Anderson. Ind, Oct. 5.-The meeting
which closed here at 10 o'clock tonight
was the last of a series of remarkably
large political demonstrations made lin
connection with the appearance of Will
lam J. Bryan in Indiana. Mr.. Bryan left
indianapolis early this morning with the
intention of visiting during the day as
many places as possible in what is known
as the gas belt of the state, and in pur-
suance of that purpose he almost circled
the city. Of Indianapolis, visiting no fewer
than nine counties and making an even
dozen speeches. The speeches were made
in succession at Noblesville, Arcadia,
Upton, Elwood, Alexandra, Marion,
Hartford City, Muncie, Winchester, Rich
mOnd, Newcastle, and Anderson. A ma
jority of these places are important man
ufacmring centers and all the conmuni-
ties traversed are considered Republican
in politics They could not, however,
have given the Democratic candidate
more cordial reception than they extend
ed if the sentiment had been pronounced
ly for him.
At Upton Mr. Bryan was introduced by
Hon J. w. Kern, Democratic candidate
for governor Of the state, who presented
him as the next president" Mr.. Bryan
said in response: 81 am glad to be in
troduced 10 you by the next governor Of
Indiana for, whatever may become of my
chance In this race, I do not think there
IS much doubt about Indiana. Mr.. Kern
on1r hos fo fch wi I
have forty-four trusts"
Explaining the differences between ex-
pansion and Imperialism Mr.. Bryan said:
I'VE expand when we take in land for
settlement to be built up into states; we
expand when we take in people who want
to come in and whom we want We be-
lieve that expansion is like marriage;
both sides ought TO agree to it. We do
not believe in expansion carried on with
an army; we do not believe III bringing
people in by force and then denying them
the right of full citizenship. You will
hear Republicans say that the war with
the Filipinos is similar to the civil war.
There is this difference, that when the
south was held in the union they were
to be citizens and not subjects when the
war was over. You want to bring the
Filipinos in and make them subjects and
not citizens. We fought then for the
adoption of a constitutional amendment
that provided that no man could own a
slave, and yet before the Philippine war
is ended we have the ulu treaty which
recognizes slavery"
Elwood was the next stop. The audi
ence there covered an immense vacant
plat of ground near the railroad Mr.
Bryan gave practically all OF the thirty
minutes allotted to this place to the trust
question, declaring that no employer has
q right TO vote his men. He referred to
the visit of President Mckinley TO the
place when the tin plate works were
opened, saying: To-day the Republican
party FAUST meet its record on the trust
question, on the army question and on its
colonial policy. Whenever an institution
IS opened the Republicans make a great
day of it and invite distinguished people
from abroad to be present at the opening,
but when a trust closes a factory they
do not invite president or anybody else
to preside at the closing I find that the
tin plate trust has closed tin plate mills
all over the country. I find that these
trusts. organized to monopolize the trade
and control the market and fix the price
on raw material and finished product and
the price of labor, are today destroying
industrial independence and condemning
our children to perpetual clerkship under
monopoly. The Republican party is build
Ing up an industrial despotism that COM
pels millions Of people 10 get on their
knees in the morning and pray to the
trust, Give US this day our daily bread
l want TO ask you whether you believe 1t
is a good system"
Mr.. Bryan again referred to the closing
down Of part Of the works Of the
harbed wire and wire nail trust, as he
put t. until after election. and said:
What does it mean? 1t means intimida-
ton of the working man. 1t means that
The manufacturer when he has a monopoly
Will attempt to coerce his employees"
AT Alexandria. another manufacturing
town Mr.. Bryan also attacked the trusts
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking at Mar
ion some one in the audience asked in
regard to the North Carolina negro law.
Mr.. Bryan said: My friend. I am glad
that you asked that. I am prepared for
You. Now, I am going TO assume that
the Republican who asked that question
is an honest man. l am going to ask
him about the constitution of the Repub !
lican state of Oregon. 1 will read pro-
vision Of that constitution. 1t says:
Section S5-No free negro or mulatto
not residing in this state at the time Of
the adoption Of this constitution shan
come reside or be within this state. hold
any real estate or make any contract or
maintain any such therein. and. the legis- |
lafiNe assembly shall rrnNiSn IN. - ~ |
