If our political enemies doubt fora moment Bryan's drawing power , they should at tend cne of his meetings. The little city of O'Neill was simply full to overflowing , and hundreds were forced to leave without hearing Nebraska's great commoner , although the address took place in the open air. After paying the people of O'Neill and Holt county well deserv ed compliments , Mr. Bryan began his speech by saying that he re garded a political party as he did a-'coat so long as jt protects one it should be worn , and when it ceases to fill that function it should be cast aside. Proceeding upon this assumption he showed that the republican party is full of holes , and should be worn no longer. He then proceeded to argue republicanism republicans , and asked the latter to gaze upon the toboggan slide ivhich runs from Abraham Lincoln , the martyr president , to Marcus Ilanna , the present leader of the republican party. Taking up the question of revenue , he announced himself as be ing eternally in favor of an income rather than a stamp tax as means of raising revenue. ( At this juncture he was interrupted by some republican who wanted to know why he didn't go to Cuba. Instead ot being rattled by "this irrelevant question , Bryan courteously volun teered the information that at the beinnnin of the war he volunteered O O his services to a republican president , and had not yet received reply to his offer. Later he offered himself to the governor , raised his regi ment , and served with it until the end of the war , or the signing of the treaty of peace , which was accepted. This he said he did because he thought the people of this country in more danger than the people of Cuba. In conclusion he remarked : "I nad five months of peace in the army , and I have had nine months of war since 1 left it./ ' ) _ \ C Taking up his discourse , he showed the inequality of our present system of taxation , when all the poor man's" visible wealth , property furniture , live stock , etc. , is taxed , and the rich man's invisible wealth stocks , bonds , notes and mortgages , escaped Proceeding to the pro tective tariff , its injustice was also shown : Tariffs are levied upon the things we use , consume or wear ; the man worth $1,000.000 does not consume one thousand times as much as the man worth $1,000 hence our boast that this government is supported by the people in accordance with their wealth is untrue. In. conclusion Jie saij. .that he expected to see the day "when the constitution will specifically authorize the income tax so that neither , one judge nor nine judges can build a bulwark around the fortunes of the great and place the burdens of government upon the backs of the struggling poor. " Next came the money problem , and the speaker apologized for talking about a subjer-t which had been killed and buried so often by the republicans but expressed his belief that it would prove to be a very lively corpse in 1900. The republicans would rather attend a funeral than a debating society upon this question , but he intends sticking to it until the fate of this nation is settled and its financial independence is declared. Quoting McKinley's words that Cleveland had tried to make money scarcer , and therefore dearer , he claimed that since McKinley was elected he had been following exactly in the footsteps of his predecessor. Asking republicans if they thought the gold standard a blessing , he wanted to know then why the president sent a commission to Europe for the purpose of obtaining permission to let go of the blessing. Many people believed that the' rise in the price of wheat last year was due to McKinley , whereas the raise was caused by speculation at home and short crops abroad. If McKinley raised the price , why didn't he keep it up ? Speaking of the attempt of the bankers to reti-e the greenbacks he said he was in favor of the banks going out of the governing bust ness , and the government going into the banking business. ' If the re publican plan is carried out the government will issue 2i per cent gold bonds , the banks will , buy these bond ? , deposit thorn with the U. S. treasurer , issue the face value in banknotes , and draw interest on the bonds , too. Naturally the spcaker next touched upon trusts , and said that the only power that can adequately cope with these arch enemies of the people is the federal government , and emphatically claimed that wjtli the laws now on our statute books the attorney general could suppress the trusts , if he so desired. Then came imperialism , and Bryan warned his hearers against the dangers of a large standing army , saying that it will be easier to increase the army to 200,000 from 100,000 , than it now is to increase , s it from 25.000 to 100.000. Paying a plowing _ tribute to the citizen * i/ c ? u / soldiery he said that in them lay the nation's sure defense , not in the standing army , and then he'quoted from an interview with Marcus Ilairha , when the latter , comparing England vith the United States said that this country lacks stability Speaking of the Philippines he said there should be no distinction between1 them and Cuba. Each should be free , and if we gave the Filipinos the same assurances that we had given the people nearer home , the war would be ended with out delay. There are but two sources of government force and oon- sent ; we should Always gover by consent , and it is because we have violated this principle that we are now in trouble , and congress should sider the benefits , and who will get them. Second is the argument for Christianity , but a gatling gun gospel will never convert the Fil ipinos. _ r _ A. _ _ rr _ , _ _ 0. _ .v . . two points upon the assembled thousands , 'viz1 : The republican party' ' places the dollar above the man , and because congress" attends to all ( these matters , Judge Neville should be elected. . _ . . . - ] f A" 4I , , & & ' - , jf&xC&rV * r-Steuc * & * * & * . * rKSVis * WE AEE AGENTS Busby Gloves , Douglas Shoes , , .
