IMston. M*l., Ot. 24 - The Democratic
presidential candidate last night nban
done,i tailway coofhes and land carriages
for a trip on the water, lie came down
Chesapeake bay from Baltimore to the
hamlet of C a.Umrne. on th* eastern shore
of Maryland, and he devot'd the forenoon
of to-day to canvus.-lng that se iion f
that state. He left the Im at at C!a*bourne,
and from that poini traveled by nal
train.
At Ht. Michael*, the fli-t stopping pi c
of the day. Mr. Bryan spoke c a small
number of people, who had congregated
there. Among tho.e in th- crowd were
some colored people, and to tn*m Mr.
Bryan address*U himself to srm extent.
Before speaking to the toiored pe*>|)le he
referr*i to the questloti of trusts. He
said that the Republican party w in sug
geating no remedy for the trusts, and tnat
the reason why this was so was that the
Republican campa'gn contributions came
from the trusts
t>n the race question. Mr. Bryan sail:
"It is one of th** strange thing** we e
In this campaign that the Republican
party goes to a bla> k man and urges that
man to say by his vote that the brown
man in the Philippine Islat ds h is not n
right to a voli c in this government. An 1
it seem* to me that before a black man
votes to disfranchise a brown man he ha l
better find out upon what bo:t hie own
right stands, for if we deny to the Fili
pino the right to govern himself what
right have we to govern ourseiv* s <t
coat hundreds of thousands of lives nd
millions of money to give the black men
the I>ec|aratton of Independence and now
we are spending bundled* and thousands.
million** of dollars and waiting lives
to tike the I>ec la ration of Indspetden <*
away from the brown nun. Before th
black men of this * ountry vo.e the Repub
lican ticket they hud better look Into the
matter and find out what the chan e of
th** black man is to t- when we draw .
race line and say that because a man in
the Phlli|i>ln( Islands is brown and not
of our ra< ♦* w- will aend .* caj** ibag gov
ernment over there and hold the govern
ment of force over them by standing
army. NVe believe in th- Declaration of
Independence and If w.* have race prob

solve tli* m than to g* 7.X"* miles away
from horn** tg**t another ra*e prohbm
and enter upon its solution, not hen at
home, but so far away from home as tho
Philippine Islands are."

Salisbury, M*l . Oct 24 —ln his speech
at Preston M 1 Mr Bryan made refer
ence to tne financial qu-*tin In response
to an inquiry. The question was;
"How about 14 to 1?"
Mr. Bryan said:
"If you want to know about 14 to 1 I
will tell you. Sixteen to on# was tne
paramount Dsn** in IM*. but the Repub
licans have ilons so many mean thing#
sine# th#n that w# are kept busy on th#
new’ thing* Itut If a Republican dis
putes the 14 to 1 doctrine, you tell him
th.it wo have n Republican President, u
Republican Senate and a Republican
House, and they hvive never attempted 'O
change th# 14 to 1 ratio, and Mr Mc-
Kinley Is now coining sliver l*>4iars at
the ratio of 14 to 1 without walling for
the akl or consent of any other nation
on earth. Until the Republican party
proposes to change the ratio.
I object to their discussing the ratio.
NY hen they propose to change it w# will
discus# It with them "

Tiover. Del., Oct. 24. Mr. Bryan had an
excell-nt audience here, where he spoke
for about three-quarters of an hour. The
crowd wns large, and I*a appreciation was
manifested by frequent outburst# of ap
plause Referring to the trusts as an is
sue of the campaign. Mr Rryan said. In
his speech:
"If a Republican complains because you
discuss the trust question, you n-k him
why hi# party did not eliminate the trust
question by e'lmln.iting the trust- If the
Republican party ha*l dote Its duty dur
ing the last three years nnd a half there
would b no trust question to lls< u-e The
President promised the people in his In
augural address of Mar h, 1597. that h#
would enforce xlstlng laws and retom
mend new laws. He has done neither. The
Attorney Gn*ral has not enforced the
|w against the trusts. You have a law
on the statute books now that makes It
n penitentiary offense for a man to or
ganixe a ttust. You a o have i law
making it a penitentiary offense for a
man to steal a horse, but It Is much safer
In this country under a Republican ad
ministration to conspire againat 77.0hf.0hi
people than to steU u horse from one
man."
*|Ml%e to the Farmers.
Mr. Bryan again addresesd himself to
th# farmers of hls nud.ence and among
other things said to them:
"Why should a farmer in Delaware vote
to allow corporations to water their stock
when no farmer enn inf! te the value of
hls farm’ I have not seen the statistics
of Delaware, but I have seen the statis
tics of other states, showing that agri
cultural land wdl sell for less to-day than
It would sell for tan. fifteen, or iwenty

of your farm, end yet you allow a corpor

At Rome a huge crowd gathered In the

While the Governor was a caking a
crowd of Juveniles who had ga hared Im

them, saying
"It is |*erfectly characteristic that those

Th# hoys continued their hr!#* of
