the morning when he goes to breakfast

To please the emperor she has TO be an
early riser, though she hates it; and
sometimes she has to be punctuaI The
emperor waits dinner for her half an
hour without grumbling, but when she
is an hour late he knits his brow.
OF course her house is much sought
after, and people try to obtain imperial
favors through her But she has much
tact, and rarely approaches the emperor
In any ones behalf But she is the most
charitable person in the world, and she
makes inquiries of the incomes of all her

who address her in need, never meet

to-day Mr.. Bryan spoke from stand erect
ed at the intersection of Commercial and
Sixth streets. He said: II notice that the
Republicans try to make the paramount
issue that of prosperity, and as l came
down the street I noticed that next to a
tombstone establishment, very properly
Republican headquarters are located. There
Is sometimes great significance in acct
dents; sometimes ii seems as If there Is a
divinity that shapes our ends and brings
into close conjunction those things that

In speaking of the effects Of the trusts
Mr.. Bryan warned the farmers not to get
caught in the barbs as the barbed wire
went up under the influence of the barbed-
wire trust. Il know of nothing more pa
thetic," he said, than TO see Republican
farmer dangling in midair from a barbed-
wire fence and shouting for Mckinley"
Referring TO trusts, Mr.. Bryan said the
letters of acceptance OF both Mr.. McKin-
ley and Roosevelt had warned the people
that combinations of capital should not be
hurt. They spend more time in pleading
for the good trusts than in condernning
the bad trusts" he said
Discussing the plea that the acquisition of
the Philippines had divine sanction, Mr..
Bryan said: II have seen Republicans 60
ing up and down the land telling what
God wanted, when everybody who knows
them knows that God would never let them
know what He going to do, for fear
they would forestall the market. Who
speaks with divine authority? Who is in

Inst Sncech of the Tour.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 19.-There were
three times as many people at the baseball
park this afternoon could hear Mr.
Bryan The ladies in the grandstand
waved small flags as .ar. Bryan ap-
preached. In his speech he referred briefly
to the possibilities of the approaching cleo
ton and said, in part: Il have been over a
large part of the country. and have asked
the people: Do you find any who were
with us in 1896 who are against us nova?
There was one exception: they told me that
there was a young attorney who had been
with us in 1896. who is against us, and l
asked them what had caused it. Well.
they said, since 1896 he has become the at
torney of several corporations and he is
not his own master now. "
In speaking of the trusts Mr. Bryan said:
Even the newspaper editors were COM
PEELED TO write their editorials defending
the trusts on paper. the price of which has
been raised by the trust" He declared that
the Republicans were disposed TO make a
great deal over rise in farm products and
TO give very little attention to the increase
of prices in what the farmer has to buy
IL wheat goes up all attention is. he said
directed TO wheat, while III wheat goes
down and cattle go up. attention is directed
10 cattle and diverted from wheat So with
potatoes. When potatoes rise. every Repub-
lican orator i'm the country has his pockets
full of potatoes These orators forget the
fact that all prices are fixed by the trust
and that there is an advance in the price
of everything the farmer las TO buy.
Mr. Bryan said that If God was RESPONSE
BILE for our position with the Filipinos and
commanded us TO govern them. the COM
mand should be evidenced either by tn,
Bible or by special dispensaticn. He as
serted that the Bible did not justify our
taking the FiliDinos and said IL there was
n special dspensation ne would like to
know To whom lie revealed his plans
a voice answered: Ask Hanna
My friend. replied Mr.. Bryan THAT
is undue familiarity with a great name"
and went on with his speech. In conclud-
ing Mr.. Bryan made an appeal for large
popular majority, saying that majority
in the Electoral College alone would not
make the administration so strong with
the people In 1896 the people who were
called Anarchists bowed to the will of the
majority and not complaint was heard"
he said. II wonder sometimes whether the
great syndicates would have bowed to the
will of the majority then as our people
did. L want you TO make the majority
so large this time that not a single syndi-
cate will dare TO resist the power of the
public vote" Mr. Bryan concluded his
present tour with his speech here.
