Présentation de l'éditeur
Abstract of speech by Mr, Bryan at New Haven Jackson Day banquet, January 11, 1904.) The word campaign suggests warfare. We use terms with which we are familiar in physical struggles to describe those political contests in which we appeal not to visible force, but to those invisible influences which are stronger than the arm of man. And it is especially fitting to use military phrases tonight when we assemble in memory of Andrew Jackson, who showed in civil contests all of the courage and purpose that he displayed on the battle field. It is good tactics to strike the enemy where he is weakest, and use the weapons which are most effective. The weak point of every bad policy is that it sacrifices human rights to selfish interests, and today to prove a system evil we have only to show that it violates that sense of justice which is satisfied with nothing less than equal rights to all and special privileges to none. The only appeal which is permanent in its effectiveness and enduring in its usefulness is the appeal to conscience, and while it may seem weakness to the brutal and folly to the sordid it arouses a response which at last sweeps everything before it. The conscience controls human actions whenever it is weakened, and it is only weakened by a voice from another conscience. If we would touch the consciences of others we may get evidence that our own consciences have been quickened. The great issue at this time is the issue between man and mammon, between democracy and plutocracy.
