terl Look before yea leap. I am going .e carry you along with me. l am not go- Ing to give .von any chance to get back across the branch You must burn the bridges II you follow me. Laughter and cheers deal in straight goods and noth- Ing; else, and 1 mean exactly what l say. ana l am talking to voR straight from the shoulder. l say this now: Can vou do it ey electfhg Mckinley and Hoharts say no and you say no. Let me give a reason Tor the Faith that is in me. Every large manutacturer in the country, with but lew exceptions, is contributing freely to the Mckinley and Hobart campaign fund every railroad company iii America stands ny Mckinley and Hobart, and the gold trust and the bond syndicate stands for Mckinley and Hobart. They represent the concentrated and mononelistie powers of money. Don't yen know itY fCries of
 es. They have no tax; now do you suppose they are going to elect a man that ls going to make them pay any2 Do you suppose that they are going to elect a man that will do anything that you want dones Do you suppose that he will take away the privileges from them which they now en- Joy, or regulate the class legislation by Which they now get their moneyy Do you thlnk these men are going to let Mckinley ana Hobart carry out our reform prinei- pies? No, mo-, from ali over the stand
 Then yon don't want Mckinley and Hos
 
 Can yon get reform by eleeting Bryan and Sewalls IThe crowd yelled itself hoafse at this jancture and men jumped upon the seats and chairs and shouted
 No! until they could not utter another word The crowd simply went wild. l Hold on, now boys. Here fellow shout ed, No Watson, no Bryan t' Just you keep from in front of the wagon; I'll attend to that; just you get i'll behind and keep up. No you can't do it by eleeting Bryan and Sewall. Why2 Because Sewall stands for the same monOpolistic interests that Mckinley does. Cheers. He stands for the same railroad combination that Me l<inley does He stands for the same na- tional bank privileges that Mckinley does. lie stands for the same autocratic power of money that Mckinley does. Sewall is a contradiction of Bryan and every argu- ment that proves Bryan to be right proves Sewall to be wrong Wild cheering Sewall. Now you have got Hebson's choice, boys. Laughter.l You can do it in only one way, and that is by meeting the Democrats half way and no more than half way. Tells. You can do it by standing i'll good faith by the action of the St. Louis convention and by the St. Louis platform. That platform lays down q law for you and me It did not do what l wanted done, as you all know l told them not to do it. 1 begged for them not to do it. But they did the best they could. They haven't violated their principles they haven't disbanded the party; they have left me in charge. lGheers. And while Tom Watson lives the Peoples party can't be buried. [Cheers.] Now say that you can't readjust the tax sys- tenn unless you stand by the St. Louis con vention and it's nominees Bryan. but not Sewail-Bfyan and Watson. lCheers. Every argument that proves Bryan right r4ra mo Fir ip Nh.a4p l mean business my past life shows; that 1 mean actual war, 1 have get the sears of battle on me to show. Peoples party of Texas, appeal to youl Listen to the voice of reason and not to the voice of passiou. Don't go astray You can't indorse sin gle Sewall elector. Cheers. They might offer yon 10 to ,, but the inconsistency would still be there; the degradation of party honor would still he there; the dis disgrace of your party flag would still be there. Ain't that so2 lCheers and af firmative yells. And you can't support q single Mckinley elector for the same req son. Cheers. Hear this doctrine. Listen to it before you act. 1 am going to give you the straight doctrine. You can't stand by Sewall and you can't stand by Mckin- ley: you must stand by your own nominee at St. Louis The only danger of Bryan's being defeated is the continuance of that man Sewall on the ticket Tells and q voice; That's right, Tom; give it to him again. Let that eastern man take his hat and go home. Laughter, This is a movement of the south and the west. Let a western man speak for the west and q southern man for the south. Cheers. This iS n movement of the masses. Let Bryan speak foe the masses and let Wat son speak for the masses and let Sewall talk for the banks and the railroads. Cheers.
 Now. we have got along very harmoni- ously SO far. haven't wes Laughter. Now let Us keep on down the line. There was another reason why you wanted re- form It was another element i'll your con tract. What was it9 You said that the transportation system was all wrong, and it must be righted Is it any less wrong now than if was in 1882 Are there not the same complaints now that there were thens You talk about our railroad system. What was our objection to it2 Now, mind you, l am not making any war upon the men who own them or the men who control or operate them. l am making war upon the system. They are simply doing what you or would do under che same system, because we are all made out of the same mud We are making war upon the sys- tenn, and say that the system iS wrong; Why? IL erectS in the government power greater than the government itself. and that oH9ht not to be It works in with trusts. monopolies and combinations and that ought not to he The system exercises the power of taxation without representa- tion, and that ought not to he. That sys tenn represents the autocratic power of money to discriminate against your indus try 50 build up another one, against your town to build up another town. against your state to build up another one. They can make the grass grow i'll the streets oi Dallas within year if they paralize it with antagonistic freight and passenger rates, and yea know ii. It's controlling power over legislation is wonderful It buys up congressman and legislatures and subsidies newspapers and those sources from which the public sentiment obtains is inspiration, therefore, the entire system is against good gov ernment. They say that the gov, ernment can't run the roads, and yet today the government is running large percentage of the roads through the Federal courts aided now and then by mailbag aud the United States army. ICheers. You say that if the railroads were owned by the government they would have too much power and yet to-day thel isn't railroad in America that isn't tr" ino to m0ke ifs elnpoyes come up to the
