In his speech before the McKin-

Hanna said there are no trusts. What
will the poor fellows do who have
been accusing the democrats of being
members of trusts?~ Will they admit
they lied, or will they charge Hanna
with having lied dubuque Herald.
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Hanna
all poohpooh the idea of there being
trusts. Perhaps they will do the, same
as to such protests as are now being
made against the coal trust in Penn
sylvania. They may prove like the
fellow who belittled the deluge when
it set in and said it was merely a
shower.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

evening and we pay them an extra
piastre (21a or five cents), and some-
times young mothers come with the

One thing has saved Egypt. and
that is the absence of coal. It costs
too much to bring it there for it to
pay to Introduce factories on large
scale. But there is plenty of coal in
the Philippines. Coal can be had at
the entrance of the mines in Japan
for 13 cents a ton, I am informed, and
it will be as cheap in the Philippines.
With coal at this price, with girls and
boys ready to work for 1914 cents
day, what is to prevent the immediate
flow of our capital to these islands
and the Inauguration of competi-
ton such as we have never known
before?
Either wages will fall here to the
12%-cent level or our factories will
be moved bodily to our new posses
sions and our working men left to
starve.
Bishop Potter, of New York, has
just been in the Philippines, and he
tells us that the Filipino takes kindly
to our factory system. Poor Filipinos!,
So do mice take kindly to cheese in
trap. The system will prove curse
to them as it has already proved to
the girls of Mansourah and at the
same time that it will impoverish our
American wage-earners at home. It
may be said that the natives are not
forced to work. But this is not true.
When their cupidity is not sufficient
to make them toll, means are found
to compel them. This has already
been done in the mines of South AT.
rica. and the British government i'm
poses taxes upon the natives there
with the avowed object of forcing
them to seek employment in the mines
for the purpose of raising money to
pay the tax, that being the only way
open for them to earn money. The
same plan will doubtless be adopted
by our capitalists in the Philippines
it it turns out that Bishop Potter is
mistaken and that the Filipinos do
not take kindly to factory work. sz@ IS
We are told that we ought to es-
tablish a stable government in the
Philippines. That is precisely what
we ought not to do. It is the lack
Of stable government which prevents
capital from going to countries where
people are willing to work for. starv-
alton wages. Il is an automatic ar
rangement of nature that in unciy-
ilized or partly civilized countries
franchises and monopolies are not
we'll enough protected for capital to
risk itself. II this were not so, ali
manufacturing industries would seek
at once the country Of cheapest wages,

ed to control the trusts proposed
by them at the last session of Con-
gress. He declared that it was
never intended by the leaders of
that party that the amendment
should pass. 1t was proposed for
use in the campaign only. 1t was
so framed that it destroyed the
powers of the States to control
corporations within their bound
aries and was drawn purposely so
that it would not receive Demo
cratic votes sufficient to pass it.
The antitrust bill. passed by the
House received nearly the entire
Democratic vote after they had
made vain attempts to amend it to
make it effective. 1t had, then
gone to the Senate and, although
nearly the entire opposition agreed
to remain in session until the bill
was passed and received the sigma
ture of the President, it was con-
signed to the legislative graveyard
and would never be heard of
again.
Mr.. Newlands paid a glowing
tribute to the character, ability
and patriotism of Chas. A. Towne
and stated that he had voted for
him for Vice President because of
these qualities. Towne was closer
to Bryan than any ather living
man and was his sincere and ar
dent admirer. Towne's abilities
and services in the cause of re-
form were freely admitted by all
the delegates to the conventicn,'
but the feeling against both can
didates coming from west of the
Mississippi was too strong to be
overcome and Stevenson was nom-
mated. In this nomination Mr.
Newlands heartily acquiesced, al
though he thought Towne's nomi-
nation would have made a closer
union of all the reform forces.
Mr.. Newlands next turned his
attention to the condition of poll
teal affairs in this State and urged
that all the forces opposed to the
administration unite. He said
that the Republican managers
would have at their command mil
lions of money to corrupt the peo-
pie. Opposed to this pocket argu-
ment would be appeals to the rea-
son and the love of liberty of the
people.
He thanked the people of Ne
vada for their kindness to him in
the past and announced himself
as a candidate for reelection aud
a candidate for United States Sen
ator two years hence. He was
conscious of the liberality of the
people of Nevada toward him and
would like to continne in their
service. ...
Mr.. Newlands was in most parts
we'll received and made a marked
impression upon those who heard
him. Especially is this true of
the parts relating to the Philippine
war and the trusts.-/ndebendenf

perpetuity of the institutions of
the country. The planks relating
to Imperialism and militarism were
most warmly greeted by the peo-
pie.
Mr. Newlands next took up the
Cuban war which was entered up
on as war of humanity and not
one of conquest. The solemn faith
of the country was pledged to re-
tire from Cuba as soon as the
Spaniards were driven out and
the country pacihed. This pledge
had not been fulfilled. Porto Rico
had come to us by the consent of
her people. They had welcomed
our generals with open arms, yet
the Porto Ricans were treated not
as citizens, but as subjects of an
empire. Taxation without repre-
sentation had been forced upon
them. Had Congress foreseen
that the Philippine islands would
have come to US as result of
the Cuban war the same declara-
ton would have been made in re-
gard to them that was made in. re-
gard to Cuba. Instead of estab-
fishing peace in the Philippines
the administration had entered
upon a bloody, cruel war of con-
quest, in which the people strug-
Cling for liberty were being sub
jected to a merciless war of crimi-
nal aggregation. The Philippine
war is not one of which this
country could be proud. The
reading of the plank in the pit
form in relation to the Philippine
war evoked an outburst of en-
thusiasm which continued for
twenty minutes. There was no
contention in the Democratic ranks
that the United States should inn
mediately withdraw from the
Philippines, leaving the island in
state of anarchy, but there was
demand that the Filipinos be
permitted to establish a stable
government of their own and that
the United States protect it against
the aggressions of foreign govern
ments when once established.
Mr.. Newlands next discussed
trusts and declared that the Demo
cratic party was the only party
that would over write an effective
law on the statute books to control
them. If these immense aggre-
cations of capital were allowed to
continue unchecked, they would
soon control the hours and wages
of labor. This could be done by
closing a factory in one section to
bring their workmen to terms,
while they raised the prices of
their products to make up their
loss. One State has passed laws
to protect the trust and the other
States were at the mercy of the
trust organized in their trust-pro-
tecting State. This was one of
the great evils of the time and yet
Mr.. Hanna declared trusts to be
good thing to have" The Demo-
cratic party took different view
of the situation and proposed to
stretch out the strong arm of the
government to protect the people
against the greed of these aggre-
cations of capital. The Republi-
can party does not intend to carry
out their platform declarations
against the trust. This was pro-
we'd by their insincerty on the
Silver question. 1t wouid gradu-
ally evolute from trust opposing
party to trust protecting party

BEGINS MS CAMPAIGN.


Hon. Francis u. NewlandS was
received with applause. He be-
gan by stating that he was one of
the delegates elected by the Demo
cratic State Committee to the
Kansas City convention, which he
characterized as the grandest
political convention ever held and
that no event in the history of the
Democratic party has engaged so
much attention. The Nevada
delegation selected him as its rep
resentative on the committee on
resolutions, and he took an i'm
portant part in framing the plat
form. The committee sat for
twenty-four hours. Imperialism,
militarism, trusts and the money
question were the great issues be-
fore the committee. There was
no material difference on the sill
yer question. Delegates from the
South were in favor of a mere re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform
while others favored a specific
declaration in favor of free coinage
at the ratio of I6 to I. He in
clined to the view that special
declaration was not necessary and
would ALLEVIATE the German vote OF
the middle West who were OPP
posed to McKinley's Imperialism
but were afraid of I6 toI. On
this question Mr.. Bryan felt in
tensely and insisted that there
should be a reiteration of the de-
mand for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of I6 to 1, independent
of the action of any other govern
ment. If no specific declaration
were made the enemy would
charge the party with evading the
question and the friends of silver
would consider it weakness. He
adopted Mr.. Bryan's views and
fought for the resolution reitera-
ting the demand of the Chicago
platform, which was finally adopt
ed. The platform as adopted
might not control as many votes as
it would if there had been lodging
on the silver question but a great
moral victory had been won. The
votes of some timid men might be
lost, but the votes of independent
men, who admire honesty and
courage in candidate, would be
won. Bryan's stand on the silver
question was sure guarantee to
the people, that if elected Presi-
dent, promises made by him would
be carried out.
Mr.. Newlands stated that he
suggested the plank in the plat
form in regard to water store for
the reclamation of the arid lands.
He declared it much better for the
people to spend $4,000, 900 in de-
veloping the arid lands of the
United States than to spend $780,
100000 and sacrificing thousands
of lives to build up an empire
1000 miles away from our shores.
The platform when adopted by
the committee was read in the
convention by Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, whom Mr.. New
lands declared, to be one of the
bravest, purest and most unselfsh
patriots in the country. The read
ing of the platform produced an
outburst of enthusiasm never be-
fore equaled in the history of
political conventions. The re-
ception of the platform by the
Philadelphia convention was an
iceberg to that accorded the Demo
cratic platform at Kansas City,
