ABOUT TRUSTS

There Are No
Trusts.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 19.-There
were three times as many people at the
baseball park this afternoon as could
hear Mr.. Bryan. Not only were the grand
stands and the hleachers crowded,
but the body Of the park was also well
filled. The ladies in the grand stand
waved small flags as Mr.. Bryan ap-
preached. He was seated in carriage
drawn by two cream white and two coal
black horses. At this point arrangement
for reaching the stand was the best yet
experienced by Mr.. Bryan, the way being
cut off by a wire fence. This saved much
of the usual crowding, and was a great
protection. MIR. Bryan was still hoarse,
but he spoke for an hour and a half.
He was introduced by Congressman
Cochran. Mr.. Bryan referred briefly to
the possibilities of the approaching cleo
ton. He said in part:
MR.. BRYAN's ADDRESS.
at have been over a large part Of the
country, and / have asked the people,, 90
YOU find any who were with US IN 1880
VINO are against us now?' There was one
exception; they told me that this was
young attorney who had been With US
in 1896, who is against US, and asked
them what had caused it. Well they
yaid. since 1896 he has become the at
lorney of several corporations, and he is
not his own master now"
He asserted that the Republican party
had kept none of its old time promises.
What did that party promise on the
money question In 1857 he asked, ana
answering: 1T promised to do what 1t
could to secure international blmetallsm
Has 1t secured international bimetalllsn!
Has it brought you the double standard?
Has it realized the hopes aroused by the
m n
that the Republican party wanted the
double standard and wanted other ma
tions to help get it? No; instead of
bringing you bimetallism, the Republican
party sent a commission to Europe and
while that commission was in Europe
the secretary of the treasury was doing
all he could to keep the commission from
doing anything in Europe. and when the
commission returned Senator Wolcott
made a speech in the senate in which
he complained that Mr.. Gage had inter-
fered with the work of the committee.
So you see the Republicans did not bring
you bfmetallSm. But now they want
you to believe that the gold standard is
good. If the gold standard is BLESSING
then the Republican party made a mis-
take in 1896 when it promised it would
try to get rid Of the blessing"
EFFECT OF TRUSTS.
In speaking of the trusts, Mr.. Bryan
said: Even the newspaper editors We're
compelled to write their editorials defend
ing the trusts on paper, the price OF
which has been raised by the trust
Mr. Bryan declared that the Republi-
cans were disposed to make a great deal
over rise in farm products and to give
very little attention to the prices of
what the farmer has to buy. If wheat
goes up, all attention is, he said, direct
ed to wheat, while if wheat goes down
and cattle go up attention is directed to
cattle and diverted from wheat. So
with potatoes When potatoes rise every
Republican orator in the country has his
pockets full of potatoes These orators
conveniently forget the fact that all
prices are fixed by the trusts and that
there is an advance in the price of every
thing the farmer has to buy.
Mr.. Bryan said that if God was respon-
sible for our position with the Filipinos
and commanded US to govern them, the
command should be evidenced either by
the Bible or by special dispensation. He
asserted that the Bible did not justify
our taking the Fifipinos, and said that
if there was a special dispensation he
would like to know to whom he revealed
his plans a voice answered: ASK
Hanna MY friend" replied Mr.. Bry-
an, that is undue familiarity with a
great name" and he went on with his
speech.
DOCTRINE OF FORCE.
Mr. Bryan drew a strong contrast be-
tween the doctrine of force and the doc
trlne OF love as q cOntrOIIlnS principle III
government. He said:
1.-The doctrine of force is as old as hui
man history. Cain was the first man to
put it into operation, and he wore the
brand of the murderer forever afterward.
You say you Viii control the FInp1noa.
You will consult them, and If they OBJ
ject, then there is nothing to do except
to shoot them. This is the doctrine Of
force 1t is 10 take property by force
and If the man who owns the property
does not like it. then kill him. Are you
1raf q ton c q II II
your party plants itself upon the ground
upon which monarchies and empires
rest?
Pursuing the same line Of presentation,
he said:
II believe this contest will determine
whether this nation shall stand before
the world as an exponent of the power
of force, or whether it will illustrate the
uplifting power Of the gospel of love, and
that It will determine whether we are
going to destroy people and Kill them end
conquer them and subJugate them and
hold before them the light of q holv
example and by ourselves draw men uD
to a high plane.
NATIONS GOOD NAME.
when I find a man whose reputation
is such that people trust his justice and
submit to his arbitration, I am reminded
Of the words Of Solomon. "A good name
is rather to be desired than great riches
and loving favor rather than silver and
gold. And SO believe this nation can
stand among the nations Of the world I

to US, not only for example, but for aid
In time of trouble. Plutarch said that
men entertainned three sentiments con-
cerning the Gods, that they fear them
for their strength, admired them fer their
wisdom, and loved them Tor their JUS JUS
tice. Republicans, do you want this ma
ton to be feared for It's strength? 7
want It to be loved for its Justice. I
want this nation to be the supreme moral
factor IN the worlds progress; I want
this nation to act as arbitrator of fhe
