The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1900-10-19

sands of men and women of
Greater New York participated
was given to William Jennings
Bryan today when he came to the
metropolis.
Ali the demonstrations as he
raced across the State during the
morning paled when compared
with the sumptuOus entertain
ment and hearty greeting given
him here.
Thousands met him at the
Grand Central Station; thou
sands more cheered and applaud
ed him on his way to the hotel,
and at night, when he made
three speeches, his audiences
were limited only by the walls
of Madison Square Garden, Tam
many Hall and Cooper Union.
1t was a magnificent tribute to
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and Tammany Hall
saw the passing of the midnight
hour with feeling of pride in its
work.
Following are several of the
most telling portions of his
speech:
s'To say that the people gath
cred here who support our cause
are the enemies of honest wealth
is a SANDER, which could not be
uttered without the one who ut
tered it knew it to be false. We
are not opposed to that wealth
which comes as reward of hon
est toll and is enjoyed by those
who give to society something in
return for that which society
bestOwS upon them.
Colonel Bryan went on to say
that the party draws the line be.
tween honest wealth and preda-
tory wealth, "between that
wealth which is just compensa-
ton for services rendered and
that wealth which simply meas
ures the advantages which some
citizen has taken over many cit
liens" He declared that no
honest industry, no honest Occu-
patton, no honest man need fear
for the success of the Democratic
party.
The Democratic party shows
its honesty by stating what it
believes and telling the people
what it will do. Compare our
platform with the Republican
platform, and any candid man
must say that through our plat
form runs the evidence of SINGER
ity and through the Republican
platform runs the evidence of ny
pocrisy.
Our platform deals with the
conditions now before the country,
and when we present an indict.
ment we present remedy.
The Republican party spends
its time congratulating itself
upon the existence of things
which it did not cause and shirk-
ing responsibility for things
which it has done.
The Republicans have no plan
to destroy the trusts. We have.
We say, put on the free list every
trust made article in order that
a trust can no longer hide behind
a tariff Jaw, and plumber people
at home with high prices while it
sells abroad in competition with
the world. But am not willing
merely to stop extortion. To my
mind the greatest objection to
the trusts, is not that is raises
prices-that is wrong but there
is something worse.
My greatest objection to the
trusts is that the trust is closing
the door of opportunity against
our young men and condemning
the boys of this nation to perpet.
ual clerkships. Today we are
approaching a period of indus
trial despotism, where a few men
will control each great branch O.
industry, where every person who
buys finished products will buy
at the trust price, where every
person who furnishes raw mater
ial will furnish it at the trus
price, and where every man who
; works for wages will work for the
wages fixed by the trust.
And when that condition il
complete-and the Republican
party not only does not stop it
but encourages it-when tina
condition is complete, then hun
dreds of thousands of labOrins
men instead of addressing theil
appeal to the Almighty, will have
to pray to the trust magnates
"Give us this day our daily
bread"
