THE BRYAN PLATFORM.

Memphis (Tenn.) Scimetar: Reduced to
definite propositions, the democratic plat
form is a demand for the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 16 to l, and for the re-
hnquishment of the Philippines to Aguin-
aldo, supplemented by an appeal to pas
sions and prejudices Of foreign origin.
The falsehood about the Anglo-Amertcan
alliance is the cheapest and most trans
parent demogogy, intended to secure the
support of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ele-
ments of our citizens. :.
The historic democratic principle of tarin
reform is abandoned for the sake OF hold
ing the votes of populists and silver repub-
lican protectionists.

and reckless 1t falsely accuses our gov
I'M of waging wantOn war on It's Tor
mer allies in the Philippines. In so de-
claring, it brands as a liar every American
soldier and foreign resident of Manila VINO

the outbreak Of February 4. 1889. and &C,
cepts as true the unsupported assertions OF
the Filipino junta and Its champions IN TINS

The Filipinos cannot be citizens without

be subjects without imperiling our form OF

republic into an empire. we favor an I'M

They are issues which involve the peace.

questions will for the time %supplant

Prosperity in the south. due mainly to
republican protection of cotton, is said to

A democratic paper tries to make it ap-
pear that the prosperity of the sheepmen
in Montana is not attributable to a repub-
lican policy. 1t says that the increased
valuation of sheep is due as much to the
natural increase in the flocks as to the
price of wool. True. But why nave the
fiocks been increased? Why nave SO many
more men gone into the sheep business!
Because there is more money in it than
there was In the good old days of 7-cent

said that when a man has eaten a good
dinner he should not throw it up. We have

There is great disappointment in demo-
cratic ranks because Mckinley declines
to act precipitately in the Chinese crisis
He will not call unless condi-

The Inter Mountain would not belittle
the influence of the press, blu it does not
subscribe to the doctrine that the party

is the weight of the argument, not the
weight of the purse behind the arESu-
ment, that affects the public mind. A
newspaper must represent that which is
sound and clean and right If it would
win the battle at the polls. It Is foolish
to think that bad men animated by evil

THE COIN FIGURES.

The New York World of the 21st edi-
torially prints al article which should
elect Mckinley and Roosevelt president
and vice-president of the United States.
1t is as follows:
The official figures printed to-day of
the foreign m of the United
states for the fiscal yea ending June 30
are impressive. For the first time the
total rises above the .two-bil1on-dollar
mark.the record breaking figures being
WA, 1873, SAB. This exceeds the total trade
of last year by 16 2-3 per cent, or $780,
900, 600.
This increase was about evenly divided
between exports and imports-the gain in
the former being $167, 10000, 900 n in the
latter $152, 0OO, 900. The largest and most
notable gain in exports was in
lures. nearly 500, 900, 000-and still we
maintain the highest protective tariff
against competitors whom We beat on
their own ground!
Such a trade means prosperity, quite
generally enough diffused to prove a fac
tor in the election not to be despised
by wise men. --.
The World may rail against protection
but without it the figures of 1899 would
be like those of 1893. Protection means
prosperity.
The democratic argument used to be
that under protection we could not en-
large our foreign trade. but the facts
show that it is greater than ever before
n that the protective duties nave suf-
feed to meet all the ordinary expenses
of the government. Under free trade
how would these expenses be met?
No wonder the Kansas City convention
omitted all mention of the tariff issue.
The Standard again raises the Issue Of
veracity between the Tagal rebel chiefs
IN Luzon and Admiral Dewey of the
United States navy in the matter of the
promised independence of the Filipinos
The American people are willing to take
Dewey's word as against that of a MIL
lion rebel chiefs.
