Large Army.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 4.-The ad-
| dress of w. J. Bryan was the great
feature of the closing session to-day of
the convention of the Democratic clubs
of America. Mr. Bryan reviewed the
issues of the campaign In considerable
detail
Speaking of trusts, he said: Mr..
Hanna says there are no trusts That
settles that question He ought to ask
hts wife. Every wife knows there are
trusts. Why Is II that no republican
knows anything about the Standard OIL
Trust or the Sugar Trust or the salt
trust or the cracker trust, or the win
dow glass trust, or the envelope trust.
or the writing paper trust, or the trust
In paper? Why don't they know about
these trusts7 rs II dishonesty or Is it
ignorance?
why is II that no republican speaks
out against any trust except the Ice
trust and why is II that the republicans
in charge DO not destroy that, so you
can believe Mr.. Hanna when he says
there are no trusts?"
Mr. Bryan then passed to rnilitarisn.
He said the republicans want to spend
more than half as much for military
establishment as we spend for the edu-
cation of all the children in the United
States. "There are two reaeons which
lead men in this country to want
large standing army One is a domes-
tic one; the other is connected with
our foreign affairs. What domestic
reason Is there for large army? Why
do they want II? SO that they can
build q fort near every large city and
use the army to suppress by force the
discomfort that ought to be cured by
remedial legislation.
"The labOring man asks for arpltra-
ton and gets q large army; he asks
for relief from government by inJunc-
tion and gets large army; he asks
protection from the blacklist and his
answer Is a large army; he asks for
shorter hours of labor in order that he
nav have more time with his family
an dior the development of his mind,
and his answer Is large army. He
asks for representation in the presi-
lent's cabinet in order that labor may
oe protected and his answer is large
army"
Mr.. Bryan said further that the re-
Jublicans use for a large standing
army Is that they want TO exploit the
Philippine Islands He charged, as
proof of this, that the Philippine Lur-
ser and Development company has At
ts head "a republican member of con-
,ress who is the chairman of the army
of the house Of representa-
ives, and the prospectus shows that al
eady valuable timber lands have been
and the prospectus also explains
hat the labor problem Is easily solved |
because there is q quantity of Chinese
abor there that can be employed at |
rom fifty to seventy-five cents a day |
n Mexican money. What do you want |
n army for? To hold the Philippines
while they are being developed by syn
icates headed by Republican politi-
ians7"
Mr.. Bryan then alluded to the claim
+ the republicans that he had helped
o rntify the treaty and, therefore,
hould now be silent. He ridiculed
his position and said that the Filipinos
re fighting for the same cause as the
one hundred years ago; the
Ioers and the Cubans
