\ 1t also underi the Cleveland adj
ADMINISTRATION. Those of us from the States
know that in certain places soup houses
and coal shops were run by charity to
keep the workingmans family from freez-

cratic orators show such a record I'M

would rush US blindly into a condition of
things when our workshops would close
up. our mills shut down, our building OPP
erations stop, and general distress step in
where prosperity is just beginning to
start up. The Democrats can not truth
fully deny that people lost by, failures one
hundred and twenty five million dollars
more under Cleveland than under McKin-
ley; and that under Mckinley the work
'ingmen Of the nation made over five hun
Gred million dollars more in wages than
under Cleveland. This matter of business
prosperity is an important one to u.s. We |
have our homes to buy or to pay for; we |
have our children to educate; we have to
be on our guard lest we pursue "a policy |
that will manufacture beggars instead OF
sugar. prominent Japanese gentleman |
told me today that he is a Democrat be- /
cause the Democratic party believes in
flee trade. This should show you what
kind of party it is in this particular. The
Republican party gave a bounty to domes-
tic sugar producers to encourage its pro-
duction, while the Democrats believe in
free trade. opening the doors wide and

TRY TO THROW DUST.
The Democrats tell us that We should
; oppose the Republicans because they are
expressing the Filipinos. What they say
upon this point is simply attempt to
throw dust in our eyes. The Republican
administration declared against
Spain with Bryan's approval, for he be-
, came colonel of a regiment; it adopted
the Paris treaty of peace, and entered
. the Philippines with Bryans approval.
. No Democrat will deny this All thought
: full Americans regret the bloodshed in
= those islands, and earnestly hoped to see
!. it stopped. But Bryan helped Mckinley
:, to take possession of those islands, and.
h certainly, he did not mean for the United
= States to pay twenty millions of dollars
=, and get out at the first clash of arms. No;
: for in his speech of acceptance Bryan
l. himself proposes the three following
: plans:
l. To give the Filipinos a stable govern
ment.
3 To grant them their independence
: 3. To protect them against other ma
IL tons; and, then, he says the United States
"a is entitled to Manila and that we should
get it from the Filipinos. Now, how can
= We give the islands a-erable government
H. without interfering in their affairs; and
l. how could we protect them without super
l. vising their intercourse with other ma
!; ticns? Bryan is inconsistent in his hue
and cry against Mckinley, when, if he
we're President and were to attempt to dc

Manila from the Filipinos; and, the way
he puts it, our request for the city of Ma
