! Mr.. Bryan went on to say that the
I party draws the line between honest
/ wealth and predatory wealth, between
/ that wealth which is a just cOmpensa-
/ ton for services rendered and that
/ wealth which simply measures the ad-
/ Vantages which some citizen has taken
/ over many citizens
| He declared that no honest industry,
no honest occupation, no honest man
/ need fear the success of the Democratic
/ party The Democratic party, he said,
! showed its honesty by stating what
1t believed and telling the people what
it will do
REPUBLICAN ICON. GAME"
Taking up the Republican declara-
ton of principles, Mr.. Bryan said that
make a fight on a question before the
country. And" he continued IF
you want proof let me remind you that
the Republican party today, instead of
presenting any great principle and de-
tending 1t, Is presenting an appeal to
every class of people supposed to be
apprOachable in any direction
He then went on TO enumerate the
various classes TO which he said the
Republicans were making Specious ap-
farmer, the labOrer, etc. TT gives the
laborer,'' he said, 1.-The assurance he
VIII have full dinner pail, and then
1t assures them there will be a large
army to make him satisfied with his
full dinner pail"
He declared that the prosperity of
which the Republican party boasts is a
different thing in different localities
In the east, he said, they tell you how
prosperous the farmer of the west is
hear n OF
wages and general employment of the
laboringmen throughout the east
Referring further to the Republican
claim of prosperity, Mr. Bryan said he
was willing to admit that the army
contractors and the trust magnates
might be prosperous "A man who
gets special privileges at the hands of
the government can prosper under Re
publican administration" he said, but
L deny that the wealth producers of the
country are enjoying their share of the
governments productions"
At this point there were cries of
Hanna. Hanna!" Mr.. Bryan merely
responded by asking his audience not
to trifle with great name.
HANNA AND TRUSTS.
He referred to the position of Cover
nor Roosevelt and Senator Hanna on
the subject of trusts, and the reference
in both instances was met with groans
and Kisses Mr. Hanna says there are
no trusts" Mr. Bryan went on. Are
you going to send a man out to hunt
the trusts who knows where every
trust treasurer is, but says there are
no trustS?''
Mr.. Bryan then quoted from Presi-
dent Mckinley'S inaugural address on
the subject of trusts, and charged that
the president had neither enforced the
existing antitrust laws nor recon-
mended new ones His attorney gen
eral, he said, draws his salary and per
mits the trusts to go and Cypress the
people Mr.. Bryan referred to the ice
trust, declaring that apparently this
was the only trust of which the Re
publicans had any knowledge.
IF a Republican tells you he said
that the ice trust is hurting the peo-
pie. tell him that you have so much
confidence in the Republican governor
that you know he would not be out
west making speeches if the people
were suffering from the ice trust
This remark was received with /
cheers
DESPOTISM.
Mr.. Bryan expressed the conviction =
that the country is approaching "a .
period OF industrial deSpotism, when a
few men Will control each great branch +;
OF industry, when every person who
buys finished products will buy at a
trust price, when every person who fur /
niSheS raw material will furnish il al {
a trust price, and when every man /
VINO works for wages will work for the
wages fixed by the trust
such condition as this meant, he /
said, serfdom for the people for q gov {
ernmenr of the people, by the people ,
and for the people was impossible IN
der the regime Of the trusts
Mr.. Bryan said that he was not salts (
fed to prevent extortion, but that he
would make il impossible for n private !
monopoly to exist in the United States. /
He asserted that the policy of i'm /
PerialiSIn was the creation of the Re I
publican party. and added:
They want the splendCrs of empire
They want to hear the tramp OF armies:
they want the glory of crowning heroes /
returning home, their thanks and their /
plaudits. The Republicans want the
drum to beat; that it can be heard /.
around the world We want the light /
of liberty TO shine. so brightly here
that it viii be seem around the world
and everywhere inspire people
In substantiation of his assertion that
the Democrats Were not raising a /
scarecrow, Colonel Bryan referred to I
the Porto Rican legislation of the last
session of congress. He declared that
this legislation was based upon Eu-
ropean ideas and not upon American
According to that docu-
ment, he said, a president is bigger
than the constitution
And then Mr.. Bryan exclaimed: Be
ware, my friends. of a president when
