Conclude n Speech at Wllmliifcton, Del., Ir Putting Queries Himself " Addremes In Two States. WILMINGTON, Del.. Oct. 2I.-Mr. Bryan made two speeches of some length In this city to-night, after having made seventeen other addresses during the day. Beginning at St, Michaels, on the eastern shore of Maryland, he spoke In succession at Easton, Preston. Murlock, Vienna, Salisbury, Berlin, all of which places are In Maryland, and at Frankford, Georgetown, Mllford, Harrington, Dover. Clayton. Mlddletown, Kirk wood and Newcastle, in Delaware. The audiences of the day were as a rule fair sized, and a majority of them were thoroughly appreciative. At a few of the topping places In Delaware there was apparent lack of enthusiasm. In one of his speeches here in Wilmington to-night he took cognizance of a series of questions propounded to him by John P. Nlelds. of this city. These questions wer5 as follows: "First Will he. if elected President, as commander in chief, Immediately withdraw the army from the Philippines? "Second How soon does he contemplate that a stable form of government can be given to the Philippine islands? 'Third How soon after a stable form of government Is established does he propose that Congress shall declare the independence of these Islands? "Fourth How soon after a stable form of government is established and independence Is declared does ho propose the American protectorate over the Philippine islands shall continue? , "Fifth Will he pay the obligations of thij government in silver or gold if elected President?" '. MIL BAYAN'S REPLIES. Mr - Bryan replied to the questions seriatem. As a reply to the first question he quoted from his speech of acceptance. saying: "I stated that If elected President I would immediately convene Congress In extraordinary session nnd would ask Congress to declare the Nation's policy to be to establish a stable government in the island3, as we are now establishing a stable govcrnment In Cuba; to declare our purpose to give independence to the Filipinos, as we have promised to Rive independence to the Cubans; , to declare our purpose to give protection to tho Filipinos a w have promised to give Xrotection to the Cubans and have for eventy-flve years given protection to the republics of Central and South America." On the second question he said: "No one has attempted to tlx the number of hours, or weeks or months necessary, but I will say "this, that I believe that we could establish a stable government in the Philippine islands in less time than the Republican party has established one in Cuba, and that I think I can promise you that our officials would not embezzle, as Republican officials have embezzled Cuban money." To the third question he answered that In hi speech of acceptance it was proposed to give them independence as soon their stable government is established. He fa id: "The phrase 'and as soon' mean.immediately.' in our language. I don't know what it means in Republican." Answering the fourth question, he said: "If the questioner had read my speech he would have seen that there was no limit on the protectorate, and we believe that this Nation can assert the doctrine that when this Nation helps a republic to 3tand uini its fet the ground whereon it stands 1 holy ground, and that no king shall ever set his foot on it." On the fifth question, relative to paying the obligations of this government in sliver or gold. If elected President, he said: "I want the Republicans who want that fiuotlon answered to tlrst find out wh.ti the law requires, and then I want them to kiuw that if elected President X will enteret that law Just as I would enforce the law against trusts, and put striped clothes on big thieves as well as little thieves. Rut if you ask me to construe u Republican law, I reply that I shall not construe a law until it becomes my duty to enforce it." QUESTIONS PPT BV BRYAN. Having replied to the questions Mr. Bryan then propounded some of his own. He Mild: "Now I want to ask' live questions, und when I ask thct-e questions I want ome responsible man to answer thein Hardly fair for a man who has no re. jxnlblllty to place his resiMinslbllity galn?t tint of or.e who has responsibility placed upon him by a party, and I wank .your pirly leaders ! .-ins wer the qucstlo: i.at 1 um goijp; to a.-!:." Mr. Bryan tbe: quoted from the President' message of

F'nlr wenthfr.

another has been fashiona fat! with Mr Pec. 5, 1S9S, recommending the Increase of the armj" of lOO.Ooa men. and asked if the Republican party, through any one authorized to speak, will declare that Republican success this fall means a standing army of Kio.ijoQ In the United States. His second question was: "If the Declaration of Independence Is true and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, then I want to ask. how can you buy the right to govern people or secure title to them by force?" The third question was: "Is the Filipino going to be a citizen or a subject?" The fourth question was: "Can you purchase trade with human blood?" The llfth question related to the establishment of a protectorate In the Philippine islands, concerning which Mr. Bryan said: "Republicans say that wc cannot protect the Filipino without a great deal of trouble. Wc have protected the republics of Central and South America for seventyfive years, and we have had no authority in these South American republics. Wo have never governed them, but we have protected them from outside interference. It has never cost anything, but it has been valuable to them. "The Republican doctrine," he continued, "is the doctrine behind which the monarchies of the old world have hidden when they have wanted to plunder people under the pretense of protecting them. Ours is a different protectorate." Concluding his presentation of these Inquiries Mr. Bryan said: "When the Republicans get through arguing those live questions 1 will havo some more for them. The trouble is that the Republican party is not attempting to meet the Issues of this campaign." FIRST SPEECH OF THE DAY. At St. Michaels, Md., the first stopping place of the morning, Mr. Bryan spoke to a small number of people. Among those In the crowd were some colored people, and to them Mr. Bryan addressed himself to some length. Before speaking to the colored reople he referred to the question of trusts. ' He again charged that the Republican party was suggesting- no remedy for the trusts and that the reason why this was so was that the Republican campaign contributions came from the trusts. On the race question Mr. Bryan said: "It is one of the strange things we see ir. this campaign that the Republican party goes to a black man and urges that man to say by his vote that the brown man in the Philippine Islands has not a right to a voice in his government. And it seeniä to ma that before a black man votes to disfranchise a brown man he had better rind out upon what basis his own right stands. for if we deny to the Filipino the right to govern himself, what right have we to govern ourselves. It cost hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of money to give the black man the Declaration of Independence and now we are spending hundreds of thousands, yes. millions of dollars, and wasting lives to take the De laratlon of Independence away from the brown man. Before the black men of this country vote the Republican ticket they had better look Into the matter and find out what the chance of the black man is to be when we draw a race line and say that because a man in the Philippine islands is brown and not of our race we will send a carpet bag government over there and hold that government by force from him with a standing army. We be lieve in the DeciaratiOTi of Independence, and if we have race problems to solve here we think it is better to solve them than to go seven thousand miles away from home to get another race problem and enter upon its solution, not here at home, but so far away from home as the Philippine islands are." HE WOULD LIMIT SUFFRAGE. Georgia Governor Urges that Only Taxpayer lie Permitted to Vote. ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 24. The Georgia Legislature convened to-day. The Senate was presided over by Clark Howell, elected a member from the Thirty-fifth district, and the lower House by Hon. John D. Little. In his message Governor Candler says: "In the Interest of good government, and In the Interest of the negro race I recommend that an amendment to the Constitution be submitted to the people providing for a qualified suffrage based on an educational or a property qualification or both. A man who has by integrity and frugality acquired a little home and is a taxpayer should be allowed to vote, whether he can read and write or not; but he who has for the last thirty years had the opportunities ot free schools and cannot read and write and who has had an equal chance for tho acquisition of property and yet has through Indolence or profligacy or vice failed to become a taxpayer, contributing something to the support of his State, should have no voice in making its laws." PROSPERITY BANQUET. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) nue and received an ovation. The big hall was packed, and three times, when the eloquent Indianian wanted to stop talking, the crowd declined and insisted on more of the same kind. To-night his speech is being oiscussed all around the city, and if he can be Induced to return again during the campaign some place like the Auditorium will have to be secured for the crowd which is sure to greet him. Indiana orators are deservedly popular in Chicago, and Mr. Holloway certainly added more laurels to the State, as well as to himself. Attitude of Commercial Travelers. Special ta the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. Z. The Washingten Evening Star (Independent) this afternoon published the following: "Edward II. Strong, a commercial traveler of Indianapolis, was in the city to-day. Mr. Strong has been In seventeen States since the Philadelphia convention was held and has come in contact with thousands of drummers. When seen by a Star reporter to-day Mr. Strong declared that of all the men of his calling he has seen since the renomlnatlon of McKinley only two have been outspoken Democrats. One of these Democratic drummers he met in Michigan and the other in Ohio. At Lima. O.. recently Mr. Strong .ook a poll of thirty-one orummers who were at his hotel and found twenty-nine McKinley men and two doubtful. He stated that there never was a time" when there was a better demand for firstclass traveling salesmen than to-day. und these salesmen feel that the election of Bryan would result In the stagnation of trade."

Tl'HXCI) OUT TO II HA II WILSO.V AXD WARWICK AT LEU AXON. The Demonstration Exceeded that in Honor of Col. Ilryun, and the Enthusiasm Was Tremendous. FAIRBANKS'S FINE SPEECHES ADDRESSES TO niG WABASH AXD FORT WAYNE CROWDS. Bererldge Preaches Prosperity nnd Patriotism Griffiths nt Greencastle Other State Meetings. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 24. To-day has been an eventful one in the history of Boone county politics. All afternoon the Republicans of this city and county hurrahed for their candidates, and to-night the demonstration culminated in a great meeting at the opera house, preceded by a street parade, which was witnessed by thousands. The Republicans to-night are highly gratified with the success of to-day's events. The enthusiasm that has prevailed and the size of the crowds that came out to-night, has demonstrated that even ir this stronghold of Democracy the people approve the policy of the administration and are loyal to the flag. The meeting at the opera house to-night was a fine one and was addressed by exMayor C. F. Warwick, of Philadelphia. This afternoon, at the opera house, an attentive audience listened to a fine speech by Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture. The day's programme began with a parade at noon. Two hundred veterans of the civil war led the procession, carrying at the head of their column a banner which read: "We won't pull down the flag." The Lincoln League Club, the Lebanon Cadets, the Girls' McKinley Cluh, four bands and several troops of Rough Pvlders made up the remainder of the parade. Among the floats In line was one representing a voting place In the South and depicting the words of Senator Tillman: "We do our best to keep every negro from voting." The afternoon speaking was held In the opera house and James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, was the speaker. He was heard by an audience that filled the house. Capt. Jesse Neff presided and introduced the speaker. Secretary Wilson's speech was one that appealed to the farmers, who were present in large numbers, and who listened intently to his remarks. He said he had not come to tell the people anything about politics, but that he was here rather for his health. .He said that after getting acquainted with General Lawton he had been anxious to know more of the Indiana people. The people of this country, thq speaker said, have had many object lessons during tho past eight years, and In the light of these lessons it should not be hard to indicate the wise lines along which to lead the Republic. WORK AND WORDS. Secretary Wilson, in a very effective manner, called attention to the hard times trom 1K)2 to 18', and contrasted them with the present prosperous conditions. He quoted the good prices received for farm products' in Boone county and brought home to the farmers in the audience tho material evidences of good and prosperous times. "McKinley," said tho speaker, "stands for work. Bryan stands for words. What Bryan tells that Is new Is not true. and what is true is not new. Mr. McKinley is giving us new and true things alJ the time." The speaker pointed out that Bryan condemns capitalists, merchants an 1 factory people and tells us that it Is wron? to loan our money abroad, even when we can get a higher rate of interest. Tho Pnited States pays a little more than V per cent, on its loan, while Russia, Britain, Sweden and Germany have taken our surplus money at a much higher rate. Mr. Wilson addressed a most attentive audi-, ence, and his speech was greatly appreciated by Republicans. . The big demonstration of the day took place to-night, when there was another great street parade, led by the Marion Club of Indianapolis. This organization, with the H. C. Atkins & Co. Republican Club and Drum Corps, and the First Voters' Drum Corps and Marion Club Band, came down on a special train of twelve cars, which arrived from Indianapolis a little after 8 o'clock. The Indianapolis organizations made. a fine appear ance, and were roundly cheered by the great throngs that stood in the street and watched them pass. It Is asserted that there were more people In the street tonight than were here on tho night of Bryan's visit a few weeks ago. The Bryan crowd was estimated at 12.000. People were here from all over Boone county and from adjoining counties. They came from Kirkland, Sheridan. Roaehdale and Darlington. They came from nearly every township in this county, many of them in delegations with wagons bedecked with tho national colors. The street parade that took place Just after the arrival of the special train from Indianapolis was one of the most creditable ever seen in this city. The Marion Club marchers, with their band and drum corps, attracted special attention, and the Atkins boys, with their Uncle Sam Club, were the sensation of the evening. It was 9 o'clock before the exercises at the opera house began. The theater was elaborately decorated, and the stage was particularly resplendent in bright and patriotic colors. On each side of the stage was a large portrait facing the audience. Oue was the portrait of Senator Fairbanks and the other was of Senator Beverldge. The familiar features of President McKinley were also displayed from the stage. MANY WOMEN PRESENT. It was a representative Lebanon audience that rilled the theater. Business men and workingmen sat side by side and listened to sound Republican argument. Many women were in the audience, and there were scores of pretty, well-dressed girls. In the gallery sat a delegation from the Lebanon High School, a large party of young men and women, who entertained the crowd for a while with their high school cries. C. X. Reamer, Republican chairman of Boone county, called the meeting to order, and J. J. Adams was chairman of the meeting. The Rough Riders' Glee Club of Lebanon, a quartet of young men with good voices, sang two or three songs, and were followed by more vocal music from the Girls' McKinley Club of Lebanon. Chairman Ad-, ams then Introduced Charles F. Warwick, ex-mayor of Philadelphia. Mr. Warwick was introduced as a man who came from a State that never was placed In the Doubtful column. Mr. Warwick said he had only been two days in the State, but he alleady felt at home, thanks to the genuine Indiana hospitality that seemed to prevail everywhere. "One feature about the Indiana meetings that has especially Impressed me," he said, "is the presence of the women. No one can measure the Influence of woman in politics. She exerts a deeper influence without the ballot than with it." Mr. Warwick proceeded to discuss In an exceedingly able, but brief, manner the different issues of the campaign. "If there was any reason for Bryan's defeat lour years ago," he declared, "there are unquestionably greater reasoi.s for his defeat today. He was an evil prophet four years ago. The emphatic contradictions of the prophecies he made then is.tho unexampled prosperity which prevails , now. If you could not believe Mr. Bryan, then, how can you believe him to-day? So far as his financial views arc concerned, !w is the same man to-day that he was four years ago If Bryan wants free silver he wants free trade. The Wilsen turirf bill brought souphouses. The DingJey bill has brought good times." Mr. Warwick took -up the question of trusts, meeting most effectually tho arguments of -Mr. i.yan, und closed with

a discussion of the Philippine question and the question of expansion.

FAIRBANKS AT FORT WAYNE. Delivers nn Eloquent Address nnd Receives nn OTRtlon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind.. Oct. 21. Senator Fairbanks and Colonel Durbln were given an immense ovation to-night, nearly equaling that to Roosevelt in the size of the crowd in the rink. Several hundred stood throughout tho two hours' meeting. The senator's clear analysis of Bryanism and imperialism carried every listener into sympathy with his views. He and Colonel Durbln were the guests at dinner this evening of former Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Robertson, who gave an informal reception for them after the speeches. The escort parade was nearly a mile long. Addresses nt Wabash. Freclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Oct. 24.-The last Important meeting of the campaign in Wabash county was held here by the Republicans to-day. Senator C. W. Fairbanks and Col. W. T, Durbln being the speakers. The gathering filled the opera house, which seats more than one thousand people, and many of the auditors were farmers and workingmen. Henry C. Pettit presided, and at 2 o'clock introduced Senator Fairbanks, who made an address of nearly two hours, which was listened to with the closest attention. The senator devoted much of his time to the issue made paramount by the Kansas City convention. He traced the history of the movement in the Philippines from its very Inception, showed that but for the efforts of William J. Bryan the Spanish treaty would never have been ratified, and demonstrated that the course pursued by President McKinley was the only one which a patriotic statesman could have followed. Senator Fairbanks exposed the emptiness of the Democratic charges that the administration contemplates the establishment of a large permanent army and incidentally discussed the free-silver question, which, he said, was cutting but little figure in the canvass, as the Democratic candidate was running away from it. The senator also paid a high tribute to Governor Mount. At the conclusion of Senator Falrbanks's speech Colonel Durbin spoke for half an hour on national politics, and touching briefly on state issues. The meeting was extremely enthusiastic. MIGHT MEET WITH MISHAP. Soldier Opinion Regarding; Ilrynn If He Visited Manila. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 21.-Charles RIckel, son of, John F. Dickel, prominent In G. A. R. circles, who Is a member o the Thirty-first Infantry, stationed at Zamboanga, Philippines, has written to his father, under date of Aug. 12, as follows. In -regard to the political campaign aspect of the situation in the islands: "I have been reading, during a good eleal of my spare time, about the position the Democrats have taken on the Philippine question. We are fully aware of the feeling against us, but that cuts no figure, for we are here to do our duty, and have little time for idleness, regardless of what Colonel Bryan says about it. I know tho effect the Anti-imperialists have on these barbarians. All that are in now are Tagalogs, and they are 75 per cent, worse than the most ignorant negroes in the States. If Bryan were in this country some stray bullet would overtake him. There are no political opinions with us here, and every man in the Philippines thinks it is unfair to the American people to msrepresent thng3 the way that has been done. The American soldier fully understands the position that has been taken if Bryan is elected our lives will be in the greatest oanger, for he promises Aguinaldo and his followers their independence. Then we would not have time to get away from the islands, for they would overwhelm us and massacre us. I trust that the old veterans of the war of the rebellion will stand firm once more in the, great contest.'' As One of Allen's Men Sees It. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON. Ind., Oct. 24. Noah E. Wingate, a soldier in Company I, Thirtyeighth Infantry, United States Volunteers, Captain D. F. Allen's company, serving in the Philippines, has written a letter to Edwin D. Vidito, in this county, of which the following is an extract: "Well, Ed, how is the election going in the fall? For the grand old party, I suppose at least I hope so. Of course, most of us are ready to come home, but I want our government to hold the Philippines. They should not be given up after so many of our brave boys havo elled to retain them. It Is not the thing to do. I think that out of our 10 there are at least sixty-five who would rather serve their full time, and. If necessary, die, rather than give up to these uncivilized natives. If we 'should give up now other nations would scorn us. We can't afford to do it. If this country was inhabited by Americans they would make It the garden spot of the world. We came Into possession of them properly. It may or may not have been a mistake in coming here in the first place. I will not say as to that, but we are here, and wo have the islands in our possession, and I would rather lose the last eirop of blood in my veins than to see Old Glory pulled down. This is from my heart." HAD A GUIS AT RECEPTION. John L. Griffiths nt Greenenntl In dents nnd Citizens Plcnsed. Freclal to the Indianapolis Journal. GREEN CA ST LE, Ind.. Oct. 21. John L. Griffiths addresseel a large and enthusiastic audience at the opera house this evening. Hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission.

Mr. Griffiths spoke for an hour and was enthusiastically received. The opening of the( address was directed to the students of De Pauw, and the young men of the university were demonstrative In their approval. An Interested listener was A. J. Farrow, of Putnam county, who two years ago was the Populist candidate for member of Congress from the Fifth district. Mr. Farrow is making Republican speeches this year, and with his sons will vote for McKinley. PATRIOTISM ABOVE PARTY. Former Democrats Tell Why They Are for McKinley A Love Feast. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PRINCETON. Ind.. Oct.. 24. The Air-llne Railroad Men's Republican Club, of this city, gave a banquet and love feast in the Odd Fellows' Temple Monday night. Three hundred covers were laid. The feature of the occasion was the speeches of several converts of this year among the railroad men here, who told briefly why they are affiliated this year with the Republican party in preference to the party of Bryan, which cause they had heretofore supported. Mr. E. Bogon Noble said: "Four years ago I was blind; now I can see. I was blind to the interests of myself, my family and my country. In 103 I was the only employe In the Alr-Iine tin shop here, and even then I worked but Irregularly. The loreman would place a signal in the window when he had a Job for me. Now the tin shop employs many men and we work from dark to dark, and often overtime." Mr. J. D. Day, another shop employe here, said: "I have worked for the interests of the Democratic party for thirty years, but the present campaign finds me out of the Democratic shafts and in Republican harness. When 1 read the Democratic platform this year I trembled and made up my mind that Democracy and Bryanism had become too much assimilated. Under Cleveland's administration I was In debt and my home was mortgaged. Durlntr McKlnley's administration I have paid off my mortgage and tlebts nnd have saved money. Four years ago I worked by the day at 12Vi cents per hour. Now I have regular work nt prosperity wages. My vote will be cast for McKinley on Nov. 6." Mr. F. C. Cleaver, president of the club and mester mechanic of the Air-line, was the tostmnster. Addresses wore made bv M. W. Fields. L. C. Embrtc. It. A. Wooji.

Tiny Paper for Tiny Folks Some Paper seventy members. George Harris Is president and Milton P. Ghee is secretary. Bourke Cockran spoke to an audience of 3.000 people at Terre Haute last night. There was no enthusiastic demonstration. He devoted his entire speech to imperialism and the Philippine question. Clay City Democrats turned out In goodly force Tuesday afternoon to hear Samuel Ralston, who devoted most of his speech to an attack on the Rough Rider movement In the Republican campaign. He said they carried revolvers and knives, cut up their horses with spurs and were patterned after Roosevelt "who is worse than Jesse James." Ralston's tirade had the effect of diminishing the attendance at the night meeting, when T. J. Hudson spoke. BRYAN SCORED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) grew a trifle facetious in dealing with some of Mr. Bryan's statements. He said in part: "In a speech two or three weeks ago Mr. Bryan expressed great resentment at the fact that certain people took their families to the seashore and presumably bathed there. He said that only rich people did lt. I wish he could come to Coney island some summer, and he would find there tens of thousands of people whom he would not call rich, .who are enabled and have been enabled during tho past four years to go down to the seashore for a day with their wives and little ones. Now, if Mr. Bryan Is elected. It won't bring to the seashore one man, woman or child who does not now go, but It will keep some I am tempted to say hundreds of thousands from going who go now. That Is what it will do. It won't give anybody a better chance. It will give everybody a worse chance." At Casenovia, Governor Roosevelt devoted himself to a discussion of points excited by remarks made by Mr. Bryan concerning our foreign loans. He said, in part: "I want to call your attention to Just one or two points. This is the home of the Democratic ex-secretary of the treasury. Charles S. Fairchild. Mr. Fairchild is with us this trip, because, In the first place, he believes In honest money, and, furthermore, he believes in civic honesty generally, in orderly liberty under the law. I was told there were one or two Republicans here who were shaky about free silver, and It was suggested that it might be well for me to say something on the silver question to them. I will not. If any human being, after the experience of the last four years, Is capable of still believing that free silver would bring anything but ruin, tempered by free soup, to the country, there is no argument that will reach him. That type of man can only be reached by being put through the grinding mill of adversity, as he would be put if Bryan came In and we had free silver. It would be a good thing for him, but, unfortunately, we would have to go through it with him. HOW MONEY IS LOANED. "Now. the other day Mr. Bryan said, in substance, that there was talk about our lending money to Europe, and then asked who In the audience had lent any money to Europe. Of course, the money Is not lent that way. I know that Mr. Bryan Is not well acquainted with financial methods, either governmental or private, but I think he must know more about them than that question would imply. Where money is loaned, as It has recently been loaned to the German government, for Instance, It Is not loaned by any of us as private citizens, but it is loaned by the big institutions which get their money from its private citizens. For instance, these big foreign loans will be taken by insurance companies, savings banks, which get their money from their policy holders or depositors, money which we and those like us, put in. Wre deposit money in a savings bank and get a rate of interest for It. The savings banks don't keep that money for the purpose of keeping it idle. If they had to do that they would refuse to accept it or to pay any interest to us on it. It is the same way with the Insurance companies, when we take out policies, the money we put in is not kept in. One great insurance company of New York has recently taken a large part of that German loan. Now they are able to give us interest on savings banks deposits and K)llcy premiums owing to the Investments they make, and the fact that they loan our money abroad. In the first instance. Is to the benefit of the big company or savings bank that lends it, and It Is ultimately to the advantage of every one of us, because upon that being done depends. In part, what that savings bank or company can offer us in return. "Since 1896 the total amount of savings .bank deposits in this State have gone up from seven hundred odd millions to close on a thousand millions, and the number' of savings bank depositors have increased nearly S34 per cent., nearly four men being able to deposit their earnings In a savings bank, as compared with three in 1856. That is one of the things that goes up with prosperity that makes it possible to lend money across the water instead of, borrowing it. When we lend money to Germany it means not only that ultimately that money will come back to this country, but, in the meanwhile, interest is paid for its hire, ana we receive money from across the wate, instead of being, as when we were a debtor nation, paid by us to the other side. "Mr. Bryan seems unable to learn that the prosperity of each of us depends very largely on the prosperity of all. Tako the farmer. Four years ago you had Just as good a season as you now have, but you did not get as much money for your crops, although you raised the same crop as now, simply because no one could buy them. There were not as many people who cov:d afford to buy them. The farmer Is prosperous only when prosperity comes to all and the people can afford to buy his crops." LINCOLN UNLIKE BRYAN. The train was greeted at Canastota by the largest crowd of the day, nnd for the first time to-day the Governor alighted from his car and went on a stand that had been erected. He picked up several of Mr. Bryan's remarks made a week or so ago. He said: "Mr. Bryan is reported to have said here in your town the other day that the Republican party no longer remained true to the principles of Lincoln. Now. as Mr. Bryan has tald that, I want you to look back upon what they stood for in the days of Abraham l-ineoln. They stood for eual rights to Americans. We stand for that now, but. unlike Mr. Bryun, v,e stand for it in North Carolina aa well as In Nebraska. Economically Mr. Lincoln stood for the payment In full, to the last cent, of the national debt. Mr. -Bryan believes In cutting in two the national debt by cutting In two the national honor. We believe In a protective tariff, as Abraham Lincoln did when he signed the protective tariff. Mr. Bryan ha9 championed a modified form ot free trade. Abraham Lincoln

We have put under McKinley one hundred thousand men to repress the rebellion of Malay bandits, led by a syndicate of unspeakably cruel Chinese halfbrceds. We stand as Lincoln stood. Mr. Bryan. Vallandigham and others of his kind stood and denounced Lincoln as a tyrant, a would-be Emperor; said that the men who wore the blue uniform were striking the shackles off the slaves to rivet them on tht wrists of free men. What single policy of Lincoln can Mr. Bryan point to that we are not upholding?" The train was a trifle late at Oneida, and the Governor was asked by those In charge of it to cut his remarks short. When he saw the crowd that greeted him he refused to do it, saying that he was going to take the twenty minutes allowed him to talk to such an intelligent audience. Ha dwelt at great length on the trusts and Mr. Bryan's attitude, assuring his auditors that If Mr. Brj-an's theory of an open market was put In practice it would result In two-thirds of tho laboring interest ia Oneida being thrown out of work. He touched briefly on militarism, using his former argument of the small proportion of soldiers to the civilians. At Rome a huge crowd gathered In the public square and the Governor addressed tt from the balcony, t which he was driven from the train. Two crowds of small boys followed his carriage, those on one side shouting "Hurrah for Bryan!" while those on the other side tried to drovm their." cheers with counter cheers for McKinley. While the Governor was speaking a crowd of Juveniles who had gathered immenliately beneath the Governor kept trying t annoy, him by their boisterous conduct. The Governor finally referred to them, saying: "It Is perfectly characteristic that thoss who are afraid to hear the truth should try to drown It by noise, and that those who art afraid to talk themselves should send children of Immature age to yell for them." "DISREPUTABLE." The boys continued their cries of "Ilur rah for Bryan!" "What's the matter with Brjan?" "He's all right!" and again the Governor said: "One thing. If Mr. Bryan should come here again I ask that every Republican give him a respectful hearing.' which remark was loudly applauded. Con tlnuing when the applause ceased, ho said: "Because the man or boy who takes the opposite course shows himself cither to be or about to be a thoroughly disreputable citizen." The Governor said It was eminently proper that advocates of Mr. Bryan should seek by disorder to prevent free speech, and called attention to the disorder as being an object lesson of greater value than he could preach. Some men In the crowd tried to ask the Governor a list of prepared questions in printed form. He never heard them because the noise was too great In the men't vicinity, but several of the circnlars were Hung into the carriage which the Governor occupied on tils return trom the platform. He said to the AESoclatf.d Press reporter that he would not discuss them and that the majority of them were for the attorney; general to make answer to if ho desired.' Here are the questions: "First Why did you not prosecute the canal thieves as you promised when you were a candidate for Oovernor? "Second Why did you not commence action before the claims were barred? "Third Why don't you have a summons If sued against the Ice trust? The only way to commence an action I by summons. None has ever been served. "Fourth Why don't- you remove tho mayor of New York for his connection with the ice trust? "Fifth You have lecn only thirty-six hours at the Capitol attending to business since June 1. Do you think it honest to take full pay during that time? "Sixth-Don't you think a candidate for Vice President should Und courteous language to express his thoughts and not call his questioners 'hoodlums 'hoboes' and Virunks' and without any knowledge on tho subject, accuse them of 'working their mouths,' 'standing against tho flag and 'lacking in patriotism.' "Seventh Why not give out for publica tlcn Mayor Van Wyck's answer in which It H claimed members of your State administration and Senator Piatt are charged with being particeps criminls in the ice trust scandal?" RUBBED IT IN Third Time Won. "Last Christmas I took dinner with a minister's family in New Haven, and al though the spread was elaborate and appetizing, nothing was so heartily held up an J applauded as a little saucer of GrapoNuts food, standing by the minister's plate. He said: 'I have taken medicine after medicine, but nothing has brought relief to body and brain like this food.' "His wife echoed the sentiments and said she could never teil how much brighter and braver she had been since the advent of Grape-Nuts Into her home. "A week later I called to see a widow who had a broken arm. I exacted to find her disconsolate, but to my surprise, was greeted with cheerful smiles. Well, I said, 'how is this? I expected to find you in tho elepths of despondency.' 'Oh. no." she said, "I could not cook very well with a broken arm, but with a little hot milk added to a few spoonsful of Grape-Nuts, I get a most delicious meal that builds up my strength by the wholesale "This was the second time I had seen Grape-Nuts In the character of a public benefactor. Before night I received my third glimpse of Grape-Nuts, when calling on a little child who had burned her hand. Her mother was Just preparing u saucer of strawberries and ('rape-Nuts food. 'Do you like It?' sail 1. 'Oh. don't IV sail the child. 'It's so good It mo makes m lorgct my burns "Now 1 elecloeel I must have some (IrnpeNuts myfelf. for if it was good for tired brain and burns and broken arms, it surely ought to bentiit my broken nerves; so 1 had a package sent up to the house and have had some Grape-Nuts every morning for breakfast since, with thla re-u!t that nature's sweet restorer, balmy slovp. ran back to mc. my nerves somehow injetej oown and life took on a difforent aspect. The Old Ured, sleepy feeling has gone and the air stems charged with bouyaiicy. "I can as easily walk ten blocks as e.nr. difficult duties are easily iiccoinpüshcj utid all the burdens of life arc lightened by the astonishing- power of gx.l nnd woll selected food. I havo taken no mediclr.i during this time, therefore I enn only attribute th agreeable chango to the st.rs help that comes dally from the v v of this remarkable food."
