BRYAN SPEAKS IN INDI-
ANA.
He Keeps the Paramount Is.
sue to the Fore.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Sept. q
Hon. w. j. Bryan yesterday
made his second brief visit of the
campaign to Indiana. He ar
rived at this point a few minutes
past four o'clock yesterday after.
noon, speaking briefly at La
porte en- route and here more at
length. at Laporte he said in
part:
eff a Republican tells you that
it is a good thing TO have a little
standing army, you tell him that
until this campaign the Repub.
licans have always pointed to
the advantage of not having
large standing army.
eff any Republican attempts
to justify the Porto Rican policy,
you tell him that when we found
the people of Porto Rico they
had representatives in the Span.
ish Legislature and that we now
refuse to give them representa-
tives in our Legislatures"
The meeting at South Bend
was held upon the courthouse
grounds.
The speech was a general dis
cussiOn of the issues of the cam
paign, but especial attention was
given to the paramount issue.
This, he insisted, was the ques.
tion of Imperialism, and he like
wise insisted that the Republi.
cans were doing all they could
to evade this issue.
Mr.. Bryan declared that they
were doing all in their power to
convince the country that the fl.
nances were the principal ques-
ton at issue. This they were do
ing Notwithstanding their pre-.
yiOus declaration that silver is a
dead issue. He had himself pre-
dicted that they would find it a
very lively corpse, but he had
never dreamed of its being vivi-
fed as it had been by the Repub.
licans.
He said the Republicans who
had inveighed so much against
double standard in money are
trying to create a double stand
ard in government; they are con.
tending for Democracy here and
for a mild despotism in the isles
of the sea.
Mr.. Bryan defended his course
in advocating the ratification of
the peace treaty, saying that he
considered it preferable to have
the treaty ratified to having
another made by the same par
ties, believing it better to elimi.
nate Spain from the question en-.
tirely. He had at the same time
advocated the adoption :of the
Bacon resolution. Republicans
who had opposed that resolution
must take the responsibility for
all the bloOdshed in the Philip.
pines, for the loss of the 1000
Americans who had been killed
or died there.
If the President could haul
down the American flag in Cuba,
200 miles away, said Mr.. Bryan,
he certainly could haul it down
in the Philippines, 1000 miles
away. Furthermore, if the flag
could never be hauled down, how
was it to be gotten out of PekinH
If we became the owners of 1000.
600 Filipinos when we entered
Manila, we must have become
the owners of 400, 200, 600 Chi
nese when General Chaffee en-.
tered the Chinese capital.
"Republicans, you want the
flag to be feared" he said amid
cheers, "but l want it to be
loved"

IT is reported that some of the allied
troops in China, notably the Russians,
are acting like savages-killing, looting
and burning in every direction. Surely
this is a terrible blot upon civilization
and fine example to set a people who
have just been severely punished for
violating the moral code of interna-
tional ethics!

AGAINST BARBER'S BILL

I do not want you to be surprised at
me for writing to you because l know
that am not worthy of this undertake
ing, but Sir, it seems to me that I ought
to say something in regard to the act OF
the Legislature; think they have made
a blunder in regard to the BARRIERS in
in Iowa. Now Sir, want to say this;
it il scheme to create an Office for GER
tain men to get pay for nothing and it
will not be black man either, this leg
slatu re will give the designing BARRIERS
any thing they want, providing we pay
for it. To license all BARRIERS in Iowa
that's what have reference to is a
blunder for the legislature OF Iowa, al
though the BARRIERS of Iowa may have
ask for but not as general thing. l
understand some colored BARRIERS want
ed to pay licenses; 1 wonder why and to
whom. To a board that is appointed
by the State Examiner and that board
will surely be composed of all white
and no black men then will the colored
BARRIERS all over the State of Iowa tell

Why the. Leaves Torn.

The common and old-fashioned idea
Is that the tints of autumn foliage are
caused by frost. Stated briefly, the
causes are these: The green matter IN
the tissue of leaf Is composed of two
colors, red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the autumn and the
natural growth of the tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
leaf changes to red; under different
conditions it takes on a yellow or
brown tint-due to difference In COM
bination of the original constituents
of the green tissue, end to the vary
ing conditions of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that Is
damp and warm. This is the reason
that our American autumns are so
much more gorgeous than those Of
ENGLAND

/ PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

able Growth In Dixie.

Twenty Years Have hnown Rsmark.
able Growth In Dixie.
The industrial progress of the south
during the past twenty years has been
phenomenal. In. the past ten years the
production OF wheat has increased o.
per cent lib the south, and the number
Of hogs raised there during that period
has nearly doubled. Seventy-two vari-
cites OF field crops are now grown
where ther formerly was nothing but
cotton, and sixty-tive varieties OF vege-
tables, fruits a..i melons are raised IN
the south for markets in the north.
While five years ago the cotton mills
in the south consumed but720,000 bales
Of cotton, their consumption amounts
to nearly 100000 bales in the $50
mills, with 4,952.092 spindles and 1o4,-
446 looms. The number Of mills has
increased 206. and of spindles and
looms $40 per cent. The finest blankets
made in the country are now manu-
featured in North Carolina, where 1OA
wooden mills are in operation. The
finest grade of wool can be grown In
the south almost as cheaply as cotton.
Two decades ago the south produced
annually but 100000 tons Of bitumin-
Gus coal; that product has now passed
the 40,00O,000 mark. and Of the 47.oOo
square miles of coal fieldt in the south
only about 1000 are under develop
ment. While two decades ago less
than 100000 tons of iron were pro-
duced, the production has now grown
to 100000 tons of very superior ar
ticle. And the iron industry Of the
south is as yet in its infancy. There
are enormous iron ore deposits in Diff
ferent parts of that section OF the
country which have thus far not been
touched at all. This is but a short
summary Of the progress made In the
south during the past twenty years.
but it suffices to indicate the possibili-
ties of that part of the country and
what is in store for it in the future.
