termed greedy" and it was stated
that Luetgert intended to rp-

Luetgert wrote that on the first day
OF the trial there was to be great
surprise for the police and the state.
An attorney of world wide fame Was
to be engaged, and when "the dogs of
the police" saw whom it was they
would quail with fear
After the letters had all been read
Mrs Christine Feldt was called to the.

the Big Corporations
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8.-Before a
throng of eager listeners, composed
mostly of laboring men, Ex-Governor

Injunction" He favored government

throughout Ireland fully corroborate
the alarming predictions cabled Satur-
day of the failure of the harvest and a
consequent impending famine. Cries
of warning to the government are ris.
ing in a crescendo scale from all parts
of Ireland. They are not confined, as
in former years of distress, to the con-
gested districts of the western sea,
board.
From Mullingar, one of the most
prosperous parts of Midlands, cor
respondent telegraphs: 1.-The crops
are now irretrievaby destroyed. 1t
will be impossible for the farmers to
make anything of their cereals this
year, as they are quickly rotting: If q
change does not come Immediately the
crops might as well be left to manure
the ground"
From County Wexford, noted as one
of the rich est in the country, the It'd
lngs are: 1.-The green crop may be
described as a gigantic failure in Coun-
ty Wexford this year The greater
part of the potato crop is fit only for
cattle feeding -
From Fermanagh, in Ulster, a cor
respondent telegraphs: "At a meeting
held here to ask for a reduction in
rents, all the parish priests presiding,
declared that not since black lS47
have the prospects for farmers in this
district been SO bad In several places
the potatoes have been a ia lure Hun
dreds of tons Of hay have been ruined
by the heavy rains and foods 81
From Carlow, known as 1.-The model
country" comes the following dis
patch: 'There is before our farmers
an outlook as disastrous as it is pos
sible to conceive, owing to the fright
full weather. A great deal of the
corn out early remains n the stalks,
injured beyond recovery. In many
districts the farmers have been unable
to cut their crops, which present the
saddening spectacle, of being leveled
to the earth by the persistent rains,
while mass Of second growth and
weeds has come up The apprehen-
sions concerning potatoes also have
been dismally realized" ,"
At q meeting of a board of guar
dians at Mitchellstown, County Cork,
the chairman said: 9Th. potato crop
is generas-y a failure, while the other
crops have been hopelessly injured by
the unparalleled inclemency of the
season. We are on the verge of a
great agricultural crisis The outlook
in farming affairs is gloomy in the ex-
treme, and to aggravat. the condition
of affairs caused by the failure of the
potato crop, the prices of provisions
are considerably increased, and before
long the peohle who are supposed to
contribute to the poor rates would be
in the workhouse themselves.
These ev;"""ces of the widespread
character ruin wrou cht bv he
lnclement SEA son are merely samples
from numerous reports received The
Irish government has adopted no
measures yet to cope with the threat
ened famine.

Sr. Louis, Mo-, Sept The feature
of the Labor day cele ebration in this

Bryan at Concordia park. The big
gest crowd ever seen in the park
greeted the speaker His speech
throughout was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Previous to the meeting,
Mr. Bryan reviewed parade of Is. 900
laboring men. Mr.. Bryan spoke. in
part, as follows:
In pamphlet written by a dis
tinguished New York banker / find
the assertion that the prosperity of
farmers and laborers depends upon
the prosperity Of the business men
so long as one entertains such an idea
he is certain to entertain erroneous
views upon social and political ques-
tlons. All of the literary. profession.
al and commercial classes will find
upon investigation that they rest upon
those whose brain and muscle convert
the natural resources of the country
into material wealth.
Not only must any real prosperity
begin with those who toll, but the
nations progress toward higher civil
ization must be measured by the pro.
gress made by the producing classes.
Under every form of government it
has been possible to point to a few
persons possessed of means and re-
tinement, but it is the average pro-
gress, not the progress of the few.
that must be considered.
"Arbitration of differences between
large corporations and their employees
is one of the political reforms most
needed by wage earners. Until ar
bitration is secured, the strike is the
only way within the reach of la Dor.
Society at large is interested in the
application of the principle Of arbitra-
tion to the differences which arise from
time to time between corporations and
their employees.
"Laboring people have a special in
terest just now in securing relief from
what is aptly described as govern
ment by injunction The extent to
which the writ of injunction has been
abused within recent years has
aroused hostility which is almost
universal 1t is only question of
tune when government by injunction
will be cured by legislation. The main
purpose of the writ of injunction is to
avoid trial by jury. Trial by jury is
more important to the American peo-
pie to-day than it ever was before in
our nations history. 1t was or ginallv
intended as protection again st soci-
ETY., and 1t is to-day the main protec-
tlon the people have against plutoc-
racy, which is to this country what
ROYALTY is under a monarchical form of
government"
Mr. Bryan goes from st. Louis to
Kansas for a saries of addresses He
will speak at Burlingame Wednesday,
