Carte Blanche.

The Republican National Committee
despairing of the election of William
Mckinley by the people, has called
upon the money power OF the country
to intimidate, corrupt, debauch, ter
rorize and starve the American cleo
torates into submission to the will ol
Mark Hanna.
This call of the Hanna-McKinley
gang is signed by Perry Sanford Heath
Secretary of Hanna's committee.
In this call. Hanna, through his
henchman, Heath, brutally tells the
big money corporations and syndicates
they must get votes for Mckinley and
get them "In Your Own Way"
The people of this country know
"the way" used by the money power
in 1896. "The way" was brutal intim
idation, deprivation of work, shutting
down OF mills, threats of panic and
wholesale terrorism of small business
and working men.

WELL, we'll has it come to the
stage that either the STANDARD or the
ANTI-IMPERIAIIsT shall take lessons in
journalistic propriety from the gad-
fly on the hilltop? We guess-nit.
If the STANDARD chooses to use an
occasional slang phrase, it claims to
have enough judgment regarding that
vernacular to select expressions which
ordinarily elicit an encore. There are
times when an off-color wood, like
profanity when a thumb-nail gets
under the hammer, seems to just fit
in the Mosaic OF thought-expression,
adding toning or a contrast that no
other form can give. 1t is only on
such occasions that the STANDARD de-
scends from its imperial heights to
discuss such matters, in kindergarten
fashion, with little Oily.

Cheap Labor In Thurston County.

Right here in Thurston county we
are not without illustrations of the ef-
feet OF Asiatic labor brought into COM
petition with native white labor. The
movement is in its infancy, and it
only requires to be tolerated for lit
tie time to become most serious
menace to the American laborer. DIR.
Powell Reaves purchased last spring
the Virgins ranch, in the Nesqually
bottom. He offered a very low price
for clearing. A number OF white
men, eager to earn a living, AZ dIner-
ent times have undertaken the work.
The price offered was 50 small, how
ever, that they were forced to give up
the work, as it did not yield living
wage. They were unfortunate in be.
ing men who had families to support.
Now there are fifteen or twenty Japs
engaged in clearing DR.. Reaves' land,
at the pig-tailed price offered. They
have no families to support and can
live more cheaply than our white la
borers.
Naturally, men Of means who have
work to be done that does not require
skilled labor, will more and more seek
this cheap labor, and the only hope OF
the American laborer is the shutting
out of the horde of cheap men who
are creeping through every crevice in
our western labor wall. In year and
q half the new Chinese treaty will be
negotiated. The American laborer on
this coast must see to it that the Re-
publican party is not left in power to
undertake that important work
Even now we are threatened from the
Philippines with 100000 or more
Chinese laborers, who will not be slow
tosee that the Is cents or $1.OO a day
to be had in this country, is a big gain
over the IL to 20 cents they receive in
the Philippines. If the Mckinley
Philippine policy is approved and en-
dorsed at the polls, this coast will be
sure to become the dumping ground
for Philippine Chinese. American
voters should vote against Mr.. Nc.
Kinley and his cheap labor policy.

Oily, in reply to a paragraph in this
paper directing attention to fact re.
ported by Gen. Otis, that the war began
by an American picket firing upon a
Filipino, admits the fact, and then
goes on to say that the first shot was
fired by Nebraska volunteer, on
picket duty, with the evident inten.
tion of airing its knowledge of historic
details, at the sacrifice of that caution
which all Republican newspapers are
enjoined to maintain, to avoid giving,
or confirming information of use to
the opposition. ANTI thanks Oly, for
the admission. Good boy. Hyu kum

Close the Door.

The decision handed down by Judge
Estes, of California, holding that the
Chinese exclusion act can not be in
voked against Philippine Chinese, is
stirring up great deal of interest.
There are million and a half of Chi
nese in the Philippines, and under
that decision all our doors are open to
them. The full dinner-pail argument
is seriously in danger. Here is the
best evidence available OF the real feel
ing of the Republican party for the
working man. They can prate about
protection and try and make it appear
that the tariff wall is erected in the
interest of the laboring classes, rather
than the manufacturing barons of the
country, and continue to fool some
people; but when they stand for ma
tional policy of expansion that neces-
sarily opens our doors to a million or
two of Chinese who are eagerly await.
ing an opportunity to enter our labor
markets and compete with our native
white laborers, there can be no further
question as to how the laboring man
is regarded by the Republican party.
He is convenient element in their
campaign calculations, but beyond
that the Republican party has no in
tercst in him or his welfare. More
than that, his interests are diametri-
cally opposed to the interests of the
great railroad companies and manu-
featuring trusts, and no one doubts
but that the Republican party is, by
both interest and inclination, allied
with the money bags of the country.
Let us vote that party out, and let the
capitalists Of this country know that
human labor shall be no longer ex-
plotted to enable them to pay divid-
ends upon watered stock and fictitious
investments.

Was Not the Strike Justified ?

A little while ago, Oily made the as
sertion that the Pennsylvania coal
strikers had been receiving the past
year, forty per cent. higher wage.rate
than they were receiving during the
Cleveland panic of 1893.
AT that time we did not have the
figures at hand to disprove the as.
sumption that a forty per cent. in
crea,e of the miners wage-rate had
been made and that it was amply suf-
ficient for keeping his dinner-pail full
the year round, nor did we believe
then, nor are we convinced now, that
our contemporary had any authentic
information upon which to predicate
such a claim.
The following table prepared by
John Mitchell, president OF the United
Mine Workers of America, gives the
annual earnings OF Is per cent. of the
total employees OF the Lehigh region
and is based on 1917 days work, this
being the actual number of days the
mines were in operation in 1899. The
remaining 25 per cent. not accounted
for is made up of miners who work by
contract, mine superintendent, clerks,
foremen, ETC., whose earnings are
somewhat higher than those of the
other II nor cant.

JUDGING from Mr.. Bryan's career
and character, he will sincerely con-
tinue in Office the fight against trusts
he has so long maintained. If the ma
jorities in the Congress are opposed to
him, he will doubtless enforce the
Sherman antitrust law, which, by
want of enforcement under the present
administration, has been hollow
mockery. He will deal with violators
of exiting trust laws as he would deal
with obscurer criminals, and those
now arrogant oppressors will labor in
the fear of certain punishment.

A PARTY that puts out its campai

A PARTY that puts out its campaig
literature in dozen different Ian
guages, is Anti-American, to say the
least. Why prescribe English for the
schools, if we educate the voters in
imported syllable jaw-breakers. The
only other firm that has adopted this
expedient of advertising is DR.. Aver, to
promote the sale of his famous pills,
in his testimonial almanac, and it is
said that the expense has never justi-
! fed the outlay.

The local Republican paper had q
glowing account OF a meeting at
Woodland which Mr.. A. J. Falknor
addressed. The report as published
struck terror to the hearts of the
Democrats, for it looked as if Wood
land had gone over bodily to the
enemy. A different version of the
matter is given by lady who was
present. She says that there was not
breath of applause until Mr.. Falknor
had finished when some one proposed
three cheers for Bryan. The cheers
were not only given Justify. but re-
peated, again and again. We trust
that Mr.. Falknor will not be suspected
OF writing the report himself.

If Oily can read between the lines,
he will discern that the editor of Anti
is evidently consistent; that is, if he
has brain enough to grasp and ana
lyze the difference between party
fealty and the support of specific acts
which he, individually, does not be-
lieve to conform principle. What
right has Oily to object, anyway? II
he will attend to his own affairs, he
will have his hands full.

The Republicans are complaint ng
because some cowardly rutfians as
saulted Roosevelt in Colorado and
Indiana, but they did not think it so
grave crime for the college students
to mob Mr.. Bryan, in one of the
Eastern States in 1896. What differ
ence there is in whose OK is gored.
But the fact is that such acts of
rowdyism should be frowned down
under all circumstances, at all times
and without any regard to the party
ism of the speaker. Freedom ofspeech
is guaranteed by the Constitution and
by the eternal. it should, and will be

Oily says that Hanna induced the
coal barons to concede to labor its
demand. That may be true, but it
was only as shrewd political move to
retrieve the waning chances of the
Mckinley ticket. Would it not be
the height of absurdity to assume
thas Hanna would ever have done
that service for the working man?
Hanna's efforts have always been
directed towards turning on the
screws, instead of loosening the ten
tion.

These figures show that if the labor
ers were dependent alone upon mining
for their livelihood, that the wages
paid extended over 312 days in the
year-instead of 1914-would afford
"inside" laborers-those who labor in
the bowels of the earth-the munifi-
cent sum of from 81 to Sc cents per
day; and from 37a to 81 cents for
"outside" men-those who labor by
Gods sunlight-including carpenters
and blacksmiths; from 16 cents for
boys to 2S cents for old men engaged
in slate picking, to fill that dinner
pail which the McKinleyites have
boasted so loudly they have been keep
ing full. The increase of the cost of
living over the mathematical Cleve-
land administration, is so much in
creased, that it is absurd to contend
that the wsge-rate then was still less
than these pauper figures.
The proposed increase OF ten per
cent. made by the coal barons. for set
tling the strike temporarily, at the
suggestion OF Boss Hanna, to serve q
political purpose, it will be seen,
would afford but small relief, the
basis for the ratio in itself being so
small.
The strike will result in forcing
the price of coal up and make still
more difficult the efforts of the poor
to feed the body and keep it warm
during the rigors of an Eastern winter.

WITH reference to the manufacture
of those articles for which raw ma
terials may be found in the Philippine
islands, and they will be by no means
few, can any sensible man doubt but
that American capital will be quick to
establish factories in the islands and
so get the benefit OF the cheaper labor
to be had there. This will mean that
in very short time American labor
engaged in the manufacture of these
article will be compelled to seek work
in other departments of the labor
markets. 1t will result in a lower
wage for them, as they will be forced
to seek work in lines with which they
are less familiar, and in which they
have less skill. More than that the
pressure of their presence in these
new fields will reduce the wage OF
their brethren already there. Can
the American laborer, and those Of us
who realize that his prosperity is nec-
essary to the general welfare, vote for
the Mckinley policy that makes these
things sure to occur?

Chauncey vs.. Depew.

The chamelion-like nature of Repub-
licans, is not alone shown by their
summersalt on the great financial is
sue, which engaged the first place in
the attention of parties up to 1896, but
on many other question of paramount
Importance likewise. Here is what
Chauncey said in 1898, in an interview
published by the Chicago Times-He
aid (McKinley's organ), May %, 1898:
" If we should keep the Philippine is
lands" said MIR. Depew, eve would re-
verse the traditions of this government,
from its foundation. We would open up
a new line of policy. Let us see what
that would mean. In the first place it
would mean the establishment of a mill
tary government over possibly 10000, 600
of people 5000 miles away from us; it
would mean the increase of our navy to
the proportions of the navies of Europe.
What else does worldwide
policy mean 10 usg 1t means a centrali-
zation which would change materially
the relations of the United States to the
CcucIdi SONCIulucHts lHc COitIOt VI
these popular colonies would be centered
at Washington, and we should have a
Capitalization of power far beyond what
the old Federalists ever dreamed of.
You can not have empire without all its
attributes, and that means a practical
revolution of our form of government
and an abandonment of the beliefs
which the fathers held when they estab-
lished this government in 1776."
Here is what Mr.. Depew said in a
speech in Chicago, Oct. 9Th, 1900:
"The terror of imperialism is ghost.
l mean American imperialism. 1t has
been tried for 100 years. 1t was prac-
ticed by Washington; it was tested upon
an enormous snala by JeEerson it was
put in operation by Monroe, jackson,
Polk and Pierce. All gave it their sane.
ton all of them, to the great glory and
power OF our country, pursued the same
path of imperialism which is now being
trod by President Mckinley"
How can the Republican idol or his
followers, reconcile these utterances?
Is it not a complete abandonment Of
the patriotic ideas OF government held
up to the time that the administration
leaders had determined upon foisting
imperial rule upon the ruins of a
once glorious Republic?
