FIRST SPEECH AT SOLWAY.
Auburn, n. Y, Oct 19.-Mr. Bryan's
first stop today was made at SolWay,
suburb of Syracuse, where he spoke
briefly to several hundred people con-
gregated at the railroad station He
great salt interests of this place than
to say that he did not know enough
about the local conditions to be able to
discuss the things that his auditors were
thinking about"
In connection with trusts he said: Il
do not believe that it is a good thing
for Ireland to have a few landlords and
the rest or the people tenants. Neither
do L believe it would be a good thing
in this country to have few men stand
ing at the head of great industries and
all the rest merely clerks under these
industries .
He again referred to the increase in
the size of the standing army, and said
that upon the present basis of 100000
soldiers the expense to the country
would be not less than $75, 900 900 year
for the military establishment or an av-
erage of one dollar for each Individual
or five dollars for each family.
Taking up the Philippine question. Mr.
Bryan said that the Republican party
was promising Ito be good to the Fill
pino. That" he said, is what every
king promises to his subjects On this
subject he further said:
When the Republicans tell you that
there is going to be great profit in
the exploitation of the Philippine islands,
you tell them that every dollar sent
country GxnlOif
pines will be taken out of the available
money of this country, for the estab
lishment of industries here, and every
time we send over and establish a big
plant there we make it less likely that a
big plant will be established here; and
II we allow these people to come over
here they will bring in their Oriental
manners and we will have the same
question on hand that we had in the
Chinese matter
REFERS TO COERCION
It was a large and enthusiastic crowd
that greeted Mr.. Bryan at Seward park, !
where he devoted most of his time to the /
trusts. A printed statement, credited
to E. D. Metcalf. superintendent of D.
NJ. Osborne & Co., to the effect that in
case Mr. Bryan was elected the Osborne
shops. one of the largest manufacturers
of agricultural implements in the coun-
try, wiuld be closed, received Mr.
Bryans attention. He declared that Mr. !
Osborne intended to coerce the voters, a
thing which was done by many four
years ago. and he warned the people
that this was but one of the many
methods the Republicans were employ
ing of denying to the common people the |
freedom guaranteed them by the con-
stitution.
Pointing to a statue of VIM. H. Sew
ard, Colonel Bryan said: There stands
the greatest man your city ever pro-
duced until Mr.. Metcalf arose. There |
that finger points upward and inscribed |
on the base are Stewards famous words: |
There is a higher law When our |
friend Colonel Metcalf is called to his !
fathers, I suggest you have a statue |
erected and have his finger pointing |
downward and inscribed There is a |
lower law.
1.-The president" said Mr.. Bryan, |
spends more time warning you not to |
hurt the good trusts than he does tell |
ing you how to meet the bad ones The |
vice presidential candidate spends more |
time denOuncing those who denounee the |
trusts than he does in denouncing the !
trusts themselves. Mr.. Hanna says |
there are no trusts, but they all know |
there is an ice trust"
Mr.. BryaD's references to imperialism |
were practically the same as in his New
York speech The special train bearing
Mr. Rryan left at 10: 35 for Ithaca.
