BOUGHT SLAVES
UNDER OUR FLAG.
Horrible Trade Still Exists In
SuIu Under Freedoms
Banner.

Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-Twelve prOmi-
nent Democrats of this city who are
engaged In the expectation of ginseng
to China some time ago commissioned
their agent in Iongkons To send mes
senger to the sultan of Sulu to pur-
chase ten slaves under the American
flag. The slaves were bought in Au-
gust and are expected in Ohio in fort
night They are boys and girls who
will be legally adopted and educated
by prominent Democrats of Hamilton
county.
1t was found that the sultan had sew
eral thousand slaves and that for many
years past he has been large shipper
of his victims to the English sugar
plantations in Queensland, where the
poor wretches die off like flies.
The last parliamentary blue book
gives appalling statistics of the death
rate of the victims of the sugar max
ers' greed. Rajah Brookes, the English
man who handled the bulk of the cap
tives of the sultan of Sulu. left S1S,-

THE Democrats and Republicans
ate agreed on one point in regard to
the Filiplnos-that is that they shall
not be citizens. but here they part
company. The Republicans insist
they shall be made subjects, having
neither the responsibilities nor duties
of American citizenship. The DEM
ocrats want them for neither subjects
nor citizens. Is it not that the gen.
eral belief of the American people,
setting partisanship aside? Then
there is but one thing to do, and that
is to let the Filipinos govern them
selves, under our protection, until
they are able to take care Of them
selves and maintain a government
of their own, for which Admiral
Dewey and other authorities say they
are much better qualified than the
Cubans If we would cOncede them
these terms, it would add greater
honor to the American name than
their subjugation. That is what a
vote for Bryan stands for in the
Philippine trouble. 1t would end
the war in ten days, and the advance
guard of our army of 10000 men.
now dying off like sheep, could start
for home.

The ph,1innine Question.

1t may be asked. Since we are in the
Philippines, how are we 10 get out!
The answer is easy, By treating the
Philippines as we promised to treat
Cuba. The promise made by congress
to Cuba was independence and self
government. By implication that prom
ise was also made to the Philippines.
If we had given this assurance to
Aguinaldo and his followers. we would
have had no war with them. Such
a pledge now would end the war. The
Democratic platform pledges the Fill
ipinos, first, stable form of govern
ment; second. independence, and third,
protection from outside interference,
such as has been given for nearly
century to the republics of Central and
South America.

The Campaign Closed.

The Newspaper campaign is over.
The Sentinel has tried to do its
duty to our party with our best judi
gment and the Indifferent ability
vouchsafed us, and we stand bp the
record. We have argued democratic
doctrine; we have upheld our ticket;
We have given more reading matter
both of news and in politics, than all
the other papers combined. We
have treated the opposition candidates
as gentlemen and good citizens, be-
cause they are that kind OF men. We
have opposed republicanism because
we believe it wrong.
Next week the Sentinel will an
nounce the result of the election, and
no matter what the verdict of the
people may be, We shall dutifully
abide the decree and continue to pub
lish a paper in the interests of the
people of Logan and Hooking county
and while this issue closes this con-
test, fhe Sentinel next week opens
the next campaign. The democracy
never dies. Neither victory nor de-
feat imrairs nor impedes its health
nor hope and the Sentinel will con.
tlnue its exponent and be sleepless
picket in undiminished vIgor in tue
! future as it has been for the last six
ty years, on the front lines and at the
post of danger. +
We sincerely thank all our old
! friends Of life time, and the many
new subscribers of the past campaign
foI words of cheer and encourage
ment and liberal patronage, and hope
to always continue to deserve like
regard from the good people of Hook
ing county.

A FEW WORDS
TO THE VOTER,
You Have It In Your Power to
Defeat Trust OeSpotism.

You love liberty and hate despctisrn::
you oppose monopoly; you want gov
ernment by the people and not by
class; you wish the flag to be the en-
blem Of freedom; you are convinced
that the Republican leaders OF today
are the agents of the trusts and that,
In obedience to the commands Of the
monopolies, they are betrayfng the
people and establishing despotism.
What can you do to save the republic!
Listen. The people are sovereign
The ballot is omnipotent. Three re-
form parties are in the field under, the
leadership of Bryan, and, with con-
gress such as will come with his cleo
ton, the great powers Of government
will be taken out of the hands OF
friends Of the trusts and turned against
monopoly that justice may be done to
all.
The platform Of the three parties In
the main declare for the reforms you
favor and oppose the wrongs which are
injuring you. These platforms advo-
cate all the fathers fought and bied
for. all that Lincoln lived and died for.
Read these platforms and see If this is
not true. They speak in no uncertain
tone, and the man these reform parties
name for president is W. ]. Bryan, the
greatest living exponent Of the princi-
pies of the reform platforms. No man
doubts Mr.. Bryan's sincerity, no man
questions his courage. If you cannot
agree with him in all things, you sure
" do in most things. In this supreme
struggle you should make your vote
and influence felt. One thing Is GER
tain-either Mckinley or Bryan Will
be elected. Which shall it be? Behind
Mckinley is Mark Hanna, and behind
Hanna is the plutocracy. All the trusts
are for Mckinley; every trust Is against
Bryan; every imperialist is against
him. Bryan's reliance is upon the peo-
pie, and you are one Of the people.
VIII you be for Bryan and the republic
or for Mckinley and the empire!

Ed, SENTINEL:
1t is pretty hard to

knows how Ward will vote until the

making great boast of a gain from an
increase of population, some CLAIM

of Hungarians and Darkeys have

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
AND MARK HANNA
Viewsof Two Republican Party
Leaders Cortrasted,

Mr.. Hanna threatens .sft unless NC
Kinley is reelected there will be tnan-
cial depression, and perhaps even
panic may be forced by Wall street.
Now read what Abraham Lincoln
wrote to Truman Smith on Nov. 1O,
1860, che week following his election
to the presidency:
81 am not insensible to any commer-
cial or financial depression that may
exist, but nothing is to be gained by
fawning around the respectable scoun-
drels' who got it up. Let them go to
work and repair the mischief Of their
own making. and then perhaps they
will be less greedy to do the like
again."
Mr.. Hanna insists that the policy OF
imperialism contains no menace to
freedom under our own institutions.
Abraham Lincoln saw clearly. as
every other thinker in the worlds his
tory has seen, that freedom and a de-
NAL of freedom were inconsistent. In
one of the greatest speeches which he
ever delivered, at Springfield, Ills,
Oct. 1, 1854. six years before he was
elected to the presidency. he said:
"Those who deny freedom to 9TH
ers deserve 1T not for themselves
and under a Just God cannot long
retain Ii"
Mr.. Hanna claims that he Is in favor
Of liberty and free institutions, but
Mr.. Hanna's definition of liberty and
free institutions would not look well
beside Abraham Lincoln's.
Abraham Lincoln's utterances form
a political Bible from which innumera-
BILE texts may be drawn for the en-
ughtenment Of humanity. Here is
what he said April II, 1864. in Balti-
more:
"rhe world Is in want Of a good def
milton of the word liberty. We all de-
clare ourselves to be for liberty, but
we do not all mean the same thing.
With some it means that a man can do
as he pleases with himself and his
property. With others it means that
some men can do as they please with
other men and other mems labor. Each
Of these things is called liberty, al
though they are entirely different."-

In answer to

that we will make gain by getting

gain Of twenty or twenty-five. The

to do. hope they are thinking and

of a man who will scratch the ticket.

Lincoln on the Right to Strike.
Abraham Lincoln was as fearless In
telling the truth as he was in denounc-
ing what was false and wrong. He
made speech in New Haven in regard
to a shoemakers' strike at that place.
The date was March 8. 1SGO. Two
days less than a year afterward Abra-
ham Lincoln was president Of the Unit
ed States. In that speech he said:
81 am glad to see that a system OF Ia
Dor prevails In New England under
which laborers can strike when they
want to; where they are not obliged to
work under all circumstances. l like q
system which lets a man quit when
he wants to and wish 1t might prevail
everywhere"

Mr.. Editor:

New Plymouth o. Oct. 90" 1900.
Mr.. Editor:
Star, as You know, is
hopelessly, desperately obscured in
Republican prejudice. Anything TO
beat a Democrat is the war cry.
"See our prosperity" is the only
argument, as though Mckinley had
anything to do with the business OF
the country, except to encourage
Trusts, ard Tariffs, and a needless
war on the Philippines. The old
wool growers cant account for the
low price of wool and lack of buyers
at any price. Mckinley is not re-
sponslale for that, o! NO! but he in-
stead of the drouth is to be credited
with the high price of hay. l don't
know OF any gains in Star, except
what will come from a stay at hom=
class. Our Democrats are the true
blue. The have been tried in the
fiery furnace, and can, every man, be
counted OH to vote. We will make
some gains perhaps among the lab
oring men, but the old timers are tied
to their idols. Let them alone. Stil
up the democrats in Marion, ant
make your gain there where Demo
Gratis live.
We all will be glad to hear from
the Democratic strong holds, know
ing full we'll. that while here sur
rounded, invested by an overwhelm
ing force, relief will come from tht
army of Democracy, five hundred
thousand stronger than four years
ago.
