ROUSED FROM SLEEP
TO MAKE A SPEECH.
Continued from Page I.

| DC made was that the Republican pol-
icy was reducing values. A private in
dividual could not put his money in
manufacturing enterprises for fear
that his concern would be sold to a
trust, and that he would be in a
! squeeze. He declared that 1t is his de-
| sire TO destroy all private monopoly
because he does not want to see the
doors of opportunity closed against the
boys OF the country. Give the boy a
chance he said. Give him an oppor-
tunity to exert his own industry and
his own ability and he will make his
own way, for we have the best boys
in the world
SPEECH AT CARTHAGE.
Carthage. ILL.,, Oct. 9.-In speaking
| here MIR. Bryan took cognizance of the
criticisms OF his personal participation
i'll the campaign, saying:
II have been criticised for going be-
fore the people, as Il Presidential can
didate, and discussing the questions be-
fore the people. According To my un-
dcratanding of politics. the citizen Is
the sovereign and the ofliccholdcr Is the
servant of the people, and the citizens
have Il right to know what the cnndi-
dates think of public questions. They
have q rIght TO come into contact With
their public officials, and tf n candidate
loses votes because the pccpIe pet ac-
quaintcd with him, lie ought NOT to
complain, foy 1T is better to find :,t,u
out before the election than afterwards,
it lie is bad.
FALL FROM LINCOLN TO HANNA.
The right to participate in govern
ment is one of the inaIienable rights,
a right that YOU Republicans recos-
nizcd when Lincoln was your leader
ard n right that you never rspudicfsd
until you fell from Lincoln down to
Hanna.
PROTEST AGAINST IMPERIALISM.
NJ you hear that 1 am in favor of
Imperialism just because 1t is a good
issue to get votes, l want you to re-
member that on the 14th OF June, 1899.
when your papers said everybody
wanted expansion l protested against
Imperialism. At that time Democratic
friends told me my course would be I'M
popular. but my answer was that when
| tho DECLARATION Of independence was
repealed ! would be out of politics,
and It did not make any particular diff
ference about The time of my going
out"
| MORE REPUBLICAN FALSEHOODS
Peoria. III. oct. ?.-Mr. Bryan took
occasion here to answer the charge
that h" is being paid for his speeches.
In part lie said
- am not rs rich man as you would
imagine from reading the Republican
papr;s und it di1icult to reconcile
their statements about my financial
condition. One time they say that 1
ann 50 ambitious that | would spend
all my money TO be President. and an
other that | am so aVaricious that |
VIII n"t make speech unless | am
pale for II. | notice n criticism in the
papers That the people of the towns
through which our train passes have
Contributed to the expenses of the
train. and II was suggested that was
for my benefit I need not tell you
that receive nothing for making
speeches. But. NV friends. / want you
10 know that when men ride on trains
they must either pay or else the rail-
road companies must furnish them
with free rides. We do not want
railroad TO carry our train free through
the state. end therefore the State
Committee PAID about $1,000 for the
train for yesterday and to-day. We
believe IL ia batter for people to pay
their way and "a he independent than
to have corporations run them after
election.
would great deal rather have Re-
| publican papers crticise me. because
people along the>road nav the expenses
OF the train than TO receive free rides
from the railroad companies and have
corporations run me If elected because
| they furnished the trains"
