dents discretion and has been kept
there ever since.
When the new standing army is
created it will be kept at the 100, 900
mark as long as the Philippine COM
plication lasts. The republicans
might as well strike out the Sc 900
clause. 1t is only put in to deceive
the people.
What contrast from a standing
army of %, 600 to one of 100, 600,
What is there about the condition of
the United States which Justifies the
imposition of such a burden? Moth
ing whatever. The attempt to con-
quer the Philippines is the only ex-
cuse. The people of the whole coun-
try have not begun to realize what
the Philippine war is costing.
Long before Mr.. Mckinlev's second
term has closed the voters will realize
that Imperialism and militarism are
real and serious dangers TO our own
citizens.
The democrats do not favor a large
standing army. While not seriously
Directing to the force required in the
Pnilippines-if the republican policy
must be carried out-yet they say
with justice that there is no reason
why we should have a permanent
army of 100, 900 men.
The republicans declared in the
campaign that the defeat of BRYAN
meant speedy ending of the Philip
pine trouble. The defeat was thor
ough enough. According to their own
theories, only a temporary force
should be needed.
The real truth is that the trusts de-
sire big standing army with which
TO crush domestic restlessness. This
is their opportunity to get it. The
big standing army will be ready for
them in the future. No arbitration
then.
In the greatest emergencies of the
country-in the war of 1912, in the
war with Mexico and the civil war
no president ever received or sought
the power of increasing at will the
forces of the regular or volunteer
army. Yet this authority is asked
for by the president in the presence
of no more serious military problem
than the crushing of the Filipino in
surrection. 1t is certainly no want
Vi respect loT IIeS4uenL bIchlnIev, as
an exchange puts it, to say
that there is nothing in his character
or in existing conditions to entitle
him to prerogative which in times
of war was not given to Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Polk or Lincoln.
Not one of these presidents, it should
be added, ever dreamed of seeking
such a power at the hands of con-
gress. But now Mr.. Mckinley comes
to the front and recommends that
upon himself shall be conferred the
extraordinary power of increasing
the regular force to 1O0,O 600 men at
will

II is proposed now to create new
coin of silver exclusively for the Phil
ippine islands colony to be known as
the Filipino dollar. 1t is to contain so
cents worth of silver, which will alb
sorb several million dollars year of
the output of our silver mines. The
currency in the Philippines nowadays
is very much mixed, the Mexican dol
lar being the standard of value. as it
is in China, and the commission has
recommended substitute which
shall be identified with the govern
ment of the Philippines. The matter
was discussed in the cabinet meeting
last week, and while no definite con-
clusion was reached, the director of
the mint will probably be asked to
prepare a design soon.

TIE NEW STANDING AMY.

The army reorganization bill was
pushed through congress with all
speed.
1t provides for a standing army OF
66 600 to be raised to 100, 0O0 at the
discI elton of the president.
The republicans talk as if it would
never reach the latter figure. They
arc not dealing honestly with the
issue.
The present temporary army bill
was put through with practically the
same provisions which characterize
this measure creating a large standing
army. The force was promptly raised
TO the maximum allowed in the presi-

STICKS TO HIS PRINCIPLES.

Hon. William j. Bryan, although
defeated twice for the presidency,
sticks to his colors. He has written an
extended letter TO the Chicago Ameri-
can on the subject, the most important
portions of which follow:
Defeat does not make it necessary
for US to abandon anything for which
we have fought. Imperialism was
declared to be the paramount issue of
the late campaign. Must we now in
dorse imperialism because the repub-
licans have won?
The trust question was prominent
issue in the campaign and we de-
nOunce private monopoly as indefen-
sible and intolerable. Must we
abandon our fight against the trusts
because the republicans have won?
1t would be just as reasonable to in
sist that the democratic party should
accept the republican position on
these questions as to say that it must
accept the repu blican position on the
gold question.
The great tinanciers who stand be-
hind the gold standard also stand be-
hind the trusts, large army and an
imperial policy. If they can coerce
the people into supporting the gold
standard, banks of issue and a per-
petual debt. they can coerce them
into submission to private monopoly,
militarism and colonialism.
We are engaged in a contest be-
tween plutocracy on the one side and
democracy on the other. The demo-
cratic party cannot take both sides; it
must stand on the one side or the
other, and it must choose between
two elements, which are seeking its
support.
The democratic party stands for
JefTer sonian doctrine of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
and it will oppose any party which
violates that doctrine.
The democratic party cannot take
the side of the plutocrats without for
feiting the support of those who look
TO it to champion the rights of the
people against eucroachments of or
ganized wealth.
The democratic party stands for the
declarations of independence, and will
oppose any policy which will violate
the principles set forth in that sacred
document.
The democratic party must be con-
sistent; it cannot make peace with the
money power on one issue and fight ii |
on others: ii must continue its fight, |
for that is the reason for its existence. |
