TWO GREAT DIVINES SPEAK.
TT. Rev. Bishop Fowler, the great
Methodist bishop, spoke at Chicago
last week before 5000 people at the
Auditorium on "Lincoln and McKin-
ley" 1t vas a great speech and we
would like to print in full, but space
forbids. Following is a very brief
extract. He said on
IMPERIALISM.
s.To call expansion imperialism is
either foolish or %insincere, or both. 1t
is practicing ~fallacies upon the unin-
formed and the %contiding. Imperial
ism is absurd. No department of gov
ernment could usurp the supreme
power. Congress could not think of it.
The people would strangle their repre-
warm. The senate could not even I'M
dertake it. The people would stop
their supplies and starve senators be-
fore they could select their titles. The
president least of all could resist the
people. He is under law always. Con-
sress can stop supplies. The senate
III reject his p%artisans. The supreme
court can n%eutralize his laws, if uncon-
stitutional. He is only able to execute
the will of the people. The only pos
sible emperor is the absolute power
above congress-, above the senate, above
| the supreme court, above the president,
777,O00,00O people.
"The president resist the people I!
Mckinley resist the people! To Dor
row from Il Chicago orator: Rather
than undertake to resist the people, !
would go to sea in a boat of stone, with
sails of lead and oars of iron, with the
wrath of God for Il gale and hell for
the nearest port. A serious charge of
Imperialism is the craziest crime of
this century"
IF BRYAN SHOULD WIN.
"We are at the crossing of the roads.
If Bryan is elected he says he will call
an extra session of congress to leagal-
ize the Kansas City platform. He will
seek the repeal of the gold standard
bill, and open the minis TO the mine
owners for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. This will wreck business.
take half the value of our salaries and
and give it to the men who have the
gold. We don't want that.
elf Bryan is elected he will sock the
Immediate repeal of the tariff law and
secure free trade. This will stop our
spindles, close our factories and cool
our furnaces. This will transfer our
work beyond the sea to strangers and
leave our laborers idle and their fam
lilies hungry. Ii Bryan is elected he
will call back our armies. turn over all
the tribes of the Philippine islands to
be robbed and murdered by the Tagal.
and pull down our flag from where u
heroes have planted it.. We don't want
that.
son the other hand what? If Nc.
kinley is elected he will continue the
protective tariff. keeping our factories
and furnaces running and furnish
work and high wages to our laborers.
That is what we do want.
off Mckinley is elected he will re-
tain the gold standard, preserve sound
money and pay all III salaries and
wages in money worth 100 cents to the
dollar. That is what we do want.
"If Mckinley is elected, he will keep

preserving our national honor, That
is what we do want.
"lf Mckinley is elected he W ill hold
the United States up to the front as a
world power, secure the open door for
trade and the gospel and help to per-
petnate civilization. Thus Fastening
the end of heathenism and the Chris
tianization of the world. That is what
we do want.
therefore let us send him back to
his job"
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of the
Diocese of the northwest, tells in tho
following why he supports Predident
Mckinley:
81 am glad, on the eve of my return
to the United States, to contradict the
statement that | have wavered in my
adherence to republican principles. L
am a republican and intend to remain
one. There is more than ordinary
need of party loyalty this year. The
administration upon which the coun-
try is asked to pass judgment has been
and is now confronted with problems
of domestic and foreign policy which
to a certain degree put Americanism
on trial before the world.
"These problems / believe, the ad-
ministration has handled with ~sagacity,
craftsmanship, patriotism, and in a
manner which deserves the approval of
the American people. The unrivaled
progress Of the United States is the
wonder Of the nations in these closing
days of an eventful century. I am for
so much to justify the estimation In
