BRYAN AT GAMTOf
Makes a Short Speech at the
President's Home.
Canton, O., Oct. 15. There were im
portant accessions to the Bryan train
before it left Akron this morning.
These consisted of Mayor Jones of To
ledo and former Attorney General Mon
pett. Both joined the party upon the in
vitation of air. Bryan, and it is under
etood that Mayor Jones will continue
with the presidential candidate on his
New York tour. Mr. Bryan spent the
night on the "Rambler," his sleeping
car, and he did not emerge from his
stateroom for almost an hour after the
train, had pulled out of the Akron sta
tion at 7 o'clock.
The first stopping point was Canton,
the home of the Jiebraskan's rival for
the presidency. This place was on the
itinerary only conditionally, and when
iMr. Bryan was toldrthat he could have
a stop of five minutes if he so desired
ihe replied simply that whether he should
speak or not should depend upon whether
there was a crowd at the station.
Mr. Bryan had just sat down to break
fast when the point was reached. As
the train drew into Canton there were
cheers and a goodly crowd was there to
meet Mr. Bryan. He was received with
cheers and made a four or five minute
speech, referring pleasantly to the presi
dent, and saying that if he should not be
re-elected he could always be an ex
president, as the "ex" was a title that
once earned could always be held.
Mr. Bryan said: "I beiieve that this
stop is not on the programme, and I
am here only for moment. You are so
accustomed here to seeing presidential
candidates that another candidate is no
curiosity. I suppose some of you in 1896
voted for your home candidate as a mat
ter of locaJ pride, but now you can say
that Canton is the home of a president,
and if the election goes our way it will
always be the home of an ex-president,
because that title 'ex' is one of those
permanent titles that a man never
loses. If any one insists that a presi
dent deserves a second term you caji

reply that one term is enough if a pres
ident does well, and too much where he
does not do well. You have here in your
city a cannon, I believe, that was pre
sented to you as a trophy of the war.
It was customary in earlier days for
cannon to bear mottoes, and your can
non has inscribed upon it 'Mars ultima
ratio regium,' which means that war is
the last reason of kings. Charles Sum
ner in his oration on 'The Character of
Nations,' delivered at Boston, July 4,
1S44, referred to this motto and said:
L.et it be no reason of this republic'
"I hope that you will not merely from
the possession of that cannon be led to
believe that war is a thing to be de
sired. It ought to be further away from
a republic even than from a monarchy,
because in a monarchy the government
rests upon force, and has frequent occa
sion to resort to force. A king is not al
ways restrained by those considerations
which would restrain the people of a re
public. In a country like this and where
justice is the rule between this gov
ernment and other governments as well
as between thepeople.there ought to be
less necessity for war. In fact, I be
lieve that if this nation will stand upon
its rights and be as careful to respect
the rights of other people as it is to de
fend its own, there will be little use for
war. If this nation will obey the com
mandment, 'Thou Shalt not steal,' it will
have little difficulty in enforcing that
commandment in those places where this
nation is a protector. The American
idea of a protectorate is different from
the European idea. Under a European
protectorate the protector plunders the
protected. According to our theory the
protector has to give the strength of the
protector to its ward without making the
ward the victim of the protector; and so
we believe in the far away Philippines
that this nation can be a protector
as it has been in the South.
American republic and without
governing the people ourselves
'We can say to the world, 'Hands off
and let that republic live and work out its
own destiny.'
"That i? our theory and we feel that it
is a significant fact th-.it the Rppub'ican
party lias? planted itself upon the Euro
pean doctrine that you must own a coun
try in order to be of service to it at the
same time that it plants itself upon the
Kuropean colonial idea. You will prob
ably find in your town-a few people who
will support the Republican idea of the
colonial policy, but I suggest that when
you rind a. Republican who is willing to
support the colonial idea, you ask him
to show his sincerity by send a petition
to the president asking him to apologize
to Great -Britain for the trouble we mace
her before we learned of the blessings of
this colonial system, for if the Republi
can party is riht today in administering
colonies and taxing them without repre
sentation and ov-rning them wi;huut
their consent, then the color.is s were wr"n?
15 years aro when they asserted that
these principles were wrong. We are in
Ohio for a few days and I am glad to
have a chance to present our side of thi3
question to peopie of Ohio, and I trust
that when the election is held the re
sults will show that even in Ohio, despite
the local influences here, despite the resi
dence of the president and the residence
of the chairman of the Republican na
tional committee, the returns will show
that in the great contest between the
European idea of force and the American
doctrine of government by consent. Ohio
will be on the side of the "United States
Instead of on the side of Europe."
At Mineral Point there was also a brief
stop which was not on the schedule. At
that place Mr. Bryan asked Mayor Jones

against these combinations, monopolies
and trusts, as your sworn officer of the
law, calling upon the highest courts of
the state to electrocute These law vio
lators that pillage your sugar bowl, your
oil can, your tobacco pouch, exact from
you excessive freight and telephone
charges, and to protect you in your
rights of private property under the con
stitution and laws of the state. We
labored to accomplish this, as it was our
duty to do. We were badgered and ob
structed by Republican leaders, United
States senators, political bosses and a
subsidized press. One hundred and ten
newspapers accepted Standard Oil money
to cultivate public sentiment wrongfully
in their favor and against the prosecu
tors. "The monopolist sent the briber with
his seductions of gold and with his prom
ises of "positions and salaries and pro
cured the leading governmental officials
to defend them, and last, but not least,
driven from pillar to post, they came in
to court and with uplifted hands swore
that they did not and could not answer
the interrogatories of produce their
books, for if they did it would subject
their corporations to civil death for vio
lating the law of their creation; and
lastly, that it would criminate the col
lege fostering, church erecting, cam
paign contributing monopolists.
"A like experience was encountered
against the salt trust at Pomeroy, O.;
the same dodge azid skulking from the
avenging law was adopted there."
Mr. Monett then went into the sub
ject of federal legislation against trusts
and discussed the Sherman anti-trust
law. He dwelt especially on the "evils
of combinations in restraint of trade."
Referring to the decision of the su
preme court sustaining the constitution
ality of the Sherman law, Mr. Monett
said:
"This brought the trusts and monop
olies to their last ditch in the contest,
so far as the court and congress were
concerned; so far as the legislative and
the judiciary were called upon to act.
All of us that had earnestly fought and
contended for th!s principle felt that a
great victory had been won a Republi
can from Ohio had introduced
the bill, a Republican house
and senate had enacted it in
to law, a Democratic solicitor general
and an attorney general from Ohio had
with reat learning and ability sustain
ed the law before the United States su
preme court.
"Pooling of railroads and of railroad
rates, joint traffic associations, the mo
nopoly of the Standard Oil company,
both in its producing and the progress
of the raw product and distributing the
refined product, should now come under
the control of this legislative act, so far
as it interferes with interstate com
merce. "Thirteen suits had been begun, about
two of them under Cleveland's adminis
tration, but they were delayed awaiting
the final decision as to the constitution
ality of this act.
"We nominated a president from Ohio
who promised the people in fair phrases
that he would enforce the anti-trust
laws of the United States, including the
Sherman anti-trust act. How has he en
forced it? He went to New Jersey, the
state of the trust breeding grounds, the
cesspool and the spawn of all these il
legal combinations, and placed at the
head of the attorneys generaj's depart

has under him 76 district attorneys scat
tered throughout the various states of
the Union, the duty of each and every
one of which is to enforce this anti
trust act, and according to- hia official
report of May 29, 1900, to congress, out
of 13 suits instituted under this law.three
have been begun under his administra
tion, one in the case of the United States
versus Anderson, begun June 7, 1894), de
cided against the government on the
ground of want of Jurisdiction. The sec
ond was the United States Coal Dealers'
association, recorded January 18, 1893,
the third one the United States versus
C. and O. Fuel company, not yet decid
ed. "This is the magnificent record of the
present national administration and the
complete nullification of the most im
portant law upon the statute books up
on this subject since the beginning of
our government.
"The trusts utterly failed in defeating
the Sherman anti-trust act; they were
completely routed by the Judiciary in
the final test in the supreme court, and
they have now begun the dangerous pol
icy of paralyzing the executive arm by
means that are so palpable that he who
runs may read, and none but the most
skeptical can fail to be convinced."
In concluding Mr. Monett said:
"I believe that William McKinley and
John W. Griggs, his attorney and his
executive officers have willfully, pur
posely and knowingly paralyzed the ex
ecutive arm of this government for the
last four years and prevented the en
forcement of the common law and stat
ute law, both criminally and civilly,
against these law violators. And the
hour has now come, and the only time
we will have for the next four years, as
voters, to legally and constitutionally
smite them for this hypocrisy, to resent
this violation of officials duty, and we
should vote against every elector that is
pledged on the Republican ticket to per
petuate this great wrong in our repub
lic. "William J. Bryan may not accomp
lish all that we expect or all that we
hope for in this behalf, but I believe him
to be thoroughly honest, sincere and a
determined man, and while I do not
agree with him in all that he advocates,
yet I am forctd to take one side or the
other on this great question, which for
the masses is the paramount issue, and
in the name of patriotism and for the
sake of our republic and to prevent the
threatened danger that Senator John
Sherman and the other Nestors in the
councils' of our government have so
graphically prophesied and which I
firmly believe will come to pass if not
checked, I propose to cast my vote for
that fearless, upright champion of the
people, William J. Bryan."
