men. and they must get down on their
knees in the morning and say to him, give
US this day our daily bread. And then,
my friends, as election approaches. this
trust magnate can threaten to deny them
their liberties, he can threaten them with
idleness and starvation II they do not vote
the Republican ticket and continue a gov
eminent of the syndicate by the syndicate
and for the syndicate.
II believe that the trust Is indefensible
from moral standpoint, from an econom-
IL standpoint, from political standpoint,
and want you to study this trust question
between now and election, and if you make
up your minds that you want the trusts to
grow and increase In number and in lnfiu-
ence you can vote the Republican ticket
grow and multiply and increase. But If you
want the trusts to go. vote our ticket and
We will do the best we can to drive them

DERIDEs FULL DINNER PAIL.
At Mueller Hall, on the north side Of
the city. Mr.. Bryan said; 1.-THE Republic
ans have failed in their plan of campaign
The party emblem with which they started
out has been insufficient to stand the
strain, for it is the worst beaten and
battered and WORKOUT emblem that any
party ever had. Some one remarked the
other day that in slavery times every slave
had a full dinner pail l went to the peni-
Tertiary the other day and they told me
there that every man in the penitentiary
had a full dinner pail. The Bible tells us
that Esau had full dinner pail. but he
sold his birthright TO get it. 1t is an insult
to the laboring man to say that he has
neither head nor heart and has only one
desire namely, full meal The Republican
party has never assisted the laboring man
to get all that he needs. The laboring man
needs shorter hours that he may be with
his family more. He needs shorter hours
that he may have time to develop his mind.
What interest has the Republican party in
getting shorter hours or developing his
mind if he has no mind and is all appetite?
The Republican party stands for in
dustrial deSpotiSm. 1t stands for large
army and for an imperial policy. 1t dare
not defend its position on any OF these
questions. To-day no Republican speaker
will take the Presidents message of Dec.
D. 1885, asking for army of hundred
thousand men and attempt TO defend 1t; yet
Republican Congress voted 70 make the
army hundred thousand Senator Haw-
ley, in the Senate, reported a bill back from
the committee with the recommendation of
the Republicans of the committee that the
army be increased TO a hundred thousand.
Ii is only temporarily increased now be-
cause the authority authorizing it expires
next year; yet every man who votes to APP
prove of the course of the President votes
for an army of hundred thousand men
permanently. Every man who votes the
Republican ticket votes for an imperial pol
icy; and when | say Imperialism l mean i'm
perialism-it is not expansion. jefferson
was an expansionist; Jefferson was not an
| imperialist.'
EXPANSION AND MARRIAGE.
I'VE believe in expansion. Expansion
takes in land to be built into States. When
IL takes in people who want TO come IN
we take them in. Expansion is like mar
riage-it ought TO be satisfactory to both
sides; il ought not to be a one-sided affair.
The Republican party cannot show a title
to the Filipino. 1t dare not say that il
bought the Filipino at $3.50 head. The
Republican party does not dare to say that
we got them by force. The Republicans do
not know what to do with them. They kill
them and destroy them and they use the
trade argument Now, you cannot trade
with dead people. III they live under our
flag they must be citizens or subjects The
Republicans do not want them for citizens.
but they want them for subjects. if their
policy is carried out. We do not want them
as citizens. and we do not want them as
subjects, therefore we Go not want them
under our flag. Let them stand under
their own flag, let them have their own
government and work out their own des-
tiny while we protect them in so doing
At Lincoln Turner Hall Mr.. Bryan spoke
to an immense crowd He said: Il want
you to understand that a vote for the Re-
publican ticket in this campaign is vote
to nullify every vital principle in the Dec
laration of Independence. On the 14th day
of June 1898. within two months of the
battle of Manila. | had occasion to make
a speech, and | said that guns could
sink the Spanish fleet, but that our guns
could not destroy the eternal truth that
governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed. AT that time
there had been a good deal said TO me by
my friends TO the effect that had spoken
too soon. that / had spoken before i could
tell which way the tide OF public sentiment
was going, and that il was dangerous 10
do that IL man was i'm politics. My reply
was that when the Declaration OF indie
pendence was repealed | was out of poll
tics and IL would make no difference 20 me
which way public sentiment went. Since
then have seen the tendency toward i'm
perialism grow.
If you vote the Democratic ticket I will
promise you that. as far as a President can
do II. the world shall know that the Dec
laratlon OF Independence is still law in tho
United States, and when a people any
where are struggling for the right to gov
ern themselves this Nation will send out
its voice and say: God bless you, may you
win your fight until there is no fight until
there is no power I'm kings TO Cypress the
peoples OF the world
