DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

expression OIL Democratlc uOctriHe Oh
the question of expansion.
1t is quite probable that this express
sion will be accepted by the Democrat
ic party as the, best presentation of
Democratic thought and that the issue
against Imperialism will be Joined on
1t.
Condensing these resolutions, they
may be given as follows:
"The independence of the Philippine
republic"
Home rule under American counsel
and protection.
"No slavery or polygamy. as guaran-
teed by Mckinley in the Sulu islands,
with pensions to Moslem despots.
NAVAL and coaling stations to be
coded to the United States.
"The Filipino republic to repay to
the United States the twenty millions
We paid Spain under the Paris treaty"
These propositions contain in a nut
shell the broad Americanism which
should characterize all expressions Of
opinion concerning the question of ex-
pansion.
There is no Imitation of British i'm
| perIallsm. no greed for territorial en-
largement at the expense of justice and
no antagonism to the doctrines laid
down in the declaration Of indepen.
dence.
| This expression of opinion follows
the teachings of Washington and Jeffer-
son. is opposed to Mckinley and his
base imitation of European methods
and furnishes common ground upon
which nil men who love liberty and
desire Justice can stand in the cam
snaien of 19OO.-Cbicago Democrat.
Evading the Trust Law.
When the Addystone case was de-
cided by the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States 1t was believed that severe
blow had been given to the trusts. 1t
now develops that the trusts have de-
vised method of eyading the law.
That the Sherman antitrust law af-
fects commerce has been amply demon
strated and the Supreme Court rule
cannot safely be detied, but II can be
evaded. This fact has been taken ad-
vantage of by the Tobacco Trust, which
proposes to go out of interstate bust
ness, but to continue to do business just
the same. If jobbers in tobacco want
to deal in the Continental brands of
tobacco at the old rates, they can do so,
although the trust announces that 1t
has gone out of interstate business. A

Generating Currency.
Let the Republicans in Congress do
most of the talking. Democratic mem
bes can place themselves on record,
but they can't change the vote, and If
| the Republicans are let alone they will
get into first-class row among them
| selves.
In addition to Republican fight in
Congress the Republican newspapers
| will have combat and out of 1t all will
| come light and assistance for Democ.
racy. Already has the New York Sun
| thrown its hat in the ring and asked
| Republican currency tinkers to step on
| the tail of its coat. And vet the Sun is
