HON. DAVID q. HILL.
SPEAKS TO A LARGE CROWD AT
RICHMOND.
Oy Telegraph to Virglnlnn Pllot.l

(l3y Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
Richmond, Va, Oct, 2.-Although the
weather here tonight was intensely
disagreeable and n cold, drizzllng rain
was falling, n large crowd assembled
at the Reservoir Park Casino, a mile
from the city to hear Hon. David B.
Flll of New York, speak.
Mr., Hill was introduced in a few an
proprlate words by State Democratic
Chairman j.. Taylor Ellyson, and was
accorded an enthusiastic reception, Mr..
Hills speech was largely confined to
constitutional argument against Impe-
rialism He hardly touched upon the
financial issue. He said that as Impe-
riaiism was the paramount issue 1t
was natural and proper that he should
confine his address to that issue.
THE DRIED SCOTT DECISION.
He stood squarely on the bred Scott
decision, under which, he argued, the
Constitution applied to everything we
held. He denied that this feature of the
decision had been, either formally or
informally reversed, and claimed that
1t brought the territories and our new
possessions under the Constitution. He
distinctly and vigorously antagonized
the proposition that antl-slavery
Judges had delivered opinions that con-
travened or dissented from the cardi-
nal doctrine laid down by Chief Justice
laney as 10 the relations OF the Con-
stitution to annexed territory,
BRYAN'S WISDOM.
Mr.. Hill declared that it was right
that Bryan was given the Democratic
nomination, and held that in his public
career for four years the nominee had
not said foolish thing.
HE BROUGHT GOOD CHEER.
In conclusion, the speaker said that
he brought good cheer from the Empire
that the nRnn1P thara fall
ing into line; that the Democrats We're
working night and day; that nothing
honorable would be left undone in orr
der to gain Democratic victory, and
that the Democrats expected to carry
the State for William ], Bryan.

brief stay here, left late Tonight for

Bay State Democrats to-day.
The platform adopted declares the
dominant question to be the continu-

why is 1t that the Republican party
allows the trust to grow9 Because the
Republican party Is more interested in
of the country than in those who are
contributing to the large dividends col
lected by the trusts. Why does the
Republican party want large army?
They want 1t at home to suppress by
force the discomfort, which should be
cured by legislation, and they want 1t
abroad in order to exploit the Philip
pine Islands, and IL you will look up
the record you will find that the Re-
publican member OF the Congress who
stands at the army committee of the
House is the president of the Philip
pine Lumber and Development Conn
pany, and they have already gobbled
up a lot of lumber lands and taken
control of the Improvement in the Phil
ippine Islands. In their prospectus
they say the labor question is easily
solved. There is plenty Of Chinese
labor BY reading their prospectus
you can see why 1t is that some people
want q large army and Imperialism
and while IL is q good thing for those
doing the developing, 1t Is bad thing
for the people who furnish sons for the
army and the people who pay the
taxes

Mr.. Bryan discussed at Wausaca the
efforts to secure legislation of the con-
troll of the trusts. He asserted that
Republicans had not really desired at
the last session of Congress to secure
antitrust legislation. but had only
brought IN their bill for oonstitu-
tIonaf amendment towards the close of
the session and after frittering away
their real opportunity. The Democrats

The rise OF cotton TO 1-2. the highest

Washington, March 2.-Within two
hours after a special message from the
President recommending the immediate
passage OF q bill to place In his hands all
the money collected upon Puerto Rican
goods since the Spanish evacuation Of
the island, to be used for the relief of
the Puerto Ricans, had been rsad to the
House today, the House had passed and
sent to the Senate bill to carry out the
recommendation. The message came like
Q bolt out Of clear sky to the minority.
They were at first inclined to hail II
with delight rs . reproof Of the majority
for the passage of the Puerto Rican tariff
bill on Wednesday. The Republican lead
ers, however, had bill ready to carry
the Presidents recommendations into
effect. Mr.. Cannon asked immediate
consideration for the bill and this was
given. Ii was only when the debate
opened, 1t having been agreed that 20
minutes should lie allowed on a side. that
under the lead Of Mr.. Bailey Of Texas.
the Democrats began lining up against
the bill becaus, it placed no limitation on
the Presidents discretion In the use OF
the money. The Till was passed by
vote of 16a to l07, Is Democrats, Q Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans voting
with the Req uplicsns in the affirmative.
A special message from the President
was read. recommending that all the reve-
nue. collected on importations from
Puerto Rico since the evacuation Of the
island by Spain amounting to over q.

sharply. The suddenness Of the request
spread CONSERVATION on the Democratic
side, There was no time for consulta-
ton. Mr.. Richardson stood hesitsting q
moment. "Better do 1t at once" said
Mr.. Cannon, "before you change your
mind" This raised q laugh. Mr.. Rich
ardson said he would not object, but
wanted to know how much time would
be allowed for debate.

would be no dictate. The bill contained
nm exceedingly plain proposition and
needed no explanation. He finally sug-
gestsd 20 minutes on a side. To this Mr..
