So touched was Mr. Bryan by the i welcome that as he stood waiting; for1 ^ the cheers to subside his eyes tilled j with teans and lie strode nervously ! j from side to side of the narrow platI i'i rm. j "How can 1 thank you for this welcome home?" lie said. I "My heart would be ungrateful if, it did uot concentrate itself to your'! I service. It was kind to prepare this I reception. It was kind of (governor j Folk to come here all the way from Missouri. It was kind of Tom Johnsou, that example of the moral courage we so much need in this country, { to lend his presence here. "It was kind in you to fully reeom: |.ense me in being absent so long from ! my native land. L thank you. 1 reJ turn to the land of my birth more ' proud of my eiti/.enship than ever before.'' Mr. Bryant was introduced by Mayor Tom J,. Johnson. His speech I was quite lengthy and here only are given paragraphs showing the central thoughts. On being introduced ; Mr. Bryan said: i "Like all travelers who have visitI ed other lands I return with delight MINGS BRYAN. to the land of my birth, more proud : of its people, with more confidence in its government and grateful to the kind providence that cast my lot in ' the United States. My national pride has been increased by abundant evidence 1 have seen of the altruistic interest taken by Americans in the peo! pie of other countries, I return more | deeply impressed than ever before with the responsibility which rests upon our nations and more solicitous that we. avoiding thu causes which have led other nations to de| cay, mauy present a higher ideal than lias ever before been embodied in a national life and carry human progress to a higher plane than it has before reached.

' } I MIL )RT MILL, 8. C., THUI is iu a position, as I believe to the edu- i cation of the world, it ought to re- I main in the uttiilude of a mipil and be ever ready to profit by the experience of others. The first message that L bring from the old world is a message of i?eace. The cause of arbitration is making real progress in spite of the fact that the uatious most prominent in the establishment ol' The I league tribunal have themselves been engaged in wars since that court was organized. There is a perceptibie "rowth of the sentiment in favor of the settlement of international disputes by peaceful fiflpaiis. While men ma'- differ as lo the relative importance of issues, and whil; the next Congress will largely shape tlie lines upon whieh the eonuug nrcsidontial campaign will be fought, I think it safe to say that at present the paramount issue in the minds of a large majority of the people is the trust issue. 1 congratulate President Roosevelt upon the steps which lie has taken and my gratification is not lessened by the fact that he has followed the Democratic rather than the Republican platform, in every advance lie lias made. The tai iff question is veiy closely allied to tlie trust question and tlu reduction of the tariff furnishes tin easy mceans ot limning tlie extortion which tin* trusts can practice. While tree trailc would not necessarily make a trust absolutely impossible. still it is probable that few manufacturing- establishments won hi riare iu eut? i into a trust if the Peesid?*nt were empowered to ->nt noon the free list articles competing with those controlled by a trust. 1 cannot permit this opportunity to pass without expressing1 the opinion that the principles embodied in the protective tariff have been th<; fruitful source of a ureal deal of notiticnl corruption as well as the support of many of our most iniquitous trusts. It is difficult to condemn the manufacturers for uniting to take? advantage of a high inrtn schedule when the schedule is framed on the theory that the industries need all the proj lection given and it is not likely that the henetieiaries of these schedules will consent to their reduction so long as the public waits for the tantl I to he reformed by its friends. Plutocracy is abhorrent as a repub- j lie; it is more despotic than an- | arehv. more sellish than bureaucracy. 1 It preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in the hour of its calamity. Conseiencceless eompassionlcss and devoid of wisdom, it enervates its votaries while it impoverishes its victims. It is already sapping the strength of the nation, vulgarizing social life and making u mockery of morals. The time is ripe for its overthrow. Let us attack it boldly, making our appeal to the awakened conscience of the nation in [the name of the counting room | which it has defiled, in the name of business honor which it has sullied in the name of the people whom it has oppressed, in the name of the homes which it has despoiled, and in the name of religion upon which it has placed the stigma of hypocriev. And, if I may be permitted to suggest a battle hymn, 1 propose a sta/a strongest of the poems of Scotland's hut slightly changed from one of the democratic bard: "Columbia! My dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish lo Heaven is sent! , Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil, 115c blest with health and neare and sweet content! 1 And, O, may lleaven their simple lives prevent From Luxury's contagion, weak ami vile; Then, tliro' unearned wealth to wick edness he lent, A virtuous poimlucc may rise ami stand, : A wall of lire around their much loved land." . Democrats and Silver Party. lleno, Nevada, Special. The joint Democratic and Silver party State convention met, organized, adopted a platform and made the nomination of a ticket the order of business for the day. The platform adopted declares that the Democratic Congress needed to enforce the existing laws and praises the legislative work of Senator Newlands. Short Weight Lard. Chicago. 111.. Special.?City Sealer Joseph (jivin directed that suits he instituted against Armour & Company, Nelson Morris & Company, Swift & Company and the AngloAmerican Provision Company on a charge of selling short weight lard. The city sealer declared that he and one of his inspectors purchased five[>oiind pails ol' lard at the stock yards and found them t<> be from three to twelve ounces short in weight.
