From this day, workl
Let no private demands
prevent this public duty.
ONE CAUSE OP RBJOICINO.
W. J. ajM, at H—Sum. Tb
it is one of the things that we rejoice at in this contest, that
we do not have the support of the trusts, or combinations, or
syndicates of this country.
A CAUSE IS KNOWN BY ITS COMPANY.
W.J. Bryao. at InSU—Osi. S
If you will look at the company which the cause of our oppo
nents keeps you trill get some idea of the true character of the
cause. Every man who has profited by special legislation,
every trust that seeks to impose upon the people, every syndi
cate that fattens on public adversity and every corporation that
thinks it is greater than the law which created it—all these are
oppoacd to ns and give us a certificate that we arc doing good
work for the people.
THE PEOPLE VS. THE SYNDICATES.
W. J. Brysa, il PsrtmrMxur. W. Va_ Oak L
We have to meet the combined influence of money in all the
money centers of the world. But, my friends, this campaign
will demonstrate whether the people arc to have a Government
of the people, by the people and for the people, or whether it is
going to be a Government of syndicates, by syndicates and for
syndicates.
BRYAN’S WORTHY AMBITION.
W. J. TVt«« to INaomili Chibs, a. Loots. Sai. Klctat. Oct. S.
1 read you briefly from the teachings of Thomas Jefferson to
show you, my friends, that it ought to be the ambition of every
member of these clubs to carry our Government back and place
it again securely on the foundation which was established by
the founders of this Government. If you should ask me what
is my highest ambition, I would say that above any office that
human hands can give, above any honors that human confidence
and human esteem can bestow, if I could choose a name by
which I could be known I would have it this: That I have
done my best to make this Government whst Jefferson desired
that it should be.
Commenting cm this eloquent passage the St. Louis Republic
says:
The greatest applause during the course of the speech was
when Mr. Bryan declared earnestly that his highest ambition in
public life was to do his best to make this Government what
Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party, would
have wished it to be.
‘‘You”ll have the chance I” a man in the audience shouted,
and at that a mighty cheer went np, and again the assemblage
was on its feet, calling out its certainty that Bryan was to be the
sure victor in November

one of the leading New York papers '
which la trying to make Democracy

Mr. Bryan has spoken out—spoken
bravely and plainly. He haa repeat
i rdly eald that be will use alt tbe pow
er of his office to enforce anti-trust
laws and destroy the trust* that prey
upon tbe people.
But not a whisper comes from Can
ton. Mr. McKinley has not even said
be would enroroe tbe anti-trust laws
on the statute books. H« baa satd
nothing. Ha baa not allowed a word
loeacapehl* lips Intimating that he
would naa the power of hie high office,
shoal d babeeleoted, to protect the
people from unlawful combines.
Major MeKInley dare not speak out
