A CIVIL WAR ooMrAR1soN

Discussing the Philippine ques
ton, Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Republicans tell as that the Phil
ipplne war is the same as was the
war between the States. A man
does not need to have much iDtelli-
gence to see the difference between
the principles involved. In the
Civil War the North was holding
the people of the South in the I'm,
ion, but the people were not to be
subjects; they were 10 be citizens.
They were not to be held in the
Union to be denied the privileges of
citizenship. They are today shar-
ing with the citizens of the North
in the citizenship of this Union, and
they are vying with the citizens of
the North to see which section can
add most to the grandeur and glory
OF this our common country. Zap
plause.

The Bryan meeting at Morgan's Grove
last Wednesday was big affair in every
PARTICULAR big crowd, and great big
speech, to be fraught, as we believe, with
big results. Ex-COngressman Turner,
formerly of New York, made a good
speech in the afternoon, after which Sen
ator Daniel, of Virginia. was called to
the front and reused the boys, especially
the old "Confeds, to high pitch of en-.
tiusiasm. On Thursday the Senator
spoke with his usual great ability for two.
lnd-a-half hours.

c Id, BIG CIR rs AND FAMINE.

The increased production of golc
has been a help. We wanted NOR,
gold and more silver. The quaint
tive theory of money has been estab
lished and the Republican party to
day does not dare to bras of an in
creased quantity of money and al
the same time say that the quaint
tive theory is incorrect.
1--WE get money because of large
crop in this country and a famine
in Europe. Did the Republican
party make a large crop in this
country? Did the Republican party
produce famine in Europe2 Ii not.
how can it claim credit for the n
creased volume of money?
eve have had a war ON hand. We
have been mortgaging the future
and spending the money of the pre-
sent. We have been putting some
money into circulation which was
stored in the vaults and it has been
helpful. Did the Republican party
bring on the war in order to in
crease the volume of money!
The war in the Philippines has
furnished some demand for money
and it has taken $4,000 men out OF
the labor market. The South Afri
can war has also helped some in
the matter of increasing prices BY
creating demand for goods. Did
the Republican party bring on the
war in South Afrlca3
"My friends, the Republicans can
not point to one thing that has been
done by their party to raise the
price of farm products, and yet,
without having any policy TO raise
the prices of what the farmer sells.
the Republican party does promote
the trusts and raises the prices OF
what the farmer buys And if the
Republican party can ralse the price
of what the farmer buys, then the
farmer suffers rather than gains b,
the Republican Administration =
The Republican party today has ar
rayed itself against every PROPOSE
ton of Importance for which it stood
&c years ago, except the tariff ques
ton"
