TTTE OMAHA DAILY F1UDAV , OCTOHJ3II 2JJ , 1800. Ingnem to accept In full return the ponce , protection nnd opportunity which It Impartially - partially beslows. Not moro surely do the rulM of honesty nnd good fnlth fix the standard of Indi vidual character In n community than do thcso same rules determine- charneter nnd standing of a nation In the world of civilization. Neither the slitter of Its power , nor the tinsel of Its commercial prosperity , nor the gaudy show of Its pee ple's wealth fin conceal tin cankcrtni' rust of national dishonesty ami cover the mean ness of national bnd faith. A constant stream of thoughtful. ediicnU-d men should come from our universities nnd colleges teaching national honor nnd IntrRrlty nnd teaching that n belief In the npcesHliy of na tional obedience to the lawn of God Is not born of supcrstltlor. I do not forget iho practical necessity of political parties , nor ilo I deny their d slr- ability. I recognize wholesome differences nf opinion touching legitimate govern mental policies nnd would by no means control or limit the utmost freedom In their discussion. I have only attempted to miRgcsl the Important patriotic service which our InsMtutloim of higher education and their graduates nre fitted to render to our people In the enforcement of these Immutable truths nnd fundamental prin ciples which nto rehitnl to our national condition , but should never be dragged Into the field of political strlfo nor Impnssed Into thn service of partisan contention. When the excitement of party warfare presses dangerously near our national safe guards I would have thn Intelligent con servatism of our universities nnd colleges warn thn contestants In Impressive tones ngalnst the perils of a breach Impossible to repair. When popular discontent nnd passion are stimulated bv the nrtH of designing parti sans to n pitch perilously ne.ir to cla. s haired or iwrilnnnt anger I would have our universities and colleges cotind the alarm In the name of American brotherhood and fraternal dtpcndenee CANNOT CI1ANGK NATURAL LAWS. When the -iltempt Is made to delude the people Into the belief that their suffrages can change the operation of natural laws 1 would have our universities nnd colleges proclaim that Ihone laws are Incxoiablc and far removed from political control. When sclll- Interest seeks undue private benellt through governmental aid and pub lic place1 * are claimed IIB reward of party service I would have our universities nnd colleites persuade the peonli ; to a rclln- qulHhment nf the demand for party spoils and exhort them to a disinterested and patriotic love of their government for Its own sake and because In Its true adjust ment nnd unperverted operation It secures to every citizen his Just sham of the safety nnd prosperity It holds In store for nil , Whnn a dc.disn Is apparent to lure the cople ! from their honest thoughts and to .illnd their eyes to the sad plight of national dishonor and bad faith I would have Prince ton university , pann-tllcd In her patriotic traditions nnd glorious memories , and joined hy all the other unlverHilos nnd colleges of our land , cry out against the Infliction of thin treacherous and fatal wound. I would have the Influence of these Institutions on the side of religion and morality. I would Imvo thofo they send out among the people not ashamed to acknowledge nod and to proclaim Ills Inter position In the affairs of men , enjoining such obedience to Ills laws as makes mani fest the p.uh of national perpetuity and prosperity . . . I hasten to concede the peed already ac complished by our educated men In purify ing nnd steadying political sentiment , but I hope I may be allowed to Intimate my belief thnt their work In these directions would bo easier nnd more useful If It were less spasmodic nnd occasional. The dlspo- nltlon of our people Is such that while they may bo Inclined to distrust those who only nn rnrp ocermloim come among them from an excluslveness savoiliu ; of assumed su periority , they readily listen to those who exhibit n real followsiili ) and a friendly and habitual Interest lit nil that concerns the common welfare. Such a condition of Inti macy would. I believe , not only Improve < ho general political atmo'phero , but would vastly Increase the Inllucncu of our uni versities nnd colleges In their efforts to prevent popular delusions or coirect them before they reach an acute and dangerous P1 am certain , therefore , that n more con- ntnitt nnd active participation In polltlc.il affairs on the part of our men of education would bo of the greatest possible value to our country. It Is e.\ceedlngly unfortunate thnt politics nhould be regarded In any quarter 113 an unclean thing , to ho nvoldrd by these claiming to be cdiicnted or re- jmcctablo , It would bo Btninge Indeed If anything retried to thn administration of our government or the welfare of our na tion should be essentially deanidlng. I be lieve It Is not n Hupor.itltloim nonUmcnt that IcadH to the conviction that ( Sod has watched over our national llfo from Us beginning. Who will uny. that the things worthy of Ciod'H regard und fostering care nro unworthy of the touch of the wisest nnd best of men ? I would Jinyo lliosii > ( out Inniir - unlveTBltleTt colleges not only lite counsellors of their fellow country , men , but the tribunes of the people-fully appreclatliiK every condition that presses upon their dally life , sympathetic In every tintownrd situation , qulclc and rarneot In every effort to advance their happiness and welfare , nnd prompt and ntunly In the defense of all their rights. I have but Imperfectly expressed the thoughts to which I have not bivit able to deny utterance on nn occasion so full of glad significance , and HO pervaded by the ntinosphero of patriotic nnplratlon. Horn of these Riirroundlni : , thu hopes should not hn vnltv. thnt the tlmo Is nt hand when nil our countrymen will more deeply nppreclato the blepslnsa of American citizenship , when their disinterested love of their novernmcnt will bo quickened , when fanaticism nnd passion shall be ban ished from thu field of politics , nnd when nil our people , discarding every difference of condition or opportunity , \\lll Iw seen under the banner of American brotherhood , marching .steadily and unfalteringly on to ward thu blight heights of our national destiny.

IIAUTB. Ind. , Oct. 22. The Ih'dt- ana committee evidently does not Intend to allow William J. Uryan to keep very far behind his record as n Bpcechmnkcr on this rip through Hooalerdom. Nineteen speeches vero made In the. twrnty-four hours ending at midnight last nl < ? ht , nnd today Hcventeen wcro on iho Itinerary. The Ili-rtt speech of the morning was at Jecntur shortly after 8 o'clock. Several housnnd people listened to Mr. Hryan for more than a quarter of on hour , and the icoplo who heard him did not hesitate to ; lvo bo'alerous approval or his utterances. The crowd was made up for the most part of farmers , and Mr. Bryan's speech was one for farmers. Ho told them that farmers if no country had ever endorsed the gold Etnndard , and called attention to the meet- ng of agriculturists some time ago In lluda- Pcst , where bimetallism wns endorsed and greetings were rent to blmetalllsts of Amcr- ca. He- quoted from the address of Prince Illsmarck to the farmers n jcar ago. In which he said the farmers must stand to gether nnd protect themselves from the Ironcs of oocloty who produce nothing but laws. Market was not down on the bills for a speech , but a stop was made there and Mr. llryan spoke for five minutes. Ki ? was taken from the ear to n stand at Ilunllngton nnd spoke to a crowd which numbered up Into the thousands , and which wns evi dently moro to his way of thinking than some of the crowda of yesterday. The public square In front of the court house at Ilochcster was well filled with crowded humanity when Mr. Hrynn arrived there. It wns a frco silver crowd , nnd the people who were yellow badges looked lonesome. QUOTIJS PROF. LAUOI1LLV. Mr. Hrynn spoke at a barbecue at Peru , where ho quoted Prof. Laughlln's deilnltlnn : "An honest dollar would bo a dollar whoso nverago put chasing power would bo the same yesterday , today nnd forever. " Prof Laughlln also declared In his hook on bi metallism that If Justlco Is dcfclrcd In long tlmo contracts , you cannot expect exact Ju ' lice from cither Iho gold ntftiulard or from Ulmotalllsm , and Mr. Bryan said : "Ho I * rluhL "i\'o. do , not reach oxaot hoiioaty In Iho dollar. " At Delphi , Mr. Bryan refuted the charge ot ex-President Harrison , fhat when he spoke of those who had been saving the coun try for thirty years nt so much per save , lie alluded to the old veterans. Frankfort nnd Lafnyotto turned out large crowds to hear the silver doctrine. At Drawfordsvllle Mr. Bryan made a sensation by replying , fiom n platform erected within a few yards of the homo of General Low Wallace , to the general's speech made some tlmo ago. In which he alluded to Bryan as an anarchist , lie said : "There Is nothing In thu platform upon which I stand that Justifies the chars ? No man Is afraid th.it If I nm elected president I will not enforce the la\v. < of this nation There Is no man living beneath our ling who Is a better friend or firmer believer In our form of govern ment than I am. It Is true that I am a young man , but , my friends , I want to as sert here with all the emphasis that I can command that 1 am' ' as good a friend of our government aye I will say that I am n better friend of American Institutions than any man who declares that foreign credi tors must run our country. Standing upon a pltlform. which declares In favor of nn American dollcr for the American pcopje , I put my patriotism ngalnst the patriotism of ( itncral Lew Wallace , or. against the patriotism of any other man on earth who endorses the republican platform. " MENTIONS. MR. HIDPATII. A short stop of ten minutes was made at Ladoga and at Rlclulale and the nominee appeared on the back platform and excused hlnifiolf from making a speech by saying that thn nominee for congress. Mr. Rldpath , hiid spoken during the day and consequently It was not necc'anry for him to sceak. At Greencantlo , the next stop , Mr. Bryan was received by a crowd of several thou sand people. The enthusiasm was great , especially when he mentioned the name ol the historian and nominee for congress , Mr. Rldpath. At Brazil there was the uaunl largo cfov/d nnd It was simply a repeti tion of what had taken place during tin. day. day.Tho The enthusiastic meeting of the evening In Terre Haute was a fitting close for tin enthusiastic day. The reception hero was ono of the greatest. If not the greatest , o the day , and the ovation given the candidate wan Haltering In the extreme. He was me at the depot by members of the Jackson club , nnd when he received his carriage thnt organisation acted ns a guard of hone In the procession which followed. Mr. Dryan addressed two meetings tonight In Terra Haqlc. The first wus from a platform erectei from the entrance to the court house , am huro thn larger crowd of the evening wa assembled. It applauded and cheered a every opportunity. Thu speech was abou the sumo OK given at other places. At the second meeting , hack of the Tcrro lUutu hotel , the candidate spoke to another larg crowd.

Major MoKlnley had atrnwbcrrlcs and cream with his speeches today. The berries came from the second crop In Belmonl , O. , nnd the visi tors brought plenty of cro.tm with them. Many visitors came from points where Mr. Bryan spoke on his recent dash through the stale. It was n day of surprlics. Only two delegations were expected , but by nightfall Elx ot the largest organized bodies which Imvo yet come to Canton had cnllcd nt the McKlnleys , besides thousands of other people. The streets were crowded as on the big Saturday Jubilees. The escort commit tees had not provided for such nn outpouring of people , but the crowds were well ordered. Women marched In line In great numbers. Major McKlnley appropriately termed this "Ohio day , " as ho could well do , from the outpouring of Bucko > o people , although Indiana , West Virginia nnd Pennsylvania were hcio In organized bodies-or merged Intn Knim > nf the blc Ohio delegations. Vlth one party were hundreds of students rom H.ildwln university and "Wallace cot- ego of Iterea , who inndo the welkin ring vllh yells. Thcso people wore from the ox- rcme northern part of the stall. Thousands of peoplu came from the dlstaiu river coun- les of the stnto In company with hundreds of their West Virginia friends across the river. Valparaiso , Fort Wayne , Plymouth and a dozen other northern Indiana towns swelled the crowds In the evening with a lotMler yell. Major McKlnley gave greeting o the city council and olliclals of New Irlghton , Pa. , In his library. WEALTH CO.MKS FROM LAHOR. There was glorious Indian summer's brightest weather In Canton this morning. A largo delegation of fanners called at Me- Clnley's home. They came from Creston , 3. Major McKlnley responded to Mr. A. I. Uchnrds. who upolio on behalf of the dele gation , as follows : Ladles nnd Oentlemen and My Fellow Citizens : I esteem this call from my old constituents nnd my utlghborM nnd fellow cltlx-ens as n very great compliment and lionor-not to mo personally , but to the principles nnd policies for whleli the re- DUhllcan jRirty Hlnnds this year. I remem- l > cr when the republicans of Prrston und Wnync county were nniotiR tne nust earnest nnd cnthusl.istlc of my old congressional district , and I see you have not lost your earnestness nnd enthusiasm for the nreat doctrines of the republican parly. We cannot by legislation In this country make values ; \\o cannot by tiny legerdemain of finance make something out of nothing. The only way to get wealth Is by labor , nnd anybody who teaches any other doc trine Is n false tuichor nnd not the friend of Anivrlcan citizenship or of our Ameri can homes. ( Great npphiuse. ) Tljere Is no such thing nn creating wealth by the mere breath of congress. Congress can do a great many things , but It cannot make you rich or the country rich by de basing the money of thn country , nnd It cannot make the country rich by giving us dollar : ) thnt arc only worth H cents each nml stamping thorn dollars. ( Great laughter nnd npplause. ) Now , congress can help the country , but It must bo by wise legislation , caring for the products , the Inbor , the farms , nnd tne manufactures of our own people , by jirotecllng- them ngalnst the products of people living In other lands. If you me n farmer , what you want first la good crops. Legislation cannot help you to them. You know In order to get gopd .crops you have to sow , and then you * nilUit' have" God's nunnlilnn and riiln , and u cheap dollar will never help j'our .cropa any..Tremendous np- pluuHo. ) You have to toll Just as hard for iv KOOI | MX u poor crop. Now , after you have n good crop , then you want n good market. You have that In the United States , If you nre let alone , but If somebody's product can come In here nnd displace yours , then your market Is not so good. Isn't that right ? ( Ixnid shouts of "You are right , yes. " ) This Is nil there Is of thnt question. It U n ques tion on which our 70,000,003 of freemen should , by their ballots , decree that the legislation of our country shall protect nnd defend American Interests and promote American development against the outside world. ( Applause. ) Now , when you have n peed market nnd Mfll your wheat or corn you want to bo paid In good money , don't you ? ( Cries of "Sure" nnd "You bet. " ) you oldt r men around me will remember the period when you sold your wheat nnd were paid In state bank money , which was good on the day you received It , but Just IIH likely ns not the next day you dlsruvcrcd that this value had depreciated. A Voice "Was not worth anything. " And It wna not worth anything , my friend sayo , nd so nil your labor was lost. Well , now , the best thliiR. for thu farmer , after his good crops and his good markets , Is good money , nnd when you give four full pecks for n bushel nnd sell your wheat by the full bushel , you wnnt to be paid In dollars that nro worth fully 100 cents each , not only today , but every day and everywhere. Tills Is what the republi can party stands for this year those two thing ? above nil others ; but the republican party does not stand alone for them. The greater part of the democratic party , the great leaders of thu old democratic party , arc one with us In the struggle for national honor and prosperity. ( Continuous cheer- Ing. ) I am glad to meet nnd greet you all. but other delegations nro coming nnd 1 must not detain you. It will give me pleasure to shake the hands of my old friends , men nnd women , once more. Three rousing cheers wcro then given "for the next president of the Unltet States. " Medina county and Ilerea In Cuyahogn seni a delegation of 1,000 people to greet Mc Klnley today.

The largo hnll was filled from the stage to the doors. Including ho gallery , with a crowd made up of many of Omaha's best citizens , A largo number of women were present , and the male portion tion of the audience was composed of busi ness men. lawyers , worklngmcn nnd men of all occupations and political creeds. It was n most enthusiastic crowd and ap plauded the speakers most liberally. The proscenium arch was draped with two mmense American flags , thcso forming the only decorations. On the stage were seated , besides the speakers , Messrs. Herman Kountzo , 1 . K. Her. Warren Swltzlcr , Cur tis Turner , J. 0. Corhy. It. W. Richardson. John Harbach.1 Arthur Wakcley. John U.

The nicotine was called to order by Fran cis A. llrogan , who said thnt before be ginning the political part of the meeting he would Introduce Omaha's favorite singer , Jules Lumbard. The whtte-lmlred singer , who stirred men's souls during the late un pleasantness by his songs , was greeted with irolongcd applause. As soon as silence was secured Mr. Lumbarrt said that during the war ho had been a consistent republican , having been forced to affiliate with thnt iarty because It represented the honor and integrity of the nation. During the thirty years following the war , he said he had wen a consistent democrat on other Issues. : mt the developments of the present cam paign had forced htm again to Join the ranks of the republican party. Ho then ex plained , at some length , the causes which liad forced him to take this step. Mr Lum- hard then said that no was going to nrounc the audience by sinning "America , " and he called on everybody to Join In the chorus The crowd rose to the occasion nnd the building fairly shook with the volume of sound as all Joined In the stirring national liynm. liynm.TO BI2 IN EVIDENCE NIGHTLY. K. A. Urocan then spoke briefly , explain Ing the objects of the league which , hi said , had been organized wUhln the past two wceka through the exertions of lr George L. Miller. The purpose of the league was to hold meetings every night until qlcc tlon at which the Issues would bo discussed by citizens of Omaha who had always heel ; relied on to guide aright the destinies of tin city. The organization of the league , he said , wan In line with n movement which had extended all over the country , slmllni organizations having been perfected In nearly every city In the land. Mr. Brogan lead a telegram from the Nonpartlsan league of Kansas City saying that a league had been organized In Miesourl with 11,000 business men as members. Following the applause elicited by this news , Mr. Drogan Introduced J. M. Woolworth as the chair man of the meeting. Judge Woolworth wcs greeted with n storm of applausu and as noon as iiulct was restored he plunged at once Into n discus sion of tint nil-Important Issues of the day. Ho predicted that If the candidates stand ing upon the Chicago platform ehoiilil be the victors nt the coming election a financial revolution would Impend over the' country and no man coulJ say what the result might .be , "Tho vital question at Issue , . " ho said , "Is whether this country should maintain the measure of value hy which It had con ducted Its commercial business heretofore or whether the country should descend to the standard adopted hy less civilized na tions thy silver standard nt the ratio of 1C to 1. "If Bryan should bo elected a great change would take plnco In the financial system of the country , " and he dilated upon the disruption which would follow In busi ness circles by the repudiation of one-half of all obligations. The speaker said that the fact that Dryan Is rushing about from place to place , malting speeches which are filled with deception nnd misrepresentation and falsehood , Is positive proof that his policy Involves a great change In thci entire financial system. "I have always been n democrat. I never have wavered In my fidelity to the party. I have always been loyel to her principles. I am loyal to UIDSO principles now. ( Ap plause. ) I do not falter one moment In the advocacy and the belief of the principles upon which the democratic party at one time carried this country on to the very highest point of prosperity and peace. ( Ap plause. ) Hut I must part company with the men who have stricken out these prin ciples and who will return us to some of the most evil practices of our most unhappy days. ( Applause. ) I am for prosperity , and I believe that If Mr. McKlnley be elected president of the United States ( applause ) , I bcllevo If the principles of the republican party , as declared In Us platform , shall be accepted and approved nnd established by the people ob this country on the 3d day of November , prosperity will soon return. ( Ap plause. ) And that Is the reason that I have parted company with the men that I have walked with and talked with and counseled with In the days that are passed. " ( Applause. ) The speaker then told of a conversation with an English capitalist , In which the lat ter had said that hero was $300,000,000 of English capital lying Idle , waiting for the result of the election , and this money would at once flow Into thla country If McKlnley Is elected. CRAZY PATCHWORK OF FALLACIES. Juilgo Eleazar Wnkcley was Introduced as the first speaker. Ho said ho had always been n democrat , but ho did not think the democratic party owed any allegiance to the crazy patchwork of governmental fal lacies evolved at Chicago hy mistaken demo crats , populists and renegade sllverTcpub- llcans. Bryan's attempts to stir up sectional strife the speaker denounced as the last re sort of a despairing demagogue. Taking Up the Chicago platform , the speaker said It was composed of three groups of planks the nullification features , the covert attack upon the supreme court nnd the financial planks. He discussed thu first The smoke consumer that attaches to thn "Acorn Oak" burns up two-thirds of thn snioko that usually escapes through the chimney this Minolta and gas Is the beat part of the fuel and the smoke consumer results In a great saving ou the coal hill It adds cleanliness to the stove an the greater part of the soot Is conaumed the "Acorn Oak" is absolutely alr-tlght nnd holds flro three days with soft coal , John Hussie " 8 ; Co Consider our AT The past week has been so very successful FROM L'VS T WEtlt'S ful nnd has met with such generous patron- Advertisement. nge , that wo now offer n Inrge number of styles of furniture not before Included , to gether with others ( not sold ) mentioned In our ndvcrtlsemcnt of last week , nnd list below as many as space will permit.

The second group , lie assorted , was placed In the platform by the descendants of the very men who hud profited the most by the rul ings of the supreme court. The financial plunks wcro also discussed. The speaker asserted that It wA absurd to suppose that congress could enact laws Impairing the ob ligations of ccntrncts , vhcn the constitution expressly prohibits any such legislation by nny of the states. Ho declared that the constitutional provision giving congress the power to regulate the value of money simply meant that congress should nnccrlaln the commercial value of the money metal and regulate the coinage accordingly. , Mr. Thomas Kllpatrlck wns the next speaker. He addressed himself to the finan cial question. After a brief historical re view the speaker treated the question from a standpoint of sound political economy , arguing that the law of supply and demand regulated the price of ollvcr as well as of other commercial commodities. Thn recent Increase In the price of wheat waa referred to as n proof of this statement. It was laid down as a principle that a government can neither IncreBtie nor decrease the value of a mulal by coining It. Taking up the quantlllvc theory of the stlverltcs , who assort that an Increase of money would Inciease prices , the speaker argued thnt the theory was fallacious , nnd ho called attention to the fact that the amount of silver , gold nnd paper In this country had been enormously Increased dur ing recent years , but asserted that the fact that prices are lower now than tncy Imvo ever been before was a proof that the theory was not well founded. The theory of the allvcrltes that the farmer will get Increased prices for his wheat was exploded by the statement that the price of wncat would be rrgulated by the market price of the world and dependent upon the supply nnd demand. In closing Mr. Kllpatrlck advhed his hearers to vote for McKlnley and predicted his election. Henry W. Yntcs was Introduced by the chairman and announced that , owing to the lateness of the hour , the committee had consented that his speech be postponed until some future tlnu * . He said , however , that In the present campaign attacks hail been made on the bankers as a class and ho thought It was Incumbent upon mem bers of that class that they fchould raise their voices In self-protection. Speaking of politics , the speaker said It was well known that the vote of Nebraska will not bo needed to elect McKlnley , but he said the eyes of the whole country were ou Nebraska nnd the state should he carried for MeKlnley by a decisive majority nml thereby put an end to the unrest which would follow n close election. Chairman Woolworth announced that meetings under the auspices of the Icaguo will be held every night until election nt the Young Men's Christian association building , at uhlch the Issues of the cam paign will he discussed.

The meeting was another of these which the free stiver clement In the city hava feared might Influence voters. As n lonac- qucnco the disgraceful tactics that have been pursued In other republican gatherIngs - Ings were In evidence. A poporratlr com mittee was on hand nt the door throughout the evening , steering- away Scandinavian citizens hy false statements that ( iron would not speak. Despite this fact , however , a fair audience faced the speaker when ho began hU remarks. The policy was carried Into the hall , for throughout the speaker'H remarks ho was troubled with noises which emanated from the free ullver crowd that had como In.
