Admits That Philippine Policy Means
Cheap LABOR.
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
AIercur, Nov. I'm an interview af-
ter the speech of last night, Thomas
Kearns made the astounding statement
that the acquisition of the Philippines
meant an enormous influx of cheap
Asiatic Ia Dor, and that such was d part
Of the great Republican policy
The statements we're drawn from him
in this manner: When he spoke he in
vited all who had questions they wished
answered to give them in. Three men
asked questions that made him scratch
his head and then he called the ques-
TONERS down and threatened to have
them expelled from the hail I then
handed him these questions on slip
of paper:
"First-Of what account will Chi
nese exclusion acts be when the Phil
ippines. with their millions of Chinese
and other Mongolians. are citizens Of
the United States2
'Second-When the Fihpinos become
citizens of the United States each ma

the votes of the 10000, GOO half-civiiized
mongrels of the Philippines TO count

pie. exclusive of Texas, west Of the
Mississippi
The first question he refused to an
sver: the second he answered IN a
roundabout way. never tOuilIiS 10 tue
point. and in reality it was no answer
at all.
The meeting over, taxed hiEa as to
why the first query was not answered
He did not reply Then I said: An

Whereupon he practically admitted
that to have answered the question in
public would have been TO lose many
votes fer his party He admitted that
when the F7ilipinos become citizens Of
the United States there would be a
great Asiatic influx Of cheap labor; that
it would take the place of white labor
and have d disastrous effect upon
wages.

ton and coercion in spite of every
thing.

ance of this volunteer service by the
Democratic organizations, the presi-
dent of the National Association of
