1t turns out that Bishop Potter is mis-

take kindly to factory work.
We are told that we ought to estab-
lsh stable government in the Philip
pines. This is precisely what we ought
not to do. It is the lack of stable gov
ernment which prevents capital from
going to countries where people are
willing to work on starvation wages.
1t is an automatic arrangement of ma
ture that in uncivilized or party civiliz-
ed countries franchises and monopolies
are not we'll enough protected for capi-
tai to risk itself. II this were not so
all manufacturing industries would
seek at once the country of cheapest
wages, other things being equal, and
the starvation OF the home populations
would follow. 1t is best for the world
that the government Of such countries
should not be too stable and by in
sisting upon stable government in the
Philippines we are doing our best to
throttle our, own industries.

monetization of silver to the issuance
OF legal tender greenback. Thirty
one Democrats voted against the issu-
ance of the peoples money; seven sat
in their seats and did not vote. Two
voted for the people. Yet this is the
party that appeals to Greenbackers to
help them "save the greenback." And
many of these same men are today at
the head Of the Bryan Democracy.
The money question in this nation
is not question between metals. It
is whether the people shall issue and
control the money, or whether the cor
porations shall have this prerogative.
The people can never control their
money system until we adopt the
greenback, full legal tender paper mon
ey, as provided for in PETERS bill. And
the people never need expect to get
greenback from party which calm
ly sat with majority in the senate
and voted down by such an over
whelming majority a bill to issue a
modest sum of greenbacks, replenish
a depleted treasury, prevent the issue
of bonds, give new life and stimulus
to trade and industry, and set the men
who were made tramps by the Cleve
land administration to work. A vote
against PETERS amendment was a
clear vote between the gold standard,
between stopping silver coinage and
issuing greenbacks. This is page Of
Democratic history which shows the
true inwardness of the party when it
is in power, and also shows the people
that they need not hope for relief from
that party.
And while we think of it, it must
not be forgotten that Adlai Stevenson.
the present nominee of the fusion par
ty, was vice-president of the United
States at that time, and presided over
the senate when the poor greenback
went down before the gold standard
by the vote of 81 Democrats.
Yet some people tell us we ought to
vote for Adlai and the same old par
ty that killed the greenback, to get
greenbacks.'
Two hundred and fifty millions in
greenbacks issued at that time would
have saved the issuance Of that amount
Of per cent bonds, which run 40 years,
the interest paid in advance every three
months. This interest will amount in
40 years to s4OO,OO0,OOO. But as the in
terest is paid quarterly and in advance,
society will lose the compound interest
on the sum, which will run up into the
billions.
Not only would the issue of these
greenbacks have saved this enormous
sum Of interest, but it would have ad-
ded to the price of every product of
labor, and brought millions into the
pockets of the producers of this coun-
try. 1t would have opened the mills
! and factories and employed the idle,
and closed the Cleveland soup houses.
Yet this Democratic senate calmly
voted to destroy the peoples silver
money rather than to issue these
greenbacks and liberate and save the
| people. This is history. Read it to
your Democratic friends and save it
| for reference.

Address Is Issued by EdmistOn and

1t now seems that much of this dis

efforts made by ]. H. Edmiston and J.
A. EdgertOn, as vice-chairman and sec.
retary respectively of the national fu-
sion committee. to bring the fusion
Pops completely within the ranks of
the Democratic party.
This has, Of course, brought out some
vigorous opposition from such well

pediency," were willing to accept Bry.

The address was issued all right, but

with 1t were Edmiston and Edgerton.

soothe the sore spots In the fusion or

and now Mr.. Washburn and Mr.. Ran
kin have stated positively that neither
they nor Senator Butler will sign the
address as issued by Edmiston at
Democratic dictation. That means
that these really big men are on the
eve of severing their connection with
the dying Democracy and returning to
the fold of the real Populist party.
There is actually nothing in the ad-
dress to recommend it to Populists, and

The system will prove curse to them
as 1t has already proved to the girls Of
Mansourah, and at the same time it
will impoverish our American wage
earners at home. 1t 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 Africa and the British govern
ment imposes taxes upon the natives
there with the avowed object of fore
ing 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

The Effects of Imperialism Upon

BY Ernest H. Crosby.)


The effect upon wages of annexing
new countries overrunning with the
cheapest kind of labor is evident
enough to anyone who will consider
the question dispassionately, but per-
haps a brief account Of what 1 have
seen with my own eyes in Egypt may
serve to illustrate it. We hear a great
deal of the political benefits conferred
by the British government upon the
Egyptians, but little or nothing is said
of the industrial results OF expansion,
and yet these results are most i'm
portant.
Some years ago while was living in
Egypt l visited the cotton mills at
Mansourah, the commercial center of
the cotton region. These mills are own

italfsts and operated by native labor

While in Chicago we attended the

gratifed to learn that so much was
being done by the party this year, and
that throughout the country, except in
two or three states. like South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebras-
ka, there was no fusion sentiment
whatever, and besides an electoral tick
ct was already in the field in almost
all the states. It is gratifying to know
that the fusion devil has been COM

THE FARMERS.

Although there has been no avowed
candidates for any Of the Offices on the
Democratic state ticket, it was
well understood that the gov
ernor had long ago selected the
slate, and his own acceptance of the gu
bernatorial nomination was made con-
ditional upon absolute and total COM
pliance with his wishes in nominations
for the rest of the state ticket, and for
congress, in the various districts.
Everyone present at today's conven-
tion must have been impressed with
the agricultural character of the con-
vention. 1t was called at time when
the farmers of the state would be in at
tendance on the state fair, and it was
advertised as distinctly agricultural
function. The campaign of 1898 was
made as serial story of promises to
the farmers, and the farmers ought to
be satisfied with the array of agricul-
tural talent that swayed the conven-
ton, directed affairs and enforced the
orders Of Gov Lind.
The principal farmers in attendance
and in charge of affairs were T. D.
O'Brien, the distinguished attorney Of
the Omaha road, who has dictated 60
per cent of Gov. Lind's appointments;
L. A. Rosing, dealer in boots and shoes
and political patronage; John A..

Lind boom in Washington county and
