to engraft upon the national legisla-
tion of the country.
When in the Fifty Congress,
nine years ago, he was an ardent
champion of free trade, in speech,
long and brilliant, he declared that
"a protective tariff was conceived in
greed and fashioned in iniquity, false
in economy and the most vicious pol
itical principle that ever cursed this
country" Yet protective tariff bill
was passed by the first Congress and
approved by Washington. Bryan
further declared that he would fight
the protective system as long as there
was anything to remedy. The strug-
gle between protection and free trade
went against him. The people repu-
dated free trade and Bryan dropped
it. 1t was not wise to paramount"
free trade when it would not make
votes.
Four years ago, realizing that he
must paramount" something else, he
took up silver and worked it with all
the force of his eloquence. That in
turn was repudiated by the people
and dropped by Bryan. All his wild
prophesies have been proven to be
false by the prosperous facts of recent
experience.
This year, he concluded to let free
trade alone, touch lightly on free sill
yer and paramount imperialism,
and he is working it in the same
prophet promising, reckless fashion.
In opposing protection he denounced
Washington, in advocating free silver
he ran counter to all financial expert
ence, in opposing expansion he reflects
on jefferson. After few more cam
paigns he may possibly get into line
and strike something that is right,
but at present there is big dent in
the public confidence as to the accur-
acy of his prophetic powers and as to
| his leaderlike ability.

Evasion.

The long and labored address of
Mr.. Bryan at Indianapolis is not COM
plimentary to his sincerity. He talk
ed solely on imperialism, while the
country knows his heart is set on free
silver.
Free silver is a clear-cut issue and
Mr.. Bryan is its prophet. 1t is in the
platform at his own dictation. I'm
perialism is not an issue and it has no
prophet. 1t cannot be made an issue
because nobody in this country is for
imperialism.
Imperialism, if it means anything,
refers to the possession of the Philip
pines. But the Philippines were OBJ
tanned from Spain by treaty. Mr..
Bryan went to Washington and labor
ed to have the Senate ratify that
treaty. Therefore he was himself an
imperialist, The Philippines then be-
came as absolutely the possession of
the United States as did Louisiana or
any other territory ever acquired by
the government at Washington.
The Tagal tribe under the lead of
Aguinaldo rebelled against the au-
thority of the United States. 1t is
as much the duty of this government
to suppress that rebellion as it would
be to suppress a rebellion against the
national authority III Porto Rico, in
Hawaii, in Alaska, in Arizona, in
Mississippi, or in any other territory
or state in the Union. To fail to sup
press such an insurrection would
stamp the government of the United
States as impotent, recreant, unwor-
thy the support or confidence of its
own citizens or the respect of the
, world.
Mr. Bryan must know that the pol
icy he proposes would be impossible
and preposterous, therefore it is diff
cult to believe that he is sincere in
his so-called imperialistic talk. And
as if further to show the absurd and
illogical nature of his contention he
would make the incompetent Filipi-
nos free and independent, but guar
antee to protect them against foreign
invasion! Who does not believe that
it would take a larger standing army
to protect the Filipinos from their
own native mobs and freebooters and
from foreign interference than it
would to govern them as an Ameri-
can possession
The truth is, as Senator Hoar says,
that the Cry of so-called imperialism
is but a mask to cover the thing he
has most at heart, the purpose to es-
tablish free trade and the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to 1. But the people un-
derstand the issues and the candi-
dates, and they will make no mistake.

one of my own men, because | know
from observations, confirmed by
captured prisoners, that the conti-
nuance OF fighting is chiefly due to
reports sent out from America"
The Filipino proclamation, sent
home short while ago by Major
Butts, was issued under Aguinaldo's
direction, and called upon the insur-
gents to keep on fighting until No
vember, when they were assured that
Bryan, their noble friend, would be
elected, and their happy days begin.
The proof from the Philippines places
the responsibility for the prolonga-
tion of the insurrection upon Ameri-
can sympathizers, chief among
whom, since his indianapolis speech,
is Bryan.
Patriotism is as much an attribute
Of citizenship as a civic virtue, and
Senator Stewards exposition of
Bryan as one who is engaged in fur
nishing laid and comfort to the
enemy" should cement the opposition
and awaken such a patriotic senti-
ment that Bryan's election will be-
come a thing not to be dreamed Of.
The American people have never ap-
proved disloyalty, and it is too late
to ask them to begin now.

Stewart for NIcKinley.

The return of Senator Stewart to
his place in the Republican ranks is
significant of the process of disillusion
that is taking place on the silver ques-
ton. OF silver champions none save
Bryan was more enthusiastic than
was Senator Stewart, and, while he
does not abandon his devotion to the
white metal, he discrimlnates between
it and the paramount Bryanism, just
as will all intelligent and right think
ing people, Senator Stewards ar
raignment of Bryan for his position
on the question of Imperialism is
severe, but it is correct. He says af-
ter analyzing the alleged issue and
Bryan's championship of it:
He Bryan is now the ull-fedged
candidate for Aguinaldo and of Aguin-
aldo's friends and supporters. at home
and abroad. Will the people who
mourn the deaths of their relatives
murdered in the Philippines by Ag-
uinaldo's guerillas support his candi-
date, in this country? Will a country
which has sacrificed thousands of
lives and hundreds of millions of dol
lars to maintain the authority of the
United States elevate to the office of
president the candidate of league
which is eXerting all its energies to
tear down the flag?
The promise of Mr.. Bryan if elect
ed president, to exert all the power of
that great office to secure the indie
pendence of the Tagals, and rob the
United States of all we possess in the
Orient, was not enough, Mr.. Bryan
promised them more than the Tagals
themselves had the audacity to ask
The nti-Imperial League cannot ex-
cuse its crimes against the United
States by :contending that the Unit
ed States is wrong and that the reb-
States who assist the enemy when
war exists are guilty of treason, and
cannot plead in their defense or in
the extenuation of their crimes what
they imagine to be the wrongs of the
government in waging war. The
crime of treason is complete when
aid or comfort is extended to the
enemy. There can be no doubt that
the Anti-Imperial League is unpatri-
otic, anti-American and engaged in
criminal conspiracy against the Uni
ted States. When Mr.. Bryan affiil-
lated with that league, and secured
its support, he betrayed the Ameri-
can followers and became the candi-
date of the enemies of the United
States, both at home and abroad.
To his inordinate ambition and un-
paralleled efforts to become president
must be attributed his biased judg-
ment and unbalanced mind. He will
not be president
This is pretty serious charge to
make, but it is justified by the facts
The late General Lawton expressed
this opinion in letter written just
before he was killed on the field of
battle:

The silver orator from Bryan down
are never tired of reiterating that
the gold standard is establishe ed solely
in the interest of the creditor class,
who want whatever is due them paid
in the highest kind of money.
They assume that the debtor class is
the poor who owe money, and that
the creditor class is the rich to whom
money is always due. On this
ground they endeavor to foment
hatred and bitterness among the
poor against the rich, and to array
class against class and employe
against employer. TO stir up such
iealousies and hatreds opens the road
to anarchy. and anarchy leads to the
destruction of government.
But it is not true that the poor are
the debtor class, and the rich the
creditor class. As a matter of fact
the great maiority of people belong
to both classes, havingmoney coming
to them from one direction and hav-
ing to pay is out in another. 1t is,
therefore, difficult to draw any hard
and fast line to separate the debtors
from the creditors. But if there is a
creditor class in this country, set of
people to whom that designation is
peculiarly applicable, it is not com
posed of the men who handle large
sums of money and who are engaged
i'll carrying on great enterprises.
They, for the most part, are debtors.
The real creditor class is composed of
working men and women, of EN-
ployes in every walk of business of
salaried people, and of depositors in
banks, especially depositors in saw
ings banks. These are the men and
women to whom money is always due
and who are entitled, if anybody in
all the world is, to the best and most
stable money that can be devised. A
fl uctuating money, varying in value
from time, is to them condemna-
tion of poverty and loss.

Signs and Ads"

Every person who has store, an
Office or other place of business. and
who considers painted sign over his
door necessary, can increase the num-
Der of his patrons by newspaper ad-
vertising. An immense proportion
of the people look to the newspapers
for information as to where they can
get what they want-a fact which
should furnish business men with a
strong motive for advertising. The
successful merchant would as soon
think of taking down his signs as of
leaving out his lads, which is proof
that they pay for themselves. From
a business point of view the only
valid excuse for failure to advertise
is that which prevents an establish
ment from carrying an adequate
stock-a lack of capital.

If Bryan were elected President
there is not bit of doubt that he
would construe it as proper indorse-
ment of his Is to ideas. He would
say that the end had justified the i'm
perialistic means by which he i'm
posed his will on the builders of the
Democratic platform, he heing indeed
wiser than they knew" In his
inaugural address he would say that
the will of the people as expressed at
the polls was that the gold law must
go, and the policy of free silverism be
ushered in. He would then proceed
to impose on congress the imperial
istic methods by which he won in the
Democratic committee on resolutions
at Kansas City. When congress had
done its bidding, and free silver was
accomplished, how would humbugged
honest money Democrats feel about
their own share in the dishonest
work of making present 100 cent dol
lars worth 42 cents? They would un-
doubtedly feel like 80 cents"
