vote for. Or the man who keeps the
little hardware store. Ask any of the
store keepers who are pinched by the
trust.
You will find that very few of them
intend to vote against Mr.. Bryan.
The small dealer who was driven out
of business by the gobbling trusts, or
who is so squeezed by the ra:2acious
monstrosities that he makes but a
scanty living will tell you that he is
going to vote against Mckinley.
Ask any of the men who have been
thrown out of employment by the
trusts whom they are going to vote for.
Ask any of the men who are aware
that they are being bled by the trusts
whom they are going to vote for.
They are going to vote for Bryan.
They will tell you that they are very
sorry that they voted for Mckinley
four years ago.
The extraordinary growth and bold
ness of the trusts during the past four
years ago will make those injured and
affected vote for relief. These gigantic
combinations have gulped up the small
dealer; thrown vast numbers of peo-
pie out of employment, and the ma
jority. of them are bleeding the people.

M,K1NLEY,s HYPOCRISY.
Has '|Liberated'' the Filipinos
and Others.

In his speech of acceptance of the re-
publican nomination for president Mr..
Mckinley spoke eloquently of the re-
cent achievement of his administration
liz the Philippines, resulting in the lib
Grafton of 100000 of the human fam
lily from the yoke of imperialism"
This would be noble thought for
liberty-loving Americans, were it
based on fact. 1t was for just such an
achievement that 600 of these lib
erty-loving Americans sprang to arms
in 1898 in response to the presidents
call for volunteers for the war with
Spain. That war was declared for the
express purpose of freeing Cubans.
1t made an irresistible appeal to all
sent to the world the grand spectacle
of a mighty republic rushing to the res
cue of little people oppressed by tyr
amy, and, having freed them, straight
way lifting them to national indie
pendence of their own.
Two years have passed since this
Humanitarian war for service in which
these 100000 liberty-loving Americans
were so proud to volunteer, was fought
and won. In these two years Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration has found time
and opportunity to do many things,
but it has found no time to free Cuba
1t has, instead, established. a carpet
bag government in Cuba which has de-
voted it's efforts to the looting of that
already sorely afflicted island. 1t has
used, and is still using, all it's influence
to bring about the annexation of Cuba
to the United States. 1t declared in
1898 that the Cuban people were then,

1t will be just as well to receive with
caution statements emanating from
republican headquarters to the effect
that Mr.. Hanna is having difficulty in
operating his celebrated skillet this
year. No one doubts that the trust
beneficiaries and protectees are thor
oughly swinish-that they are in
capable of gratitude to Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. Hanna's man. They wouldn' t
give up a cent from considerations of
gratitude. But they will disgorge for
their own protection Democratic vic
tory means trouble for the trusts and
woe for the tariff barons. 1t means
that the 1eeches who have fattened
upon the life blood of American in
dustry will be choked off. The leeches
know it. Mr.. Hanna, therefore, will
conduct his fat-frying in the usual
fashion. He may have more difficulty
this year than in 1896, but he will in
the end extract the needed fat from
the adipose tissue of the barons. The
.'slush fund.- will attain it's usual pro-
portions not because of the gratitude,
but because Of the fears, of the men
who have profited by McKinleyism.-

THEY WILL HELP BRYAN.
Business Men and Workfnemen Are
Going to Vote for the PeO-
pies Candidate.

Ask the drummer whom he will vote
for. A vast number of them have lost
their positions because of combinations
which permit of one travelling man do
ing the work of several
Mckinley prosperity has hurt him.
He will tell you that he voted for
Mckinley four years ago. He is going
to vote for Bryan this year
He can tell you why, too. He can
talk. The same brain and tongue that
make him a good drummer make him
a good Bryan worker
The drummer is not only going to
vote for Bryan. That is not his speed.
He is going to work for him. He is
scattered all through this big country
and he will come pretty near equaling
the Mckinley campaign orators in
number.
The drummer is going to be quite a
factor in the campaign this fall.
Ask the man who keeps the cigar
store whom he is going to vote for. He
voted for Mckinley last year.
He is going to vote for Bryan. He
has to buy his goods from the tobacco
trust. He can't make any money. The
trust gobbles the profit of the bust
ness.
The cigar stand is great place for
political discussion. Men congregate
| there and talk about men, conditions
| and issues. The keeper of the store
| is looked up to as man pretty well
posted. He has much influence in the
| discussions. His views of Bryan and
trusts are certain to set his friends
thinking.

and of right should be, free and in
dependent people. 1t says now that
they are not fit for freedom.
In Porto Rico there is an even more
shameful score charged up against Mr..
Mckinley and his imperial administra-
ton. The Porto Ricans welcomed with
open arms our army of invasion un-
der Gens Miles. They accepted with
implicit and pathetic faith that Off
GERS solemn pledge that they should
enjoy all the blessings of American
citizenship. They went around the
streets of their towns of Ponce, of
Guayama, of Arroyo, of Santa Ysabel,
with pride almost childli--e in it's in
genuousness, calling themselves
''Americanos They celebrated in
their churches and cathedrals the
signing of the peace protocol of
August IL, 1898, which placed them
under the sovereignty of the Ameri-
can flag. And in return we have de-
MED to them their constitutional
rights as American citizens and have
levied Infamous tribute upon them for
the further enrichment of our syndi-
Gates.
When the people of the Philippines
were fighting against the tyranny of
Spain we hailed their every victory
over the Spanish arms as a victory of
patriots enlisted in holy war for
freedom. We treated them as allies
in our operations against Manila, and
we profited by their military coopera-
ton with our forces at that time. But
tie moment the full temptation of
fered by the opportunity for the loot
ing of their country was realized by
us the Filipino soldiers ceased to be
patriots and became bandits, savage
| Malays, cannibal head-hunters. Later
| when the recognized fact of our de-
| termination to trick them out of the
| freedom they had won from Spain be
! came apparent to them and forced
| them to turn on us, we classed them
under the general name of rebels. II
was as rebels that we began killing
| them, and it is as rebels that we arr
| killing them to this day.
This is how President McKinley's
| administration has CELEBRATED" the
| Filipinos and the Porto Ricans and the
| Cabans This is how the republican
party of to-day maintains itself as the
emancipation party, mot of profes
sion, but of performance" as Mr.. Nc
Kinley expresses it. For shame, Mr.
| President, for shame! You would b<
amazed and appalled, if you knew how
your hypocrisy angers the American

ADJUSTMENTS.
Go AID LAUGH.

Ever so many people spent a merry
evening at the Opera House last night.
The merry makers were the members
OF AL Reeves big double company, and
chief OF all was Robert Van Osten. His
makeup was originally and irresistibly
funny, and his every appearance was
the occasion for laughter. Another
laugh-producer was Billy Wilson, one
of the ends with the cOlOred minstrel
troupe. His face is his fortune, sure
ly; and his ability to distort it is
amazing. The man has an enormous
mouth, which he twists into the most
grotesque shapes, and as a girl in the
audience last night put it," reminds
one of a hippopotamus." There was
plenty of clever dancing by both the
white and the cOlored cOntingents, and
the singing by the quartet Of the latter
section of the company was excellent.
The bright particular star is Miss Inez
Mecusker who is a favOrite in Will
mington, having appeared here as SOLO
list with Sousa's Band, as prima donna
with Miss Philadelphia, and late
with Van Osten's comedy company
She delighted the audience with her
singing last night and was repeatedly
encored, although she was so i'll that
she appeared with difficulty and al
serious risk Everybody last night
said the show was a good one, and as
they doubtless told their friends who
