This is the sixteenth anniversary of Mr..
Bryans marriage, and, by strange coinci-
dence, the twenty-first anniversary of Gov
ernor Lind's marriage. They celebrated
with a Poland water dinner.
At West Superior Mr.. Bryan began his
speech few minutes before o'clock, and
he spoke for half an hour to large audi
trust question. and he made especial refer
ence TO a combination of the -four inter-
ests. Mr.. Bryan also referred to speech
made by President Mckinley in 1894. in
which the President attacked the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Bryan quoted the follow
ing from tnat speech:
''They were the enemies of the trust when
they wanted the votes of the people in 1892,
and when they got the power to deal a
blow at the trusts, according to the testi-
mony of their own members, they became
the willing tools of the most gigantic trust
OF the country"
BLAMES THE PRESIDENT.
Remarxing upon this quotation Mr.. Bry-
an said: Mr.. Mckinley claims that the
Democrats did not destroy the trusts when
they had opportunity, and when he
complained you must believe he was hon.
est in his complaint. You cannot accuse
him of being hypocrite, and yet Mr. Nc
Kinley has been President for three and a
half years. and during that time more
trusts have been organized than In all the
previous history of the century, and he
hoe lI1u Of
convene and adjourn and did not recon-
tion of the trusts"
With reference to the army he said.
What domestic reason Is there for large
army? They want TO build fort near
every large city and have the army there
to suppress by force that discomfort that
ought to be cured by legislation. The la
boring men of this country ask for the de-
struction of government by injunction
The Republicans say on II: You cannot
have government by injunction, but we
can give you larger army to enfore gov
ernment by Injunction Under the pre-
text that want large army for for
eign use there are Republicans who want

minutes saying that the Republican party
had not only reached the point at which
they wanted not only to revise the Consti-

sc as to make one of them, Thou shalt not
steal on small scale" Instead of having
this, that Lincoln wanted, a government
of the people. for the people and by the
people, the Republicans would have it q
government of the syndicate, for the syn
dicates, by the syndicates.
AT Carleton he spoke for ten minutes
and went over the general ground of the
campaign. Mr.. Bryan said he was not
asking support Of those who expected TO
get something for nothing He did not
want the support of those who were look
ing for army contracts or who expected to
get life pensions for their sons. Not one
man in ten that he addressed. he said, was
really benefited by the Republican policy.
but that one was expecting to make the
campaign contributions and then get his
money out of the other nine.
At Hinckley Mr.. Bryan referred to the
Presidents letter of acceptance, saving
that the President had said II was a dan
gerous thing to attempt to protect the
Philippines from outside interference. Mr.
Bryan did not accept this view. and he
said the administration had not seemed TO
take this view of the Sulu archipelago
Under the treaty with the Sultan OF those
islands. he said. the President had agreed
to protect them. Now could 1t be more
dangerous to extend protection to the
Christian Filipinos than 1t was to afford
II to the Mohammedan Sulus?
MAKES A PROPHECY.
Mr.. Bryan at Pine City predicted that at
the coming election many Republicans
