Willmar tribune., 1900-10-03

s The Philippine commission has sent
in lengthy report that bears all the
earmarks of . Repnb blican campaign
document. II asserts that !. .Bryan'e
defeat viii end the rebellion, !" that ..all
e pacified except . few, small, scat.
tered robber. band etc., all after the
manner Of the late General Otis, with
whose style the American public has
long ago acquired that familiarity
which breeds con ntempt. And By the
same cable comes the report Of pitched
battle between American soldiers and q
force OF 1000 we'll armed Filipinos, IN
which 40 American soldiers were killed
or wounded. What's the matter with
Mckinley . censorl
OF all Of England's troubles there il
not one that hurts and worries her halt
as much as the present wonderful
prosperity and commercial expansion
Of Germany. In the rapid proexess OF
Germany and Russia England sees the
handwriting on the wall that foretella
her doom. Germany's prosperity has
been mainly in evidence during the
last four years. Why don't Mckinley
claim the credit for that, too? =
No wonder Mark Hanna got worked
up over Bryan's antitrust speech.
That speech hit Mark right where he
lives and he simply couldn't help but
sQueal. 4sz5 =.
Isn't it amusing to see Republican
editors, writing on trust.made and
trust-priced paper. assert that ther. are
no trusts?
A l0.year.old daughter of Coal Miner
Tom McNein Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company a,
Shamokin, Pa, said: eyes, sir, ]
know father is going to win. Why
Well, because he must win; because
were SO poor and they're trying tt
make us poorer. SOS we shouldn't be
able to live at all: We will win be.
cause we all know that God is good. u
In logic Hanna is a daisy. In his
trust speech at Chicago he asserted that
there are no trusts, and in the same
breath accused Senator Jones Of beins
a member of the cotton bale trust.
While Bryan was discussing the
colonial policy of the government some
one asked him about North Caroline
and the race question in that state. 81
am glad you mentioned North Caro-
lina," said Mr.. Bryan. SNOW wan,
you to read the Sulu treaty and having
done that, I think you will blush until
election day. ,s..>,-.
The attempt Of the Republican party
to make capital out Of the North Caro-.
lima election law isa very thin game
That law applies to. white and colored
voters alike and is isessentially the same
as the. one which the administration
has itself introduced in Cuba. -
Il would like Mr.. Bryan or. any
other Democrat to tell me what a trust
is. believe there is not a trust in the
United States. There is a national
law and in every state there is law
against trusts. They cannot exist, and
every law against trusts, national or
state, has been the product of Republic
an lawmakers and the credit is due to
the Republican party" said Mark
Hanna in his speech at Chicago. Does
Mark take the people of these United
States to be idiots OF gullible. infants to
treat them to such .buncombe? II Mark
really wants to know what a trust is,
perhaps some Of the half. starved, strik,
ing miners in Pennsylvania might tell
him.
The following is an extract from q
letter received at this Office: II saw
P the other day. I was on the
Great Northern train and he got on al
Graceville. where he had just heard
Teddy try to make speech to those
awful people at Graceville. say try,
for that is all that he did there, they
actually gave him the laugh, and broke
him up to such an extent that the
speech was dismal failure, a regular
fiasoo. 1 would like to hear him ex
press himself in private about what be
thought Of Graoeville." .
II, as reported, Congressman Eddy
(Rep.) pins his faith to the support Of
Canadian and Englsh.born voters, he
may get very much left. At leas,
French. Canadians as rule are not a.
much in love with their English mas
ters and McKinley's 8 toadying to Brit
ish interests is for from meeting with
the approval Of French Canadians in
this country. In Minneapolis French
American Democratic club has been or
ganized with $50 members. te1
'Raw material, if bought in large
quantities, is secured at lower cost" i.
one Of the arguments urged in favor o1
trusts. The point is certainly goo6
one. VIXEN, for instance, one man
buys all the wool, the price of WOO
will be lowered and all who produce
wool will be forced to sell at the price
fixed by the trust, and the same will bt
true of every other kind of raw mate
rial. As q large proportion Of our peo
pie are engaged in producing raw ma
terial, they are naturally very much
interested in trusts.
The following is an extract from q
letter received by Secretary Garfield
Roosevelt is doing vast amount o,
good for the Democrats by his rantine
in South and North Dakota You re-
member what this rough rider said fou1
years ago: Even il he (Bryan) il
elected we may not turn the reins Q.
government over: to him. Remembe,
he was secretary Of the navy. M
anarchist ever spoke with more defiance
to his country than that
