Bryan Closed a Hard Day Work At Joliet. TWO ADDRESSES AT PEORIA. CROWDS EVEBTWHZB2 LAB02 AND IB SOME INSTANCES ULHENSE. A TOUR IN MICHIGAN TO-DAY. Joliet.

111.. Oct. Mr. Bryan concluded the Uat speech of th day at a few minute before 11 o'clock. He had begun st Qulncy at o'clock, and be made sixteen addresses during the day, or one more than one speech for each hour of the day oo-cupied.

The places at which he spoke were: Quincy, Camp Point. Golden, Carthage, Macomb, Abingdon, Galeaburg, Tate City, Elmwood. Chitlicothe, Peoria. Spar lan 4. Bureau, Labile and Joliet.

At Peoria he spoke twhe. The audiences were generally large, but those at Peoria. Qulncy and Joilet were especially so. At Abingdon. Mr.

Bryan In his speech at Abingdon, a college town, addressed himself especially to the college boys. He recalled the time when in college he entered the senior year. "My father was dead." he said, "and I realised for the first time that I should have to make my own way In the world. I began then the study of political economy, and I then determined to go In life where my conscience should lead me." He said that he believed that all men should form early standards of life. Mr.

Bryan said that militarism would hold up before the young men new Ideals representing force and conquest rather than the other ideals of peaceful progress. Elaborating this ides, he said: "I beard a sermon not long ago delivered by a young man born In a for-elrn land, and in. the course of bis remarks It took occasion to eulogun Lord Roberts and to ve him the first place among Englishmen of recent days. I could not help thinking of Gladstone, whose genius and character for sixty years Illumined not only the history of bis own country, but the civilisation of the world. Gladstone Is to be thrown Into tb background In order to make room for this new hero who earna his fame by destroying the Importance of two little republics.

What will be. the result on the character of our nation If the thoughts of our young' men are turned away from the arts of peace to the science of war?" In Abingdon more rat traps are manufactured than In any other town in the United States, and Mr. Bryan referred to this fact, savins: "I under. stand tbat this is a Republican community, but I fear you people have given so much attention to the catching or little rats tbat you have neglected the large once. I understood you make here the beet rat trap for little rats, but the trust is a far more dangerous rat than your traps catch, and Republican genius has thus fsr Invented no remedy.

The trust rat eats ltsway Into every Militarism is another rat that the Republican party seem eposed to turn loos rather than to catch. It will devour the. rubetance of the people and steal away many a boy from his mother. "Imperialism Is still another rat wh eh not only preys on the material substanc of th country, but threatens to eat Into the- moral fabric of the nation. Do you not think It Is time to give some attention to the larger rats?" Several Brief Stops.

A brief stop was made at Gklesb'trg. The' original programme did not include a speech "at tbat place, as it Is conceded very strongly Republican, but It was decided at the last moment hot to pass tbe town without any notice. Accordingly Mr. Bryan spoke for about ten minute. He had a large audience.

Unscheduled stops were also made at Tates City. Elmwood and Chllllcothe. At Tates City Mr. Bryan said ther waa no mor pitiful tight tn the world tbat that of a man wtth his nose to th grind-s ton when was turning th atone himself. The remark was addressed to Republicans In connection with the trusts.

At Paoria. i When Mr. Bryan reached th courthouse squar In Peoria, the side on whlrti the speakers" stand was erected was crowded. It was imposslbla fsr Mr. Bryan's vole to reach one-half the audience.

After discussing th trust question Mr, Bryan took occasion answer tbe charge that he la being- paid for his- speeches. In pert he said? I am not ss rich a man ss you would Imagine from reading th Republican, papers. 1 And difficult to reconcile tb statements of Republican papers mad about my financial condition. One time they say that 1 am so ambitious that I would spend all my money to be President snd another time they say that I am so avaricious that I wiU net make a speech unless I am paid for It. I notic a criticism in th papers that th people of th towns through, which our train passes have contributed to th expenses of tb train, and It wa suggested that It was tor my benefit.

I ned not tell you that I receive nothing for making speeches; but. my friends, I want you to know hat when men ride on trains they miMt either pay or els tb railroad companies must furnish tbeia with re rides. don't want a railroad to carry our train through the State, and therefore the Stale Commute paid about a thousand dol'ara for the train for yesterday and to-day. beiieve it Is better for peopl to pay their way and to be Independent than -to hav corporations run tliem sfter election.

Mr. Bryan spoke on the general Issues of th cam paign, saying: "As I pas along th street and as I look into th face of some careworn women wbo never get a chance tak a suaaoer vacation at some pleasant wa-terlns place, I wonder how those husband and son of thos womea can and tn tbetr heart support the policies which artoKlay amassing great weaota In the hands of a few people wKh a rapidity never known before in the his tory- of th world.

From th way th Republicans talk you would Imagine that th Republican party wa responsible for a large crop when you hats a laxga crop, snd If th crop fail It was warning to you never to desert tn KepuMicaa pany. Mr.

Bryan again referred to the editorial on the pension question, which appeared In the Omaha World-Herald, with which he was formerly connected. He said that the editorial referred to was printed -long before he was con. aected with tbe paper, "yet, I doubt not," he said, "that every old soldier will receive a letter In which it will be stated that am the author of the ed- ItorlaL- "I have already received one." shout. ed an old soldier In the crowd.

This Is only the beginning of wonse evils, and yet tbls alone is sufficient to steal tbe freshness from tbe face.
