H WANTS TO DESTROY
FALLtClES OF BRltNlSN
ABLY POINTED OFT
Democratic Platform Carved and

Dignity or Nationa.
Strength,

Of Mr. Bryan, concerning questions oi
national Importance. produces a hor3.
scope for the country that is voters
will be slow TO iuGorse at the polls IN
November.
Porto Rico would ei-ier De erected
into a Territory or turned adrift 20
shift for itself. with a pronounced lean
ing toward a policy Of abandonment
The Republicans are charged with er-
shaving and impCverish.ng the island
Notwithstanding the fact that this
years volume Of business there. buth
/ in imports and exports. is about 100 per
cent larger than It was last year
Cuba would be abandoned al once.
All officials, both civil and military.
would De withdrawn, and the Cubans
would be told 20 work out their own fu-
ture. Furthermore. this country would
/ have 70 trust 20 the honor and ability
/ Of government not yet created for re-
payment Of the money loaned and spent
for the benefit Of that island.
The mutually jealous tribes Of ,hc
Philippine archipelago would be given
a stable native government without ne
employment Of fierce. How this Is 10 be
done Is a detail too simple TO be ex-
planned. The foreign population would
look 20 the Fillp!nCs for protection.
[ The United States, without any rights
. on land. would use the navy 10 protect
the natives from European aggression
and would take their part in European
1 quarrels. II Is worth while 10 notice
also that when the Democracy is talk
ing about the Filirinos. II insists Tint
they should be treated as the CubaIs
are, and when speaking Of Cuba II ~
raigns the conduct Of the AGmiHts-ra-
tion in Cuba as being buTdsnsUms,
wrong and imperialistic.
/ II is demanded that the United
States take some formal action toward
stopping the war in South Africa. How
this is to be done is another unimpurT-
ant detail which the country is asked
TO leave 10 the wisdom Of the nm
whom Mr.. Bryan may select fur Score
tary Of State.
An army Of $4,000 or 7O.Oee men We
are told is entirely too large for 4 lit
tie nation Of 75,OC0.dOO. Less than On"
soldier for every Loco of inhabitants
is threat and menace TO the peIpsru-
/ ity Of free institutions. and we are told
. that an era Of militarism is threHtsn-
/ ed. The Democratic candidate would
protect the country from Internal dis
order and external aggression with
Bryan Soldiers Clubs.
/ The country is told with words uf
prophetic solemnitv that unless Br-un
is elected in November there win he
no more Fourths Of July, so it ran be
seen that the matter Is getting serious.
Then there Is 10 be good deal Of
wiping out all along the line. Trusts
and business cuIabinGtiuns are 10 he
wiped out; the DiHEiey tErlf IL 10 be
wiped out; the gold standard II 10 NE
wiped out; national hanks Hre 10 he
wiped out; injunction by the courts is
to be wiped out; and the party Of Lin
coin is TO he wiped out.
No encouragement is 10 he given n
/ foreign trade. But the cheap products
of Europe and Asia, made by cheap Ii
Dor. are to come into Cur markets un
der a tariff for revenue only, nut mo
lection, and they will destroy our
home industries and make American
labor as idle rs II WIS under the Demo
cratic administration of PTesidsu'
Cleveland.
These are some OF the serious
changes promised by the Tri-partitt
candidate for the Presidency.
The Republican party Is the party n
Lincoln and Grant, whose work in their
respective spheres saved rspuhlicanisn
not alone in America, but for al ths
world. The Rebellion was the crucia
test of the ability Of L sef-gUverIinf
nation 10 stand the strain uf inferno,
cine strife. The cost nf sHvinE Ih'
Union was fearful. The land WIS fil
locked with graves, the blood uf M
roes fattened a hundred bHttlefields
the nation was exhausted, bun the tlal
was not furled, and NOT a single sta
was lost from its azure field. The ~
suit, however, was worth al II cost.
II was a struggle fu- integrity nj en-
, pire, and yet IL was a struggle REaiuE
, Imperialism. The triumph OF -h'
+ North made homes across the sea rocl
. on their old foundations, and some IN
/ deed, have fallen, while those which
sin remain have OILY been able to IN
