The Greeley tribune., 1906-10-25

william Jennings Bryan addressed
one of the largest political meetings
ever held In Greeley at the state
armory Saturday morning. The
great hall was crowded to the doors
with men and women, -anxious to
hear the noted Nebraskan.
Mr.. Bryan arrived here from La
Sale at about 1890. having been
met there by special train carrying
the leaders of the Colorado demo-
cracy. On account Of Mr.. Bryan's
train being two hours late no time
was allowed for the entertainment
planned in his honor. A reception
was to have been given for Mr..
Bryan at the home of Senator W. L.
Clayton but the time schedule only
allowed stop here of thirty
minutes
Mr.. Bryan spoke on state and ma
tional issues. He particularly
scored the corporations Of the coun-
,erys He came to Colorado he aid.
to help In the fight because Colorado
was q corporation ridden state and
he had enlisted in the war against
corporate ,ule wherever 1t existed.
In summing up what the republi-
can party had done for the country
the past ten years, during which
time they had been In control Of the
presidency, the house and senate,
he said that there was only one re-
publican who had become popular
with the people, the president, and
that his popularity rested entirely
upon principles that he had borrowed
from democracy.
''Thes president has simply tried to
follow in the footsteps Of democrat
and has not been able to fill the
tracks.
mot reform, said Mr.. Bryan,
''has been put into execution BY the
republicans during the ten years thew
have been in control of the govern
ment that was not democratic prin-
ciple. advocated by that party In its
platform for years. The republicans
constitute the party under which
huge trusts and corporations have
fattened and grown strong. Their
elections for several years have been
won by an argument that the demo-
Gratis neither could nor would en-
ploy. In the campaign of 1906 there
were thousands of working men told
before election that II the rephbli-
cans won they we're to come back to
work the day after election If the
democrats won they we're out of en-
ployment.
II tell you it takes courage to
vote ones conviction against such
argument. When the alternative OF
voting in favor OF the corporations
or see ones family starve is put be-
fore man he will usually do as the
corporations tell him to.
II am willing to go down on my
knees every morning and ask God to
send ne that day my daily bread.
but 1 am not willing that million
Americans should 20 down upon
their knees and ask that of the cor
porations.
Colorado, like other states, finds
itself at the mercy of monopoltes

under existing conditions and the
democratic party through it's plat
form and the candidates nominated
thereon has pledged the tax payers
that these conditions will be reme-
died.
'The railroad combine, the smelter
trust, and in Denver the local fran
chlse corporations, all have long
had the state at their mercy.
IF the citizens are to find relief
from existing conditions they must
turn from the party that profits by
these conditions to the party that is
pledged to give relief to the people.
THE democratic ticket. made up
Of men determined to act for the
whole people, offers the voters Of
Colorado their only opportunity for
securing relief.
Speaking of the campaigns of 1896
and 1900 MIR. Bryan said:
Important as was the campaigns
Of those times the issues before the
country now are even more import
Anka = Va
The silver question was only one
phase OF still deeper problem
namely, whether the government
should be administered in behalf OF
the wohle people, or in behalf OF a
favored few.
The unexpected and unprece-
dented discovery Of gold gave us an
increase of money from sources which
we did not count upon. and the pros
perity which followed larger volume
of money has vindicated those who
voted, ~ you did, for larger circu-
lating medium.
The issue, however, between the
people and corporate wealth still
continues, and 1t is aggravated by
the fact that the abuses complained
of in 1896 and 1900 are not remedied.
They not only exist but have In
creased. until thinking republicans
are beginning to wonder v hat the
end is to be.
Even the president has felt called
upon to sound a note Of warming. He
has to some extent followed the
democratic platform, but he has not
gone as far or as fast as he ought to
have gone. On the railroad ques-
tion he has also adopted the demo-
cratic position, although he permit
ted the railroad senators to force
compromise at the last moment. lie
has even called attention to the
swollen fortunes which have been ac-
cumulated under republican favorit-
ISM and has suggested an inheri-
tance tax as means Of making the
owners of these fortunes disgorge.
Who has been gorging? Not the
farmer, not the laboring man, not
the merchant. not the ordinary
manufacturer, but the trust magnate
and the owners of protected indus
tries who have been enabled TO en-
rich themselves by the use OF the
taxing power. To these may be ao-
ded owners of municipal franchises
who have secured enormous adVah-
tage by corruption Of city govern
ments.
All of the economic evils OF
which the people complain ut TINS
time are traceable to the abuses OF
corporate power. and these abuses

ALL GOING in
WELD COUNTY PEOPLE WILL
TAKE TRIBUNE BARGAINS
Price of the Paper Will be Cut
in Two on Term of Years
The Last Chance of
This Kind

Ihe close OF the Tribune Bargain
Week, Nov. l to 10, will mark an
epoch in the papers history. Indi-
cations are SO good now that we can
confidently expect to take in money
enough on subscription to completely
pay of all Indebtedness on the build
ing. That will be the first time
that the Tribune has been out of
debt, and it will put it in position
to make the paper larger and better
than it ever has been before. And
that is saying good deal, we think.
During this bargain week there is
way that you can secure the paper
for the next ten years at Just half
price. If you are a permanent resi-
dent Of Weld county you will want
the paper that long, and as long as
you live here, for we are going to
make it the brightest and best
weekly newspaper in Colorado. The
chance of securing the paper at half
price for term of years will likely
never come again and if you miss
this opportunity you will be kicking
yourself ever after.
Four years ago when we advertised
our first Bargain Week many hesi-
tated to pay the years in advance,
feeling certain that the owners
would depart in the night with SO
much money. However, enough
people had confidence in the Trib-
une, even under new management,
} so that 81, $50 was the net result Of
, that bargain week.
Everybody knows us by this time
and knows that we will do exactly
what we promise. Because of this
we have reason to believe that not
less than 81, 900 will be paid in on
this Bargain Week.
Don't you think so? And hadn't
you better get in on the ground
floor? as the promoter would say.
Let us answer that for you. OF
course you had, and you are going
to. either on your back subscription
or in advance payment.
You can have it either way, just
like this, If you take advantage Of
the offer between Nov. and Nov. 10:
S3 pays for two years and saves 81.
81 pays for three years and saves 81
IS pays for four years and saves g.
Sc pays for five years and saves a.
$40 pays for ten years and saves 80.
No reduction on one year,
which is 81, same as heretofore.
Such, in a nutshell, is the plan by
which you can get the best paper
ever published in northern Colorado,
at the price of the poorest.
There are several people In Weld
county still enjoying the Tribune at
half price as a result of the Bargain
Week four years ago, and are chuck
ling to themselves over their fore
sight in taking advantage of that
offer. Those who take advantage Of
this Bargain Week will have still
more chuckles coming as the paper
has just started to grow.
just look at what has been done
in that line the past five years. In
that time the paper has grown from
four pages of home print and four
pages OF ready print to twelve pages
Of home print, with correspondence
system so complete that John Smith
can't sell sack Of potatoes any
where in the county without your
knowledge Immediately after. We
have. lots better plans for the future,
but stay with us and see.

Until sufficient time had elapsed properly
to measure the results of the San Francisco
disaster as affecting the solyency OF the
Companies represented by my agency, have
refrained from making any public statement.
l have received numerous letters from the
different Companies which represent, stat
ing in unequivocal terms their ability to meet
all their losses and at the same time to have
left sufficient amount of capital and surplus
not only to warrant their continuing in busi-
ness, but also to command the confidence Of
the public. Certain OF the Companies viii in
crease their capital stock in order that the
public may have no doubt as to their financial
strength. For instance, the Hartford Fire In
surance Company viii add to its surplus and
capital ss.750,00o its stock now sells at over
$500 per share.
In addition to the statements made by the
Companies, have watched carefully the pub
lie press, and have from disinterested sourc es
in New York city obtained expert opinions as
to the financial ability of my Companies and
their right to the confidence of the public, In
every case the verdict has been that the
Seventeen Companies represented would pay
all losses at San Francisco and still continue
