LABORING MEN AND FARMERS
WOULD BE THE FIRST TO
SUFFER IF BRYAN WERE
ELECTED.

Y ingmen OF the election Of
Mr. Bryan?
1t was in 1895 that Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress came into control Of
the government, and in 1894 they put a
low tariff law upon the statute books,
just as Mr.. Bryan and a Democratic
Congress would do if they got control Of
national affairs in 1901. The Chicago
platform which was readopted by the
Kansas City convention declared in
favor of leaving the Wilson law upon
the statute books and therefore the least
that could be expected of the party
would be its re-enaCment
What is promised by Mr.. Bryan and
his party in regard to the currency? The
free and unlimited coinage of silver. He
specifically said in 1896 that he would
put the country on a silver basis if elect
ed, and as he refused to again become
the party's candidate without declara-
ton for free coinage, we may assume
that he intends to do the same thing if
elected in 1900. But we do not have to
assume anything, for at GAINESVILLE, o.,
recently he announced in explicit Ian.
guage that "the party stands where
it did in 1896 on the money question.
1t is, therefore, apparent that the first
work OF Mr.. Bryan and his party, on
getting control of the government, would
be to put the country on silver basis.
Would not this produce panic far
greater than that Of 1898 and 1894 which
the Democrats attributed to the Sherman
law? Nobody can doubt it. Would not
this be followed by the enactment of an
other low tariff law probably more ex-
IRENE than the Wilson law which was
unsatisfactory to the Democratic party
because of certain protective features:
Undoubtedly.
What then are the conditions in which
the country would find itself before Mr.
Bryan had been one year President:
First, panic far worse than that Of 1859:
and 1894, and, second low tariff law
worse than that of 1S94-97.
1t is conceded by all that the terrible
conditions which overlook the farmers
and workingmen in the period of 1893 81
were due either TO financial panic OF
the low tariff, or both, and there can be
no doubt that the election of Mr.. Bryan
would be followed by both panic anc
low tariff in quick succession and eacl
of them more radical and more danger
Gus than those Of that we'll remembered
occasion.

~ NE of the most encouraging
East is the ne ' manner in which vi
the conservative city OF Balti-
more is seeking to elect the Republican
ticket. A few weeks ago it was practic-
ally conceded that Maryland would go
Democratic because it was believed that
the Democratic majority of last Fall
could not be overcome. 1t is found
now, however, that thousands of men,
who voted the Democratic ticket in
the Maryland state campaign, will not
support Bryan and his policies. If the

T is no longer a question of whether
President Mckinley will be elected
i nor Of whether Republican ma
jority of the House will be elected,
but of how large Mckinley and Roose-
velts majority in the Electoral College
will be, and of how large the Republi-
can majority in the House will be.
Those who know the political situation
the most thoroughly will be the least
surprised to see election day produce a
regular Republican landslide. Things
look more like it every day.

in the first place expose us to the charge
OF a cowardly evasion of duty, and in the
second place might put our interests
in jeopardy, for it Is by no means certain
that whatever would protect their inter-
ests would also conserve ours. Further
more we are a world power now, and
along with the other world powers, must
accept our share of the worlds burdens.
Senator Beveridge asserted that the special
mission of the United States was to carry
light to the dark places of the earth, and
to be the chief agent in the spread OF
civilization and evangelization. We can
not fulfil that mission by hurrying out of
China the minute we have rescued our
own citizens. Our presence there was
compelled by the peril which our citizens
had been placed In by the murderous acts
Of the Chinese government. We went
there with no intent of territorial aggran-
dizement, but only to protect our citizens
and our rights growing out of treaties
with the Chinese. We have as good a
right, though resting on a somewhat
different basis, to be there as in the
Philippines, and we have as good right
to stay there until order is restored and
stable government is assured that will
be able to keep the peace and protect the
lives and properly of both natives and
foreigners. If the arguments which have
proved convincing to the people In the
matter of the occupation of the Philip
pines are going to have equal weight in
the case of Ch1na-and 1t is difficult TO
see why they should MOTIVE shall not
withdraw until at least the country has
been pacitied, stable government erected
and our commercial rights safeguarded
from infringement either by China
or by the European powers.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-08-24

According to the New York Tribune
the drift of talk at Washington now is
that our troops win have to remain in
China until spring. at least. The hope
and expectation were at one time that the
troops might be withrawn as soon as the
am bassadors were rescued, but 1t now
begins to be discovered that 1t viii not do
to leave the protection of our interests in
China or the obtaining of guarantees for
the future safety OF our citizens in the
Empire entirely to the European powers,
all OF whom have interests of their own
which might clash with ours. 1t must
be confessed that there is a great deal of
force in this presentation of the case. If
we exclude interest which arises from
legal ownership our interests are vastly
greater in China Than in the Philippines.
Hardly an American citizen Except the
soldiers of our army, was in the Philip
pines when we took them, while there
are many thousands of them in China.
Furthermore we have large trade with
China, second only to Great Britain sand
capable of indefinite expansion. Our real
stake in the future of China is therefore far
greater than that in the Philippines, We
have in these islands now 60, 900 men en-
gagged in restoring order, and we do not
intend to Withdraw them until
that is accomplished. OF course
there is an obligation growing out
of our sovere'g nty to restore order in
the Philippines and establish a
stable government there which does not
exist in the case of China, but on every
other ground our obligation is quite as
strong, and on some grounds, stronger in
China than in the Philippines. The
missionary argument is certainly quite
as potent as regards the former as the
latter, and we know it had great force in
the Philippines, 1t may be said that we
can trust the European powers to restore
order without our help, and arrange for
the future government of the country.
But to leave them to do this alone might

the conclusion that so long as they stay

They have done what they could in the
