M. A. Hanna at noon today made an
address to several thousand downtown
business men and their employees at the
rooms of the Commercial Mckinley
Club. He said in part:
Il would like Mr.. Bryan or any other
Democrat to tell me what a trust is,
believe there is not a trust in the
entire United States. There is a ma
tional law, and in every State a law,
against trusts, and every International
or State-has been the product of Re-
publican lawmakers, and the credit is
due to the Republican party. 1 have
no objection to Democrats opposing
trusts, but they have not got any pat
ent on it.
Bryan tells what he would do If
elected. His first act would be to haul
down the American flag in the Philip
pines. Well, that is what he says he
would do; but the American people
would not let him. Then he would eS-
tablish "a stable government probably
with Aguinaldo at the head of it. Think
of it, Pull down our flag, remove our
troops and leave the brave dead, our
boys in blue, to the tender mercies of
Aguinaldo. Judging from the past,
Aguinaldo would soon shock humanity,
and the nations would interfere, as we
did in Cuba
Bryan talks of the Monroe doctrine
and advocates protectorate in the
Philippines. The Monroe doctrine was
established for the western hemisphere,
but Bryan would spread it, all over the
world. If that Is not Imperialism, then
tell me what 1t Is. / am for peace, but
not for peace at any price, and not
while the brigand Aguinaldo is hanging
about in the bushes. shooting down our
soldiers. Bryan is opposed to tariff
as a trust creator, but the working
men know that the tariff is their pro-
tector. He draws US rosy pictures of
what he would do IL elected, and beside
his pictures stands the monumental
work that Mckinley has done. Bryan
will stand on any platform they make
for him, ride any hobby, indorse any
issue-yes, he will even abuse me-for
the sole purpose of being President
That is all he wants. Cheers and cries
of You are all right.)
BRYAN ON HANNA.
