dividual to have his rights respected

If a laboring man says that he does
not like the menace of a large army;
if he says that he does not like i'm
perialism, what is the Republican s
answer TO him? 1t is not the gold
standard, it is the gold dinner pail.
(Laughter)
The full dinner pail argument is an
Insult to the man who is complaining
that there are forces at work which
mean his destruction and the over
throw of the government he loves.
But the dinner pail is not always
full. Uaughter). l read in this
mornings paper, a Republican paper
at Chicago, an article which describes
a threatened strike in the anthracite
region, and l find the figures given
by member of the national board of
the United Mine Workers of America
now in session at Indianapolis, l find
the daily wages received by miners is
ninety cents, and one of them, Fred.
Dilcher, of Ohio, it was stated, spoke
for all when he said: ut is merely "a
question whether the men would starve

world Take the statistics furnished
by Dun's reports and you will find that

last year, and that every month OF

Spain found the tilipinos there,
went in with a club. beat them into
submission and then sat down, hold
ing the club.
We found her sitting there, paid
20 000, 900 dollars for the club and then
sat down there ourselves. (great ap-
plause). Is that your title? What ex-
cuse do you give for imperialism? l
have heard but three-that there is
money in it; second. that God is in
ii, third at we are in it and can't
get out of it. (Applause).
Republicans, you have got to give
up your flag argument. You have got
to take our flag argument. Our doc
trine is that the flag belongs to the
people; they can raise it whenever they
want to and take it down whenever
they get ready. (Applause).
Our plan is simple. Let us treat
the Filipinos as we promised the Gu
bans. We promised the Cubans that
we would drive the Spaniards out and
would give them their independence.
Let us say the same thing to the Fill
ipinos and then stand by them as an
elder brother and say to the rest Of the
world, hands off,
