impairing any of the
existing rights of the States, empower
Congress to protect the people of all
the States from injury at the hands of
individuals or corporations engaged in
inter-State commerce.
THE FINANCIAL, PLANK.
"The platform reiterates the demand
contained in the Chicago platform for
an American financial system made
by the American people for theincelvcs.
The purpose of such a system
is to re?tore and maintain a bl-metallic
level of prices, and in order that there
may be no uncertainty as to the method
of restoring bi-mctalMsm, the speci)
f c der'aratio;- in favor of free and unlimited
coinage at the existing ratio
of lfi to 1. independent of the action
of other nations, is repeated.
"It is hardly conceivable that the
American r.e pie will deliberately turn
from the debt p tying policy of the past
to the dang 10113 doctrine <->? perpetual
bonds.
' LABOR OI'FSTIONS.
"Several planks of the labor platform
are devo'ed to questions in whMi
ftbe laboring classes have an Immediate
Interest, but whlrh more remotely affect
(ur entire population. While what
Is generally known as government bv
Injunction is at present directed <-hlef]y
against the employes of eorporaNklrmLh
Between British and Boers.
Ijcndon. By Cable.?Lord Roberts reports
from Machadodorp, under date of
Monday. September 17. that, a fe\r
rnicor skirmishes have taken place between
the British troops and the Boers.

SUPPLEME NT 1
' tlons, when there Is a disagreemen t between
them and their employer, i t Involves
a principle which concern 8 every
one. The purpose of tho Injun ctiou
in such cases la to substitute trli il by
judge for trial by jury, and Is a c overt
blow at the jury system. The abo lltion
of government by injunction is a s necessary
for the protection of the reputation
of the court, as it is for tl ?e security
of the citizen.
ARBITRATION.
"The platform renews the de mand
for arbitration between corporations
and their employes. No one why) has
observed the frlctlnn which arlsr < ho_
tween great corporations and 'their
numerous employes can doubt the
wisdom of establishing an imp artial
court for the just and equitabl'e settlement
of disputes. The demand for
arbitration ought to be supported as
heartily by the public, which s'.uffers
inconvenience because of striken and
lockouts, and by the employers themselves,
as by the employes. The establishment
of arbitration will insure
friendly relations between labor and
capital, and render obsolete the growing
practice of railing in the arjmy to
settle labor troubles.
DEPARTMENT OF IJVBOlk.
'"I cannot too strongly emphasize the
importance of the platform recommendation
of the establishment of a
department of labor, with a menvber of
the cabinet at its head.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
"The position taken by the Republican
leaders, and more recently s?t
forth by the Republican candidate for
the presidency, viz.: That we {cannot
protect a nation from outside interference
without exercising sovereignty
over its people, is an assault uipon the
Monroe doctrine, for while tlii,s argument
is at this time directed against
the proposition to give to the Fjilipinos
both independence and protection, it
j is equally applicable to the republics
of Central and South America.! If this
government cannot lend its striMicth to
another republic without making subjects
of Its people, then w(e nuust
either withdraw our protection from
the republics 10 the south of tils or absorb
them. Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an authority
equal to its responsibility, European
nations have for centuries exploited
their wards, and it is .11 signi cant
fact that the Repulican party
should accept the European idea of a
protectorate, at the same time that It
adopts a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandonment
of the American idea. M'e have
maintained the Monroe doctrine fir
three-quarters of a century. The expense
to us lias hern practically nothing.
hut the protection lias horn beyond
value to our sister republics. If a
Fllipijio republic is erected upon the
ruins i f Spanish tyranny, its protection
by us will he neither difficult nor
expensive.
EXTRAVAGANCE.
" i no ttcpuniie.an party, drawing as
it (h:ps ptiormous campaign funds from
tho?C who enjoy special privileges at
tho hands of thr govprnment. Is powerless
to protect tho tax payeiTS from the
attack of those who profit by largo appropriations.
\ surplus in tho Treasury
offers constant temptation to extravagance.
and extravagance In turn,
contp. Is a resort to new means c f taxation,
which, in hcing kept in the background
until the campaign is over, is
a fair illustration of the imposition
which will he attempted whsn there is
a considerable amount of money idle
in the Treasury. The rehabilitation . f
the merchant marine. Iaudt ble in itself,
is made tlie pretext for expenditure
of public money for ?he benefit
rf large ship owners, and in the interest^
of a transportation monopoly.
INCOME TAX.
"Ity inadvertence the ir.come tax
plank agreed upon by the resolutions
committee, was omitted from the plat
rorni as roan ana aaopica. 1110 sunjo
t, however, is covered by the reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform,
and I take this occasion to roissort
my holiof in tho princ iple which underlies
the income tax. Congress should
have authority to levy and collect an J
income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment to the Federal constitution
specifically conferring such an- j
thority ought to he supponed by even
those who may think the tix unnecessary
at this time. In the hour of
danger the government car draft the
eitiz,::: it ought to he able lo draft
; the pocket-book as well. Unless money
j is more precious than blood, we can|
not afford to give greater frotection to
the. incomes of the rich tnan to the
lives of the poor.
IMPERIALISM
"The subjects, however, treated in
i this letter, important as each* mav
j seem in Itself, do not pros; so impera'
tively for solution as the qu-stion
I which the platform declares to bo the
! paramount issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall adhere to or abandon
those ideas of govert ment which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations and given t> its history
its peculiar charm and value is a quesi
lion tho settlement of vhich cannot
he delayed. No other question can ap'
proaelt it in importance no other
question demands such immediate consideration.
It is easier to lnse a reputation
than to establish one. and this
nation would find it. a iong and laborious
task to regain its proud position
rmonp the nati ns. if. unier the stress
of temptation, it should repudiate the
self-evident truths proelilmed by our
herole ancestors and sacndly treasured
during a career unpnra'leled In th'1
annals of time. When the doctrine
1 that the pponlo are the rnly source of
power 'i made secure fr m further a;tack
we can safely proceed to the pet1
Moment of the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and economic
welfare of our cltbena.

PO THE FORT MILL TIMES, FORT
SOME PLAIN QUESriONS.
ADDRESSED TO VOTERS WHO THINK
MONEY IS THE ISSUE.
Wli?n There li n Dchaneil Citizenship In
I'orln Itlco snd Manila Then the Issue
Is Not the Dollar Itut American
Citizenship?Attempt to Soaro Voters,
Your squinny Republican politician
tlocs not like tlie look of things, lie
worries about the solid thinking (Jermans
who have abandoned McKinley
nfter supporting hint in 189G. lie worries
about the native American who
does not like to see liis form of government
changed by llatma. He worries
about the liberty-loving Irishman
who hates the llay-Pauncefote British
alliance.
Your squinny Republican politician
thinks to himself: "We won with
money for an issue in *90. We managed
to scare the nation with a silver
bugaboo. Perhaps we could do
it again. Bet's keep money the issue."
j'liat llepuhlican will toll you that
money is the issue this year as it was
four years ago ami try to make you
ltellevo it.
I.ook that llepuhlican in his tishy
eye. ami say to him:
"You think that money is the issue,
do you? Then you think that the
kind of dollar you set is more important
than the form of government
you live under. Is that so? You
think money is the issue? Then you
feel that a gold standard of currency
is more important than a republican
standard of government. Is that so?
"You think money is the issue? Then
you feel that we can live all right
under a double standard of government.
but not under a double standard
of metals? Is that so? We can have
semi-republicanism at home, absolute
imperialism abroad ami not suffer. We
can stand bi-governnient. Hut we cannot
stand bimetallism.
"You think money the issue, and you
dread a debased currency, you fear
an eighty-cent dollar.
"Hut how about a debased citizenI
I I l\V lllllllt 41 ft Ol.rbt ? i\ ......
, * I"'1 i
cent. citizen in I*i?rto Itieo. and a fifty
per cent. citizen in Manila?
"Is a debased dollar or a debased
citizen worse? Is the dollar or the
citizen the important issue in a republic?"
You talk like that to your Itepubli
can friend who says money is the
issue, and you will soon cause him
to change his tune.
Money may be the issue in America
when there exists no issue dangerous
to American ideas and to republican
government. Hut when Ilanua and his
trusts seek to change this Government.
when peaceful 1'orto It leans are
treated as captives and slaves, when
American citizens tire used as tools
of imperialism, so many lives to be
traded for a market for so many tins
of beef?
Then American citizenship is the is
sue. American republican government
is the issue.
And the American by bis belief and
liis vote proves that his fathers did
not found this Government solely that
I some shark might feel easy about his
; mortgage payable in gold.
There are things more important to
this nation than a gold dollar or any
other kind of a dollar, and I fauna will
learn that with surprise next November.
HOSTILE TO ORCANIZED LABOR.
Keiiiibliran l'wrty CIiuiikfh It* I'olloy t<>
<??>t Kami* From tlm Trunin.
It is rumored that, as a result of
thi> <*ool reception given Theodore
| ltoosevell in Chicago. on Labor Day.
tiic attitude of the Uepuhlican party
i toward union labor will undergo a rad|
ieal change. The policy of the Hepuldican
managers up to this time
j has been to appear friendly to union
j labor and make a show of promoting
its interests. Now, however, since
it has become evident that the labor
vote of the large cities is lost to MeKmley
and ltoosevell. the Republican
j i nana gets will take advantage of this
! fact to make open war on organized
labor, and in this manner strengthen
its prestige with the ldg corporations
from whom liberal campaign contributions
are expected.
The Republican managers were I
nover very enthusiastic over the enuse |
of organized lahor. Many of the hi
< orporations which have been staunch
supporters of the party have been engaged
from time to time in waging
war upon labor unions, to which they
have always been hostile. It is believed
that, when it is known that a
policy of open hostility to organized
labor has been adopted by the Kopublican
party the corporations, which
have so far hold tight their purse
strings, will warm up to the National
Committee and pour Into Mr. llanna's
I campaign barrel enough money to
make the committee feel at ease. To
l?o compelled to run a campaign on
a limited amount of money is a new
experience to the Republican managers.
and is decidedly embarrassing
to them.

MILL, S. C., WEDNESDAY. SEP!
BRYAN AND THE SUPREME COURT.
If Elected, He Would Select lha Ablest
Available American Jurist.a
The Republican newspapers are
much exercised over the fact that Mr.
Bryan, if elected, might be called upon
to appoint seven members of the Supreme
Court.
it is well for the Republican papers
to call the attention of the people to
these Supreme Court nominations. The
jx-.-im- ?_>i .viiii-in;i inusi iiiaKe up inor
minds wlimlior they prefer William
Jennings Bryan or Mr. Hnnna to
name seven Supremo Court Just loos
to Interpret the United States Constitution.
We believe that every intelligent
American, whether he be the poorest
laborer or the most prosperous merchant
or manufacturer, would prefer
that t lie Supreme Court Justices
should be named by Mr. Bryan rather
than by Mr. llannn. We don't believe
that many voters, even in the
Republican party, doubt that Mr.
Hamta would be extremely influential,
if not omnipotent, in tin* selection of
tbe men who may succeed Justices
Cray. Fuller, Shiras. llarlan. Brewer.
Blown and White. Everybody knows
the sort of men that Mr. llanna would
select if the choice were left to hiui.
and everybody knows also what sort
of men Mr. Bryan would select.
There is no need to discuss the sort
of men that Mr. llanna would select
for the Supreme Court. Even if lie
noted conscientiously it would be the
worst possible thing for the country,
since bis view of the nation's welfare
is based on the belief that courts
and laws should tend to make the rich
free from taxes and the trusts mightier.
Mr. r.ryan would name for the Supreme
Court and every fair-minded
man knows it perfectly well-the ablest
interpreters of Constitutional law
whom he could tliul. lie would he
guided solely by the desire to put upon
the Supreme bench men worthy of the
highest judicial ofliee in the world. lie
would select the ablest available
American jurists. lie would certainly
not select men who had spent their
lives as paid legal clerks of trusts or
corporations, lie would select honorable
American statesmen accustomed
to look upon the Constitution as the
nation's great defender, and not accustomed
to look upon it as an obstacle
to he overcome in the service of
bribe giving trusts and monopolies.
If you want IJryan to nominate the
.lustier* of the Supreme Court, vote
for ltryaii.
If you want Ilanna to nominate the
Justices of the Supreme Court, vote
for McKinley.
Moro Scl f-Cniit rn<llct ton.
"Praetieal elvil servlee reform has
always had the support and encouragement
of the Republican party.
The future of the merit system is safe
in its hands."
So says Mr. McKinley. and it is
a very siekeniug deliverance to come
from tlie head of an Administration
which has removed no less than ten
thousand places from the merit category
and turned them over to the
spoils-monger as stock in trade
It is disheartening. but not in the
least surprising, coming as it does
from William McKinley.
It is not surprising. because we do
not format that Mr. MaKinlay is tha
man who did his best to dodge tha
monay issua in 1S!)P? ntftl now boldly
supports tha gold standard.
Wa do not forgot that ha is the man
who daalarad that "forcible aiiucxa
tion" would ha "criminal aggression."
yat in a faw months was most aativaly
engaged in tha work of fircible annexat
ion.
Wa do . t forgot that ha is tha man
who said it was our plain duty to give
tha I'orto Kienns absolutaly froa trado
with the Unitad States, and who in
lass than two mouths was bringing
prassnra to boar on Congress in favor
of duties on both Porto Kiean imports
from tha United Slates and Porto Ui
ran exports to tha United States.
No self-contradiction or sclf-stultili
ration by Mr. MrKinlev can be glaring
enough to surprise us after the experience
wa have bad of bint.?Chicago
( hronicle.
At I Acrrf.l.
Every American believes in tha ex
tension of our trade by methods which
respect the liberty of self-government
of those with whom he desires to as
tahlish commercial relations. Enterprise.
ingenuity and industry are the
foumhitions upon which commercial
expansion must be built, and within
these limits the United States is a
nation of expansionists. When it is
proposed to go beyond these limits,
however, to establish a system of colonial
dependencies and to maintain authority
over them with tha bayonet,
the American people are confronted
with an entirely different proposition.
It. is no longer a question of simple
trade expansion, but of imperialism,
the negation of every principle for
which tlx- American Constitution and
the American system of free government
have stood for over a century.
Deflnit* Prnjtritntirie.
It will no longer do for the suvport
ers of the policy of the administration
to charge that the opposition has no
programme for the treatment of the
Filipinos. Its programme is detlnite,
and is now known to all. The time
has come for a more detlnite statement
of Republican policy and Its defence
on its merits. After this sj>eeeh
and the evident Democratic purpose
to press the right on these lines there
can be no evasion of the issue.?Chi

The experience of tl lijeonntr.v proves p
that :t eiti/.en sold lie I , Is invincible II
against foreign aggres^on or domestic
insurrection, while all. history shows l
that a mercenary soh'iery has never f
1 l?een so I'ortnidahlc to any country as
the one which supports it. 1
A standing army in the long run I
has always become helpless against
foreign foes, but it has always remained
of deadly ellHency against domestic
liberties.
The soldier in w- may bo a hero,
the soldier in pea< is either useless
or dangerous. Till; camp may be a
sehool of virtue i > 1 patriotism, the
hnrrneks are nlwa.t asylums of lasduess
and often hollxls of vioo. The
moral law is hindpnX on nations as
well as on iudlviriinfs. A violation
of it by either is tivtays followed by

her own liberties t bin pled in the dust
under the feet oil n mercenary soldiery.
Aside from Its i herent hostility to
free institutions, i standing army is
a emshiug burden on the neek of the
laborer, because it operates to redlteo '
liis earning eapneiti. while at Hie same I
iim?* lie is forced to bear the whole |.
expense of Its maintenance.
livery dollar of surplus product or
capital invested in implements, in ma- '
! < hinery. in buildings. Is a fruitful dollar.
Commodities used lur product ion
multiply themselves even while they
perish. j j
IIvery dollar expended for munitions
of war is a sterile dollar.
It is not used for the purpose of
product ion, hut for the purpose of tie |<
st met ion. It is wasted as completely j
as if it were thrown into the sea. |
A standing army imposes upon each I
laborer the burden of supporttug two '
men himself and a soldier while at
the same time it diminishes his earn- '
ing capacity by dissipating the capital
on which his productive efficiency depends.
1 tut far worse than the spoliation of ]
the laborer is the degradation which j
iie sutlers from a standing army.
Militarism has alwavs desnised in
dustry. j
Tin' workl power which I lie imperial- 1
isi invites us to become would he a .
(tower hosed on conquest nnd violence, j
ii survival of harharisin, a worh' power
consistent with the darkness and
ignorance of the tenth century. The
world power which we are is a light i
of eivilization >iud progress, gilding '
with splendor the dawn of the tweii- 1
tieth century. What patriot would
prefer for his country an eminence of ;
force, of vlolenei of barbarism, to an I
eminence of pence, of progress nnd of
eivili/.ation? '
I oppose tliis novel. iin-Amerienii pol- j
icy of imperialism, Iwcause the grounds I j
on whleli its advocates support it are
puerile, inconsistent and dishonest; liecause
it involves the existence of a
standing army to menace liberty and 1
to oppress labor l?y diminishing wages;
because it is cowardly to Invade the 1
riguts of the Weak while respecting '
those of the strong: because it would \
