'Vv?;; 1 v.:.-;,-:,: i The situation, so pointedly raises the query whether Mr. Bryan belongs to the Democratic" party or whether the DemocratlO party belongs .to. Mr. Bryan that the old discussion as to the true: nature of Mr. Brvan'a own politics and the. validity of 4ls pre tensions may be revived.. His eleva tton to the party leadership was orig inally accomplished as an Incident of a fusion movement. - and fusion has been a characteristic feature of his home politics, The-question wheth er, while claiming to, be a Democrat, he Is not essentially a Populist haa been much like the discussion wheth sr the lower MIsslslppt Is not In- fact a continuation " of the Missouri; It takes Its color from the Missouri and Its name from the direct source. Mr. Bryan bears the DemocratlO namrf, but the Populist color In his politics has always been ' marked. The' gov- ernment-ownarshlp . Issue, however, affords a spedfio test that has been icklng before.: Whether that Issue be sound or defective In theory, whole some or pernicious In practical Quail ty, by no sort of dialectic Ingenuity can it be reconciled to ths hlatorlo principles of .the Democratic party. It cannot possibly be Included among the. things that Jefferson would tiave done hadr he been confronted' with such conditions as are now presented. It embodies philosophy of government whtoh Is the, direct opposite of that which. Jefferson expounded and which he and his successors adhered to In their official acts. ' The record on this point Is full, complete and conclusive. . 'In his message of December t, 1808, and November 8, 1808, Jefferson took the position that the; Federal government had so light to, construct or operate roaoa, canais or omer in ternal Improvements, , except by ox- breaa srrsnt of anthorltv- thrnnrh amendment of ' the constitution for that purpose. ' The circumstances of Jefferson's . administration - did not make the matter a practical Issue. but It came up aa 'such In Madison's administration, "and , on March . 8. 1117, a bill for Internal improvements was voted, not because of disapproval of the particular objects, but because It was founded on a theory of Implied powers that must . ultimately, extln- guisn mate rights.. - ..- . , Public ownership of trunk lines necessarily .Involves .the assumption of Imperial powers by the - Federal government,;. In brinslns- forward this Issue1 Mr. Bryan makes if clear that. one part or his mission Is to eradicate from t the DemocratlO party the last traces of Jeffersonlan brfhclples.
