BRYAN SPEAKS
AT STATE FAIR
MinnesotanS Listen to ADJ
dress at Hamline.
VAST CROWD GATHERS

Noted Nebraskan Talks on "Repub-
lcan Extravagance"-says tmpe.
REALISTIC Policy of the Party Is Re-.
sponsibIe for an Enormous and In
creasins Drain Upon Taxpayers Of
the Nation.
st. Paul, Sept. 'l.-William ]. Bry-
an delivered an address at the state
fair grounds at Hamline, his subject
being Republican Extravaganza" An
immense crowd greeted Mr.. Bryan
and gave him an ovation. He said in
part:
The Democratic platform makes Re-
publican extravaganza one of the is
1ues of the present campaign. The
Republican platform is silent on the
subject and naturally so; to have
promised economy would have been
2 mookery and to have defended the
Appropriations made by the last con-
gfess would have been impossible.
While this tendency to extravaganza
manifssts itself in nearly all depart
ments it is especially noticeable in
the army department and the navy de-
partment. The imperialistic policy,
for which the Republican party is re-
sponsible, is the only excuse for this
enormous and increasing drain upon
The taxpayers.
Our platform also calls attention to
the fact that $4,000 new officers have
been created, at an expense of $780,
100000 year, as against an increase
of 10000 new officers, with salaries
amounting to $6,OOO,O00, in the Cleve-
land and Mckinley administrations.
Farmers Have Reason to Complain.
While every element of our popula-
ton suffers to greater or less extent
because of the unnecessary expendi-
lures of the government the farmers
have special reason for complaint, be-
cause they pay more than their share
of the taxes collected and receive less
than their share of the benefits which
dow from the expenditure of the cor
toration.
Why is 1t that the Republican party
1s 50 much more extravagant than the
Democratic party in the expenditure
of public money? There are two rea-
sons: First, because Republican lead
ers are more Intimately associated
with the taxeaters than the taxpayers;
second, the Republican leaders have
taught the doctrine that taxation is an
1nalloyed good. It is not strange that
people who consider taxation as a
blessing would be inclined to make
the blessing as large as possible.
The Democratic party is in posi-
ton to bring reform in the matter of
Expenditures. 1t believes that a tax
IS defensible only when necessary and
that 1t should be reduced to the low
est limits consistent with good gov.
eminent. Our party is pledged to re-
duction in appropriations and to econ
ony in every department Of govern
ment and our position ought to appeal
with special force to those of our pop
plation who are engaged in agricul-

CANADIAN PACIFIC WAsH0UT
Hundreds Of Yards of Track Are

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. L-One of
the worst washouts in the history of

still falling. Hundreds of yards of
track between here and Kenora were
washed away and dozens of trains
held up. None are allowed to cross.
Loss to the company is heavy. Sur
rounding country for the most part is

water which descended, unable to find
natural outlet through the ground,

SHIP SIBERIAN TIMBER.

MELBOURNE, Feb. 2s.--An Aus
tralian corporation has just received
a concession from the Russian Gov
ernment to take out thirty million
feet Of timber year from forest in
Siberia, nine hundred miles from
Vladivostok, to be delivered in Mel
bourne, Australia, approximately
eight thousand miles away, and nearly
three times the distance from New
York TO San Francisco.
II is likely that no numbering op-
Grafton Of recent years more strongly
illustrates the pinch in the timber
supply in all parts OF the world. In
the news Of the concession told in an
American journal, is the suggestion OF
the difficulty that all countries may
have to encounter in getting the wood
which thew need in the future. Every
year the timber cruisers are going
further and further aficld and cutting
trees which. in former times OF abun-
dance, they passed because OF the in
accessibility OF the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber
the Melbourne lumbermen will have
10 ship the entire years cut in July,
August, September and October, for
during the remainder of the year
there is no open water at the point OF
shipment What makes this unusual
feature Of transporting bulky logs
5000 miles quite feasible is that such
unmanuiacturcd stock is admitted
free, while there is a heavy duty on
all manufactured wood brought into
Australia, the duty on lumber, for
instance, being nearly $500 thou
sand board feet. Az Melbourne. a
new mill is being erected to manu-
iacture these logs into dressed stock
such as flooring, ceiling and other
products, as we'll as into lumber.
These Siberian operations differ
from the numbering methods in the
United States, in that in this country
it is possible and customary to have
new mills conveniently near the place
of production, though, with the con-
tinually decreasing supply, the larger
mills often find ii profitable to haul
their timber by trans and railroads
many miles away from their saws.
Forest experts in this country say
that the hope Of the United States for
steady supply OF timber lies in the
application Of forestry to all timber
lands, private and public, and the
careful study OF the economical and
better utilization OF product. Even
so, severe shortage in twenty to
twenty-five years must be expected,
