Wearing Yellow Glasses.

Hitherto workmen and others who
had to bear very strong white hight in
their work or profession have been in
the habit of wearing blue glasses to re-
heve their eyes from the possibility Of
being blinded. This is the case with
sailors who operate the powerful search
lights that are now SO necessary an ad-
junct TO the war vessels and commercial
craft. especially il their eyes happen to
be blue or gray. But recently it has
been demonstrated that yellow colored
glasses will serve their purpose better,
and it is expected that they will be
used hereafter.

Construction AGAINST Destruction.

Construction Against Destruction.
The world has no use for the destruc-
Zionist, for the person who tries to
break down and destroy, without offer
ing anything. in.lieu of that to which
objection is made. The democratic
party does more than object to, and
find fault with the present war in the
Philippines. 1t proposes to offer to the
liberty loving people of these Asiatic
islands, that for which they have bat
tied for more than 100 years. An as
surance such as we gave the people of
Cuba would end the war in short order.
Our armies could remain, as they have
in Cuba, until order was fully restored
and the property rights of every one
duly respected. This would enable us
to write upon our flag national liber
ator." We would have no trouble in
securing, from people so generously
dealt with, such naval stations as we
might wish and such trade treaties as
might be considered desirable.

assassination Of democratic institutions,

Third. We View with alarm the multiplica-
ton of those combinations of capital commonly
known as trusts, that are concentrating and
industry, crushing out independent
producers oflimited means, destroying compe-
tition, restricting the opportunities for labor,
artifcially limiting production and raising prices
and creating an industrial condition different
from state socialism only in respect that under
socialism the benefits of production would go to
all, while under the trust system they go to In
crease the fortunes of the few. These trusts and
combines are the direct outgrowth Of the policy
of the republican party, which has not only fay
ored these institutions. but has accepted their
support and solicited their contributions to aid
that party in retaining power, which has placed
the burden of taxation upon those who labor and
produce In times of peace and who fight our bat
ties in time of war, while the wealth of tho
country is exempt from these burdens. We
condemn this policy, and 1t is our solemn con-
viction that the trusts must be destroyed or they
will destroy free government and We demand
that they be suppressed by repeal of the protec-
tive tariff and other privilege comforting legis-
alton responsible for them, and by the enact
ment of such legislation. state and national. as
Will aid In their destruction.
Fourth. We condemn the present system of
letting convict labor by contract to private per-
sons or CORPORATIONS as now IN vogue IN inc state

Three Questions.

i /.
If a white man has no moral or legal
right to make slave of a colored man,
how can it be morally right for white
nation, or any other nation for that
matter, to engage in a war of conquest
against q weaker people2
This great nation wiped out the stain
of human slavery with the blood of
hundreds of thousands of its best sons,
shall 1t now engage in the business of
holding slave colonies at the muzzle of
rapid fire guns and lines of bayonets2
Does not the new world nation that
sends it's legions to subjugate the people
of the islands of Asia, tread closely in
the path of the slave trader who sent
his ship to Africa for cargo of slaves
during the early years of the present
century?
