mittee, who came here taking bread
out of the mouths of honest labor,
voted at the last election at the die
tation of Mckinley's supporters.
These foreigners comprised fully one
half the number of votes received by
Mckinley"
And then on this basis that the re
publican party owed success in 1896
to ignorant foreigners" Chairman
Jones proceeded to hold out the hope
of success in 1900.
Can there be any doubt" he asked.
''as TO which shall prevail, the six and
one-half millions of intelligent Bryan
voters, or the three and one-half mil
lions of ignorant foreigners who voted
for Mckinley"
1t will seem to sensible people AL
most incredible that the chairman of
the democratic national committee
could make such statements in a pub
lie speech. But Hon. James X. Jones
did it.
More than two months after the
election of 1896 he uttered the asser-
tions quoted.
The occasion was no less serious
than an address before the legislature
of Arkansas. Senator Jones had Just
been elected to his third term in the
United States senate. On the Goth of
January, 1897. the senator appeared
before an informal joint session of his
state legislature at the capitol in Lit
tie Rock. He returned his thanks to
the people of Arkansas through their
representatives, the Legislature, and
then he proceeded to discuss the de-
feat of Bryan, speaking as the chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee and the head of the manage
ment of the democratic campaign He
said that he "believeu devoutly that
Bryan had been elected and was
swindled out of the presidency"
He declared his belief that in 1900
the bimetallic forces would win a
great victory" This s,ul makes 16 to
! the paramount issue.
He reasserted his conviction "that
the principles he spoke for were alb
solutely essential to the welfare of
the country" That is 16 to /.
The senator spoke for over an hour.
Running through his speech were two
principal thoughts. One was this
idea that republican success had been
achieved through the ignorant for
eigners." a result which the senator
resented in the name of the native
southern population which was more
American"
The other central idea with the ser
ator was the injustice of the unequal
distribution of wealth. Upon this he
dwelt with almost the emphasis which
he gave to the ignorant foreigners .
"What has been the cause of this
great struggle?" the senator asked.
The people are as honest and as
industrious as they ever were. What
then was the matter? The last cer-

WHERE THEY COULD DO HARM.
Free Trade and Free silver Hidden
Away Under Anti-Imperinl-
ism Howl.

In his speech accepting the populist
nomination for president Bryan tried
to Justify the Cemocracy's successive
changes of paramount base from
free trade to free silver and from free
silver to free slaughter--called anti
imperialism the ground that sys-
TENS of taxation can be changed with
less difficulty than financial systems,
and financial systems can be altered
with less danger and less disturbance
to the country, than the vital doctrines
upon which free government rests.
In such a suggestion of the COM
parative ease with which both free
trade and free silver can be accom-
plished through democratic victory,
Bryan admits something dangerously
| suggestive of truth. He practically
| states that the democracy need not
| fight especially just now for either
! free trade or free silver, because if a
victory be won for ''anti-imperialism'
| both free trade and free silver would
be easy incidentals to such victory. AS
matter of fact if Bryan could be able
| by his election to the presidency TO
accomplish his ''anti-imperialism"
plank by alternating our territory, he
could accomplish just as easily both
| free trade and free silver. If repuD-
| lican senate woulCs be a barrier to free
trade and free silver it would also be
a barrier to his schemes for uncon-
stitutionally abandoning the territory
belonging to the United States. If
| BRYAN tried to get the senate to rat
| ify treaty with Aguinaldo surrencer-
| ing American rights and the rights OF
our Filipino allies, and also new
treaty with Spain absolving US from
| our responsibilities under the old
treaty. it would take two-thiros vote
| of the senate each time. Bryan worked
| hard to get the necessary two thirds
| vote for the treaty with Spain by
| which the United States came into
| possession of the territory he now
wants given away, ana he was sue
| cessful in his work. TO undo that
work he would have to strive great
| deal harder. TO get free trace bill,
or a free silver bill through, he has,
however, only to get a majority of
| votes in the house of representatives
and the senate. If the democratic
| party can get the control OF both
| branches of congress. that wouiG en-
able it to fully carry out Bryan
| "paramount'' anti-American policy IN
| the Philippines, it would also have the
power to still more easily carry into
| effect the unparamount free trade and
free silver features of Bryan's pro
| oramme

cessitates a perpetual debt" when ev-
erybody knows that one of the main
efforts of the republican party, and
one of the most successful, has been
to reduce and refund the debt handed
down from a democratic administra-
ton. Why is it that Bryan makes
these extraordinary assertions? Be
cause he was talking to populsts
who will believe almost anything. and
yet, speaking to such hearers, he
had to lead their minds away from the
fact of an addition of over eighty mil
lions to the currency in the last year.

(From the address of United States
Senator James X. Jones, chairman of
the democratic national committee,

"Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners, who were here taking
bread out of the mouths of honest la
Dor, voted at the last election at the
dictation of McKinley's supporters.

These are the words of the man
who conducted the democratic cam
paign in 1896. The same man is the
present chairman of the democratic
national committee. He owes his po-
sition to the wish of Mr.. Bryan.
The language quoted above was

that the southern people rank fully

southern people are more completely
Anglo-SaXon than those of the other

At this point the chairman of the
democratic national committee made
one of the most remarkable of this
series of startling statements for Ar
kansas consumption. He illustrated
his assertion that the southern people
are ''more American" than the rest of
the country in this way:
"It took the people of the con-
bined north and east four years to
conquer the southern people and TIE
latter had built for them a pension
list that was appalling"
The senator's speech bristled with
assertions intended to incite the spir-
it of class prejudice. He said:

the same bush. When you make a
millionaire you make dozens of pau
pers."
