William Jennings Bryan' letter ac

follows: &.3:ibt;Z'ft'
Hon. James D. Richardson, Chairman,

Gentlemen: In accepting the noml

the Democratic party, Xlbeg to assure
you of my appreciation of. the great
honor conferred on me by vthe dele

by the voters who gave Instruction to
the delegates. - " , , ,
I am sensible of the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
of so great a nation, and realize the
far-reaching effect of the questions In
tolved in the present contest , .
In my letter of acceptance of 1898
I made tne following pledge: - , i
"So deeply am I Impressed wltn the
magnitude of tha power vested by the
Constitution to chief executive of
the nation and a 4th the enormous Jn4
flnence- which he can yield for' the ben

announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express, my fixed determi
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be a candidate for re-election. La

prominence to the trust question The
appalling growth of combinations in
restraint of trade during the present
administration, ,l proves 1 conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
the desire or the ability to deal with
tho question effectively.: If as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Republican leaders, that
party does not intend to take the peo
ple's side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condem
nation of trusts to be found in the Re
publican platform Is designed to dis

NO defense can be made of an Indus

men, ban control for their own profit.
the output or price of any article of
merchandise. Under such a system the
consumer suffers extortion, the produ
cer of raw material has but one pur
chasef,:nnd must sell '"at the arbitrary
price fixed; the laborer has but one
employer,' and is powerless to protest
against injustice, either In wages or
In conditions of labor: the small stock
holder Is at the mercy of the specula
tor, while the traveling salesman con
tributes his salary to the Overgrown
profits of the trust Since but a small
proportion of the people con share in
ths advantages ; secured by private
monopoly, it follows that the remain
der of the people are not only ex
cluded from the benefits, but art the
helpless victims of every monopoly or
ganized. It is difficult to over-estimate
the Immediate injustice that may be
done, -or to calculate the ultimate ef
fect of. this Injustice upon the social
and political welfare of the people.
Our platform, after suggesting certain
specific remedies, pledges the party to
an unceasing warfare against private
monopoly In nation, state and city,
heartily approve of this promise;
I
If
elected, it shall be my earnest and ccm-
Btant endeavor JtQXiunil tne promwe la
letter and spirit I shall select an at
torney 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 hope, a
constitutional amendment Is found to
be necesssary, I shall recommend such
an amendment as will, without Impair
ing' 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 corpora
tions engaged in Interstate commerce.
The platform accurately ' describes
the Dlngley tariff law, while It con
demns It as a "trust breeding measure,
skillfully devised .to. give to the few
favors which they do not deserve, and
to place upon the many burdens which
they should not bear." Under its op
eration trusts can' plundeT the people
of the United States, while they suc
cessfully compete in foreign markets
with manufacturers of other countries.
Even those who Justify the general
policy ef protection will find it diffi
cult to defend a tariff which enables
a trust to exact an exorbitant toll
from the -citizen.
