it otherwise would have had The Span
ish are now as thoroughly prepared to
resist attack as they can be at all points
and the result of the operations around
Santiago will afford fair index to sub
sequent stages of the campaign. If,
as is contrary to reasonable expecta-
ton, Gen. Shafter makes quick work of
Cervera and the Spanish land forces
equally speedy reduction of Havana. II
the defense of Santiago is protracted
and stubborn we may make up our
minds that the end of hostilities is a
good way off and that the army will
be in for a weary and prolonged cam
paign.
All accounts agree that the work of
moving troops in the vicinity of Guam
tanamo will be one of great difficulty.
Military roads will have to be con-
structed for the passage of artillery.
Field Notifications must be thrown up
pending the advance of the army.
Thickets and forest trees must be
cleared away so that guerrillas and
bushwhackers will be deprived OF Turk
ing places. The army of invasion will
have to clear its way as it moves for
ward and the work must be accom-
plished under the harrassment of the
enemy's skirmishers, who especially
favor that kind of warfare. 1t is not
likely that the approaches to Santiago
will be carried with a grand rush.
While Admiral Sampson has prob
ably pretty effectually reduced the ma
rine Notifications of the town it is not
likely that the taking Of the works on
the land side, which are still intact,
will be holiday task. These works
have been greatly strengthened during
the past three or four weeks and Gen.
Shafter will confront an artillery force
far superior to his own and unless it is
determined to starve out the garrison,
which will take time, the batteries will
have to be taken by storm which will
mean hard fighting and heavy casual
ties.
Therefore it will not do to expect
too much from Gen. Shafter at the
start. Ultimately Santiago will fall and
Cervera's squadron be captured or
sunk, but the job is not to be done in a
day nor maybe month. There is like
ly to be hard fighting before the Stars
and Stripes fly over Moro of Santiago
and our boys in blue garrison the
town.

new departure for Republican Jour
nal to make. 1t is decidedly refreshing
as well as reassuring to have Repub-
lican paper like the Dispatch tacitly
upbraiding it's party for its loya. y to
the money power to whose balafui in
f1uence the Dispatch credits the chang"
in its party from our time honorai
policy of minding our own business
and strict adherence to the Monroe doc
trine to the new and decidedly danger
GUS policy OF territorial aggrandize-
ment, Imperialism and militarism.
The refusal of such an important Re-
publican paper as the Dispatch and SO
venerable and universally respected and
trusted Republican statesman as Sen
ator Morrill,, Of Vermont, to fall in line
with this new policy under the party
call is a promise that the better and
more trustworthy and conscientious
element of that party will join with the
Democracy in calling halt on i'm
perialism and militarism.
The Dispatches wholesome expose of
the far reaching influences of the money
power and its tacit acknowledgment
that Wall street is controlling the Re
publican party and guiding it in its
present efforts to branch out into an
un-American and unpatriotic policy of
territorial expansion is a healthy sign
that that party rotten as it is and no.
neycombed with all sorts of corruption
still contains members who can see the
right and dare speak the truth in re-
gard to it.
1t remains to be seen if the Dispatch
and Senator Morrill, will have the moral
courage to go one step farther and
when the time shall come to support the
Democracy in unfolding the constitu-
tional rights and interests Of the people
against the growing menace of the cor
rupt power of concentrated wealth
which to compass its own selfish and
greedy ends is ready to lay the axe to
the very root of our national life.

AN INTERNATIONAL BANK.

The other day there was passed in
the Senate bill for the incorporation
Of the International American bank.
This is a part of the late Mr. Blaine's
scheme Of 'pan-America." A bill has
been pending in Congress more or less
Of the time ever since the great scheme
was launched and a "pan-American"
Congress assembled in Washington to
consider how to promote trade be-
tween the United States and Latin
America. There is no objection in the
world to chartering a bank to handle
the kind of business contemplated by
this assembly, provided there is moth
ing in the legislation committing this
country in any way to the financial
support of the concern.
The usefulness of such an institu-
ton is extremely doubtful. The in
corporators seem to be imbued with
political rather than business ideas.
Their view seems to be that inter-
Hdtlohdl u duC 10 oOiICtulA6 QullC w
pendent upon the political relations
existing between countries and the
providing by government OF various
facilities and stimulants and not to
any great extent upon those conditions
which determine the course of in
terror trade. For example, it was OBJ
served that the European coun-
tries which had the largest trade
with the countries of South
and Central America had the
superior banking facilities. And there
was an instant leap to the conclusion
that the banks made the trade, and it
was decided that we must establish a
bank with branches in these countries.
But every person of ordinary sense
knows it is not banks that make
trade, but trade that builds up the
banks. There is no objection to an
international bank, but if any one sup
poses such a bank will create trade
between the United States and Latin
American countries he is liable to be
disappointed.
There is no radical difference be-
tween domestic and foreign trade, and
the laws that apply to one apply
with equal force to the other. Our
own citizens will buy where they can
get things the cheapest. the quality,
terms of credit, ETC., being the same.
A foreigner buys things in exactly
the same way, and he does not shape
his commercial course on political or
sentimental lines or any other than the
hard tight lines of trade and barter
The people Of Latin America will
buy from us when they can get from
us what they want at lower prices or
on more favorable terms than they can
get it elsewhere. This is the immutable
law of trade and no amount of inter-
national banks and bureaus will alter
it one whit.

"a SURPRISING ASSERTION"
An Interesting and Remarkable Editoria
From Republican Newspaper.
PittSburg DiSDatch


From a Republican Newspaper.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
A very remarkable assertion is credited
in recent interview published by some
OF our contemporaries to Mr.. Russell
Sage. In this interview, which cites Mr.
Sage as authority for. a number of things,
including an endorsement of the policy
of territorial expansion, the following re-
markable language is given:
II tell YOU" said Mr. Sage. "the money
power rules this continent. Within 500
yards of where we sit is the power that
controls the United States. The people
of this country can't do anything without
coming to Wall street for the capital In
the same way London rules the empire
of Great Britain"
The Bryanite political organization has
been jeered at for talking about the
money power" Debs and his associates
have been ridiculed for attacking it. The
Populists have been made the butt Of
journalistic testers because they do not
want to submit to an alleged something
which has no existence save in their own
minds. From the above language, taken
without reference to the context or the
person who uttered it, it might be taken
as coming from one who has adopted the
views of Bryanites, Social Democrats and
Populists
But that is not the fact. The assertion
is made by one of the recognized repre-
sentatives of organized wealth. The con-
text shows that it is uttered as a boast
on the part of that wealth concerning it's
power 1t is shown there that because
the money power rules this continent,
its principles and embark in the land
grabbing policy, that we have justly con-
demned in other nations for the purpose
that in addition to providing fat places
in abundance for our politicians, the
financial power can have rich privileges
in grants and franchises at the cost of
the people.
The constitution of this nation affirms
that this country is to be governed by the
representatives of the people. The theory
of our national existence is that the peo-
pie, irrespective of wealth. have an equal
of all. But Mr.. Sage AYERS that the power
that controls the United States is within
800 yards of his office in Wall street in
stead of at Washington. or in the cleo
tions by the people. When so eminent a
representative of that interest indorses
the charge made by Bryan, Watson, Debs
and all the rest of them, down to Coxey.
the task of those who try to dispute the
assertion is made rather onerous

THE HAWAIIAN JOB

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan put the
time-honored truth fOrcibly in his re-
cent Omaha speech in which he re-
iterated the fundamental principle on
which the American republic is based
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed" That is as true to-day as it always
has been. But that principle has been
totally ignored by the Hawaiian job
bers.
The present Hawaiian government
holds its position without the consent
of a majority of the people of the ISL
ands. 1t obtained power by revolu-
tionary movement participated in by a
very small part of the population. 1t
gave its position the color of legality
by an election in which the native Ha-
aiians took no part-although the
Dole government now tells us that the
natives of Hawaii are intelligent and in
every way capable of government.
The truth is the natives protested
against the revolution and were there
fore disfranchls2d.
However, the question before the peo-
pie of the United States is whether in
annexing Hawaii "the consent of the
governed has been obtained. 1t is
plain it has not.
The government of Hawaii is COM
posed of a president, council of state
of fifteen members, a senate of fifteen
members and a house of fifteen repre-
sentatives Here are IN all forty-six
persons who alone of all the inhabi
tants of the Hawaiian islands have
sovereignty of Hawaii. These forty
six people were not chosen by the peo-
pie of Hawaii to represent them in any
thing and they do not represent them
especially in this matter. The question
of surrendering their independence to
foreign government has never been
submitted to the people Of Hawaii d.
rectly or indirectly.
On the other hand there is every
kind of evidence that the Hawaiian ma
tives regard the present government
of the islands as usurpation. 1t is
this government that has bargained for
a transfer of the islands with their pro-
testing people to the United States.
The people of Hawaii have been given
no opportunity to vote upon the ques-
ton of this transfer of sovereignty 10 a
foreign power. The people of the Uni
ted States have not been given and are
not be given. if the jobbers at the bot
tom of this scheme can help it,
All opportunity to vote on the
question of its acceptance. 1t is
simply bargain and sale between men
unauthorized by the people of either
country to act; or, to be more exact, it
is to be a seizure by the political agents
of jobbers and spectators in this coun-
try and their correspondents in Hawaii
that is little short of piracy.
