THE TRIBUNE, MINERAL POINT, WIR, THURSDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1000.
Han-y every day. That hearty laugh
and joyous disposition of his braces us
up and 1 am glad to be among his
mends and people tonight. The para
mount issue is, w hat is for the best
interests of our people, each individ
ual and the whole country. My Hf e
has been spent as a business man. 1
am in public life because 1 felt it was
m> duty. r left my business in D95
be ause 1 thought 1 saw that unless
a change was effected in this country
we would go down hill even more
rapidly than we had been going
Nearly all of our greet industries
were paralyzed. Everyone seemed to
have lost confidence in the future, and
it wanted some man whose character,
whose ability, whose integrity oi pur
pose, and whose patriotism would
gather around him the support of all
loyal public spirited American citi
zens to save this country from com
mercial ruin. Such a a man was
William McKinley.
“He was nominated and elected and
since then this republic has passed
through four years, second in import
ance to none of the four years preced
ing. He has served his country and
li;us placed it in the front rank of na
tions. commanding the respect of all
others, having risen from a debtor to
a creditor nation. What better proof
is there to she. that we were right,
that McKinley was right, when in
throe and a half years we have resur
rected the business of this country
from despondency and gloom, have
again lighted the fires of our furnaces
and have set in motion the wheels ot
industry in every city and today we
are loaning gold by millions to Europe
itself. In order to secure a continua
tion of those conditions we must secure
to the people their confidence In the
future. All business is conducted on
a large scale through confidence.
Prosperity is the only Issue in this
campaign today. Mr. Bryan was ob
liged to relinquish the silver issue.
He was io!d U would not do for him to
talk free silver in the east, and when
Mr. Bryan came to New York—and
watch hiin next week —he was not to
talk free silver. The question of im
perialism was settled to the satisfac
tion of every intelligent man by Mc-
Kinley’s letter of acceptance; what
people wanted was facts. They did
not want wild statements.
“Bryan talks about trusts. 1 have
been quoted as saying there are no
trusts. 1 did say there are no trusts
legally or commercially in existence in
this country. A trust is an organization
whose stockholders do not vote except
through trustees, who hold the stock
for that purpose. Such organizations
have been entirely wiped out by the
Sherman act, and the only monoply in
this country today is that governed by
a patent. To show you that the demo
crats are not sincere in their talk
against trusts, I will remind you that
last winter in congress a resolution
was offered to amend the constitution
so as to give power to the government
to lay it hands upon any pernicious
organization and as far as was neces
sary to protect the interests of the
people, control it. That resolution was
ably discussed for two whole days,
and when the vote came every demo
crat in that house voted against it;
every republican save two voted for
it; and the necessary two-thirds vote
being lacking, it was defeated. Who
was responsible for that. The demo
cratic party under Mr. Bryan's leader
ship and advice.
“What does Mr. Hryan know altout
business? What has he ever dbne for
the woraing people of the I’nlted
States? As you all know, he never
did a thing to help a man who works
with his bands in ills life. Did you
ever hear of organized labor when Mr.
Bryan Vas in congress appealing to
him to aid them in the passage of a
law which would protect their daily
bread" Never. Now in contrast from
the first day that William McKinley
entered public life as a member of
congress from Ohio, he began to mak
a study of tnis question and devoted
his whole life and energy to it. and
so far did he establish himself in the
confidence of the working people of
this country that no working man or
delegation of workingmen ever went
to Washington to get advice or aid
that did not. go straight to William
McKinley (applause), and the advice
that he gof was the result of mature
judgment and honest purpose on the
part of that congressman, until he
was admitted to be, of all others In
public life, the friend of the work
ingman, and he has continued so ever
since (applause).
"Mr. Bryan in his mad ambition
to be president of the United States,
•w'ks to array < la.->a against Hass.
He would bring about a condition of
anarchy and socialism He would
would bring strikes and riots and
blodshed to accomplish his purpose
Hut the people see through his designs
and I have no fear about the result
if this election."

wish to see and hear Senate/- Hann ■
tnd that no one might be dlßappo’ote

i the assembly chamber first, wnib

ye senator, would continue the speak (
ig at the assembly chamber whi!• ‘
Inina proceeded to the gymnasium t- j
neet the great crowd gathered ther<
The assembly chamber w as jammed in
floor and gallery, many ladies being
present. Senator Hanna and Mr. Dol
liver took seats on the platform with
( ommitteeman A G, Zimmerman,
their entrance being the signal for a
hearty ovation. Mr. Zimmerman in
troduced Senator Hanna as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen:—We have
with us tonight the man who was at
the helm and managed the republican
campaign of 1896 that resulted in the
triumphant election of William Mc-
Kinley ns president of the United
States. This year he is again at the
helm and is conducting the campaign
that will certainly result in the re-elec
tion of President McKinley. 1 have
pleasure and honor of introducing
to you Marcus A. Hanna, United States
senator from the state of Ohio,"
Senator Hanna talked about 40 min
utes developing practically the same
points that he later made at the gym
nasium and was at times interrupted
with hearty applause. On his concha
slon he was driven to the gymnasium
while Mr. Doiliver gave an eloquent
talk of nearly half an hour which was
also received with enthusiasm. Brlet
receptions were held by Senator Han
na at the conclusion of each speech
•'lany persons crowding around to
shake his hand.
At the assembly chamber lie said In
part; "When the St. Louis conven
tion nominated William McKinley for
the presidency in 1896, they promised
the people of this country certain
tilings if they could succeed in control
ling both branches of congress and
elect a chief executive. Every prom
ise made by the republican party in
that convention lias been fulfilled to
the uttermost. This campaign is
based simply upon the business propo
sition whether the administration of
public affairs is in safe
hands. whether the principles
adopted and carried out by
the republican party are safe prin
ciples and whether that is tlie founda
tion for confidence which makes busi
ness. If that's true, then do we want
a change? The other day Bryan, in
addressing some workingmen said:
You are slaves of a irnst. They
They could have told him they wore
better paid for being slaves than ever
before in their lives. We have out
grown our home markets and there
fore are In favor of expanding our
market. We are in favor orf reaching
out in the uttermost parts of the world
and taking hold of any and every
market which we can enter by com
petition and maintain our American
wages. Thuts what 1 call expansion,
and if they can torture it into imper
ialism I am willing they should."

HANNA AT WAUKESHA
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN DILATES
UPON QUESTION OF TRUSTS.
FIGURES ON PROSPERITY
Arraigns Mr. Bryan For Trying, Aa
He Says, to Array Class Against
Class—Says Sherman Act Has
Wiped Out All Trusts That Con
stitution Can Reach.
Waukesha, Oct. 16. Senators Han
na ami Frye, and Victor B. Dolli
ver of lowa spoke here to large audi
ences yesterday. Senator Hanna's
-p * eh, In part, is us follows:
1 consider the Issues and results
of this campaign second in import
ance to none other since the founda
tion of the republican party. I con
si P r it of such importance because
it comes down to a pure business
proposition—a proposition in which is
involved our well being, the comfort
happiness of our families, the
maintenance of a policy in the admin
istration of our government, which
means .i continuation of prosjfr rity
which brings happiness to every fire
side and wealth and greatness to the I
nation. I say it 1s a business propo- I
sitlou because In the great widening j
and spreading of our influence and
development the United States of |
America has taken a front rank, its i
influence has spread beyond the bor
ders of our country, and the wealth
that is being gathered to our shores
is the result of our industry and a
tribute to the Intelligence of our peo
ple, (Applause.) Ido not propose—
because time* will not permit—to go
into a discussion of the subjects
which Senator Frye has touched
upon, ft Is an Impossibility that tm
periallsm should find any foothold
in the minds of a single inhabitant of
the United States, foreign or native
born But our adversaries have seen
fit to call this patriotic developmc nt,
this evidence of evolution of business
merely a commercial affair. Well, ray
friends. If (he great development of I
mr resources, the energetic appear- I
ince of industry and Ingenuity, the j
ipening of the markets of th< world, i
fhlch brings wealth to our shores ■
ind happlues.* to our people -if that
a commercialism, I am in favor of |
oinmerciallsm (applause). Now we j
re right up against this one quev j
lot. We have had the object lesson j
•f 1893 to 1897. Do we want to go I
a< k to that period of distress and 1
ovc-rty and wa,-.t, or do we want to j
ORtlnue along the straight path to |
•velopinent and prosperity, whirl i
ill extend far beyond the four yean !
f IT* -i-hnt M K! ley’s next adminls j
ration, because these theories
wicked and deceitful as they are,
will have been buried so deep that no
party, however brave, will ever at
tempt to mystify an American people
by them again I do not propose to
permit \V. J. Bryan to appeal to the
prejudices of the people in arraying
class against class without calling
him down. Today, having forsaken
his free silver issue, having abandoned
his Imperialistic issue, having run
away from his trust Issue, he now
brings before the intelligent people
of the United States that dema
gogical cry of class against
class, tin' poor against the rich, the
employer and the manufacturer,
against the employe, and appeals to
the prejudices and not the reason of
people. Why. I have often said, it and
I shall always repeat it, that I consid
er it is an insult to the intelligence of
the American people for a man who
aspires to the high office of the presi
dency of the United States to attempt
to array class against class and expect
that either t lass will follow him. \V.
J. Bryan when ho stands before the
workingman of the United States and
attempts to array them against their
employers is occupying the position of
a demagogue and trading on what lie
Imagines to he the ignorance of the
people. At Anderson in Indiana the
other lay before an audience com
posed ntlrely of workingmen, work
ing In the tin factories of that town,
several thousand, he rulh'd against tin*
so-called trusts and remember that
he puts in that category every iinlnst
rial concern in the United States, ev
ery large manufacturing establishment
in the country which lias been success
ful, which has multiplied its useful
ness, enlarged Its sphere and builded
up a business which gives employment
to thousands of men. No matter of
what kind or nature that manufacture
may lie. he calls ii a trust, and he calls
the National Tin company a trust, be
cause it is an amalgamation of several
companies, and he also calls it a
monopoly. Why. there Isn’t a man
who has money to invest In this coun
try who cannot build a tin mill if he
wants to.
"There is not any capital In tills conn
try seeking: investment which cannot
enter Into the manufacture of > very
and any commodity which is made in
the United States, except that which
is patented by a United States patent.
(Applause). There are no monopolies
in this country except these which are
protected by n patent right given by
the government. Kvery branch of cv
cry industries Is open to the competi
tion of any and every man who wants
to invest his capital in that kind of a
venture Now he told those work In w
men from the tin mills that was the
way to put an end to trusts, The con
stltntion does not reach them all, or
the laws upon the statute hooks of 111.
United States. The Sherman act
passed by a republican congress has
wipe 1 out all the trusts that can be
reached under the constitution. And
when 1 say trusts I mean the combina
thins of capital whose invest monls are
in the hands of stockholders, hut
whose stockholders have no rigid to
vote, the stock is simply voted by the
trustees in whose care the capital
stock is placed. That is a trust. As
the Standard Oil was. as the Sugar
Trust was. as the Iron Pipe company
was, and as the Trans Missouri Tralllc
association was, all wiped out by the
Sherman act, and the supreme court
of the United States.
"Now. Mr Bryan classes In the rate
gory of trusts every single one ni
these great industries of this country
which have led to the development
and growth and prosperity of our
country, and he told those men that
the only remedy was now until con
gress provided an amendment to tin
constitution which would reach all
these combinations, to put every arti
do manufactured by these great in
dustries upon tin free lbls. Now let
us see what that would do. This tin
industry, until the McKinley bill was
passed, amounted to nothing in this
country. After the McKinley hill was
passed, immediately there sprang into
operation a number of manufactories
of tin. Under the Wilson law-, supei
reding the McKinley law they were till
closed down, but when Mr. Dfngley's
hill became the law of land, imnn
dlately the smoke issued from every
chimney, more mills were built, and
today we are manufacturing ail the tin
consumed in the United States and ■ x
porting it to Europe. (Applause). If
Mr. Bryan's advice were followed, and
the duty were taken off tin, in order to
strike down the so-called trusts, every
mill would be shut, down within twen
ty four hour and the thousands of
men who are today earning good
wages and supporting their families in
comfort would be thrown into idleness I
and suffering, and that same condition
would follow through every branch of
the Industries of this great country. I
Today we are the greatest manufartur
Ing country on the globe. (Applause).
We are exporting more of the manu
factured goods of our shops and fac
lories than we are importing That
change took place on the first of Au
gust, 1898.
"Ami from that flay to thin the

want to turn back the wheels of our
industries? Do we want to give no
tice to the great army of workingmen
in this country that in deference to
theory, to satisfy the ambitions of one
man, we are going to destroy their
hopes for the future? It Comes down
to that, my friends. That is exact!?
what it means, I speak to you as a
business man, as a manufacturer who
has had to do with labor. I know
w hat ho result w ill be, and so does
every business man in tills audience,
t.et that cloud which Dolllver spoke
of appear on the horizon during this
election and immediately every man
who is conducting a large business
will begin to paddle for shore: he will
begin to curtail ills output Nearly
all the business of this country is done
upon credit. Ninety-six per cent, of
tin' commercial transactions of the
United Stall's is done by the ex.-
changes of credit, and the first time
that there is a note of warning, of
danger ahead, capital will be with
drawn from the avenues of commerce,
money will he hidden away, ns it was
from I SIC! to 1597, and the wheels of
industry will slow down, and the con
ditions existing from 1893 to 1897 will
bo brought back upon this country,
only ton times worse, because at that
time we had not far to fall: we were
about at the lowest stratum of any
condition that can come to ns. To
da> we are on the high road to pros
perity. and that prosperity is nothing
more than the normal condition of
tilings In this country, if wo fall now
we have a great ways to fail. And
the shock will be so great, so disas
trous to the commercial and indus
trial interests of tins country, that I
make the prophecy that ten years un
dcr most any kind of an udmlulstra
lion will scarcely bring ns back to
where we are today. Then in the
name of all that Is good and holy, in
the name of the men, women and
children who have come to ns from
foreign shores to better their condi
tion here, lei us stand together,
maintaining the wages of the Annul
can workingman, continuing to build
up these great industries, availing
ourselves of these great reservoirs of
natural wealth that Clod lias given ns
and go forward, brushing from our
paths all demagogues and ambitious
men by telling them that we know our
business and an going to attend to
It." (Applause.)

The Paris edition of the New York

which are intended for wide distribu

within two weeks and will be sent to
about 5,000 addresses in the tinted
States, the second edition will appear
Oct 50 and will contain an officiality

100,000.
The stealing of exhibits, which to
a greater or less extent always marks
the closing days of a big exposition,
has begun. The other night a piano
was smuggled out of the fair on a
false order. Nothing Is supposed to
be allowed to pass out of the gates, as
the exposition as a whole constitutes
a custom port of entry Still the
thieves do not seem to have much
trouble in smuggling out all the goods
they manage to stoal. Ml the exhibit
ors are supposed to have night watch
men stationed near their exhibits, but
this does not seem to prevent the loss
of valuable property The authorities
are gradually shortening the hours
during which exhibits are to he seen,
as tin' shortening of the days qjakes
the prevention of petty thievery diffi
cult in buildings which are not wired
for electric lighting. During the last
days of October the buildings will
probably be closed at 5.50 p in., If
not earlier There seems to he sort of
vague fear here that a coal famine Is
at hand, and wild rumors about coal
costing SSO a ton are heard. U is
not probable that such a serious state
of affairs exists however, in the gen
eral dearth of nows some of the alarm
ist papers are living to revive the
