PRIDE IN WALL STREET,


The Nsw York correspondent Of the
philadelphia Ledger says that the allot-
ment Of a large part Of the new British
bonds 10 the United States and the sue
cessful placing OF them on the market
in an incredibly short period ARE very
gratifying to the pride of Wall street"
Doubtless so-Wail street for several
years past has been very proud to assist
England and English finances in any way
possible. even 20 tho extent OF conform
ing our own money system to suit the
views and purposes OF Lombard street.
But this is a new and ambitious role
for Wall street, this loaning money to
the British government. Our syndicates
and Insurance companies not long slace
accommodated Mexico and Russia to some
OF our surplus money, but that was not
like Carving Goals TO Newcastle" To
come TO the financial assistance of John
Bull was indeed an experience OF which
Wall street ght be proud! This last
loan, too, is to enable England to meet
her expenses In hghting the Beers. As
an aid to the conduests OF Imperialism
and tho further enslavement OF liberty
loving people wall street would naturally
take even extra pride in forging to the
front. 1t does not matter that the bondI

is our good friend England that want
the money and Wall street would fee

New York World.
The indepeni dent press OF the country
coiucides with the view expressed by the
World yesterday that Mr. Bryans speech
of acceptance was 1.-The most logical, elo-
quent and convincing Of all his public ef-
forts. II is mastery presentation of
the paramount issue OF the campaign and
splendid evidence Of real intellectual
power 1t combines ardor without in
temperance, argument without abuse aud
fire without fanaticism. No greater po-
iitlcal speech has been delivered in this
country within the last decade.
Beginning at the beginning, MIR. Bryan
truly says that
Ii the Bacon resolution had been
adopted by the senate and carried out
by the president, either at the time OF
the ratification of the treaty or at any
| time afterward, 1t would nave taken
| the question Of Imperialism out OF
| politics nnd left the American people z
! free to deal with their domestic prob
| lens.
| The defeat of this resolution by the
casting vote of the vice president, and
| the practical abdication of congress In
| leaving the entire management OF this
most important question to the president,
was the beginning OF the policy of i'm
Iperialism. 1t substituted one vacilatins
mans judgment or caprice for the will OF
the American people.
Mr.. Bryan touches the most vital point
of the discussion in saying that
Those who would have this Nation
enter upon career of empire must
consider not only the effect of i'm
perialism on the Filipinos, but they
must also calculate its effect upon our
own Nation. We can not repudiate
the principle of self government IN
the Philippines without weakening
that principle here.
And he indicated with unerring finger
wherein this departure from our basic
principle has hurt the Republic. The Ma
ton is no longer free to express as here
tofore, Its sympathy with all those fight
ing for civil liberty" We speak of free
dim with bated breath. Not only So but
IF we have an imperial policy we must
have large standing army as It's natural
and necessary equipment" Thdt this Is
Intended by the republican leaders, says
Mr.. Bryan, lis not a mere matter OF con-
lecture, but matter of fact"
Concerning the status OF the Fihpnos,
Mr. Bryan cites with approval the dec
hration of the National platform that
they can not be citizens without en-.
dangerng our civilization, and can no
be subjects without endangerng our form

when the whole fight is the reol5llc
against imperialistic and centralizing ten
denotes. is simply to give the claim 10 TO
their professions OF democracy and pre-
sent themselves as apostate worshipers OF
the golden calf.
We can respect the honest republican

logical and ultimate conclusion. We can

THE CAESAR OF THE REPUBLIC

and the son is as bad as the father. Pro-
lection killed Blaine to kill off encreach-
Ing reciprocity. Both were killed, and
pan American commercial alliance died
with them. Protection lives and has
waxed and grown fat as protected trusts
The protected trusts dictated the Puerto
Rican tariff and will nominate Mckinley.
Protection in its new guse of protected
trusts has dictated prices, and dictated
prices have intimate relation with and
effect upon the value or purchasing power
of money.
These are some of the restraints upon
trade for class benefit which are charge
able to the republican policy which on the
one hand proclaims the gold standard
and on the other adds an enormous vol
ume to promises to pay. leaving it to the
banks to Issue or not issue as they see fit.
and these restraints are plainly seen in
present conditions. but will be more
marked in the not remote future il there
Is not a decided change. But why should
not conditions be of concern from other
points of view? We are supporting great
armies and building a great navy; CON
gress has squandered S700, O00, 600 of money
and where is the return if conquest is a
question of party and if it is a question
of humanity why do we rob the Cubans
and tax the Puerto Ricans without repre-
sentation and keep standing army in
the Philippines, where Germany and Eng
land take the bulk of the trade? Is the
government making money or souander-
ing 1T? Are human rights to be con-
served by exploitation of cheap labor In
China under the pretense, of securing a
market which does not exist?
~
Great Britain has destroyed her first
two republics, and the descendant of Lord
CORVALLIS is left at liberty to call on
President Mckinley to perfect the secret
treaty which allows of the conquest of the
philippines. We are aiming to make
money and we are reckless of liberty.

of government" A republic. he declares.
can have no subjects, Citing the repub-
lican promise TO secure to the Filipinos
1.-THE largest measure OF self government
consistent with their welfare and our
duties" Mr. Bryan cogently asks:
In what re Jpect does the position or
the republican party differ from the
position taken by. the English goyern-
nlent in 1776? DID not the English
government promise good govern
nent to the colonists? What king
ever promised had government to
his peoplei Did not the English gov
eminent promise that the colonlsts
should have the largest measure OF
Of self-goyernment consistent with
their welfare and English duties? Did
not the Spanish government promise
10 give the Cubsns the largest meas
IRE Of self-goyernmsnt consistent with
their welfare and Spanish duties?
~
There is no true answer to these ques-
lions that does not overthrow the repub-
lican position in regard to the Philip
pines. As MIR. Bryan tersely says.
rhe whole difference between mon
drchy and a republic may be summed
up in one sentence. In a monarchy
the king gives to the people what he
believes TO be u good government; in
republic the people secure for them
selves what they believe to be a good
government.
Meeting Mr.. McKinley's claim of q
duty" and Obligation" to hold tnt
islands. Mr.. Bryan pointedy says tnat
duty is not an argument. 1t Is a conclu-
sion" and must be decided upon wei
settled principles of right. Force car
defend "A right, but force has never yet
created a right" proclaims this eloquent
apostle of freedom. And he affirms that
If it was true. as declared in the
resolutions OF Intervention, that the
Cubans ARE and of right ought to be
free and independent" Language taken
from the Declaration of Independently
it is equally true that the Filiplnos
"are and of right ought to be free and
Independent"
AS to the obligation" alleged to have
been put upon us by our conquest o
Spain, Mr. Bryan replies:
First, that the highest obligation OF
this Nation is to be true to itself No
obligation to any particular nation, or
to all nations combined can require
the abandonment of our theory OF gov
eminent andsthe substitution OF doc
trines against which our whole Ma
tional life has been a protest. And
second, that our obligations to the
Filpinos who inhahit the islands are
greater than any obligation which we
can owe to foreigners who have a
temporary residence in the Philip
pines or desire to trade there.

AS TO CLARION.

The discussion which has been in pro-
gress for some weeks past over the ques-
tion Of the presence of Charlton in this
county is a matter In itself of very great
Importance to this section ana something
official and decisive should be done In the
premises.
Ii Charlton exists the fact should BE-
put beyond controversy and steps taken
to isolate it and STAMP it out. II At does
not exist the public should be assured of
it's absence and the unnecessary alarm

irreconcilable. 1t may just be possible
that both are too extreme-that while
the disease is certainly not prevalent, OF

il may have appeared in this county.
Certainly a question OF this character
ought to be easily settled. Investiga-
ton under official auspices by competent
inspectors should quickly determine
whether Charlton exists or not, or to wha

, case becomes current there is natur-
ally a disposition to see ii in every species
