addressing meetings at Stamford and New
Haven, and then hurried back to New
York to address a public meeting in Jer-
sey City tonight.
Tomorrow he will go to Harrisburg,
Pa where he will meet the Democratic

He insisted on going into one of the or
binary coaches, declining a seat in the
parlor car saying that his ride would be

stamford. Conn, Jan. 4-Wiliam j.
Bryan arrived here at 1856 o'clock. A big
crowd had assembled on the depot plat
form and at the town hall where Mr..
Bryan spoke to over thousand people,
many of them working men.
Within ten minutes after he stepped off
the train Mr. Bryan had opened a speech
hour and barely left time for the party to
take luncheon.
The speech was about equally divided
between the currency question, the trusts
and imperialism.
81 believe" said Mr.. Bryan, that the
tendency of the Republican party is to
oxalt wealth and to debase common hui
manity. The dollar is plainly stamped
upon the Republican policy and there is
no policy of the Republicans to-day that
does not bear that stamp
He went on 90 say that the Republican
party is not applying to-day the principle
enunciated in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
That principle applied to taxation would
mean that every man would bear his just
share of the burden of taxation, but now
an unjust proportion Of that burden is
placed upon the poor
The Money Question.
The Republican party is trying to
stem upon the country a system of tax
alon made by financiers for their own
nefit When the doctrine of favoritism
once started it cannot be stayed To
asten upon the country the gold standard
means that it will be affected by every
change in Europe"
Mr.. Bryan explained his plan for the
regulation of trusts under a law of the
general government. He asserted that
The Republican party had no desire to kill
the trusts, which were the hens that laid
the golden eggs for that party.
Mr.. Bryan questioned the right of the
government to rule the Philippines by
force, and said the title 1t obtained to
the islands was title to the land, not to
the people.
Welcomed at New Haven.
New Haven. Conn, Jan. 24.-William ].
Bryan arrived in New Haven at 2:15 p.
m, and was driven to the City Hall,
where a reception was held. After a
brief rest Mr. Bryan repaired to Music
Hall where fully 1900 people awaited his
coming. Several hundred more crowded
into the aisles after ne arrived.
His entrance was the signal for a Wild
ly enthusiastic demonstration. Men and
women rose to their feet and cheered
themselves hoarse.
Mr.. Bryan bowed his thanks. He plung
ed Immediately into a discussion of the
three great leading questions of the day
namely trusts, imperialism and money"
Which of them is paramount depends upon
tne point of view of the individual, and.
he said, personally, 1 do not care to
specify"
He believed that to assert that the
money question as a political issue is
lead is folly, for the reason that it vitally
concerns all men, and because they are
thinking of it, no matter what their sta
ton ID life.
The Republican party" he said, "is
afraid to kill trusts because they consti
