Industry dominated by one slnah or ny Q
group of men? Suppose laborlng man
has spent ten, fifteen or twenty years
in acquiring skill III an occupation, IS IT
to have that mans Iabor hang upon
the decision of one man? What Will the
skilled laborer do if the terms PROVIDED
will submit to them under monopoly
Why? Because. there Is ne ethef en-
pleyer, and if he goes out from llat one
place, he has to commence l!fe over agaln
and all his experience Will be or no

manager is not willing to pay you eWhat
your services are worth you can go
to another manager and get what your
services are worth because composition

when YOU have but one manager you
have to take the terms he gives You

"Can any laboring man believe mo-
opely is a good thing?"
Referring to the plea that 1t is our
duty to remain in the Philippine island,
Mr.. Bryan said:
'The advantage of the argument Of
duty is that you do not have to defend
it You simply have to say it is your
duty and that avoids the necessity of
defense. They say it is our duty to stay
ther. I ask them why. They say If
we come away the Filipinos will Kill each
other, therefore we must kill them first
and take from them the awful responsi-
bility, of killing each other.
While Mr.. Brayn was speaking a rail-
road engine puffed along back of him.
compelling him to suspend his speech
for minute or two. He referred to the
circumstance, saying:
"It Is hard to speak out doors under
the most favorable circums tanees, and
] do not know of anything more unfavor-
able than TO have railroad against you
when you are speaking or when you are
running for office"
Mr.. Brayn was appiauded at the close.
BIRTHPLACE OF HAY.
Mr.. Brayn spoke from balcony in
trent Stanwix hall in Rome. Immediate
ly in front Of him were suspended large
Potraits Of the Democratic nominees on
the national ticket, while only a few
steps away the potraits of Mckinley ard
Roosevelt swung across the street His
audience at this place was large and at
tentive and the speech was punctuated
by frequent bursts of applause. Express
sing his pleasure at being in Rome. Mr..
Bryan said that the large attendance
could not be accounted for, upon the
ground of curiosity, because he had been
in this city before and the people had
had an opportunity to see and hear him.
Then he accused the Republicans of
avoidance of the real issues of the cam
paign and asked -
DO they not insult the intelligence of
American citizens when they ask their
votes and yet decline to outline what
they are going to do. Read the plat
form o? our party and compare it, with
the platform of the Republican party
and you will find the difference is that
the Democratic position is stated with
clearHess and without ambiguity which
admits of no misunderstanding. white
the Republican position is stated in gilt
tering generalities and spends more time
Dragging about thee conviction that the
Lord has sent the imperial reign that
the Republican party intends to bring
upon this country
II believe it was here that the first
American flag was raised I want You
to look at that flag. i want you to see
If you can find in that flag anything
that represents subject The white
stands for the purity of our nation
motives; the red stands for the blood
shed in the purchase of our liberty, and
the stars represent the states, and -ev-
cry territory sees in the future a star
of hope that is some day to find its
place in the constellation. But where in
that flag is anything a subject or
vassal can look to and love? I do not
want to change that flag would a.
thousand times rather haul it down and 4
let the Filipinos have their own flag than
