hind Democratic measure which made it only temporary increase"
 Mir. Bryan also discussed expansion, say ing, ill part
 The Republicans try to hide behind the term expansion. They do not defend inn perialism. They say they believe in ex- panslon, and they rob rne grave to get
 some dignity to lend to their cause. They try to make 1t appear that Jefferson would endorse a policy such aus the Republican party now stands for. Jefferson took in lands; the Republicans want to take in people. Jefferson took in territory that people could settle upon. The Re pubncans want to take in races for our army to fall upon. Jefferson brought in land out of which ten great States have been made, but no Republican expects 10 make State out of the Philippine islands. believe in expansion where expansion takes in land upon which American people can settle, land that can be built into States l believe in expansion when eX pansion brings us people who want to come in and whom We want, but l believe eX pansion ought to be alike satisfactory to both sides, and not d one-sided contract. l do not believe in bringing in people who are not to share in the destiny of the ton. l not willing that we should have half Republic and half Empire. You do not want the Filipino a ict.zen; you shall not have him as a subject If we can prevent it. If he stands under our flag he must be citizen subject and we want him as neither; and, therefore, we want him to stand under his own flag and have his own government and be his own mas ter, and work out his own destiny and his own salvation
 On the subject of the full dinner pail, Mir. Bryan said: If there Is al laboring man here, l beg him not to be deluded by the Republican arguments addressed to his stomach. The laborng man is not all appe- tite He has his head and he has heart and a full dinner pail is not all that he needs. Esau got full dinner pail, but he sold his birth right to get it, and the world has derlded him eyer since. They say that the laboring mans condition is not sat sfactory when his father must send out his boy and girl to help make a living for the family u.cn the children ought to be in school. Tel me that the laboring mans con- diton is satisfactory? My friends the labor ing m n ie not able to pay trust prices for what he buys and receive Republican wages for his work. and lay away money for a rainy day. The laboring man is not content to live from hand to mouth. He is not get ting his share of the wealth he creates. He is not receiving his share of protection from the government.
 ''The Republican party appeals to the farmer whenever anything goes up in price that the farmer raises. It appeals to the istoring man whenever 1t can find one em- ployed. And yet it never points to the sI7okeless chimneys and the deserted fac tories that have been closed down by the monopolies during the last three years, and then it turns to the soldier and tells him that he enjoys pension and therefore he must vote the Republican ticket. The sol ders' pension is safer in the hands of the common people of this country than in the hands of the magnates who stand at the head of monopoly. l will go further than that; I will venture the assert ion that sol- diers' pension is safer in the hands of Confederate soldier than In the hands of a trust magnate"
 At Sterling, where brief stop was made, MT Bryan was introduced to Captain Bates, said to be the largest man in America. Mir. Bryan responded to the introduction by saving to him: You are the only man in this crowd that can afford to adopt the theory that a big man can whip little man and then own him"
