LA CROSSE, Wis, Oct 2.-When Mr.
Bryan concluded his last speech here to-
night he had made eighteen addresses and
had covered about fifteen hours during the
DAY. Beginning at o'clock in the morn
ing he talked at intervals until IL o'clock
tonight, putting in, all told. fully six solid
hours of speechmaking. The first speech
was made at Shakopee. and after that ap-
pearance he spoke in succession at the
following places: Jordan. Belle Plaine,
Henderson, Leseur. st. Peter. Mankato.
GAINESVILLE. Wazeka, Owatonna, Dodge
Center, Kasson, Rochester, st. Charles,
Winona. and three speeches here to-nighti
Most of the talks were comparatively
brief, not running over ten minutes. but
at st. Peter, Mankato, Rochester. Winona
and at this point he spoke at greater
length. Almost all the meetings along the
line were held in the immediate vicinity
of the railroad stopping places, thus saw
ing much of Mr.. Bryans time and giving
the people more time to listen to his re-
marks. The region traversed to-day is
rich agricultural section, and Mr.. Bry-
ans remarks were addressed especially to
farmers. the trust question receiving
The audiences were large as a rule. He
was met at the depot here by quite large
concourse of people, but by no organiza-
ton. He did not arrive until almost half
past o'clock, and he was driven rapidly
to the rink, where he made his first speech
here. He then spoke at Germania Hall
and the opera house. All three of these
buildings were filled.
Shakopee, the first STOP was reached at
8 o'clock. There Mr.. Bryan said the Re-
publican party has allowed the trusts to
grow, and 1T cannot insist on the discus
sion of the old questions and the ignoring
of the trusts, with which everybody has
become acquainted, because of the effect
of the trusts upon them. You have had
your experience" he said, now we want
to show you that the experience will not
only continue, but it will grow worse. un-
less you remove the cause. We believed In
1896 the Republican party was giving too
much attention to the dollars and too little
to the man. We felt sure that we were
right; that if this was poison in the blood
it would continue to break out. If there
is poison in the blood. on the body will
appear boil, and the wise man will take
something for the blood. but the foolish
man will have more boils. You have had
the trust boil, military boil, and now
a colonial boil is appearing"
CHARGE AGAINST HULL.
Mr.. Bryan charged the Republican chair
man of the House military committee with
being at the head of a syndicate which al
ready controls a large amount of Philip
pine timber and mineral land
At Belle Plaine he talked in the usual
strain about trusts. militarism and i'm
perialism. At Henderson, speaking of the
rise in the price of salt. Mr.. Bryan said
that he had heard Republican say the
increase was inappreciable, because he
could not eat barrel of salt in a lifetime
Mr.. Bryan claimed this reasoning was
fallacious. One might as well say he
could not eat suit of clothes.
At Mankato Mr.. Bryan spoke for ten
minutes. He declared the country's pros
perity was fictitious. He referred again to
the ice trust saying it was the only trust
that Republicans know about, notwith-
standing its operations were confined to
New York. while the other trusts reach out
al, over the country. He again suggested
that the Republican Governor of New
York should be at home looking after the
trusts in his State. instead of travelling
over the country campaigning. Speaking OF
the Philippine question Mr.. Bryan re-
peated that he willing to assume all
the responsibility for the ratification of the
treaty, but not for the treaty itself.
At Owatonna, Mr.. Bryan, in discussing
dairy interests. said: 81 have been inter-
ested to find out what oleomargarine con-
tains BY analysis 1 found that II contains
"a per cent. of neutral lard, 20 per cent of
oleo oil, per cent. of salt and less than 2
per cent. of butter: and i could not help
feeling that there was some similarity be-
tween the Republican policies and this
oleomargarine. Instead of containing "a
rer cent. of neutral oil. the Republican
policies contain about "a per cent of un-
certainty Instead OF containing 2s per cent
of oleo oil, they contain about 2s per cent
OF Standard oil. Instead of containing Z
Der cent of salt they contain little larger
percentage of the salt trust. and instead
Of containing 2 per cent. of butter. they
contain less than per cent. of those
American principles that have been revered
in this country for more than hundred
years.
Speaking at Rochester. Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred at some length to the foreign born
citizens. making an especial appeal TO
them in aid of his anti-imperial and anti
military crusade. Speaking to the farmers
he said: "The Republican party to-day is
putting upon the great producing masses
burdens that they ought not to bear and
are relieving organized wealth from bur-
dens which they ought TO bear"
At winona. Mr.. Bryan said II the Re-
publicans had behaved themselves they
could have had the financial question ia
the paramount issue. but by their miscon-
