FOUR ESSENTIALS TO SUCCESS.

shire is out in signed article telling
the Republicans how to win in 1900.
He says there are four lines of policy
which the Republicans must pursue to
insure success.
/. THE Republican party must make
honest and effective opposition to trusts
. NO legislation on the money ques-
ton
3. Remuneration of unlawful political
assessments upon Federal officeholders
and of the expenditure of enormous sums
of money to carry elections"
4. a Republican policy toward the
Filipinos, which shall be intelligibe,
rational and honorable must be shortly
announced
1. If these four things are essential
to Republican success in 1900, Bryan
is already virtually elected. Under this
administration more trusts have been or
ganized than under the administrations
of every other President in the history
of the Republic. The Attorney Gener-
al, who is from New Jersey, has not
prosecuted trust and says he has no
power. Hanna assesses the trusts for
the protection they receive. Whoever eX-
poets 'effectual opposition to trusts
from the creators of the trusts is
dolt
?. The second essential is that there
shall be mo legislation on the money
question" Already the Currency COM
mittee Of both houses of Congress- have
agreed upon bill to pass this session
every item of which shows IAN unneces-
sary exhibition of mere servility to the
creditor class of this and other coun-
tries" 1t will pass unless it is deemed
political prudence to postpone it until
after the 1900 election.
3. In the recent campaign in Ohio.
the Republican managers, led by Uni
ted States Senator and Representative,
not only assessed Federal offceholders
in that State, but in every State in
the Union. 1t was the most fagrani
violation of the civil service law ON rec
ord and yet the subservient Civil Service
Commission took no effectual steps to
punish prominent violators of the law.
Remuneration of unlawful political as
sessments upon Federal officers" is a
reputation of the Presidents most in
innate friends. Will it be done? But
even funnier is Senator Chambers state
ment that the Republican party to win
must renounce "the expenditure of enor-
nous sums of money to carry elections"
Chandler never did love Mckinley and
Hanna and this is a piece of How art
thou, my brother?" as he stabs them UNI
der the ribs If enormous sums of
money! had not been used ''to carry
elections" Mckinley would be practicing
law in Canton and Hanna in trust deals
in Cleveland.
f. Senator Chambers fourth essen
tial is an ''intelligible, rational and hon
orable policy toward the Filipinos, mus
be shortly announced" The Senator fol-
lows this with his views upon the Fill
Pine question which are unintelhgible,
irrational, advocating no aping bf Eng
lands colonial policy, but promising 10
consent of The governed"
If Senator Chandler knows what he
is talking about, the Republicans are
already defeated because they can no
more do the four things he says are le-
cessary than man can go 10 Europe
without crossing the ocean. Is the Sen
ator pointing out that his part is hope
lessly in the tolls of the trusts and
money syndicates or making PLAIN Dem
ocratic victory in 1900?
The tin plate trust has decided to
