And Now arha Herald >

The New York Herald is already finding
out (which way the wind is blowing"
Last Friday it surprised Wall street and
its usual readers Under the heading of
''The Fathers Expansion -AcKinley's I'M
perialism, /" it boldly declared
THE Democrats ought to be grateful to
the Republican National Committee for the
pamphlet on expansion issued last week.
ITO every impartial reader will oc-
cur the thought that the fathers of the Re-
public must indeed have been opposed to
everything resembling Mr.. McKinley's inn
perialism when diligent scrutiny of their
writings has yielded but these expressions
favoring only the peaceable acquisition of
contiguous territory with a view to its cree
tion into free and independent States
sThe fact that Washington INDUCED a
hope that Canada might yet be added to
the Union scarcely proves that he would
favor the forcing of an imperial yoke upon
the necks Of an unwilling and lnongrel
population at the other side of the world
In the nature of boomerang is the extract
given from Jefferson's letter to Madison, in
which, discussing the possible annexation
Of this same contiguous territory on the
north, he says we shall have such an en-
pire for liberty as the world has not seen.
Equally unconvincing are the long ex-
cerpts from Andrew jackson rejoicing in
the admission of Texas-an independent
State which voluntarily joined the Union
because it promises to enlarge the circle of
free institutions. The Republican National
Committee must have low estimate of
the intelligence Of the voters among whom
this pamphlet is to circulate if it fancies
that they viii mistake such approval of the
friendly extension of our continental border
for endorsement of the Mckinley policy
which sacrifices thousands of lives and hun
dreds of millions of money IN war of con-
quest upon islands at the other side of the
globe y

Prominent New York Merchant Another
Bryan Convert.

J. Ehrilch, one of New York S prominen,
business men, has been staunch Repub-
lican all his life. He was great admirer
of Lincoln, and always advocated the prin-
ciples of his party. Because he believes
that the Republican party is responsible
for criminal trusts, he intends to support
the Democratic candidates

has always been the heart, brain and
character Of the country, and now, under
the present system of concentration of great
wealth in the hands of few, is daily be-
coming less Of factor in this country. Not
only do the trusts control the great indus
tries Of the country, but they are by
bribery and corruption controlling the
different State Legislatures, Congress and
the United States Senate, and, in the last
Presidential campaign bought the Presi-
dency.
Furthermore, these criminal trusts in
many cases control the judiciary of the
nation.
''T'his can only be avoided by the cleo
ton of Bryan, who understands the needs
Of the masses and can be depended upon
and trusted as Lincoln was.
Mr.. Bryan is in sympathy with the
people in every part of the country

Representative VanDiver, Of Missouri,
has been investigating a cost Of government
by Commission, under the Mckinley admin
istration. Owing to mixed systems OF
bookkeeping he has only partially sue
ceeded, but he shows that more than two
and half millions of dollars have been
directly appropriated for commissions, not
including the Postal Commission, the
California Debris Commission, or the
Mississippi River Commission That the
expenses Of these various commissions have
been much larger than the direct appropria-
tions is certain, but the Treasury gives no
details. They are included in items which
appear on the books as for National De
Tense" Miscellaneous and Emergency
and which aggregate total expenditure for
the last fiscal year alone Of within frac

A Minister,s Good Religion.

Rev E. Emil Richter, pastor of one of
the largest churches in Paterson, declared
last Thursday for Bryan In letter he
tells why he now leaves the Prohibition
party In it he says
ITO my mind, Mr.. Bryan represents bet
ter than any Of the candidates for the Presi-
dency that which is righteous and patriotic
For this reason shall support him, for if a
ballot does not represent the conscietious
convictions and the patriotic desires OF the
voter it is cast in vain.
As matter of conscience / am unalter-
ably opposed to President Mckinley. He
has shown himself mere politician. He
has paraphrased Clay's heroic declaration, /
would rather be right than be President Ito
make his motto / would rather be Presi-
dent again than be right
i shall vote for Mr.. Bryan because he is
honest AID doesn't try to fool the people.
He can be trusted He will stand BY the
common people, whom Lincoln loved. No
consideration Of wealth or office can move
him from what he conceives to be his duty. .

At Auburn, Nebraska, Mr. Bryan put
these telling inquiries to the Republicans in
his audience
nYou Republicans who said that the
greenbacks saved the country when both
gold and silver left it, didn't it take you
several days to turn around to advocate
the retirement OF the greenbacks?
You Republicans who were boasting
that the party was paying off the national
debt, didn't it take you some time 10 turn
around 10 that position where you could
say that q permanent debt is good
fhing2
You Republicans that used to denounce
the trusts in the most vigorous language
didn't il take you some time to turn around
where you conId say that there are good and
bad trusts, and that the good trusts are
those which contribute most literally to
the campaign fund.-
you Republicans who for years have
been boasting on the Fourth Of July that
We had q country which did not need a
large standing army, don't you think you
will refuse to tHrn when the Republican
PARTY wants an army which is four times
IS large rs it was when this Republican
administration was elected in 1902
And don't you think that some of you
Republicans are IN a position where You are
