made ready to comply with his recon-
mendatioh. But in a night, almost in
the twinkling OF an eye, the migh'y
magnates OF the trust swept down upon
Washington and interposed their strong
arm, and plain duty vanished like mist
before the rising sun. The President
wheeled into line, the Republican party
reversed its policy and set up tariff

and the remainder of the United States,
1t is not at all surprising that the recent
somewhat lengthy declaration OF princi

party in its dealings with that unhappy

for equal taxation, equal rights and
opportunities TO all who come under the
folds OF the flag.

legislation or by the cheaper method Of
platform declaration to tell the country
what their policy is in respect to the

Of the campaign this year IS the scandal.
Gus dealings of a high Cabinet officer

These scandals are notorious, and are
based upon the earnest aud repeated
written demands ol the officers OF some
OF these banks that they should be
favored by this Administration because
OF money contributed by them with
which to buy the Presidency OF 1896.
Correspondence submitted to Congress
shows that, in one case atleast, an appeal
from an institution in New York city to
the Secretary Of the Treasury for inan
cial assistance because, as was claimed,
the officers Of that bank had contributed
literally to the election OF the present
chief executive, was not made IN vain,
and the asked for assistance in this case

sion to discuss in detail the increased
appropriation made necessary by the
Republican party of Imperialism.
BTieAg however, I will mention that
the average OF appropriations per year
for all purposes Of government for the
two years Immediately preceding the
Spanish-American war was about f47s,.
100000, The average expenditures per
annum for each Of the three years since
that war, including the fiscal year upon
which we have just entered, shows
an increase of nearly $50. .oco, 900.
The total increase for the three years
will be nearly 5000 600, 600 And in like
proportion il will go on.
This shows the difference in cost OF
the empire as against the republic
These figures refer alone to the money
cost OF the cl auge. and do not include
the expense OF the blood Of the Amerl-
can boys, the price OF which is far
beyond computation. In the Republican
Congress, just closed, not one d pllar

Thirteenth. So also the scandals in

with the expenditure OF the funds OF the

Fourteenth. They loudly proclaim
that theirs IS the party Of liberty, and in
their vainglOry boast Of their very name
republican, yet thev are caught coquet
ing and forming secret entangl ng
alliances ofthe most detestable character
with the old mother monarchy. They
stand supinely by and refuse even an
expression Of sympathy with the Boer
republics IN their heroic and unequal
struggle Tor existence as against the
gross expressions and brutal efforts at
enslavement OF the same old tyTant who
went down in defeat when she sought to
prevent the establishment Of our own
liberty loving republic. They thus
permit brave people in love with their
free republican Institutions to perish
from the earth, lest by one word Of
sympathy and comfort they might offend
the delicate sensibilitiss OF their new
found ally, Great Britain.
Fitee nth. An important CHAPTER is
the oitrspeated promise. made to be
broken, that when the war ceased the
oppressive, burdensome and v, xatious
war taxes on many 5rticles Of prime
necessity should be repealed or rsduc d.
Though the war closed two years ago.
and.notwithstanding there IS a large and
growing surplus in the Treasury, not
one dollar OF reduction in these taxes has
been made. II is krown that delegation
after delegation of citizens. suffering
from these burdens, crowded the
committee rooms at Washington and
literally begged tor some relief II is
true that those Of us who constitute the
minority Of Congress Joined in that
appeal an declared our readiness to
support any and oil measures that might
in some degree remove these burdens
of taxation. But q deaf ear was turned
by the Republicans to all such efforts
for relief, and none came. II is we'll
known also that no relief will be given
by the party in power. and it is vain for
overburdened people 10 look to them
while present policies are attempted to
be enforced, The onl5 hope for relief
lies in hurting from power the Republi.

party which believes in simple and

Is tt Worth the Cost.

AT the very forefront OF this
question it is well to remember
that we have in the Philippine ISL
ands today, wearing the blue uni
form of the republic, 5000 men.
1t is we'll to remember that it has
been estimated again and again
and it is a conservative estimate
that, taking the rank and file and
officers all together Of the army OF
the United States. that army
costs $1,000 per annum per
man. A thousand thousand is a
million, and sixty. FIVE thousand
thousand dollars is S6s, 5000, 900.

600 Tor the purpose OF benevolent
assimilation" or for purposes oi
conquest and greed.
But whatever may be the pur-
pose, that is what it is costing the
people OF this country. What are
we getting as possibility-not as
an actualityP W. might be getting
as a possibility the entire trade OF
the entire Philippine Islands in
imports and exports. That is the
utmost possibility. OF course,
however, that is practically i'm
probable.
But il we take it for granted that
we could get the entire trade OF
the entire archipelago, including
all the imports and all the exports,
that neither Spain, Great Britain,
France, China nor Korea would
trade a dollar with them, then upon
the present basis we would get
$50, 900 900 a year, for that is the
sum total of all their exports and
imports with all the world, as re-
ported by the Bureau Of Statistics
OF the United States Treasury De
partment; and il out OF the exports
on the one side and the imports on
the other we should get IS per
cent. clear profit, the American
people would make one.fourth OF
those $50 900, ,ooo--some seven or
eight million dollars. And who
would make that7 Not the plain

choose, and there is where we will

This, too, is not a fair calcula-
ton because an American soldier
in the Philippines, upon a conser-
vative estimate made by gentlemen
who think they know what they
are talking about, costs 40 per
cent. more than an American sol
der in the United States. This is
because OF increased cost Of sub
S sistence and immense cost oftrans-
portation for men and -unitions.
Therefore our army out there is
costing US, instead Oi $4,000, 900
a year $4,000, 900 a year-three
times the amount OF the entire i'm
port and export trade Of the entire
archipelago with all the world, and
over ten times all possible profits
that could possibly be made out
of them

The Second Place.

The nomination of Mr.. Steven
son was pleasing to every Demo-
crat in the country, and to the
great majority it will be a matter
OF enthusiastic delight. When in
the Post Office Department he was
the Democratic leaven OF Mr..
Cleveland's Mugwump Admins
tration. He was afteTward elected
Vice President, and his service in
that high office made him one oil
the eminent public men OF the
country, He was frequently al
luded to in the con yention as a
man who knew the difference be-
tween a Democrat and a Republi-
can.
Mr.. Stevenson is in thorough
line with Democratic principles,
original and present. He is sound
in the faith. He is all right on
anti-impeTialism, antitrust, anti
militarism and on finance. He is
with the people on all questions;
and the men who are outside the
Democratic organization, but who
now propose to act with the party,
could not find better man to vote
for.
With Bryan and Stevenson as
the ticket, and a platform which
admirably presents and properly
arranges the great questions Of the
day, he opposition to the reelec-
tion Of Mr.. Mckinley and the con-
tinuation Of Mark Hannaism in
power may take great encourage
ment.

A Democratic Year.

In every election for President
in which the same candidates con-
fronted each other twice in sue
cession the nominee who was
beaten in the first instance won in
the second. Jefferson, who was
defeated by John Adams in 1896,
defeated Adams IN 1900. Jackson,
who was LETT behind by John
Quincy Adams in the contest
which went to the House OF Rep
resentatives in 1894, was far ahead
OF Adams in the Electoral College
in 1913. William Henry Harrison,
who was easily beaten bv Van
Buren, in 1896, just as easily de-
feated Van Buren, in I84o. CleYe-
land, who was 6S in the minority
IN the Electoral College of 1888 in
the contest against Benjamin Har-
rison, had a majority oI more than
double that figure, or 1872, over
Harrison in 1899. New York and
Indiana have been swinging alter
natelY from one party to the other
in successive canVasses Tor more
than a quarter Of a century, and
both were carried by the Repub
licans in 1896. Four years OF
power for each party has been the
rule tor several successive Presi-
dental terms, and il is the Demo-
cratic turn" to win in 1900.
