Mr.. Bryan's first speech of the day was
delivered from the .veranda of the West
Superior hotel in West Superior. He be-
gan there at a few minutes before
o. clock and talked half an hour to a large
audience, dwelling especially on the trust
a combination of the -four milling indus
tries.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan also referred to
1894. in which the President attacked the
Democratic party. He quoted the follow
ing from the speech:
'They were the enemies of the trusts
when they wanted the votes of the people
in 1892, and when they got the power to
deal a blow az trusts, according to the
testimony of their own members they
became the willing tools of the NEST gi-
gantic trust of the country
Remarking upon this quotation, Mr..
Bryan said: Mr. Mckinley complains
that the Democrats did not destroy the
trusts when they had an opportunity,
and when he complained you must believe
he was honest in his complaint. You can
yet Mr. Mckinley has been President for
3l2 years and during that time more
trusts have been organized than in all the
previous history of the country, and he
has allowed three sessions of Congress to
convene and adjourn and did not recon-
mend a specific measure for the destruc-
ton of the trusts
Now if you believe Mr. Mckinley was
honest when he condemned the Demo
Gratis for not destroying the trusts. how
| can you explain his policy in doing the
same thing? He selected an attorney
general from New Jersey where most OF
the trusts have their homes. and that at
torney general draws his salary for not
interfering with the trusts"

armory to great crowd. Mr.. Bryan said
he could hope to add nothing to the argu-

against the dangers that threaten YOU

Mr.. Bryan first adverted to what he
characterized the Republican fondness
issue. That party is bending all its en-
erges," he said, towards the aggrandize-
ment Of wealth and the degradation Of
mankind. But partial as the Republican
party is towards the money question, the
party is being driven from it and some
are taking refuge in the tariff question"
Mr.. Bryan believed that they would also

close Of the present campaign.
Referring 10 the trusts. Mr.. Bryan said
that there could be no good monopoly in
private hands. lie referred again to Sen
ator Hanna's declaration that If the
trusts should prove dangerous the Repub-
lican party would take care Of them

the flour mills ana those in your own city.
They have allowed the trusts to close

to the people 10 put up a high tariff. and
yet whenever trust can close five or six
mills in one town. there is not q Repub-

The trust that does it,"
Speaking of the agricultural interest.

proposed NJ remedy for the evils encom-
passing that industry.
