the railroads did not observe the law
government ownership could be the
only solution of the railroad problem,
but" said Mr.. Bryan, "I leave off
the If because | know that the rail-
roads will not observe any law which
does not conform to their Wishes"
He declared unequivocally for a re-
duction in the tariff, and confidently
said that many Republicans who had
clung to the Republican party in hope
that tariff revision would be accom-
plished by their party would in the
next election come over to the Demo-
Gratis, whom they know are sincere in
their desire to work in the interest of
the entire country.
Not Far Enough
Mr.. Bryan complimented the presi-
dent upon his attitude on the railroad
rate question, but he said that the
president and congress had not gone
far enough, although they had been
working along the lines suggested by
the Democrats years ago.
He declared that the issue of 1896
was not dead-that the Democrats then
only demanded a larger supply of
money, and that it made little differ
ence whether IL was silver or gold,
but that the greatly increased supply

solved the problem, yet Republicans
had claimed all the credit for supply
ing the necessity, which, in fact, had
been the result Of the advantage taken
of the kind dispensation of Providence.
Good crops had largely resulted in an
increase in money.
He declared that the president of the
United States has no element of pop
ularity except when he is adopting a
Democratic idea and that he is un-
popular when he fails to have it
He declared that no party ever had
been more fully vindicated than had
the Democratic party during the past
ten years, and that he faced the future
with the greatest hope and confidence
Hope for Democrats
The speaker declared that he wanted
to bring to the Democrats of the Paci-
fic coast words of encouragement, and
he declared that he had never spoken
to an audience of Democrats when he
could offer as much encouragement as
he could the members of the party who
were before him on this occasion, and
thisiconfidence had come mostly during
the past six months.
Mr.. Bryan declared that the most
popular thing the president had done
was to endeavor to enforce the anti
trust laws, yet these very same laws
which he was now trying to enforce or
to have enacted were the
same laws which the Democrats es-
poused long years ago.
He declared that the Democratic
party denounced the trusts as indefen-
sible and intoerable and that it
wanted to place the large law breaker
on the same footing as the small one
He said that the tariff will never be |
reduced by it's beneficiaries. He said |
hat every reform advocated by the |
president had been advocated years |
lgo by the Democratic party, and that |
he Democratic party was being vindi- |
,ated day after day by a Republican |
president.
He indorsed the income tax idea, and |
that would admit of the |
income tax.
Mr. Bryan also advocated the inher-
itance tax.
He said that the arguments of Social |
lists arose from the abuses of the Re-
publican party
A great demonstration followed the |
'loSe of Mr.. Bryans remarks.
