President Mckinley, in his letter
OF acceptance, insists there was no al
lance with Aguinaldo by any of the
American army or naval officers, but
he does not tell how Dewey brought
Aguinaldo to the Philippine islands in
an American war vessel, and armed
him and his followers, and co-operated
with them. Nor does he mention the
fact that in June, 1898, Agunaldo pro-
claimed the Philippine republic and
raised its flag, and Mckinley never
protested until the following Decem-
ber. Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
has shown that the treaty with Spain
would have failed of ratification had
not a promise to guarantee the ulti-
mate independence of the Philippines
been made, only to be broken as soon
as the treaty was ratified. Mckinley
says the Flipinos began the conflict,
but fails to quote Gen. Otis, showing
how the fighting was begun by the
Americans, and how he rejected Agui-
naldo's plea for suspension of hos
tilities and insisted upon war to its
end. He claims the largest portion
of the Filipinos "are loyal to u.s." but
he neglects the fact that nowhere out
Of the sight of the American lines in

M M'KINLEY'S LETTER.
The President Invents New Phrase,
But His Letter Has No
Other Merit.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal
President McKinley's letter of ac-
ceptance resembles a folding bed with
a piano front. When you look at it
first you think it is a financial argu-
ment, but when you let it down you
hnd that it it an apology for imperial
ism.
The Republican party has maintain
ed that the silver question is the su-
preme issue of the campaign. The
president has kept up that profession.
Therefore, he begins his letter with a
disquisition on finance. But he re-
alizes that it would be ruinous to sit
in corner soliquizlng about one topic
while the people were thinking and
talking about another, and, therefore,
after gliding lightly among a number
of other issues, he settles down upon
the subject of Imperialism, and dilates
upon it to the extent of 10000 words.
Mr. Mckinley is entitled to the credit
OF inYenting a new phrase. He does
not venture to say that the silver ques-
'ioh 10 Tie Clllel ISSUE DeIOre Lne poO-
pie, but he remarks: "If another is
sue is paramount, this is immediate"
He does not show, however, why it is
immediate. He does not show that a
Democratic congress would pass free
coinage law or that a Democratic ad-
ministration could disturb the present
financial system. 1t is true that he
furnishes one more contribution to the
exposure of the hypocrisy of Republi-
can financial legislation when he says
that it was so framed as to be effective
only so long as those who adhere to
this platform are kept in control of
the government" But his own secre-
tary of the treasury, in his sincere mo-
ments, could have told him that any
apprehension of financial danger from
Democratic success was purely fanci-
full.

the weary and footSore soldiers who
followed Gomez, and was loved and
obeyed by them as was no other woman

From the Springfield Mass,) Republican.
We can find in this letter of accept
ance no word indicating any change in
the policy of Mr.. McKinley's admins
tration to hold the Philippines, and hold
them forever, as subject colony of the
United States. The president makes
free use of the words "liberty" and
"self government" as the end of his
purposes respecting those islands, but
these words are plainly not used in
their full and accepted meaning 1t is
self government under absolute
American sovereignty which he plain
ly means. 1t is liberty" within lines
drawn by an absolute alien power
which he clearly has in mind. And
this is the liberty" of the vassal and
the slave-nothing more.

From the Baltimore Sun.

This may be Mr.. McKinley's idea of
freedom, but it is a monstrous doctrine
for the president of free republic to
promulgate. Mr. Mckinley has not
strengthened his party's position by
his letter of acceptance. He cannot
convince the American people by such
arguments as he arrays in this letter
that the dangers of Imperialism as
practiced by this administration are
less serious that they appear to be.

From the Philadelphia Record.

The prosperity of the country, the
treasury surplus, the favorable balance
of trade and all the favoring benefac-
tions of kind and gracious providence
are in turn woven into the presidents
narrative. The bad trusts are repro
bated and the good trusts mentioned.
The tariff is fitted with a halo of COM
mendation, and even reciprocity is
marshalled before the eyesight of the
nation as thing of loveliness.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-09-28

From the Harrisburg Star-Independent
Every man is right in claiming full
credit for what he has accomplished
and no one will complain because the
president is generous in praise of him
self. But bountiful providence had
something to do with the prosperity
which has prevailed during the last
three years and other influences, not
within the control of the administra-
tion, worked auspicious results. In view
of those facts the presidents pretense
that the administration is responsible
for all is foolish, if not false.
