The latest andr most interesting meeting
| or the series thatshas been held at Ken
slngton during sthe campaign took place
last evening. Mr.. Henry E. Davis was the
speaker. He tohched only upon two sub
INSTRUMENTATION and trusts from a con-
stitutional standpoint. He traced every ac-
QUESTION of property and sovereignty by
the United States and showed that not one
OF the acts We're done under the Constitu-
ton nor with the consent of the governed
All territorial additions save the Philip
pines were the work of democrats. All
were met with violent opposition, which
vanished>as their great benefit became ap-
parent, just as the opposition today would
melt when our policy in the Philippines
became fixed fact. Mr.. Davis ridicued
Bryan's Idea of protectorate, and asked
where In the Constitution could be found
authority for such visionary scheme.
How could sensible mind maintain that
we should allow the people of those Islands
to form any sort of government they chose,
while we, having voice in their a4ialrS,
should cry to the world hands OFF, Unless
1t was done by megaphone it would require
that large standing army against which
Bryan declaims so glbly, and in which he
sees menace to the American people. AS
to trusts, Mr.. Davis sal. he had no words
for their defense. They were born of mans
greed, and unless checked would gather to
themselves the profits of every form OF In
dustry. He quoted the Sherman law and
the decisions of the Supreme Court under
that law to show that everything the
United States had the power to do under
the Constitution had already been done by
the republican party. But two courses re-
malned-an amendment to the CONSTITUTION
which now prohibits Congress from inter-
fering with the productive and manufactur-
Ing interests in any state, or the regula-
ton of trusts by the states themselves.
The democratic party had voted solldly
against a constitutional amendment and
had thereby taken the question out Of the
national politics. Mr.. Bryan as a lawyer
knew this, and his appeal to the passions
of the unlearned was simply designed to
catch votes by means of array1ng the dls-
contented, the unsuccessful, the incompe-
tent and the poor against the successful
and the rich. Bryan was trying to draw
