WAS W.J. BRYAN GIVEN A SQUARE
DEAL?
One of the old time subscribers of
the Peoples Voice writes us from
Ocean Springs, Mis9., asking us for
our opinion as to whether or not the
contributions made by the Life In-
surance companies to the Republi-
can campaign Fund in 1890 and 1900
were made for the-purpose of giving
W. .T Hryan and the six million men
who supported him at the polls u
"Square Deal." The officers of the
Insurance companies have testified
that the campaign contributions
were made for the purpose of protec-
ting the interests of the policy hold-
ers by protecting toe investments of
the companies. The investments of
these insurance companies seems to
be of so questionable a character as
to be endangered should the Ameri-
can people be given n "square deal."
It is not nor has it been for forty
years the policy of the two old polit-
ical parties to give the American
people a "square deal." They are
merely tongs in the hands of Wall
street to rake chestnuts out of the
fire with and the one offering to Wall
street the best tong for their purpose
will receiye the support of Wall
street. There might be some ques-
tion as to the truth of this assertion
had the Democratic party never elec-
ted a president and a majority in
both houses of congress, but in 1893
with a Democratic president backed
by a strong working majority in both
houses of congress Wall street never
had a better tong to rake chestnuts
out of the fire for them than Grover,
and.be was elected simply for the
purpose of assuring the American
people that the Republican party
was not as bad as the Democratic
party. In other words just to make
them satisfied with the Republican
party. In the elections from 1870 to
1882 the people, by their ballots, be-
gan to show symptuios of dissatisfac j
tion with Republican party and of j
coursc Wall street desiring to have :
the people satisfied while they were j
being skinned, lauded Grover in the j
Presidential chair in 1884, but retain-
ed in power a congress and senate to
see that Orover behaved himself, and
in 1888 Grover was boosted out and
Harrison boosted in and during his
administration the coun'ry went to
the bow-wows and the dissatisfaction
of the people was greater than ever
and they began to organize a new
party. In 1892 Grover was recalled
and given a congress and =enate to
back him, and Wall street took this
golden opportunity to plunder the
people more than it had ever dared
to do before, thinking no doubt that
by making democratic object lesson
strong enough that people would
be satisfied when they again secured
a Republican administration of af-
fairs, The intelligence as well as the
indignation of the American people
was aroused soon after Grover s
second election an:l the Peoples Party
which had polled a million End a half
votes in 1892 sending Bryan and a
goolly number of men to congress
and the United States Senate, began
to'grow and spread like a prairie fire
and in the elections of 1894 gathered
in many states and sending an in-
creased number of men to congress,
(Bryan among them) and the United
States Senate and this caused Wall
street to see a danger to its reign
threaten from a source it had not
figured upon and naturally began
figuring on how to meet his new fac-
tor that had arisen in American poli-
tics. They knew that Cleveland's ad-
ministration was odious to the Amer-
ican people and rightly figured that
anything labelled "Democratic"
would have the odium of Cleveland's
administration to carry in the 1896
campaign. The Republican party
being in bad repute had lost heavily
to the Peoples Party ir. 1892 and 1894
and the danger was great that should
election in 1896 be left to be fought
out between the Republican and
Democratic parties that the slump of
voters from both of the old parties to
the Peoples Party would he 6uch as to
endanger the success of the Republi-
can candidate and be sure to make it
a formidable factor by completely
disrupting the democratic party, as
was the case in several of the states.
Some plan had to be deyised by Wall
street not only to save the Republi-
stay the Peoples Party as well and
this is just what was done by Wall
street in 1890. The Democratic party
was renovated, the old political skates
like C eveland were put behind the
curtain and Democrats like Bryan,
who had secured what prominence
they ihen possessed by virtue of
Peoples Party votes, before the foot
I lights and they preached populism as
j being the real genuine Jeffersonian
Democracy for which ihe Democratic
party had always stood until buncoed
by Cleveland and now the Democrat-
ic party as renovated stood for Jet
| lersonian Democracy and would ever
! sii stand in the future and the People
Party was asked to join in a9 there
| was now no difference.
i This new state ot things created a
difference of opinion in the ranks of
I Peoples Party. Some wanted to do
it and some did not; but when Bryan
was nominated on practically a
I Peoples Party platform the Peoples
: Party in national convention decided
j that if the Democrats would agree to

Wall street can use to rake chestnuts
out of th« lire with. A* long as the
Republican party fiirni>-hes Wall
street with a suitable tong nothing
will please Wall street better than
for the Democratic party to head its
ticket with men like Bryan. That
Wall street can, at any time it so de-
sires, nominate whomsoever it wills
as the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party, is evidenced in the
nomination of Judge Parker, who no
doubt was nominated for the purpose
of taking a little of the stiffness out
of Roosevelt's backbone, Roosevelt
is not just the kind of man Wall
street would place in the presidential
chair; but he reached it through a
combination of circumstances, and
his administration proving so accept-
able to the people Wall st-ieet no
doubt figured the expense of defeat-
ing for re election would be greater
than to justify and would reveal the
hand of Wall street power a little
plainer than desirable to he exhib-
ited.
Wall street is not in the business
of handing out "square deals'' to t'he
people. It don't pay Wall street to
do so. Wall street doe5 not care what
the people say about the sources from
whence come campaign funds, or how
used, as long as they continue to vote
the Democratic or Republican ticket.
The widows and orphans don't vtfte,
and what they say falls on de*f ears
in Wall street. Wall street is line
the saloon keeper—in business for
the money he can make out of it
What does the saloon keeper care
about the orphans and widows of the
victims of his business? If the peo-
ple permit Wall street to run the
government then the government is
going to be run in the interests of
Wall street most assuredly. That
both of the old political parties are
controlled by Wall street influences
is evidenced by campaign contribu-
tions both of them receive from it
and the character of the laws they
enact. A political party free from
the dominating influences of Wall
street is the cryiug need of the coun-
try. The kettle may be blacker than
the pot and the pot blacker than the
kettle. It just depends upon the ques-
tion of which one has been sitting
closest to the soot. This is equally
true of the two old political parties.
The one that can do the most effect-
ive work for Wall street is going to
get Wall street's support, and, un-
like the voters, the question of the
title of the party is no concern to
Wall street.
• Urvan and a souare deal
to all men," wri es our subscriber: but
Mr Bryan will seek in vain for it in
the Democratic party. The Demo-
cratic party as organized, and you
may reorganize it as much as you
please, is not a party where square
deals, or justice, is handed out to men
like Bryan. Gorman of Maryland,
Bryce of Ohio, J. K. Jones of Ark
ansas and Tom Taggart of Indiana,
men whom we recall as being Demo-
cratic National committeemen, were
never accused, as far as we know, of
dealing out "spuare deals "
