A Boycott in Retaliation,

The national organization of Demo-
cratic clubs has struck upon happy.
and what will doubtless be an effective
way, OF dealing with those corporations
who claim to have received intima.
tions from their customers that future
patronage will depend upon the cleo
tion OF Mckinley. They propose to
boycott the firms and corporations
who endcavor to intimidate by threats
their employees and compel them to
vote the imperialistic ticket.
The proposition came from National
Committeeman, d. ]. Campau, of
Michigan, and the alternative is de-
signed simply to meet and combat the
threats of employers made to coerce
their workmen. 1t is to fight the devil
with fire, the most effective weapon
yet devised for subjugation of His Sa-
tanic Majesty's emissaries on earth
The plan is TO issue an address to the
Democracy of the United States, over
the signatures OF the Nationa. Com
mitteemen, requesting all Democrats
to refuse to accord a single dollar of
patronage 10 the firms and corpora
tions using such illegitimate, auto.
cratic and contemplate means for in
huencing their fellow men TO subordi-
nate their consciousness of right to
temporary self-interest. A list of the
trusts who have inaugurated and en-
tered into this unhallowed agreement,
is to be furnished through the Demo.
cratic organizations - National and
State-snd it is expected that the
county and precinct committees will
enter into the spirit of downing this
damna5le conspiracy to dominate the
will of the American citizen.
The alternative is justifiable as re-
taliatory measure, for the inception
and inauguration of this method of
forcing seeming expression of public
sentiment is wholly due to the Repub-
can leaders, and is a part of the pro-
gramme for carrying the general elec-
ton at any cost of honor, manhood
and money.

MORE VANDALISM OF THE TELEPHONE
COMPANIES. - Telephone line men
precipitated riot in Newark, Ohio, a
few days ago, by hacking off the foliage
of the city's shade trees to afford a
free passage way for the company's
wires. Threats, prayers and injunc-
tions failing, the people took the mat
ter into their own hands, and after a
desperate struggle succeeded in jailing
the telephone men. This was followed
by cutting down the poles used by the
company in the city. The trespassers
were released on bail to answer for
destruction of property. Two were
held for attempted murder.

A Sample Lie Refuted.

One Lloyd Jones, seeking notoriety,
furnished the Chicago Tribune a state
ment which has been reprinted by the
Hanna bureau and copied extensively
by the Mckinley organs, in which Mr..
Bryan is accueed Of making false quo
tations in his Indianapolis speech.
Mr.. Jones says:
Among those to whom Bryan gave
the credit for utterances purely his own
were Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster,
Thomas Jefferson and even the Script
ures."
Then Mr.. Jones goes on to specify
as follows:
"In defending his advocacy of ratify-
ing the treaty with Spain, he (Bryan)
quotes Lincoln as saying: Can aliens
make treaties easier than friends can
make laws?"
Lincoln never said this at all. The
language is that of Napoleon Bonaparte
after the battle of Marengo, the greatest
imperialist who ever lived since the days
of Caesar and Alexander"
Mr.. Jones either does not know
what he pretends to know or is de.
iberate liar. He is either ignorantly
or naliciously trying to misrepresent,
slander and injure man who,is the
soul of honor and whose truthfulness,
sincerity and honesty, in words and in
deeds, are known and recognized
throughout the world, and thereby to
destroy the hopes and interests Of the
millions of people he represents.
In the instance quoted, Jones simply
lied, and when a witness is shown to
have made a false statement deliber-
ately all of his statements are un-
worthy of belief and it is unnecessary
to examine further discredited wit
ness. Mr.. Bryan's word is good
against man who tries to iEjure him
by publishing gross falsehood, as
Jones has done, and as those are doing
who circulate and approve his false
hood. In the messages and Papers
Of the Presidents" by Richardson,
published by authority of Congress,
Volume 6, page 10, may be found, in
Lincoln's first inaugural address, de-
livered March 4, 1861, the quotation,
precisely as used by Mr.. Bryan, and
which Mr.. Jones says was never ut
tered by Lincoln at all, but by Napol-
aon Bonaparte, "the greatest imper-
ialist who ever lived"
Here is an extract from the appeal
by Mr.. Lincoln, for the South to re-
main in the Union, and the expression
accredited to him by Mr.. Bryan will
be found verbatim, as quoted by Mr..
Bryan:
Physically speaking, we cannot sep
arate. We cannot remove our respec-
tive sections from each other nor build
an impossible wall between them. A
husband and wife may be divorced and
90 out of the presence and beyond the
reach of each other, but the different
parts of our country cannot do this.
They cannot but remain face to face,
and intercourse, either amicable or hos
tile, must continue between them. Is ii
possible then, to make that intercourse
more advantageous or more satisfactory
after separation than befores Can
aliens make treaties easier than friends
can make laus? Can treaties be more
faithfully enforced than laws can among
friends! Suppose you 60 to war, you
cannot fight always; and when after
much loss on both sides and no gain on
either, you cease fighting, the identical
old questions, as to terms OF intercourse
are again upon you"

NOTE these facts: Secretary Long
rejected all the armor-makers' bids as
being extortionate. Senator Penrose
and sCarnegie's manager called on
President Mckinley. Carnegie came

his rejection OF the armor bids. Isn't
there logical sequence in this train
of events? Is it not plain that the
armor trust agreed to undergo the Or
deal of the try-kettle?

ONE of the best speeches made in
behalf of the Republican cause, was
that of Ed. B. Stevens, Saturday
night. The lad appeared to be quite
as much at his ease as some of the So
called big.guns who have preceded
him his enunciation was much more
distinct than that of many; his asser-
tions quite as truthful and his logic
quite az clear. 1t is pity, however,
to make an Atlas of the young man at
the threshold of manhood and compel
him to rear aloft the ponderous globe
representing the sins of corruption
and imperialism.

After it was over Chairman o. C.
White, doubtless in view OF the me-
chanical aud spiritless character Of
the applause so far given, remarked
that he hadn't heard real good cheer
for long time, and called for three

The crowd, thus reminded of the pro-
prieties OF the occasion, responded in
pe-fuuctory way, and the meeting

He made a vehement attack upon
the prime patriot OF the islands and
real copious extracts from the Repub-
lican campaign book to substsntiate
his statements. The extracts read,
sounded singularly like the things the
English tories used to write about
that arbitrator, George Washington,
something over q century ago. He
made Mr.. Aguinaldo out to be any
thing but a gentleman and scholar,
and we feel sure that Mr.. A. will be
greatly panied when he hears about it.
The truth as set down in Senate Doc
uments relative to the situation at
Manila did not hamper the speaker in
the least, for he declared that the city
was captured by the American forces,
the Filipinos taking no part and CIV
ing no assistance whatever.
We have Mr.. Humphries' word for
it that the last recorded utterance OF
Aguinsldo was very brief but pointed
prayer for Democratic success in this
campaign. These last reported words
of the Filipino leader were read from
the Republican campaign book.
Clearly they must have been immedi-
ately cabled to Hanna, doubtless in
the belief that he might be a little
short on prayers.

But the Visions do not square with
the American charter of liberty.
Many people fear that these visions
are mere hallucinations, such as often
accompany an abnormally high tenn.
perature. The fevered blood surges to
the head and infiames the brain. The
things that man sees and says in
such condition are not likely to be
reliable.
The greed for gold is working like a
fever in the blood of the American
Jingo. His brain is infamed. He
sees a vision and such an alluring
vision-the vision of Empire. He
calls to us to leave everything and fol-
low him in the pursuit of the phan-
tom of the regal robe.
"Ah! but what about the Declara-
tion of Independence" says the Anti.
ave can never carry its mighty
truths over the threshold of the en-
pire which you think you see."
"Leave the Declaration of Inde-
pendence," answers the Jingo; "By
the new light of my vision perceive
that it is obsolete"
"But what about the Constitution,
the great rough-hewn corner stone OF
our governmental fabric?"
"Never mind the Constitution,
calls back the Jingo; "It is cumbers
some and inelastic and we will be bet
ter off without it. Let us leave every
thing that will prevent our seizing
the beautiful Empire before the vision
fades away"
The Anti hates to do it, but it is
the plain duty of the hour. This sick
brother must be tenderly bound hand
and foot, lest he wander away from
his safe home in pursuit OF. the fever
painted picture of Empire and perish
in the wilderness or the bog. Having
bound him securely, we will lay him
gently upon a comfortable couch for
about four years. We will then sub.
NIT his case to DR.. Bryan. the great

all the land. His normal and natural
desire for gold will be satisfied by

he may be cured. Let us hope so. In
the meantime, bind him for he is dam
gerous to himself and the family's
safety and peace.

After a review of Democratic policy
in times past in relation to the annex
alton of contiguous and unpeopled
territory, which by the way they
always governed under the coustitu-
ticn as we'll as under the flag, he
launched into a melodramatic recital
of the history of the late war with
Spain. He closed this feature by de-
scribing Admiral Dewey standing upon
the smoking, battle-strewn deck OF the
Olympia, gazing upon the fair city
queen of the archipelago that lay
PROSTATE at his feet and saying-"A
higher power than mine is in the
business-These islands are ours and
ours forever"
Like the cherry tree lie that George
Washington never said he couldn't tell
and the "little more grape" that Capt
Bragg was never requested to let fly
this classic and timely utterance ol
Admiral Dewey's is likely to go into
history as one of those charming side
lights that help to reveal the great
characters of great men. And such
things have gotten into history upon
the mere word OF mouth of less won.

An exceedingly we'll groomed and
aristocratic looking young man is Mr..
Humphries, the present corporation
counsel of the city OF Seattle! He
had an air of prosperity" not out of
keeping in one who has been so ex.
ceptionally successful as an Office
seeker. He appeared to be very we'll
content with most things in the world
and especially with himself. Having
struck an attitude he felt sure to be
graceful and found his oratorical pitch,
he began by saying that the para
mount issue WAS imperialism. He
rather startled the audience by defin.
ing imperialism in these very words,
"Defned it is just this-shall we per-
nit Aguinaldo to drive the flag of this
country out OF the Philippine is-
lands?" Naturally starting out with
that definition of imperialism there
was no telling where he was likely to
bring up.
