bers from the committee Joined N,
Bryan and he was conducted To N,
packing house center.
Addressed to Labor Element
Mr. Bryan's speech was addres,sA
entirely to the labor element, Of which
his audience was composed. He plup,.
ed Immediately into the full dlpus,
pail" subject and In that connection n.
ferred to, the anthracite coal strike 4,
proof. He said that the dinner p,Il /,
not always SO full as the Republican
orators would have their;audences b..
lieve. Mr.. Bryan also repeated his ~.
guments against the trusts. contendIr,
that they were calculated to cut OF An
the old time opportunities for youn,
men. ~ aE
The portion OF the address which va,
directed especially to the labor prob.
lem as affected by politics was as To-.
lows:
Il am glad to have this opportunity
Of speaking In this great iaboring cen.
ter. ! am proud to have the Demo.
cratic party receive the support o, IL.
laboring man. I believe It Is entitled /,
his support and II the laboring man
will take the two platforms and com.
pare the policies presented. l belley.
that we shall receive the vote Of every
one OF them who does not prefer success
of party to the triumph OF principle
l know that party prejudice is s,rOlg
All Loyal to Party.
II know that men are prone 10 en-.
dure from their party almost anyth,,
before they leave 1t, but / wan, to
speak to you, and ! want to assaz.
that you love your country better thu,
you love any party. and that when yOs
are informed upon the Issues Of Tie
campaign you will support that pty
which offers YOU the best principles sd
the best policies. II we talk to thar.
publicans about the limportan, k,..s
OF this campaign they meet our iryr.
ment with one answer and thatA4e,
full dinner pail. II we. ask the Rt,.s.
licans why for. three years and a hall
they have failed to give the labohr,
men protection from government By l..
junction. the only answer Is that IL
laboring man has full dinner p.l
and he ought not to object to govra-
ment by injunction IL the dinner pail
full. s.--li.
THE dinner pail argument Is an ID.
suit to the workingman and the dinner
pail argument Will not last through
this campaign for when the Republican
party assumes that all that laboEiss
man needs Is the full dinner pail, he
assumes that the laboring man Is al
stomach.
y The Animal Complains.
THE full dinner pail Is satistactOrts
the stomach. but my friends, 1t Is ;a
animal and not the man that complai-s
only when 1t is hungry and goes TO sleP
when It is full. l want to appeal %
something in the laboring man bes4
his appetite. l want to ask the labo:.
ing man II he is content to live and de
with nothing more than full d!rIsf
pail. Mayor Jones. OF Toledo. well d.
scribed 1t when he said that the latorsi
always had full dinner pail In slareo
days. that the slave had plenty 10 al
because he could not work II he did ~.
have plenty TO eat. He said that ihs
slave owner had selfish interest In ~.
Ing to the slave Il full dinner pail ana
plenty to eat and wear. but. my irien'A
man Is OF n threshold nature. He Eos
only has his body, but he has his bralas
and he has hts heart also. and the ias@.
Ing man needs more than three meas
day. He wants shortened hours Of y.
Dor to enable him to give some time "
his family and TO intellectual deSeHP'
ment.
What has the Republican party dong
to shorten the hours OF toll? When u:
elght-hour law went before the Sena.
the Republican senate did not have tak
to pass II, but the Republican sen;t
had plenty Of time to pass hnant,A.
bill,that gave TO the national banks us
control OF the paper money OF the eoIH.
try. F.
Nothing to Protect Laboring NAL
THE Republican party has had piens
of time to lcgislate when It wanted y"
legislate. but where is the bill that p',
tects the laborlng man from the fear :"
the Injunction?
I'VE ask for the election OF senators
by the people. You will not set any is
medal legislation until your bill pass pas.
the senate rs well as the house. w
der the present method OF clectins Ss
ators. the corporations have more i M,
ence in the selection OF n senator .nc,
they should have. and the common 'na.
the ordinary voter, has less .A''ae"''
than he should have. ~, IA.
I'VE want an income tax. me ~
publican party Is not willins ina.
should have an income tax which WOLF o1ISi
give to the lnborlng man some .es
from the burden OF taxation. We
lieve that man should contribute
the support OF his government on. w.. %
Republican party. puts the sifash 4, ", nv.
and makes men pay u VI,
portion to what they want instead .. .
IN what they have.
