three thoughts that may be appropriate
to 1900. First, a strong government:
second, just government; third, a
protective government.
In this great world of ours full of
powerful, massive, aggressive govern
ments, this nation as a government
must be strong to take care of our
people and their interests. No govern
ment can be strong that is not just
We cannot hold the love and support
of our people unless we are just in the
enactment. in the Interpretation and
execution of law.
This government must protect cap
ital and labor and give each a fair
chance. 1t must protect the rich and
the poor, the black and the white and
the brown, also Mr.. Bryan. Unless
we have a government big enough to
extend its protective power every
where that old flag floats it will come
short of its duty. Aye, and gentlemen
it must be a government that will pro-
tect its citizens in the heart of Chica-
go. or in the heart of China"
Speaker Henderson was heartily
cheered as he resumed his seat.
Davis Talks of Destiny.
Senator Cushman X. Davis. chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign affairs, replied as follows to the
toast, Our Destiny"
After = general attack on the Demo-
cratic party, speaking of China, the
senator said:
The policy of the United States as
to China should, in my opinion, be
this:
1T must rescue it's citizens. 1t must
exact indemnity for all injuries to their
person or property. 1t will insist that
China shall observe all treaty stiDula-
tons and that, under any and all con-
ditiOnS of sovereignty, session or for
eign ascendancy, the open door shall
remain open. We shall use no mill
tary fOrce for conquest, and have no
concert with any European power, eX-
cent to rescue our citizens and theirs
I'VE cOvet no Chinese territory. and
we Will acquire none. We desire no
territorial sphere of influence We will
give no approval or support, physical,
moral or sentimental, to the dismem-
beTment of China, or to the extinction
of her sovereignty by the acquisition of
spheres of influence by any European
power.
Looks For Regeneration
Il look fo- a regeneration of China
as the result of the commissions she is
now suffering. 1t will come to pass
not by the partition of that mighty and
immemOrial empire, but by its full en-
try into commercial relations with the
other notions of the world. The pro-
cess will not be long one. 1t has been
going on for fifty years, and has be-
come more perfect and extensive every
year. When fully completed the United
States viii be the greatest participant
in that trade of the Pacific which Hum
bOldt predicted more than seventy-five
years ago would be the greatest COM
merce that land and sea have ever
known.
This is manifest destiny: it is writ

the sky of a visible future
Finance a Main Issue.
imperialism is not the paramount
issue of the campaign, and cannot be
made So The adjustment of any ques-
ton as TO the Philippines is to be con-
sidered after rebellion against the SOW
ereignty and authority of the United
States has been put down. The para
mount issues this year are financial
and economic. Shall the anti-protec-
ton party OF 16 TO l be put in power
to advance it's principles by the enor-
nous powers of executive influence in
case Mr.. Bryan is elected, and win the
