Would you haT ar boy 90 into a

Will you have him become a LAWYER?
Why, the lLw business is gravitating
toward the offices of the large cOrpora-

are clerks IN their Offices. What do

Mr.. Bryan then took up the ques-
tons pertaining to the increase Of the
army and the acquisition of Pacific
ocean territory.
The women applauded the speech
free-y.
Cheered at Canton.
AT Canton a goodIy crowd was at the
Station TO meet Mr. Bryan. He was re-
ceiVed with cheers and made a five minute
speech. He said;
You are so accustomed here to seeing
presidential candidates that another can
didate IS no curiosity suppose some of
you in 1886 voted for your home candidate
as a matter Of local pride. but now you
can say that Canton is the home of

serves a second term you can reply that
one term is enough * a president does
well, and too much where he does not do
well. You have here in your city a can

as "A trophy of the war. 1t was custom
in earlier days for cannon to bear mottOes

Mars Ultima ratio regium, which means
that war is the last reason OF kings.
Charles Sumner in his Grafton on the true
character of nations. delivered at Boston
July 4, 1874 referred to this motto and
said: Let it be no reason of this re-
public
'I hope that you will not, merely from
the possession of that cannon, be led to
II
1t ought TO be further away from a re-
public even than from a monarchy, be
cause If a monarchy the government rests
upon force and has frequent occasion to
resort to force A king is not always re-
strained by those considerations which
would restrain the peopl& of a republic.
In country like this, where Justice is
the rule between this government ana
oJher governments as well as between the
people, there ought to be less necessity
for war. In fact, believe that if this
nation viii stand upon its rights and be
as careful to respect the rights OF other
people as it is to defend its own, there
would be little use for war. If this nation
viii obey the commandment Thou shalt
not steal il will have little difficulty in
enforcing that commandment in those
places where this nation is a protector

Republicans Ape Europe.
That is our theory and we feel that
1t is a significant fact that the Repub-
EUROPEAN doctrine that you must own

at the same time that it plants itself upon
the European colonial idea. You will
probably find IN your town a few people
who will support the Republican, idea of
the colonial policy, but I suggest that

him to show his sincerity by sendine a
petition to the president asking him to

At Mineral Point there was also brief I

Trusts and Patents.
At New Philadelphia Mr.. Bryan decIar-
ed that the Republican party trying |

II the Democratic party was going to |
destroy the patent law Continuing, he |
said:
NO honest man would make such a de- /
Tense as that because nobody will believe /
that when we denOunce private monOpO-
lies like the sugar trust and the oil trust \
we mean to destroy the patent law.
What is the difference between pat-
ent monopoly and the monopolies that we /
are after2 A man who gets a patent gets
il because he gives TO the world a new
idea and the government protects him in /
the enjoyment of the profits of that idea |
for fixed time.
But the trust magnate gfves to the
world no new idea. ne simply employs
an old idea. and you viii find it in the |
Bible that the love of money is the root
of all evil He applies that to the trust
question, that is no new idea The man
who gives you a new idea and gets a
patent upon If gives something that is a
blessing for the race"
How Bryan Made His Money.
Referring to personal references to him
self, Mr. Bryan said he was not as rich as
he had been represented to be, and he eX-
planned how he had accumulated the prop
erty he has. since 1895, by saving:
I made part OF it out Of a book which
I-Ob0dy bought unless he wanted the book: !
