BRYAN TRUST.

In his speech be-
N fore the Chicago
conference on trusts, September 16,
1899, William Jennings Bryan said:
"One trust magnate may be more ben.
evolent than another, but there is no
good monopoly in private hands, and I
do not believe it is safe for any man or
group of men to monopolize any article
The Conservative, 1900-10-25
Chairman Jones
JONES PROTESTS.

'' nv is very much hurt
because of the suggestion made by Sec-
retary Gage that Bryan, if elected presi.
dent, could have his secretary of the
treasury pay out silver where "coin"
was stipulated in the contract. He
thus Indignantly resents the question
raised by Mr.. Gage:
"It has been the fashion of the repub-
licans for some years to denounce dem
ocrats as anarchists, revolutionists, etc.,
but all fail. minded men will admit that
at this time the republican party seems
to have monopoly of revolutionary
suggestions. We see secretary Of the
treasury in an effort to disturb the bust
ness of the country for political effect,
suggesting that Mr.. Bryan, in case of
his election, would deliberately evade
the law, with purpose as unstatesman-
like and unpatriotic as his own in max.
ing these suggestions. Fortunately,
Mr.. Bryan has been before the public
long enough for every one to know that
tricks and false pretenses are not among
his weapons, and suggestions of this
kind excite contempt"
During the last session of the fifty
third congress, in 1896, Mr.. Bryan, in
speaking for his
Would Evade the Law. amendment to
the gold bond bill, said:
II offered an amendment which re-
affirmed the Matthews resolution declar
ing all coin bonds payable in gold or
silver, and yet less than twenty Il think
only thirteen) republicans voted for my
amendment. The great majority of the
republicans thus declared that coin
bonds are gold bonds in fact. If coin
bonds are really gold bonds there is less
reason for agitation about the use of the
word gold in the bond. We aDho believe
that greenbacks and treasury notes are
redeemable either IN gold or silver, at the
option of the govermment-aDe, acho believe
IN the right Of the government to redeem
its coin bonds in either gold or silUer-we,
say, can object to gold bonds as vic.
lent change in our monetary policy, but
those who insist that greenbacks, treas.
ury notes or coin bonds are all payable
in gold on demand have far less reason
to criticise the president" This is
found in the Congressional Record, page
287, appendix, 4D, fifty-third congress.
This speech of Mr.. Bryan justifies all
that Secretary Gage has said. It shows
that Mr.. Bryan would, if elected presi-
dent, do exactly what Secretary Gage
said he could do. If Mr.. Jones believes
this would be an evasion of the law, a
trick, or false pretense, Bryan is pledg-
ed to this sort of evasion and trickery.
The Conservative, 1900-10-25
BRYAN FOUR YEARS AGO AND NOW.

[The impression Bryan made upon the
people Of New York, while guest of
Mr.. Croker and Tammany, is quite
faithfully portrayed by the following
editorial from the New York Post i
Bryan has made his visit to New York
city, and the demonstration, from the
spectacular point of view, was all that
he could have wished. Tammany hall
did it's best to furnish crowds, enthu.
siasm, and red fire wherever he went,
with Croker himself always on hand to
see that the program was carried out as
planned. The candidate was deeply
impressed by this exhibition of the
power exercised by the organization and
by the generalship Of it's boss. In open
ing his last speech at Cooper Union,
Bryan said:
"This is my fourth meeting for to-
night. It concludes the ratification
meetings held under the auspices of
Tammany, and I am prepared to say
Great is Tammany, and Croker is it's
prophet"
It is inevitable that one should con-
trast the present appearance of Bryan
with his visit to the city four years ago.
The chief speech of last evening was de-
livered in the same place where he
spoke in 1896. Then he read long
and dull discussion on the financial
question in Madison Square Garden,
while the audience dwindled away last
evening he spoke for something over an
hour without notes, and held the close
attention of his hearers. The three
shorter speeches afterward had the same
characteristics.
AS an agitator, Bryan showed him
self at the Garden last evening able, ad-
roit and forcible. To the great major
ity of the audience all that he said was
new. The careful reader of the reports
of his tour in the west, however, soon
discovered that he was only repeating
those things which he had found to take
best with his hearers. Here were all of
those catch phrases, about the republl-
can party suggesting to the farmer that
it is silent partner with the Almighty
in giving him good crops, while "the
fact is that the republican party, instead
of being the silent partner, makes all
the noise and the Almighty gives the
silent part )" about Solomon's proverb
regarding the wise man who forseeth
foolish pass on and are punished, "con-
densed so that you can remember it,"
and now rendered, "The wise man gets
the idea into his head, the foolish man
gets it in the neck" about the republi-
can president sending a message of con.
dolence on the death of king, but no
