Free silver has virtually been aban-
doned BY the leading Democrats as an
Issue. and now the antl-expanalon cry
which was 90 strong some months ago
has been gradually growing weaker and
weaker. There have been numerous de-
sertlons from the Democratic ranks Of
late, following such notable examples
as Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, and
Senator's McLaurln and Tillman, OF
South Carolina. Recently Congressman
sihley not only renounced silver as one
Of the tenets Of Democratic faith, but

iterated BY Colonel Bryan. re has said

FUNDAMENTAL FACTS.

Having long endured with extreme for
bearance evils which finally became in
supPorSable, the United States accepted
an uuwelcome appeal to arms. We did
not and could not forssee all the con-
sequences Of war. What We were
bound to strive for was an overwhelming
victory in the shortest possible time.
That We obtained. 1t left the Philippines
at our disposal,
Then came the question what We should
do with them. II Spain had possessed the
power to rule them well, or even re-
tained the power TO rule them badly. We
might have left them under her sover
eighty, without reproach in the former
case and with some show OF justification
in the latter. But IL we had left Spain
the title she could not have kept the
title long, or anything except the title
for moment. She would have had TO
surrender the tite to another power.
which would have been the signal for
a general war for the possession or partl-
ton OF the islands; or abandon them TO
anarchy. which would have led TO the
same result. The United States, having
already won the appeal TO the final tri-
bunal was able to take possession Of the
islands at the cost not OF an Information
al war. but at the worst only OF a native
insurrection- No other nation in the
world was able to do that. We have done
