THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, SEPTEIlBEIt 30, 1S0U. r? I I Parry, the head of the great concern. An unexpected feature of the parade was CoL Clark, leader of the Rough Rider forces of the county, riding at tho head of a troop cf horsemen. It was announced a few days ago that the Rough Riders would turn out no more until Governor Mount's meeting:, next week. AT THE IIAL.I When the first of the column reached Tomllnson Hall It was nearly 9 o'clock and a big crowd was already waiting. Tho decorations of the hall wert very attrac tive and appropriate. Three great portraits of William McKinley looked down from libove the stage, and there was plenty of rational colors, the insignia of patriotism and loyalty and the emblem of the Repub lican party. The audience that filled tho hall was a mo?t enthusiastic one. The women were amused as well as the men. They cheered tht commercial travelers when that organization filed on to the stage; they hurrahed and clapped their hands and shook their handkerchiefs when the different organizations from the manu facturing establishments filed Into the hall. lione?t labor never received more homage nt a gathering of people than It did la.n night- When the drum corps from tht; K. C. Atkins establishment entered the hall the audience stood on chairs and gave cheer after cheer. The sam demonstra tion occurred when the Iron' league came 1:. and. In fact, whenever an Organization was recojmized it wan greeted with un btinted applause. The great audience was In a happy cheering mood. The people stood up and 'applauded everythinT that stood for Mc Kinley and prosperity. One of the bands stationed in tlv? top gallery struck up th'j air. 'There'll be a hot time." etc.. and ln nantly the people were singinpr. When th band played the "Star-spangled Banner' there war' a rr.iqhty cheer, and when the familiar str:ilrn of "America" floated over the hJl th-Te was more applause. It was a great, good-natured, loyal Republican audience. SOME GOOD MUSIC. Alter the band had concluded Its pro gramme there was excellent music by the Marion Gl?e Club and the Xordyke & Marmon Club's double quartet. The differ ent selections were weil rendered and the audience appreciated thern The presiding officer was Harry Haldeman, president of the Commercial Travelers Republican Club. It was after ! o'clock when he arose to Introduce Senator Dolliver. In presenting the distinguished speaker to the audience Chairman HS-'.r.ian spoke brieily of some or the things in this campaign that rel.te directly to the commercial traveler. He declared that there are more men on the road seMing goo:? to-day than ever be fore. There is not a merchant in this country who is not an expansionist, he jald. and when the merchant has an op lortunity to employ an expert salesman he goes Into some new territory and puts the man to work. Thus the army of trav eling salesmen has been Increased. "In a local way." the chairman said, "you will not find a single manufacturer or jobber who has not as many men on the road as he had four years aso, and there are very few houses that have not In creased their force. I know of one job ber in Indianapolis who has 400 per cent, more men on the road than he had four .years ago." In concluding his remarks the chairman said: "Now with all these facts before you do you believe that the commercial salesman Is dissatisfied? No, my friends, he is not. but you will run into the occasional commercial traveler (now note th? distinction between salesman and traveler) who i kicking. Run down this man's record and you will find him a coun terfeit. You will tin 1 he has never held a position with any one house for any length of time. And Instead of recognizing his own Incompetence he holds the adminis tration responsible." SENATOR I)OLI.I i:ilS SI'EF.CIf. Ills Remarks Were Witty nnd Force ful and Freely Applauded. Senator Dolliver proved to be the wittiest of the speakers of the campaign in Indian apolis and his speech was punctuated with humorous remarks fully appreciated by his audience. He seemed to particularly enjoy poking fun at Mr. Bryan's preten sions -as a prophet four years ago. In or der to show more sharply the contrast be tween the conditions existing then and at present the senator described the great financial stringency four years ago and then continued as follows: These good traveling salesmen will tell you that no such deadlock and paralysis ever before seized the business community of America within their experience. It was a strange situation, photographed ac curately by my friend Colonel Lafe Young, of the Des Moines. Ia., Capital, when he said the other day that 'they got us Into a position the like of which we never knew before, where we could neither get Into debt or out.' laughter and Mr. Bryan said If we established the gold standard we would lose what little we had left of money In circulation and about that time the American people heard a voice, kind and familiar and friendly, from the vine clad portico of the little white cottage down there at Canton, O.. saying: 'Open the mills. Tremendous applause and cheers. Give the American people some thing to do for their living: give them their old wages back and their old employments and you will create a market place that will draw to itself the loanable funds of the whole world, and the money of the American people Instead of being wasted and thrown away will be pui Into the chan nels of trade and business throughout the United States.' Now, I want you to mark what has happened. I suppose that about all Mr. Bryan could have done for us would have been to have set the mints of this country to work making silver dollars as fast as he could. That is about all that he could have done if we had elected him. The director of the mint lives in our town and 1 asked him the other d ay how many silver dollars the mints of the United States can manu facture In a year and he said to me that all the mints of the United States working all the time day and niqht and doing noth ing else can manufacture out of silver J5- FAIK WEATHER TO-DAY.

In other words, in four years' Mr. PiTan, if he had worked all the mints all tho time and left them nothing else to do could have manufactured 23O,W),00O silver dollars, but the Republican policy pro claimed by McKinley and advocated by his supporters throughout the United States by fortifying public and private credit, by establishing beyond debate the standard of value in the United States, has multi plied beyond all precedent ths volume of money In circulation throughout our coun try. TREASURER'S REPORT. "The last report of the secretary shows that since William McKinley was inaug urated there has been added to the volume of money with which the business of the American people is done the stupendous aggregate of $530,000,000 Applause, and by the 4th of March it will be $700,000. DÜQ nearly all of It In cold, and every dollar exactly as good as gold added to the volume of money in circula tion, of money in the United States In the four years of McKIn- ley's administration, a sum which It would have required Mr. Bryan's policy, operating the mints day and night, all the time and doing nothing else, the splice of twelve y-ar to manufacture out of silver. Ap I'laue. In other words, my brothers, we have managed without the aid or consent of any nation on earth to do for you ex actly seven time? as much as you expected to be able to do for yourselves, and I want to ask In all candor and good conscience If It is not a good time a good many of you should get out of the main road and let the Republican procession move on. Ap plause. "I heard Mr. Bryan say in 1S36 that if the gold standard was established labor would lose its wages and its employment. Has that prediction been fulfilled? Cries of 'No, No.' I appeal to the experience of all labor that it has seen everywhere its wage.- Increased until Carroll D. Wright, the most famousllvlnglaborstatistican.sald the other day in a public address In Poston that the present level of American wages has never been equaled in the whole in dustrial life of the American people Ap plause, and the occupations of the people instead of having been diminished have been increased and multiplied in a thou sand ways, so that I might stand here safe ly and challenge any man to name one able-bodied citizen of the State of Indiana that is to-day without something for his hands to do at profitable remuneration. 'Oh. but,' says somebody, 'haven't we got strikes in the country?' Why, certainly. We will always have strikes under a Re publican administration. Laughter. You hardly ever hear of a strike In Democratic times. Laughter. In Democratic times the problem of labor is not to get more, but to hold on to the miserable remnant of what it has left. " Great laughter and applause. And while the Republican party has given American labor Its great opportunity to strike for higher wages and for shorter hours, the striking workman has never been without expression of Democratic sympathy. Laughter. That Is all working men of America have ever got out of the Democratic party so far as I have ever heard. Laughter and applause. INCREASE OP WAGES. "The sympathies of the Republican party are also with the men seeking to Increase their wages. My own conviction is that the welfare of civilization depends upon the success of labor in Increasing the wage level in the United States, and It adds to the comfort of the American home, and I always wish God-speed to men who are striking for higher wages when the condi tions of the country legitimately authorise an Increase in the wage scale, but I do not believe that anybody is striking for higher wages in the United States who de sires to have either his old wage scale or his new settled except in a coin that is pood everywhere in all of the market places of the earth. Applause. We hear of men striking for shorter hours, and my sympa thies are with them. I believe that the whole future of civilization is wrapped up in the success of organized labor in short ening the hours of toil in order that a larger leisure may be given for intellectual and moral culture Applause, but I do not believe there are very many workingmen in the United States who are hankering after a return of that period of universal leisure Laughter that blessed emancipa tion from all toll and all care and all wages that has usually accompanied the Demo cratic administrations. Grea't laughter and applause. "When you are Inquiring around for the reason that the issue has been changed I will tell you it is because the paramount issue of 1S06 is no longer mentionable in the ears of the American people, and yet the only threat on the horizon of American prosperity to-day is the possibility of Mr. Bryan being put In a Position to execute his threat against the gold standard in the United States; so that I am here in the discharge of my public duty to warn every body, whether he is wording for his living on the farm or in the factory, or in the counting house or In the great centers of trade and business I warn him faithfully that the issue of this campaign is not to be found after circumnavigating the globe the issue of this campaign is here in the United States Applause, and if you let me condense it into one word I will say it Is to hold on to the fortunate business condition? that now surround all the people of the United States. Tremendous ap plause. You may talk about other sub jects, you may wear your sleeves out in other fields of debate and controversy, but if you are working for your living, my friends you will pardon a word of counsel from one who has a heartfelt Interest In the welfare of the industrious millions of this country let me tell you something anu you ten u to your wxie wnen you go home. It is more Important for you to have money enough to buy clothing for your children, shoes for their feet, books for their schooling it is more Important for you to be able to take care of your family and have something left for your self than it is for Senor Aguinaldo to enjoy the immediate advantages of the writ of habeas corpus. Great laughter and applause. MIDNIGHT NOISES. "If you will listen to me I will speak tor a few minutes about some of the mid night noises of this campaign. The first noise that I have heard, and I expect you have .heard th same noise, is. that this country is about to be swallowed by mili tarismthat is to say, our liberties arc about to be destroyed by the army. Now, I have read the history of the United States army very carefully, and I defy any living man to put his finger on a page of that history which records an act of hostility by the army of the United States against cither the liberties or the welfare of the American ptople. Great applause. Ther were some who said that the old Union army could not be mustered out without pullinpi down the temple of liberty. They halt! that was the way it was done in Rome, and they always prove everything by what happened in Rome. Laughter J Yet we saw the general order issued that mustered out the mightiest armed host the world ever aw. or ever will see, in my judgment the Grand Army of the Repub licand we saw them melt away into the pursuits of peace and private life not the enemy's, but the fortress and the strong tower of free Institutions. Great ap plause.) The army of the United States i3 25.U00 regular troops and 63,000 two-year volunteers altogether less than 100,000 men. and in proportion to the population very much less than it was when Thomas Jef ferson uttered his famous admonition against the perils of a standing army." In further discussing the question of mil itarism and Imperialism Senator Dolliver took occasion to pay an elegant tribute to the memory of Henry W. Lawton, the mention of whose name was received with an outburst of applause and cheers. In :t most impressive manner the speaker also read the famous letter of General Lawton in which he said: "If I am shot by a Filipino bullet" (this was five days before he fell), "it might as well come from one of my own men, because I know from ob servation, confirmed by captured prisoners, that the continuance of the fighting is chiefly due to reports that are sent out from America." SYMPATHY FOR ROERS. Senator Dolliver also discussed in highly humorous vein the plank in the Democratic platform expressing sympathy for the Boers. A particularly enjoyable feature of this part of the speech was the reading 0 Treasurer Farrell's report, showing the manner in which disbursements had been made of the sympathy fund collected for the Doers at a public meeting in Washing ton. When Senator Dolliver read that $240 had been spent for wine, for carriages and $"90 for hotel bills making the humor ous suggestion that most of the luxuries were enjoyed by the sympathizers them selvesthe crowd sent out peal after peal of irrepressive laughter, which culminated in a veritable atorm of merriment when the crator atated that of the $1,800 raised for this worthy object only H remained to be transmitted. Senator Dolliver took up the Issue of trusts, on which he said some very interesting things, as follows: "Now, I claim to have as much prejudice against a trust nnd a monopoly as anybody ought to have. I have an old Yorkshire friend that always tells me that no man has a right to be robbed, and that is so, and no nation has a right to allow its people to be robbed, and if the trusts which our Democratic brethren are talking about all the time are robbing the American market-place there must be found some protection against It for the American people. But the longer I meditate about it the less disposed I am to look for protection, either at Washington or Indianapolis. When you come to think about it it Is hardly probable that the sood Lord who made us and put seventy millions of us here left us no other protection than an act of Congress or a joint resolution of the State Legislature, and the bottom fact Is that there are laws In this universe more effective for the protection of the market place than any possible provisions of na tional or State statutes. LAW OF COMPETITION. "One of these laws, a law which has not yet been repealed, Is the law of competition by which it may be absolutely said that that no man and no corporation can be great enough to long enjoy an exorbitant profit In a free market-place without the Interference of his friends and neighbors. Applause. I do not Intend to argue that at length, because a great many people be lieve that the Democratic party must be called upon to save the American people from the extortion of the trusts and com bines that fill the country. Now I have made up my mind that the Democratic party In the first place has no disposition to take any effective action in the interest of the American people in these matters and I get that Idea from the fact that last winter we gave the Democratic party an ample opportunity to put itself on record In favor of an amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States which would give tha Congress the power to define and regu late these trusts and combinations, and every Democrat In the House of Repre sentatives, except five, voted against it while every Republican In the House ex cept one voted in favor of it. Applause. Not only is the Democratic party not dis posed to do any thing against the trusts, but in my Judgment they have not got the wisdom, or I might more plainly say the sense to do anything. Great laughter and applause. "Now that Is a mean thing to say and I would not say It If I did not know It was so. Last winter we had up in the House of Representatives a number of questions that pave me an opportunity to size up the capacity of the Democratic party to handle the trust'question. There is in the House a very smart man by the name of Jim Richardson. A SMALL MONOPOLIST. "He Is somewhat of a monopolist himself when it comes to a matter of books and literature Great laughter and applause, but he Is the leader of the Democratic House of Representatives, and I guess he must be the smartest man there. At any rate he was the permanent chairman of the Kansas City convention and is now the chairman of the Democratic national congressional committee, so that if there is any smarter man among them there I don't just now recall It. Richardson and I served on the same committee, and this resolution of his which I hold in my hand was referred to the committee on ways and means, and that is how I happened to get hold of lt. I have the official print of it. He got warmed up on the subject of trusts and he proposed to deal one death blow to the sugar trust and so he introduced this resolution. I don't want you to forget that he is the smartest man among them the leader of the House, and if the House should be Democratic the speaker of the next House. It reads: 'Whereas, a monop oly exists among sugar manufacturers and in consequence enormous profits are being realized, therefore, be It resolved, that from and after the passage of this resolu tion all kinds of sugar, molasses and every thing entering Into the manufacture of sugar shall be admitted free from Porto Rico and Cuba.' "Now mark what he Is doing.. He was trying to knock the breath out of the sugar trust and he does it by" relieving it of the necessity of paying duties on the sugar and molasses that they are now im porting from Cuba and Porto Rico. Laugh ter and applause. Last year the Ameri can sugar trust paid into our treasury 111,000,0 as duties on sugar and molasses brought here by them from Porto Rico nnd Cuba, and Jim Richardson In hl3 anxiety to kill thrs trust deliberately proposed to round the thing to death with twenty-dollar Kold pieces taken out of the treasury of the United Statesv Great laughter and applause. ALLUSION TO JONES. "Now, there is In the Senate of the United States a very great man by the name of Jones. Laughter. He is the chairman of the Democratic national com mittee, and he Is a senator of the United States, and my personal situation requires me to believe that nobody could get to be a senator of the United States unless he Is considerable of a man Laughter, and therefore you will agre with me that Jones must be a good man and a great man, and besides that he Is the chairman of a Demo cratic campaign committee and has been since and he is a good deal of a monopolist himself. Laughter. I am told that he is one of the chief organizers and stockholders of a trust that has got so odious in the cotton belt of the United States as to make him almost objectionable as the leader of the army of Democracy marching against this monster. Laugh ter. At any rate, you will admit that he must be about as smart a man as they have. Well, last winter we were debating In Congress a very simple proposition. The President recommended that we take from the treasury of the United States two mil lion dollars that had been paid in there on Porto Rican imports and pay it back to the treasury of the people of Porto Rico in order to relieve their distress and help them in the midst of their misfortunes, and while the Senate was debating that humane proposition Senator Jones got up and of fered an amendment. I have it here in my hand, the ofllcial print of the amendment. Now, mind you, McKinley wanted to take it out of our treasury and give it back to the unfortunate people of Porto Rico, but Jones said: 'That all duties collected up to this date upon articles imported into the United States from Porto Rico since the 11th day of April, 1WD. shall be re turned to the persons from whom they were collected.' Great laughter and ap plause. Well, now, they were collected from the American sugar trust $1,900,000 of the two millions, so the secretary of the treasury says. Either that company or Its brokers had bought in practically all the imports that had come here from Porto Rico, and they were at that time suing the United States In the District Court of the Southern district of New York to re cover back what they had paid, on the ground that was once very popular here in Indiana, that the Constitution follows the Hag Laughter and applause, and everybody else knew that they had paid it in and were trying to get it back by a law suit ever j' body except Jones Great laugh ter, and while we were wrestling with the humane proposition of giving that money to the treasury of Porto Rico, Jones thought he would aim a death blow at the trusts by proposing to give it back to the fellows that had paid it in. STUPIDITY PREFERRED. "Now, marl: you, I am not saying a word against Jones Laughter, and I am not taying a word against Richardson Re newed laughter I don't have to do it. I think it is better for this country on the whole that a man should be absolutely stupid than that he should be an uncon scionable scoundrel, and therefore I want to be understood as letting Jones and Rich ardson off comparatively easy. Laughter. I admit that they are the smartest men In the two houses of Congress belonging to the Democratic party and yet I say that they live in an atmosphere of stupidity on these practical questions that Is so dense that no ray of light penetrates the dun geon where they dwell Laughter and ap plause, and if there is any living American that expects a successful war on trusts to be made by these two brethren if he is looking for the results, in my humble opin ion he will wear his eyes out and break his constitution down. Laughter and ap plause. One thing they suggest and that is that you put everything on the free list. They say that will kill the trusts and so I guess It will, but there will be nobody to attend the funeral. Laughter. We have had some experience. I have no doubt that absolute free trade would kill 'every trust in the United States and every other industrial enterprise of the American peo ple, big and little especially the little, Laughter and applause, and I have made up my mind .that that is a remedy a little too elaborate even for so desperate a dis ease. Laughter. Beside all that' the most of these trusts have no connection with tho tariff at alL There Is for example the Standard Oil trust, the beef trust, the flour trust, the cotton bale trust, the. American Ice Company Laughter and applause, that unique Democratic institution which re duced the temperature of the Kansas City convention 20 degrees in a single afternoon that is founded on nothing except the Kennebec river Laughterj, and the little gang of thieves that are now trying to Uryardze the State of New York Renewed laughter, so that the more I meditate upon the puestion the more certain I be come that neither the man who works for his living by the day nor those who live out of the dividends of their earnings and savings of the past, that is to say the earn ings of Invested capital, has anything to train from the fact that after four years of estrangement the Democracy of New York and the Populism of Nebraska have at last agreed to blow out the gas and go to bed together." Tremendous laughter. TALK OF IMPERIALISM. Senator Dolliver took up the Issue of Im perialism, saying that he was not exactly clear as to the meaning of that word, but that if It meant the construction of a navy commensurate with the dignity of the United States government, or the digging of the NIcauraguan canal, or the holding on to everything we got out of our trouble with Spain, he was heartily in favor of it. He grew facetltious in his narration of the ludicrous schemes proposed by the Demo crats in Congress to raise money for the purpose of carrying on war. He said among these schemes were: The coinage of the seignorage of the silver bullion In the treasury a proposition which excited great laughter, in view of the great depre cation in the value of silver; the re-enactment of the income tax law, which has been declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court; and the is suance of non-interest-bearing notes by the government. In conclusion the senator said: "Now I have just one word more to say. We have got out of the war new duties and new re sponsibilities. You say, 'Do you count that an advantage?' I certainly do. Nations are made great by what they do, and the great powers of the world were the nations that bore the heavy burdens and bent un der the mighty responsibilities of these passing centuries. Nations are upon the map of this world for a purpose. No nation can live to itsdlf alone, and If any man would Interpret the history of the United States let him feel and understand that it is merely the preparation of the Republic for Its great part In the service of mankind. I believe in our country. Great applause. I believe in the flag. A great many people talk very fluently about the flag that don't believe in it at all. There are .men running for office in the United States now who are teaching the people that the cause of civil liberty stands a poorer chance under the flag of the United States than it does under the proclamation of a half-naked Malay barbarian in the Philippine archipelago. We ourselves love that flag. We trust everything that we have to it our lives, our children, all that we have and all that we are and what it has been to us and what it means to us it shall, by the blessing of God, mean to scattered populations that without our purpose have come under the jurisdiction of our flag and of our laws. Great applause. I believe I repeat in the American Republic, and I back it against the world. Great applause. Nor do I think that since the days of Abraham Lincoln there has been. upon the helm of affairs a steadier, braver, kindlier, wiser hand than the hand of William McKinley, President of the United States."

Friends Adopt a ConstltntlonGrevr ROtne Find at Crown PointImpor tant Labor Changes Possible. Sfeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind.. Sept. 23.-This was an important day with the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, and the action taken will have a wide influence with the other yearly meetings of the country. This morning, without permitting any further discussion of the subject, the question of adopting tho new constitution and disci pline, proposed for all the meetings in the United States and Canada, came up for final action, and a standing vote was taken to decide for or against Its adoption. The vote was about three to one for adoption and It was declared adopted. Indiana Is the fifth to take favorable action on the new discipline, and when two more have taken favorable action it will become effec tive among those seven. Formal decision was made to-day to be gin missionary work in Cuba. Two mis sions already have been established at Havana and Canes, but these were experi mental.
