Albany, N Y, Oct. 17.-WiIiam Jen-
nings Bryan rode around two sides of a
triangle today from Hudson to Albany
| inclusive. and probably spoke to as cos
mOpOlitan d lot of people as he has ad-
| dressed during the campaign. At Hud-
/ son he spoke to a gathering of business
people of all classes: at Troy to the
capacity of an opera house and at an
| overflow meeting of collar factory and
| laundry employees; at AIechanicsville
to railroad people; at CohOes to the
mass Of en3Ioyees Of the cotton and
wooden mills, and at Albany 10 two i'm
mense meetings, one in the opera house
and one outside, composed of the more
aristOcratic element of the city. The
great meetings OF this trip We're held
at Troy, the home of ex-senator Muir
! ply, and Albany. the home of eX-Sen-
| atOr Hin. Mr.. Hill is absent in the
west At both Troy and Albany the
! meetings were phenCmenally large and
enthusiastic. immense CveTfiOWs having
to be held to accommodate those who
| desired TO see or hear Mr. Bryan.
Mexico VS.. India
Mr.. Bryan today alluded to many
things which he has not MENTIONED at
many other places digging the cam
/ paign- At Hudson he said:
Il believe that Mexico is far better
off because We took our nag down from
the capital when the Mexican war was
over, and brought IL back to the Rio
| Grande- I think Mexico is better to-
day and we are better than if we had
held a carpetbag government in place
there by means of bayOnets, and I think
that self-gOvernment in Mexico. half
Spanish and half Indian, has developed
the people more and has brought them
further than would have been the case
had We held them under our domain;
and if you doubt il, look at Mexico and
compare Mexico with India. Under
thirty years Of government Mexico
has made more progress than India has
made in 150 years, oppressed by an
AngIO-Saxon sOldiery. They only have
100, o0o English in India out of 3BO,OUO,-
600, and 1t takes an army OF 4O.eOe Brit
ish soldiers to take care OF the British
population, and it takes a native army
of 100000 to help the British army OF
&c, 900 in its work of protection"
As to Cuisines Principles"
At Alb ny ;f-. Bryan's voice showed
palpablv sig wear. He said, IN
part:
I remember IN 1896 your state Re
publican convention adopted PLATFORM
something like this We demand that
this government shall be conducted by
business men on business principles
and in the interests Of the country, or
words to that effect But the trouble
is that the men who talk that way 50
limit the definition of a business man
that very few are included Is far
mer a business man? Well, think not
He does work That is all he does He
commences in the morning and WORKS
all day: commences in the spring ana
works all summer. and if, at the end OF
the summer. he is able to show enough
as the result of his labor TO reallze q
small percentage on the investment ne
thinks he is doing we'll But ne IS no
business man Who iS2 The man VINO
goes on to the board Of trade at III
O'Clock in the morning and makes more
before noon betting on the price OF
what the farmer raises than the Iar-
mer can make raising it

No. He simply converts raw material
into finished products he IS not 4
business man. Who is2 The man who

muscle or his brain adds 70 the great
ness. the wealth or the glory OF IhlS
nation is a business man, and DelleEe
election day is the most important DuS-
mess day Of all the year.
THE Republican party goes on ne
theory that society is built from the
TOP. They say take care of the WeIl-Jo-
do and they viii take care Of those VINO
are not well-tO-dO. and when you tel
them Of the story Of Lazarus and DIVES
they say -
What a lucky man Lazarus was 70

Cause of Prosperity.
"A man in YOUR state in 1896 said that
the prOSoerity of the labOr.ng man ana
the farmer depended upon the prOSperl-
ty of the banker and the business man
He got il lust reversed me prosperity
of the business man depends upon the
nrosDeriry of the farmer and the labor
ing man. for until wealth IS produced
there is no wealth to exchange anu
vet the Republicans, If they DulIL a
house as they built society, would DuIIu
the roof first and then hang the mousse
to the roof. They go on the theory thdl
a man who has a place to work ought
70 he under some obligation 70 his en-
pIoyer No man employs another unIeSS
the man employed can make enough ~
nav his own wages and a profit DeSlOes
10 the man who employs him Ana yet
when election day comes the employer
sometimes thinks that the man VINO
works for him sells his cltlzenSnlp
when he sells his labor And OIIen the
man. If II is right for an employer %
vote the vote Of his employee, then l
insist that the law should be changed
so as TO give every employer as many
votes as he has employees
LAS it now is. they sometimes seI
awav. and if the vote belongs 10 the
citizen and not to the employer, then
every citizen who prizes his ballot anu
appreciates the responsibility OF GU
zenship should speak out against the
intimidation that is often pracuced
aeainst those who are in the employ
of others. -,.7=
Speaking of the claim of the Repuoh-
cans that our presence IN the PnlHp-
pines was due to destiny, Mr. Bryan
said: -
Destiny is the subterfuge OF the me
briate. It is the towards excuse LOT
Failing in with that which he has not
the strength to resist $4,000
Mr.. Bryan referred to Mr. Hanna
speech Yesterday in which he said Ine
1eo1,Ia oIIpht not to swap horses IN
crossing a stream, and said:
MIR Hanna is mistaken. The Repuo-
Iican party is not crossing a stream
b11f an ocean It is going back 70 Eu-
ropean ideas, and you had best swap
