lighted to speak to you from the build
ing where this paper is so intelHgently
edited for America as against European
ideas. / believe the only reason our
principles are not IS strong in the east
as in the west is because the east has
not the same opportunities as the west.
Our party is not the party of the few.
but the party of the masses. 1t seeks
no special privileges for some, but
equal rights for all.
Il recommend that ycu read the ar
ticles by that distinguished Pennsylva-
nian. Ex-Governor Pattison who has
just returned from Porto Rico. and you
will find that the Porto Ricans can
write a complaint that viii rival
the complaint our people had against
England before the revolution 1 am
not here to speak TO you, but simply to
accept your welcome. l am always
glad TO meet Pennsylvania Democrats

Mr.. Bryan then drove down Delaware
avenue, which skirts the river front
Here wOrkmen gathered around his
carriage and showed much enthusiasm.
He received an ovation all along the
line to the point where he boarded
steamboat for Washington Park, n. j.,
about six miles down the Delaware
river.
In the campaign of 1896, he said at
Washington Park, Mr.. Mckinley had,
as a candidate, said, he would open
tire mills instead of the mintS, and
the first thing ne did" said Mr.. Bryan,
was to place in the statutes d tariff
measure which was intended to allow
the tariff barOns to get back the money
they had expended in the campaign
The question of trusts had especial
application and almost every sentiment
was aPplauded to the echo. Mr.. Bryan
said: = GA%fEE
4 read the other day of the fOunda-
ton of a milk trust. Think of it, A
milk trust to meet the infant when he
comes in the world; and when the in
FAINT grows into manhood the coal trust
looks after him in the winter time and
the ice trust in the summer time, and
the coffin trust waits for him at the
bottom of the hill when life's fitful
dream is over
Referring to his remedy, requiring a
state license for trusts, Mr.. Bryan said
he would shut up corporation in the
state of its origin until ii can show
that it is going into other states on d
peaceful mission and not as a high
wayman."
Still Firm For Silver.
Just as Mr. Bryan was closing his
speech at Washington park some one
in the distance held up a silver dollar.
Mr.. Bryan saw it and said:
Il notice a gentleman over there
hold up a silver dollar and he evidently
wants to know something about silver,
and I will remind him that his desire
TO hear something about money and
nothing about human rights illustrates
the sOrdid level upon which the Re
publican party is fighting this cam
paign- prolonged applause and cries
of Bryan, Bryan, BTyan.")
Nobody who reads our platform
need to ask about the silver question,
but I want you to know that the Re
publlcanS who used to worry about a
50-cent dollar are not worrying today
about the 50 per cent citizen they have
given us in Porto Rico. The Repub-
licans who thought we could not have
double standard of money now think
we can have a double standard of gov
eminent, republic here and a des-
potism in the Philippines"
At Trenton he said: The trust dis
courages inventive genius, for if all
men who have skill in one occupation
are under one man then they hang
ence; it is the hope that you can some
day be your own master that stinu-
lates people to highest endeavor, and
when you take this hope out of the hui
man breast and plant despair in its
place you start downward toward the
level of the dark ages. And il is bad
for the labOTing man, for if a labor
ing man has genius and skill and his
employer does not recognize his skill
and genius, another employer will. But

trary to our political science and TO
the welfare of a people like ours. for
when thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of men are employed by one man
and dare not leave his employment for
fear of having no use for the skill they
have spent a lifetime in acquiring. 1

Referring to the Philippines, he said
I would rather the Filipinos would
live and love us than that we should
sell collins 10 them when they die hat
ing u.s.
He then spoke of EngIand's admins
tration in India, where. he said. mil
lions are starving because of Eng
lands oppressive system of taxation.
Opposed to Betting.
Closing his speech. Mr.. Bryan made
until the close of the campaign and
asked his supporters not to bet on re-
suits, saying, in part;
II you have money to spare, put il
IN the campaign fund instead of bet
ting with ii. Do not try to beat the
Republicans at their game. When you
bet, you bet your money; when trust
magnate bets, he bets other peoples
money. newspaper friend Of mine
save some good advice the other day.
He told the Democrats if they would
put their money in the campaign fund
they would get satisfaction enough out
OF success to make them willing to
spend the money that way; that if we
lost II was no qualification to give the
Republicans Democratic money as we'll

not go to the great corporations and
ask them to contribute, because We do
not intend that they should make it
