Mckinley asserts that the Philip
pines belong to the United States by
right of conquest. If that is the case,
what prompted this government to pay
Spain $20,000,O00 for the islands? In
either event, what right had the ad.
ministration to impose n government
upon 100000 people who don't want
toacceptit and who are fighting against
Iit? But Mckinley can not be logical
In discussing the Philippine question.
He wishes to erect an argument that
will justify his course OF conduct, but
the facts are against him. Therefore,
his only course Is to ignore and dlstort
the facts. There can be no doubt that
the Republican administration has blum
dered badly In this lmperialistic cam
paigli. The people are opposed to 1t,
and President Mckinley is at his wits
end In vain attempt to bolster up
his position by badly constructed and
fal.acious arguments.
Porter Says Europe Is Prosperous.
Robert T. Porter, whose relations to
the Mckinley system of prosperity are
substantially those of a photograph to
n business office, says that Europe is
also very prosperous. This talking ma
chine is now in London, and his opinion
of European commercial and indus
trial matters is thought to be so i'm
portant that 1t is transmitted by spe-
clal cable to the American. press. Mr..
Porter says that he has visited NIL the
countries of Europe except Spain and
Portugal and that he has met flush
times wherever he has been. Mr.. Por-
ter was struck witltsthe air Of gen
eral prosperity" WORK Is plentiful and
there is nowhere an appearance of
want. In the continental cities, in
Guiding Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Am
sterdam, vast numbers of buildings
are under construction. The demand
for iron work is greater than European
manufacturers can supply, which is
the reason why contracts are awarded
to American manufacturers. Europeans
are buying large quantities Of Ameri-
can machinery, with which they manu-
facture. articles that come in compe-
tition all over the world with similar
articles of American manufacture.
They purchase their tools of us and
then undersell us on our products

DEMOCRAT VOTES NOT SCARCE.


~ is 10 the interest, of course, OF the
nepuoicans TO Keep alive the belief
mat the democrats were so badly beat
en- the last Presidential election that
their chances OF success next year are
very shght. AS n matter of fact, how
ever there was not a remarkable diner
ehce Detween the two parties In the
'o.ai popular vote.
mckinney led Bryan by almost an
even OOe,ooO, but II the Republicans
i,aa poiied loo,ooO votes less than they
did they would have been In minority,
aor the total opposition east within

Inc change aof one vote in twenty
from Mckinley to Bryan would have

iss'oco ballots that We're cast by the
disgruntled Democrats for Palmer had
renamed with the regular party NOM
NEE change of only about one In thir.

II is not true, either. as the Republi-

"The flag" declared President Nc
kinley, in his speech at Ocean Grove,
"does not stand for one thing in the
United States and another thing in
Porto Rico and the Philippines"
Let us see whether it does or not.
The Thirteenth Amendment TO the
Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that neither slavery nor inyo.-
untary scrvitude, except as punish
ment for crime, shall exist within the
United States or any place subject to
their jurisdiction"
The flag on American soil proper
symbolizes this spirit of universal lib
erty to remarkable degree. Only in
exceptional cases, where corporation
owned judge issues injunctions against
strikers quitting work, is there such
thing among us as involuntary servi-
tude.
But our brethren, the Moros Of the
Sulu group, are not so fortunate, al
though they live under the same flag.
and their Sultan, for consideration,
has agreed not to shaul 1t down.
Among them, a prominent writer who
has just visited the sultanate declares
girls of 10 are valued at five bushels
of rice. Another magazine contributor,
John Foreman, informs us that "slay-
cry exists in the most ample sense"
We should think 1t does, when, in adj
dltion TO slavery being hereditary, pris.
oners of war, insolvent debtors and
captives secured through piratlcal ex-
petitions become bondmen.
Whetherthese prisoners of war, book
ed for sale to the "Dutch planters of
Borneo,' will in future be captured I'M
der the flag which s'does not mean one
thing in the United States and another
In Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES" the
President does not make quite clear.
