AT Avon Mr. Bryan talked to the peo-
PIE on the Philippine question, and said
We should treat the Filipinos according TO
american principles.
There were short stops and brief rear
platform speeches at a number OF stations
along the line from Rochester TO Lockport.
These stops included Spencerport, Brock
port AT Speneerport Mr.. Bryan talked
Tor i've minutes. principally about trusts
and he promised that if elected he would
DO his best to suppress them.
R0ckpOrt greeted Mr.. Bryan enthusiastic
any and he remarked that he hoped the
enthusiasm would continue until election
cay, and that every man would vote just
his ballot.
SPEECH TO FARMERS.
At Holly he said the ballot was not given
TO the individual with the idea that he
should protect his own rights alone. but
With the idea that he should give the
Nation the benefit of his business judg-
ment and support. The numerous apple
orchards in the vicinity of Albion suggested
a text to Mr.. Bryan and referring to the
apple product. he said: Of Republicans
go into Kansas, where they have a large
wheat crop, they say: See how prosperous
the farmer is and how his land yields I'M
der a Republican adminiStra tion- IL they
go up into North Dakota, where there has
been short crop of wheat, and where
the short crop has raised the price, they
say to him: See the high price of wheat,
and L suppose they come into this town
and tell the farmers TO vote the Repub-
llcan ticket because of the high price of
apples In this part of the State. If they
eGlr for vote he Pom h
ticket when wheat goes up, when hogs go
up, or when anything goes up that he
raises, how can they explain why an apple
grower should vote the Republican ticket
when apples go down, and when they tell
you that you getting your share Of
the Nations prosperity want you 10 COM
pare the prosperity of the apple grower
with the prosperity of the trust magnate.
How many years do you think an apple
grower viii have to work in order to raise

have "A large fortune?
Mr.. Bryan devoted almost his entire
speech at Medina to the trust question
and his remarks were based largely on
the following statement prepared by
local authority: -Four years ago there
were three foundries at Medina under sep
arate management, each employing from
100 to 15e men. In July, 1899, these
three foundries entered the trust, the
a monopoly in the manufacture of
soil pipe in the United States. Soil pipe
was Immediately advanced to consumers
substantially 100 per cent. Very soon one
foundry was closed was left without
Waterman and has been burned. then a
second one was closed and has remained
so about year, and is not expected to
be run again; five months ago the third
was closed by the trust although 1t is now
claimed it will be reopened. The village
was booming and very prosperous when
the trust entered il. To-day the foundry
workers of these three foundres have

Commenting on this statement Mr.. Bryan
said: why need tell you people what a
trust means in town like this? Does not
the Standard Oil trust teach you the same
lesson? Does not the sugar trust teach you
the same lesson? Don't you learn it from a
hundred other trusts that plumber the peo-
PIE at every turn?"
Announcing himself as opposed TO all pri-
vate monopoly In a short speech at Middle
port, Mr.; Bryan said he had never faltered
in his belief that the people were the source
OF all power, and when I change my opin-
ion," ne said, instead of attempting to rob
the people OF this country OF their form of
government, l will go to a monarchical
government and make my home there
VOTERS SHOULD REGISTER.
Mr.. Bryan made the first of four even
ing speeches at Lockport, talking for about
thirty minutes. Before entering upon his
If any person in the crowd had failed to
register he should go Immediately after
the close of the meeting to attend to this
DUTY. In this connection he said: ''We
want every voter to vote this year, for a
vote this year may determine not only the
policy of this government, but it may by
its influence determine the policy of other
governments, for to-day we are fighting our
I.stff IL. It'll
on. We have government perfect in
theory; we have a government which can
be made as good as the people want ii, or
desire to have 1t, and If we can solve Alright
the problems that confront our civilization,
then example will be a help and in
spiration TO others But if we fail here
then our failure will bring despair to those
who are not situated as we are.
Mr.. Bryan again referred to Senator De-
pew. and repeating his former statement
that the senator received ten times as
much pay for his services as president of
a railroad company as he does as senator
of the United States. he said he had no
doubt that the senator gave ten times as
much attention to the railroads affairs
as he did 20 those of the Nation. Mr.. Bry-
an announced himself as favorable to both
an income tax and the election of senator's
by a direct vote of the people. He prom
ised that If he should be elected the voters
TO register the names of their choice for
senator upon their ballots. He closed with
appeal for justice to the Filipino.
Mr.. Bryan's Niagara Falls meeting was
cut short in order to give more time at Buff
falo. He spoke there in front of the Cata-
Tact House, and within sound of the great
falls. His meeting was OF good size and
appreciative. The speech dealt with all the
issues of the campaign. and especially with
the Philippines problem. He adjured his
listeners 10 bear in mind the golden rule in
dealing with the Philippines, and said that
the Republican party had not been able TO
Withstand temptation. Instead of putting
the islands behind them the Nazarine
had done when the world was offered Him,
that party had looked upon and longed for
the Filipinos. saying: They are a likely
lot of fellows, and We will give $3.50 apiece
for them"
Coming to Buffalo a brief stop was made
at Tonawanda, and this city was reached
at $50.
SPEECHES AT BUFFALO.
The reception in Buffalo was all that
Mr.. Bryan could have desired A dense
crowd of people filled the streets, and there
was an elaborate display of fireworks
from start to finish. In the open air meeting
at Broadway Market the speakers stand
surrounded with densely packed peo-
pie extending probably 200 to 800 feet in
every direction. Mr.. Bryan was in fine
voice, and the people were attentive, so
that almost all of them heard all that he
