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.

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 years ago You cannot inflate the value of your farm, end yet you allow a corpor ation to issue watered stock, sometimes as much as ten times as much water as there Is money invested, and then you al low It to combine and monopolise a mar (Continued on Fifth Page.)
