through the campaign. He continued on
this line as follows:
The president said ia his letter OF ac-
oeptar,e that the laboring man wants
snort day instead OF u short dollar.
wen, my friends, II had a blackooard
here l would write just tnree things on
H. would write first OF all that the
labor.ng man wants a snort day, then

p.auseJ
my friends II the republican party
wants To make its full dinner pail argu-
menl Lee IL go into the antnrIclts coal re-
gisns, where the operatives get lees than
500 IA year. ILls mornings paper, lnis
mornings republican paper, coneaIns the
statement tnat the wages paid 10 miners
viii n some instances average less tnan
$3.50 a year. Why, my i:iends, tnat Wlis
no. give the laborlng man one fuil dlnhsr
nail a day, and he ongnt to have three.
(Applause.) | am AFRAID that when the
republican party was not looking the ia
OF that dinner pail flew oil and some coal
got into the bucket and understood IL Is
coal that weighs nearly twice an muea
per ton as the law requires ana the re-
publican party when " goes to blow 1t out
will have to do It with powder that Is sold
to the miners at $2,io keg Wnsn u -
only worthy $l50."
sfter discussing imperialism, militarism,
trusts and Porto Rico, Mr. Bryan again
m de reference to an utterance OF the
pre- ident In the following language;
The president said in his letter Inc
other day that the only opposition ws
have had in the Philippines came from
part OF only one tribe. Well, my fFienus.
lndL is 100 llBu q compliment ~ ~ =
that one part Of thnt n-De. To say that
small fraction OF people ovsr tnciss
could keep in subsection all the rest OIL
the people and then keep an army oil Co.,
COO American soldiers at bay, too, Is say
ing TOO much. 1t reminds me very much
Ct The arguments that were made IN
England lust before the Boer war COM
menced do you know why they went; TO
war With the Beers? They SAID that
there were three times as many people
down there who ware not Beers AS there
were AZ the Beers, England's ostens'ble
reason for undertaking war with tho
Boer republic was 10 help three men TO
get their rights from one man. Well,
wondered at the time why the threa
would not take care OF themselves as
: against the one. But when the war COM
! mcnced We never head OF the three It
all. but we heard OF the one all the time
, monster night meeting was held ~
