Outha
Mr Bryans speech at Armourdale
was addressed entirely TO the labor ele-
meuL OF which his audience was COM
posed. he said In part.
III we talk TO the Republicans about
the important issues Of this campaign
they meet our argument with one an
gWgr. and that Is the fun dinner pail
II We ask the Republicans why for
three and a half years they have failed
20 give TO the laboring man protection
from government by injunction the on
y answer Is that the laboring man has
full dinner pail and he ought not to
object 10 government by injunction IL
the dinner pail Is full.
The full dinner pail Is satisfactory

h50uug man II he Is content TO live |
and die with nothing more than a full |

well described Il when he said that the |
laborar always had a full dinner pail |
in slavery days. that the slave had |
plenty 20 eat because he could not work |

said that the slave-owner had "A sel-

Man Is OF a three-fold nature. He
not only has his body but he has his
brain and he has his heart also, and
the labOrlng man needs more than three
meals a day. He needs shortened
hours OF labor TO enable him TO give
some time TO his family and 20 intel
ltc,ual development
what has the Republican party done
90 shorten the hours OF toll? When the
e.ght-hour law went before the Senate
the Republican Senate did not have
time 10 pass Il but the Republican SEN
ate had plenty Of time 10 pass a flnan-
cIal bill that gave the national banks
the control Of the paper money Of the
country
The Republican party has had plen-
~ NJ time 10 le-islate when IL wanted
20 legislate. but where Is the bill that
protects the laboring man from the fear
Of the Injunction? We are opposed TO
government by injunction.
In our platform We ask for labor
bureau with a cabin.t officer at It's
head What does the Republican party
ask for2 Why. a department Of COM
merce and industry.
We also ask for the election OF sena-
tors by the people You cannot get am
remedial legislation until your bin
passes the Senate as well as the House.
Under the present method Of electlng
senator's the corporations have more
Influence I'm the selection OF a senator
han they should have, and the common
man. the ordinary voter has less inilu- (
lnce than he should have.
We want an income tax The Re !
publican party is not willing that We /
should have an income tax. which /
would give 10 the laborlng man some !
.ehef from the burden OF taxation. I
You lab0ring men ought 10 consider [
