WILLIAM T. BAKER.
President of the Worlds Fair Leaves
the Democratic Party.

William r. Baker, e~X-president of
the Chicago board of trade, and of the
worlds fair. and one of the leading
democrats of Chicago. has made an
open statement of his purpose to vote
for Mckinley this fall. In a letter
made public today. he makes a power
full attack against Bryan, whom he
says personifies 16 to l and lawless-
ness. and is the greatest 'imperialist"
since Napoleon Bonaparte.
Mr.. Baker has been we'll known in
the past for his convictions in favor
of free trade and for his aggressive
interest in the work of the National
Tariff Reform league. Mr.. Baker says.
however. that even the democratic
doctrine of free trade has been aban-
doued for principles hat c r~estric-
ton of trade, and. through the popu-
Ilistic attitude on trusts" a Limitation
of all successful enterprise within
state lines"
The letter follows:
Hon. NJ. A. Hanna. Chairman Re
publican National Committec-My
Dear Sir: The democratic ~organiza-
ton has passed under the control of
public enemies, and no man who holds
to the traditional doctrines of the par
Ity is under the slightest obligation to
follow the present leaders.
The policies hat guided the party
from Jefferson to Cleveland have been
sidetracked for the isms of populists
and an archists. Even free trade has
given way to Bryan's promise that he
will recommend such additional legis,
lation as may be necessary to dissolve
every private monopoly which does
business outside of the state of its
origin"
This would mean under populist
Interpretation and control the limita,
ton of all successful enterprise with,
in state lines; not n captivating pro,
gram to suggest at the moment when
American is being pushed
beyond the seas.
The democratic crusade against eX,
panSiOn, termed imperialism" is an
absolute sham, a silly and %hypocriti,
cal invention to divert attention from
their revolutionary purposes. Expan.

ed by the phantom of imperialism
which Bryan has conjured up for this
campaign only.
Since Napoleon Bonaparte, there
has been no greater imperialist thar
Bryan himself. His will is the law of
the party that supports him, and, if
elected, he would endeavor to rule the
entire nation with the same iron hand.
Napoleon deluged Europe in blood to
reach a throne, and Bryan would not
hesitate to wreck every industry in
the land to attain the presidency.
This talk of Imperialism is like the
rattle of the snake that hurts nobody.
1t is the head of the reptile that is
dangerous, and there you will find the
free silver bite.
The paramount issue is exactly the
same now that it was in 1896. 1t is

MIR. BRYAN ON SULU SLAVERY.

At Fort Scott Mr.. Bryan was asked,
What about North CarOlina?' where
upon he replied: Il want you to cad
the Suiu treaty and. having done that.
day and never have time to think OF
North Carolina" When Mr.. Bryan
made that reply he praCticed directly
upon the supposed ignorance of his
hearers, and without making any as
sertion of fact he deliberately sought
to carry the idea hat President Nc
Kinley had, in dealing with the Sulu
Sultan, treated to restore slavery in
territory belonging to the United
States.
a Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat discusses
that and another charge which Mr..
Bryan has been making regarding re-
publican disfranchisement of negroes
in the District OF Columbia, and as the
communication covers both cases per
fCCtly, we copy it, that decent people
may see how desperate are the means
resorted to by Mr.. Bryan this year.
1t is as subjoined:
Mr.. Bryan referred to the alleged
recognition of slavery in that docu-
mcnt, but he did not have the homes
ty to tell his audience that President
Mckinley had distinctly disapproved
of any part of the treaty which could
be construed into a recognition Of
slavery. The whole treaty was sub
ject to the action OF congress, but the
president specifically d]isapproved of
anything that resembled recognition
of slavery, as is fully proven by the
following official correspondence on
the subject:
War Department, Washington, Oc-
tober -, lS99.-Sir:-The president
instructs me to advise you that the
agreement signed August 30, 1859, be-
tween Brigadier General John C.
Bates, representing the United States,
of the Il part, the Sultan of Jolo. the
Dato Rajah Muda, the Dato Attik, the
Dato Calbi and the Dato Joakanian, of
the other part, is confirmed and APP
proved subject to the action of con
gress provided for in that clause of the
treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain which provides that
the civil rights and the political sta
tus of the native inhabitants of the
territory hereby conceded to the Uni
ted States shall be determined by CON
gress, and with the understanding and
reservation, which should be distinct
ly communicated to the Sultan OF Jo-
10, that this agreement is not to be
deemed in any way to authorize or to
give the consent of the United States
to the existence of slavery in the Sulu
archipelago, a thing which is made i'm
to the constitution of the United
States. At the same time, when you
communicate to the sultan the above
mentioned understanding, the presi-
dent desires that you should make in
.quiry as to the number of persons held
iE slavery in the archipelago, and what
arrangement it may be practicable to
make for their emancipation. 1t is as
sumed that the market price referred
to in the agreement of August 20, 1899.
is not very high at present, an. it may
be that a comparatively moderate sum
which congress might be willing to ap-
propriate for that purpose, would suf.
flee to secure freedom for the whole
number.

ry should be prosecuted in such a way

POLITICALNOTES

Mr.. Bryan produces a decided nov
in argument when he declares
that the way to continue Mckinley
times is to defeat Mckinley.
When Mr.. Bryan is engaged in max
ing a calamity speech the toot OF the
factory whistle is every bit as annoy
Ing to him as the hiss of an auditor.
FicJirious fears and false forcbod-
ings constitute the democratic stock
in trade.
MIR Bryau's love for free speech was
not on tap when his Kentucky friends
turned out and threw three bad eggs
at that distinguished democrat. the
Hon. John G, Carlisle. At least the
dcocratic nominee offered no protest
at the time and later proceeded 10

CURRENT COMMENT.
GROWING INDEPENDENCE.
(Provid snoe Journal.)


1t Is gratifying to notice anywhere q
growing spirit or independence. In Con.
nscticut two Of the staunchesT Democratic
journals of other days, the New Haven
Register and Hartford Times, are against
Bryan and yet in favor OF the Democratic
candidate for governor. The Register
goes to the extent of supporting MIR. No
Kinley, but the Times merely declares
itsslf antagonistio to the Democratic
Presidential nominee. Both agree that
Judge Bronson is a more attractive can
didate for governor than Mr.. Mclean,
and their influence ought to be shown on
election day in q greater popular vote for
Bronson than for Bryan. Outside their
own particular circle of influence, 1t
may be added, there is feeling that the
best interests OF the state can be served
to the greatest degree by vote for Mo-
Kinley and Bronson.
THE BRITISH CABINET.
New York Times.)
In the first place every body knows that
the inefficiency OF the British War De-
partment did not begin with Lansdowne,
and that his responsibility for 1t was
strictly technical. In the second place,
the ministry has just got blank check,
a yots OF blind confidence In it. War De
partment scandals and all, It has no
political need to reform the War Depart
ment, therefore the War Department will
not be reformed. Meanwhile, by promot-
ing its scapegoat, It has provided him
with a secure Parliamentary bomD-proof,
from which he can grin defiance upon
the questions with which his successor Is
bombarded. 1t ia not an ''ideaI'' ar
rangement. z But, as = one OF tire
British critics most Disguised with 1t
observes, at least 1t avoids the spectacle
of Mr. Chamberlain conducting the for
eign politics of Great Britain, to ths APP
prehsnsion and alarm Of surrounding
nations.

All the indications point to the cleo
ton Of Mckinley and Roosevelt by an
overwhelming majority In the electoral
college, and by q popular majority not
so large, perhaps, as that received by
the Republican ticket four years ago, but
o very substantial one nevertheless. The
oloss OF the campaign finds the Republi-
can leaders calm and confident, and the
Democratic claiming much, but be-
traying many symptoms that their
confidence is one Of profession merely.
No leader who was really confident
would put forth such proclamations
as have Croker and Chairman Jones
during the past week. The New York
boss's orders to his henohmen to seize the
ballot boxes II the count did not agree
with their tally. an order that was prac-
tically ratified by Chairman Jones, was
proof OF a ratified state OF mind, 1t
was practically a cry of despair. Croker
is too old and accomplished a politician
to commit SO egregious a blunder, In his
sober senses. The disoouraging reports
made by his henchmen had quite I'M
nerved him when he put forth that proc
lamation. Instead of the SO. 900, which he
had been promising the reports indicated
only about 10000. and he knew that
figure sounded the death knell OF what
ever chance there had been OF the Demo
Gratis carrying the stats. 1t was when
he was depressed by these reports that he
counselled the seizure of the ballot boxes
and the throwing out OF the election
officials. Practically 1t was q confession
that the state was lost unless the count
could be tempered with by the Democrats
In a moment OF intense evaporation he
gave vent to his feelings, Doubtless the
next day he would have been exceedingly
glad II he could have recalled his pro-
cIamation. But the mischief had been
dons. The true state of his feelings had
been incautiously disclosed, and what had
been done could not be updone. II there
of New York than Cookers proclamation
that would be enough TO make 1t safe to
predict Repu blican victory. But there
is plenty of other evidence. The sound
money parade of Saturday showed that
the votes were as thoroughly stirred up
as In 1896, and that the intention to
down Bryan is just as strong today as 1t
was then. New York state an only be
carried by the Democrats when they roll
up tremendous majority In the metropo-
lis. Everything indicates that they can
not do that this year, and without New
York state organs cause is hopeless.

Both branchesiof the city government
voted to accept the proposition OF the

on the Marginal Way. There was an

after the hearing on the harbor line In

majority. AS we have previously said, If
the railroad company is free to build

more for a location on the Way than

that the road could not build outside
