HANNA ANALYZES BRYAN’S ACCEPTANCE. The Democratic Leader Again Switches His Issue. Bryan and Brynniam Punctured nt an Enthnalaatic Meeting Held at the Commercial McKinley Club in Chicago. Three thousand people tried to crowd iuto the quarter* of tho McKinley Com mercial Club in Chicago, Sept. 1H, to *ee and hear Senator Hanna. On that occa sion Senator Hanna made the following apeech: I take for my text Mr. Bryan’* view* on the minor iasues of the campaign as act forth in hi* letter of acceptance pub imbed to-day. Ju»f iiefore the Democrat ic convention at Kniian* City many pil grimage* were made to Lincoln, Neb., by Democratic in Unions rlea at the urgent call of Mr. Bryan. This was for the pur po*o of putting Bryan'* pet scheme of free silver in the platform. But, If you remember correctly, that la *u« waa only placed in the platform by a majority of one vote of the committee. Now liryau ha* relegated the allver laaue to the rear, and brings out imperialism a* the chief issue. Bryan gained this issue when tlie treaty waa made with Spain in which the Philippine lalumla were pur chased. lie went to Washington and by hia own Influence forced certain Demo cratic Senator* to adopt the treaty, in order that the Democratic party might hght against it In tlx- coming campaign. That prove* that Bryan him not the cour age to stand by his own convictions. Hryaa'a letter apeak* of truata. Yet he doe# not mention the ice truat or tin- cot tou bale truat. In the latter Senator Jonc* is heavily interested. Every one Knows the atory of the Ice truat. Aa [Bryan declare* that the truat la one of the main Ihmiicn of this campaign, I can say that \?e are ready to meet him on thut (proposition aa well a* on any other. Hanna's Relations with Labor, Bryan al»r> makes much ado concern In* the conflict between capitil und or ganlzed labor. For myself, I have this to say: I was the first man III Ohio to rec ognize organized lalsir. It was in 1871, when i was in the coal business in t'leve laud, Ohio. John Kenney and John Janies, President and Secretary of the first bitu Bullions coal minora* organization in the (United Ktates, called upon me and stated ftliat the minora had organized Into a •union. Aa I was a lending coal operator, the two gentlemen urged me to use my infill ♦nee iu oi'gnufzlng the operators. That rwas my first experience with u trust. 1 organized the operators in the district iu which I wus interested, and during my entire experience there we never hud a ■trike or trouble of any kind, i I want to make this statement here, ,once and for all, ill reply to ull these charges and insinuation* witli reference to my aspect toward labor: If any man In the United Ktates of America can tiring into my presence a man who has giver worked for me and truthfully state fend substantiate that I have refused to fncet at any time and anywhere any man Bu my employ, that I hnviywcr intention ally done any man a harm, that I have ever insisted on lowering wage* to any ■nan who works for me, or who can truth fully say that I have done evil to him, I will resign from the United Ktates Mcuutc to-morrow. (Orest applause.} I made the proposition in 1SP7 I have found no takers, and it is still open. (Laughter and applause.) • Republican Party Against Trusts. Now, then, about this trust question, a few words more. I would like to have Mi. Hryau or any other Democrat tell inc ■what n trust is. 1 don’t believe there is ,a trust iu the United Ktates, for every iHtatc law and national law will destroy any trust that comes within its Jurisdic lion; and the only laws, Ktate and un ttonal, that have ever been put upon stat site books were enacted by the Uepuh Ucau party. (A voice—Never enforced.I Y«s, they are enforced. (Voice*—Put him out I No, don't put him out. I don't want to put anybody out. (A voice— II* is s good Democrat; he shoots iu th< rear I \V- have no objections to tbc Denm era tie party being opposed to trusts, but ■they bare got no patent oil it. (Laugh iter 1 tlrvan’a Policy for Philippine*. ^ Now, then, one word more with refer ence to the poaitiou of Mr. liryan upon thia Philippine question and it has la-eii pro thoroughly exploded that l won’t men tiou it except in passing.

Whoever heard of such a thing? The Monroe doctrine is founded purely and simply on the determination on tiie part of the government of the United Stntes that no foreign country should in terfere in the western hemisphere. Mr. Bryan would do what? Spread it all over the world and we would stand behind and defend it. What do you call that if it isn’t imperialism? As a result of that procedure w# would find ourselves in volved In ail kinds of foreign wars. (A voice—That is right.) That is true—ami yet Mr. Bryan is for peace. He was for peace when he resigned from the army and he has been for peace ever since. I am for pence. I'm a Quaker. I am for peace, but not peace at nny price. I am not for peace, and I know that the ma jority of the people of this country are not for pence, with that brigand Agui nuldo ns long as he is hiding in the bushes and shooting down from ambush our boys in blue. (Applause.) Bryan Swltchca Issues. But Mr. Bryan has already been driven from his position on Imperialism. lie knows now what many of us knew in tie* beginning—that it was only one rooster that lie was going to put in tiie pit, and he would light it ns long as lie could. Now ho has got ins last gamecock. Trust, ami that goes into the pit for tiie next thirty duys, and the Republican purty will lie prepared to meet him on all such questions, and if I bad (lie time and voice and opportunity I would like to speak to every laboring man in the United States upon that question; because in warning the laboring people of this country against this huge monster, the trusts, in the mime breath he says that the Itingley bill Is the ineuhntor of trusts. Now, we are getting to know where we stand with the laboring people when we come to the tariff, and we won't allow him to evade tiie issue that he lias made on the bald proposition that tiie protect ive tariff principle goes band In hand with trusts. We keep the protective tariff principle there and we will furnish our own definition for trusts. I say we are at home on that proposition because we have at the bead of our national ticket that great advocate of protection, Will iam McKinley; because in him we have the lies) friend of tin* United States; anti tbare isn’t a laboring man in the city of Chicago, or in the State of Illinois, or in the United Suites, who knows anything about public affairs, who knows anything about the career of President McKinley, that does not know frmn actual proof tiie fact that during his whole public life he is the only nmn that tiie workingmen of litis country always felt at liberty to call upon to support their interests, and he never failed them. And lie is just ns much their friend to-day as he was fifteen years ago. Ilryun and the I,shoring Men. And now let me ask what has W. J. Bryan done for the workingmen of this country? (A voice; "Nothing." An other voice: "Yea, he charged n* half u dollar to hear him talk.”) Not a thing. fame near aaying damn. Not n thing, ffia career in public life la available to every man. Ilia abort service was mark ed and made conspicuous by hia opposi tion to tile tariff bill. And wliat has in done since to show any particular inter eat in the working people of this country? lie tells them what he would do. il*> Is prolific- in promises, rosy in painting the picture ns to what would be the result of Ins administration, but 1 charge you. workingmen, turn nwny from that picture and look upon the other; and the other is McKinley. Do not let us take any promise from any candidate or any man whose whole record lias shown tlmt his overawing am bition is to be President of the United States. He w-ill ri'le any issue, he w-ill i limb on to any platform that is made for him. he will preach any doctrine, he will even abuse me to tie President of the United States. Most Imimrtimt Issues. Now, bringing these issues home to each and every individual, I want to bring them there because I expect and I know that every man who goes to the polls on -Ic-c-tiou day having heard the arguments u the case, having considered how the de rision of these issues will twiir upon his personal interests and those of his family, will cast that ballot intelligently in his own interest and not in Mr. Bryan's. But there is a further responsibility which comes to every uiun and to every woman who eau influence u man. I say that the- importance of the issues in tins campaign at this time and under tliese conditions is greater tnou ever lie fore Id the history of our country. I say so because I believe it, because I know ihat any reversing of the present policy of the ailniiiiistration of this government, any change in that administration, would tiring about a condition of things iu tin hitsincss and industrial interests of thi* country that would dwarf the flood and •dorm at lialvc.tiin it would mean u bur ricane that would carry before it every interest, it would be a flood that would ingulf the property and the material in lerest* of every man, woman and child that enjoys the present pru»i>erity.

Htate Might*. During all these years the Democratic party lias resisted the tendency of seltish interests to the centralization of govern mental power, and steadfastly maintain ed the integrity of the dual scheme of government established by the founders of this republic or republics. Under its guidance and teachings the great princi ple of local self-government lias found its best expression in the maintenance of the rights of the Ktates and in its as sertlon of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of the powers granted by tile Constitution of the United Ktates. The Money Question. Recognizing that the money system is paramount to all other* at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the Federal Constitution name* silver and gold together as the money metals of the Fnited States, und that the first coinage law passed by Congress under the Con stitution made the silver dollar the mon etary unft, arid admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver dollar unit. We declare that the act of 1873 demon etizing silver without the knowledge or approval of the American jienple has re sulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices of com modities produced by the people; a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts, public and private; the enrich* merit of the money holding classes at home and abroad; prostration of indus try and impoverishment of the people. We ale unalterably opposed to gold monometallism, which lias locked fast rtie prosperity of an industrial people in itie paralysis of hard times, tiold mono* metallism is a RritUh policy, and its adoption has brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-Amcrican. but anti American, ami it can be fastened on the Fnited States only by the sliding i# that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed out independence in 177*1 and won it in the war of tire Revolution. Free (silver. We demand tire free nnd unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the present legal ratio of lti to 1, without waiting for tire aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall he a full legal tender, equally with gold, for ail debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for tire future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and prac tice of surrendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States tire option reserved by law to the government nf redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or gold coin. ImitkI I Mane*. We nre opposed to the issuing of inter ext-hearing bonds of the I'nited States in lime of peace, ami condemn the traf ticking with banking syndicates which, in exchange for bonds and at an enor mous profit to themselves, supply the Federal treasury with gold to lusiutain the policy of gold monometallism. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and 1’resident Jackson declared that this power could not be del egatixl to corporations or individuals. We therefore demand that the pi vver to issue notes to circulate sx money t>c taken from the national baukx. and that all paper money shall !»• issued directly try the Treasury 1 icpnrtim-tit, lie redeemable In coin, snd receivable for all debts, public and private. Tsrltf for itrvtnur, We hold that tile tariff duties should be levied for purposes of revenue, such dli fey to be so adjusted us to Operate <*|0ul Sv throughout the country and not dis criminate between class or section, and that taxation should t>e limited hy the needs of the government honestly and • 4 ortiHHieally administered.

We hold that the moat efficient way to protect American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious monetary system, which depresses the price of their pro ducts below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of the means of pur chasing the products of our home manu facture. Congressional A pprnprintlons. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from the people by op pressive taxation and the lavish appro priations of recent Republican Con gresses, which have kept taxes high, while the labor that pays them is unem ployed, and the products of the peoples toil are depressed in price until they no longer repuy the cost of production. We demand u return to that simplicity and economy which best befit a Democratic government and a reduction in the num ber of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the people. Federal Interference, We denounce arbitrary Interference by Federal authorities in local affairs us a violation of the Constitution of the Unit ed States and a crime against free insti tutions, and we especially object to gov ernment by injunction as a nov and high ly dangerous form of oppression, by w hich Federal judges, in contempt of the laws of the States and rights of citizens, ^ become at once legislators, judges and ex ecutioners, and we approve the bill pitss ed at the lust session of the United States Senate, and now pending in the House, relative to contempts in Federal courts, and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt, I'acillc I milling Kill. No discrimination should be indulged by the government of the United States in favor of any of its debtors. We ap prove of the refusal of the Fifty-third Congress to pass the Pacific Railroad funding lull, and denounce the effort of the present Republican Congress to eii act a similar iiicusiire. Pensions. iircogiiizlng the just claims of deserv ing Union soldiers, we heartily indorse tlie rule of the preseut Commissioner of i'elisions tiiat no uuiues shall he arbi trarily dropped from the pension roll, und the fact of an enlistment and ser vice should lie deemed conclusive evi dence against disease or disability before enlistment. t libs. We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heroic struggle for lib erty and independence. The Civil Service. We are opposed to life tenure in the public service. We favor appointments based on merit, fixed terms of office, and such an administration of the civil ser vice laws as will afford equal opportuni ties of all citizens of ascertained bluetts. No 'I bird Term. We declare it to be the unwritten luw of this republic, established by custom 1 and usage of oue hundred years, and -auctioned by the examples of the great est aud wisest of those who founded aud have maintained our government, that no man should la- eligible for a third term of tin- presidential office. Corporate Wealth. The absorption of wealth by the few, tin- consolidation of our leading railroad systems, and formation of trusts and pools require a stricter control by the Federal government of those arteries of commerce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission, und such restrictions aud guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppression. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of the terri tories of New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as States, and we favor the ittrly admission of ail the territories giv ing the necessary population und re -ources to entitle them to statehood, aud while they remain territories we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, togeth er with the District of Columbia aud \iasktt, should be bona tide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to lie performed. The Demo ■ratic [tarty believes in home rule aud tliut all public lands of the United States should be appropriated to the establish ment of free homes for American citi zens. We recommend that the territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in Con giess, and that tlie general laud and tim ber laws of the United States he ex tended to sutd territory. >1 pin Ktvcr ImtiriivcBirnti.
