The United States government is engaged in
stamping out the embers OF rebellion in Luzon;
and our men there are doing their duty under

The inSurection in Luzon has found its main.
stay in the encouragement to continued resistance
which the utterances Of certain American citizens
here at home have afforded to its leaders. Most

without official responsibility, like Atkinson and
Garrison and Winslow. A few, like Pettigrew,
hold federal Office without exerting much in.
huence on American opinion. But the utterances
OF even these irresponsibles and lightweghts
have served, as LaWton testified just before his
own death, to speed the bullets that have sent
our officers and privateS TO their grave.
And now the man who will be president OF
the United States II the Democracy wins this
election sends to the insurgents his message Of
hope and stimulus. "Keep up your fight" he
says to Aguinaldos Tagals. keep on shooting

home labor, n better chance to work

was 1919, 729, $50 greater than ever be-
fore and In manufactured articles
alone we sold to foreigners S92, ,60S,SOS
more than we ever sold previously in
one year. This trade was not at the

TO sell that much more abroad we did

Mr.. Bryan will tell you a lot OF
things about the cost of militarism, of
Imperialism, and so forth. 1t is ex-
penslve to make any kind of improve
ments. 1t is expensive to have good
flremen and policemen; to have paved
streets and modern sewers; in short,
to be civilized. But while these things
all cost, the real question is whether,
after all, they do not repay their cost
and whether we could get along with
out them. The United States. in look
ing for business throughout the world,
as 1t has the right to look, must ex-
pect TO pay the natural costs. 1t cannot
reasonably expect to get it's share of
the trade at some other nations ex-
pense. It cannot expect it's competi-
tors to do all the international police
work. to furnish all the warships and
all the soldiers; in short, to do the
rough work while yielding to 1t the
fruits. The United States is big
enough, rich enough, and, we think,
brave enough to tackle it's just pro-
portion of the common labors of civil
lization without whimpering or hy-
percritical regrets; and the laboring
man who does his own thinking Is
just the man to see how fair this Is
and how unfair and un-American
would be the contrary policy of scut-
tie.

Expansion and the Workingman.

at daily wages in the country will

uine workingman, who actually works
when he has the chance and is glad
both to get and to keep the chance
to work, is almost invariably the de-
clsive factor. What has the Republl-
can party to say to the workingman
this year?

: years ago and it has legislated so
" wisely that today confidence is re-
stored, the volume of business is unex-
anpled, the number of men with a

many per cent than It was under the
Democratic era and the wages paid
in most industries is perceptibly
higher. You have all seen the figures.

we spoke Of the Gazette as having sur
vived the three publications in North
eastern Pennsylvania in existence at

concerned this was doubly an error.
In the first place, the Advance was not

Wv vE CANNOT speak for
\N others, but for our own
part we do not relish
such literature as that
which has been published by the war
department in the form of transla-
tions of captured letters contributed
originally to prominent Filipino in
surgents by American members of the
Anti-Imperialist League. The letter
of Montgomery r. Leverson calling
Mckinley, Otis and all the American
troops in the Philippines pirates;
urging the Filipinos to capture an
American officer Of high rank and try
him for piracy; asserting that the
president of the United States and his
official associates are common liars;
melting the Tagal insurgents to
trump up stories Of outrages COM
mitted by American troops upon nom
cOmbatants and upon native women
for use in influencing public opinion;
and in short, giving every kind Of aid
and encouragement to an armed enc
my save. perhaps, actual money or its
equivalent, is a form OF Americanism
which does not jibe with the good,
old-fashioned conception of patriot
ism and loyalty expressed by stephen
Decatur when he exclaimed:
"MY COUNTRY, MAY SHE EVER BE RIGHT;
But, RIGHT OR WRONG--MY COUNTRY
Leverson is probably a man In his
dotage. lie says he is SO. A ma
jority of the active American allies
of Agunaldo, who openly boast of
their intrigues with the Filipino in
surgents, are men so far beyond the
period of physical maturity as to raise
charitable doubts OF their mental
health. From this standpoint the gov
ernments extreme leniency toward
them, while Of questionable wisdom,
ceases to be strange. But we trust
that the intelligence of the country
will not permit itself to be blinded
to the fact that this misdrected agi-
tatiOn by American civilians in be-
half of armed foes of the American
flag who by every device in their pow
er are seeking TO thwart It's mission
of justice and liberation has already
cost the precious blood of hundreds
OF brave American soldiers, from
Lawton down. and is today taking an
unnecessary toll of human lives, which
delays and embarasses, but can never
