REPLIES TO SHERMAN'S SPEECH
Kern's Speech is in Effect an An
swer to Sherman's—Sherman Said
"The People Do Kale" Mr.
Kern Oiree Many Instances Where
the Will of the People Has Been
Thwarted by a Republican Con
gress, Saying That Measures After
Measure Advocated by the People
of all Parties Has Failed to Pass.
Indiana JK)I is, Ind., Special.—John
Worth Kern, rutilling mate to Wil
liam J. Bryan 011 the Democratic
ticket, was officially informed that
lie is nominated to make the race
lor the vice presidency. Big crowds
were here and an immense notifica
tion committee proceeded from the
Democratic heapuarters to the fair
grounds, where the ceremonies took
place. Mr. Kern's speech of accep
tance is in substance as follows:
Mr. Kern's Speech.
Gentlemen of the Notification Com
mittee: For the kindlly and courte
ous wanner in which you have con
veyed to me the official notification
of my nomination as the Democratic
candidate for Vice President of the
I nited States, aud for the eloquent
words just spoken by your chairman
in your behalf, 1 thank you one and
all.
1 appreciate most highly this great
honor conferred upon me by the
unanimous vote of the representa
tives of my party in national con
vention assembled, and 1 shall strive
most earnetly to earn a continuation
of the confidence and good will man
ifested by that action. 1 did not
seek this nomination; indeed, if my
own personal desires had been con
suited, another would have received
the honor, but it having come to me
without solicitation, I prize it all the
more, and accept it ,with a full sense
of the burdens and responsibilities.
As a candidate I shall try to wear
the honor worthily, and faithfully
as I can discharge all the duties
properly devolving upon me as one
of your standard bearers, and if
elected, 1 promise to servo all the
people of the republic by the con
scientious discharge of the duties of
the office.
It is pleasing to me to be asso
ciated in tnia campaign with the dis
tinguished gentleman to whom the
standard of the purty has bee*i com
mitted. For years we have been
friends. I recognize in him a man
of spotless character and high ideals,
always actuated by patriotic motives
and an earnewt desire to promote the
welfare, the honor and the glory of
his country. He became your can
didate because his nomination win
demanded by the rank aud Hie oC
the pnrty, which demand was empha
sized by a |K>pular movement in his
favor, which as it proceeded, so
grew in volume and force as to be
come iiresistable.

that combine to levy millions of trib
ute each year upon the newspapers
of the country and their readers. The
press of the conntry, without regard
to party, united in demanding relief.
The people of the republic unani
mously seconded the demand. The
President of the nited States threw
the influence of his great office in
favor o fthe demand of the press and
the people. Bat nil without avail.
The dominant forces within the Re
publican party had established in
the lower house of Congress a parlia
mentary condition, in the interest of
monopoly, under which the sole powet
to determine whether a measure
should be allowed to become a law
or not lodged in the Speaker of that
body and his committee on rules, and
by the flat of that one man the will
of the press, the people and the Pres
ident was set at naught. Behold the
spectacle! On one side eighty mil
lions of free people demanding legis
lation to right an admitted wrong.
On the other side, a few men engaged
in public plunder, aided by the domi
nating power within the Republican
party, represented by the presiding
officer of the once popular branch of
Congress. And the plunderers and
these unfaithful public servants pre
vail over the people of this great re
public!ln this instance did the
people rule?
Shall the People Rule?
The r question "Shall the People
Rule!" is one which demands the
serious nnd earnest consideration oi
all men who are interested in the per
petuation of our institutions. It must
be apparent to all who have followed
the course of legislation during th
past few years that there is a powei
within the Republican party deter
mined that the people shall not rule
That power has manifested itseU
whenever effort has been made to
check the destructive work of un
lawful combination, reduce the op
pressive tariff tax, or enact any leg
islation looking towards the equali
sation or lightening of the burdens
resting unon the people.
That dominant power which now
guides and dii«ects the Republican
party, has on many occasions defied
'he President in cases where he has,
>ll the demand of the masses, made
sporadic efforts in their behalf.
The question of tariff taxation is
»ne of vital interest. I am in hearty
iccord with our platform declarations
>n that subject.
Tariff Reform.
Every legitimate business interest
in the country is demanding tarff
reform. The manufacturer who is
not a monopolist is demanding cheap
er raw material knd wider markets
for his products.
The workingmnn understands that
a restricted market means tireless
Cur races and enforced idleness. Ho
knows that American workmen, with
:heir superior intelligence and in
genuity, with their improved machin
ery, with cheap raw material and
earning for their employers more
than twice much as the laborers
»f any other country, have nothing
to fear from competition with work
aueu anywhere, when the products of
their labor are set down side by side
in the markets of the world. -The
American workingman has had bit
ter experience under the operation
>f the Dingley bill. Under the
ihelter of this tariff wall, trusts and
jombines have sprung up on eve/y
hand and with extortionate jjtjiees
eonffont the consumer on every oc
casion when be seeks to* buy the
accessaries of life.
Under (his system the cost of liv
ing so increased as to absorb the
earnings of the laborer, after the
most rigid economy and self-denial
»H his part and that of his family.
And it is a noteworthy fact when, nq
*n inevitable result of the fiscal
policy of the Republican party, the
panic of 1907 came, hundreds of
thousands of these American laborers
who were "thrown out of employment,
instead of being able to draw upon
the fabulous savings bank cacounls
to exploited in political literature in
recent campaigns, found themselves
md families in a state of destitu
tion
f Farmer P*y« Tribute.
The farmer understands that while
tie has to buy everything in a pro
tected market, where, on nearly ev
ery purchase he is compelled to pay
tribute to the trusts and tariff beivefi
eiaries, he is compelled to sell his
surplus products in a free-trade mar
ket where he comes in competition
with all the rest of the world.
The Democratic Remedy.
The Democratic party .while favor
ing the reform measures repudiated
by the Republican national conven
tion, in large degree cut off the
streams of money which under the
present system are flowing from ev
ery man in the land and emptying
into-'the coffers of the trusts.
It would leave in the pockets of
the producers and lnborers of this
land, every dollar of the money they
earn, save only such amounts as
may be needed for the economical
administration of the government.
It would, by rigorous law enforce
ment strike down private monopolies
which prey upon the |>eople, and to
protect the public against extortion
and imposition by the great public
corporations, whether by excessive
charges or by the over issue of stocks
and securities.
In other words it would undertake
to bring about in government, a real
isation of that good old Democratic
mixim of Thomas Jefferson, "Equal
and exact justice to all men; spec
iul privileges to none!"
It lias no war to wage on capital.
It has no quarrel with corporations
honestly capitalized to carry on , n
legitimate business, according to law.
It will encourage the investment of
capital in the development of the
country and protect it when invested.
Stand Against Lawlessness.
It will draw a sharp line between
lawful business lawfully conducted,
and unlawful business, or business
carried on in detinnce of law and the
rights of the public, protecting the
oin\ and "protecting society from the
Other.
Prospects of Success.
Gentlemen, we enter upon this
campaign with every prospect of suc
cess. Never had a political platform
been received with such favor by all
classes of people, and never has a
candidate been presented by any par
ty, who was closer to the hearts of
tli.- people than our matchless stand
ard bearer, William .1. Bryan.
We uiust and will win this battle
without the use of money or the aid
of corporate power. If our adversar
ies so desire let them pursue that
com se.
Hut there arc times in,the life of a
nation" like this when money and co
ercive influences are of no avail.
There comes a time, when the
quickened consciences of an enlight
ened people impel action, which
in it her money nor influence can
eh. ck.
That time in my judgment is here.
Lit. every man from this hour for
ward perform his duty in a manly
nnd honorable way.
l/et this be a campaign of educa
tion and argument. Let our appeals
be lo the reason and patriotism of
the American people. Let us be vigi
lant and unceasing in honest work
for a righteous cause, and a glori
ous victory in November will crown
our efforts.
Bryan on Trust Question.
Indianapolis, Ind., Special.—Wil
liam Jennings Bryan spoke here
Tuesday onjrfhe subject of Trusts,
this being tIV second in his series
of speeches, lie argued thnt th
policy of the republican party was
to foster monopoly, «yid this resulted
in the worst form of socialism. He
claimed that the republican tarifi
system tends to centralise wealth
and power and that popular govern
ment is in danger from a continua
tion of the policies republicans stand
for. Mr. liryan was attentively
listened to by a large audience.
