don't reach it,"
Colonel Bryan's speech abounded in
vitticisms. One which caused much
laughter was at the expense nf the trusts.
"There are two Ways republicans can

countries. Some fellow in the audience
said potatoes were at reasonable
price," and Bryan replied: ''If they are
up next year you will find every Repnb-

OF Republican prosperity.

the crowd in front of the speaker.

Definition OF Empire.
Lastly, Colonel Bryan treated the Phil

termed imperialism. In defining the
word empire he said % 600 soldiers were
sufficient for 70,000,000 people, but it
takes $4,000 to force government on

Brvan. EXPANSION does not change the
form OF government. The treaty with

salary and rec cgnizes slavery. Article

chase his freedom by working for IT,
