Il
look upon them as recent
developments OF modern Industry, with
some bad points and many good ones,
and they propose TO study them with
view to doing away with the bad feat
ures while retaining the good. The
republican party lie opposed to vicious
monopoly and can be depended upon to
do all that 10 possible to do to control
the trusts and prevent abuses.
AS regards the questions Of "imperia-
lism," and "militarism," the repub-
lican party can afford TO dismiss the
ransings of the Brysnites as the
merest folderol, q creation OF self
seeking politicians for campaign
purposes only. After the election no
more will be heard of either of these
tissues" Expansion" Is quite an
other thing. Commercial expansion Is
necessary to the life of the nation, and
the republican party believes in It.
Territorial expansion Is not ''policy"
with the republican party. The
administration 10 today doing al
IL can to settle the various questions
arising out Of the Spanish war in the
best way. The presid emit has no power
to settle the destiny OF the Philippines.
That question rests entirely with con-
gress, which must take the responsible
lily upon itself. The presidents duty
In the present juncture is olear-it
consists In putting down armed insur-
rection within the limits OF territory
OF the United States.
The protective tariff has been adopt
ed by people of all parties ss an Ameri-
can policy. 1t is no longer Q matter
for partisan contention. and while IL 10
one of the cardinal principles OF re-
publics nism, no democrat any longer
dares TO lift his voice against the policy
that has made the United States the
greatest industrial nation in the world
today.
What have the Brysnites, who call
themselves democrats, to show, ss
against the positive and progressive
policies OF the republicans? They have
free silver and population, fiat money,
death to banks, concentration Of the
vast financial power that now rests In
the hands of scores of thousands OF
business men OF all parties and beliefs,
into the hands of one man, who NAV
be O man OF violent partisanship |
and INSCRIPTIONS methods. The Bryan
ties, or democrats" would have the |
country try the fatal experiment that |
has brought the curse down upon every
nation that has ever tried 1t, and upon
every individual as well--theenaeavor to
make some thing out of nothing, TO get
rich by printing paper with green Ink.
The Organizes believe In making the
courts the sport OF politicians, In rob-
bling them of all the stability that comes
of their separation from the other de-
partments of the government. The
Bry antics would do away with the
nice balance Of power that now exists
between the three grand divisions OF
the national government, and which has
been so closely guarded and so pre-
cisely observed by the present presi-
dent.
The Organizes believe in "smashing"
all Industrial organizations, without
which this country could never have
attained the high plane, industrislly,
she occupies today. The republicans
seek to regulate and control them, sift-
ing the coed from the bad. The
Organizes adopt policy with re-
gard to the administration OF
our foreign possessions that In
my other country would be regarded
IS trsitorous, and In this free republic
10 mighty bad taste, to say the least.
They encourage the enemies Of the
repu bile, and lsud those who murder
Dur soldiers. They advocate a policy
Of treason and cowardly shrinking
from national duty. |:
The Organizes seek to destroy, cut
away, fall back. avoid, misrepresent,
hamper, overturn, while the repub-
Iicans, with clear cut views that mean
prog ress and besterment for all men
and for the nation 1t large, 60 serene
" on in the consciousness that their
rigbtness will be recognized and ap-
proved by the people OF the country.
With such q set OF Views as these,
there will certainly be q realignment
Of parties, but the republican party
will los scarcely a moiety Of its sup
porters, while democrats will out loose
from Organizes and either help 70 form
Q new republican party or will organ
lie q new democratic party that will
turn Its back on Bryan and all he
