STEWART IS RIGHT.
HITS THE DEMOCRATS IN THE
SOLAR PLExUS.
Says that the ''Anti-Imperiaiism" Plank
of the 1ans.s city Platform L. the
Acme OF Treason-Good Advice to
Voters.

Senator William NJ. Stewart OF Ne
vada called at Republican headquar-
ters at New. York August--20 and. said
he had decided to vote for President
Mckinley. He made a statement in
part as follows:
The United States went to war with
Spain. urged on by the Democratic
party. The popularity of the war was
such that Mr.. Bryan Joined the army.
The war was successful. q treaty OF
peace was. entered into whereby the
United States agreed to pay $40 .000, 900
and accept the sovereignty and public
property OF Spain in the Philippine
archipelago. There was opposition to
the ratification of the treaty. Mr..
Bryan came to Washington and per-
suaded his Democratic friends to vote
for the treaty.
The people OF the United States. and
particularly Of the Pacific coast. be-
came entitled to the vast commerce OF
the Pacific ocean OF which the Philip
pines furnish the key.
"One Aguinaido mad raised rebel
ion in Luzon against Spain before the
commencement of the Spanish war
with the United States. This adven-
turer had sold out or settled his rebel
lion with Spain for 100000 before
Dewey set sail for Manila. and as a
part of the bargain with Spain. Aguin-
aldo agreed to leave the island and
never return.
Dewey took the willy agitator back
to the islands. supposing. OF course.
that Aguinaldo would naturally be an
enemy OF Spain and friend of the
United States. In this Admiral Dewey
was mistaken. An organization was
formed in the United States called the
Anti-Imperialis League. which has for
the last two years co-operated with
Aguinaldo's Tagal junta. with head
quarters at Hongkong. to supply liter
ature and materials OF war for
Aguinaldo.
THE assistance and the encourage
ment he received from the Anti-lm-
perialist League and the enemies OF
the United States. both at home and
abroad. made his barbarous and irreg-
ular war bloody and expensive.
Mr.. Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form. and his insistence upon the adop-
tion of that platform at Kansas City.
Induced the people to suppose the cam
paign OF 1900 would be conducted on
the issues of 1896. In this 1t seems
they were mistaken"
Senator Stewart then quoted Mr..
Bryan's declaration of his intention. IL
elected. to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to give the Philippines
freedom upon the same terms as Cuba
He also denounced the recent conven-
tion of anti-imperiAlists at Indianapo-
lis. He also denounced Mr. Bryan for
promising to attempt to extend the
Monroe doctrine to the Orient"

CRIPPLED BY TREASON.

The United States has 63,0O0 soldiers
in the Philippines. 1t ought to be able
to send 10000 to China to rescue and
protect its citizens.
The troops cannot go because re-
sistance to lawful authority In the
Philippines is fostered by Bryan and
Organism, by the Kansas City plat
form and by such newspapers as urge
withdrawal from the Philippines. This
aid, comfort and countenance keeps
the Filipinos In the field. 1t main
tains resistance. 1t prevents pacifi-
cation. As General Lawton wrote, 1t
is the one encouragement to the rem
nants of Philippine forces to continue
a hopeless fight. They await the next
presidential election. They look for
an administration which will not en-
force the authority of the United
States in the territory of the United
States.
Yet those whose policy and politics In
this country reuder necessary O3,OOO
in the Philippines have the temerity to
urge the necessity of the presence OF
these troops in the archipelago as an
argument In favor of the very pleas
whose treasonous utterance fosters the
resistance which requires these troops.
But for aid and support in the Senate
opposing the ratification of the Spanish
treaty Aguinaldo would never have
fired on the American flag. But for
the mistaken hope of a Bryan major
ity this year the resistance begun last
year would never have been main
tained. But for the encouragement to
the Filipino bands in the Democratic
platform and Ia Democratic newspa-
pers these misguided men would not
still be in the field and the American
army in the Philippines could be re-
duced by 10000 men for use in China.

made a speech in 1854, which our In
dianapolis contemporary published
with editorial commentator. The
speaker said, among other things:
"More than 1900 years ago Rome
was governed by three men ut the end
of that republic. One was Caesar.
They We're all of noble blood. And
we, too, have our triumylrate-Lincoin,
Stanton, Halleck; but, unfortunately,
neither of them can boast Of very
high descent. The three succeeded an
emperor, who could fiddle when Rome
was burning. We also have our en-
peror, Lincoln, who can tell stale jokes
while the land is running red with the
blood of brothers.
1.-THE Democrats of to-day are using
the same argument, substituting the
name of Mckinley for that of Lincoln
and considerably omitting the refer
ences to stale jokes A few days be-
fore the election, in 1864. Mr.. Bryan's
indianapolis organ said in its editor
ial column:
"'Should Mr.. Lincoln be reelected
the revolution will be accomplished.
This will no longer be n republic OF
the United States, but consolidated
empire. Every safeguard must sooner
OF later give way. The limitations OF
the executive power will not be In the
constitution, but in the pleasure OF the
President. - We implOre patri-
otic and intelligent men to pause and
reflect and give their verdict on Tues
day next. If the people will not save
their priceless constitution and Union,
it is lost"
The Democrats come very justly by
their title of the "Bourbons of Ameri-
CO."
Like their prototypes in France, they
neither learn nor forget anything and
every campaign is but thrashing over
of the doctrines of retrogression which
they preached in some previous cam
paign. The sittings and surroundings
are sometimes changed, but the picture
Is ever the same.

JONES THE SLAVE OWNER

Many people have wondered why II
is that. while the Republican party
selects men OF affairs from the great
manufacturing and agricultural states
of the Union to manage its presiden-
tial campaign, the Democratic party
selects a man like Senator Jones.
from a state like Arkansas. to be the
head of its National campaign COM

owner and dealt in human flesh and

the Filipiros is only excelled by ad-
miration of the way that his dear
friend Aguinaldo and his Tagul asso-

ton.
But Senator Jones' principal quail
fication to head the Democratic ma

which undoubtedly led to his selection

southern state. and also that while all
the other southern states are progress

Ex-senator Lee Mantle, chairman of
the Montana Silver Republicans, is
willing to accept the declaration of
the Democratic platform that anti
Imperialism is the paramount issue.
He believes Mr.. Bryan when that
candidate argues that economic ques-
tions should not be pressed upon the
country to the exclusion Of those which
involve the very structure of our gov
ernment.
He accepts the dictum Of Mr.. Townc
that Mr.. Stevenson is n better candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
because he is Democrat by name and
profession as well as by holding its
principles and advocating its cause.
And in view of these beliefs he
makes the following declaration:
"To my mind, the paramount issue
to-day is the issue of maintaining the
honor and dignity of the nation and
the supremacy of its flag, wherever 1t
is rightfuIly floating. 1t is the issue
whether we shall preserve the fruits
of all the blood and treasure expended
and all the splendid courage ana pa
triotism exhibited in the cause Of hu-
manity and in the defense of undenia-
BILE rights and whether we shall res
olutely discharge the great obligations
which have developed upon us, or
whether we shall abandon our ad-
vanced position, throw down our arms,
cravenly hoist the white flag and ad-
NIT to the world that we are incapable
of solving the problems which con-
front u.s."
Why do not Senator Teller and Con-
gresham Shafroth follow ex-senator
Mantle's example?
The only possible reason is that they
are, like Mr.. Towne, Democrats, not

ing its principles and advocating its

because there are NO figures given:

Thus in four years. while the Unit
ed States has prospered and grown in
agricultural wealth. Senator Jones'
state has gone backward to the extent
OF u .063 1862. 1t is to be regretted that
no figures on swine are given for 1900.
But as the value of swine in Arkansas
according to the Department OF Agri-
culture for 1898. was 1859. .967. and
and In 1897 had fallen to 81. 1876. .361.
there Is no doubt that the omission
of the figures for 1900 Is charity to
Senator Jones' state.

233.616 horses In Arkansas, on Jan. l..

Under the above title the Chicago

editorial in its issue of last Monday.

was a rabid Democratic paper bitterly
opposed to Lincoln. To-day it is just
as rabid Bryan Democratic pape.
and opposed to Mckinley.
What it said In 1864 against Lincoln
it is now saying in slightly different
form against Mckinley.
The Times-Herald makes some inter-
esting quotations from the files of the
Sentinel of 1864, which we reproduce
for the edification of our readers:
''In July, 1864, the Bryan organ to
which we have referred said:
1.-The only hope Of preserving con-
stitutionnl liberty, the rights of the
states and restoring peace to the Union
is in the restoration of the Democratic
party to power. But let Abra-
ham Lincoln be elected for another
term, and what will be the conse-
quence? Four years more of abolition
war, national bankruptcy and then
European interference
Upon another occasion during the
same campaign the Sentinel asked:
"'Shall we profit by the teachings Of
history, and even by our own expert
ence, or continue policy that must
end in the overthrow of one of the
best governments that the world ever
saw. and Of civil liberty?
