mentS made last Saturday by Mr.. Bryan
when he was here. In the first place
Mr.. Bryan said that the argument of the
dinner pail was bad because it was not
full. Now don't know exactly how
full it Is but do know it is four times
a full as it was four years ago. Here
are the figures of the present year for
these works as compared with 1896:
The average monthly wages paid out are
a little over one hundred thousand dol
lars as against twenty-eight thousand
dollars That is an increase of 257 per
cent. The average number of engines
turned out is Is per month as against
eight. And the number of men at work
is 2, 100 as against 500. Mr.. Bryan said
if we were prosperous It was not due TO
us Well, I tell you one thing Mr.. Bryan
is not responsible for it
You bet your life he is not" shouted
one Of the griTny faced Workingmen.
The governor smiled and continued:
He said it was due to Providence.
Well, Providence helped us because 1t
helped to keep Mr.. Bryan out
Mr.. Bryan denounced imperialism.
One of the engines that you have there
for expectation is to go to Japan. If we
give up any effort to hold our own in the
east, then say goodbye to any chance of
extending our commerce and maintain
ing a market in the Asiatic hemisphere.
We are able to export our locomotives
and our goods because we are taking up
our position in the fore front of the ma
tions of the world Let me give you an
example: Eight years ago expansion
was not in our line and the French took
the island of Madagascar. You say that
was no concern of ours. Well. it was,
for the first thing that happened was
that the market we had there for II, 000,
600 yards of American cloth was closed
Immediately. If Mr.. Bryan has his way
and we retire from our possessions in

FIXED INDIANA.
Col. Bryan Says It is as Safe as
Missouri.

Chicago, Nov. 2-'eF'rom reports which
have come to me and from my own OBJ
servation am satisfied that Indiana is
as safely Democratic as is Missouri
Thus spoke William ]. Bryan as he
alighted from a Monon train at the
Dearborn station. He had just arrived
from tour of the state of Indiana, and
from a prolonged trip through various
states further to the eastward. He
added that the general outlook was en-
couraging, but did not go into details.
Mr.. BryanS itinerary yesterday COW
cred a number of points between Indian
apOliS and this city, all of them being
in the state of Indiana His car was
run out of Cincinnati early and he ar
rived at indianapolis at O'Clock. He
made no speech at the state capital, but
was Joined there by National Commit
teeman Taggart and other prominent
Indiana Democrats, who composed his
escort for the day. The stopping points
were Jamestown, Crawfordville, OAR
Monon, Ranssaeler, Lowell and Ham
mond.
Mr.. Bryan left the private car Ram
bier for good upon his arrival here. He
had occupied it for just five weeks and
had Travelled 1000 or 5000 miles in it.
Mr.. Bryan ran into a Republican
meeting at RansSaeler. When he arrived
at the meeting place there was a large
crowd there to greet him, and on the
outskirts of the crowd wers a number
of men on horseback and IL rough rider
uniforms. There were also many yell
low badges scattered through the crowd
and it was evident that there was a
good deal of Mckinley sentiment there.
Grasping the situation, Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am sorry that it has so happened
that my meeting comes on the same day
as the Republican meeting, but in ar
ranging this visit it was not possible to
make 1t on any other day, and am sure
that here we can meet together as mem
bers of different parties, and that there
need be no friction between those who
think as do and those who are opposed
