just powers from the consent of the
governed, then I want TO ask how can
you buy the right to govern people or
secure time to them by force?'
The third question was:
rs the Filipino going TO be a citizen
or a subject"
And the fourth question:
can you purchase trade with human
blood?"
The fifth question related to the
establishment of a prOtectorate in the
Philippine islands, concerning which
Mr.. Bryan said:
Republicans say that we cannot pro
teCt the Filipino without great deal OF
trouble. We have protected the re-
publics of Central and South America
for seventy-five years and we have had
no authority in those South American
republics. We have never governed
them, but we have protected them
from outside interference. 1t has never
cost anything, but it has been valuable
to them
1.-The Republican doctrine is the doc
trine behind which the mOnarchieS of
the old world have hidden when they
have wanted TO plumber people under
the pretense of protecting them. Ours
is a different prOtectOrate."
Concluding his presentation of these
inquiries Mr. Bryan said:
When the Republicans get through
arguing those five questions I viii
have some more for them. The trouble
is that the Republican party is not at
tempting to meet the issues of this
campaign
After concluding his meeting at the
tent Mr.. Bryan was driven to the
Grand Opera house, where he made his
last speech Of the night to a cOngre-
cation composed largely of women,
some of whom had held their seats for
three and four hours.

At Georgetown the meeting was held
IN the puDilc square, across the street
from the court house. in the rear of
which stood a cOnspicuously PAINTED
post, which under the laws of Delaware.
is used as a whipping post. At that
point Mr.. Bryan spoke for about forty
minutes, giving his special attention TO
the interests of the farmers, of whom
the audience was largely composed. In
the beginning the audience appeared
cold. but il warmed up and the ap-
plause was both frequent and general
toward the close of The speech
Supports Income Tax.
Mr.. Bryan at Milford spoke at length
of the trusts and took strong grounds
in support of an income tax. declaring
that such a tax was more just than a
levy upon land. The tax upon land
alone must be paid whether the land
produces anything or not. but no tax on
income could be collected unless there
was an income upon which to base it
