boxes of exquisite cut flowers were

the White House.
| WAGONS AND BUGGIES.
Flint turned out a crowd of several
| thousand enthusiastic shouters. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to the
| court house square, where a decorai-
| ed platform had been erected. Judge
| William Newton introduced the cand-
idate and his wife 10 the audience
and a rousing cheer Went up in re-
Spouse. The meeting was enthusiastic
| throughout the 25-minutes. Nj. Bry-
an said in part:
"'One of your bankers called a farm
/ er into his office and told him that II
Mr. Mckinley was elected he could
| have the farm, but that if l was elect
ed he could not foreclose the mortgage
because he would then be able TO pay
the mortgage. This IS a great city
| for the manufacture Of carriages, WaS-
ons and buggies. I want 10 ask those
who make wagons to think for awhile
and see whether they sell their waS-
ons to the financiers or the farmer, and
If they sell their wagons to the farmers
l want them TO figure out how farm
er can buy more wagons than he gets
less for his products. I want those
who sell wagons 10 farmers to realize
for once that their prosperity depends
upon the farmers who buy wagons and
not on the financiers who charge in

ons. If you sell buggies I want TO ask
you whether you are interested in sell
ing more buggies than you do now. If

when more people are able to buy bug
gies. When you lessen the number OF
people who can buy buggies you have
got 10 lessen the product OF your bug
gy factories, and when you make less
buggies you can employ less men MAX
ing buggies, and when you employ less
men making bugg1es, your Storekepers
have less people 10 sell their goods to.
Ny friends, We are able 10 met the ar
gumepts of our opponents and the best
evidence that they have lost faith in
their cause, that they have lost faith
in the logic of their position, and in
the justice of the gold standard, is to
be found in the fact that instead of
submitting their cause TO the judgment
Of the people they have resorted to CO.
ercion and intimidation in order to Sc
cure by force what they cannot secure
by reason. l am willing 10 submit any
question, however great or small, TO
the people of the United States. and
am willing to abide by their decis-
ion.''
INCOME TAX AND ANARCHY.
Saginaw, Mich. Oct. 17-Union Park
race course had a great crowd inside
the enclosure when Mr.. Bryan arrived
today. The grand stand was filed and
the track immeditely in front was one
dense 'throng. They were packed in SO
tightly that several women tainted and
We're passed out over the heads of the
asSemblage. It Was an enthusiastic au-
dience and Mr.. Bryan's speech was
punctuated with applause and cheers. !
He discussed the money issue in much |
tire same manner as before. defended the !
plank in the Democratic platform de- |
claring fer the income tax by quoting !
from the dissenting opinion Of Justice |
Brown, and said that before he could be /
declared an anarchist, an anarchistic |
badge would have to be pinned on the |
coat of one of the judges of the supreme |
court. The quotations were:
while 1 have no doubt that congress
will find some means of surrounding |
the present crisis, my fear is that in !
some moment of national peril this de- /
cision will rise up to Illustrate it's will /
and pararyze it's arm
Hr. Bryan then proceeded:
Now, remember these words which !
/ am about to read: = hope it may not
prove the first step toward the submer-
gence of the liberties of the people in a
sordid despotism of wealth.
REPUBLICAN SAID IT.
ny wealthy friends, it was a Repub-
iican who said that, judge of the SUI
prenIe court of the United States, and
while l am a Democrat, ] endose what
that Republican judge said, and think.
my friends. that the policy that lies be-
hind that decision means a submergence
Of our liberties in a sordid despotism of
wealth. And before anybody calls me
an anarchist for believing that. l want
him to take an anarchists badge and
pin 1t on Justice Brown of the supreme
court.
Let me read some more of what he
says: AS / cannot escape the conyic-
Ion that the decision of the court in
this great case is fraught with i'm
measurable danger TO the future of the
country, and that II approaches the pro-
portions OF a national calamity, feel it
duty TO enter my protest against it,
Great applause and chsers.)
That is what your Republican judge
said; yet, in the presence OF This Ian
suage, that 1T approaches the proper
ions OF a national calamity we are told
hat we must keep silent. And who says
70? The men who ought to be paving
heir taxes and supporting the govern
nent and want the poor people of the
United States to do il for them. Not
'n1y that, but the men who condemn
hat decision are not honest enough to
ell you that they oppose our position be-
'ause they don't want TO pay their taxes.
HOW ABOUT FREE TRADE?"
- friends. l have not nesitated TO
Express my opinion of the man who
wants this government TO protect him Z
md does not want 10 pay his share TO
uport that government. I have said
hat the man who wants the protection ,
4 this government yet is not willing 20
'ay his share Of the taxes does not de-
erve TO live in government ike this.
A voice: How about free trade?'1
Free? Did you say that? laugh ,
err Do You believe in protection?" a .
'oice: I don't know.O
We'll II you don't know. you are a
mighty good man to have at this meet

want protection win join with ne in put
Ing a proh5bitory duty on foreign finan-
iai policies. I viii discuss the rest Of
