Gov. Lind In all particulars. and demands
that the gross earnings tax on railroads be

BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Makes Speeches at Clarksburg, Par
kersburH and Wheeling.

William ]. Bryan made three speeches in
West Virginia yesterday-at Clarksburg in
the morning. Parkersburg in the afternoon
and Wheeling at night. His principal
speech was delivered at Parkersburs, and
in II he spoke at greater length than ever
before in defense of his course advocating
tn. ratification of the Spanish treaty.
Former United States Senator Johnson N.
Camden presided at the Parkersburg meet
ing. He had supported Palmer and Buck
ner four years ago. He is for Bryan this
year
Regarding his alleged influence in secur-
ing the ratification OF the peace treaty with
Spain Mr.. Bryan declared he would as
sume responsibility for the treaty II the
republicans would assume responsibility for
all that has happened in the Philippines
since its ratification. He however, auotei
from the speech of Senator Wellington. In
which the senator claimed that his vote
turned the scale in favor of the treaty in
the Senate and that he voted in favor of
thu treaty at the request of the President
IN his speech in Wheeling at night Mr.
Bryan devoted his remarks to the trusts
In reply to question from the crowd
Mr.. Bryan said as to what he would sug-
gesI remedy for the trusts: Il have
been arguing the trust question for years
ard / have given remedies. Eight years
ago introduced a bill in the national House
OF Representatives providing that whenever
1t was determined in court that trust
controlled the price of any article upon
which tariff was laid, that article should
CD Oh the free list. i not only want to
destroy the advantage which a trust can
set ure under legislation that Is given for
the purpose of protection, / want to go
further than that. want to destroy every
private monopoly in the United States.
II believe that 1T Is possible for Congress
to so legislate that every corporation doing
business outside of the state of its origin
can be prevented from becoming monop-
OIL, and the plan l suggested is this: Let
Congress provide that whenever any corr
pora ton organized in any state wants to
do business outside of the state. 1t must
60 to the federal government and get a
license which will enable 1t to do such out
side business. But 1T must do business In
every state according to the laws of the
state in which 1t does business.
90: do not want to take away from the
state any powers it now has. but / want
Congress to add remedy. Before this Ii
cense is given l want two conditions COM
piled with. First. 1 want the water to be
squeezed out of the stock of the corpora

capital. which is labor, the farmer cannot
water his capital. which Is the farm, and
/ do not believe that a corporation should
be permitted to water its stock and then to
collect the dividends upon its fictitious in
vestment. l want to squeeze the water out

terward. If you had such a law and such
a license, given on such conditions. l do
