remedy; they propose no relief. They
congratulate the country that things
are as they are. We demand REM
edy; we propose a remedy; we will ap-
ply remedy. If you believe me hon
est, believe me when I say that IL you
make me President every power of the
executive will be used to max it impos-
sibl for q private monopoly to live I'M
der the American flag.
I'VE propose first to put on the free
list every trust-made article, SO that
the corporations will not be tempted to
combine here to raise the price at
home. want to make it impossible
for private monopoly to live, and,
therefore. we propose that before any
corporation organized in any State
does business outside of the State IT
Shall take out license from the Fed
eral government. Before that license
is given we propose that the water
shall be squeezed out of the stock. and
that the corporation shall show that 1t
is not trying to monopolize any branch
of business.
why should you hesitate to shut a
corporation up in the State Of it's ORR
gin until it shows that it is going forth
on q peaceful mission, to present its
wares in competition with other wares,
and not to stand by the roadside as a
highwayman and eXtort from the pub
lie by means Of monopoly?
THE PEOPLE HAVE A REMEDY.
81 believe that this remedy will prove
effective. believe that IL applied 1t
would destroy every existing monop-
oily and prevent the creation or new
ones.
but, my friends, If you have q bet
ter remedy, will take your remedy.
All want is to rid this country of
this new system that is going to fasten
upon 1t O slavery, n bondage which is
as bad. if not worse. than political
bondage"
SECOND CHICAGO SPEECH.
At Muller Hall, on the North side,
MIR. Bryan said:
To-day no Republican speaker will
take the Presidents message of De-
cember 5th, 1898, asking for an army
OF hundred thousand men and at
tempt to defend it, yet a Republican
Congress voted to make the army Il
hundred thousand. 1t is only tempo
rarily increased now because the au-
thority authorizing it expires next
year; yet every man who votes to APP
prove of the course of the President
votes for an army of q hundred thou
sand men permanently. Every man
who votes the Republican ticket votes
for an imperial policy, and when l say
imperialism / mean imperialism: 1t is
not expansion. Jefferson was an eX
pansionist; Jefferson was not an inn
perialist. Jefferson took in men when
the people asked to come in and JEFF
ferson gave them the Constitution and
gave them the flag whenever they
sought the Constitution and the flag
for their protection The Republicans
say you cannot extend the Constitu-
ton beyond the United States. They
gay you can spread the President all
over the land. | tell you to beware of
n President who has outgrown the
Constitution, for when Il President is
bigger than the Constitution there is
no way of stopping him until it is all
President and no Constitution"
GREATER THAN MONEY CUES
TION.
when the Republicans tell you that
they want to discuss the money ques-
ton you tell them that there is a
greater question to be decided even
than the money question. Tell them
you can. settle the money question any
time, but you have got to settle your
form of government when 1t is attack
ed. II the Republican party wants to
discuss the money question they will
have an opportunity of doing so. In
1886 some of the Germans went away
on that question. but they have come
back to us. Is it strange that they
have come back and that they have
brought many with them who are will
ing to accept the Declaration of indie
pendence and the principles of self
government"
THE THIRD MEETING.
At Social Turn Hall Mr.. Bryan de-
voted the larger part of his speech to
the subject of Imperialism, and en-
phasized the right of every citizen to
have voice, through proper represen-
tation. in his government. During his
address he said:
II believe that when the questions
before the country are understood we
shall find an overwhelming majority in
favor of the Jeffersonian idea as
against the ideas of Alexander Hamll-
ton. In the days of Jefferson they uc-
cursed him of preaching a gospel OF
hate, but Jefferson preached the gospel
of love, just as Democrats to-day are
preaching a gospel of love. We are not
arraying one class against another
The Republicans would array the own
ers of trusts on one side and then
complain because all the people got on
the other side. / know my own neart
II is not to divide people, but to bring
them together. We build our faitn on
the theory that all men are brethren:
that men made in the image OF the
Creator have but one king, and that
king God. We know no king on earth
We know none born to rule. none born
to be ruled"
