DEAR BOY" LETTkRS-No. 6
Ny Dear Boy:

Ny Dear Boy:
SO your employer, Mr.. Skinner, says
that ''The Filipinos ought to have their
liberty and United States soldiers ought
TO be in better business than making war
on an innocent people and strangling the
life out of a new republic"
Since Mr.. Skinner has put in a nutshell
the substance of Mr.. Bryan's speech, |
shall dispose of Mr. Bryan and the whole
anti-imperialist crew in answering Mr..
Skinner. | know that you have but little
time to read and shall use the fewest
words possible, as | shall endeavor to
give you a clear, intelligent view of the
situation over in our new possessions.
1. Our soldiers are not strangling the
life out of a new republic, for the very
good reason that there never was any
republic in the Philippines. A republic
is a government by the people through
their chosen representatives. The people
of the Philippines never were consulted
about the so-called Filipino Republic.
It's head was tricky young Tagalog
named Aguinaldo, who proclaimed him
self dictator and endeavored to make
himself so by force of arms. Republics
are not governed by dictator. The form
of government which took the place of
constitution in the so-called republic was
q lengthy personal decree of AguinaldO
himself. 1t was not a republic but
despotism which he sought to establish.
The people of the Philippine Islands are
made up of many different tribes. Negri-
tos, Tagalogs, Moros, Vjsayans. and more
than fifty others. These tribes are sep
arate in blood, sympathies, and to large
extent in language. In addition to them
there are thousands Of Spaniards, Ger
mans, Americans, and people of other ma
tons who are resident there. and whose
persons and property are to be protect
ed. In addition to all these are large
numbers of Mestizos, people whose moth
ers were native Filipinos, but whose faith
ers were japanese, Chinese or Spaniards.
There Is no probability that one-half
or one-third of all these vast numbers Of
people would consent to be governed by
Aguinaldo and the Tagalog tribe which
ne represents. Many of them would GER
tainly fight against it. The abandon
ment of the islands by the United States
army would mean, not liberty to the peo-
pie, but war among themselves result
ing in either despotism or anarchy.
.. The United States has never made
war upon the Filipinos. We have not
even been engaged in war, offensive or

Bryan on Pensions.

Mr.. Bryan's utterances about the SOL
diers of the Civil War are worth repeat
ing. Mr.. Bryan, as editor Of the Omaha
World Herald, passed this Nov. IS, 1892:
"The next session Of Congress will
have TO wrestle with one deficiency Of
S360O0,0O0. This is on account of pen
sions. The appropriation for next year
must be not less than $4,000, 900. 1t is
therefore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that Congress must
make must aggregate not less than $780,
100000. This tremendous sum would
in itself be enough to run a reasonable
government. One would not complain
if it were an honest debt, but large pro-
portion is not a debt because it was new
er earned by any act of patriotism or
heroic service. The government is held
up and despoiled Of no mean portion Of
this aud it seems helpless to defend it
self. One cannot help being curious to
know how many more years it will take
to exhaust the generation which feels
itself injured by the war. 1t is safe to
say that never did a generation display
such remarkable longevity"
Isn't it about time that Mr.. Bryan was
attacking the Spanish war pensioners?

WHAT is A TORNADO?

What is Tornado? is the question you
will hear
Asked by every one you meet at this time
of the year.
1t seems so awful stupid, that 1 often feel
inclined
To Cyclone with my intellect the whirl-
wind of their mind.
Now, a full-grown Tornado, 1t Is very
seldom seen.
1t leaves its tracks behind it, and you
know where it has been.
1t comes so very sudden, and as quickly
doth depart,
That its coming and its going is Impress
ed upon your heart.
Now, I've told you all about 1t, there Ii
nothing more to know.

A missionary was sent to convert
Dewey to Democracy at Manila. He

In the Democratic party-those who could
have given him the nomination if he
would have consented to a few-line senti-
ments and glittering generalities. III

Questionably have been the candidate.
He would have been an imperialist some
thing like; an imperialist wouldn't have
hurt the Democrats a bit. The Demo

about Imperialism nor about silver at 16

gone in on the heroics. They would have
celebrated a conqueror as their candi-
date. and been glad and proud and stuck
up and happy to support a man who had
shed blood, conquered territory and sur
rounded the world with his glories. That
as what the Democracy wanted.-Murat

decidedly opposed to the dragging OF
the shipping question into partisan poll

question was business propositions
commercial question, and of great and

were quite ready to defend their posi-

In these very favorable circum-
stances, for the Republicans to defer
action on the ship subsidy bill until the
Democratic National Convention can
be whipped into adopting an expression
in its next national platform, opposing
Government aid for the upbuilding OF
American shipping, will make it infin-
itely more difficult than ever for cour-
ageous and patriotic Democrats to sup
port the measure. 1t means to gravely
imperil, IL not actually defeat, its final
passage.

Pearl Button Industry.


Pearl button-making was first made
possible In the United States by tho
Mckinley tariff of 1892. OF course the
industry was nearly destroyed by the
free-trade Wilson bill of 1894. After
further protection was given the indus
try by the Dingley tariff of 1897, the
eighth biennial report of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics for the State Of
Iowa says:
"a remarkable development of the
business was witnessed in 1898, no less
than thirty-six factories being estab-
lished during the first six months Of
that year."
Seven towns in Illinois and six In
Iowa are centers of button-making. Ii
supports an important fishery, and as
the report says:
Besides the people thus directly con-
nected with the business, many others
in more than a score of towns are bene-
flied, including merchants, machinists,.
boatmen, draymen and transportation
companies"
Democratic free trade will kill the
pearl button business, throw lots Of
people out of employment and inJurs
local trade and transportation.

pie. The Filipinos number probably ten
millions of people and two millions Of
men capable Of bearing arms. If they
were united in war against US, the little
army which we have there would scarce
ly be a circumstance in their way. But
the majority of the Filipinos are quiet,
docile people, not disposed to fight and
not engaged in the instruction now prac-
ticaliy quelled. Aguinaldo had compar-
atively few supporters outside of his own
tribe, the Tagalogs, who comprise prob
ably one-tenth Of the whole mass of Fill
pinos. He, in his mad effort for abso-
lutte rule, attacked the forces of the Unit
ed States, and we were compelled to quell
the instruction.
3. The United States troops are in the
Philippines for the protection of the peo-
pie from murder, rapine and misrule, and
for the preservation of law, order and
property rights. For many years there
have been robber bands in the mountains
who would from time to time light down
upon the villages and rob and murder the
people. The Spaniards paid no attention
TO the interior. but protected only the
coast. Last spring one of these bands
attacked Filipino village and, In addi-
ton to the robbery and killing, carried
away thirty Filipino women to the hills.
Two companies of United States soldiers
pursued them. attacked and dispersed the
band, and restored the women to their
friends. We are bringing to these islands
true liberty, Liberty protected by law"
4. The possession and control of these
islands came to us proyidentialy, unex-
pectedly and unsought. They are ours
by treaty, and a treaty which Mr.. Bry-
an approved. We are responsible to the
nations of the earth and to the Judge
of all the earth for their care. We &C.
cept the responsibility in the fear Of God
and the love of humanity. l may not live
to see it, my boy, but If you live twenty
years you will see the most marvellous
development in the worlds history in the
Philippines. Good roads, good schools,
the development Of agriculture, manufac-
lures and mining, the Introduction OF
American push and energy among the
people, railroads, and hundred other
means of transformation. You will see
there twenty millions Of contented and
prosperous people who will rejoice In
their liberty and their privileges and be
proud of their relations to the greatest
of all nations, the United States OF Amer
lea. And then, my boy, every Democrat
in America will swear that he always
was in favor of that thing and that he
was ever an expansionist Of the first
water. YOUR FATHER.

FARMER BRYANS NIGHTMARE
HUGO DENKENS PRUCT.
A Wisconsin Farmer and Ex-Justice
of the Peace to His Nephew.

Yes, Jonathan, that indianapolis
speech as you say, is very fine and lots
of it. Mr.. Bryan is scbmart man
enough, but 1 kvit him for the sake of
his sixteen to one" humbug, and the
demonstration at Indianapolis makes me
kvit him more. He says he was right
then and the people wrong, and that he
is right now and the good people must
now apologize by electing him President.
The other fellows in the convention at
Kansas City have not so much faith, but
they have hopes, so they compromise
with Mr.. Bryan and raise a crop of ca
lamity imperialism mixed with the. Six
teen to one" old seed. saying to them
selves, "Where one don't grow the other
will"
Did you ever try to drive in the barn
with your hay-load too big on one side
too much haw on one side and too much
wheels on the other? Yes. you did: and
unload, all we do is 70 back out and
paramount another big lot of hay on the
other side; then we drive in the barn all
right"
l will tell you little true story which
reminds me of this loading up at Kansas
City with the reaff1rmation business and
the paramount imperialism" on the top.
GERMAN INDEPENDENCE.
A very nice talking man called ON my
father one day to enkvire for sheep and
calves to buy. They soon struck a bar
gain in which he was to pay twenty dol
lars for two calves and six sheep. That
was before greenbacks. He offered my
father twenty dollar bill, but as he was
afraid of wild cat money" there was
plenty of it in those days. my father said
he wanted hard money. After much nice
talk from the man my father said: mo,
rather have the sheep and calves"
Then the man went on with his fine talk
and complimented the Germans. saying
pleasant things about the German indie
pepdence of character"
So they were about to part on friendly
terms when the dealer took an awful
kvick fancy to one of our horses. Pretty
soon bargain was struck for one hum
bred dollars. When the buyer came to
pay, however, he pulled out eighty dol
lars in silver and gold and that same
twenty dollar bill. Then there was talk
till you couldn't rest, but my father said
at last; "No, / rather have the horse"
The stranger answered: well, l give
you my note for the bill" but my father

PORTO RfcANs PLEASED.
British Consul There About the Only
Man Who Wants Free Trade.


A private letter received from an
American In Porto Rica indicates that
talk Of the hardships predicted to fall
upon the Porto Ricans following the
enactment of the tariff and civil gov
eminent laws for the island Is NOON
shine. In his letter he says:
1.-THE people here, irrespective OF
caste or condition, hail the passage Of
the Foraker bill with the greatest de-
light, and are now beginning to prepare
for revival of business and good
times. There seems to have been q
very grave Misrepresentation of facts
made in the United States concerning
the wants of the natives and business
men of this island in 80 far as 1t re-,
lates to the tariff 1t Is a mistaken
the contrary the merchants (99 out Of
every hundred) want a small tariff in
preference, and in fact did not at any,
time object to the 20 per cent. first
talked Of. They are bright enough to
prefer small indirect tax to heavy
direct form of taxation, to raise the
revenues necessary to conduct the gov
eminent of the island. About the only
ones desiring the benefit Of free trade
are few foreigners like Mr.. Finley,
the British consul at San Juan, who
have bought up all the sugar and to-
bacco in sight at low figure, and have
been holding the same In anticipation
of a free entry to the States, thereby
enabling them to realize more largely
on their investment.

Gold supply Nearly Doubled.

In the country has increaserd to $814,-
