Threats against the South.


The Philadelphia Press, an All
ministration organ, whose utter
ances have more than ordinary sig
nificance, notifies the Democratic
leaders that unless they "drop the
issue OF imperialism" the Repub-
lIcan party will do dreadful things
to the South for disfranchising
negroes by imposing restrictions
on the suffrage. From what the
Press has to say it may be inferred
that the Republican organs and
orators will begin at once a sec
tional campaign against the South
ern States and will try to FIRE the
Northern heart as they did in the
good old days OF reconstruction
and carpet-bag government. The
Press lamely contends that the
only imperialism" in this country
is to be found in the South, where
illiterate negroes are denied the
right Of suffrage. Assuming that
the protection OF Southern homes
and institutions by the elimination
OF the ignorant negro note is "im-
perialism," it is directly the result
OF the imperial policy of the Re-
publican party in IS6I-'65. In nit
igating as far as possible by con-
stitutional methods the evils of the
imperial policy oi the Civil War
period the South should have the
support OF all anti imperialists,
Certainly the experience of the
Southern States with the black
race ought to make all thoughtful
men oppose the Republican plan
to annex and absorb o,ooo, ,ooe
brown skinned people of an alien
race. The issue of imperialism
will not be dropped in this cam
paign because OF threats to punish
the South for eliminating the ig
norant negro vote. The South
indeed, will continue to oppose i'm
perialism in the Philippines as wei
as in its own affairs, and will no
be deferred by threats from Re
publican sources.

American Expansion ana Mckinley
Imperialism,


Imperialism,
In his Indianapolis speech Mr.
Bryan referred to the assumed
right of the President or Congress
to treat millions of people as mere
possessions in violation Of the
Constitution.
Harping upon this string. the
New York Tribune says:
"Now, it is an historic fact
that Thomas Jefferson ruled
Orleans as a mere possession
unrestrained by the Constitu-
ton or the Bill of RIGHTS.
After Americans used to self
government moved there a
Territorial form OF govern
ment was erected and then a
State. But for some time the
country was ruled with all that
disregard Of the Constitution
and guardianship of depend
ents which so scandalizes Mr..
Bryan in the case OF Porto
Rico"
Now, let us see the difference
between this expansion Of JeAer-
son and McKinley's imperialism.
In Jeferson's treaty with France,
of October 81, 1903. ceding the
territory referred to by the Tribune
to the United States, the rights and
destinies OF the inhabitants are ex-
pressly set forth as follows:
The inhabitants Of the
ceded territory shall be in,:or-
porated in the Union OF the
United States and admitted as
soon as possible, according to
the principles Of the Federal
Constitution, to the enjoyment
OF all the rights, advantages
and immunities Of citizens OF
the United States, and in the
meantime they shall be main
tanned and protected in the free
enjoyment Of their liberty,
property, and the religion
which they profess"
The inhabitants were to become
of the United States, en-
ioying all the blessings and priv
ileges thereof. This is true, legit-
innate American expansion accord
ing to the principles of the Federal
Constitution. This is Jederson.
Now, what does the Mckinley
-reatY With Spain say OF our newly
acquired subiects1 1t says:
"The civil rights and politi-
cal status OF the native inhabi-
tants OF the territories hereby
ceded to the United States shall
be determined by the Con-
gress.
In short, the civil rights and
political status of the inhabitants
Ire to be left to a Republican Con-
yress, under dictation from Repub-
ican bosses.
Under this dictation the princi-
pies OF the Federal Constitution
lave been cast aside, the inhabi-
ANTS oil Porto Rico have been
:axed without representation and
/ tariff wall placed between them
md the rest OF the United States.
Such a course is imperialism pure
and simple.

sponsible for it, they created it,
the Republican Administration is
committed to it and vet he party
leaders are making the most siren
uous efforts to shirk it. This is
not only political cowardice. but it
is poor policy as well. II the Re-
publican party does not come out
into the open and defend itself
from the attacks upon the uncon
stitutional system OF territorial eX-
pansion with which it has ideuti-
fed itself, the people will suspect
that its motives are even more sin
lister than they now appear to be.
A policy of evasion is one OF con-
f.ssion. In the 1900 battle OF the
standards the chief issue is whether
our standard OF government is to
continue to conform to the stand
ard Of our foreiathers or whether
we are to "push along the road to
empire" Men who believe in
form Of ofgovernment will
not be frightened by the harmless
ghost of I6 to I. They are not
going to settle the question Of con-
stltutional government and human
rights on a commercial basis.

upon which our party has seen fit to
take position. In our platform we have
declared that we do not believe that the
social habits OF the people are proper
subjects for constitutional provision and
have expressed our preference Tor the
present license law rather than the
Prohibition amendment which has been
proposed.
Again, on October IS, 1890, Mr..
Bryan spoke in the Grand Opera
House in Omaha. In this speech
he referred to the amendment as
"the dark cloud OF Prohibition"
and on the next day said:
endorse the position of the Demo,
cratic party when it says that the Con-
s'i,ution is not the place to bring In the
personal and domestic arrangements OF
the people.
In ITS issue OF October 10, 1890,
the Omaha W0yIa He,ald Bryan
organ and the paper OF which Mr..
Bryan was, at later date, editor,
said editorially:
At the CoDnel Bryan debate in Lin
coin it was noticed;
That Mr.. Connell avoided the subject
OF Prohibition
That Mr.. Bryan declared himself
unequivocally opposed to Prohibition.
Mr.. Connell saves his anti
Prohibition speech for Omaha audiences
because he is a vote catcher and he can
catch votes in this way. Bul anti Prohi-
bitionists would appre ciate Mr.. Connell
a little better if, like Mr., Pryan, he
would made an anti Prohibition speech
when be knows that a portion OF his
audience are ProhibitIonists
On October II, 1890, the same
paper again in an editorial says
Mr.. Bryan has made an anti
Prohibition argument in all his speeches
almost without exception wherever
delivered. Bryan has probably made
no less than as anti Prohibition argu
ments, He has made at least three in
every county in his district. He does
not confne these speeches to Omaha as
Connell does The people Of Omaha
who oppose Prohibition will probably
be able to see through Mr., Connell's
methods They will probably be able
to appreciate Mr.. Bryan's services, who
makes anti Prohi oItIon spec ches where
they do some good.
And finally, during this same
campaign in Nebraska
in 1890, Mr.. BRYAN told the New |
York V0ice represen atiVe, in so
many words, that he was Opposed
to all that sort of legislation" l."
Thus it will be seen that Mr..
Bryan has taken a decided stand
upon this important issue. He is
o opposed to Prohibition and he
takes no pains to conceal his oppo-
sition to it. Should he be elected |
President, the friends of personal
liberty may rest assured that their
rights will be saieguarded and that
no measure inimicablv affecting
their social and domestic habits |
will ever receive his sanction.
Let all friends oi personal liberty |
bear this in mind and vote Tor him
on election day.

EnrIching an English Syndicate.
One of the fairest types of the
horse leech industry fastened by
legislation on the American people
is that OF the Borax Trust. We
take it as a sample Of the working
Of the Republican tariff.
The report OF the Borax Trust
for 1899 shows a net profit for the
year of 10 per cent on a capitaliza
ton Of $1,000, 900, half of which is
water"
The percentage OF profits is not
alarming considering the enor
nous dividends Of some Of the
other indus ries which are fosteTed
by protection, but the clean cut
manner in which the Borax Trust
has been favored by the tariff
affords a remarkable affirmation Of
the Havemeyer aphoTism that "the
tariff is the mother OF trusts"
When the Dingley bill was under
consideration Mr.. F. M. Spnith, the
representative OF the Trust, went
before the committees asking for
an increase in the tariff from two
cents allowed in the Wilson act to
FIVE cents. II was pleaded that
borax refining was an "infant in
dustrV" liable to die and in sore
need Of protection"
Although the Borax Trust had
made a profit of S446,ooo in 1892
and 1893, which was over 6 per
cent on the capitalization, and IL
per cent for some years before that,
the tariff was raised to FIVE cents.
The immediate result was that the
profits Of the Trust rose to nearly
81, 800, 900 year, and the Ameri-
can consumer has not even the
consoa alton OF feeling that he is
being robbed for the benefit of his
countrymen, for the bulk OF the
profits go to an English syndicate.
We give scheme OF robbery in a
nutshell. The Borax Trust quotes
wholesale borax in this country at
7 IA cents per pound. The same
Borax Trust sells the same borax
in London for 3 Ia cents a pound.
The benevolent Dingley tariff
forces the American consumer to
pay the Borax Trust 3 8 4 cents a
pound more than the price paid to
the same trust for the same pro-
duct in England.
Yet this is only one of hundreds
OF trusts protected" by the tariff.
But where on earth does the PRO
lection" OF the consumer come inP

Filipinos had struggled against Spain

The Smith d Cowan coal mine,
near Williamsburg, is now in fine
working shape and everything
points to a good winters run. AL
though the mine is not thoroughly
opened, still employment is afford
ed to about fifty men. The coal
vein is from four to five feet thick
and is easily mined. The machin-
cry that is used is capable of work
ing mine of greatly increased
putput, the cable being 1000 feet
long, but it will take many years
before the drift is driven that far.
The production is at present going
to Cripple Creek and Leadville
and some of it is being used by
the oil companies at their wells
here. But it looks as if the mine
may change hands, as outside cap
ital is becoming interested and it
is said that negotiations for sale
are being made.
