THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

There is an earnestness and an ardor
in the spirit now prompting all political
organizations and individuals opposed
to Imperialism to cooperate heartily
with the national Democracy for the
defeat of the iInperlalist party in No
yember which faithfully indicates the
determination of the American people
to save the Republic from destruction at
the hands of the plottcrs for Empire.
/ That the gravity of ;he paramount
Issue in the present campaign is clearly
recognized by the American public there
Is now no reason to doubt. 1t will
not avail the Mckinley imperialists
TO insolently wave Old Glory as
sea-robbers' flag and to urge the
conquest and subiugation of weaker
peoples as a righteous crusade for
the extension: of American power.
The American people know we'll that
the Flag of Freedom may not justly
float above looted colonies and subject
races. They know well that there can
be no crusade of foreign wars for the
extension of American power without
first sugrendering the creed of the Re
public for the creed of Empire. They
know well that our denial of liberty
to others is the signal and the justifica-
ton for our imperial rulers denial OF
liberty to US in the future.
Every consistent and loyal American

STAND TRUE TO LIBERTY

Ii the delegates 10 the Liberty Con
vention" 10 be held in indianapolis on
August 10 seek to most surely hold this
Government to the principles upon
which it was established, they Will
indorSe the Democratic national plat
form and ticket and exert their best cf-
fort for the success Of Democracy at
the polls.
The one great and paramount issue
upon which the Democratic party goes
before the people this year is strongly
stated in the aatiinperialism plank Of
the Democratic platform. The Republic
is in danger. The greed of Empire has
possessed the souls of President Nc
kinley and his followers. As surely and
as swiftly as is possible TO an imperial
administration, the American Govern
ment is being committed 10 Empire.
There is no denying this truth. We
are even now governing the Filipinos as
a subject people without their conse. ;. 4
people TO whom American citizenship is
not possible, and who themselves de-
mand national independence. We are
subjecting the Porto Ricans TO the very
wrong of taxation without representa-
ton which caused our owH Revolution
against England. We are denying to the
Cubans the freedom TO which we solemn
ly pledged the national honor in our
declaration of war against Spain. Our
armies of occupation are In these lands
TO enforce an alien authority against
which the people of the land protest.
This is Empire, pure and unadalter-
ated. The Liberty Convention TO be
held in indianapolis will belle It's name
If it fails to unite with Democracy in
protecting the Republic from the piotters
for Empire. The call for this action is
the most sacred that an American can
hear. The Republic is in danger.

SUPPORT Mr.. BRYAN.

Senator Mallory Of Florida is correct
In his assertion that a man who calls
himself Democrat and who will not
support Mr.. Bryan on the Democratic
national platform Of 1900 would not sup
port him under any circumstances.
The Democratic platform of 1900 Is
one Of the most consistent Democratic
utterances ever put before the American
people. Its declaration of principles de-
mands the loyal support Of every Demo
crat. In the American crisis now cx-
listing, the UNFOLDING of these principles
is vitality necessary to the preservation
Of the Republic.
Mr.. Bryan stands fairly and squarely
on that platform. 1t was framed largely
under his direction. He has distinctly
expressed his approval OF the plank de-
claring anti-imperialism to be the para
mount issue of the present campaign.
The platform urges united American
support Of this issue for the expressed
reason that it involves the very exist
ence Of the Republic and the destruction
Of our free institutions"
Democrats who shall fail to vote for
Mr.. Bryan on the Democratic platform
OF 1900 will not BIO able TO Justify them
selves at the bar of conscience. They
win allow a lingering prejudice TO make
them recreant TO principle. They Will
place personal question above the good
Of their country. The issue of this cam
paign is too solemn in its bearing upon
the future of the RepubilG to be treated
from such a viewpoint. The nalign
shadow Of Empire darkens the sky above
this great free Government.

KNOW WHAT ENrpIRE MEANS.

1t would be remarkable indeed if the
German American element OF our citizen
ship failed to place itself in opposition TO
that imperial spirit OF the Mckinley al
ministration which now threatens the
honor, safety and very existence of the
Republic.
Men of German birth or descent do
not need to have the evils of imperial
ism and militarism pointed out to them.
They know what it means to live in 4
land where the best years Of every
mans life must be given up to mill
tary service. They know what It is to
struggle for livelihood in land where
every farmer and every workingman
carries a soldier OF Empire upon his
back, for whose maintenance as q fight
Eng machine" the far more worthy
working machine is taxed 10 the bone.
The dream OF Empire and armed con-
quest has no charms for German-Amer-
lean voters.
These men must have surely made up
their minds TO vote against Empire in
November 1t is not reasonable to be-
lteve that they will vote to subject their
sons 10 military CONSUMPTION and to end
less and ever-increasing taxation for
Empire. Such of them as belong to the
Republican party must certainly recog-
nize the fact that the issue Of imperial
ism is an issue that rises above party.
How can any German-American consist
emily vote to establish In this country
the very evils from which he fed when
he exiled himself from his Fatherland:

SAVE THE REPURIlC.

There has never been a time in Amer
lean political history when Il paramount
Issue in the baule between two great
parties WAS more clearly drawn and
more intelligently understood than =
the great and vital issue OF Imperialism
in the campaign now under WAY.
The issue is one which no American
voter prctundS 10 ignore or 10 cVaGC.
Either his AmericaniSm leads linn 10
ailSn himself against the party OF En-
plre, in order that The Republic may be
saved from destruction. or his ccmmer-
ciai appetiIes or political ambitions over
Gene his Amcricanism and render him
willing 10 sacrifice American principles
and endanyer American institutions
This is the situation.
The Republican party makes its appeal
this year TO the iCnUble emotions of man
KIND. 1t urges the holding of the Phil
lppineS rs colony. because there is
money in holding the PhilippineS-the
famous speech Of Senator Beyeridge
sounding this keynote. 1t urges the de-
NAL OF constitutional rights L. the Porto
Hicans because there is money in levy
Ing tribute on the Porto Ricans. 1t seeks
10 encompass the annexation Of Cuba
because there is money in anncxin@
Cuba. Republican policies in 1900 are
based on the most sord.i principles pos
sihie to commercialized politics.
The Democratic party makes its ap-
peal this year 10 the American spirit
which animated the founders of the
American Government. 1t denies. rs they
did. the imperial doctrine that might
makes right. II holds with them that
al men are born free and equal and
that constitutional governments must
derive their just powers from the CON
sent OF the governed. 1t opposes En-
pire because Empire means the destruc-
ton of the Republic and Of free govern
ment. 1t condemns the subjugarion OF
the Filipinos and the tariff taxation of
the Porto Ricans. because such a policy
IS the policy Of Empire. 1t protests
against the establishment of n colonial
system because it is forbidden to a Re
public 10 possess colonies. Ii claims that
We canuot deny liberty to other peoples
without laying the foundation for the
denial to US OF that same liberty which
we solemniy declare to be the right OF
al peoples.
The life OF the Republic depends upon
the choice made by American voters
when they go to the polls next Novem-
Der. If they then and there cast their
ballots for the unparalleled Republican
ticket, they sign the death warrant of
the Republic. If they vote for Demcc-
racy based on the Declaration Of hide
pendence they give 10 the Republic a
new and glorious lease OF life. Ii is
imperative upon every American to
weigh this mighty issue in the scales
Of his conscience and TO cast a patriots
vote thereafter. The Republic is in dam
ger.

CHINA'S NEW SPIRIT.

There is something. ominous In the
tribute to Chinese militant prowess con-
tanned in the simple news story of the
desperate fighting at Tien-Tsin between
the native army and the allied troops OF
the United States, Great Britain, Japan,
Russia, France and Germany.
In this story we are told that the Chi
nese guns We're ''splendidly served and
accurately aimed" They were SO well
served and SO accurately aimed, indeed,
as to put two opposing cannon out Of
action-one being a tweIve-pounder from
d. NJ. S. Terrible and the other gun
from one of the French cruisers. They
Eere also effective enough to drive back
