platform of his special car and raised his

AMSTERDAM, n. Y, Oct 1S.-Mr. Bry-
ans first stop was at Schenectady, where
he spoke fer twenty minutes and his au-
dience filed the entire vacant space back
of the railroad station. The Edison Gem
eral Electric Works are located at Sche-
nectady and as the Bryan train drew up
to the station, Mr.. Bryan was greeted by
the waving of hats and handkerchiefs
from the windows of that institution. His
speech was a brief review of the general
political situation, covering the trusts and
the increase of the standing army espe-
cially. He said:
you have here large iaboring class.
want to ask the laboring men whether
they believe it is good to have great in
dusury dominated by one man or by a
group of men? Suppose a laboring man
has spent ten, fifteen or twenty years in
acquiring skill in an occupation is 1t wise
to have that mans labor hang upon the
decision of one man? What will the skill
ed laborer do If the terms provided for
his labor are. not satisfactory? He will
submit to them under monopoly. Why?
Because there is no other employer, and
!! If he goes out from that one place he has
to commence life over again, and all his
experience will be of no avail. If you
have number of large electrical plants,
genius and skill and ability will be in de-
nand and If one manager is not willing to
pay you what your services are worth,
you can go to another manager and get
" hat your services are worth. because
lcompetition will compel each man to get
the best brains and the best work posi-
bic. But when you have but one manager
you have to take the terms he gives
and the wages he is willing to give you,
because. If you turn your back on that
institution, you go out to idleness and
starvation.
| Can any laboring man believe monop-
oily is a good thing?'
| Referring to the plea that it is our duty
to remain In the Philippine Islands. Mr..
Bryan said:
THE advantage of the argument of duty
| is that you do not have to defend it. You
simply have to say it is your duty and
that avoids the necessity of any defense
They say it is our duty to stay there. i
ask them why? They say If we come
away the Filipinos will kill each other
therefore we must kill them first and take
from them the awful responsibility of kill
ing each other"
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking rail-
road engine pulled along behind him
compelling him to suspend his speech for
minute or two. He referred to the cir
,cumstance. saying: "It is hard to speak
outdoors under the most favorable cir
'cumstances, and 1 do not know of any
thing more unfayorable than to have a
railroad against you when you are speak
Ing or when you are running for office -
Mr.. Bryan was applauded at the close.
FONDA, N. Y, Oct. 1S.--Another large
audience greeted Mr.. Bryan at Amster-
dam. He spoke from the rear of his train
and the people covered all the adjacent
railroad tracks and freight cars. His
speech was an appeal to Republicans to
Investigate the Democratic side of the po-
litical situation, and he argued that If he
had been elected President instead Of Mr..
mckinley and had conducted himself to-
ward the trusts and army question as the
President had done. Republicans would
rot have condoned his conduct.
Urging that the water should be squeez-
ed out of stocks, he said: "If a laboring
man works for a corporation and the
times get hard. the money that ought to

wages in order to nav dividends on wa
