he made speech of five minutes at
that place. He said in part:
Possibly ii is not necessary to speak
long on the trust question. for people
learn more by experience than they do
by speeches. and Il speech can only
point out the lessons of experience. 1t
used To be that if mill closed down
under the Democratic administration
every Republican paper and editor
pointed To the mill and 10 lis smoke
less chimneys as an evidence that
Democratic policies were destroying
the Industries of the country But now
when trust buys a plant and closes
II down no Republican says word
about 1t. You will find that the trust

INTERESTS OF SOLDIERS.
Dayton, o.. Oct. 1e-William j.
bryan addressed n large crowd this
afternoon upon the Dayton Fair
Grounds. Speaking of tho claim that
inc interests of the soldiers were safest
IN the care of the Republican party,
Mr. Bryan said
ihc soldier Is In more danger if his
interests are left to the men who
stand at the head of great monopolies
man he is II he leaves his interests to
nose VINO belong to the common pco-
iie, would 80 further than that. [
VIII say that the welfare of the Union
/ soldier and his pension are safer in the
hands of a Confederate soldier Than
III tne hands of great onopoly, for
tie confederate soldier knows some
lhihs about the sacrifices of war, While
the heads of syndicates only know war
as an opportunity for the accumulation
OF great fortunes out OF the peoples
suIerings. But the Republican insults
the soldier when he assumes that n
soidier mad no interest except In the
amount OF his monthly or quarterly
pension. The soldier is a citizen. He
was citizen during the war. when he
was willing to risk his life in his ma
tiun defense. If he was willing to
nHht TO have one republic instead of
two, he Will be willing to vote now to
Keep that one republic from becoming
an empire. IL he was willing to fight
IN order TO wipe out OF the Declara-
lion of Independence an cXceptionnl
clause that excluded the black man. he
VIII be willing to vote now to keep am
other exceptional clause from being put
INTO the Declaration excluding the
brown man. The soldier who did not
believe that the black man ought to be
sold for thousand dollars will not be
IN favor of buying F'iipinos in a job lot
al TWO dollars and half apiece"
