Mexico Il Better on.
Il believe that Mexico is far better of

the capital when the Mexican war was
over. and brought Il back to the Rio
Grande. / think Mexico Is better to-day.
and we are better than n we had held a
carpetbag government ia place there by
means Of bayonets. and ! think that SELF.
government IN Mexico. haif-spanish ana
alf-lndlan, has developed the pcopia
more and has brought them further than
would have been the case had we held
them under our dominion: ana n Won
doubt Il. look at Mexico ana compare
Mexico with India
Under thirty years Of self-government
Mexico has made more progress than In
ola has made Ia one hundred and fftv
Years oppressed by an Anglo-saxon sol
diery. They only have io006 English IN
india out OF 3900olOo0. and It takes an
army Of 1000 British soldiers TO take care
Of the British population. aud Il takes a
native army OF 10000 TO help the British
army Of 1000 In its work OF protection"
At Troy. he said:
Now Hamilton Party.
The Republican party has changed its
ideas and It's ideals IN the last quarter
Of a century. remember reading a letter
from Abraham Lincoln to the Republl-
cans OF Boston. who were celebrating JEFF
fcrson's birthday DO you remember
whether the Republicans Of this commun-
ify have celebrated Jererson's birthday
lately7 Have they had any banquets N
his honor under Republican auspices IN
recent years. / think not. not In any
rart Of the country. and yet my friends
IA 1885. when the Republican party was
organized. its platform appealed 20 all
those who wanted to carry the govern
ment back TO the principles OF Washing
ton and jefferson. To-day the principles
Of Washington and jefferson are apan-
doncd To-day the Republican party meets
to celebrate the birthday. not Of Jeffer-
son. but OF Hamilton. Jefferscn's great
political opponent"
MIIitarism at Cohoes.
At cohoes Mr. Bryan said;
1--WE will soon find the army here de-
mRndng the punishment OF an innocent
man. as the army IN France demanded
the punishment OF Dreyfus. a man so in
nocent that the President felt that he
must pardon him as soon as he was con-
vlctcd. because OF the outraged sense of
justice expressed throughout the world"
He paid a high tribute 10 Lafayette and
his service to the American colonies IN
their war for freedom. and spoke Of the
gift OF the Statue OF Liberty IN New York
harbor from tho people Of the French re-
public. and asked:
"shail we take that statue down and
send IL back TO France and tell the people
OF France that we are not IN the liberty
business any more? Shall We send over
10 England and get a statue of William
the Conqueror and place Il IN New York
harbor to indicate the change that has
taken place In our nations ideas?

In the street and thcater waiting. The
thcater was filled TO repletion. and a large

Bryan's attention. Mr.. Bryan's voice
showed palpable signs OF wear. He said,
In part
The Republican party goes on the the
ory that society IS built from the top.
They say. take care OF the well-to-do and
they will take care OF those
who are not well-to-do. ana
when YOU tell them OF the
story Of Lazarus and Dives. they say:
what lucky man Lazarus was 10 have
q Dives near. 50 he could get the crumbs
that fell from Dives table.
"A man IN your state In 1855. said that
the prosperity of the iaporing men and
me farmer depended upon the prosperity
IN the banker and the business man. He
,ot n lust reversed. The prosperity OF
~ business man depends upon the pros
perity OF the farmer and the laboring
man. Tor until wealth r. produced. there
