OF Trade.
BY every legitimate means within the
province of government and legislation,
we mean to stimulate the expansion of
trade and to open new markets. Great
est of all markets is China. Our ira la
there is growing by leaps and bounds.
Manila. the prize of the war, gives us in
estlmable advantages in developing that
trade. 1t is the cornerstone of our east
ern policy and the brilliant diplomacy OF
John Hay in securing from all nations a
guarantee of our treaty rights and of the
open door in China rests upon it. We
ask the American people whether they

scores of thousands there who are denied
voice in their own government" and who are
thus denied by Mr. Bryans own party support
ers?
When he turns to history for aid he is no
more fortunate than in the consideration OF con-
temporary affairs. Speaking of the acquisition
OF Louisiana, Florida, Texas and other lands
he declares that "the Constitution followed the
fiag into the new Territories" He would nave
avoided the suspicion of what lawyers term
'suggestio falsi" If he had stated at how long
an interval and under what conditions that
following was effected The intimation that 1t
was immediate is utterly untrue. Nor can we
regard NJ. BRYAN as convincing when he turns
from past and present and dips into the
future" If he promises, he shall be elected
President ne will call forthwith special ses-
sion of Congress- and will recommend that IL
make n specific declaration Of the Nations pur-
pose regarding the Philippines, the first item
thereof being Ito establish a stable form OF
government in the Philippine Islands, But
what earthly business have we TO do that If we
have no title to the islands and no right to gov
ern them? What business have we to impose a
government stable or unstable, upon the people
without their consent? To do so would be TO
belle the whole Bryanesque creed and argu-
ment. Unless he wished to stultify himself ut
terly. Mr. Bryan could do nothing but scuttle
incontnently out of the islands and leave them
70 their own favorite brand of anarchy.
1t will not do. This Nation is in no mood for
accepting candidates the strength of mere
apologies and assurances that they can do no
mischief since their hands are tied 1t is not to

any other question" so long as it is menaced
with a Organizing of its finances and an Alt
geldizing of its administration of Justice Here
are the paramount issues" which stand up big
and bold above all the apologies Mr. Bryan can
utter: I'VE demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of
"l6 to l. without waiting for the aid or consent
"of any other nation We object 70 gov

dangerous form Of oppression Those are the
issues put forward by Mr.. Bryan and his
friends and reafirmed by them at the Kansas
City Convention. They will not down for all his
apologies. They cannot be hidden behind any

CLOSE QUARTERS IN CHINA.

British commander in a desperate plight
once said to his men: "If we remain here, we
die; if we go forward. we die; if we go back,
1--WE die. Let us go forward and die' They
went forward and lived. The case Of the for
eigners in China to-day is pretty nearly parallel
with that. The Ministers at Pekng are threat
ened with death If they are abandoned by
our Government they die. And it is threatened
that if our Government goes to their relief they
will die. Since, then, they are doomed in any
case. it is the part Of wisdom and of valor to
press forward to their relief. That is the course
this Government and others are pursuing. There
is, we confidently believe, a good chance of its
proving successful
Beyond doubt the Ministers are in much peril.
Beyond doubt, too, the Chinese Government or
some Of its authoritative agents. must be
deemed guilty Of duplicity and devious ways
There seems to be scarcely any one in China
who can be depended upon. Friends of one day
are foes the next. Yesterdays Imperial and i'm
perative DEGREES are annulled to-day Last week
all cipher communication between the Min
listers and their governments was prohibited
This week it appears to be freely permitted A
few days ago it was possible to communicate
with Ii Hung Chang. Now the Chinese Govern
ment refuses to accept for delivery to him a
respectful and noffensive message from a dig
nlhed and authoritative source, thus holding
him, as it were. incommunicado from the world
Sheng Ia Jen the Director of Posts and Tele-
graphs is supposed to have full power over
lines of communication. Yet he is said to be in
peril, and to be desirous of foreign protection.
In such a maze of contradictions and falsi-
fications and treacheries there seems to be only
one thing TO do. That is to press forward ac-
cording to right and justice, as a mariner steers
through a fog according to his compass 1t is
a matter for profound thankfulness that all
through this season of doubt danger and
despair the United States Government has acted
upon q definite and steadfast policy, at once
bold and prudent, firm and concliatory. That
policy cannot now be changed. There are the
strongest reasons. indeed for it's maintenance.
Our Minister and his comrades are in peril at
Pekng. The attempt to rescue them may mean
their destruction. But without such an attempt
their destruction is certain. If they are TO perish
1T is better that they should do so in our attempt
to save them than in our cowardly abandon
ment of them to their fate. But we are not at
all convinced that the attempt to save them
will precipitate their destruction. If we stand
still go back they will surely die. II we go
forward they may live.
New-York tribune., 1900-08-09
Mr.. BPYAN'S APOLOGY.

II is an apology. That is the first salient
feature of the verbose and tedious preachment
put forth by the Demo-Populist candidate yes
terday at Indianapolis. His followers will call
il an arraignment Of imperialism" But that
note rings false and hollow. From first to last
fl is a labored effort TO exculpate himself and
his party from the cowardice of masking the
real issue Of the campaign, and TO foist into the
first place purely fictitious issue born of idle
dreams and nurtured on wanton falsehoods.
Four years ago in the speech which won him
the Democratic nomination for the Presidency,
Mr. Bryan declared Of the money question:
1T is the issue of 1910 over again" The plat
form on which he was nominated and on a full
reaffirmation of which he is now again can
didate. declared that "the money question is
paramount to all others" In his speech of ac-
ceptance he spoke Of the paramount question
of this campaign, the money question" And
finally. IN his formal letter of acceptance, he
declared that until the money question is fully
'and finally settled the American people will
mot consent 10 the consideration Of any other
important question" Well. the money ques
ton has not, in Mr.. Bryan's view. been settled
And yet Mr. Bryan devotes practically the
whole of his long speech Of acceptance to the
consideration Of another question Does he
really expect that the American people will
consent" TO It?
If we pass by this apologetic phase Of the
speech. which is n self-stultifying apology, what
remains is no more satisfactory or convincing.
There is an abundance Of the stale catchwords
and misapplied quotations with which anti
imperialist'' utterances have long teemed. We
suppose such will be heard TO the end OF the
chapter If any intelligent and fair minded
American citizen is capable Of being moved.
except 20 amusement and contempt, by talk
about our having armed our allies, the Fill
pinos" his mental processes would prove an in
terestng study 10 an alienist. Nor Is Mr.. Bryan
happier when he leaves "glittering generalities"
and discusses details. In apologizing for his
advocacy Of ratification Of the Treaty of Peace
with Spain he says that "the title OF Spain be-
ling extinct. We were at liberty TO deal with
1.-The Filipinos according to American prin-
"ciples." If the Spanish title was extinct. in
whom was the new title vested save In the
Power that had extinguished the old one? And
Yet Mr. Bryan. in this same speech, argues that
IL was impossible for us 10 acquire title 10 the
islands, Again. be sententiously declares that
"our whole history has been an encoura cement
mot only to the Filipinos. but TO all who are
denied a voice in their own government"
That is his apology for the aid and comfort he
and his friends have been giving 10 men In
wicked rebellion against the Government OF the
United States Has Mr.. Bryan never heard of
encouragement does he propose to give to the

THE UNITED STATES CREDITOR NATION

THE UNITED STATES A CREDITOR NATION.
The decision of the British Government to
allot half the war loan to this country does not
deserve the harsh criticism which 1t has evoked
from one or two London journals. Everybody
knows that a loan many times larger could
easily have been raised In England and no in
telligent person for a moment questions the
entire solvency of the British Government
Indeed. the fact that the loan was oversub-
scribed in this country within a few days of it's
announcement is conclusive evidence on that
point For the American fnanciers who applied
for a portion of it did so admittedly because
they considered it not merely profitable but pre-
eminently safe. The reason given for the allot-
ment by the Chancellor Of the Exchequer that
the dimnution of the reserve In the Bank of
England made it desirable to get a large guam
tity of gold from abroad is recognized as sound
by all English financers, and the unthinking
talk about England going on its knees to the
Yankees" will doubtless soon cease.
Nevertheless, 1t is entirely natural that Eng
lish pride should be somewhat hurt by this in
cident, showing 1t does that for the present
at least the United States, and not Great Brit
ain, is the creditor nation" Of the world For
many years the financial and commercial su-
premacy Of England has been regarded by
Englishmen as a fact no more to be questioned
than a law of nature, and an integral part of
the very constitution of things. Moreover this
supremacy was always adduced as proof that
England's financial and commercial methods
superior 10 those of other nations, and that
her Government gave better promise of justice
and stability. The discovery that this COM
placent view must be revised cannot fail TO be
a rude shock to the average Englishman, espe-
cially it comes at a time when the nation is
waging an enormously costly war, in which it
has reaped no glory, and, TO say the least, has
lost prestige as a military Power. But the sit
uation, unpalatabl as it is must be recognized
and we doubt not its recognition will In time
nerve the English people to strive anew for the
position OF dominance which they held so long
But it seems TO us that Mr. Bryan ought to
be embarrassed even more than the English
people by this recognition of the United States
New-York tribune., 1900-08-09

or in decency keep silent about. Was indiscrim-
mate shooting of harmless old women whole
some discipline? Is burning an innocent man
at the stake or shooting a woman and her baby
as she fees from the burning house of her hus-
band who is receiving discipline more Of that
wholesome discipline? We do not refer TO the
ynching of negroes who have committed crimes
which the whites thought 1t necessary to punish
quickly and terribly but speak simply OF the
we'll authenticated murders by white mobs or
negroes whose only crime was that they fell IN

and ready to shed innocent blood If guilty was
not to be found. Such cases are not our inven-

uuency. Ought we to sympathze with that sort
of discipline" and say that it is all right and
helps keep the negro in his place?
The negro problem is a great one and we do
not mean to assume any superiority in dealing
with it. We mean TO sympa thize with any fair
minded effort in the South to lift up its mass of
ignorant people, to teach them to be more in
dustrious, more orderly, more moral. Mistakes
were made in reconstruction days. Enfranchise-
ment was urged by democratic theory and by
the seeming necessity of giving the blacks the
means to maintain their freedom. We do not
wonder at Southern feeling on the subject The
negro problem belongs to the North well as
the South. and we have no disposition to be
hypercritical or obstructive. But we do not see
why Southern newspapers should get angry
when in the interest of our common country we
urge that lawlessness cannot safely be endured
in any country. 1t is not in hate but in friend
illness TO the white people. that we ask them to
overcome the natural impulse to discipline the
negro by lawlessness and terror, and consider
the welfare of their own race. which is more
and more being infected by the lynching poison.
The fact that we are far away from the scene
of disorder perhaps enables us to comprehend
the danger better than those close at hand,
who are subject to the passion of the moment.
