NSVut1uueu 1Tom S&&e 1lHutsy ence to principles of morality. know that sometimes the wait from postoffice to postofiice Is long and tedious" In eulogfzing the powers of thought he told of his visit during the recent tour of Europe to the Coliseum of Rome where the Roman Emperors put the Christians to death drawing attention to the perma- ucnce of the Christian religion which had endured and grown strong centuries after the legions of Rome had been swept from the face of the earth.
 He drew from this the moral that the party should stand for It's principles and its morals.
 T do not know that we will do 50 any more quickly" he said, but know that when we do achieve a victory 1t will be a victory worth while"
 Trusts are an Issue. He declared the trusts were an issue of the campaign. He took the case of schwab of the steel trust as showing the way e man could sink his principles and forget right and justice. He declared the natural purposes of the trust were tc raise prices.
 |. ''But most of all I am against the trust" he said. because 1t shuts the door of opportunity against your boy and -fnine It condemns to servitude a man of noble outlook. I arraign the trusts on moral principles.
 The silver question was not dead. he de- clared. He said that if the reorganizera were asked to name ten men as suitable candidates for the Presidency they would name men who stood for the gold stand ard and there would not be the name oi a single man on the list who had favored free silver.
 "The very fact that they will not let a man be elected President who Is not q servant oe monopoiies shows that the question Is not dead" said Nfr. Bryan '"rhey tell us it is dead but 1t scares them nearly to death every four years. Well we will not put 1t in the ground as lone as it has enough life to frighten them."
 He said he challenged the reorganiza' ton papers to put into their columns the principles they were working for. He as. serted they were afraid to do it. He discussed the financial legislation pros posed in the present Congress and de- nounced all bills introduced on that line.
 Again he grew passionate and vehe- merlt, declaring that these reorganizers will call on you to crawl on your bellies to get money from Wall street."
 He declared what was needed in Ala banfa was the spirit of Andrew Jackson to resist such appeals as that He at- tackled the Aldrich bill saying that the banks would each year make 5000 under 1t which would afford them an op- portunity of making gigantic campaign contribution to the party which stood for the measure.
 He quoted an attack made by Prest- dent Mckinley on Grover Cleveland, and said that he endorsed every word of it..
 For Organized Labor.
 sOaA rz,ard foP 0FRa nfnAA labor saying that if organized labor had made its mistakes, organized capital had also made it's errors. The settlement of the labor question, he said, should be raised to a moral basis.
 He asserted that the claim that the question of imperialism was settled was not well founded. It could not be settled, k he said, as long as there was freedom in the United States and imperialism in the Philippine Islands. The United States would have to become imperialistic or the Philippine Islands free.
 He called upon his hearers to drive out the man who sells his vote, to drive out the legislator who sold his vote for in- fuence or money and the congressman who sold his vote for campaign contri- buttons.
 Drive out the man who gives the lie to every honest promise and do not allow your party to be weighted down with driftwood of this sort. Have faith in the wisdom of doing right. If may of- fer a prayer 1t Is "Oh. Lord, give us faith in the wisdom of doing right"
 At the close of his speech Mir. Bryan held an informal reception on the stage of the theater after which he went with his friends to the Elks Home on Blob street.
 He will leave this morning for Jack son Miss
