tits not at all surprising that
the nimble Bryan is squirming
away from his anti-expansion rec

goes against Bryan.s- appetite, :.
Bryan is a statesman of fine dis

Of THE TRIBUNE,

Editor of THE TRIBUNE, sE
! have read
your able article in The TRIBUNE
Of December 80, and along the
same line, would like to say that
in the treaty with Spain the Unit
ed States agreed 10 establish d
gool, staple government in the
Philippines and give to Spain the
same trade privileges we our
selves enjoy. AS an honorable
nation, we must carry out the
terms of the treaty. If Bryaa
should be electedGcd knows
he does not stand a ghost of a
shoW-but il he should be elected
the would be obliged, under the
treaty, 10 do exactly what Me-
Kinley is now doing. 1t is non-
sense to talk about turning the
islands over to Aguinaldo. The
trouble with him is that he has
squandered the money he received
for selling out his country before
and now wants more; but Uncle
T.
Sam is not in that kind of business.
If the Philippines were turned
over to Aguinaldo today he would
massacre every native that had
shown any friendship for the
Americans and kill every white
man on the islands, would loOt
every institution that had a dollar
and in less than twelve months,
other powers would seize the
Philippines and divide them among
themselves. These powers would
establish government and the Unite
ed States would be laughed az by
the rest of the civilized world. 1t
Is foolishness to talk about throw~
ing away, in this fashion, the
fruits Of the victory Of our brave
soldiers and sailors. We must
keep the Philippine Islands and
establish there a good, staple, hr.
name government. When the
Main was blown up, we urged
Congress and Congress furionsly
urged Mckinley to declare war
on Spain and abused him because
he did not move swifter. Now,
some of the American people are
kicking and bowling like mad be-
cause Mckinley is honestly doing
what the American people COM
mandcd him to do.

limbarger cheese that strength
which suggests death and decay.
Party organization is harmoni-
ous.' No doubt Of that. There
is only five or six oft. aEnthus-
iasm prevails and the prospect
for party growth is exceptionally
bright, Your sincerely, G, j.
Basset, chairman. That settles
il. There meyer was party
with more room for growth. In
kootenai county, it is only a speck
on the political horizon; in Sho !
shone, it has been chewed up by
anarchisrn; in Latah, it has flick
cred its last flicker; in Nez Perce,
there is not a breath Of it left
since Mr.. Manning repented; in
Idaho county, it has gone into
galloping decline; in Lemlli, it is
weak but hopeful; in Washington,
the bell is tolling its parting knell;
in Boise county, the microbes Of
disintegration are getting in their
deadly virus; in custer, even Mil
ton B. Brown has given up the
ghost ofa hope; in Canyon, it is
full of possibilities and racked
with distempers; in Ada, it is nix;
in Blaine, the day of the funeral
has been definitely fixed, SO in
Fremont; in Elmore, it survived
until Flenner laid loving hands on
it; in Bingham, it finds its last
hopes and only solace in Nc
fuckers butcher shop; in Ban
mock, it found a. peaceful grave
without a single nourner, save
Arney who found a comforter in
the bosom Of Steunenberg; in
Owyhee, well in Owyhee, Hutch
inson says it has a very bad odor;
in Cassia, it was lost some time
ago and nobody cares enough
about it to advertise for it,; in
Lincoln, it gave few kicks and
expired; in Bear LAX, the breath
of life went out of it when Gus
Sponberg let go, and in Oneida
county it is dead and forgotten,
10, these many days. That is in
detail the exact condition of the
party which julie Basset says is
strong in all The counties, fired
with enthusiasm and sustained by
exceptionally bright prospects.

which, il would gladden. the
! hearts Of 10000 human beings,
and then returned to the melting
pot because # had passed the linn
i Of liberation. Being ID a math-
ernatical mood, we continued to
figure. in this way: If our half
dollar changes hands 100 times a
year, and we consider that as
/ quite easy going, t will pay fifty
dollars Of debt each year, that
means that fairly active, sound
| az healthy four bit piece has the
| capacity to do fifty dollars worth Of
business a year. Scientific writ-
ers would say that fifty cents has
az annual commercial potentiaIity
Of $50. We think they would
say something about that size, but
are not sure Of it. Anyway, four
bits will do fifty dollars worth Of
business in a year. That is easy
enough to understand. Well,
then, one dollar will do $Ioo
Of business in year; one million
dollars will do 100 millions, and
one billion dollars will do 100
billions of business. According
Eto the report of the Secretary of
the United States Treasury there
is now in circulation over two
bil lions of dollars, say even two
bl lions. Then if that money is
getting around fairly well; that is,
moving once in three and half
days. there is enough to do 200
billions of business a year. The
tdreign commerce of this country
has in the last year reached the
highest point in our history, name
ly. two billions. 1t is estimated
that the foreign commerce is only
5per cent of the whole of our
commerce, that means that our
h ome and foreign commerce COM
blned amednts to 20 billions. We
think it is more, so will put it at
S 5p, billions. Now, according TO
our calculations we have in this
country money enough to do four
times as much business as is be-
ID g done, provided the money is
healthy and gets around as it
ought to do. Anyhow if we fol-
low this line of thought we wifi
be convinced that quantity is not
IL only thing to be consideredin
trying to solve the money ques-
ton. Speed is mighty impor-:
tant factor. A dollar that has a
Ii 1vely action and changes hands
twice week is better than five
Il =
slow plugs of dollars that loaf
around changing hands only once
a month. Dollars are liable to
q 1ove around pretty lively when
t heir owners have confidence that
when once started out they will
return promptly in good sound
condition. Dollars do not move
rapidly, though, when there is a
lack of confidence, and the fear
that when they return they will
be emaciated. There is a whole
lot to this money question in the
light of cur four-bit piece which
has, been swinging around the
circle for ~ years. Sit down and
figure it out. u .'@@s-.@f~ '

to the front in splendid shape.


TO the front in splendid shape. Al
present the growth in Fremont il
probably the most notable. Ban
mock is waiting only the opening
of the Fort Hall reservation to
enter upon an era Of unprecedent-
ed development. The people Of
| that county feel confident that be-
fore the present Congress ad :
journs, their hopes will have
reached fruition. Senator Shoup
has secured a favorable report in
Congress on the reservation bill
and there does not now seem to be
anything much in the way Of fav-
orable action. The political sit
uation, as Mr.. Morrison found it,
is most encouraging from a Re
publican point of view. The Sill
yer Republicans have practically
disorganized, the individual mem
bers returning TO the Republican
party. One of the principal
causes of Silver Republican dis
bandment is the attitude Of the
Democracy and the leading fus-
ionists, such as Towne and Du-
bois, on. the question ofexpansion.
Silver Republicans very generally
sustain the Republican policy in
relation to Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands, They are
fully alive to the great CONNER
cial advantages which will accrue
to the West by retention of the
Philippines, and they are not af-
.fected by silly scntimentalism
which pictures the. United States
as tyrant bent on subduing and
destroying a helpless people. Mr..
Morrison thinks that the senti-
ment among Silver Republicans
and Republicans is all but unani-
NOUS that the factions should be
reunited and again working
shoulder to shoulder for the gem
eral good. Although, himself
representing the. Republican Or
ganization, he was everywhere
met with cheerful cordiality by
Republicans of both classes, and
without distinction. AS occasion
presented, he discussed the politi-
cal situation indiscriminately with
Republicans and Silver Republi-
cans, and feels that nothing is
needed to effect perfect reconcile
alton and reunion but continued
fair and upright dealing. Mr. :.
Morrison is outspoken and
straightforward in his efforts to
bring about a good feeling and the
establishment of confidence among
all classes Of Republicans. He
believesthat the general sentiment
is such that this. will not be: a diff
ficult thing to accomplish. He
believes that never before was
the party SO harmoniously.. and
generously inclined as at present.
His trip was altogether pleasant
and gratifying.

copy OF ule Basset's address to
the Silver Republicans Of Idaho.
It occurs to as ttliaat, Jale' y address
is unable to find an addressee shat
is 10 say, II has been addressed to
individuals who have ceased to
get their mail at the Idaho post
Offices. The copy we have re-
ceived is neatly elnbellished with
double underscoring in red ink,
giving the,whole 4 forceful, rubric
expression Of countenance. It is
altogether an attractive and inn
pressiye document, worthy TO be
tied up inblue ribbon and buried
in casket, with appropriate GER
emonials, in the tomb OF its en-
balmed authors. The first reform
inaugurated by the fusion, and to.
which our particular attention is
directed by red lines, is the ua-
disputed claims that "obsolete'
laws, seriously efecting the States
finances, were put in force. Yes,
we think there has been a great
stirring up of "obsolete" laws, and
it is fortunate for the people that
more Of them could not be un-
earthed. This churning up from
the bottom Of the scrap heap has
cost the taxpayers right smart.
Next, we are directed to carefully
note that "The gold standard, un-
less it is resisted to the last ditch,
win be irretrievably fastened upon
our people, with all its train of
direful results" We thought we
had resisted to the last ditch.
We thought the direful results
were here in force. When we
saw the. factories open, the idle
men rolling up their sleeves and
going to work, business reviving
in every direction, foreign COM
merce outstripping everything
ever before recorded, money in-
creasing in activity and quantity,
and prosperity smiling on the
land, we sighed and in our heart
of hearts said, -ah, they have come
at: last; the "direful results" of
sound money and protection are
onto lis with both feet, ,1o to I is
undone, and we heaved another
sigh, because all our hopes were
blasted. our argument smashed,
and our pride of opinion stabbed
TO the vitals. We felt like saying
with julie, "The people of the
State cry out against it, and the
.indu:trial classes of the Nation
raise their voice in protest" We
felt like saying that; but our
tongue Glove to the roof of our
mouth because it had not trained to
lie 20 magnifcently, SO majestical-
ly SO wildly and promiscously.
Says. julie: ss"The wheat growers
of Idaho feel today the distressing
consequences of monometalism."
Yes, ah, yes; that's so. They've
got it, too. They are turning
! their wheat into hogs and sheep
and wool and beef and chickens
and eggs and butter, and getting
q dollar a DuShel or more tor 1t,
when it is only worth so cents in
the raw. ''Our party" says julie,
has no greater mission to per-
form than to assist in saving the
State and nation from the pending
alamity." Poor thing, The
pnly thing in all the broad land
put of a job. awe should
herish the principle of fusion" |"
