MR.. BRYAN'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced during
deafenlng applause and held the atten-
tion Of his big audience for nearly
three-quarters OF an hour He said
among other things:
II have found that the government
Is "a very large extent an accurate
reflection Of the intelligence Of people,
for when there Is great ignorance there
is usually very bad government. Where
the people are not trained 20 studies
and do not for themselves understand
the issues. they are taken advantage
OF by those who do understand. And
] have been encouraged 10 find that
everywhere there is tendency 10 en-
large the sphere Of education. for n
means that there will also be growth
IN the government toward perfection.
Now, today the Democratic party
has a policy. The Republican party
does not outline its policy as the Demo-
cratic party does The president to-
day Is embarrassed by the fact that
you can search the platform upon
which he was elected with a magnify
ing glass and you cannot find one sim
gle promise Of reform on any subject.
The trouble with the president has
been when he tried 10 do anything
he had 10 whip the Republicans into
lire with the Democratic platform in
stead OF the Republican platform. And
the trouble with the Republican party
In this campaign is that It's motto is
stand pat defend Shst you have got
and don't promise anything more They
say. Stand by the president Well
my friends. the only way you can stand
by the president, II he really wants
reform is TO give him a Democratic
Congress to back him instead Of Re-
publican Congress.
MY friends, ! believe that private
monopoly is an indefensible thing. You
cannot fnd a Republican platform that
denounces the principle of private mo-
nopoly. The line Is going to be drawn.
We are going 10 find on, who Is IN IA
vor OF exterminsting a trust and who
is not IN favor Of II. The man who Is
IN favor of regulating might Just as
well take of his mask and declare him
self for you cannot regulate private
monopoly. II regulates you.
II tell you that arbitration is force
ful thing. I tell YOU that the presl-
dent OF the United States has to his
credit a great achievement. He set
tied the coal strike after a loss Of s45,
900 900. think Il is one 81 the proudest
acts Of his official capacity. but. my
friends, I am not satisfied that he shall
have one strike after loss OF S45,0oO,0OD.
] want system that will make II un.
necessary for a man 10 starve his wife
IN order TO Ak the price by which he
can live.
But no American can travel through
other lands without feeling his heart
glow with pride that his lot was cast
In the United states. | have never
felt 80 grateful In my life as ! have
since have seen the old world, that a
kind providence cast my lot under the
Stars and Stripes"
AT the conclusion OF his speech Mr..
Bryan left AT $40 for Bridgeport.
AT BRIDGEPORT
Bridgeport, Conn. Aug 3l.-Enthusi-
asm Tor Mr.. Bryan marked his appear
ance In this city tonight Mr.. Bryan
spoke IN the Bridgeport armory.
For an hour Mr. Bryan asailed the
Republican party on IT'S attitude to-
ward the questions now before the
American people. He said that the
party had had chance
10 repeal every law that has not con-
to the peace, happiness and
OF the people, and II was
his intention to show why the people
are not happy.
on the tariff question he said the
policy Of the Republican party has con-
tributed 10 the present unrest and there
ls no promise Of reform. The high tariff
was made BY the manufacturers. Its
blessings 90 not prevent the party
members from threatening its over
throw. but the men who made the tariff
now demand their blood money. More
over. the tariff Is antagoniEing every
other nation. n makes them raise bar
riers. Germany was overjoyed al the !
beef scandals II was said there ~ the
United states III you won't let US !
sell To YOU We won't buy Of you" In |
England two years ago during a great |
discussion OF the fiscal question, the |
doctrine n retaliation was advocated. |
Mr.. Bryan referred 10 the last speech |
N President Mckinley which was
Flea for reciprocity. and said that since |
he death Of the lamented president his |
party had absolutely failed to heed
hat advice.
Ny friends" said Mr.. Bryan. there |
5 great revolution IN the Republican |
iarty. Ten years ago the Republicans
'ald they could go into the street and
,ick up a man anywhere who could be
.lectod president; Xix years ago they |
aid there were hundreds who could be |
,lec,ed. Today they say there Is only
me man who can BE- elected on a Re-
publican platform; and that man has
,ecn following Democratic principles.
; there any lesson IN that?'
In the course 81 his discussion ~ the /
