veys the Monroe doctrine to Asiatic wa
| ters. Whoever heard of such thing
| The Monroe doctrine Is founded purely
and simply on the determination on tho
part of the government of the United
States that no foreign country should in
terfere In the western hemisphere. Mr.
Bryan would do what? Spread it all ovel
the world and we would stand behind and
defend it. What do you call that II it
| isn't Imperialism? As result OF that
procedure we would find ourselves in
volved in all kinds of foreign wars. "a
voice-That is right That is true-and
yet Mr.. Bryan Is foy peace. lie was for
pc,ce wien nc resigned from the army
and be has been Tor peace ever since.
am fer peace. I'm Il Quaker. ! am for
peace, but net peace Mt any price. l am
not for peace, and | know that the ma
jority of the people Of this country arc
not for peace, with that brigand Agui-
naldo as long is he is hiding in the bushes
and shooting down from ambush our boys
in blue. (Applause)
Bryan Switches Issues.
But Mr.. Bryan has alteady been driven
from his position on imperialism. He
knows now what many o. MS knew in the
beginning-that It was only one rooster
that he was going to put in the pit, and
he would fight it as long as he could.
Now lie has got his last gamecock. Trust,
and that goes into the pit for the next
thirty days, and the Republican party
will be prepared to meet him on all such
questions, and If | had the time and voice
I lilo 10 cnnnt. IN
every laborng man in the United States
upon that question; because in warning
the laboring people OF this country against
this huge monster, the trusts, in the same
breath he says that the Dingley bill is
the incubator of trusts.
Now, we are getting to know where we
stand with the laboring people when we
come to the tariff, and we won't allow
him to evade the issue that he has made
on the bald proposition that the protect
i've tariff principle goes hand in hand with
trusts. We keep the protective tariff
principle there and we will furnish our
own definition for trusts. ] say we are
at home on that proposition because we
have at the head of our national ticket
that great advocate of protection, Will
lam Mckinley; because in him We have
the best friend OF the United States; and
there isn't laboring man in the city of
Chicago, CT in the State of Illinois, or in
the United States, who knows anything
about public affairs, who knows anything
about the career OF President Mckinley |
that does not know from actual proof the |
fact that during his whole public life he |
is the only man that the workingmcn Of
this country always felt at liberty to call |
upon TO support their interests, and he !
never failed them. And he is just as |
much their friend to day as he was fifteen
years ago.
EIy&n aod tha La3oring Men.
And row let me ask what has w. j,
Bryan done for the workingmcn of this !;
a voice: Nothing" An !,
other voice: YES he charged us half
dollar to hear him talk.'D Not thing
Came near saying damn. Not thing.
His career IN public life is available &c
every man. His short service was mark
ID and made conspicuous by hiss opposi-
ion TO the tariff bill And what has he
lone since to show any particular inter
,st in the working people OF this country?
lie tells them what he would do. He is
prolific in promises, rosy In painting the
picture as to what would he The result of
his administration, but l charge you,
turn away from that picture
md look upon the other; and the other is
Mckinley.
Do not let ne take any promise from
my candidate OF any man whose whole
ecord has shown that his ovcrawing am
Jition is to be President of the United
States. He will ride any issue, he will
limb on to any platform that is made for
lin, he will preach any doctrine he will
even abuse me TO be President of the
United States.
