Asked to deflno a trust, Mr. Bryan eaid: "A trust, as the word is now used, Is intended to mean a private mo nopoly; and a monopoly is a combina tion of capital that controls so large a proportion of any given product as to bo able to fix its price, and the tonus upon which it is sold. Tho merit of tho Kansas City platform, upon tho trust question, is that it strikes at privato monopolies without hurting any legitimate industry. And it will bo found that much of tho op position that is seemingly directed at tho money plank of the Kansas City platform is actually directed at tho anti-trust and labor planks." Regarding his southorn trip, Mr. Bryan said: "On my trip south I am arranging to have public meetings in some of tho larger cities, and I give my lec ture in some of tho smaller ones. The public meetings aro intended to fur nish an opportunity for tho presenta tion of what " bellovo to bo the moral issues involved in our present presi dential controversy, following the lino I pursued in tho Now York speech."

Mr. Bryan did not introduce his morality issue as a side line, but he boldly and clearly laid down his thesis that it was the first and para mount issue in every subject. The money question, the trust question the labor question, and international politics all these should be weighed first in the ethical balance, and set tled according to the moral standards, before they can be fairly adjudicated by the American people.
