Great Monopolies.
OVER 11,000 PEOPLE HEAR HIM.
fie U Enthusiastically Welcomed t?
St. Louis, Where lie Makes t
Speech to the Commercial Travelers,
^ ? -
St. Louis, Mo., 8 pec la4!,'?Hon. W, J.
liryan spoko hero Saturday at the Coll?
eeum Hall, under tho au-pLc.es of the
Rational Democratic Club of Com
mercial Travelers. Tho hull Is mid to
?eat 14,000 people. Not only was every
neat occupied, but every available foot
of staifdlng room won also covered. Mr.
wjun was late In arriving at the hall,
having been detained by hi* attend
^ ance upon a mooting of tho Knightg
gT/Viad Indies of Honor at 'voncordli
?, whero he also inadj a brief ad
titjf, Dr.yan had wrrlred in tho
' ?lty about oWoctC^in^S h?>re from
: Ea.st St. Louis, tie was escorted across
tho Mississippi b/tA- committee of tho
commercial travelor who met him lit
tie Illinois city. They brought him
into this city in a carriage drawn by
fovr cream white horses, and followed
by 20 other carriages, all drawn by
white horses, and accompanied by a
mounted guard and a largo squad of
t>oHce.
Tho meeting at the Coliseum was
prdfcldcd over by J. \V. Jump, chair
man of iho Commercial Travelers'
Club, and the time previous 4o Mr.
Bryan's arrival was filled by other
speakers. The first of these was Hon.
John A. Lee, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Covernor of this State, and
himself a "commercial traveler, and by
Hon. Webster Davis. Mr. Davis took
occasion to reply to the recent charge
that he had received money from
v President Kruger for taking a position
In favor of the Democratic ticket in
the present campaign. He said that ho
had gone to South Afriea <9 visit a
personal friend of his, who was consul
there. Ho then said:
"I have born accused of an infamous
crime by men I do not know and who,
I have no doubt, are Retting big pay for
what they are doing. I challenge them
to produce a singlo latter that 1 havo
ever written or to bring forward any
other legitimate proof to substantiate
their charge.'*
Mr. Davis said that since he had tak
en his position his crlpplcd brother,
who had held the place of assistant
postmaster at Kansas City, had been
deprived of his office.
Mr. Bryan received a great ovation
when he appeared on the sta?e. He
read his speech from manuscript and.
Ihe entire document was well received.
Beginning his speech, lie ssid: "The j
lamco-t of DavifV over Absalom is one
of the most pathetic passages of the
Old Testament. The fdet that the son
was In rebellion against civil as wc'l
as parentlal authority did not shake
the father's affection, and the anxious
query, 'Is the young man, Absalom,
safe?' lingers in the memory of all who
study the life of the great Hebrew
King. And, yet, the Interest which
David felt in his pon. Absalom, has lt3
parallel In the more than 10,000,000
families which make lip tho American
people.
"No language can dopcribe ft moth
er's love, or overstate the nbidin? in
terest which tlio father feels in th)
welfare of hlvi child. From the time
when the mother'* life hang* in the
balance at tho hoy's birth nnfll the
death dl tho parents there is scarcely
a waking hour when the son is not
prosit In fhelr though s nnd plan.'. It
- to Utislvarental devotion, so unlvor
reoognlsed, that I desire to ap
"Occasion. 4
ixld call the attention of every
" father and mother to preaent political
aiid Industrial conditions. I would
ask them to analyze these conditions,
v, investigate their c?usf* and their ten
dencies. I would pre-s upon thenj this
question: 'la the young man. Absalom,
jafe?' Are you satisfied with the p?k
alblflties and the probabilities which
?a now open before your son?
a- "Is ho safe when foreign or domestic
yw financiers ere allowed to determine tli?
monetary system under which he

"Is he aa'fc-when national Mnks con
