shall at a futurcdny and in afornial letter
accept the nomination which is now ten-
dered by the notification connaittoc, and I
shall at that time touch upon the issues
presented by the platform. It is fitting,
however, that till this time, in the presence
of those here assembled, I speak at some
length in‘regard to the campaign upon
which ‘wo ure‘now entering. We do not
underestimate the forms arrayed against
us, nor are We uiimliulful of the honor.
tunes of the struggle in which we are en-
gaged: but, relying for success upon the
righteousness of our cause, we shall defend
with all possible vigor the positilms taken
by our party. Woare not surprised that
some of our opponents, in the absence of
better argument, resort to abusive epithets,
but they may rest assured that no lau-
guago, however violent, no invcctlvos,
however vehement, will lead us to depart
marked out by the national convention.
The eitiacn, either public or private, who
nssails the clinriuitcr and questions the pa-
triotism of the delegates assembled in the
Chicago convent-ion assalls the character
and questions the patriotism of the mil-
llous who have arrayed themselves under
the banner there raised. .
It has been charged by men standing
high in business and political circles that
our platform is a menace to private smur-
ity and public safety, and it has been as—
serted that those whom I have the honor
for the time being to represent not only
meditate an attack upon the rights of
property, but are the fees both of social
order and national honor.
Those who stand upon the Chicago plat‘
form are prepared to make known and to
dcfcud'overy motive which influences t hem,
everypurposo which nuimaies them and
every hope which inspires them. They au-
dcrstaud the genius of our institutions,
tbcyaro slouch siipportcrsof the form of
government under which we live. and they
build their faith upon foundations laid by
the fathers. Andrew Jackson has stated,

The Income Tu Decision.
The Chicago platform has been mn-
tlciuncd, by some because it disscnts from
an opinion rendered b the supreme court
declarin the income ax lnwunconstitu-
tlonal. ur critlcs even go so far as to ap-
ply thc liuuio aimrchist to those who stand
upon that plank of the platform. It, must
be rciucuibcml that we expressly recog-
nize the binding force of that decision so
longas it standstill a port of tlic law of
the land. There is in the platform no sug-
gestion of an 'nttciupt to dispute the all»
thority of the supreme court. The party is
simply pledged to use “all the constitu-
tional power which remains after that de-
cislon or which may come from its reversal
by the court as it may hereafter be consti-
tuted.” Is there any disloyalty in that
pledge? For a hundred years the supreme
noun of the llnltcd States has sustained
tho principle which underlies the laconic
tax. Some ‘20 years ago this same win-t
sustained without a' dissenting voice on iii-
cmuc tax law almost identical with the
one recently overthrown. ']ias not a fugue
court as much right [dictum to the judi-
cinl pm'iulcnts of a century as the present
court. had to depart from tlictu? When
courts allow rcbcarlngs, they admit that
error is jmssiblc. The late decision againsti
the income tax was rendered by a majority
of one after a rehearing. ' I I
While the money question ovcrslindows
all other questions in importance, I desire
it distinctly undershiod that I shall offer
no apology for the income tax plank of the
Chicago platforili. The last. income tax
law sought to apportion the burdens of
govcrnuwnt more equitably among thus»
who enjoy the pmtection of the govern-
iucnt. At present.- thc expenses of the. fod-
rvral govt-rniiicntmilllci'tcd through internal
l‘l‘\l.‘lllll‘. taxes and import duties, are espo-
ciully burdensome upon the pmrcr classm:
of society. A law which collects from sunn-
citizens more than their share of the taxes
and collects from othcr citizens ll‘s‘fi than
their share is simply an indirect lumps
of transferring our man's prop-rty to an-
otbcr iuau's pocket, and while tlu- [W‘IK'I'Sp'
