A kind of paper is made from sea-
weed which is so transparent that ~
may be used instead Of glass for win
dcws.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1899-11-03

The Sulu islands are not part of the
Philippines. They are separate group
south of the Philippines. near Borneo to
which they once belonged. They are
Moslem in religion, while the Philippines
are Christian. Therefore the Sulu group
besides being separate and distinct from
the Philippines, the inhabitants of these
islands have nothing in common with the
inhabitants of the Philippines.
Spain's sovereignty was only nominal,
having been acquired some twenty years
ago by paying the Sultan yearly stipend
for the privilege of hosting her flag over
them. Spain gladly threw them in along
with the Philippines, and Mr. Mckinley
has agreed for the people of this country
to pay the Sultan and his chiefs $500, 900
annually for like privilege that Spain
enjoyed, floating the stars and stripes over
the Sultan and his harem of wives and
his slaves. Nice bargain that is.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1899-11-03

The last reason advanced. by the imper-
ialists is that the Filipinos are not fit for
self-government. Suppose for the sake OF
the argument they are not. Why should
the American people be taxed hundreds OF
millions to make them fit ? What bus
mess is it of ours any how? We have
lots Of things and of work needing all our
time and attion at home.
There are millions OH millions of peo-
pie OH the globe unfit for self-government
as we understand government. Are we
to run over the world and pay for the
privilege of making them fits
Of all the pleas yet offered by the ex-
pansionists, the last is the weakest, the
most ridiculous We venture to say that
there is not a single Filipino that does
not believe they are fit for self-goyern-
ment. 1t is not Filipino unitness that
exercises the Mark Hanna class of British
imitators, but desire to exploit them.
These sage philantropists ask with an air
of feigned surprise, how would the United
States stand before the civilized world If
it Withdrew from, the islands and left the
people there to rapine, murder, pillage
and anarchy?
That is precisely what we are doing for
them. If it has to be done it would be
far less expensive to permit them to do
the rapine and killing. What is the civ
iiized world outside of Great Britain
thinking about the United States now?
That is the important question. What
has the civilized world always thought of
the United States, that sis the crowned
heads and aristocracy of Europe? They
have feared the spread of its democratic
ideas and teaching. They are hoping
now that democratic government has
been dropped and that the subjugating
and colonizng policy of the old world
monarchies has been taken up; that mil
itarism has been substituted for demo-
cratic government. The down-trodden
masses of old Europe had turned their
Eyes Will hope ~ tuls country as tnelF
only escape from the military bondage
under which they groan. What are they
thinking of our new role which Mr..
Mckinley, under his handlers, has inau-
gurated? Their hearts are sinking within
them, aud they fear the pole star of the
Western horizon which they have so long
watched with anxious eyes is about to
disappear in all old world darkness of
militarism.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1899-11-03

Democratic success in 1900, said Mr..
Bryan, is becoming more and more GER
tain. On the old issues we are stronger
with the people than we were in 1896.
The sentiment in favor of arbitration and
an income tax is stronger The opposi-
ton to government by injunction is
stronger. The people better understand
the necessity for bimetallism and better
understand the danger of national bank
currency which places the control of the
paper money in the hands of the banks.
On the new questions sentiment is de-
veloping ssrapidly. Many Republicans
who did not recognize the menace of the
trusts in 1896 are becoming alarmed
They now see the danger which threatens
the nation when an industrial aristocIacy
can arbitrarily control the price of raw
material, the rate of wages and the price
of finished product.
