The Peace Treaty. In this speech Mr. Rryan discussed more fully than at any tlnv before, the charge that he had secured the reitth'sHon of thp peace treaty with Spain. On this qu*w lon he rt si: "My Irtend*. I want to rail your atten tion to on argument that th Republican party set ms more fond of making than It doe* of making any argument In defense of Imperialism The main argument iliat 1 have been hearing lately In defense of Imperialism Is that I helped to ratify the treaty. Republicans give me too much cr<dlt when they say I secured the rati fication of the treaty. 1 have not .-et found a single senator who has publicly declared that he voted for the treaty be es tse I want,*! him to, but B*naior Wel lington has eatd that he voted for the tr- ity because the President k*d him to, end promised that the Philippines should not be held permanently. If the treaty was ratified, so that If you attempt to prove that I am responsible for_ the trealty you cannot do It, but you can prove by Senator Wellington that the treaty would not have been ratified but for the promise of your Pveatdent. Bui I will say that If the KcpubllrMn party will not as sume the responsibility for the ratification of the treaty, I will do It myself. (Great applause.) I favored the ratification of the treaty. I was not a senator and did not have a vote I do not know that my voice Influenced one single vote, but I am willing to waive all that, and I am willing to assume the responsibility for the ratification of the treaty; hut. Republicans, you must assume the re sponsibility for the making of the treaty and for everything that baa happened since that treaty was ratified. That treaty might hava given independence to the Filipinos when It gave Independence to the Cuban!. I believe that It should have given Independence to them when It gave Independence to the Cubans and If. when It was made through the action of the President, the treaty had given Indepedenro lo the Filipinos as It waa In dr pendence to the Cubans, not one drop of American 'blood would have been shed In the Philippine Island* from that time to this. (Applause.) Republicans Responsible. "You ask who la responslhle for the shedding of American blood In the Phil ippine* and 1 aay that thae party l* re sponsible for the shedding of blond that was responsible for a treaty that made free men of Cuban# and tried to make vassals of the Filipinos (Oreet appsuse). When that treaty came to the Senate |i had to be met and thare were three things that might ba done Flrat. the treaty could ha ranted second. It could be amended If there were vote# enough In favor of the amendment, third. It could be rejected, It pould not be amended because there were not vote* enough, and If any in lellt* you that that treaty could have heeti aniuul*l In (he 8* nine 1 want you to r*- that wh n the* Bacon rraol'lltoti came before the £*u®tc It came with a tie vct *rul the vote of the Republican tk* | r>ft# nt defeated it.

Therefore we were compelled to either accept the treaty or reject It. What did a rejection of the tre.ty man* ft meant one of two thing* either the Pr**tdent would have to call the new Henate together, which wa* over whelmingly Republican, and then e pro a ratification from the new Senate, or #!*• he would have had to appoint anew < ommlnHnn to make anew treaty If It had been rejected If on the fourth day of February he had called the new Senate together on the fourth day of March and had the treaty ratified by the new Sen ate. then the delay would have done no good But iwippoee he had appointed a •*omml**lon to mike a new* treaty, who couid tell what c mpllcatlon might arlee while the new tr aty wa* being made.

On B*pi. Ik of that year Mr Bryan aald; 'lf we were defeated In this campaign there la nothing before the people hut four years more of hard time* and greater ag itation.' That statement carries with It Its own reply. Have the last four years been easier or harder lhan the three yfin preceding? You know well enough that they have been Infinitely better; and It Is the Republican party which has restor ed prosperity, for It ha* secured the (m --dltlon* which gave free play lo enterprise ami thrift. Mr Bryan continued In the same speech: 'Do you think w# have drained the cup of sorrow to ita dregs? No, my friends, you cannot set a limit to the present hard times ' But. as a matter of fact they did ret a limit, for the limit was not as soon as Mr. Bryan's de feat was secured; and the limit would lie instantly removed If he were now elec'- ed. We would all return at once Into the very condition from which the elec.ton of President McKinley rescued us four yeer* ago.

There are certain conditions to which such a statement might apply; bin It cannot possibly he compared with Mr. Bryan's other statement of Bept. 19, pt 9, in which he denrouneed the gold dollar as a 'rob ber' dollar. one statement means Jusl ns much aa the oilier and no more. In stead of bothering about whether the man I* ahead of the dollar or the dollar Is ahead of the man. or whether toe gold dollar Is a 'robber'—whatever that may mean—or anything else preposterous, let u* fix our attention on the fact that the polley followed for the last three years has resulted In bringing the man urn! the dollar together.

"Is the result of the recent campaign In Vermont The astonishing result In that state which has always been regarded aa . one of the wrong holds of the Hepubll ■ cgnx.
