To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the speech which the Sentinel says
Leon o. Bailey delivered at Edinburg, on
Tuesday night, is this paragraph:
From the tobacco imports we receive
about thirty-hve million dollars. When
these gigantic monopolies accomplish their
ultimate purposes by annexing all Of the
territory from which these enormous duties
the government henceforth must look to
some other source of taxation upon the
people to make good the loss Of over one
hundred million dollars now annually re-
ceived from the items indicated. 1t is a
point of importance and one which should
carry weight with those who have their
course guided by an unselfish devotion 10
the interests of the whole world"
Mr.. Bailey did not say this at Edinburg
but as it is printed in the Sentinel as
part of his speech, I accept it as embody-
ing his views. Mr.. Bailey is opposed to
territorial expansion and looks upon the
requirement of Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
possible holding Of the Philippines and the
probable annexation of Cuba at an indef-
mite time as the work Of the Sugar Trust
and the minipulatiops of capitalists who
are engaged in the tobacco business.
The assertion of Mr.. Bailey that the rev.
enues derived from the importation of
goods into this country from these islands
will be cut off, should they all be annexed
by the United States. is true. Il is true for
the reason that trade between the States
and Territories composing the Union is free,
cannot be otherwise, all understand It
is also true that the deficiency in the re-
ceipts of the government from the imports
of these islands win have to be met That
proposition will not be denied. Does Mr..
Bailey desire the voters or the Seventh
congressional district to infer that he is
proteotionist? Is he so ardent an advocate
Of the American idea OF protection that he
would give up these new territories rather
than have their prosiucts conne into the

Wilson & McCuIloch Settle with the
Green-GIass Blowers.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind. Oct. 1.-THE controversy
between Wilson & McCulloch, fruit jar
manufacturers. who own plants in Marion,
Paramount and Converse, has been settled.
President Hayes, of the Green-glass Blow
ers' Association, announces that the formal
settlement will be made tomorrow The
terms of the settlement are that the nom
union blowers at Converse will be taken in
the union, and the scale decided upon is
80 per cent. less than the wages of last
year, This is 10 per cent. more Of reduc-
ton than that decided by the Chicago meet
ing. Mr.. Hayes further says that he
thought the union had given really more
than they were justified in giving, but as
the machines had never been used a full
season yet they thought it best in order
that the manufacturers might be protected.
The dartmouth factories will be started
next Monday, and will work ninety-six of
the union blowers. The Converse plant is
now employing thirty-eight blowers, which
will at once be increased to forty three. The
plant here will be started as soon as it can
be got in shape and it will employ blow

clips and their hay into the United States
without paying a duty on them? Is he on
record to that effect?
Mr.. Bailey says we receive annually from
tobacco imports about $35,000,O00 and FROM
sugar imports about $6OOO0,oO0, making $s5,-
100000. That is vast sum, but If Mr..
Bailey will take the trouble to investigate
the statistics he will learn that in a single
year under the Wilson bill there was
brought into this country over 00,000O0J
of wool and wool manufactures; that
while this was going on the sheep industry
of the United States dropped from Sl25, Co.,.
600 in value to $61 100000 in value, and mo-

profits the loss of $95,0OO,OO0 that Mr.. Rasle5

thought that this new market would be a

AGONCILLO TALKS.
AguinaldO's Agent Again Tells What
the FiIipinOS Want.

the FiIipinOs Want.
PARIS, Oct 17.-Felipe Agoncillo, the rep
resentative of Aguinaldo the insurgent lead
err of the Philippine islands, was interviewed
to-day. Agoncillo's apartments at the Hotel
Continental are on the same floor as the
rooms occupied by the United States peace
commissioners. He is DESTROYS Of seeing the
commissioners and placing Aguinaldos
views of the future Of the Philippines be-
fore our commissioners.
Would the Filipinos accept annexation
or a protectorate of the United States?'
Agoncillo was asked.
1--WE want independence he replied, "but
the Fiipinos have a recognized government,
of which Aguinaldo is President, and 1t will
determine our attitude towards protector
ate or annexation"
Should the United States take all or part
of the Philippines, would the Filipinos fight
the United States they have fought
Spain?"
ST cannot answer without possible error;
but think it would be unwise for the
United States to divide the Philippine ISL
ands. They should take all or none
'If the United States give up the Philip
pine islands will the Filipinos continue to
fight the Spanish"
LIllnk SO.
'Is it true the Filipinos do not object to
the continuance of the native priests?"
YES"
"And what of the orders. religious-would
the Fflipincs accept any peace with the
United States and Spain which did not pro-
vide for the expulsion of the orders?''
1.-THE presence and acts of the orders were
the chief determining cause of the insurrec-
ton. 1t would be impossible for the Flip
mos to become reconciled to Spain. We
have repeatedly and vainly sought the right
of citizenship. employing all legal means,
and have risen eleven times in century. to
secure them, and we are now enjoying
them. Peace is only possible under any
government by the adjustment of any or
ders, which as have said. were the chief
determining cause of the abuses and OPP
preston, ard hence the rebelions."
Agoncillo. contrary to the generally ac-
copied version of his visit in the United
States and elsewhere says he has not come
here to seek a hearing before the commits
sion, but to learn the determination of the
commissioners regarding the Philippine ISL
ands and to communicate 1t to Aguinaldo.
Agoncillo, thus far. has not communicated
with the American commissioners and the
Spanish commission while unwilling. natur-
ally, to summon Agoncillo, is very anxious
to know what representations, If any, he
will make to The Americans.
