The laws providing for the payment of United States bonds ln Gasn worth double the value of greenbacks for which the bonds were bought were passed for the pur- pose of paying the bcndholders two dol lars for every one they had loaned the government and thereby enriching the bondholders, and all these dollars had to be paid by those whose labor created them
 'The Republican party of the United States stands today as the tool and ma chine and the representative of the money power, trusts and corporate in- terests of the United States. It is dom mated by Hanna, it's figurehead is Mo Kinley, and its principal ornaments are Griggs, Clapp Eagan, Gorbin and Alger with the demagog Roosevelt as a side show. The Democratic party of the United States stands now as the repre- sentative of the labor and producer of the land of the common and obscure people of the United States, of the doctrine that every man is entitled to the benefit of his own labor and to no more. The Democratic party of this country now stands committed tc the Chicago platform of 1896 In all human probability it will adopt the platform in 1900, and as for me, I would be glad to see added to it de- claration in favor of municipal owner ship, of municipal utilities, declara tion ill favor of the election of United States senators and United States judges by the people and declaration i'll favor of the abolishment of the life tenure of office in case of United States judges. It will declare against the acts of President Mckinley in the Philip pines, because imperialism, the gold standard and the trust are close akin. If the Democratic organ ization pursues this course and again nominates Bryan for the presi- dency, 1 do not believe there is money enough in the world to bring about his defeat. But if the Democratic party departs from the principles or any of the principles underlying the Chicago plat form of 1896, I believe it will be the third in the race when the votes are counted at the November election in 1900 I believe the common people will support that organization as long as it stands representative of them and their interests, and 1 believe they will aban- don it as soon as it so ceases to stand. believe that they understand that the man is greater than the party, and that the party ought to be the servant and not the master
 MT Taryin s as interrupted numer- our times during his speech by prolong ed applause and was given an ovation at the finish
 Then the man whom the people want ed to hear was introduced and from the very start Mr Bryan was given an oya tion.
 MT. Bryan's speech was along the lines of the one delivered last night, but decidedly more political He raked the trusts, defined the silver issue, denounced large standing army, riddled the Re- publican parry. told of the evils of imperialism and warned Democrats to do their duty so the victory would be theirs in 1900
 When Ddr. Bryan reached trusts he said.
 sAs to trusts, the eyes of the people are opening to their danger. Many people are not scared at the money trust, but they tremble at the mere mention of a toothpick or soap trust. When ever you approach near enough to the goldbug trenches you will see that the same men who are defending them are defending the trusts. MT. Mitchell, president of an Indiana savings bank. not long ago said the trusts in the long run
