In his groat speech at IndlanapoHe
Mr. Bryan got off a good many
fcemoreus jokes at the expense of
Teddy Roosevelt and the Republican,
wfcn, he said, had about stolen ali

aew elaim It as their own. Here are
some extracts from Mr. Bryan's
peeeh that will be enjoyed by all.

that we have been advocating
aU those years. If you want to find
the smile that won't come off you
need not go to the advertisements o!
breakfast, foods; come to Nebraska.
I began to enjoy this some years
age when Mr. Roosevelt comxneneed
to make Incursions into our
jplatferm yard. I was In Washington
at a Grldiorn club banquet; he waa
ike chief guest and sat on the rigli?f
the toastmaster and I sat on the
kher side; and the boys of the club
were Joking him from the beginning
of the banquet to the end aiio.it
what he was taking from the Demovrailc
platform, and when it came
*np time I Joked him too. I mentioned
some of the things, but I assured
him that I did not speak compfainingly;
that, while sorno of the

ho good to see the Republicans
limbing up on our platform that 1
wan much In the attitude of th?
young fellow down In Alabama,
bashful young man, who courted his
girl for a year before he had the
honrag? to proposo to her. One evening
be told her that he loved her
and asked her to marry him. She
wan a frank, outspoken sort of a
girl and she said: "Why, Jim, j
hare been loving you these many
months. I have Just been waiting
you to tell mo, so I could ten
yon." Jim was overcome with delight.
He went out and looked up
at the etars and said: "Oh, Lord, i
hain't got nothtn' agin' nobody."
That was the way I commenced to
toel years ago about this matter, i
tiara been feeling better and better
erer since, and I don't know whU

Will Knd It.
The Government of the United
States has turned its whole deteetlvj
machinery toward unearthing and
destroying the white slave traQlc, as
it exists between the states or between
foreign countries and the
United States.
i? iu tin* iki>1 n nf the DorjartnieriL
of Justice to make one sweep on all
the large cities at once, and strike,
if poBsibie. one staggering blow at
the traihe.
The Uovernment'H authority comes
from the Munn act, imposing upon
the interstate aspects of the crime
peuulties of five years' imprisonment
of a fine of $5,000.
According to information already
received at Washington, Pittsburg )a
the center of the trade, though clews
discovered iu Chicago make that city
an important substation in the circulation
of girls and women througn
tile country.
The first swoop, It Is intended, will
he started simultaneously in Nov/
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chic
ago and mm F rancisco.
Officer8 at ports of entry have
been usked to Increase tholr vigilance
and to Inspect female Immigrants
with peculiar care. Meanwhile
officers at Inland cltie6 will
watch and report the movements u.
all suspects.
In New York some months ago
District Attorney Whitman made an
effort to trap some of the men hack
of the trade In that city, but the.*
escaped. The only way to capture
the offenders, according to the
agents of the Department of Justice,
is to have the authorities of all the
large cities act together.
The Government agents will not
try to "clean up" the various cltien
Fhey will simply go after the lctaders
of the syndicate.
In Chicago some arrests have been
made, hut these are only the beginning
of the general crusade, It in
said. In several cases It was found
that rneu In that city had brought
women from France.
Some of the lines developed la
Chicago by theso arrests can he traced

The State says that In an effort
to save the sight of his right eye,
the physicians attending Prof John

ROBBER TARIFF
How (he Firmer is Fleeced by it WithMt
Getting toy Benefit
HERE ARE SOME FACTS
? "
The Farmer Hells His Staple* at
Prices Fixed by World Wi<le Competitions
And Then lluys the
Tilings He Needs in a Market froir
Which Competition is Haired.
One day last week Benjamin F.
Shively, Democratic Senator from
Indiana, made some telling remarks
in a speech on the tariff as it relates
to the farmer. lie made it just before
the close of the campaign but
it reads just as well now, whatever
the result of the election. Here 'o
his remarks on the tariff, which every
farmer should read:
Jn these closing days of tue campaign
Republican leaders are making
frantic appeals to the farmers to
come to the assistance of the Republican
ticket against the rising tide oi
revolt in the cities. Why should the
farmer vote to vindicate the PayneAldrich
tariff? Or why should ho
give countenance to that cunning dliference-i?-coet,
plus-a-proflt evangel
in which panic-stricken statesmen
are seeking shelter? Government
has no fund out of which to gua~antee
profits, it can legislate pro lie
to one man only as it legislates
losses to another.
American agriculture is a nonprotected
and nonprotectable industry.
The genius of man can not devise
a system of import duties that cou.d
protect the farmer. Every year millions
of bushels of his wheat and
corn and millions of pounds of his
hogs, cattle and cotton go out to
the great surplus markets of western
Europe. Would a single bushel
or pound go there hut for the fact
that it brings a higher price there
than at uome:
Duties of 1100 per bushel of $10
l>er pound could not help the farmer
to the extent of a single penny.
Ho stands between two markets,
neither of which he controls. He
makes his sales at prices fixed by
others. He makes his purchases at
prices fixed by others. He ?el)s Ins
staples at prices fixed by world-wide
competition and theu buys the
things he needs for self and family,
under what conditions? Under the
same conditions on which he solis
his products? No. He buys in a
market from which foreign competition
is barred by prohibitive tariff
schedules, and from which domestic
competition Is removed by domestic
combinations organized under the
.. i
( ?iiciiu ui ?ui:ii auuouuioa.
A protective tariff protects the
woolen niui cotton goods the farmer
must buy, but can not protect the
. cotton, corn and wheat which he hay
to .sell. It protects the fariu inachin
. ery, the furniture, the ironware,
( woodenware, glass and glasswure,
carpets, painta and dozens of other
things which he must buy, but cau
, not protect the oats, rye, cattle or
t hogs he has to sell. It protects the
things he must buy by enabling the
trusts controlling them to write up
artificial prices on them.
Thus the farmer sella at normal,
. competing prices and buys at highl
ly abnormal and ficticious prices
