A career of imperialism ends in
ruin. How much more not only of
humanity and justice and nobleness,
but also of that wisdom which is the
sum of life do we find in these mag

ing and bombast of imperialistic era

OBITUARY.
Thomas A. wilson.

Thomas A. Wilson was born in Owen
county, Indiana. November 81, 1890;
died at the residence Of his son, w. T.
Wilson, on Kirkwood avenue, Ottumwa,
February 20, 1900. He was the son OF
William and Rachael Wilson. He came
ITO Wapello county in 1854 and was
married to Lucy J. Farmer, daughter
of Prior s. and Elizabeth Farmer,
January 10, 1854, and resided in Wa
pello county for two years and en-
gagged In farming and freightipg with
OK teams, hauling goods from Keokuk.
In 1856 he removed to Lucas county
and settled on farm, just west of the
present town Of Russell. In 1861 he re-
surned to Wapello county, and in 1864
he crossed the plains overland and en-
gagged in gold mining in Montana, Ida
no and Utah, returning to Wapello
county in 1867, where he remained en-
gagged in farming until 1891, when he
retired. He removed from The old
homestead, where he had spent SO
many busy years OF his life. and, with

his aged companion came to spend the
remaining years of their lives in rest
at the home Of their son, December 10,
1898.
Politically he had been a lifelong
democrat, firm in his advocacy of those
principles which he believed to be
right, but ever charitable to those who
differed from him in opinions. He had
never been connected with any society,
either sacred or fraternal. The unfor-
tunate and distressed were always OBJ
jects OF his charity, and in administer
ing to their wants and needs he often
went beyond the limit that his means
would justify. He was a loving hus-
band, a kind father, good neighbor
and warm friend. His kindness of
heart his sterling integrity and rugged
honesty secured and retained for him
the friendship and confidence of all
I who knew him.
HE added to the sum OF human JOY
and were everyone for whom he did
some loving service to bring blossom
to his grave, he would sleep tonight be-
meath wilderness of flowers"

MlLITARlSM A MENACE
TO THE NATION,

The declaration in the Republican
platform adopted at Philadelphia,
held in June, 1900, that the Republi-
can party "steadfastly adheres to the
policy announced In the Monroe doc
trinc" Is manifestly insincere and de-
ceptive. This profession Is contradict
ed by the avowed policy of the party
in opposition to the spirit of the Mon
roc doctrine to acquire and ho,d sorer-
eighty over large areas of territory
and large numbers of people I'm the
eastern hemisphere. We insist on the
strict maintenance of the Monroe doc
trinc and in all It's integrity, both in
letter and In spirit, as necessary to
prevent the extension of European au-
lhority on this continent, and as es-
sential to our supremacy In American
affairs At the same time we declare
that no American people shall ever he

OlNGLEY TARIFF LAW
BREEDS TRUSTS,

Corporations should be protected in
all their rights, and their legitimate
interests should be respected, but any
attempt by corporations to interfere
with the public affairs of the people or
to control the sovereignty which Gre
ates them, should he forbidden under
such penalties as will make such at
tempts Impossible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as trust breeding measure, skillfully
devised to give the few favors which
they do not desire to place upon the
many burdens which they should not
bear. q
We favor such enlargement of the
scope of the interstate commerce law
as will enable the commission to pro-
tect individuals and communities from
determinations aud the public from
unjust and unfair transportation rates
We reatiirm and indorse the princi.
pies of the national Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago in 1896, and
we reiterate the demand of that plat.
for for an American financial system
made by the American people for
themselves, which shall restore and
maintain bimetallic price level, and
as part Of such system the Immediate
restoration of the free aud unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the pres
cnt legal ratio of 10 to without wait
Ing for the aid or consent of any other

We dcnounce the currency bill en-
acted at the last session of Congress as
a step forward In the Republican pol
| ley which aims to dscredlt the right OF
the national government to Issue nj
money, whether coin or paper, and tc
bestow upon national banks the power
to issue paper money for their owr

and small capital OF their opportunity
for betterment.
They are the most efficient means yet
devised for appropriating the fruits of
industry TO the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many, and unless
their insatiate greed is checked all
wealth will be aggregated in a few
hands and the republic destroyed.
The dishonest paltering with the
trust evil by the Republican party In
state and national platforms Is con-
elusive proof of the truth of the charge
that trusts are the legitimate product
of Republican policies; that they are
fostcred by Republican laws, and
that they are protected by the Re
publican administration in return for
campaign subscriptions and political
support.
/ We pledge the Democratic party
to an unceasinS warfare in nation,
! state and city against private monop-
oily In every form. Existing laws
against trusts must be enforced and
more stringent ones must be enacted,
providing for publicity as TO the affairs
of corporations engaged in Interstate
commerce and requiring all corpora
ations to show, before doing business
outside of the state of their origin, that
they have no water in their stock, and
that they have not attempted, and are
not attempting to monopolize any
| branch of business or production OF
any article of merchandise, and the
whole constitutional power Of Con
gress over interstate commerce, the
mails and all modes of interstate com
municntion shall be exercised by the
enactment of comprehensive laws upon
the subject of trusts. Tariff laws
should be amended by putting the
products of trusts upon the free list to
prevent monopoly under plea of pro
| lection.
The failure of the present Republi
can administration, with an absolute
control over all the branches of the
national government, to enact any leg
lslatlon designed TO prevent or ever
curtail the absorbing power of trusts
and illegal combinations, or to enforce
the antitrust laws already on the stat
ute books, prove the insincerity of the
high sounding phrases of the Republi
can platform.

tlon or TO convert the republic into an
alton of the nations purpose to give to
the Filipinos first, a stable form of
government; second, independence, aud
third, protection from outside iuterfer-
ence such as has been given for nearly
n century to tile republics of Central
aud South America.
The greedy commercialism which
dictated the Philippine policy of the
Republican Administration attempts
to Justify 1t with the plea that it will
pay, but even this sordid and unworthy
plea fails when brought to the test of
facts. The war of criminal aggression
against the Fllipinos, cntailng an
annual expense of many millions, has
already cost more than any possible
profit that could accrue from the en-
Tire Philippine trade for years TO come.
Furthermore. when trade Is extended
at the expense of liberty the price is
always too high
We are not opposed to territorial cN.
pausion when IT, takes in desirable Ter
ritory which can be erected into states
| in the Union, aud whose people are
willing and fit to become American
citizens.
We favor expansion by every peace
1 full and legitimate means But we are
unalterably opposed TO seizins or pur-
chasing of distant Islands to he gov
crned outside the constitution, anu
whose people can never become cltl-
zens. We ure in favor of extending
the republics influence among the
nations but believe that influence
should be extended not by force aud
violence, but through the pursuasivc
power. of a high and honorable ex
Iampe.
The importance of other questions
now pending before the American peo
pie is in no wise diminished and the
Democratic party takes no backward
step from its position on them, but
the burning issue Of Imperialism grow
ing ont of the Spanish war involves
the very existence of the republic
and the destruction of our free insti
iutlons. We regard 1t as the para
mount issue of the campaign.
