]. Bryan made record breaking run from
Chicago to this city to-day NlnetS-st -A:
minutes after the candidate speclraa1 , ieA i,
Chicago. Colonel Bryan was bowling TO q
crowd which met him at the depot here.
At the National Park, he addressed a
large crowd. He said in opening:
The Republican party is prepared "
defend its position before the country
The leaders talk about the money ques-@
ton and yet they are no better aple "
defend the Republican position on the
money question than they are on on1er
questions. The only reason they prefer
to talk about the money question Is tnat
when they talk on that question they can
use old arguments, and when they talk on
the trusts and imperialism they cannot
use any arguments. Applause)
The Republican party had put itself on
record in the bi-metallic International
commission. and in the financial law as
in favor of both metals
He criticised the~Repnbiicans for not
standing fast on the money question and
added that Now the Republicans say the:
maintenance Of the gold standard is the
paramount question. If there is any man
here who believes that any financial sys-z
tenn is more important than the form Of
government under which he lives. then he
can agree with the Republican Party
THAT DINNER PAIL
IF a laborng man says that he does
he says that he does not like imperialism
what is the Republican party to him?
The ,full-dinner-pail argument is an insult
to the man who is complaining that there
are forces at work which mean his de-
struction and the overthrow of the Gov
eminent he loves. But the dinner pail is
not always full.
Mr.. Bryan cited number OF instances

added that even if the Republican party
was responsible for Everything that has
happened that gave any benefit for those
who worked for wages, the Republican
party had offset also the benefits that the
laboring man has received by allowing
trusts to eXtort from him when he comes
to buy what he has to buy. (Applause)
The wars for liberty have been fought
by men who would rather die for liberty
than live fat under slavery and bondage,
and, as Mayor Jones well said at Colum-
bus, the other day, The slave had plenty
to eat and to wear
1.-The slave always had a full dinner
pail. but under the industrial despOtism
that the Republican party is forcing on
the United States the men who own the
labor of the rest are not under any obli-s
cation to see that they have either food
or clothing.
The supreme questions" said Mr.
Bryan. "for this hour is whether the ma
ton shall enter upon the doctrine of
force and conquest, or stand upon Ameri-
can ground and recognize the right OF
these people to govern themselves, as
we'll as the right of our people to govern
themselves -
