The Filipino Situation in a
Nutshell.

Andrew Carnegie Is hardheaded
Scotchman. He il essentially logic
ian. BY hard work and study he has
made his way In the world. His clear
and practical mind riddles the problem
Of AsIatic expansion in these few
words:
"Let the president take either
horn of the dilemma and his policy
Of what he himself has called
criminal oppression. fails. Let
him open the door to the world,
and he antagonizes American labor.
Let him consider the Philippines
part Of the United States and there
fore entitled under the constitu-
ton to free trade with. as part of
the United States, and Its door
closed except through the high
tariff to all other nations, and he
antagonizes the whole of Europe
and has war upon his hands to
certainty-this time no weak Spain
to deal with. but the Overwhelming
naval power of Europe"
The name of Carnegie may not look
good to workingmen, but he is by all
odds a better American and closer
student of affairs than the average
leader Of the Republican party. from

Word. Of Senate r Hoar.

II matters not where Senator HOar
now stands. He Inns sacrificed his
manhood. his principles, for party.
These words, however, came fresh
from his heart when he was a patriot
before n partisan. and he cannot now
gainsay them:
IF we had dealt with the Fill
pinos M we should have done, we
should have had no war. We
should have had no loss OF life.
We should have had no large ex-
pendIture OF money. We should not
have trampled on the doctrines

founded. We should not have III
Cured the undying hatred Of the
people of the Philippines. We
should have received from their
gratitude everything in the way of

tage of military or naval station
that their gratitude could bestow.
We should have the glory-of
which the glory of no other country
in history could be compnred-of
being the great ilberator in both
hemispheres."
No man true to himself could utter
these sentiments and then fall into
line with the powers instrumental IN
bringing about the un-American stare
of affairs. 80 graphically pictured. In

The chances of carrying Colorado
for Mckinley this year were hardly
worth considering at best, and they
have practically disappeared with the
complete fusion of the Democratic,
Populist and Silver Republican fac
tons in TINT state. Senator Wolcott,
whose eloquent and forcible speech as
temporary chairman of the Philadel-
phia convention aroused admiration.
Will doubtless make n plucky fight for
the Republican ticket, but the odds
against him are apparently too great
to be overcome. In 1896 Colorado gave
Bryan 1G1, 153 votes to 2G,271 ballots
cast for Mckinley. and the majority
by which the fusion forces won the
day In the state election of 1898 was
about 1900. These figures indicate
that the Colorado Republicans have re-
gained much of the ground they have
lost. but they also show that the four
electoral votes of the state are virtu-
ally certain to be cast again for Bryan,

government at defiance. The issuing
power should be taken from the banks
and restored to the government and

denounce the currency bill enacted at
the last session of Congress as a'step
forward in the Republican policy
which aims to discredit the sovereign
right of the national government to
issue all money, whether coin or paper,
and to bestow upon national banks the
power to Issue and control the volume
of paper money for their own benefit.

THE MONEY TRUST.

Do you want to see the whole power
of issuing paper money in the United
States given to national banks7 That
Is the plain purpose of the Republican
party. Its leaders declare that the
government must go out Of the bank
ing business. In other words, they
desire to place the absolute control Of
the volume of the money supplied in
the hands OF bankers, to be increased
or decreased ms their private interests
may incline them. The currency act
passed by Republican majority in
Congress Is long stride toward this
favorlte scheme of the banking trust.
National bank paper money rests
upon the government debt. represent
ed by bonds. The banker draws In
terest on his bonds and. besides, has
his money to lend at interest. He
draws both from the government and
from the people on the same money at
the same time. -
Is this dishonest system to be ex-
tended? Is 1t safe to intrust such
power to men to be used for their pri-
vate profit?
SMALL BANKS, LIKE SMALL
DEALERS, ARE DISAPPEARING. (
The independence of small banks
and bankers is disappearing. A few
great banks practically control the
rest. These giant institutions are
owned by industrial combinations like
the Standard Oil trust, the sugar trust,
the steel trust, the beef trust. Do
you realize what 1t means to take
from the government its legitimate
work of issuing legal tender paper
money md substitute for that money
the private notes without legal ten

trusts?
