| Bryan and party spent half Il day here,
arriving here. during the night. from

1890 this morning. and left, at 1870, for
Columbia Wis He took breakfast
with Hon. a. F. Warden. chairman Of
the state central committee, and lunch
ed with Mayor Jones of this city.
Mr. Bryan's attention was. today
called 10 a statement alleged 70 have
been made by a Mr.. kingman, that he
received $4,000 fer insisting upon the
silver plank Of the Kansas City plat
form. He said:
1T is hardly worth while to deny
the charge of a man who hides behind
a woman whose name he will not give
out. but i'll order that the most I'M
scrupulous Republicans may have no
reason for repeating the charge. | will
say that it is absolutely false in every
particular. No one ever offered. prom
ised nr gave me that sum or any other
sum for urging that plank or any other
plank in the Kansas City platform or
any other platform"
Mr.. Bohmrich. who preceded Mr..
Bryan. spoke on the equalization Of
taxes and against an increase in the
army.
Mr.. Bryan also took up the question
of taxation. He said: Unjust taxa
ton simply transfers money from one
mans pocket to another's and is lar
ceny perpetrated by law
Mr. Bryan branched out into gen
cral discussion Of national taxes taking
n. n fha tariff He smoke
of the tax on binding twine. While
the increase amounts. he said, to only
half a cent an acre. the aggregate ben
eft to the manufacturers was notsless
than 500. 600 Mr.. Bryan said that the
time had come to take official steps to
prevent stealing. The same kind Of
striped clothing should be put upon
the big thieves as upon the little ones.
and if this We're done, he believed the
trusts and private monopolies would
soon be destroyed.
Defining the different kinds of trusts,
Mr. Bryan said that investigation
would develop that "a good trust" was
a trust which gives literally to the Re
publican campaign fund. while bad
trust is stingy. Speaking of putting
business men in office, he said that the
most of those who made this plea
wanted to exclude the most important
business men. They did not want the
producers Of wealth. but the traders in
the products of those who create
wealth.
MIR Hanna has told us" he said.
that there are no trusts. lie now
saws there is no such question as that
of Imperialism. Indeed, | am begin
ming to think that there is no question
except as to the election of the Repub-

Mr.. Bryan referred TO the Republic
car, plea. that jefferson had favored eX-
pansion. That. Mr.. Bryan said, was
true. jefferson had favored expansion
but not imperialism. The territory that
he had acquired had been converted in
to 10 states and its people had become
citizens. but, he said. the Republic
