FIRST TIME IN HISTORY.

IRON Nc0 York World
Apropos Of Mr.. Mckinley on the
Philippines
When before in the history Of tn e
world has it been found necess ary
TO force the BLESSINGS Of freedom"
on a people at the rifles mouth, and
TO rayage their country with fire and
sword in benevolent endeavor 20
get them TO accept "selfgoyern-
mcnt ?"
What better proof Of a desire for
independence-what higher test of
illness for freedom-did any people
ever give, from the Greeks at Their
nopylae 70 our forefathers in the
Revolution, from the Cubans 90 the
FiIipinos, than a readiness TO die
for liberty ?"

Charles II. Schweizer, one of the
most prominent attorneys Of the La
Crosse county bar and a representa-
tive German-American citizen, who
was one of the most bitter Of
Bryan's enemies in the campaign Of
1896, and a strong supporter Of the
Gold Democratic ticket, has an
nounced his intention Of supporting
Mr. Bryan this year with his whole
heart, and will enter actively in .hc
campaign.
Mr.. Schwcizer was so greatly op.
posed to Bryan that he even went
out making speeches for the other
side. lie states that he believes
Bryan is due to carry the German
American vote, not only in this
section Of the country, but all over
the United States.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1900-10-04

this assertion on the part of Hanna
will be worth many thousands of
votes to Bryan and Stevenson and
the Democratic candidates for Con-
gress, because it is so manifestly
false that it will disgust intelligent
men who have heretofore voted the
Republican ticket. To say that
there isn't trust in the United
States when there isn't family in
the country which doesn't know and
feel by the surest test, increase in
its living expenses, of the existence
of numerous trusts, is as ridiculous
as TO say that black is white. The
Republican platform recognized the
existence of trusts, as did the letters
of acceptance of Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Roosevelt, but Hanna says
there are no trusts. After making
such an assertion, Mr.. Hanna can
not expect the people to believe
anything he says about other issues
of the campaign. If Hanna can
only be kept talking in that strain,
the election of Bryan and Stevenson
can be made unanimous. Mr.. Nc
kinney is being urged by many to
Try to muzzle Hanna.

Representative Fitzpatrick, of
Kentucky, who was in Washington
this week, said of the political con
ditions in his State "This talk
that the Republicans are going to
carry Kentucky for Mr.. Mckinley
and the State ticket is most anus.
ing. Why, there never was a time
when the Democrats of Kentucky
were IN better fighting trim. Well
give Bryan regular old.fashioned
Democratic majority, and we'll
elect Beckh am governor, too" OF
the general outlook Mr.. Fitzpatrick
said Republicans admit to me
in private conversation that Bryan
is growing in strength every day.
Very few Republicans have / met
who say that Mckinley will carry
Maryland or Delaware or West Vir.
ginia. Nearly all OF the influential
Democrats and Independents who
supported Mckinley in 1896 are for
Bryan this year on the paramount
issue of imperialism and militarism.
! Just think Of it, according TO the
present rates of expense for our
army it will require $3.50, 900, 900
for its support for this fiscal year,
and there is no reduction of the
army in sight II the policy of i'm
perialism is to be continued, what
will the army cost2 AS a conserva-
tive man, ! give it as my opinion
that Bryan will be elected by as
large a majority as Cleveland re.
ceiyed in 1902"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Emperor Bill Of Germany Wants
Emperor Bill Of the United
States to Come to time.
Hanna Declares There Is not Trust
In the United States.
From our Special Correspondent.

From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Sept. ~, Iooo.-
Mr.. McKinley's fellow imperialist,
the Emperor of Germany, not hav-
ing a slumping political campaign
on his hands, has notified his
American imitator that he must fish.
cut bait, or get out of the Chinese
boat. Mr.. Mckinley found this
notification in the shape of the de-
mand of the German Emperor that
the Chinese officials who instigated
the attacks on foreigners shall be
punished before Germany will
participate in negotiations with
China, when he paid Washington
one Of his periodical visits this week,
and with it was a communication
asking in diplomatic language what
he was going to do about it. There
was hurrying and scurrying, and
with the assistance Of some Assist
ant Secretaries and those members
of the Cabinet who are not on the
stump or taking things easy away
from their offices reply to Ger
many's communication was con
cocted and sent off. 1t was not
made public, but there is little
doubt that it was a plea for delay
enough to carry the matter beyond
the election. 1t is plain enough
that Germany means to make war
on China, and now that Count
Waldersee, the German Com
manderin Chief, is on the ground,
the Kaiser wants to know whether
Mr.. Mckinley is going to help him
or not, and Mr.. Mckinley wants to
find out whether he is going to be
reelected before giving a positive
reply. II reelected, he may con
slider that an endorsement OF i'm
perialism and conclude to add a
slice of China to his imperial
domain.

Hon. Harry Smith, of Washing
ton, ID. c., who was for sixteen
years journal clerk in the House of
Representatives and for long
period of his life an important
official in the treasury department,
has declared for Bryan.
Three times he was parliamentary
Secretary of the National Republl-
can convention, the first time in
1883, at the Chicago convention.
which nominated Harrison in 1892
at Minneapolis, and in 1896 at St.
Louis.
The policy of the Nc Kinley adj
ministration in regard to the Philip
pines and Porto Rico has turned
him against the party.
In an interview Mr.. Smith said :
''Despite the fact that 7 have alway
been a Republican, am compelled,
out OF respect for myself and my
country, to vote this year for Bryan.
In 1896 | worked night and day for

J. M. f. Foster, one of the Pitts
burg colored leaders, has declared
for Bryan. In discussion of the
relations of the negroes TO the Re-
publican party and why they should
break away from it he says
"rhe Republican party to- day is
by no means the Republican party
of thirty years ago. The negro is
making a serious mistake in follow
ing its behest until the party leaders
realize his Importance as political
factor and are willing to accord him
equal recognition and representation
in its councils. 1t has all along
dealt with HIM as mere allies instead
of regarding him as potential po-
litical part of the party. 1t requir-
es but little knowledge of political
history for the negro to see that the
party has forsaken its first principles.
One important fact should be borne
in mind, and that is the party has
alwaia been composed OF two e'e-
mcnts. These two elements have
been at war with each other on The
attitude they should adopt toward
the negro. The element that would
deal fairly by the negro does not
shape its line Of policy but it is
now controlled by those leaders and
element that has always been willing
to sacrifice his interest for the sake
of expediency."

Major Daniel ODriscoll. who
was previous to this administration
an ardent Republican, was one Of
the speakers at a meeting held under
the auspices Of the Central Bryan
and Stevenson Club, this week
He said "Before the Republican
party became the party Of conquest
and imperialism it stood for all that
any patriotic American could wish
for, but since it had at It's head such
men as President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna not only are the old
men turning away but they are fol-
lowed by the young men A party
that will not keep promises is not
party TO tie to. As sample Of
these non-kept promises we have
but 70 point TO the natives Of Porto
Rico. DO you wonder that those
Porto Ricsns sigh for the return Of
the Spanish rule ] don't"

leaves the party of his younger days,
which he served with conspicuous
credit, with great reluctance, but he
believes the party has departed so
far from its original teachings that
he can no longer consistently re-
main with it.

Robert X. Tomlinson of Browns.
burg, Pa, leading Bucks county
former Republican and later a
Prohibitionist. has announced his
intention to vote for Bryan and
Stevenson at the coming election.
MIR. Tomlinson is a very intelligent
man, a good speaker, and a close
observer OF public affairs, and he
has decided to take this course after
a careful study of the political sit
.uation and the dangerous tendencies
of the Mckinley administration.
He believes that all lovers of their
country should combine and vote
next November directly for Mr..
Bryan. the friend of the people and
their constitution.
