 "It is not for the Philippine Islands that we are concerned, for if the Filipino dies the world will go on. But when this na- tion becomes the executioner of those who fought for liberty then liberty here is as much in danger as in the Philippines What advantage did you ever hear claimed for an imperial policy? First, that there Is money in it; second, that God is in It; third, that we are in 1t and can't get out of it.
 Que stion of Profit
 '"rhe man who says there is money in it must be prepared to tell us what human life is worth. But can any man living tell the value of human brain or a human heart full of love for It's fellow man? Measure if you can the influence of a great soul dedicated to the uplifting of his fellow men, and yet the Republican party is de- lending imperialism on the ground that It can be made to pay.
 '"They must be prepared to tell us the value of the 2000 men whose bodies hoated back to us across the ocean. l would not put an American boy on the auction block and sell him for all the trade of the Ori- ent When you hear a Republican speak ing on the value of human life tell him to buy it with his own blood and not with that of other people. Our forefathers pray ed to God for guidance in the struggle to maintain the principle of no taxation without representation. It is the same God we have now as then, the same God yester- day today and forever Is 1t not worse than mockery to pray to the same God for victory over people fighting for the sane principle, no taxation without representa- tion. for which our forefa thers fought and died.
 ''Who saiys we cannot get out? Those who put us in? They do not want us to get out. I denounce this cowardly excuse that would make a chicken thief out of every man who could reach hen roost
 There has not been an hour in twenty years that we could not have taken Canada had we wanted to. Or Mexico, or the South or Central American republics. But we have not wanted to and today we are ill no more position to take the Philippine Islands than we have been in the past to take those nations
 Let this nation declare that 1t Is not going to conquer the Philippines and then say to the other nations, Thou shalt not ."

 At 10 o'clock Colonel Bryan arrived at Cooper Union. His appearance on the plat form was the signal for one of the most enthusiastic greetings ever accorded to one man in Cooper Union.
 MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: This is the fourth meeting that I have spoken at tonight"
 He then discussed imperialism and wound up by saying: We have no money with which to buy votes, no trust magnates to intimidate. We leave the result to you and appeal to the conscience of the people. If every one will speak, the majority in this city and State and nation will be so large as to demonstrate the fact that no money n m

REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL.
Party Men or Independents in All Ten
Districts.

Richmond. Va, Aug. 27-The Re-
publican State Committee was in ses'
sion here TO night for several hours, dis
cussing plans for the coming campaign
in Virginia. Only one membeT-Gen
James A. Walker. Of the Eighth Dis
trict-was absent. Among those In at
tendance we're Chairman Park Agnew,
Of Alexandria Gen. Stith Boiling, OF
Petersburg; Messrs. Banks, Of Norfolk
Asa Rogers, Of Petersburg, and Gee, OF
Prince George.
The meeting was, the leaders said'
prefectly satisfactory. 1t was decided to
make nominations for Congress In eacn
OF the ten districts, or, in the event OF
failure to do so, to recommend the sup'
port of independents. This latter action
ia understood to be intended particular
ly for the Richmond die .ict, where
the party will probably not have
a candidate.
Members of the committee express
the hope to carry three, II not four
Of the Congressional districts. These
ara the Second. Fourth, Ninth, and
Tenth. The reports from the Ninth
were particularly encouraging, 1t is
said
The members of the committee insist
that their prospects for carrying the
Second and Fourth, the two black dis'
tricts, are good. The fact that the
negroes are threatened by the Demo-
Gratis with being disfranchised Will
cause the voters Of that race, 1t was
claimed, to turn out in this election as
they have not done before for years.
1t is expected that the Republican
leaders will this year adopt the old
plan, originated by Malone. for having
counters at the polls to take the names
of the negroes who fail to get their bal
lots In. It is conceded that the COM
mittee will not begin to have the fund
given them by the national committee
in 1896. They will, however, members
of the committee assert. have money
enough ito do business with.
