BRYAN ON TRUSTS.
iie Speaks On The Evils of These
Great Monopolies.
OVER 14,000 PEOPLE HEAR HIM.
fie Is Enthusiastically Welcomed to
St. Louis, Where He Makes a
Speech to the Com mercial Travelers.
St. Ixniis, Mo.. Special.?Hon. W. J.
Bryan spoke here Saturday at the Coliseum
Hall, under the au-pi.es of the
National Democratic Club of Commercial
Travelers. The hall is stid tD
seat 14,COO people. Not only was eveiy
scat occupied, but every available foot
of standing room was al?o covered. Mr.
Bryan was late in arriving at the hall,
having been detained by his attendance
upon a meeting of the Knights
anj} Ladies of Honor at Concordia
Park, where he also made a brief address.
(Mr. Bryan had arrived in the
city about 5 o'clock, coming here from
East St. Louis. He was escorted across
the Mississippi by a committee of the
commercial traveler who met him in
tl e Illinois city. They brought him
into this city in a carriage drawn by
four cream white horses, and followed
by 20 other carriages, all drawn by
white horses, and accompanied by a
mounted guard and a large squad of
police.
The meeting at the Coiisjutn was
presided over by J. W. Jump, chairman
of the Commercial Travelers'
Club, and the time previous -to Mr.
Bryan's arrival was filled by other
speakers. The first of these was Hon.
John A. Lee, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of this Stat?, 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
President Kruger for taking a position
in favor of the Democratic ticket in
the present campaign. He said that he
had gone to South Africa 'to visit a
personal friend of his, who was consul
there. He then said:
"I have been accused of an infamous
crime by men I do not know and who,
I have no doubt, are getting big pay for
what they are doing. I challenge them
to produce a single letter that I have
ever written or to bring forward any
nthor lodtimatp nrnof tn ?nh.-tantiaU
their charge."
Mr. Davis said that since he had taken
his position his crippled brother,
who had held the place of assistant
postmaster at Kansas City, had been
deprived of his offtce.
Mr. Bryan received a great ovation
when he appeared on the stage. He
read his speech from manuscript and
the entire document was well received.
Beginning his speech, he said: "The
lament of David over Absalom is one
of the most pathetic passages of the
Old Testament. The fact that the son
was in rebellion against civil as weil
as parential authority did no: shake
the father's affection, and the anxious
query. Is the ycung man. Absalom,
eafe?' lingers in the memory of all who
study the life of the great Hebrew
King. And, yet. the interest which
David felt in his ?on. Absalom, has it3
parallel in the more than 10,000.000
families which make up the American
people.
"No language can describe a mother's
love, or overstate the abiding interest
which the farther feels in 'h^
welfare of his child. From the time
when the mother's life hang3 in the
balance at the boy's birth until the
death of the parents there is scarcely
a waking hour when the son is not
present in their thoughts and plan*. It
is to this parental devotion, so univer*
sally recognized, that I desire to ap
peal on this occasion.
"I would call the attention of every
father and mother to present political
and industrial conditions. I would
ask them to analyze these conditions,
investigate their oauses and" their tendencies.
I would press upon them this
question: 'Is the young man. Absalom,
safe?' Are you satisfied with the p'fcsibilities
and the probabilities which
now open before your son?
"Is he safe when foreign or domestic
financiers are allowed to determine the
monetary system under which he
lives?
"Is he safe when national bink' roatrol
the volume of money with t hich
he does business?
"Is he safe when the bond-holding
class determines the size of -.he national
debts upon which he must help
to pay interest?
"Is he safe when by means cf taxeo
laid almost entirely upon consumption
he is compelled to contribute according
to his wants ratbeT than according to
his possessions?
"Is he safe when corporate interests
influence as they do to-day the selection
of those who are to represent him
in the Senate of the United S'a'e?
"If he is a wage-earner, and you do
not know how soon he may b<\ even if
he is not now. he is safe when he h
liable to be deprived of trial by jury,
through the system known as government
by injunction?
"Is he safe, if a laboring man. when
he is denied the protection cf arbitraIUM

Mr. Bryan then entered in'o an eshaustive
and severe arraignment of tha
trmits and their evil result.
SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Heavy Rains Have Visited the Coast
Section.
The week ending S a. m., September
10th. was cooler than the preceding
one, although the temperature continues
abnormally high, p.nd it the
fifth consecutive week of excessive
heat. The highest tempcratme was
95. and the lowe-t 00.
I r^itliy 111 IUC W trriv IHCIC v*n.irr a X%r.n
light, local showers, mostly confined to
the eastern portions, but generally the
week was rainlecs. Tlie ground has
again become very dry, and ths improvement
in sonic c:ons and the condition
of the soil for plowing, noted
last week is lest except a: the few
points where frequent showers occurred
this week. The staple crops
arc so nearly matured and gathered
that even the most <opious rainfall
would not improve fh?ir >iald-, but
some of the minor ctops and fall gardens
could be benefitted.
The corn crop is a very poor cn^ as
a whole, as only early planted corn
came to maturity, while late corn is
practically a failure ever the whole
Hta:e. Some corn is being housed.
There is no improvement in the cotton
crop which is from half to threefourths
open, and is being rapidly
picked under favorable weather conditions.
The first picking will nearly
exaau-t some fields. Growth has agiin
stopped, and the entire crop is in
s:ght. either as open co t n or as immature
bolls, and on this basis it It
estimated that the yield will be very
short. There is some rust and much
premature opening. Sea-isiand cotton
3hcws slight improvement. but
blight and premature opening continue.
In places much hay is being saved,
but forage will be short as a rule. The
continued absence of a soaking rain
has put minor crops into precarious
conditions. The ground ii too hard
and dry for fall plowing.
S. C. Press Association.
President E. H. Aull of the South
Carolina Press Association yesterday
issued the following about the coming
annual meeting:
I desire to call the attention of the
State Press Association to the annual

Lithia Springs on the 18th inst. An
Interesting and instructive programme
has been arranged, and Mr. Harris, the
proprietor cf the springs, is making extra
preparations to give tbe ed'tors
and members of their families a most
delightful time. I trust that we will
have a large meeting at this time, for I
am sure it will be both pleasant and
profitable.

One Secret of Youth.
If you wish to retain your youth to
"a good, old age" one of the most important
things to remember is not to
eat too much meat. Meat once a day
in small quantities is sufficient.
Vegetables and fruit should always
be eaten freely and drink plenty of
water. It is a curious fact that most
people drink loo little Instead of too
much water: at least a quail a day is
desirable. A pint of hot water sipped
slowly liefore eating is very good when
a tendency to rheumatic troubles
exists.
Always eat slowly: nothing will age
you more quickly than in improper assimilation
of food, and this is one of
the fauts most of us eommlt.-Pitts
