The Republicans are beginning to real
ize that the opposition OF our German
voters to Imperialism is not a mere
passing within, but is based upon principle,
which will cause many thousand votes
cist for Mckinley in 1896 to be cast tor
Bryan and Stevenson this year. DR.. L
w. Hsbercom, who was head of the Ger
man Literary Bureau of the Republican
National Committee, during the last cam
paign and who is now supporting the
Democratic ticket, has made public a
statement of his reasons for abandoning
the Republican party, from which this is
quoted Expansion of the Union on tho
American continent is proper. Expansion
not of the Union, but by the acquisition
Of possession which are to be governed as
dependencies, subject only to the will and
caprice of our Executive and Congress,
unrestricted by the Constitution, and with
out the consent and against the wishes OF
the people to be governed, who thereby
become subjects, is in my opinion, i'm
proper, unjust, and unrepublican the
government of the United States is there
By transformed into an imperial govern
ment for our possessions A government
with imperial power over possessions can
not long remain Republican at home. As
the government could not have lived halt
slave and half free, so it cannot live bali
imperialist and half Republican. The
foreign policy adopted by the Republican
party embroils us in all the guarrels of the
world, and entangles us in foreign alliances.
1t has already entangled us in one-an
unwritten alliance with Great Britain.
Since British diplomacy succeeded in
persuading our administration and our
Peace Commissioners to force Spain to
cede to US the quickly withdrawing shadow
of its already expelled sovereignty over
the Philippines, we have been compelled
to go hand IN hand with England. The
Republican party now stands for the i'm
perialistic expansion, and is already busy
cultiyating the spirit of militaryism. The
Democratic party has earnestly, clearly ana
forcibly pronounced against imperialism
and its resultant evils, for lis preservation
of the republic and the constitution. The
issue is thus made up, and consider it my
plain duty to.help maintain the republic by
such efforts as l can make, humble though
they are.n

American Expansion VS.. British
Imperialism

Thomas Jefferson, the great, true, peace
fol American Expansionist, the author of
the Declaration of Independence, entered
an eternal rebuke of both militarism and
imperialism when. be wrote these words
"If there be one principle more deeply
written than any other in the mind of every
American tits that we should have nothing
to do with conquest
"The Constitution has made no provision
for our holding foreign territory, still less
for incorporating foreign nations into our
Union.
And in the year of Jefferson's death
ION the 5Oth anniversary of the Declaration
Daniel Webster, then the recognized ex-
FOUNDER of the American Constitution,
made these unanswered and unanswera5le
utteranees in Congress-
"By negotiation with foreign power MI.
Jefferson obtained province. Without
any alteration of our Constitution we have
made it part of the United States, and
its Senators and Representatives now com
ing from several states here among us. Now
sir, if instead of being Louisiana this had
been one of the provinces of Spain proper,
or one of her South American colonies, he
must have been mailman that should
have proposed such an acquisition. A high
conviction of its convenience, arising from
proximity and from close natural connec
tions, alone reconciled the country to the
measure"
Arbitrary governments may have terri
tories and distant possessions, because
arbitrary governments may rule them by
different laws and different systems. We
can do no such thing. They must be of
us, part of us OF else strangers
Were Webster alive to see a Constitution
sworn American President proposing to
extend perpetual military empire even into
Asia, under the flag of the Republic would
he take back those clear, true words Of his?
Would he support the party that would
degrade the proud old independent Repub-
lie into a servile side-partnership with
British Imperialism for the purpose Of
spoils for party and the enrichment of a
favored few? To even think that question
ia to answer it.

If the Republican party is not in favol
of coinage at this ratio of 16 to I if the
i.sound money! men of the country are
not in favor of the coinage of silver dollars
at this ratio of is to l. why is done by
their representatives, Mr. Mckinley and
Mr.. Gage? Why has no objection been
made by them, why is this wholesale coiD-
age of silver dollars at l6 to 1 Landed by
them as Sound" finance, and why are
these 50.cent silver dollars called "sound
money!"
What honest objection can Republican
or Sound money" man have to the ratio of
Is to 1? It is his own ratio. 1t is the one
he believes in and uses. Not one Repub-
Iican or Sound money" man lives who has
ever proposed any change in this ratio of 6
to 1, which has stood the test of years, and
which cannot be changed without destroy
ing the financial system of all countries.
Nor does one live who has objected to coin
age at this ratio, provided he could do the
coinage and reap the prosperity" that
followed.
Has Mr. Mckinley coined 41,179 ,5S5
silver dollars at 16 to for any other pur-
pose than to increase our prosperity" Has
Nj. Mckinley worked of on the people, OF
put in circulation. !" in the first three years,
1904 ,s14 more of these "silver bricks,
than he found in circulation in 1897 in
order to cheat the people, or to get the
credit for the prosperity" they aided in
securing?
The Republican and Sound money
objection to the Democratic adoption OF
their own ratio of Is to l is purely parti-
san If the Democrats had selected any
other ratio than that dictated by common
sense, the Republicans could have held
them up to ridicule, fought a winning
fight for their own correct ratio of Is to /
and diverted attention from the point at
issue, which is question of coinage, not a
question of ratio.
The Republican party and "sound
money" men have coined 4S7, 4s7 ,976 silver
dollars at Is to l which are irredeemable
legal tenders for all debts Except to bond
holders) and money OF final redemption.
1t has been fiat coinage of fat money
worth only so per cent. of its face.
To raise yell over the ratio in order to
divert attention from the manner of coin
age may be very good politics, but is not
honest, or even decent 1t is perfectly safe
to class the man who ohjec to 16 to as a
knaYe or fool. He must be one or the
other. The wise man will let him alone.

Gold Democrat for Bryan.

Dir. John E. Clark, of Cleveland, O.,
who reDudiated Bryan four years ago, and
Joined the Gold Democrats, will vote for
the Democratic nominee this year because
he is opposed to imperialism.
Mr.. Clark is the general counsel of The
Nickel Plate RAILWAY Company and one of
the attorneys of the Erie system.
In 1896 he was nominated for Supreme
Court Judge by the Gold Democrats of
Ohio and he declined their nomination for
Governor the following year.
In an interview he says:
Even if free silver were a question Of
practical Importance and likely to follow
upon the election of Nr. Bryan, I should
nevertheless vote the Democrat ticket tbi Z
year-this because prefer even a free sill
yer republic to gold standard empire"

vided for Porto Rico by the Republicans is

Clark, "mean large standing army and

the street Or at his desk.
Another consideration that weighed
much with many sound money Democrats
four years ago was the attitude of the
Chicago platform toward the United State,
courts Bat the Federal courts could moi
possibly receive greater injury and dis
credit from Mr.. Bryan than they have
received from Mr. Mckinley. His appoint

Record The Democrats have in Henry
U. johnson, of Indiana, another recruit
from the Republican party. In the Fifty
fifth Congress Mr. johnson, with superior
political ssgacity, penetrated the Imperial
list designs of the Administration and
elOquently denounced them on the floor
of the House. Since his retirement from
Congress because of his strong political
convictions he has devoted himself TO the
law, in which be has an extensive practice.
In Indiana he will prove an effective
campaigner for Bryan

Republicans who are deserting the Mac

What Business Have Mr.. Mckinley
and the Republican Party in Gilman

IL
| OF all the foreign entanglemeDts WHICH Wash
ington in his farewell address so earnestly
warned his countrymen to avoid, that which
might come from our mixing in this Chinese
business would be the worst. the most periious.
It would be an ENHANCEMENT. not with one for
eign Power alone. but with all of them, with
consequences TO the welfare and destiny of the
nation which it would be hard to oyerestimate
or exaggerate.
What business has the United States in Asia
any way2 1t is not at war with China; it has no
interests in any Chinese scramble; there IS no
earthly reason why it should despatch a fleet or
an army to co operate with the allied forces, and
noAe why it should join a European concert to
control the Government and determine the fate
of the Celestial Empire.
To do so would be not only an open disregard
of Washington's solemn warning and the time
honored traditions of the Government. but also
plain violation of the Constitution, which ex-
pressly forbids the President to make war on
foreign people or TO send an army abroad with
out the formal sanction of Congress.
Our legitimate business and duty in this affair
are perfectly plain. 1t is simply to protect the
lives and property of American citizens, al
though some of them, notable meddlesome mis-
sionaries, have done much to brig trouble on
their own heads We must, as the Tribune says.
rescue our Minister from danger in Pekin, but
with this done, and protection secured for
American life and property. our active part in
the affair ends. If we have any future role it Is
to act as mediator or arbitrator in the interests
of peace and civilization. We entirely agree
with our Baltimore contemporary the Sun that
our ships and men should not be used in the
interest Of any European Power, neither should
we undertake to pull any other nations chest
nuts out Of the fire that is raging in the Chinese
Empire"
/ The fact is that the ambitious course of the
Government is but another illustration of the
