BRYAN'S SAYINGS ON
IMPERIALISM AND
MllITARlSM.

In addition to the evils which he and
the farmer share in common. the la
boring man will be the first to suffer
II oriental subjects seek work in the
United States; the first to suffer if
American capital leaves our shores to
employ oriental labor in the Philip
pines to supply the trade of China and
Japan; the first to suffer from the vio-
lence which the military spirit arouses
and the first to suffer when the meth
DDS of Imperialism are applied to our
own government.
Let this nation stand erect ana.
spurning the brides of wealth and
power. show that there is reality in
the principles which we profess: let
II show that there is difference be-
tween Il republic and a monarchy. and
the oppressed in every land will see in
our flag the hope of their own deliver
ance and, whether they are bleaching
upon tho battlefield or grooming be-
meath tyrants lash, will raise their
eyes toward heaven and breathe fer
vent prayer for the safety of our re-
public.
Three-quarters of n century ago,
when our nation was small the strug-
giles OF Greece aroused our people. and
Webster and Clay gave eloquent en-
preston to the universal desire for
Grecian independence. In 1896 all par
ties manifested lively interest in the
success of the Cubans, but now when
war is in progress in South Africa
which must result In the extension of
the monarchical idea or in the triumph
of republic, the advocates of impe
rialism in this country dare not say
word in behalf of the Beers.
Imperialism would be profitable to
the army contractors: it would be
profitable to the ship-owners, who
would carry live soldiers to the Phil
ippines and bring dead soldiers back:
1t would be profitable to those who
would seize upon the franchises. and it
would be profitable TO the officials
whose salaries ,SNild lie fixed here and
paid over there; but to the farmer to
the laboring man. and to the vast ma
jority of those engaged in other oc-
equations it would bring expenditure
without return and risk without re-
ward.
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 eX-
panded more rapidly than the COM
merce 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 connection with
Canada or the nations of Europe in
order to trade With them. Trade can
not be permanently profitable unless it
is voluntary.
In commemoration of the fact that
France was our ally in securing indie
pendence the citizens of that nation
Joined with the citizens of the United
States in placing in New York hnrbor
an heroic statue representing liberty
enlightening the world. What course
shall our nation pursue? Send the
statue of liberty back to France and
borrow from England Il statue OF VIII
liam the Conqucror? Or shall our ma
ton so act as to enable the Ameri-
can people to join with the Flipinos
in placing in the harbor of Manila a
statue of liberty enlghtening the
orient?

of sending an architect to Egypt,
Rome and Athens TO study mausol.

able to be built at Kimberley to the
memory Of those killed during the
siege. Such project attests Mr..
Rhodes confidence that the erection
OF monuments in South Africa is to
be the concern of the British rather
than of the Dutch. Be it noticed,
to Mr.. Rhodes credit, that he pro-
poses TO build his mausoleum in
Kimberley and not in London.
Many exceptions are observed now
adays TO the scriptural maxim that
where mans treasure is there shall
his heart be also, but with Mr..
Rhodes it really seems to hold good.
His heart is really in Africa, along

Forbes was born ia Morayshire,
Scotland, in 1888, was a student at

call forth the notice OF his superiors.
In 1870 he went TO the Franco

the London Illustrated News, and
remained in the service of that pa
per until compelled by ill-health to
lesye the field.
He accompanied the German
army from the beginning to the end
OF the war, giving to the world
through his paper the most graphic
descriptions of the operations that
we're ever sent from the field, and he
saw and reported the latter part of
the Commune. that followed.
In 1874 he reported the terrible
famine in India, then the Carist
war in Spain and the war OF 1876 in
Servia. His most notable work as a
correspondent was in the Russo

the siege of Plevna.
