MR.. BRYAN's SPEECH.

Before an audience Of 5000 people in
the baseball park, at Des Moines, Iowa,
last night, William ]. Bryan, democratic
candidate for president, formally opened
his speaking campaign. For nearly two
hours he discussed the tariff question,
and was then taken to the Des Moines
Auditorium, where 1000 people, unable
10 obtain seats in the park, had assem-
bled TO listen first to local speakers and
to await Brysn's coming.
The evenings rally was preceded by a
parade under the auspices of the Young
Mems Bryan Club, In which over 1000
participated.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan said
For twenty-five years the American
workingman has been told that be re-
ceives higher wages than the English
workman solely because of protection.
But our wage earuers now know thst
this cannot be due 10 protection, because
the English workman receives higher
wages than the German workman, al
though the Grrman tariff Is higher than
the tariff of Crest Britain.
Pfotactio does not make good wages.
Oar better wages are due to the greater
intelligence and skill Of our workmeu,
to the greater hope which free institu-
tions give them, to improved machinery,
to the better conditions that surround
them, and to the organizations which
have been formed among the wage
earntr5.
The whole aim Of our party Is
to secure Justice 10 taxstiou. We believe
that each individual should contribute to
the support of the government in FRO
portion to the benefits which he receives
under the protection Of the government.
We believe that revenue thrift, APP
preached gradually, according to the
plan laid down In our platform, will
equalize the burdens Of taxation, and
thst the addition of an income tax will
make taxation still more equitable.
II the republican party is to have the
support of those who fnd . pscunisry
profit In the exercise of the tsxing power,
as private asset in their business. we
ought 10 have the support of that large
msj r.ty OF the people who produce the
nations wealth in time of peace, and
protect the nations flag in time Of war,
and ask for nothing from the government
but even-handed justice.

LAUNCHING bis keeDest shafts fgalni
the hardness Of the republican conces-
sion that tariff revision is pertinent and
treating the admission IS piece of it
sincerity intended merely to dupe the
people into once more supporting their
psr.y, Mr.. Bryan last night delivered
tine first of his speakiDg-tour speeches 10
Des Moines, Ia, where tariff revision
sentiment is most rampant, because OF
the sincere demand Of rspublicansss well
a. democrats. Mr. Bryan showed that
the platform utterance 1T Chicago was
wrapg from the republicans by fright
and that it really promised nothing. DE
went into a discussion of the unreasor-
ableness and unfairness of tanff exac-
tons. His speech practically assumed
the consent of his hesrers to the doctrine
that the tar.f ought to be revised, and
was devoted largely to showing that The
demoerats aud not the republicans were
IN he trusted to revise it, in spite OF the
declaration in the republican platform
and 10 comparison of the respective
remedies offered by the two parties for
tariff inequality. He attacked the re-
publican promise Of tariff revision and
pertinently asked if the democratic party
was not justified when it included In Its
platform the declaration that "the people
cannot safely intrust The execution Of
this important work to a patty which is
40 deeply obligated to the highly pro-
teetsd interests IS the republican party"
He declared that the republicans cannot
be trusted to revise the tariff as they are
in league with the trusts. He also COM
hated the idea that protection raises
wages and clearly showed that The poor
suier most from the tariff. The demo-
cratic sin, he declared, is to procure
iustice in taxation and bis speech was
much more logical tan thst which Mr.
TAFT delivered at Hot Springs yesterday
