LAUDS UP JEFFERSON Am the Great Leader of the People and a Safe One.?Says Pre* l< tent* ' Taft'n Speech on Lincoln Sustain* Position of the Advocates of Frew Silver in the Nineties. The letter of William J. Bryan, written from Brazil and read Wednesday night before the Democrats who attended the Jefferson Day banquet at New York and those at a similar function in Indianapolis was as follows: "I thank you for the invitation to the Jefrerson Day Banquet. WhJle I shall not return to the United States in time to attend. I can join with you in spirit the more heartily because of what I have learned by visiting other countries. 1 have seen everywhere the influence exerted by his teachings. In the nation in which I am just now sojourning I And illustrations of his idea of conquest. He '? contendedthat we should conquer the world with our Ideals rathet than with arms, and in this sense, we are ejecting a conquest of Brazil. Her constitution is modelled after ours; she 'has copied froia us the federal system of government, which united local control of local affairs with national supremacy; her flag, like ours, has a star for each state, and her school system is being made to oonform more and more to ours. These victoriesj too, cement friendship, Instead of arousing enmity. Hail to Jefferson, the world's schoolmaster. r whose views continue their majestic march around the earth. "But in our country, as well as ' abroad; hlB principles are triumphing;. He taught that the art of government is the art of being honest and each new Investigation proves the folly of those who refuse to learn of him. "He was the foe of monopoly In every form and hiB name is the one which can with most propriety be invoked when the trusts are attacked and when a contest is being waged for the application of the prin ** cipl08 of poplar government. "I am so far away from home that I nm not fully informed as to the rodent events, but-have just read of one Jeffersonian victory, namely, the selection of an investigating committee by the house instead of by the speaker, and, better still, each party selected its members of the committee. This establish**) an important precedent, which, if followed, will make investigations real and effective. "I notice, also, that we seem likely to win a victory against the meat trust. Monopoly prices at last have provokpd a popular protest and now that the people are looking for a remedy there Is hope that they will accept the Democratic party. It is not unuatural that they should i?se the boycott, even \( they punish themselves while they are inflicting punishment on fcheir oppressors; but I am sure they will, in the end. find legislation more satisfactory than abetennnoe from meat and join th-1 Democrats in declaring a private monopoly?not the meat trust only, but every private monopoly?indefensible and intolerable. "But there is another item of news, which has Just come to my attention. President Taft, in his Lincoln speech at New York, February 12, attributed the present high prices mainly to the increase in the production of gold and the consequent enlargement of the volume of money. Thjls unexpected ind?vsement of our party's proposition in 1896, when we demanded more money as the only remedy for failing prices, is very gratifying. How valuable that admission would have been to us if had been made during the campaign of that year when the Republican leaders were denying that the volume of money had any influence on prices, and asserting that it' did not matter whettibr we had much or little, provided it was all good. ("We may now consider, the quantatlve theory of money established Seyond dispute and proceed to the consideration of other questions. Hut the president and his predecessor admitted the correctness of the Democratic position on so many questions that further argument is hardly necessary on any subject, we mav now lake judgement against the Republican party by confession. "Please present m,y compliments to the Democrats assembled In mein, oryt of the Sage of Monticello. I take, for granted that your gathering will iritf adjurn without the adoption of a rekotutlon urging the ratification by all the States of the income tax amendment to the federal constitution. "The time Is ripe for a return to Jefferson principles and I trust the rfpresen tat Ives of our party will ^nake a record which will secure us n . majority at the coming congressional elections. With that advantage gained, the Democrats will have an opportunity to outline a program, c ' - * MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE ? i MARTIN, OF COLORADO, TALKS ' OUT PLAINLY. Says that Frair Lands in the Phillippines Are Being Seized by the Su gar Trust Openly. Representative Martin. Democrat, of Colorado, who tor weeks has been waging a fight in the House In an effort to show that Frair lands in the Phillippine Islands are being seized by the sugar truBt with the acquiescence of Attorney General Wlckersham and the War Department, Friday night gave to the press an interview in which he revlewB his! efforts, assails the government ofli- i cials, alleged to be involved, charges j that information would prove his contention is being withheld by the War Department and demands a full congressional inquiry into the matter. iMt. Martin characterizes the action of the Republican majority of the House in defeating his resolution calling upon the War Department for Information in regard to the sale of the Frair lands as a "blanketing move." He points out a number of alleged discrepancies in the reports sent by the War Department to the House committee on insular affairs concerning the Frair land transaction, and accuses the government officials of duplicity and deceit. He charges the administration with having begun a "policy of exploitation in the Phillipnies" and declares that "if it has been falsely accused. let It take off the lid." Mr. Martin announced that he was preparing a new resolution of Inquiry into the Frair land deal, which ho , said he would Introduce in the House as soon as he had finished drafting it"If there was ever any doubt about the necessity for uu investigation of | Philllpine affairs," said Mr. Martiu, j "it is removed by the disclosures | _ made by the War Department in re- = sponse to my resolution of isqulry." "I could point out many other things." continued Mr. Martin, "but the proper time and place to point them out will be in a congressional i investigation. The administration must investigate this matter or stick its head in the sand like an ostrich to blind its eyes to the storm that is coming. 1 "I have charged the administration with having l?egun a policy of unlawful exploitation in tho Phillippines and every development goes to establish the truth of the charges. If the administration has been falsely accused let it take ofT the lid." * War Depratment officials declared 1 that the statement made by Mr. (Mar- c tin is not worthy of serious consld- ( eration as he had taken the facts in the case and "garbled them to make t it appear as If the government had t been a party to wrong dealings." It was said that the records furnished to the insular committee by v the department would prove that the department had acted in the matter t wit-h perfect propriety. * I LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED. t I Eleven Men Loose Their Lives by f the Explosion. When an antiquated locomotive 1 exploded in the yards of the Nation- * al Railways of Mexico at Monterey a Sntlirrtnv i>li>ven r?f tlia omnlrti-no r\t h the road were blown into eternity. a Two others were horribly injured but a it is expected that they will recover, r The fatal screwing down of the t safety valve on the engine after it n had been run out of the round house caused the explosion. Engineer r Monaghan, wh<^ was killed, noted that his steam gauge was not work- 11 ing properly, after he left the round P house and a mechanic, identity un- 1 known, climbed to the boiler deck to 1 examine the safety valve. e An instant later fragments of hu- a man hodbs and twisted bits of the ^ ponderous engine were hurled high in the air. The front end of the c boiler was blown more than a hun- 1 d'red feet down the track, leaving c d'*ath in its wake. FOl'K MKN ARE KILLED. s When Their lhtllonn Was Destroyed i hy Lightning.
