Makes a Great Speech at the TJni ' versity, Carrying Conviction to His Hearers. Short Speech on Trusts at Durham. ' , , ronoi Term v n tvu ia tt vsr " VUfkIVI ill V., VUr Jkm ftAVTll. - .1 . J. Bryan made a masterly speech to the students here today. It was a masterly effort and its like has not been heard here during this generation. It was fresh, virile, inspiring. The money question was made plainer than I had ever heard it put before, and it won his audience. In discussing the trust question he en larged upon tbe idea that it destroys in dividual opportunity and blocks the avenues Of independent . success hitherto open to all young men. Nothing finer has ever been heard here than this ar raignment of monopoly, putting em pnasis upon ins nai rowing the op portunity for independent enterprise, and making mighty millionaires of those who controlled the trusts and condemn ing others to servitude to this new form of oppressive task-masters. If possible his treatment of the imperialistic policy was the climax of his wonderful address. It was enriched by many a "Thus saitb the Lord," and was ao unanswerable and powerful that it carried conviction to the hearers, all of whom: cheered to the echo bis eloquent appeals to resist the encroaenment of muitratism and imperialism. v - An admission of 50 cents was charcred. and after the address Mr. Bryan made a short and stirring speech on the porch of tbe hotel to a large gathering. Enough money was received from the lecture to establish a permanent fund, the interest on which will each year buy a medal or some prize to be awarded to the student writing the best essay on the science of government.

This assertion was cheered enthusiastically by the immense crowds. , Tne weaitn oi a nation does not come from the wealthy, but i the toilers, The masses do not wantcrumbs.
