The Blight of Imperialism.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Born of the greed of the syndicates, this
un-American policy has already started the
Government on a career of oppression and
disagreement of weaker peoples appalling
in its significance of continued and ever
increasing sin against the rights and liber-
ties of others. 1t carries in its train the
certain danger of militarism, of endless
complications with European Powers, of
the sure decay of the true American spirit,
of carpet bag corruption, of heavy taxation
at home and of shameful looting abroad
Imperialism has no feature in all its incl
dental developments that may be viewed by
Americans with anything but horror and
dread
Many Republicans of note, and many
more not so distinguished, have been COM
PEELED to condemn the Presidents policy
of imperialism and to warn their party of
the perilous path upon which it has now
entered. The great mass of the American
people, there is now good reason to be-
lieve, are Enthusiastically terrified by MIR.
McKinleys Reputation of American prin-
ciples. To no American mind is the be-
lief possible that a protest against the policy
of Imperialism may be voiced with any hope
of good results within the ranks of the Re-
publican organization. That party must
now be fought as the party of empire.
The salvation of the Republic depends
upon the successful issue of this fioht

For Publication Only.
From the Boston Advertiser.

1t is generally admitted at Washington
that the antitrust law, which has Just
been passed almost unanimously by the
Federal House of Representatives, is to
be regarded as introduced rather for cam
paign purposes than as final act of legis-
lation. Perhaps some antitrust law will
be enacted at the next session of Congress.
but it will be different measure in many
ways. The bill was passed in order to be
mentioned in campaign speeches, and the
measure was rushed through so hurriedly
because everybody knew that it was not to
be considered too seriously. There is a
good deal of ''buncombe" in the present
bill, which prohibits a manufacturer or a
merchant from dealing in trust goods, under
penalty of State prison, while allowing
labor organization to do the same thing
without punishment. Good judges believe
the bill as it stands to be unconstitutional.

The important issue in the coming Pres
idential campaign will be imperialism
The Administration and its supporters in
tend that the Government of the Republic
shall rule over Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines; that this rule is to be practi-
cally absolute, any modification of abso-
lutism being favor granted to the people,
and not right appertaining to them; that
in respect of them Congress is not bound
to obey the Constitution, but may rule the
Hawaiians, the Porto Ricans and the Fill
pinos Independent of all restraints and lin
itations For example, under the imper-
ialistic theory of government, Congress may
deny to the dependencies the right of trial
by jury, or the rights of freedom Of speech
and of the press, as it has denied them the
right of uniform taxation which is pre-
scribed by the Constitution. The right Of
citizenship has already been denied to the
Porto Ricans, and, under the same system,
will be denied to the people Of the Philip
pines.
Subjects and dependents of an empire
are nevertheless its citizens, but citizenship
of the Republic carries certain constitu
tional rights, and the recognition Of citizen
ship necessarily implies that the people en-
joying it also enjoy the protection of the
Constitution. 1t is going to be impossible
to set up republican empire under the
fundamental law, which must, therefore,
be violated if our Government is to be not
only our servant, the servant Of democ-
racy, but also the irresponsible master over
other peoples Two sovereignties will then
exist side by side, in this country-the
sovereign people who, in their Constitution,
have set up government Of limited powers,
and a sovereign government which no one
will have established. This government
will, consequently, exercise double and an
tagonistic functions. In domestic affairs,
it will serve; in colonial affairs, it will rule.
If the exercise of its latter functions does
not react upon and gradually revolutionize
the former, we are about to see new
wonder of the world, a wonder as marvellous
and incomprehensible as would have been
the patriotic self-restraint of the Pretorians
after they had once tasted the joys of set
ting up and pulling down emperors. What
ever may be the merits Of this question,
however, it cannot be disputed that the
rule of home government over dependen
cies, or colonies, or possessions, whatever
they may be called, is the rule of empire,
and that the policy of those who advocate
such rule is the policy of Imperialism.
Therefore, the campaign issue is properly
called imperialism, and will continue to be
SO called with that frequently unerring in
siinct of the people to fix upon the right
name

Pennsylvania Troubles.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The people of Pennsylvania cannot COM
plain that their political conditions are not
entertaining and picturesque. The Di-
rector of Public Safety in Philadelphia is
charged with the attempt to blackmail
prominent citizen, an ex-member of the
Legislature has fed from the State to save
himself from punishment for completely in
ballot-box frauds, an ex-United States
District Attorney has been convicted of
bribery, election officers in Philadelphia
ward have been convicted Of fraud, a
criminal attempt has been made to impose
upon the Receiver of Taxes 20, 900 fraudu-
lent orders for tax receipts An attempt
has also been made to bride jury in the
United States Court. The State Agricul-
tural Department has been proven corrupt.
There has been a criminal leakage in the
State Printing Office. Several members
of the Shamokin Borough Council have
been convicted of bribery, and proceedings
are about to begin against number of
Scranton Councilmen on similar charge,
and the Lancaster County Treasurer has
run away with $50, 1000 of the peoples
money.

A Soldiers Message.

From the Baltimore American of Monday
Justice Goldman, of the Northwestern
Police Station, has received letter from
Sergeant Martin G. Shields, Company Fl,
Forty third Regiment, U. s. ", stationed
at Laguan, Samar, Philippine Islands, and
dated April 81, 1900. He says, in part:
"Tbe war here is not over yet by long
shot, and will never be over with only one
regiment to take care of an island like
Samar. We have been fighting ever since
we landed here, and out of one hundred
and five men that sailed from New York
ON the Meade we have but sixty-four left
twenty two killed, twelve wounded and
seven sick. We are all broke up and can
not stand the strain much longer. We
are in the center of circle Of insurgents
who are waiting for chance to jump into
US. The American soldiers on Samar
Island are in trap. If any person dear
to you should take notion to become
soldiers for the Philippines, for God S sake
stop them-talk them out of it. Give
them advice from one who has seen his
comrades fall by his side; who has seen
Filipinos cut his comrades up BY inches
and throw them to the alligators. -

The Odious Stamp Taxes.

How much longer are the people to be
stamp taxed for the sake of a surplus ?
How much longer is the ''war revenue
tax to be collected, when it is plainly APP
parent that such warfare as we happen to
have on hand does not require it.
Secretary Gage says the war taxes are
piling up surplus that will reach $40, :
900, 900 at the close of the present fiscal
year, and in all probability will be greatly
in excess of that amount And still the
Government fines the citizen:
When he sends telegram
When he draws a check.
When he becomes a member of cor
poration.
When he transfers his stock.
When he insures his life or his house.
When he assigns his insurance
When he makes a note to raise money
for the payment of other taxes.
When he buys money order.
When he executes lease.
When he sends paid telephone mes
sage.
When an indemnity bond is given.
When bill of exchange is drawn.
When the citizen executes an instru-
ment necessary in the sale of merchandise
on change.
When he ships goods by freight or ex-
press.
When he clears vessel and files mani
fest.
When he buys ticket to go abroad.
When he executes power of attorney.
When he buys proprietary medicines.
When he chews gum.
When he uses any perfume or his wife

When a note is protested.
When warehouse receipt is given.
When merchandise is entered at Gus

EX~MRYOR SOUhRELY
FOR REPUBLICANS.
Supreme Court Would NulIify
Any Imperialistic Ideas.
Every True Democrat Can Take No
Other Course Except to Vote the
Republican Ticket.

(By Abram S. Hewitt of New York, for
merly Mayor and Member of Congress)
The political situation at this time is
of very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. At
that time it seemed possible to maintain
a distinct Democratic organization, based
upon the fundamental principles enun-
ciated by Jefferson, and which had con-
tnued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con-
vention held at Kansas City has, how
ever, rendered all such expectations hope
less The party which calls itself Demo-
cratic is in reality Populistic, and based
upon doctrines which, if carried into ef-
feet, would produce political anarchy.
You ask whether 1 believe in the coin
age of silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1.
You might as well ask me whether l be-
lieved that an ounce should be made to
pass for pound in the ordinary transac-
tions of commerce. The ratio is a false
ratio. The value of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows, not 16 to /,

form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shall by law be made equal to one
dollar.
You ask me whether the present admin
| istration is liEely to establish an imperial
! istic form or government over this coun-
| try or in its new possessions.
| / answer that the Constitution of the
United States is too strongly intrenched
in the affections of the people to permit
| its possible violation by the administra-
tion, and that if such an attempt We're
made, the Supreme Court of the United
States will surely interpret the Constitu-
| tion in the spirit of its founders and for
the preservation of the constitutional gov
ernment, to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
You ask whether a Democrat, by voting
| for Mckinley and Roosevelt could be
| considered false to the interests of Dem
ocracy. L answer that l do not see how
| a Democrat who is true to the interests
of Democracy can in the present exigency
take any other course than to vote for
the Republican ticket. | propose myself
| so to vote, and do this because I am a
Democrat who feels that Organism and
| all that it stands for is Numerically op-
posed to the principles of the Democratic
party, as they We're enunciated by Jeffer-
son and as they have been construed by
all the great men who have led the DEM
ocratic party up to the time of the hold
ing of the unhappy convention of 1896,
| when the old organization was broken up.
1t is certainly a lesser evil to continue
| the government in the hands of the Re-
publican party for the next four years
than to encounter the perils which would
confront us in case Bryan and his follow
ers should have the opportunity of put
ting in practice the insane policy to
which they are committed.
