 William J. Bryan, in conference at Lincoln, Neb.. with the Democratic na- tional committee. caused the. adoption of the strongest kind of a resolution for publicity of campaign funds. He pledged the national Democratic party in the coming campaign to accept no contributions whatever from corpora tions and none from any source which exceed $10,000. All contributions over S100 are to be made public. The pub lication is to be begun on Oct. 15. giv- ing the amounts contributed up to that time and thereafter daily as fast as received. No contributions over S100 will be accepted within three days of the election.
 The Republican committee will ac- cept no contributions from corpora tions," said Judge Taft, and in an inter- view he also referred to labor, prohibit tion and other questions. Mir. Taft said that not only would the law of New York state providing for the pub licity of campaign contributions be obeyed by the national Republican committee, but the federal law prohib- iting such contributions by corpora 4s t.> n10 snN president, vice president, representa- tives or senators would be followed without regard to any question of va lidity that might arise in respect to any provisions of that law.
 Messrs. Bryan and Kern issued an appeal to farmers for contributions of any size to the Democratic campaign fund. "CitiZens who ask from the government nothing but protection to their rights" should follow the exam pie of an Iowa farmer contributor, who brought to Lincoln $100, said the nominees. u.
 Mir Bryan has not begun the prepara- ton of his speech of acceptance, and the probabilities are that he will not do so until Mir. .Tafts address is deliv- cred The question of whether he will make m extended campaign tour is one which MT. Bryan is now consider ing.
 MT. Bryan does not wish to be drawn into the Brownsville case. In all his conversations with visiting delegations and others he has carefully refrained from talking on that subject.

BRYAN AGAINST
WOOL aRowERs
Proposed Policies Of Democracy
Would Wreck Wool Growing
Industry.

Mckinley was elected through a
number Of Rocky Mountain states
which had voted for Cleveland. These
states were Democratic because Of the
large mining population. They turned
to Mckinley on account Of the severe
punishment they had received by plac-
ing wool on the free list during the
four years Of the life Of the Wilson
Tariff act, which on the theory Of free
raw material swept away the duty
upon wool, and this nearly destroyed
the wool growing industry of the
United States; and If it had not been
saved by the Dingley act, which re-
stored the Mckinley duties upon wool.
the industry by this time would have
been wiped out in the United States.
Bryan hopes to carry Wisconsin, which
IL a wool growing state, and the Rocky
Mountain wool growing states which
voted for Cleveland the last time. APP
parently he expects the wool growers
to overlook the fact that the Republi-
can platform expresses and defines
protection to American Industries, par
ticularly mentioning the farmer, who IS
q wool grower.
Bryan's election would be a menace
to the wool grower in two ways. The
Democratic party has defined its atti-
tude toward wool as a raw material,
although it is the finished product of
the farmer. It takes a whole year to
grow a fleece Of wool, and in this eli
mate. where sheep are fed in winter,
they are fed crops. which represent la.
Dor ana high-priced American labor,
whereas the competitor Of the Ameri-
can wool grower is the wool grower Of
the Southern Hemisphere (Australasia,
the Argentine Republic and South AT.
rica),. who has the advantage Of perel.
nlal pasture. and owing to this advan-
tage, the cost Of wool growing is only
one-half. of. that Of the American wool
grower who, In the states enumerated.
have togfeed their sheep in the winter.
Another way to destroy the American
wool grower would be BY the destruc-
tion Of the American Wooden Company,
whicb consume 10 per cent II Amueri-
can wool, On the ground that It is a.
trust. The American Wooden Company
is composed ~of what were formerly
some of the largest mills Of the, United
