A REPUBLIC OR AN EMPlR
Republicans Have Abandoned the Princil
of Equality on American Soil.

New York, July lev. r. Hearst, presi-

To the Democratic CLUBS and Societies Of
the United States
The time has come whsn all democratic
organizations il this country and all pa
triotic bodies associated with them should
ratify the nomination Of William ]. Bryan
for president and Adlai e. Stevenson for
vice president and prepare to defend thu
independence against the corrupt and cor
rupting spirit OF Imperialism. This is no
ordinary year in American politloH.
Colonies have been established under the
American flag without the consent of the
American people and in defiance of their
influence. The unlawful and brutal policy
OF President Mckinley and his advisers,
involving the abandonment of the principle
OF equality on American soil, has been
confirmed by the republican party in It's
National convention.
The republican party. under its present
leadership. is attempting to commit Is
hitherto peaceful and just Nation to q
career OF imperialism and conquest. 1t
has trampled the Declaration of indie
psndence under foot. The republican
party is the promoter and agent of the
new and terrible trust system which
seeks to devour industrial competition and
remove every medium hostile to free in
situations.

eminent. This radical experimental
change in the order of National progress
threatens the existence of republican gov
eminent on the American continent. Sub
