What Bryan Said.
Mr.. Bryan was then introduced, and
was given an enthusiastic welcome He
| spoke in part as follows:
IN speaking in Chicago l am embarrass-
| ed by the fact that the advocates of the
| Chicago platform are divided into two
| camps. Ii is not my business TO establish
/ a secret service in order TO ascertain what
| Democrats are most devoted to the pr.n-
! ciples set forth in the last party creed. All
| Chlcago platform Democrats look alike to
me, and, instead of trying to drive any
| professed believer in that platform out
| OF the party. my act is to so impress
. a all TAsar,r
! triumph of Democratic principles that all
| local differences will be lost sight of in
| the determination TO restore the govern
ment to the foundations laid by the faith
| ers.
In the brief time that I shan speak to
| you, l desire to coudense what l have to
| say upon three subjects in a few brief
propositions. First, President Mckinley,
| by sending a comm ssi5n TO Europe to Sc
| cure international bmetaIism confessed
! the gold standard 10 he unsatisfactory
! Second, The failure of the commission to
secure international bimetallism proves
| that bime tallism can he restored only
! through independent action. Third the
! gold standard is maintained to-day not
| because the American people desire il, but
| because few English nnanc.ers, by CON
| trolling the policy of England, control
| through the Republican parry the inan-
| cial policy of the United States. Fourth,
]
! in the Klondike and the Importation of
gold from Europe have increased the vol
ume of money aud improved times. 1t is
evident that more money makes better
times and times could be stiH further i'm
proved, and the improvement made perm
anent, by the restoration of bimetalism
which would make silver, as Wen as god
available for coinage. Fifth, If it was more
difficult TO maintain the parity between
gold and silver when the supply of silver
was increasing. il must now be easier to
maintain the parity since the supply of
god is increasing
His Words Trusts.
"On the trust question suggest the fol-
lowing propositions for your considera-
ton: First, the trust is menace to the
welfare of the people of the United States
| because it creates a monopoly and gives TO
the few in control of the monopoly almost
unlimited power over the lives and happi-
ness of consumers, employers and produce
ers of raw material. Second, the President
appoints the Attorney General and can. if
he desires, secure an Attorney General who
will enforce the antitrust laws Third, the
Attorney General can recommend sufficient
laws, if present laws are insufficient.
Fourth, the Attorney General can recon-
mend an amendment TO the constitution
if the present constitution makes it i'm
possible TO eXttnguish the trust. Fifth, The
Republican party is pOwerless to extin-
guish the trusts so long as the trusts fur
nish the money TO continue the Republican
party in power.
The Philippine Question.
'In the Philippine question certain fun
damental principles are involved First
there are but two sources of government
force and consent monarchies being
founded on force. republics upon consent
The Declaration of Independence asserts
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed
Third, if the Declaration of Independence is
sound he cannot rightfully acquire title 10
the Philippine Islands by conquest or by
purchase from an alien monarch, to whose
rebellious subjects we ourselves furnished
arms. Fourth, if the Filipinos are and of
right ought to be free they should be i'm
mediately assured of our nations intention
to give them independence as soon as a sta
BILE government can be established. Fifth,
the Filipinos having fallen into our hands
by accident of war, should be dealt with
according to American principles and not
only be given independence, but protected
from outside interference while they work
out their own destiny.
TiIIman Addressed Meeting.
The following is an extract of Senator
Tillman's speech:
1.-THE last time I had the pleasure of
addressing a Chicago audience was the
night before the election in 1896, and il
was Just as we'll and rOared just as loudly
as you do. But what did you do next
day? You surrendered to the dictates of
the men who had you employed, if any
of you are humble and obscure enough
to be employed. You went 10 the polls
and voted for your own slavery" Sena-
tor Tilman talked at some length con-
Guiding as follows:
will o hattie
1904 and in 1903, and in the future-sm-
ply because we are now industrial slaves
living here year in and year out with
nothing more than a bare competence,
nothing more than bare living, and we
have sworn by the Almighty God that we
will fight along that line until the men
of the West are aroused TO their interests
and keep the gold bugs of the West and of
the East off their backs. We cannot af-
ford to give up the Chicago platform. If
it was right in 1896 it is right in 1899. 1t
will be right next year and right is right,
