SILVER IS NOT ALL
Former Illinois Governor Discusses
Next Campaign Issues.

VIEWS ON IMPERIALISM

CHICAGO, August 5.-Replying to the
question, Should free silver coinage at 16
to be the paramount issue next year,"
ex-Gov. John p. Altgeld said: mo, not any
more than any other one of several issues.
1t is all nonsense to suppose that a conven-
ton by resolution makes any one thing the
paramount issue everywhere.
''There are those with whom 16 to 1 will
be the paramount issue, but that will not
make it so with. for example, commercial
men. They naturally regard the tariff and
most important issue. Out in these great
labor districts government by injunction
forces aside all other issues. With other
people other matters are paramount, as, for
example, Imperialism, the Anglo-American
alliance etc.
Would Not Mention a Ratio.
mo, l would not in any way attempt to
make the platform top-heavy with a 16 to
1 declaration. 1 don't believe that l would
mention the ratio at all. I would simply
put into the platform a declaration re-
affirming the monetary policy heretofore
advocated by the democratic party. Other
old issues should be treated in the same
way, while new issues should be handled
more in detail for the purpose of making
the position of the party very clear on
them. This should be the treatment of the
Asked what he thought of the imperial
istic issue, he said:
when l say Imperialism, I don't mean
expansion. This is a great country and it is
bound to grow no on legitimate lines and
expand in natural directions. 1 think that
order should be restored in the Philippines
and the people there be given good form
of government. We ought to set them going
in the right direction and see to it that no
other power interferes with them.
Would l withdraw the army at once?
would. soon as possible. Still. we should
not do anything ridiculous. We have got
into a wrong position there and must get
out of it automatically and decenty. But

and menaces against liberty must become

Question of Government Ownership.
Another great question is that of gov
eminent ownership. Municipal ownership
leads up to government ownership, and on
this question the people are far ahead of
the politicians. 1t is to be great struggle
with the trust question, for great monop-
olies are interdependent, and the railroads
are the reliance of many of them for Sc
curity in maintaining their monopolistic
privileges. Let the government take the
railroads, and the monopoiies will begin to
totter, and some of them will fall

American press comments, fewer filings of
ehurls and such terms.
Other representatives of the Canadian
government, their press and people general
ly, are anxious that the invitation should be
accepted. They think that it would go far
to healing the slight breach that has been
made. They are not at all bumptious or
aggressive in their attitude upon the boun-
dairy question, but feel hurt at the import
ance and animus given it by so many of
our papers.
No Beiiigerent Tone Noted.
Repre- sentative White. colored. of North
Carolina has returned from a visit to por-
tons of Canada. When asked today about
Canadian opinion on the Alaska boundary
line he said: Il did not hear much talk
about it among the people. The newspa-
pers, however, were full of the subject.
The Canadian papers have been copying
eopiously from the American papers and
making comments. but did not notice any
beihgerent tone to what they had to say.
opinion that the dispute would be amicably
adjusted"
Mr.. White delivered several lectures to
coiored people in Canada. He says that
there is no discrimination against the ne
gro IN that country, but that the race does
not prosper as in the United States. The
colored man, he said, apparently has more
industry in this country than in his adopt
ed homes. Commenting on Bishop Turner'S
scheme for the deportation of the negro
from the United States. Mr.. White said:
THE talk about transporting the negro TO
Africa or some other congenial country is
all bosh. 1t is wholly impracticable. This
country is the black mans home. Here he
must live and Gle and work out his own
destiny. He must help to develop this
country and enjoy this development If it
goes up he must go up with it; if it goes
down he will go down with il. God will
prevail. The negro will secure his rights
some day. The law should be upheld. and
L believe will prevail. Sooner or later the
people of both races will get together and
will unite to suppress lawlessness against
the negro or any other people.
