HANNA DENOUNCES BRYAN

Senator NJ. A. Hanna delivered an ad-
dress to several thousand downtown busi-
ness men and their employees at the rooms
Of the Commercial Mckinley Club In Chi
cago yesterday afternoon He said in part:
You will find my text in the letter Of
acceptance Of that great apostle of free
silver. William Jennings Bryan. 1t il his
last card and he begins his interesting
appeal to the people Of the United States
by telling what he knows about trusts.
At the Kansas City convention there de-
veloped wide difference of opinion in
the democratic party to what they
should do or ought not to do. and various
pilgrims to Lincoln found Mr.. Bryan very
uneasy. as well he might have been. since
the narrow edge Of one vote In the con-
vention meant the saving of his pet hob
by-free silver. But how has 1t been since
that convention? In all his speeches dur
ing this campaign he has made only the
barest references to free silver. But he
took up another issue. one which he la
bored in Washington to manufacture. He
gave positive orders to certain members
of Congress to vote to ratify the treaty
with Spain, and for no other reason than
that he might have an imaginary chance
to attack the administration.
Il wish l could have together on this
platform William Jennings Bryan and
Senator George F. Hoar. that each might
or imperialism. Senator Hoar would con-
vince you that he opposes 1t from consci-
entiOus motives but Is all other points
a unit with the party from which he diff
fers In that one respect. and that he Is a
supporter Of William Mckinley.
Calls Bryan a HypOcrite.
with these two together 1 would tear the
mask off the face of that hypocrite, William
Jennings Bryan. Cheers and hisses) One
stands on the firm foundation Of his con-
victions Of right and the other on the
flimsy foundation Of hypocrisy. Bryan
has been afraid to push the silver issue
because he wants to carry New York and
some other eastern states. He tried i'm
perialism, and made from five to fifty
speeches a day, his audiences growing less
and less every day. 1t is his trump and
last card, and we will hold him down to
that issue and on every side OF Ii.
If our great corporations OF amalga-
mated capital are in the interests OF the
manufacturer, then are not labor organ
cations and combinations in the interests
Of the workingman? l was the frst man
in Ohio to recognize organized labor in
1871, and while that organization OF BIZ
luminous coal miners existed we never
had strike. l believe in arbitration be-
tween labor and capital, and in 1897. when
l stood before 800 men and women, in
Cincinnati 1 told them that IL they would
prove to me that had ever wronged any
ton of his pay l would resign from the
United States Senate the next day. and
the offer still stands.
II would like Mr. Bryan any other
democrat to tell me what a trust is. I
believe there is not trust in the entire
United States. There is a national law
and in every state there is a law against
trusts. They cannot exist, and every law
against trusts national or state has been
the product of republican lawmakers, and
| the credit is due to the republican party.
posing trusts. but they have not got any
patent on 1t. Bryan tells what he would
do If elected.
Would Haul Down the Flag.
''His first act would be to haul down the
American flag in the Philippines (Cries

he would do. but the American people
would not let him. Then he would estab-
lish a stable government, probably with
Aguinaldo at the head Of 1t. Think OF It'll
Pull down our flag, remove our troops
and leave the brave dead, our boys in blue,
to the tender mercies Of Aguinaldo! Judg-
ing from the past Aguinaldo would soon
shock humanity, and the nations would
interfere, as We did in Cuba. Bryan talks
of the Monroe doctrine, and advocates
protectorate in the Philippines. The Mon

it all over the world. II that is not i'm

Bryan is opposed to tariff as trust
creator, but the workingmen know that
the tariff is their protector. He tells IN
rosy pictures what he would do if elected.
and besides his pictures stands as some
thing monumental the work that Mckin-
lev has DONE Bryan will stand on any
platform they make for him, ride any hob
by, indorse any issue: yes, he Will even

for 1 talk about things l know all about
and don't lie, either. Cast your votes In
your own interests. and not in the inter-
ests of Mr. Bryan. The Importance of
this campaign is greater than any ever
before known in the country, because any
reversal of the policy OF the government
would bring about change in commercial!
interests which would dwarf the awful
storm at Galveston. 1t would mean COM
