evidence to my mind that the people
do not want him.
Both political parties demand and will
have other candidates. No sane man
can question the attitude of the Republi-
can party toward Dewey and any intelli-
gent person who has mingled fifteen
minutes among Democrats should know
that they are unit for William j.
Bryan. Any person who believes other
wise may be respected for his sincerity,
but it should not be forgotten that the
most sincere people in the world are
those who butt their heads against pad
ded cells and are too sincere to be per-
mitted to remain at large.
Dewey is not fit to be president, be-
cause his inclinations and experiences
have nothing in common with states
manship. To all intents and purposes
he is not even a resident of the United
States. He is reported to have said that
he has never voted for president. and
to this the report adds that he declared
the only president he ever wanted to
vote for was Grover Cleveland. Then
he did not want to vote for Lincoln, or
Grant, or Hayes, or Tilden, or Hancock,
or Garfield, or Harrison, or Mckinley, or
any of these what kind of man Is he?
Is he citizen or clam? If he did not
want to vote for Bryan, he was not a
Democrat in 1896 and is not one now.
If he did not want to vote for Bryan
how can he expect nomination from
the party that nominated Bryan?
/ remember Dewey's heroism; but
also remember his acceptance of the gift
house; his giving it away; his taking
every little toy and bauble that CRATE
full people showered upon him; his dec
laration that he could not be a candidate
for president; his repudiation Of that
solemn pledge;' his present purpose to
turn the patriotic admiration of the
people to political account by travelling
over the country upon invitations not
extended to him as candidate for pres
ident; his silly announcement that his
platform was "the flag" and-Heaven
be charitable to the hero of Manila!-his
bondage to an apron string.
For Dewey the sailor, the laurel and
the crown. For Dewey the politician,
the FOOLS cap and the bells!

much pains to understatd the operating
expenses of the great commercial VEN

much pains to understatd the operating
expenses Of the great commercial ven
ture?
These questions are forcibly suggest
ed by the fact which was brought out
during the debate on the army bill in
the house that when the secretary of
war stated the expenses of the war in
the Philippines he stated only the actual
expenses in Philippine territory. He
left out all the cost of organizing, arm
ing and equipping the volunteer regi-
ments which were raised for service in
the Philippines and so was able to say
that the cost of the war in those islands
was only s4S,000,0O0.
IT is true that the official estimate of
the cost fthe army for the next fiscal
year Is $120, ZOO, 900 and we may make our
own crude estimate of the portion of
this which is due to the war office in
the archipelago. But when Mr.. Root
was pretending to tell us what 1t was
costing us to whip the Filipinos into
submission he ought to have been frank
with us. What he stated served not
merely to conceal, but actually to mis-
lead. 1t lead people to think that the
entire cost of the military establish
ment was only two and a half times
the cost of operations in the Philip
pines and excited wonder why the cost
of the army elsewhere should be so
great.

REPEAL THE WAR TAN.

March 10, 1900, the United States
| treasury had on hand as shown by the
| official statement, a net cash balance OF
over three hundred million dollars. The
government receipts, in excess of all ex-
penses for eight months prior to April
1st, were over sixty two and one half
million dollars, or an average of nearly
eight million dollars per month. At this
rate money is being taken out of circula-
ton and concentrated in the vaults of
the United States treasury in the
enormous sums of ninety six million dol
lars per year. and for what purpose or
usage? This concentration of the
circulating medium cannot fail to result
very materially detrimental to business
at large.
1900, the secretary of the treasury said:
"The revenues are now exceeding dis
bursements from month to month, and
seem likely to do so for an indefinite
time. This condition would be a menace
to the business world If assurances
were not given that this surplus would
be diverted from the treasury vaults to
public repositories where, while secure
to the government, it would remain
available to business USE"
The existence of over three hundred
million dollars in cash means that the
government has not only the required
gold reserve, as per the law just passed
but also one hundred and fifty millions
of dollars over and above all expenses
and still the government Is collecting
taxes on checks, deeds, mortgages,
medicines, perfumes, bills lading, tele
grams, money orders, ETC., levying upon
the people an unjust, harassing, op-
pressive tax. What possible excuse can
there now be for congress refusing to
repeal this unjust stamp tax upon busi
ness documents, medicines, toilet arti-
cles, etc? Think about 1T! Since July
1st, 1899, there has gone into the public
treasury and average daily surplus of
two hundred and seventy thousand dol
lars, and it is increasing from day to
day, and now that the government does
not need the money, why continue it
and tax the people?

NOT FITNESS BUr WILLINGNESS THE
TEST.

The denomination of Congressman
Tayler is now assured. The primary
election of Saturday last in Stark coun-
ty, which gave Tayler such an over
whelming majority of the delegates.
settled the nomination beyond the per-
adventure of doubt. Mahoning coun-
ty has followed Stark county and has in
structed her delegates to vote for Tay-
Ter. This is not surprise to those who
have studied the political situation.
Robert Tayler was chosen long ago, by
the administration, to succeed himself
And the will of the administration must
be done. Right or wrong-its will is
law unto the party. If the friends of
Mr.. Baker had given the situation the
attention they should have given it, be-
fore announcing his name as a candi-
date in the congressional race, they
might have spared him the humiliation
of an overwhelming defeat. Mr.. Ba-
ker's friends presumed that any man
had right to aspire to any office within
the gift of the people. They believed
that in point of ability and fitness for
the position that Baker was the equal,
at least of Mr.. Tayler. Inthis they
reasoned right. But they did not go far
enough. Ability and fitness have little
show against the administration. The
administration concerns itself very lit
tie about such things as fitness or abil-
ity. Willingness to serve his master
is the only qualification necessary to an
administration candidate. Tayler has
this requirement in abundance. That
is what defeated Baker and that Is what
gave the nomination to Tayler.

The war with the Filipinos is over, and
has been for long time, If administra-
ton reports are to be believed. Yet
from other sources comes the informa-
ton that an insurgent outpost is found
within FIVE miles of Manila, and that
encounters between the insurgents and
the Americans continue with deadly
effect. Isn't it about time to let the
American people know the truth? While
commanders are clamoring for REIN
forcements the war is not over. The
American people are patient, but there
will come a time before long, when
they will demand to know the truth and
they will hold the president responsible
for any deception that may have been
practiced upon them.

HANNA KNOWS HIS PARTY.
Indianapolis Sentinel.l

tihuidHhpoiio oCuliltl.J
While it is disgusting to see how the
picked representatives of the Republi-
can party in congress crouch under the
party lash 1t is interesting to note how
correctly Mark Hanna has estimated
the lack Of nerve and backbone among
his followers. There has never been a
time before in the history Of this coun-
try when one man so completely domi-
mated the government as this money
king does at present. The president Is
completely under his control and the
action of the house caucus shows that
congress is likewise ready to do his
bidding. The CHASTITY possibility re-
mains that he can also dictate the
opinions of the supreme court in the
matters which he considers of import
ance. And no man ever used his power
more recklessly. None ever ventured
such assaults on the constitution or was
able to secure their open defense from
party men generally. 1t Is more than
astonishing.
People talk about "militarism" in this
country being a "bogie." 1t Is not.
The real danger of 1t comes from just
such a machine leader as this. There
Is only one escape from such man,
and that is through an awakened and
aroused people.

Is THE WAR OVER?

The late dispatches from Manila indi-
cate very clearly that the war in the
Philippines is not over, nor is 1t likely to
be soon. Notwithstanding the efforts of
the administration to make 1t appear so.
Six engagements within week and
some within FIVE miles Of Manila. is and
ought to be evidence sufficient that
somebody is trying to deceive the peo-
pie with referenceto the true situation
in the Philippines. Gen. Young and
Gen. Bell, both commanding in the is
land of Luzon. have made requests for
reinforcements. They say their troops
are exhausted by the necessity of con-
slant vigilance" and that they are una.
BILE to garrison the towns In the face
of this will the administration keep or
insisting that the war Is over?

In 1898 Washington and Wyoming
gave Republican majorities at the state
and congressional elections and must
therefore, be eliminated from the Demo-
cratic column this year. The changes
leave 1863 Democratic and 231 Republi-
can electoral votes. A majority of the
presidential electors being 224, the
Democrats must obtain fifty-five votes
in order to elect the president. Where
are they to come from? Can they be
obtained by nominating a candidate
and adopting platform which will re-
pei instead of attracting voters? The
way to victory is by increasing the
popular vote for our candidates, not by
reducing it.
There is not now a shadow on the
prospect of William J. Bryan for re-
ceiving the Democratic presidential
nomination. There will be no bolt, as
there was in 1896. But something more
Is desirable than that the entire Demo-
cratic vote of the country should be
cast for the Democratic candidate.
Still more is needed. We want that
portion of the Republican vote which Is
in opposition to the measures of Nc
Kinley's administration. These are the
means of victory and they are within
our reach.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-04-13

The Columbus, Ohio, Press-Post, a
Democratic journal of some pretensions,
has declared. in a sort of semi-apolo-
getc manner, for Admiral Dewey for
the presidency. This is the first, and
so far as we know the only Democratic
paper, that has jumped into the Dewey
maelstrom. That others will follow is
to be expected. 1t is their right to do
so. But the Democratic newspaper that
can find in Admiral Dewey a single
thing to recommend him to the Demo-
cratic party as their presidential candi-
date, except his victory in Manila Bay,
in preference to that greatest of men,
and that greatest of Democrats, William
J. Bryan, could, it would seem, find
easy excuse to support William McKin-
ley. Mr.. Webster p. Huntington, the
former able editor of the Press Post, in
reply to a request from the editor Of the
Post for an opinion of Dewey's candi-
dacy, views, we believe, the situation
correctly when he says:
submit that 1t is absurd,
First, because the people do not want
| him.
Second, because they do want some
body else.
And, third, because Admiral Dewey Is
not fit to be president.
There are more than $4,000 newspapers
In the United States. and of this num-
ber only one, and that one published in
Columbus, is supporting Dewey openly.
This may be good thing to advertise
Columbus in the same way that a wart
on a mans nose makes him peculiar and
marked among his fellows; but / doubt
that It Is any more beneficial to the
paper In question or to the city In which
IL Is publirhad than the wart Is to the
mar. The fact that Dewey's candidacy

: the press Of the country - sufhcient

VICTORY wIrsrs osR REACH.

One of the leading Democratic news
papers of the west to oppose the elec-
tion of William J. Bryan, in 1896. was the
Chicago Chronicle. That Journal not
only opposed the election of Bryan but
it advocated the election of William Nc
Kinley. But the Chronical like many
Other Democratic papers throughout the
country, that wandered away after
strange gods, in 1896, has seen the error
of its way and 1t is now giving its sup
port to VIM. j. Bryan. The Chronical
regards the nomination of Bryan assur-
ed, for 1t says there is not now
shadow on the prospect of William J.
Bryan" To secure the election-that is
now the question. With reference there
to the Chronical says:
1t is natural to suppose that the
Democratic leaders and managers-the
men who are operating the campaign Oc
1900-desire most of all things to elect
the Democratic candidate for president.
They are not intentionally playing
politics." they are more than in fun,
their serious object is victory at the
polls. To accomplish this end they must
have a candidate and a platform which
will command a majority Of the voters
in the country. They must not drive
voters out Of the party. They must
seek vast additions to the Democratic
vote of 1896.
1t is therefore, instructive to study the
electoral vote of four years ago for the
purpose Of escertaining where the addi-
tional support needed for the election Of
a Democratic president is to be obtained.
The total electoral vote is 447, making
224 votes necessary to a choice. In 1896
the respective states cast their electoral
votes as follows.
