THE DANGERS OF TRUSTS.
Continued from First Page.)

| If man says he loves God and hates
his neighbors. he is liar That is
| strong language, but l can't amend the
Bible My text is short, but my sermon
would be long, there are SO many robbins
their fellows. l plead for equal rights to
| all and special privileges to none.
In such a section as this Republicans
attempt to brighten the people by telling
them that the Democratic party is trying
to array one class against another. 1t is
not true. The Democratic party is trying
| to weld society together into harmonious
whole. The Democratic party is trying to
teach the interdependence of the classes.
1t is trying to bring people to love each
other by making them do justice unto each
other
Mr.. Bryan's train reached Dover at 12:45
and was met by crowd numbering 5000
The Dover Democratic Club with its visit
ors had one thousand men in line with
three bands. Mr.. Bryan was driven to the
fair grounds. where he addressed a crowd
of 15.0G0 people. Although this is a strong
Republican town his reception was very
gratifying. He talked for an hour in a
drizzling rain.
Mr.. Bryan said:
According to the Republicans my farm
Is not my only source of income They
say / am SO avariciOus that l will not
make a speech unless l am paid several
hundred dollars. They also say that
am SO ambitious that l would spend all
l have to be President.
"If you are interested in knowing the
facts. l can tell you that have been able
to make a living under a Democratic Al
ministration and under Republican Ad-
ministrations, and / think l shall be able
to make better living under a Republic
can Administration than most of the Re-
publicans would who will be responsible
for the Administration. But l want to
tell you that every dollar that l have
made in the last four years has been
made out of voluntary payment by peo-
pie for what they bought and wanted.
Il published a book and nobody bought
it unless he wanted to buy it. have writ
ten articles for the newspapers. Nobody
read them unless he wanted to. / have de-
livered lectures and nobody came unless
he wanted to come.
Every dollar that have made has been
made in that way. But IL l were the at
torney for trust and collected from a
people who paid involuntarily l would be
good man in the eyes Of the Republicans
| need not tell you that / receive no money
for campaign speeches II the people of
community pay any money when l have a
meeting it is to meet the expenses of the
b.
paid the expenses Of the train on which /
travel as it goes from town TO town.
IF any Republican complains of that
you tell him that a man who rides On
train must either get a pass over the
railroad or pay his fare, and would rath-
er the people would pay for the train and
leave me Independent than have the rail-
road company furnish 1t and then own me
after the election
Speaking of the standing army. Mr.. Bry-
an said:
Il believe that we can rely upon the
citizen soldier, that we do not need a
great standing army. Whenever this ma
ton begins to rely upon great standing
army it will neglect the volunteer. When
ever trust magnate has to choose be-
tween supporting a big army and paying
liberal pensions he will support the big
army and let the pensioner CO."
After en-minute meeting at Boonton
he train arrived at Paterson. The Pat
erson meeting was one of the biggest of
The campaign. There were more people out
20 welcome Mr.. Bryan than there have
been in any city in the country of the
same size thus far. II was raining and the
afternoon was dark and dismal. The meet
Ing was held on the square, in which a
fine new court house is being built.
From the Lackawanna station to the
Courthouse Square the carriages of the
Bryan party passed between solid rows of
people. The distance is fully mile There
were $4,000 people standing at the court
house, unmindful OF the drizzle and the
fog
There was no lack Of enthusiasm on that
account. The Deople who could not hear
cheered when those who could hear gave
the cue. and nearly everybody stood until
the speech was ended
