he said. FOR IL il did we would have a
private monopoly in control OF the
water and we would have TO buy

Speaks Of Coal Strike.
Regarding the coal strike, he said:
at seems 10 me that II is humiliating
for the president OF the United States
10 be forced 20 go on his knees and
beg the coal trust magnates 10 save
the people from a fuel famine and stop
the strike"
II he had stood on the Kansas City
platform, said Colonel Bryan, congress
would have passed law compelling ar
bitration of all such strikes, prevent
ing the situation ever growing So acute.
Addressing himself especially 10 the
Republicans. he said:
Now, you Republicans want to turn
down a man like RaWlins. who has
been there fighting for your interests.
You want to defeat a man like King,
who has had the interests OF your
selves and your children even closer 10
heart than have you yourselves.
You want men in the United States
senate who can't be bought by money
and can't be terrified by power, and you
have at least one such senator, who Is
known from ocean to ocean and who
is respected by the people Of this re-
public. / refer 10 Senator Rawiins, and
1 trust you are going to send him back
- Washington"
You betg" shouted an enthusiast
in the crowd.
Colonel Bryan mentioned the fact
. lot hut me
as one citizen 70 talk TO others. He
said that the Republicans could not re-
duce the tariff. despite protestations of
their intentions to do so, because as
soon as they proposed TO reduce the
tariff on any article. representative or
the interests connected with that arti-
Gle came around to tell how much he
had contributed 10 the campaign fund
and 10 demand that no change be made.
Merchant and the Thief.
at reminds me-" said he. "of a mer-
chant who had a coat on exhibition in
front of his store. A thief came along
and ran off with the coat. The mer-
chant ran after him and told him to
halt. but he kept on running. Then
a policeman came, and he drew his
pistol and prepared to shoot; but the
Shoot him IN the pants: the coat be-
longs TO me.
THAT is the way when the Republic
can party talks of changing the tar

can Join with US, for neither the coat
nor the pants belong 70 you
Col Bryan said publicity was no
remedy for the trust evil If man
steals a horse" he asked, would you
have "A law so he could make a record
In the county clerks office and then
sell the horse?'
The proposition of Roosevelt for a
constitutional amendment 10 deal with
trusts he said was not feasible. One
great reason was that il would take
years to get such an amendment
through. if 1t could be done at all. For
thirty-four years unsuccessful at
tempts had been made to get through
constitutional amendment for the cleo
ton Of United States senators by the
people. If the trust amendment dld
not meet with better fate, II was GER
tainly useless. Rawlins stood for the
election of senators by the people, and
If the people of Utah could so to the
pons and vote directly for a senator, he
had no doubt they would return Raw
Inns.
Cause Of Prosperity.
Prosperity, said Colonel Bryan. was
due principally TO the increased volume
of currency. although the Republicans
had said for sixty years that the coun-
try had enough money.
1T is partly due to a famine in Eu-
rope when we had big crop, he said
1T is partly due 10 the discovery OF
gold in the KIondike. The increased
| volume OF money has saved the Repub-
| lican party from the effects of its own
! logic. We wanted to open the silver
mines. Instead. new gold mines have
been discovered"
/ Taking up the question OF imPeFiRi=
/ ism, he said the Democratic party
wanted TO see the American republic
( strong because Il was loved, ana loved
/ because IL was good.
/ AT the close of Colonel Bryan's speech
! Major King announced that Nicholas
/ Comes, president of the Miners union
Of Eureka, was there In benan of his
4 organization to present the champion
/ of silver and friend of the laboring man
/ with a badge of the union. Mr.. Comes
! then came forward, presented the
/ badge TO Colonel Bryan and read the
| resolutions of esteem and support. as
published in yesterdays Herald,
Shall Stand For Silver.
/ Colonel Bryan made a neat reply in the
J course Of which he said: Il shall stand
/ for silver, when some of the miners OF
/ silver are ready TO destroy 1t in order

] A handsome bouquet was handed Col

4 multitude that cheered wildly, Rugged
! him, gFaspcd his hand his arm, or his
4 coat, and seemed ready TO carry hin
off on their shoulders, Colonel Bryan
was pushed by his escort toward tbs
! train.
He stopped the party three times
| Once was 10 speak a word and 10 grasE
the palm of a man with a long beard
who pressed tremblingly forward. An
other time was TO smile upon and shake
hands with an eager young girl. A
third time he touched the chubby fin

the crowd, Colonel Bryan finally
reached the train.
He stood on the platform as the cars
slowly moved out, and bowed cheerilS
upon the multitude which gave vent e
a chorus OF cheers that echoed clear q
the Wasatch mountains.
