A platform had t,*o er< clod near Ihe depot ar.d from this Mr Bryan talked for about ten minutes, while the train took on a dining car. He did not attempt to make a set speech in this brief period, but contented himself with pointing out what he denominated the Ineonslstincte* of the Republican parly and the means of meeting Ihelr ar guments. He said: I "If a Republican tells you that a perma nent debt Is u good thing, you tell him that In all the campaigns of the past the Republican party has been bragging a><>ul how it paid off the national debt and that vet to-day th* Republican party stands for a currewy system that can only make It permanent, for you cannot have banknotes secured by government bonds unless there are government bonds to secure them."

"you tell him llisi until Ihl* campaign the Republicans have always pointed to the advantage of not having a large standing army, remind him that when a Republican I’reskleoi went into office that W had an nrmv of Si.ooo soldier*, and that same President asked for a standing army of Wt.l*o sol diers In December.

Here dr Bryan was reminded thaf hto tlm* wa* brief. H* closed a* follows: "I want to suggest two questions for you to use with thoue ovho defend the Imperialistic policy In the Philippines.

Thto. he Insisted, was the question of Imperialism and he likewise Insisted that the Republicans were doing all they could to evade this is sue.

Tho truth was that the Republican* who had Inveighed so much against u double-standard In money were trying ti create a douhlt-stundard In govern ment; they were contending for democ racy and for it mild despotism In the Isles of tho sea.

Mr. Rryan defended Ids course In ad vocating Ihe ratltlcailnn of the peace treaty, saying that he considered II pref erable lo have the treaty ratified to hav ing another made by the same parlies, believing It better to eliminate Bpain from the question entirely.
