that we sniver every time a gambler in Wall street has d chill we should go back to the real cause and say that bonds and stocks shal be put upon an honest basis" On Tariff Question. Touching upon the tariff question, MT. Bryan said he commenced to talk tariff when he first began to make speeches. 'I can remember all the arguments that have been put up. We had protection as the theme for several campaigns. and now they say they are going to have tar if reform after the election" MT. Bryan referred to the egg story which caused him to be cartooned con- siderably and said that If the republic ans matched out eggs laid by democrats, the democrats entitled to some of the glory. He said that the injunction had taught great lesson and that he did not believe a corporation should hold up state.
 Let not these little judges who sit in federal courts" said Mir. Bryan, 'get the idea that they are bigger than the state. When the President appoints federal judge he does not have any idea Of making a man bigger than the people he serves. But even before the inJunc- ton was employed so frequently to hold up state legislation 1t served as a lesson to the workngnan He said that because of imperialism the army has been doubled and that there is a cry for a still larger army It's time for us to get back to democracy
 "All have said has been Introductory. It leads up to the sermon which is very short The democratic party has been vindicated by what the republican party has done, the democratic party has grown wiser and bigger and broader, the demo- cratic party has grown in popularity. Why is 1t that democratic leaders are more powerful and more lasting than the republicans There are two points of view: The aristocratic and the dem- ocratic. The aristocrat says legislate for the captains of industry. He thinks the government is suspended from the top. The democrat believes in going out among the people n all walks of life Why have republican leaders been friendly to the trust? Because they look ed upon the trust magnates as bene- ficiaries to the country. The democrats on the other hand, have thought of the millions of suffering people and have championed their rights.
 "When we come to consider imperial ism the republicans have thought only of few. while the democrats have view ed the question from the point of view of all tho people.
 Gambling Caused Panic.
 Gambling caused the recent panic. Has Wall street proposed law to give the people a remedy? Not a single law
  loaned national banks millions and you'll have to pay per cent interest to help them make something out of the strin- gency."
 Speaking of taking steps to make banks more secure Mr. Bryan told of a proverb of Solomon he had condensed. In MT. Bryan's form he said 1t reads: ''The wise man gets Idea in his head-the fool gets 1t in his neck"
 Mir. Bryan referred to the banking laws adopted by Oklahoma, the youngest state in the Union. and said the plan would probably be adopted by every state and by the government. Even now. he de- clared a special session of the Kansas legislature has been proposed for the purpose of adopting the democratic laws of Oklahoma. Think of it, said MT. Bryan "a republican governor of a re- publican state calling republican leg islature together to enact a democratic law
 But you can readily see how big the subject is and the only question to be de- cided Is whether or not the democrats will be democratic and convince the peo- pie that the party may be trusted" It was nearly 1 o'clock when Mir. Bry- an concluded his address. He spoke for about one hour and 80 minutes.
