Mr. Bryan followed, making a strong appeal to thoso presont to support tho Demo cratic ticket. Bryan on tho Trusts. While Mr. Jones was talking 50 or 00 boys congregated together in a part of tho park separated from tho mala crowd and kept up such a clamor that it be came necessary for tho polioo to disperse them. Mr. Bryan was iutrodneed by Mayor Jones and ho said ho was proud to bo presented by a man to whom duty was a higher consideration than was any party. Taking np the question of non partisanship Mr. Bryan said that not only were former Republicans coming over, bat that gold Democrats were coming back. This, he said, was the natural result of political conditions and of the Republican party’s persistent dis regard of the rights of the pooplo at large. Mr. Bryan took up the question of trusts, declaring that the utterances of both President McKinley and Govomar Roosovolt showod'thom to bo more in terested In protecting what they called tho good trusts than in suppressing the bad trusts. He said that if times got hard the corporations would cut down wages rather than redneo their divi dends. Ho would make it impossible for a private monopoly to live under tho American flag and if elected president all tho power vested in the oxecutivo should be used to that end. This senti ment was vigorously cheered and there were cries of “Bravo.” Philippines and the Army. Speaking of tho standing army, Mr. Bryan declared that if tho Repub lican ticket was elected there would never be a smaller standing national force than tho present. Ho declared that the Republicans were not prepared to dofend their foreign policy and ho gave the following as a resume of all tho Republican speeches on tho Philip pines question: "We are sorry we have the Philippine islands. They camo to us by accident. Wo are sorry wo have thorn, but wo cannot lot go of them. It looks as Jf God had sent us there; it looks as if we were following tho leadings of a Divine hand, and besides there’s money in it.” That, bo said, was tho gist of all tho Republican spcoches on the subject. Ho declared that it was neither righteous nor wise to oocrce the Filipinos and he thanked God that he hail so firmly linked together that which is wise and that which is right, that they cannot be torn asunder, asserting that the presi dent was exceeding the powors con ferred by tho constitution.
