BRYAN IS lilKIT IX i.ST. PAI' Dentooratle Candidate Holds Confer tacti with-Governor Johnson. ST. PAUL. Minn., Aug. 31. William Jennings Bryan, democratic candidate for president, is Minnesota's guest today. He arrived here shortly after I o'clock this morning, and was met at the station by Governor Johnson, former Governor John LJnd, ' National Committeeman Lynch, Mayor Lawler, and other notable demo crats .of the city and state, and conveyed In an aufrmobile to the Minnesota club, where brefckfaat was served. At noon Mr. Bryan was the guest of honor at a luncheon given by Mr. Lynch at the Mer chants hoi el, the Interval between break- fast and luncheon being occupied by Mr. Bryan. Governor Johnson and the party leaders In a conference over the political situation In the state aa affecting the in terests of Governor Johnson 'end the na tional ticket. I: Is understood that plan of action with respect to the campaign In the northwest was talked over. The feature of the day was an address by Mr. Bryan at the state fair grounds, his theme twins governmental extrava gance. He spoke from a platform erected especially for the occasion at the corner of Snelllng and Langford avenues, out side the fair grounds gates. B. F. Nelaon of the 8tate Fair association, presided o,ver the meeting and Introduced Governor Johnson, who In turn Introduced Mr. Bryan. On the platform were a number of distinguished Mlnnesotans. Mr. Bryan spoke In part as follows: Mr. Bryan said In part In his addreta today: - The democratic platform makes repub lican extravagance one of the Uuls ot the present campaign. The republican ilaiiorni is silent till the subject, and natu.a,ly a). To have promised economy would have been a mockery and to have defended th approprlatluna made by the last congress would have been Impossible. The Fifty-first congress was cimmrnly called the billion-dollar congrcts. The ap- rioprlatlons made by tnat congress cjvend wo years, amounting lor the first lime to tl,0uO.OUO,0Oc, or l.nw.OH.OOO a yfar. The extravaganae of that congress contributed til thjt iltlllPA'lii.lnilllV uli.li.ru ai.ii, r , l b. . i democrats, in thr campaign of WM. The last congress, however, has m ide a new record In extravagance. In t I e of the deficit of mure than JSif.Onu.Ouo in th.' last fiscal year l.ie appropriations ma le during the last session amount to m re than tl.ogo.tiOu.UA). or twice as much as ths approprlatluna for a single session of Ue Klfty-flrot congress. The ina:e.ise over lh year before was f'.n.u .0a. shotting a growth In expenditure iar In cuvti uf the growth of Hi-' population. While this tendency to extravagance manifests Itself In nearly all dpartnie.i:s It is especially noticeable in the Army and Navy department. The army Is more than twice as large as In 1K96 and the aiiprop u tions for the army more than three. Umt aa great as they were eleven years ng. The expenses of the navy are albO about three times what they Were a dee ids ag. The Increase In the appropriations tor the army and navy alone are $U',to ,o) a year In excess of what they were in ,$97. The Imperialistic policy, for which the re publican party Is responsible. Is the only exouse for this enormous and Increaimg drain upon the taxpayers. Our platform also calls attention to the fact that W.OUi new off.ces have been cre ated, at an expense of $7o,ui6.000 a year, as against an Increase of W.UiO new cffl ei, with salaries amounting to-6,(i OXI In th Cleveland and the McKlnley adm nutri tions. While every element of our popu a tlon suffers to a greater or less extent be cause of the unnecessary expenditures of the government, the farmers have spe.-lal reason for complaint because they pay more than their share of the taxes col lected and receive less than their share of benefits which flow from the expen!tu'e of the corporation. Nearly all of our fed eral revenues, excepting postal receipts, are collected from internal revenue taies and Import duties, and these are taxes upin consumption, which . always overburdea those of moderate means and underburien the rich. If Ihe. federal taxes could be serarated from the price of ihe article In which thy are noncraled and each person'a ler ca 111 ! shown it would be foun.1 that the fel- eral tax now collected would be in eft ct I LnV"r;deoZ;n4 ij-rjm:i zu uuaa aad the least per ccn. upju t ic J iiicb aio. dkpti -la.

TIME FOR REV1SIO HAS COME ttereno E. Payne Says Conditions Kaw Justify it. AUBURN, N. Y Aug. 81. In an address accepting renomlnatlon today, Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee and republican leader in tho lower house of congress, said he believed the time has come for action In the direc tion of revision of th tariff. "Our rlyals In trade, Germany arid France, have adopted a maximum and minimum of tar iff," said he, "and under our existing law we are unable to, obtain their minimum rate without too great a sacrifice to Amer ican Industry. We can only meet them on their own ground with a maximum and minimum tariff. This consideration alone would be sufficient to Justify a revision." Mr. Payne was renominated today for the fourteenth time by the republicans of the Thirty-first congressional district. "Notwithstanding democratic opposition, we have convinced the American people that we are earnest in our pledge to re vise the tarKf; It would seem almost to have convinced Mr.- Bryan, .for he has been telling us how It ought to" be done In his platform and In his speeches. He declares that 'articles entering Into competition with trust-controlled products should be ptaeed upon the free list.' This is In line with a bill Introduced by Mr. Bryan white he was In congress In the '90s and a member of the committee on. ways and means. If he has any settled convictions, this seems to be one of them. But w; erever there Is a trust there are also smaller factories de pendent for their existence on the same tariff protection. His program' would -certainly destroy the latter. If. the trusts or the other factories are wiped out what does lie propose to do with the countless thousands of workmen that this free list would deprive of the dally means of sup port? Can this be the man who proclaims himself the friend of labor? No greater danger has threatened the laboring man in this country than this proposition In the democratic platform." KASTER.N MANAGER , SELECTED National Chairman Mack Said to Hare Made Declstou. , R1DGKFIKLD, Conn., Au-. 31. It was learned here today that the selection of the eastern manager for the democratic na tional campaign has been virtually, made by National Chairman Norman E.

Cary of this place yesterday and It Is understood that tie na tional, and stale situation, was discussed at some length.

HOW I HE PEOPLE HAVE RILED (Continued from First Page.) publican committee. In lliiit same speech he declared that the republicans enuld have revised Ihe tariff at hdv time during tee last fn years. As a mere physical pussti.llliy this Is true, for they have !oen In charge ot all branches of the govern ment fluting thHt time. But Mr. Hrvn ought In have known, end km. wing, oimht to have sHld that, whatever ne himself would have done In the cliCumstances, the repuhllcnns. as Intelligent lei'iiiiitors, were forced to reel gnize and- to act upon sev eiul Important facts. file first was thu th present tariff.. - ten. years age, was satisfactorily adjusted to the cninnierclsl requirements uf the country. The second tact Is that the conditions whl"i now underlie the present Just demand for revi sion had not until recently evolved as Incidents In the meat economic growth uf tho country, made possible by th adoption of the Dlngley tariff. A third reason Is, that the first reiiulslte of business being a reasonable stahllity of fundamental or basic conditions and the tariff being the very foundation of business In this coun try, constant tinkering wl.th the tariff, after the democratic fashion, would be dis astious to business. Just as democratic rtinkerlng with the. tarilf has always been disastrous alike to mtihufactut ers. to pro ducers, and to consumers In short, to the whi le people. Another picture Is a more pleasing one. It relates to our Country as ruled bv the peopln through the instrumentality of tho republican party. It reveals a vista of prosperity from the dark duvs when Mr. Bryan first menaced the public welfare to the happier days when Tneodore Roose velt gave a new- and a better meaning to punliu integrity. In that period of twelve ers we behold our country, wisely gov erner. expanded in area. Increased by twenty minima of people and forty billions of wealth; our credit redeemed and our rev enues a hundred millions In excess of ex penditures. We . behold our farms, in creased lour--hundred millions of acres In area, more than doubled in the value, ot both the land and its products. We be hold our home market the largest and tile richest In the wot Id and our annual ex port grown to four hundred millions In excess or our Imports. We behold the pro ducts of our mines Increased In some in stances 5C0 per cent, and our. manufactirles doubled and tripled, and .even quadrupled. v e uenoio laoor tne best paid in the world. We behold the decrease of Intemperanee. crime and pauperism and the corresp Hiding multiplication oi nomes ana of savings de posits. We behold education advanced and religion expanded. We hehotd rathless wealth forced by the strong arm of the law to subserve the public weal, while on all sides we behold .industrv wlnnine Its Juat reward. And over it all we behold tho beneficent rule, of the people. You who are Just beginning to enjoy the birthright vouchsafed to you by the republic, and you veterans In the ranks of citizenship, gaze upon this picture and upon this and then answer tlm question: Shall Mr. lirjan t ule. ur-ohall th& people rule?

Liang Tuen Yen, assistant eecreta.y of the Board of Foreign Affairs, is tha had ing candidate for the position at Wash ington In succession to Wu Ting-Fang. WASHINGTON, Aug-." 81. When Minister Wu was finally, reaped by a reporter he sttid.that he had slteacd nothing .about h.s rbeing recalled and smilingly d ltd that he did net care If lie Was, "The only indiscreet speeches or inter views that know of are some which I never gave out. The. words were put Into my mouth by other people. I understand that in some Japanese newspapers were stories stating that I had been Indiscreet and that I should be recalled If such was the case." Mr. Wu said there might be hundreds cf people in Peking who want his Job, but he cannot think of the names of any of them at present, and lie also said that he had r,ot solicited the appointment when he went back to China. During hla second term of minister to the I'nlted Slutts, the general opinion of his admireis and of, his critics as well has been that Mr. Wu has been much more reserved and clrcumsrett both In his hab t and private utterances than he was dur ing days of his previous term as minis. er. on the Republican Primary Ballot For Land Commissioner.

NETHERLANDS MAKES REPLY Proceed In as of enesncla Have Irreanlar All Thronah Con ference. Been I-ONnON. Aug. 31. The reply of the Netherlands government to President Castoro' last note will, It Is understood, he In- substance that the Dutch cruiser Oelder land did not salute the Venezuelan fla upon entering I.a Oualra because under International naval practice, a war vessel does not salute a flag In a foreisn port if it had entered that port and saluted within a year. The tlelderland had done this. Besides, It Is declared. It was not known whether the forts would reply should the Oclderland salute them, and all chance of further embarrassment was saved by the cruiser keeping within the Intel nat''.nnl precedent of saluting once within a year. As for tho alleged Insults to the Vene suelan consul at Wlllcmstad, Island of Curacoa, the gentleman so entitled, it Is stated, was never accepted by the Nether lands government as consul, hence he could not officially be styled consul, and was In Curocoa simply as a citl7.cn of Venezuela.
