The Evils or Imperialism.

Mr.. Bryan's suggestion in his
letter to the President OF the Ger
man Sucieties OF New York is
worthy OF the m ost thoughtful con
sideration, not only of our German
speaking citizens, but Oi all those
who, while approving the para
mount plank in the Kansas City
platform, yet disagree with Mr..
Bryan on the coinage question.
"Any evils" he says, "that might
follow from the free coinage OF
silver can be corrected more easily
than those which follow from inn
perialism and militariSm."
In the first place, no matter how
sincerely the advocates Of silver
might desire to bring 1t to the front,
with the certainty OF a hostile SEN
ate for some years to come, the
silver question can at most be but
a theme, a theory which may be
argued, but respecting which
affirmative legislation will be inn
possible. II the free coinage theory
is false one the truth will sooner
or later be accepted. Fallaey will
not bear the light Of long contin-
ued investigation.
Why, then, it may be asked,
may not the results OF imperialism
be corrected if they prove injuri-
ous1 The answer is plain. The
history Of the rise Of empires and
the fall Of republics abu ndantly
shows that the founders fthese So
called "strong governments" have
not been actuated by the consid-
Grafton OF what was best for the
country. 1t were useless to con-
vince them that arbitrary monar-
chical power is uni ust to the people
and subversive oI their rights.
These promoters OF empire have in
all times been chiefly concerned in
the aggrandizement in wealth and
power that would accrue TO thsm-
selves. The problem is not one Of
right or wrong, but OF power.
So, with the spirit OF the people
deadened by a continuation of au-
tocratic rule; with the Execu-
rive entrenched behind an enor-
nous military establishment, it is
easy to ioresee that popular gov
ernment, resting on the expressed
judgment and will Of the people,
will soon become reminiscence
Of the past. The ruler tor the time
being may at intervals, perhaps,
consent to abdicate, but the abdi-
cation will be in favor Of some iav-
orite, and the dynasty will con
tinue. Other republics have re-
mained republics in name long
after every vestige Unpopular con-
troll had vanished.

strength. Hisparliamentary knowl-
edge is unrivalled. The Republi-
cans fear him, and have striven
in every way to hurt his reputation.
Blu. the futile attempts they have
made to besmirch him, are the best
evidences OF his unsullied charac-
ter, and unassaIlable probltv. He
has many able lieutenants, the
learned De Almond, the stalwart
and fearless Tohn ]. Lentz, that
Rupert OF debate, William Sulzer,
and host Of others. Should the
country rise to the magnificent op-
portunity given it to put Bryan in
the White House, and Richardson
in the Speakers chair, new lease
OF life will be given the Republic,
and blow struck at imperialism
from which it will not recover in
the present generation.

The Platforms andthe Men.

1t is always pleasing to find ones
views expressed by others. This
is especially so when the opinion
comes from N independent source.
And the contrasts between the
platforms and candidates OF the
Democratic and Republican
parties, respectively, are so clearly
and comprehensively, yet CON
cisely. stated by the Washington
Mirror, that it affords US much
pleasure to reproduce the article.
1t says:
The platform adopted at the Kansas
City convention IS a document far in
advance Of that promulgated at Phila
delphia. There is no mistaking which
way it points. It is written in such
iorceiul language that all who read it
can easily comprehend what it means.
There are no meaningless Plautudes in
1t. 1t is bold; courageous, and treats
every issue in a business like manner.
The platform adopted at Philadelphia
was negative in expression except on
the question OF finance. The Kansas
City document is positive and leaves
no dOdbt as to the position taken by the
party upon all national subjects. The
one at Kansas CITY was written by the
people. The one at Philadelphia was
written by corporate greed. The two
platforms reflect the character OF the
Presidential candidates BRYAN, bold,
honest, fearless, possessing the courage
OF his convictions. Mckinley, weak,
tempOrizing vacillating, a weak candi
date in the hands OF designing men who
care not for their countrYs good, but
for self aggrandizement.

Full Dinner Pail of the workman

Full Dinner Pail Of the workman.
The Republican party three
years ago deluded the working
men throughout the country on
the question OF the "full dinner
pail" They forgot to say anything
about the increased price OF the
contents.
In his tin bucket a workingmau
with a good plentiful dinner usu-
ally carries a pint of sweetened
coffee With milk, a few slices of
buttered bread and meat, and, il
he can afford it, an apple or bit OF
fruit OF some kind.
When the Republican party took
the helm Of state the promised
change in the wages and the menu
oi the workingman did not take
place. But there was an alarming
and characteristic .hange in the
price of his dinner.
In the first place the Tinplate
Trust raised the price OF his pail.
The Coffee Trust tilted him a few
cents, and the Milk Trust followed
suit. The Sugar Trust, not to be
outdone IN practical Republican ,
ism, extorted its mite from the
owner OF the pail.
His meagre slices OF bread were
raised in price by the Flour Trust,
and his tough slices Of meat were
Sc asoned with an additional charge
by the Beef Trust. The Salt Trust
furnished his salt at advanced fig
ures, and to endure all this God
gave him patience and a good
appetite.
The country was prosperous.
and shis was the workingman' s
share OF the prosperity. His DIN
ner pail was full, and his wages
were the same, but the amount he
had left in his pocket after paying
for his dinner was considerably re-
duced.
