ern countries. Over in Manila the only
laborers there are Chinese and China is
right at hand. where they can get all
that they want. None Of our white
people viii go to the Philippines. If
anybody goes away from home, il will
be the Filipinos who will come here.
Let Them Go.
CAS- I say, some who supported BIZ
metallism and Mr.. Bryan three years
ago, make expansion an excuse for the
return. Well, 1 would say to them.
you can CO. for as has been said many
times before, this fight for birnetallism
Will be met and won by those who
stand for the people and for principle.
tApplause.) J. And they will tight it out
until they win. (Applause.)
Il have not tried to make speech
for a good while This is a magnificent,
tremendous audience, and it is difficult
at best to speak in the open air, and,
therefore, / will thank you for your
courtesy and kind attention.

us some more.")
The Philippine Trade.
well, 1 will tell you somea more
about the Philippine trade. / Will tell
you what they are doing in Japan.
They manufacture everything there;
they pay their laborers is or 20 cents
day. was down south last winter, and
/ made it my business to inquire at
Memphis and some other places IL they
shipped any cotton to Japan, and how
much. / knew they did. They all said
they did ship quite a good deal to
Japan. Now, these Japanese live in a
tropical cline, also. They take this
raw cotton which they buy in The Unit
ed States, and, with Is or 20-cens labor,
they can nanufa eture any kind of cot
ton goods they want. They manufac-
ture a great deal of it. They do not
manufacture it to compete with u.s. and
they Won't have to. If the Chinese and
Japanese should undertake to manu-
facture iron goods, wooden goods or
cotton goods, or anything else, and put
IL in competition with Us, and we could
see that it WAS destroying our own la
Dor, we would have the power, under
our laws, to stop it. We excluded the
Chinese from our shores because we
deemed ii necessary. If the necessity
was upon us, we would exclude Chinese
goods.
But you will rot exclude the Philip |
pine goods. They will put up their |
plants there, get their wool from Aus
tralia. their iron from this country, and |
their coal is right there in Japan and !
China. The will get their raw mater |
ial, they VIII take this cheap labor and |
teach them to manufacture goods just |
as suitable as any we can manufacture,
for the Chinaman- is very initiative, |
and there is a clause of the constitu |
ton of the United States which SAYS |
there shall be no trade discrimination |
between different parts of our own
country. and they could not shut out
the goods of these F'ilipinos who will |
have the raw material of this country
and the cheap labor of China and |
Japan.
But that will be a temporary ques-
ton. OF course 1 have not seen your
Utah soldiers. but you could not give
the Philippine islands to any of the
Idaho battalion; none of them would go
there TO live. And our boys who have
come back are but shadows of their
former selves. and are mighty glad to
get into the mountains of Idaho again.
1T will be temporary question, be-
cause the sentiment of the American
people Will not allow any plan to sue
ceed which is going TO keep a large
standing army in order to keep in sub
lection people who know nothing of
our civilization, and want nothing to do
with it,
My observation is that the great
question next time, as it was last time,
viii be the silver question. and it will
be stripped of all subterfuge. There
will be no international agreement
thrown in to catch gudgeons with II
VIII be plain, str light declaration.
And, on the other hand, the reform
forces viii rally once more around the
standard of 16 to L. that standard held
aloft proudly and courageously by Viii
liam ]. Bryan .
When Senator Dubois had finished, |
there was quite an interval of time, !
which many of the crowd spent in call

was not present.
