peria,!sm would have been held re5pon-
sibe for any international complications
which might have arisen before the rat
idcation Of another treaty. But whatever
differences Of opinion may have existed
as to the best method of opposing the
colonial policy, there never was any diff
ference as to the great Importance OF the
question. and there is no difference now
as to the course to be pursued.
TIE title of Spain being extinguished,
we were at liberty to deal with the Fill
pinos according to American principles.
The Bacon resolution, introduced a
month before hcstilities broke out at
Manila, promised independence to the
Filipino3 on the same terms that it was
promised to the Cutans. l supported
This resolution and believe that its adop-
tion rrior 20 the breaking out of hostili-
ties would have prevented blCOdshed, and
that it's adoption at any subsequent time
would have ended hostilities.
If the treaty had been rejected, con-
siderable time would have necessarily
elapsed before a new treaty could have
been agreed upon and ratified, and dur
ing that time the question would have
been agitating the public mind. If the
Bacon resolution had been adopted by
the Senate and carried out by the Presi-
dent either at the time of the ratifica-
tion of the treaty or at any time after
wards, it would have taken the question
Of Imperialism cut of politics and left
the American people free to deal with
their domestic problems. But the reso-
luton was defeated by the vote CT the
Republican Vice President, and from
shat time to this a Republican Congress
has refused to take any action whatever
in the matter.
AN EVASION OF RESPONSIBILITY.
When hostilities broke out at Manila,
Republican speakers and Republican
editors at once sought to lay the blame
upon those who had delayed the ratif-
caticn of the treaty and during the prog
ress of the war, the same Republicans
have accused the opponents Of imperial
ism of giving encouragement to the Fill
pines This is a cowardly evasion of re-
sDOnsihility.
If it is right for the United States to
hold the Philippine Islands permanently
and initiate the European empires in the
government Of the colonies, the Republi-
can PARTY ought to state its position and
defend it, but it must expect the SUD
pject races to protest against such policy
and to resist to the extent Of their ability.

ClVlLlZlNG WITH THE SWORD AND
MAKING MERCHANDISE o. BLOOD
Mr.. Bryan Declares That He Favors Giving The
FiIipinos independence and Guarding
Them From Moestation From Other
Nations, as H Been Done
in Case Of the Cubans.

Mr. Chairman and Members of the
Notification Committee:
l shall, at an early day, and in a more
formal manner, accept the nomination
which you tender, and l shall at that
time discuss the various questions COW
cred by the Democratic platform 1t may
not be out of place. however, to submit
a few observations at this time upon the
general character of the contest before
us, and upon the question which is de-
clared to be of paramount Importance
in this campaign.
When l say that the contest of 1000 is
a contest between Democracy on the one
not mean to say that all our opponents
have deliberately chosen to give to or
ganized wealth a predominating influence
in the affairs CT the Government, but
do assert that on the important issue of
the day the Republican party is dominated
by those influences which constantly
leHu u elcNdlc peculiarly
and ignore human rights.
In 1859 Lincoln said that the Republi-
can party believed in the man and the
dollar, but that in case of conflict it be-
1loved in the man before the dollar. This
is the proper relation which should exist
between the two. Man, the handiwork
of God, comes first money, the handi-
work of men, is CT inferior Importance.
Man is the master, money the servant,
but upon all important questions today,
Republican legislation tends to make
money the master and man the servant.
The maxim of Jefferson, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none," and
be a Government "of the people, by the
people, and fer the people," are being
disregarded and the instrumentalities of
government are being used to advance
the interests of those who are in a posi-
tion to secure favors from the Govern
ment
POSITION OF THE TWO PARTIES.
The Democratic party is not making
war upon the honest acquisition of
wealth; it has no desire to discourage
industry. economy and thrift. On the
contrary, it gives to every citizen the
greatest possible stimulus to honest toll
when it promises him protection in the
enjoyment of the proceeds of his labor
Property rights are most secure when hu-
man rights are respected. Democracy
strives for a civilization in which every
member of society will share, according
to his merits.
No one has a right to expect from So
ciety more than fair compensation for
the service which he renders to society
If he secures more, it is at all expense
OF some one else. 1t is no injustice
to him to prevent his doing injustice to
another. To him who would, either
through class legislation or in the alb
sence of necessary legislation, trespass
upon the rights of another, the Demo-
cratic party says: Thou shalt not?'
Against us are arrayed a comparative
ly small, but politically and financially
powerful, number who really profit by
Republican policies, but with them are
associated large number who, because
of their attachment to the party name,

An indianapolis, Dec. 26 dispatch says:
A sensational kidnapping inv lying the
family of ex-United States Attorney
General Miller, occurred this afternoon
and led to a hot chase few minutes
later across the state to overtake the
wife Of Samuel d. Miller, son Of w. II.
Miller, who was supposed to be flying
to New York with her stolen son.
Samuel Miller and wife have lived in
New York for several years, and last
summer he came west to go inco his
fathers Office. His wife stayed in
New York. Last Friday she came
here to demand possession Of her
seven-year-old son, whom her father
had brought west with him and who
was living with him at the house Of
the grandfather, w H. Miller.
The husband and wife held consul
tation, and she agreed thatif the boy
was allowed to oe sent to her daily she
would not kidnap him.
This afternoon the nurse and boy
called on Mrs. Miller at the hotel.
Later Mrs. Miller said they would go
for drive, and they started in closed
carriage down towards the depot.
The German governess, suspecting
foul play. jumped out Of the carriage
while it was on run, run to tele-
phone and notified the father and
grandfather.
Mrs. Miller Immediately ordered the
carriage driven to Brightwood, and
when the two Millers arrived at the
union station there was no trace Of the
woman and boy.
Mrs. Miller was Helen Karcher, Of
Po.tstown, Pa, and Samuel Miller
met her nine years ago at Washing
ton, when his father was United States
attorney general. They were married
a1year later and the hoy is now seven
years old. aa
Last summer Mr.. Miller was offered
an opening in his fathers office and
came west. Mrs. Miller refused to
come and since that time has lived, in
New York. There has been no divorce
and Mr.. Miller has been sending her
