adopting a comprehensive federal
measure My view is that the reg
ulation of these great combinations
of capital, whose evils thus far are
more those of apprehension than
realization, can be secured through
publicity of their transactions by
published reports to some bureau
organized by Congress, which shall
collect the statistical information
that will furnish a guide to legis-
lation, and through subsequent in
ternal revenue taxation, so imposed
upon the franchises and privileges
of corporations as to compel all
corporations to assume some pro-
portion of the burdens of the federal
government, and so graduated as
to handicap the corporations having
monopolistic tendencies in their
competitor with individuals who
are engaged in enterprises of like
character | am opposed to lower
ing the tariff wall as to trust pro-
ducts. The substitution in our
markets of the products of foreign
trusts for products of American
trusts simply dispIaces American
labor to the advantage of foreign
labor. The true remedy is within
the tariff wall. | do not believe
that we can restore American com
petition by belaboring American
enterprises with a foreign club.
COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.
Fifth. AS to expanslon-l be-
lieve in commercial expansion, save
that harmonious and legitimate
growth which embraces contiguous
continental territory, anu adjacent
islands necessary to the protection
OF our coast. In our scheme of ter
ritorial growth, the Philippines
have no part, but they may vel
be included in our scheme of com
mercial expansion, and coaling and
naval stations may well be secured
there as part of that expansion
Our action with reference to these
islands must be controlled by exist
ing conditions and not by mere
theories. We are in possession o
the islands, though that possession
is disputed; we have certain obliga
tions to discharge to civilization anc
humanity; it is our duty to restore
order and to esta blish stable gov

NEWhHND'S
GUESTS.
THE OPPOSITION FORCES
ENTERTAINED AT
DINNER.
Discussion Over Opposition Poll
cg---Pichardson, De Almond
Bailey aPd OTHERS Make
Several Speeches.

The Washington P0St contains a
column article descriptive of a dim
ner given by Mr.. Newlands to the
leading Congressmen of the Demo
cratic, Silver Republican and Pop
ulistic parties, at which a prolonged
discussion took place regarding the
! lines of action that should be pur-
sued in the present Congress with a
view of furnishing record for the
next campaign The Post says:
at was a very notable banquet oi
Democratic aud opposition mem
bers, as the following list will show:
/ Representatives Richardson and
Carmack, of Tennessee; Clark,
Cochran and De Armond, of Mis-
souri,; Shafroth and Bell, of Col
orado; Levy, Chandler, Mcclellan,
Sulzer and Cummings, of New
York; Wheeler and Berry, of Ken
lucky; De Vries, Of California;
Allen and Williams, of Mississippi
Wilson, OF Idaho; Howard Living
ston and Fleming, of Georgia
Bailey Of Texas; Lentz, of Ohio;
Underwood, of Alabama; Otey, OF
Virginia; Meyer, of Louisiana;
Dinsmore, of Arkansas; and Sibley,
of Pennsylvania. Ex- Represen-
tative Hartman, of Montana, and
ex- Representative Towne of Min
nesota, also graced the board.
"At Mr.. Newland,' right was the
minority leader, Mr.. Richardson,
and at his left the wit of Tupelo,
Mr.. Allen. Directly facing Mr..
Newlands from the opposite end of
the table was the ex leader, Mr..
Bailey, of Texas
After the menue had been com
pleted, Mr.. Newlands arose and
outlined his views upon the leading
issues of money, trusts and expan-
sion, aud stated that the purpose OF
the meeting was to draw out the
varying views from the different
sections of the country, with view
To harmonizing upon essential
issues.
De Armond of Missouri, Siblev of
Pennsylvania, Towne of Minnesota,
and Bell of Colorado also presented
their views and the banquet closed
about o'clock after closing speeches
we're made by Bailey and Richard
son.
Though the dinner was private
and confidential it seems that re-
porter of the Washington Post sue
ceeded in obtaining partial hear
ing of the speeches, and Newlands
is quoted at considerable length
and in way which inaccurately
represents his views. On the fol-
lowing day Mr.. Newlands replied
in a letter which We also publish
in these columns.
Editor Post: The dinner to the
Opposition to which you refer in
this mornings Post, was not intend
ed to have any public significance,
and | was quite surprised to find il
the subject of notice in your paper
AS some space is given to an in
accurate statement of my remarks,
which may lead to misapprehension,
| beg leave to give correct state
ment Of my views upon the questions
referred to.
First. l hold it essential that
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1899-12-23

to the Republican party IN the next
camplign, represented now by the
Democratic and Silver Republican
parties, should be amalgamated by
thorough organization and by
unification of action on essential
issues, and that they should present
to the country police of construct
i've craftsmanship and not a policy
Of mere negation.
COMMITTEE TO SHAPE OPPOSITION.
Second. believe that a step in
this direction would be the organi-
cation of a Congressional committee,
equally representing the different
sections of the country, the East
ern, the Middle States, the Pacific
and mountain States as well as the
Southern States; that it will not do
to submit the shaping of our legis-
tative policy and the record of our
next campaign unreservedly to
Southern Democracy, which now
preponderates in this Congress, able
and patriotic though it be, but that
it is essential that the Democracy
of other srcriuIrs Of the country,
where real competition exists and
where potent opposition quickens
the energies and stimulates deliber-
alton aud action, should be taken
into account Such a committee,
in touch with the opposition MEM
bers from every section of the
country, could do much toward
shaping the course of the opposition
in practical lines, and could formu-
late propositions for discussion in
caucus in such way as To insure
harmony in Congressional action.
RATIO A SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION.
Third. Starting with the as
sumption that the next Democratic
platform must declare unequivocal-
ly for bimetalism in this country,
that is, The free and unlimited coin
age of both metals, / hold that the
ratio IL II matter upon which dill
ferences of opinion can be justly
entertained by bimetalists. In
dividually, | believe that the ratio
OF Is to 1 can be maintained by the
power of this government alone, but
| also believe that the determination
of the ratio is a mere matter of de-
tail. which may be safely left to a
friendly Congress without platform
instruction, and | am inclined to
think that this course may disarm
the fears of many who are with us
in principle, but doubt our power
under changed conditions to main
tain the old ratio; at the same time
| am not insensible to the view
urged by some that silence as to the
ratio may be regarded as an aban-
denment of the entire contention
for silver by many who were with
us during the last campaign. All
that | contend is that the ratio is a
fair subject Of discussion. The prin-
ciple of bimetalism being establish
ed, | think the course pursued re-
garding the ratio should be such as
will secure the most favorable sup
port from the voters.
CONTROL OF THE TRUSTS.
Fourth. AS to the trusts, my
view is that State legislation will
fail in the future, as it has in the
past, to meet the difficulty. The
remedy must be federal one, and
as broad as the entire country. The
theories entertained by the Repub-
lican party as to the powers of the
federal government enable it to
present the remedy, but controlled
