REACHES a TUMULT
TSrongS Turn Out to Greet the Silver Leader as lie
Completes Tour of New Jersey.
nav Is Principally Devoted TO Discussion of the Trusts and
the Evils of MOnOpOljeS

! US IN 1885. for I have always contended
that a mans vote was his own and that
he had a right to do with 1t as he
J pleased; and l never doubted but that
( the great mass Of those who left us in
1896 left US because they honestly
! thought that my election would be
( harmful to the. country. L cannot de-
! spise the man who places his country
] above his party, even though | nay be
the lOsei by his act. But the principle
which runs through Republican policies
! has become apparent on these later
questions which have arisen. 1 con-
/ tended in 1886 that the Republican
/ party was giving too much Considera-
ton to wealth and too little to human
rights but since 1896 the Republican
( party has shown it's disregard of hu-
man rights in ways that we did not
/ dream of then"
! Mr.. Bryan denounced the trusts as
! industrial despOts.' and declared that
/ the Republican party was fostering
/ them. He did not believe there could
/ be good monopoly in private hands
until God sends angels to take charge
| of them, and he added: From our eX-
/ perience, we are inclined to think that
! the angels now in charge came not
( from above. but from below
Some one has said Mr.. Bryan con-
| tinued, that he did not object to the
bedbug SO much, but that he did OBJ
] Ject to the. way he made living. So
1 we OBJECT 10 the trusts.
| The comparison caused loud APP
| plause.
Mr.. Bryan predicted that if the re-
| cent increase of the army to 100000
men was endorsed by voting the Re
publican ticket next November, there
would continue to be increases until
the armed force would be sufficient to
COmplr Y awe the people.
Taxi up the question of the Philip
pines, Mr. Bryan gave what he said
was Republican speech in support of
the Republican policy. This presenta-
ton was as follows:
We are very sorry we have got
the Philippine islands; we did not in
tend to get them, but they were
thrown into our lap and it is our duty
to keep them. God commands it and it
will pay
Mr.. Bryan then related the Biblical
story of NabOth's vineyard. and said:
I wish on the Sunday before cleo
ton every preacher in the United
States would take as his text that story
of NabOth's vineyard, and | viii tell
you how they would treat it. Every
opponent of imperialism would con-
denim Ahab for wanting the vineyard,
and every imperialistic preacher would
condemn NabOth for not letting Ahab
have it."
Poor Pay for Wars.
At Morristown, speaking of the Boer
war, Mr.. Bryan said:
Some Englishman, in publishing a
tract against the BOer war. said that
the Boer war was being carried on to
secure possession of gold mines, and
then added that the poor man had
nothing in that war. There was no
profit to him and his only part was to
! die for the dividends of dives. You
will find that in wars of conquest and
in Imperialism the great mass of the
people are made to bear the load of
taxes. ard they furnish the sons that
die, but the profits are reaped by syn
dicates organized to develop the newly
acquired territory:
Mr. Bryan said that the money which
is expended in developing the Philip
pines is so much of our own resources
taken from this country, and that it
could be expended 10 better advantage
| in the United States than in those far
away islands.
The people of Orange turned out in
large numbers to greet Mr.. Bryan. He
spoke at that place for twenty-five
minutes, and his speech was literally
cheered. He discussed the trust Ques-
ton a Orange. and was led by a. queS-
ton as to the monopoly which a copy
right gives an author to define again,
as he has done in many of his speeches,
what he conceiVes to be the difference
| between the monopoly given by a pat
ent or a copyright and the monopoly
that IS based On suppression of the
natural laws of trade
Tumult of Cheers at Newark.
The scene when Mr.. Bryan entered
I the Kruger auditorium in Newark was
thrilling one. The big building was
crowded to its utmost capacity and
when the candidate entered all those
present began a tumultuOus shout All
carried small flags and waved them
vigorously. They did not cease this
/ demonstration until Mr.. Bryan arose
and raised his hand as a token that he
desired TO proceed. Then. as if by
magic the tumult ceased. and all listen
ed in silence, except for occasional
bursts of hearty applause.
Dealing with the necessity for sup
pressing private mcncpolies, Mr.. Bryan
repeated that his desire was to protect
future generations. saying:
Some one has said there are not
many generations between shirtsIeeyes
and shirtsleeves. My own father had
70 work his way up on the farm and
educate himself by his own labor. 1
was educated by my fathers money.
think 1 shall be able to educate my son.
but I cannot tell about my children s
children and l am not willing to have
! a government good only for bankers. or
good only for trust magnates. / want
a. government that will place a hope IN
every heart and make life worth living
for every citizen born into the world
Speaking of the size of the army Mr.
Bryan said that the Republican posi-
lfpu on lndL StDgecI roulO not De de-
Tended. He asserted that the chairman
% the congressional committee who
had forced through the house Of repre-
SentatiVeS the army bill. was at that
time president of the Philippine Lum-
Der & investment company, and that
company. Mr.. Bryan said. was adver-
Using cheap Chinese labor as an in
T duCemeHt To subscTibc for its stock.
Mr. Bryan closed his auditorium
speech with an appeal for fair treat
ment for the FilipinOs. When he fin
ished on the inside of the building he
found on the outside a congregation ten
lines as big as had listened to him
within the building He was compelled
10 make a speech there and after that
effort he proceeded to the baseball park
where he made the last address of the
night, closing shortly before midnight
