Defines His Position on the Philip
pine Question Says He Will
Fight Policy Of Mckinley.
SEES NO HOPE FOR BRYAN


Senator Iloar asserted recently in
Washington that he would keep up his
iigh, against the Philippine policy OF the
administration, but the idea that he would
turn to Bryan for relief from the existing
situation was preposterous. The senator
said:
81 do not presume as yet tG foresee the
issue of this business. but have thought,
as have more than once said during the
past twelve months, that unless the re-
publican party can be persuaded to desist
from policy of subjugation and to deal
with the Philippine people as we are
pledged to deal with Cuba, the case is
hopeless. The alternative OF electing
Mr.. Bryan is not, i'll my judgment, to he
contemplated for a moment. His elec.
tion iaeans, il he and his party can have
their way, the destruction of our unri
vailed prosperity, lower wages, a scantier
employment for our workmen, the debas-
ing of our standard of value, furnishing
the national faith, the destruction OF
credit, the arraying Of class against class,
bringing into contempt the authority ot
the supreme court, and undermining the
security OF property and values. Now
some of our friends say that il is better
that all these things should happen than
that this policy of Imperialism should he
persisted in. But that is not the ques.
ton. II is not the question whcthei
| Bryan or Imperialism be the worse for
the American people. The question Il
whether anything that Bryan can be
trusted to accomplish in opposition to
imperialism is worth attaining at the
price of all these sacrifices.
| "For one, | can not see anything tt
expect in the way of return to the an
cient principles of the American people
and the ancient principles of the republi
can party, by the election of Mr.. Bryan
We could have stopped the whole thinl
by defeating the treaty of Paris, whici
would have compelled II to be amended
by making the same provision as to til,

make in regard to Cuba. That purpose

Correct You Are, Sir.

Since the cession Puerto Rico has been
denied the principal markets she had
long enjoyed. aud our tariffs have been
continued against her products as when
she was under Spanish sovereignty, The
markets of Spain are closed to her pro-
ducts, except upon terms to which the
commerce of all nations is subjected.
The island of Cuba, which used TO buy
her cattle and tobacco without customs
duties now imposes the same duties upon
these products as from any other cotin-
try entering her ports, She has, there
fore lost her intercourse with Spain and
Cuba, without any compensating bene-
fits in this market. Her coffee was little
known, and not i'll use by our people, aud
therefore, there was no demand here for
this, one of her chief products. The
| markets of the United States should he
opened up to her products. Our plain
duty is to abolish all customs tariffs be
tween the United States and Puerto Rico
and give her products free access to our
markets. - President McKinley's message
to Congress.

the peoples party in the interests of or
ganized democracy; that the chosen lead
ers and officials of our party thought
more OF the success of the democratic
party than they did of our own--than
they did of the welfare and the upbuld-
ing of the reform party. While we have
in the past been loath to take this view
of the matter, recent events have been
such that there is no longer any doubt of
the aims Of these false leaders, and that
If the peoples party is to live il must he
taken in control by the people of the
party, and the disloyal leaders turned of
its councils.
1--WE have hoped that this matter could
he postponed to the meeting of the ma
tional convention, but the occurrences of
the past few hours at this city tLincoln.
Nebraska,) during the meeting of the ma
tional committee of our party have made
it imperative that the people delay no
longer, but act before their party is de-
stroved.
at is with regret that your committee
has to chronicle this record of political
chcanery. We had hoped to see har-
mony prevail here; hut when the Illegal
and arbitrary power, to decide who
should sit in the sessions of the national
committee and who should not, was in
voked to gain temporary advantage, it
became clear that under any conditions
upon which such an illegal committee
would issue call for a convention, the
SAME tactics would be pursued there in
making up temporary roll of the con-
vention, aud the will of any majority, be
it ever SO great, thwarted by few de-
signing politicians.
Recognizing this, and feeling that we
are right, that we represent the senti-
ments and principles of the rank and file
of the peoples party throughout the
United States, the majority of your coui-
mittee refused to temporizd further with
the insignificant minority, which pre-
names to dictate the policies of a great
party.
"We will go into the campaign of 1900
stronger than ever before as a party, and,
rid, thank God, of those false leaders who
have in the past betrayed MS for the flesh
pots of democracy and the crumbs that
fall from the masters tables"

yer of Nebraska, as chairman, and j. A.
