Aguinaldo the Hero of the Massachu-
sets Democrats.

The always premature GEORGE FRED
WILLIAMs's premature Massachusetts, Dem
Dcratic Convention celebrated not only
BRYAN and Organism but AaUINALDo and
Aguinaldism. "If ever murder was COM
mitted in the name Of war" cried the Hon.
CHRISTOPHER T.. CALLAHAN, Temporary
Chairman, "the hands Of the Republican
party are now indeed dripping with it."
The platform drps with Aguinaldism. In
the usual Democratic phrase, the war in the
Philippines is "a war OF criminal agrees
Bion." Iii "wanton and needless, and it is
"a violation OF the principles OF American
constitutional liberty" The Massachusetts
Democrats say that the Philippines should
be free and Independent, and they want to
purge our national honor of the stain put
upon it by injustice and bad faith"
All this Is message Of insult to the United
States, and of cheer and comfort to the
blackmailer who is waging war against
the United States. Even more illustra-
tive than the platform of the pres
ent unpatriotic spirit OF the Democratic
party was the rejection by the Massachu-
sets Democratic State Committee, on the
day before the convention, Of certain reso-
lutions offered by a member, the Hon. Fl.
]. JAoUITH. Here Is part of these reso-
lutions:
THE Democratic party in Massachusetts, repudi
ates the statement Of the Filipino rebel. AGuSALpo
that he has the sympathy OF the Democratic party,
and denounces him traitor to the liberties OF his
race; he is the BENEDICT ARNOLD OF the Philippines.
and has before this taken the money Of Spain to
desert the OF the islanders. leaving his trust
ing associates to the wrath and destruction OF the
Spaniards.
I'VE demand the prompt and vigorous prosecution
OF the campaign against the rebels TO tho end that
order may be restored slaughter and misery stopped
and civil government Instituted"
Only Mr.. JAoUITH voted for the resolu-
tions. The State Committee, by rejecting
them, said, in effect, that AGUINALDo
has the sympathy OF the Democratic party
OF Massachusetts and that the campaign
against him should be stopped At no
time, not even in the 1864 period of Demo-
cratic madness and folly, has the Demo-
cratic party anywhere sunk deeper than 1t
has now sunk Ia massachusetts,. 1t abuses
the United States and slavers over their
enemies.
Some OF the States have risen in our
favor" says AGUINALDo, Especially the
Democratic party" He lied about the
States, but he told the truth about the
Democratic party.

CHINESE CANYor LAND AT MANILA

The Cabinet Decides to Enforce the Ex-
clusion Act in the Philippines.
WASHINGTON. Sept 22-In the absence from
tho city OF Secretary Hay. Acting Secretary OF
State Hill attended the Cabinet meeting to-
day to discuss request made by the
Chinese Minister. WI Ting Fang. The Minis
ter has asked. in behalf OF his Government
that a shipload of TOO Chinese be landed in
the Philippines. The ship has already reached
port. but the Chinese are prevented by our
military officers from landing on account OF the
Chinese exclusion regulations.
The desire OF the Chinese to land seems to
have awakened some unpleasant suspicious
among officials OF the Admin stration. After
the Cabinet meeting one OF the mem bers said
that 1t had been decided to maintain the ex-
clusion law in the Philippines for military
reasons" When asked to ex plain what these
military reasons were. the Cabinet officer said
that IL was hardly proper to make any state
ment about ii now. He was asked IL the Nd
min istration suspected that the Chinese were
to be EN- listed In the insurRent army. and
he replied, after some hesitation. mot OK
acty' No doubt was left that the President
and members OF the Cabinet believe that the
admission Of the Chinese would tend to have
q directly unfnvorable effect on the military
situation. although it could not be learned in
specihc terms what was expected to result
from granting admiss ion. Secretary Root was
directed to send a cableRram to Gen. Otis ask
Ing Tor further information regarding the
Chinese and their object In seeking admission
to the Philippines.

American Capital in Foreign Lands.

The total wealth OF the United States
will be nearly hundred billion dollars
when tho next century begins, and since
the country has grown 80 rich we have
become one OF the first among nations that
seek investment in foreign lands.
For long time the United Statos cut
only a small figure In the export Of manu-
features, not so much because we could not
compete in prices as that we could not
manufacture enough to supply the home
market. We are now in the front rank OF
manufacturers for foreign consumption.
Tho new stage Of development on which We
are entering Is that OF supplying brains
and capital for other peoples.
The fact that six millions Of American
money are going into the new electrical
works at Manchester, England, that other
millions are going into rubber farming In
the South American republics, and in the
past few months important investments
have been made in those countries for rail.
roads, navigation. quarrying, plantations
and other projects. shows the expansion Of
our financial interests. And we have
begun thus to compete abroad before we
are actually forced to it, like some European
domestic field for capital.
Belgium is striking illustration OF the
benefits conferred upon people who find
beyond their own borders opportunity for
investing surplus wealth. In that country
OF very highly developed industries it
became more and more difficult to make
profitable investment for capital. A point
was reached where the people would suffer
II they did not find not only larger outlets
for their products but also wider demands
for their cash accumulations. SO they
sought markets both for manufactures and
for money, and the past ten years have seen
the investment Of scores OF millions OF Bel
gian capital in Russian Industries, in Brazil
and African rubber, and in many other
fields where Belgians supply the cash and
manage the business. Belgian capital is
producing the rubber, for example, that is
manufactured in Belgian factories, and the
entire country is feeling the good effects Of
this widening OF enterprise.
Not the least OF the advantages new colo
MES will bring this country is the stimulus
they will afford in the work OF making
their development commensurate with
their resources, task that will strengthen
US all the more for competing in the
worlds unbounded enterprise.

Commenting upon the decision OF the
Supreme Court OF Michigan. that silver dollars
are legal tender In the payment OF debts. the
journal Of Commerce remarks that while this
Michigan opinion can be OF no service to the
silverites 1t ought to be Of some use to the
cause OF sound money by deepening the con-
viction that we need legislation ending the
present am biguity and making gold the only
unlimited legal tender coins" What the
present am biRuity" is. the Journal Of Conn
merce fails to explain. but there is no ambi-
guilty In its demand for legislation making
gold tho only unlimited legal tender coins. 4"
Such legislation would RELOCATE the silver
dollars to the condition OF fractional silver. and
would be tantamount to reputation OF
$500. 100000 Of currency for which the nation
