Ownership Unneccessarr.

1t is not necessary to own people in order
to trade with them We carry on trade to-
day with every part Of the world, and our
commerce has expanded more rapidly than
the commerce of any European empire We
do not own Japan or China but we trade
with their people We have not absorbed
the republics of Central and South America,
but we trade with them. 1t has not been
necessary to have any political connections
with Canada or the nations of Europe in
order to trade with them Trade cannot be
permanently profitable unless it is yolun-
tary When trade is secured by force the
cost of securing it and retaining it must be
taken out Of the profits, and the profits are
never large enough to cover the expense
Such a system would never be defended but
for the fact that the expense is borne by all
the people, while the profits are enjoyed by
the few
Imperialism would be profitable to the
army contractors; it would be profitable to
tliC mp OnACiS, HIO AOlId Gritty live SOL
diers to the Philippines and bring dead
soldiers back; it would be profitable to
those who would seize upon the franchises,
and it would be profitable to the officials
whose salaries would be fixed here and paid
over there; but to the farmer, 10 the labor
ing man, and to the vast majority of those
engaged in other occupations it would bring
expenditure without return and risk with
out reward.
Farmers and laboring men have, as u
rule, small incomes and, under systems
which place the tax upon consumption, pay
more than their fair share of the expenses of
government. Thus the very people who
receive least benefit from imperialism will
be injured most by the military burdens
which accompany it. [From William J..
Bryan's notification speech.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-08-16

An address to the Democrats Of the
United States, signed by Mr.. Bryan and
others, was issued on Friday night, Aug.
10. It urges the formation of Democratic
clubs and is as follows
To the Democrats of the United States:
''The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidation in politics this year BY thor
ough organization. A Democratic club or
society should be organized in every city,
town, village and precinct in the United
States Democrats and all who are in
sympathy with the principles set forth by
the Kansas City platform are urgently
requested to join Democratic clubs, or, if
none exist, to assist in organizing one.
No patriotic citizen can ignore the
attacks which are being made upon the
very foundations of our present ire
proachabIe form Of government. This year
every citizen should be a politician. Clubs
and societies should at once communicate
with the secretary of the National Associa-
ton Of Democratic Clubs, 1870 Broadway,
New York City, 50 that the united member
ship may work systematically in defense Of
the republic as the fathers made it. All
Democratic committees, state and local, are
requested to aid the National Association
Of Democratic Clubs in this work.

The difficulty of getting the truth from
this Administration about anything, and
the ability Of a man with sufficient pull to
bang on government job after being found
guilty Of a erookedness in Office, are DEM

an inspector Of the post office department,
who was found guilty Of issuing Govern
ment transportation to private individuals
for personal gain. Fourth Assistant POST
master General Bristow recommended Ham
let's dismissal, and it was officially an
nounced that he had been dismissed. Then
Hamlet brought his pull to bear, and he
was granted further time to answer the
charge Of which he had been found guilty:
