FROM CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE.
Mr. Bryan Made Three Brief Speeches
En- Route to Milwaukee.
|
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 5.-Thrce five
minute speeches and thousands of hand
| shakes with more or less enthusiasm con-
stituted the incidents attending the trip
of w. j. Bryan from Chicago to this city
this morning. There were short stops at
| Waukcgan, Kenosha and Racine, and the
nominee spoke to crowds of hundreds at
each place. The party left Chicago at
S:45 and arrived here at 11.45. On board
We're Mr.. Il. G.. Wall, ]. |. Kimball, J.
=. Sombers, and at Kenosha a reception
| committee of twenty-five from this city,
headed by w. ii. Rogers, boarded the
train. AT the depot at Chicago there
were less than 100 to see Mr.. Bryan off
and small sized cheer went up as the
| train pulled out. The first stop was
| made at Waukegan, where about 700 peO-
| pie gathered about the car and demanded
Il speech from Mr.. Bryan. He was in
| PRODUCED by the chairman of the demo-
| cratic central committee as the next dem
| ocratic president of the United States.
Mr.. Bryan addressed the crowd very
| briefly. There was loud cheering for the
nominee when Mr.. Bryan had finished,
and then some one proposed Three
| cheers for Mckinley" and the crowd gave
| them with WILL These We're followed
by return cheering for the democratic
nominee, which continued until the trail
pulled out
Kenosha was the next stop, and 100G
people were waiting for the candidate.
Mr. Bryan spoke as follows:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-It is natural
that in country like this, where all
power emanates from the people and the
officers chosen by the people, that they
should feel an interest in public issues
and campaigns through which they pass.
When a time comes when some great
est is deepened, and we have reached
such time. Often it is matter of COM
paratively little importance whether an
| issue before the people is settled this year
or next, or Il few years in the future, but
there are times when great results de-
pend upon a campaign, and we have
reached such Il time. The money ques-
ton has been forced upon the attention
of the people by those who are not salts
fled with the great appreciation of the
dollar, but have sought to hasten the is
sue. 1t certainly has been too rapid be-
fore for the welfare of the people, but
those who were the beneficiaries of the
appreciation of the dollar were not salts
fled and attempted to hasten its rise by
action still more hostile to the white
metal They have not been content to
let the people have an increased volume
of money, but they have secured the re-
peal of the Sherman law and put nothing
in its place and then began to issue bonds
because hard times here made it impossi-
BILE to invest money in enterprises. Prop
erty was falling, and when property is
falling people do not want to invest i'll
property. They want to invest in money
and then when money was idle and they
could not find profitable investments in
enterprises some wanted to draw good
interest on it in safe Investments.
I'm my Judgment those who wanted
safe investment and wanted govern
ment bonds issued were, to Il large eX-
tent responsible for the result. In our
platform we have declared against the
issue of bond in times of peace
"When you come to consider these
questions, the interests of the people who
must pay the taxes which pay the bonds
should be considered rather than the peo-
pie who desire to profit by taxation wrung
from a people already overburdened. We
knew when we put the clause in our plat
would lose the bondholders, but we want
the people who pay the taxes. Great
applause)
A conservative estimate of the crowd
at Racine to meet Mr.. Bryan would be
1900 people, and it seems as if every one
of these was trying to Guido the other
in cheering and applaudng.
Capt w. b. Vance of Racine intro
duced Mr.. Bryan, who said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-When | see
large number of people who seem to be
interested in the success of the campaign
upon which we have started | sometimes
wonder whether it is possible our people
are deserving of the names that are be-
ing applied to you. If | am an anrchist.
then all that wants me to be elected must
be anarchists. (Applause.) When | look
into your faces | wonder whether you
are all enemies of the government or
enemies of those people who want to use
the government as Il private snap. Zap
pause.) There is a great difference in
being against the government and against
those who misuse the government and
Mr.. jackson said there was no necessary
evils in government that evils grow out
of its abuse. Some people do not draw a
line between government and the abuse
of government, and whenever people
speak out against the abuse of govern
ment those who are making money out
of the abuse generally find fault with the
people who complain and try to put them
in the attitude of opponents of the gov
crnment | want to assure you the most
loyal supporters of government are not
found in the great trusts, which they
think are greater than the government
and control it. There are friends among
the masses who want to secure love for
the government: Every citizen making
