Chicago, Nov. William Jennings
Bryan this afternoon began his three
days itinerary of this city, addressing
vast concourse at Randolph street and
Michigan avenue. The speakers stand
was at the side of the public library,
and so dense was the throng around it
that the Presidential candidate was lit
orally dragged to the platform by squad
of policemen, who acted under the per-
sonal supervision of Mayor Harrison, who
had ridden with Colonel Bryan from the
railway station. Colonel Bryan was es-
corted from the Dearborn Street station
by the Cook County Democracy, through
Dearborn street, Jackson boulevard
Clark street, Madison, La Sale and Ran
dolph streets, which were lined with
humanity. The hour was especially aus
picious as thousands of working men
and employees had just completed their
days tasks and awaited the coming of
the Democratic champion
Colonel Bryan was in excellent voice
and this he used to good effect in re-
duciHS the storm of cheering that greet
ed him when he was introduced by
Michael Shields, ce-president of the
county committee His speech was ap-
plauded almost necessarily and at it's
conclusion he was driven to the Audito-
rum, where he took dinner after which
he proceeded on his tour of the north
west side of the city, where he made
eight speeches. all of which were made
TO large crowds. In his address at the
Public Library Colonel Bryan said in
part:
The Democratic party is not the party
OF any particular class or occupation and
not the party of any particular section.
1t is the party of all who are willing
TO give to society a fair compensation
for that which it receives from society
Democracy in it's triumph does not menace
any legitimate and honest business.
My friends, believe that the last four
years have taught the business men that
the Democratic party is the conservative
party of this nation and that the Re-
publican party is the revolutionary party
The business men ought to protest against
allowing the finances of the country to
be controlled by few financiers and
the industries of the country by a few
of the great trust magnates."
BRYAN'S PLEDGE TO FIGHT TRUSTS.
Here Mr.. Bryan devoted his entire
speech to discussion of the trust ques-
tion, treating it in much the same man
ner as in his previous speeches of the
present campaign. He said the nation
has grown to be the greatest nation on
earth under conditions which the Repub-
llcan party today is attempting to de-
stroy. He denounced what he called the
system of industrial despotism which
closes the door of opportunity against
the young man and condemns him to per-
petual clerkship. Republicans" he said.
nave no remedy; they propose no relief.
Ihey congratulate the country that things
are as they are. We demand a remedy;
we propose a remedy; we will apply
remedy. If you believe me honest, believe
me when l say that if you make me Pres
ident, every power of the executive will
be used to make it impossible for pri-
vate monopoly to live under the Amer
lean flag
1--WE propose first to put on the free
list every trust-made article, so that the
corporation will not be tempted to COM
bine here to raise the price at home
want to make it impossible for a private
monopoly to live and therefore, we pro-
pose that before any corporation organi-
Zed in auv State does business outside
of 4ho state it shall take out license
from the Federal government. Before
that license is given we propose that the
wafer shall be squeezed out Of the stock
and that the corporations shall show
that it is not trying to monopolize any
branch of business.
Why should you hesitate to shut

a peaceful mission. to present its wares
in competition with other wares and not

OF monopoly? ] believe that this rene
dy will prove effective. l believe that
If applied it would destroy every ex-
pecting monopoly and prevent the crea-
tion of new ones. But my friends, if
you have better remedy l will take
your remedy. All | want is to rid this
country of this new system that is going
to fasten upon us a slavery-a bondage
which is as bad as. if not worse, than
political bondage"
BEWARE OF IMPERIALISM
AT Muller Hail. on the North side. Mr..
Bryan said:
To-day no Republican speaker will take
the Presidents message of December 5th,
1880 asking for an army of a hundred
thousand men and attempt to defend it,
