You talk to a Republican about trust
to-day and there is only one trust in ex-
istence. the ice trust. Every director OF
the ice trust is a Republican, and IL is
located in New York. and not Republican
In this city or in any city outside of New
York was ever hurt by the ice trust, and
the ice trust could not hurt the people OF
New York IL the Governor of New York
and the Legislature of New York, both
Republican, would protect the people from
the ice trust. I noticed that the Governor
said the other day that they were trying
TO do il, but had not succeeded. He had
better take lessons of the Democratic
attorney general OF Nebraska We had
ice trust organized in Omaha and II came
to the attention OF the attorney general
last May and he commenced suit against
1t. and on the first day OF August It was
dissolved. Our attorney general can dis

at Lewis sharp rain fell while he spoke.
but the crowd held its ground. He i'm
pressed on his hearers the necessity OF
electing Democrats to Congress. He said:
Send down TO Congress a man who will
vote against government by injunction;
who will vote for arbitration between labor
and capital; who will vote TO give labor
representative in the Presidents Cabinet;

Rain was still falling when Mr.. Bryan
reached Linton. but he had large audi
ence. though he spoke in the open air. He
spoke for forty minutes. his speech being
general review OF the situation. De-
claring that the laborer had nothing TO
hope for from the gold standard or the pro-

anything except the improvement of the
fortunes of comparatively few favorites

Speaking of the income tax question. Mr..
Bryan said: The Republican party has
placed tax on consumption. and when we
wanted an income tax the wealthy men OF
this Nation fought it, They said that an
income tax makes people lie. But If
man attempts TO lie when you try 10 tax

you place tax on consumption you make

according to what they have; and mems

people never meet them there You do not
get the blessings Of high tariff. II was
never levied for the benefit of the producer
of wealth. 1t was levied for those who call
themselves the captains of industry, but IL
is as in the army, where the officer gets
the glory and the big pay and the private
does the work and gets little reward"
