Last Friday night William J. Bryan adj
dressed an immense meeting at st. Louis,
held under the auspices OF the Jefferson
Club, and in the course of his remarks
said -
If all men are created equal, then it is
wrong that one corporation shall conspIre
with another corporation to defeat the
laboring man and then get court to en-
join the laboring man. In opposing govern
ment by injunction we do not attempt to
deny corporation any reasonable right,
but we say that corporation is creature
of law. It cannot exist unless man per
mits, and we insist that the creature of
mans laws shall be the greater than the
creatures OF flesh and blood whom God
created and placed on the earth. All men
are equal. and to insure their rights in the
courts OF Justice the jury system vas ess
tabiished. It has been the bulwark Of the
masses, more necessary to-day than ever
before 10 the world. Government By in
junction is merely means Of defeating

There are one million pensioners now and
100000 applications pending, which the
New York Times thinks is reason enough
for publishing the pension list. Continuing,
it says =" Twenty five years ago it was
said in the House of Representatives that
in the natural course of events the number
of pensioners would shortly diminish from
year to year and the annual appropriation
would be smaller and smaller. If pensions
had been restricted to veterans suffering
from disabilities incurred in the service, the
only pension which does not degrade those
who receive it, the list would have dimin-
ished and the expenditure would now be
borne without distress or complaint by
grateful Nation. But the granting of PEN
sions to everybody who asks for one, to
men who never went to the front nor heard
musket fred, to deserters and camp fol-
lowers, to foreigners, and to peIjured beg
gars who get full disability pensions for
infrmities that never existed, has length
eued the roll and added to the burden un-
til pensions have become National scandal
and their cost terrible drain upon the
resources of the Nations payers"
In the closing sentences of a column
article on this subject, the Times says
Taxpayers merely grumbIe when they
are told that they are helping to make up
the sum of $4,000 900 for million
pensioners thirty-two years after the end
of the war. They will glow with wrath
when they know that part of the tribute
extorted from them goes to the village
drunkard and another part to the richest
man in town"
