lion in his speech at Charleston. There
he said: p,,,,,;1o,,e e,,d
,hat . mack man should not sell for
.bousand dollars but now they Will .pty.s
brown men by the job lot for two dollars
and a half apiece. They SAID q genera
ton ago that the Declaration sol llluc-
nendence applied to a black man; now
they saw it does not apply to brown
man. Il cost us hundreds of thousands
of lives and hundreds OF millions OF money
to take out OF the Declaration OF l1lue-
pendencc the exception clause that &eH-z
cluded the black man. Now, Shall we wage
!, war OF conquest to write In the Declara-
ton of Independence another exception
clause excluding the brown man? NO; our

Let it not be backward from now on:
do not dare to deny to any people IN
foreign lands the right that you claim Tor
yourselves; for if you have a right 70
your government the Filipino has right
to his. and~if you deny him the right to
his own government you will not long
have a right to yours.
Mr.. Bryan also referred 10 the race IN
other speeches during the day:
QUOTED ROOSEVELT.
Tn his discussion at Huntington of the
question of government by lhJunctiol
Mr. Bryan quoted an extract from ah
article \. ritten for the Review of Reviews
by Governor Roosevelt. in September,
1os6 and continued:
you laboring men who are opposed to
government by Injunction can mere ma
out what opinion the Republican party
has of YOU as stated by the man who
now represents the Republican party as
its candidate"
Mr. Bryan then quoted Governor Roose-
welt as writing:
1.-THE men who object to what they style
government by injunction are, IS re-
CARDS the essential principles, IN nearly
sympathy with their remote skln-clao
ancestors. who lived in caves, fought enc
another with stone axes and ate the
mammoth and woolly rhinoceros.
Commenting on this Mr.. Bryan said: L
want to ask you whether you expect any
relief from government by injunction
from the people who say that any man
who opposes government by injunction
ought to be clasSed with the wooily
rhinoceros- The Democratic party is op-
party believes that the right of trial by
jury is a sacred thing, and that if you
can give it to the meanest thief and
blacklist murderer you ought 10 give 1t
THE OLD SOLDIER.
Mr.. Bryan spoke to congregation COM
posed largely of coal miners at the little
mountain town of Sewell. he told the
people there that the Democratic party
stood for the arbitration OF labor disputes
and for a representative of the labor in
trests in the Cabinet of the President.
When some one in the crowd asked him
elected, he replied he would appoint
Commissioner of Pensions who would be
more satisfactory TO the soldiers than the
present one.
After the train started to move in leav-
ing Sewell man in the outskirts of the
crowd. apparently very much in earnest,
demanded to know about Mr.. Bryans
attitude toward the ratification of the
faris peace treaty. Mr. Bryan had the
train stopped and made a full explana-
ton OF his action and position in that
matter.
When this explanation had been con-
cluded the same man asked about the
expenditure OF S2o00a,T3O in procuring
those islands. To this inquiry Mr.. Bryan
replied: If YOU had read an article that
| wrote about Il month before the treaty
hay,
could have got ii back from the Eillpinos
in return for Independence, but if YOU
did would rather consider ii a contlibu-
ton to liberty than as q part payment on
men and their lands.
When Mr.. Bryan concluded his reply
his interrogation pushed his way through
the crowd. and, coming up to the car
platform, offered his hand to the presi-
dental candidate. saying: 4 thought
that l had right, as an American citi-
zen, to ask that question.
Mr.. BRYAN said in response: "You GER
tainly did have, and am glad you
The questioner Joined in the cheers
which sent Mr.. Bryan on his way.
LEFT FOR MARYLAND
The meeting al Hinton was the last
of the day, and when it concluded Mr..
Bryan left for Washington en- route for
Maryland. to which State he will devote
tomorrow. Hinton is the home of State
Chairman A---er and the meeting here
was in all respects one of the best of the
day.
Mr.. BRYAN made Il general speech at
this point. When some one asked him
about the necessity for q large army in
this country, he said that if the Demo
cratic plans for the settlement of dis
putes by arbitration for, doing away with
The black list and for adjustment of
government by Injunction could be put
into execution there would be no neCes-
sity for q large army.
The crowd at Hinton was not cnly
large. but was nois!y demonstrative!
