RECURRING TO FIRST PRINCIPLES

The st. Louis Republic very justly
in the Senate by Mr.. Hoar and that in
the House by Mr.. De Almond, defining
tho true relations OF the United States
to the Philippines. as the embodiment
of American convictions, hallowed by
our Revolution and its Declaration of
Republic would have dared TO chal-
lenge n few years ago. The resolution
Is in conformity to the profession and
practice of human rights for which our
forefathers battled in arms during eight
years with Great Britain and with hired
pay: it recltcs the warranty of our
freedom and independence; and we
must re-afIirm it now. even though it
requires the reputation of Mckinley
and his war, the Republican party and
it apostasy. Shall we follow after the
strangs gods which this dispensation
OF gold commends to us? Shall we bow
to the golden calf OF Wall Street?
What shall it profit a man, If he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?" They laugh at that who laugh
at right and justice, and mock at truth.
But. as the Republic says:
cit Is not to be believed that the
United States Government Is now about
to surrender the faith of its founders
because of the temptation of wider
dominion and pecuniary profit held out
by apostasy. 1t should not be thought
that American principles are only
purse deep, to be forsworn the moment
there is gain in the forswearing. It
rests with the Senate and House Of
Representatives to prove that Ameri-
cans are still faithful to their fathers
faith"
If American citizens sustain McIlin-
ley and his bloody policy. 1t will prove.
not that the Filipinos do not have in
alienable rights TO freedom, but that
American citizens have sold theirs and
are no longer worthy of liberty and
self government.

The Times is for the gold standard.
but not for contracted monetary
SYSTEM" The Times wants the govern
ment to fix the standard of value. but
leave the banks free to issue to the
people in all parts of the land as much
currency as they require In their bust
ness transactions.-Rich Times.
That is, the Times is not for n gold

paper bank promises a 'credt" value
of gold, although they are not money

the banks at will,--the gold standard
being only a bit of legerdemain, or
thimble-r rigging. to give all money and
credit n gold value by law. while re-
ducing the values OF all other things.
including the wages of labor and the
prices Of agricultural land and pro-
ducts to gold scarcity. The eXtrac-
tion of sunbcams from cucumbers is n
weak invention compared with this
game OF a gold standard for n cur
rency of paper promises to pay that
arc legal tender for nothing.

Now the rest of the country Is una
Bile to prevent Wall Street panics. But
the rest of the country can easily pro-
tect themselves from the evil effects OF
Il Wall Street panic. All that is neces-
sary is to give the banks of the other
parts of the country power to issue
their own notes, and when money be-
gins to get tight they will issue those
notes and they Will serve the purposes
of the merchants and manufacturers
living near them just as we'll as any
money of any sort. If the banks OF
Richmond had been empowered to issue
their notes for the past two weeks, the
panic might have ragged in Wall Street,
but Richmond's' business would have
gone OH sturbed.-Richmond Times.
If that be true, even with private
paper promises to pay that are but
evidences Of debt. why will not legal
tender silver coin serve us equally well
rs national money, when English, or
European Nancs make Il run on gold
and scramble for it? In such cases.
indeed, it would save us from being in
volved in the evils of the foreign gold
standard, and our silver dollars at
home at least, would always abound
and be as good as gold.

SENATORIAL PRIMARIES.

The people are faithfully waiting for
developments at Richmond concerning
Senatorial primaries.
A majority of the members, though
committed to Mr.. Martin, are instructed
to vote for Senatorial primaries, and
the Virginian-Pilot does not see how
they can escape, even il they wished
to do so.
1t is not believed, however, that many
representatives are opposed to the pri-
marics. 1t is hard to stand out against
the people. Primaries must and will
be had. and the time Is ripe for action.
1t will be hard story for members to
take back home if no vote is had; or
If they vote against primaries.
Primaries mean direct vote, choice
and voice OF the people. To oppose this
indicates sympathy with machine
methods and desire to throttle the
voice of the voters.
Everybody knows what conventions
and nominations mean In Virginia.
Once nominated every Democrat is
bound to vote for the candidate, or
suffer far worse in casting a vote
against the PRINCIPLES Of the party
by voting for any other candidate. It
is always the personnel of the ticket
the candidate himself-thnt 1t is desired
to defeat. not the party. The party
lash is thus an effective thing in vir-
gnia.
Conventions In cities mean no more
than an assembly of ward heelers and
interested parties, banded together for
some mutual interests and having lit
tile regard for the popular will. In the
country they mean little more. AS to
ward meetings. the less said the better
The Legislature authorized legal pri-
maries for this city. and the people felt
that they had In this some little relief;
but in the last legislative fight even
that was refused by the Executive
Committee.
The Legislature has before 1t time
enough to show It's position. and 1t is
not believed it will allow the oppor-
tunity to pass

IceDted on the other side to maintain
British, paramountcy. It would be x q
crime against humanity to stop L the
war with that question unsettled, and
thus to let the dreadful price already
paid go for nothing. Either
the British flag or the Transyaal6 fl g
must disappear from South Africa.
And indeed that Is as 1t should be.
Sthe Beers are in the right they
should persist In their, struggle for the
expulsion of the British and the es-
Establishment of purely Dutch con-
ifederacy in South Africa. If the
British are In the right they should
continue their campaign for the pres
ervation of the integrity Of the en-
Dire.
Yet even England has not always
fought ito a finish," and only devils in
carnate are for wars of determination
and opposed to compromise. But to
the same effect as the Tribune argues
the N. Y. Sun. Will it pay?
We know that the breaking down Of
England as power of the front rank
In Europe would be contrary to pres
ent interests of our own SO great and
unreasonable that no American Gov
eminent would have the right to sac
rifice them TO our international spmpa-
ithies THE WORLD MAY BE HARD,
BUT WE ARE OF IT.
Not necessarily of that world. No!
although the goldite Richmond Times,
which sometimes affects morality, and
even picty, declares, in the same vein:
But SENTIMENT ASIDE, it would
be a great disaster to this country If
such result should be. Great Britain
r
that this country has. She owns large
blocks of our securities. She has
vast sum OF money invested in Amer
lean enterprises, but more than that.
she is our best customer abroad for
cotton, grain, provisions, tobacco and
other American products. The collapse
of the British Empire would be n blow
to America from which she would not
soon recover.
SENTIMENT ASJDE?" Yes: aside
with Christianity and all piety; aside
with morality and all the virtues;
aside with humnity, pity, mercy and
generous sympathy. Aside with all the
higher and better qualities, capacities,
emotions. impulses and aspirations
that segregate US from and elevate us
above the brute; and when we have
set aside our Americanism, our human
ity, our patriotism and morality, we
shall be fit subjects for the imperial
ism now being provided for us. A
French novelist has already put our
confession of the new faith in the
mouth of one of his characters: my
catechism is comprehended in the be-
lief that Nature teaches ME by example,
She destroys with impressive egotism
everything that stands in her way
She brushes the weak to make room
for the strong. She has NO emotions,
no sympathies, no sentimentalities.
Read your Darwin, your Huxley and
your Spencer again!"
Revotlngly horrible as all this is, it
is the spirit OF the party now In power,
as shown by Its words and deeds.
