M'KINLEY'S BOSS
 THROWS SOME MUD Calls MT. Bryan a Hypocrite and
 Other Bad Names. THERE ARE NO TRUSTS' Senator Hanna So Declares ina Speech Before Chicago Business Men
 His Speech Greeted With
 Cheers and Kisses
THERE ARE NO TRUSTS"

Chicago, September 18.-Senator Mark A. Hanna at noon today made an address to several thousand downtown business men and their employees at the rooms of the Commercial Mckinley Club. He said in part
 You will find my text in the letter of acceptance of that great apostle of free silver, William J. Bryan. It is his last card and he begins his interesting appeal to the people of the United States by tell ing what he knows about trusts. At the Kansas City convention there developed a wide difference of opinion in the Demo- cratic party as to what they should do and various pilgrims to Lincoln found MT. Bryan very uneasy, as well he might have been, since the narrow edge of one vote in the convention meant the saving of his pet hobby-free silver. But how has 1t been since that convention? In all his speeches during his campaign he has made only the barest references to free silver. But he took up another issue, one which he labored on in Washington to manufac- ture. He gave positive orders to certain members of Congress to vote to ratify the treaty with Spain and for no other reason than he might have an imaginary chance to attack the administration.
 Called hryan Q Hypocrite
 T wish I could have together on this platform William J. Bryan and Senator George F. Hoar that each might tell his reasons for opposing expension or imper- ialism.' Senator Hoar would convince you that he opposes it from conscientious mo- tves but Is on all other points a unit with the party from which he differs in that one respect, and that he Is a supporter of Will liam Mckinley. With these together would tear the mask off the face of that hypocrite, William J. Bryan. Cheers and nwA Ah< a-rn da tion of his convictions of right and the other on the f1imsy foundation of hypoc- risy. Bryan has been afraid to push the silver issue because he wants to carry New York and some other Eastern States. He tried imperialism and made from five to fifty speeches a day, his audiences growing less and less every day. It is his trump and last oard and we will hold him bow1 to that issue and on every side of 1t. If our great corporations of amalgamated capital are in the interests of the manu- facturer, then are not labor organizations In the interests of the workngman? I was the first man in Ohio to recognize organ tzed labor, In 1S71 and while that organiza- tion of bituminous coal miners existed we never had a strike. I believe in arbitration between labor and capital, and in 1897 when I stood before 7,500 men and women in Cincinnati told them that If they would prove to me that I had ever wronged any man working for me or urged the reduc- tion of his pay I would resign from the United States Senate next day and the of- fer still stands.
 T would like Mir. Bryan or any other Democrat to tell me what a trust Is. believe there is not a trust in the entire United States. There is a national law and in every State there is a law against trusts. They cannot exist, and every law against trusts, national or state has been the product of Republican lawmakers and the credit Is due the Republican party. have no objection to the Democrats op- posing trusts, but they have not got any patent on it. Bryan told what he would do If elected His first act would be to haul down the American flag in the Philip pines. (Cries of No, no).
 "Yes,I I'm All Right"
 'Well, that is what he says he would do if the American people would let him. Then he would establish stable govern ment,' probably with Aguinaldo at the head of it. Think of 1t. Pull down our flag remove our troops and leave there the brave dead and leave our boys in blue to the ten- der merices of Aguinaldo. Judging from
