W. J. BRYAN.
He is Opposed to Concession and
Stands For The Old Platform.

A few days ago W. J. Bryan return
ed homefrom Europe. His friends at
Lincoln, Nebraska, gave him a BAN
quet. At the table sat about 800
persons. In Mr.. Bryan's speech, he
said, in part:
''Instead Of talking OF concessions
and compromises, it is time for honest
and aggressive action. We are con-
fronted with a condition that may
well alarm the thoughtful and patrio-
tic. We find corruption everywhere.
Voters are bought ats much per head,
Republicans in our city governments
are protlting by their positions, and
even Federal officials are selling their
influence. What is the cause? The
commercial spirit thus puts a price on
everything and resolves every question
into 'Will It pay?' This commercial
ism has given popularity TO that theory,
Of government which permits the
granting OF privileges to favored few
and defends the theory by an attempt
to show that the money thus given
directly finds its way indirectly back
into the pockets Of the taxpayers.
"We see this theory 10 operation on
every side. The protective tariff
illustrates II. Our financial system
rests upon 1t. The combines hide
themselves behind 1t and imperlallsts
are substituting this theory for the
constitution. Is 1t strange that money
is used to carry elections? II party
makes certain classes rich by law, will
it not naturally turn to those classes
for contributions during the cam
paign?
IN SMALL LEGISLATION.
nIf Congress votes millions OF dollars
annually to the tariff barons. money
magnates and monopolists is 1t not
natural that Aldermen should traffic
in the small legislation OF a City
Council, and IL officials high and low
use the Government as II 1t were a
private asset is ii surprising that many
individuals who are without influen-
tial position cannot resist the tempta-
tion to sell the only political influence
they have-namely, the ballot? What
is the remedy? There is but one
remedy-an appeal to the moral sense
of the county, and awakening Of the
public conscience.
aAnd how is that appeal to be
made? Not by showing greater de
sire for thespoils Of Office than for re-
forms, but by turning deaf ear tc
the contemplate cry of anything te
win, and by announcing an honest
and straightforward position on every
public position. II we would appeal
| to sincere men we must ourselves bt
sincere, and our sincerity can be shown
only by a willingness to suffer defeat
rather thad abandon the cause Of
good government.
