 New York, Feb. 2O-Speculative opin- ion showed itself to-day rather unset tied. The news of the day so far as it bore on values of securities, was all favorable, but it failed to attract any demand for stocks from the general public. This induced a spirit of cau- tion amongst professional operators about taking on large lines of stocks, in view of the doubtful market afford ted for realizing. The bears were in- clined to make ventures, but while they succeeded in effecting large declines in a few special stocks, they failed to in- duce any general liquidation. The un- dertone of the market was distinctly firm and the opening gains, which were pretty generally wiped out. were large ly recovered again in the final dealings. London was disposed to buy stocks here, and while the volume of the buy ing was not large the tendency was considered to be important in view of the condition in the exchange market and the approaching loan for war pur- poses to be placed by the British gov ernment The tendency of railroad stocks was upwards at the start, and there was special strength where re- ports showed high level of earnings Southern Railway was the most notable addition to-day to the large gains for the second week in February, it's in- crease over last years similar period being no less than 45 per cent.

The Record of His Administration For The Past Ynree
Years Is Reviewed.
HESHOWS THAT SILVER is STILL AN ISSUE.
The False Issue Of Imperialism Given lhorOuSp exposure Anu V
pletely Demolished.

nounce that their efforts shall be unceas'
ing until the gold act shall be blotted from
the statute books and the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to shall take
its place.
The relative Importance of the issues
do not stop to discuss. all Of them are im'
portant. Whichever party is successful
will be bound in conscience to carry into
effect its several declarations and doc
trines. One declaration will be as obliga-
tory as another, but all are not immediate.
1t is not possible that these parties would
treat the doctrine of sixteen to one, the
immediate realization of which is demand
ed by their several platforms, as void and
imperative in the event that they should
be clothed with power. Otherwise their
profession of faith is insincere. 1t is, there
fore, the imperative business of those op'
posed to this financial heresy to prevent
the triumph of the parties whose union is
only assured by adherence to the silver
issue.
Will the American people, through In
difference or fancied security, hazard the
overthrow of the wise financial legislation
of the past year and revive the danger OF
the silver standard with all of the inevita-
BILE evils of shattered confidence and gen.
eral disaster which justly alarmed and
aroused them in 1896?

ave are asked to transfer our sovereign
ty to a small minority in the islands with
out consulting the majority, and to aban'
don the largest portion of the population,
which has been loyal to us, to the cruel
ties of the guerrilla insurgent bands.
More than this, we are asked to protect
this minority in establishing govern
ment, and to this end repress all opposi-
ton of the majority. We are required to
set up stable government in the interest
of those who have assailed our sovereign
ty and fired upon our soldiers, and then
maintain it at any cost or sacrifice agairs st
its enemies within and against those hsv-
ing ambitious designs from without.
"This would require an army and navy
far larger than is now maintained in the
Philippines, and still more in excess If
what will be necessary with the full recog'
milton of our sovereignty. A military sup
port of authority not our Own, as thus
proposed, is the very essence of militar-
ism, which our opponents in their plat
form oppose, which, by their policy, would
of necessity be established in its most Of
fensive form.
''The American people will not make
the murderers of our soldiers the agents of
the Republic to convey the blessings of
liberty and order to the Philippines.
IF our opponents would only practise as
well as preach the doctrines of Abraham
Lincoln there would be no fear for the
safety of our institutions at home or their
rightful influence in any territory over
which our flag floats.
Empire has been expelled from Porto
Rico and the Philippines by American
freemen. The flag Of the Republic now
floats over these islands as an emblem of
rightful sovereignty. Will the Republic
stay and dispense to their inhabitants the
blessings of liberty, education and free in
stitutions, or steal away, leaving them to
anarchy or imperialism?
'The American question is between duty
and desertion-the American verdict will
be for duty and against desertion, for the
Republic against both anarchy and i'm
perialsm."

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The people are laughing at Bryan's i'm.
perialistic scarecrow.
Some of the Democrats are trying to
make light of Governor R@eevelts can.
yass in Western and Northwe' tern States.
He is attracting as large or larger crowds
than Mr.. Bryan, and those 10 whom he
speaks are exhibiting more enthusiasm
than are those who are listening to the
idol of the modern Democracy.
The Democratic stump speakers in Vir'
ginia are saying nothing about the consti'
tutional convention. They are afraid to
discuss the question for fear they will lose
the votes of some of the men they propose
to disfranchise by a new Constitution.
Republican speakers, however, will keep
the question before the people and make
it very live issue.
The Democrats who boasted 30 about
the speech of acceptance OF Mr.. Bryan,
will cease to crow after they read the let
ter of acceptance of President Mckinley.
Never was a man more completely cor
nered and exposed than has been Mr..
Bryan. His absurd paramount" issue
has been annihiated by the unanswerable
logic and facts presented by Mr.. McKin-
ley.
The Democrats are very indignant be.
cause the Republicans are appealing to the
workingmen by reminding them OF the
fact that they now have employment and
that they and their families have an abun'
dance of good food. The Democrats cay
this is appealing to the base and sensual
appetites of men. We all remember how
the calamity howlers in 1896 talked about
the starving men and women who couldn't
get work.
The terrible catastrophe at Galveston,
Texas, has aroused profound sympathy
for that stricken city in every section OF
the United States and throughout the
civilized world. There will be q prompt
response to the calls for assistance, and
everything will be done that can be done
to alleviate the srfeiings Of thoee who
survived the awful storm. The spirit OF
bensvolence is growing in the world, de.
spite the doubts of pessimists.
In speech at Knoxville. Tenn, Sept.
10th, 1896, Mr.. Bryan said "If there 10
any one who believes the gold standard Is
good thing and that it ouglt 10 be MAIN
tanned, warn him rot to cast his vote tor
me, because promise him it will not be
maintained in this country longer than
am able to get rid Of it," He has not
changed his views as to the gold standard,
but is now trying to persuade gold Demo-
Gratis to vote for him. This is the sincere
Mr.. Bryan.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Chile, Peru and Argentina Making Ready
For a Conflict.

Valparaiso, Sept. 8.-A three-sided con-
hict is in prospect on account Of the Tacna-
africa question, which terminated In 1884
the victorious war of Chile against Peru
and Bolivia. 1t was agreed then that the
victor Was 10 occupy the Peruvian pro-
vinces of Tacna and africa for ten years,
after which a plebiscitum was to declare
whether those provinces wanted to be In
corporated with Chile or return to Peru.
The date passed, however, without any
plebisctum being taken. The Chileans
put it off, under this or that pretext, be-
cause, it is claimed, they wanted to colon
ize the provinces with their own people
and thus secure majority in their favor.
Chile's attitude toward the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress to be held in Mexico in 1901,
which is to the effect that arbitration shall
apply exclusively to future disputes, alarm
ed the people of Argentina, who fear that
Chile will not accept the decision on the
Chilo. Argentina frontier line. Inc result
of this mess of conflicts is that all three
governments are preparing for war.
While Chile has sent to Germany her
favorite general, Korner, to buy guns and
cannons, Peru has despatched on similar
errand her former President, General Ca
ceres, and the Argentine Republic is drill
ing its national guards. In addition, there
is about to be instituted in Chile compul-
sorry military service, and the regrettable
system of armed peace. may be inflicted
upon the republics of South America as
result of the fact that Chile holds over
them sword of Damocles through her un-
willingness to settle finally the old question
of 1acna and africa.

PORTO RICO.

ave hold Porto Rico by the same title
as the Philippines. The treaty of peace
which ceded us the one conveyed to US
the other. Congress has given to this is-
land a government in which the inhabi-
tants participate, elect their own Leglsla-
ture, enact their own local laws, provide
their own system of taxation, and in these
respects have the same power and privl-
leges enjoyed by other Territories belong
ing to the United States, and a much
larger measure of self government than
was given to the inhabitants of Louisiana
under jefferson. A district court OF the
United States for Porto Rico has been es-
tablished, and local courts have been In
augurated, all of which are in operation.
The generous treatment of the Porto
Ricans accords with the most liberal
thought of our own country and encour-
ages the best aspirations Of the. people OF
the Island. While they do not have In
stant free intercourse with the United
States, Congress complied with my recon-
mendation by removing, on the first day
of May last, So per cent. of the duties,
and providing for the removal of the re-
naming Is per cent on the first OF March,
1902, or earlier if the Legislature of Porto
Rico shall provide local revenues for the
expenses of conducting the government
"During this intermediate period Porto
Rican products coming into the United
States pay tariff of Is per cent. OF the
rates under the Dingey act, and our goods
going to Porto Rico pay like rate. The
duties thus paid and collected, both IN
Porto Rico and the United States, are
paid to the government of Porto Rico, and
no part thereof is taken by the National
Government. All of the duties from No
vember l, 1898, to June 80, 1900, aggrega-
ting the sum of So, ,250, ,5292l, paid at the
custom houses in the United States upon
Porto Rican products, under the laws ex-
isting prior to the aforementioned act of
Congress, have gone into the Treasury of
Porto Rico, to relieve the destitute and for
other public purposes.
"In addition to this we have expended
for relief, education and improvement of
roads the sum of $1,5l3, ,OS4.95. The
United States military force in the island
has been reduced from 1000 to 1900,
and native Porto Ricans constitute for the
lrost ps:it tue local constabulary.
Under the new law and the Inaugural
ton of civil government there has been a
gratifying revival of business. The manu-
factures of Porto Rico are developing; her
imports are increasing; her tariff is yield
ing increased returns; her fields are being
cultivated; free schools are being estab-
lished Notwithstanding the many EN-
barassments incident to change of ma
tional conditions she is rapidly showing
the good effects of her new relations to
this nation.

The President then shows that while our
revenues have been increasing our expen-
ditures have decreased. He says Gun
less something unforeseen occurs to reduce
our revenues or increase our expenditures
the Congress, at its next session, should
reduce taxation very materially"
Referring to the Boer War the Presi-
dent tells of the neutrality occupied by our
Government in that war. but states that
our Government did not hesitate to re-
spond to the call of the South African Re-
publics and exercise its good Offices to se'
cure a cessation of hostilities.
The President declares empbatically for
an improvement in our merchant marine
and for an interoceanic canal to connect
the commerce of the Atlantic and Pacific.
COMBINATION OF CAPITAL.
Combinations of capital which control
the market in commodities necessary to
the general use of the people, by suppress
ing natural and ordinary competition,
thus enhancing prices to the general con-
SINNER, are obnoxious to the common law
and the public welfare. They are danger
GUS conspiracies against the public COED
and should be made the subject Of proEi-
bitory or penal legislation. Publicity will
be helpful influence to check this evil
Uniformity of legislation in the several
States should be secured. Discrimination
between what is injurious and what is USE
full and necessary in business operations is
essential to the wise and effective treat
ment of this subject. Honest cooperation
of capital is necessary to meet new busl'
ness conditions and extend our rapidly
increasing foreign trade, but conspiracies
and combinations intended to restrict bus
mess, create monopolies and control prices
should be effectively restrained"
Speaking of our relations with Cuba the
Presidenteays sour military establish
ment has been reduced from $4,000 to less
