New York World, Is: The presidents
apostrophe 10 the flag was more poeticsl
than accurate. wherever it floats" he
exclaimed, "it is the flag of the free, the
hope Of the oppressed" From the abol.
ition OF slavery to the beginning OF Mr..
Mckinley's war IN the Philippines this
has been true. The oppressed Cubans
saw freedom and promise OF lndepend-
ence in our flag. But what do the Fill.
pinos see in 1t: Does it not to them
8 symbolic, instead OF "a blessed mission
Of liberty and humanity" as the modern
Pecksnitf declares, q demand for uncon
ditioual submission to our 'sovereign:y''
enforced by shot and shell that have
killed more Of them in six months than
the Spanish had killed in twenty years?
Mr.. Mckinley proclaims that ''re-
bellion may delay, it can never defeat
this blessed mission" Blessed fiddle
sticks! Is not this mission-wh,ch ri
quires 10000 soldiers to force "liberty
and humanity" upon a people whose
only demand is for freedom-identical
with what the President told congress
would be criminal sRgression?" And
how can people be ''rebels" who have
never acknowledged nor been subject to
our authority?
Bunoombe patriotism is not what the
country asks OF Mr.. Mckinley. 1t would
like to know what be is fighting for in
the Philippines, and VIII 1t is to follow his
"triumphant peace"-when he gets it.

trade says: Failures of the first half
of 1899, with banking and financial in
cluded, as in all other accounts pub

s49, 664,661. Commercial failures were
1853, with liabilities of s42,062,9 1888. Of
which SIG, 723,353 were manufacturing
and $23,011,36 were trading. In the
second quarter failures were the small
est ever reported in that quarter of
twenty-five years for which quarterly
reports have been made by this agency.
1T is significant of the favorable
conditions ruling in this, as compared
with previous years, that trade advices
point to rather more than the average
business being done Notwithstanding
the checks to demand and shipment
caused by the holiday season"
