Staying the First-Ro1n.
At Wayland Mr.. Bryan discussed the
foreign policy of the government as ex-
emplified in our management of the
| Philippines. He condemned that policy
but said he had never lost hope.
when the children of Israel were
in bondage" he said, tit took them
seven years to secure their release, and
it was not secured until the Staying of
! the first born In our case L believe
that the Staying OF the first born is go
ing on in the Philippines. where our
boys are dying to purchase trade with
human blood, that Syndicates may ex-
plot the islands, and 1 believe that in
the Staying of The first born the eyes
of the people should be opened to the
iniquity of the Republican Party's poll
icieS."
During the brief stop at Livonia Mr..
Bryan referred to the fact that that
town is in the center of a butter produc-
ing community, and said that in recent
years the United States had been eX-
porting more oleomargarine than but
ter. He then used this statement as
the basis of an illustration, saying that
it was not in the matter of butter alone
that this country is resoFting to shams.
The American colonial policy was a
sham and an imitation of the
policy under which England had
held this country previous to the war
of the revolution.
The run from Bath to Rochester was
made in quick time in order to make
up for losses. One mile of il was COW
cred in forty-nine seconds.
Mentions Foundry Trust.
Mr.. Bryan devoted his entire speech
at Medina to the trust question, and
his remarks were based largely on the
following statement, prepared by a 10
cal authority: Years ago there were
three fOundries at Medina under sep
arate management, employing from
100 TO 150 men each. The fOundries
We're operated all through the hard
times previous 10 1895. One of the
foundry owners called his men together
and told them emphatically that il Mr.
Bryan was elected they need not come
back after election day as the foundry
would be closed. In July, 1899, these
three fOunCries entered the trust, the
Central Foundry company, which has a
monopoly in the manufacture of soil
pipe in the United States. Soil pipe
was immediately advanced to cOnSuH-
ers substantially 700 per cent. Very
soon one foundry was closed, was left
without d Waterman and has been
burned. Then a second one was closed
and has remained 50 about a year, and
IS not likely TO be run again. Five
months agO the third was CIOseC[tv the
trust, although it is now said il viii be
reopened- The village was booming
and very prosperous when the trust
entered it. Today the foundry workers
OF these three fOundries have either
gone TO other towns or are among the
farmers helping gather the apple crop
Continuing upon this statement, Mr..
Bryan said:
why need 1 tell you people what d
trust means III q Town IKE TAISL Inc
rise IN the cost of a product is one of
the natural things YOU would expect
but why did you have to wait for this
trust to close down three factories in
your town and raise the price of pipe
In order TO learn what the trust mea Mt ,

W hen he knows that under this admin
istration more trusts have been organ
lied than were organized in the previ-
Gus history of the cOuntry2 When ne
knows that the Republican party nei-
Their denouncea the trusts today nor
dares to defend the trusts; and when
you go to the head Of the Republican
committee he insults the intelligence
OF the American people by telling them
there are no trusts in the United
States"
