am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom Of one who thus far
in life has been a living expression, in
every address he has made Of that best
definition Of the essential elements Of
stump speech, namely, to claim every
thing and denounce well.
l am not unmindful Of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
requiring careful, thoughtful and states

evils to which labor II subject that need

prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital but in neither instance can they
be- dealt with to the good Of all by any
one who brings to them none Of the ele-
meLts OF statesman and all OF those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
l believe that more Of the remedy lies
without the pale OF enacted legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital Is benefited by public utter
ances on the platform, in legislative halls
and through the columns Of the press to
the effect that there is an irrepressible

do not believe any man benefits his
country being a preacher Of discon-

To the extent that they stand for funda-

The evils and burdens Of the present mo.
ment growing out Of the Spanish war

Bryan and his party as at that OF M.
Mckinley and his His explanation Of
his reason for wishing the treaty ratified

analysis.
Policy ON Philippines.
imagine that selfgovernment will
come quite as readily through the admin
istration Of Mr.. Mckinley as through
that VI Mr. Bryan. II will not come I'M
der either until the Philippines are fitted
for it, property rights safe and personal
ones protected. l hardly believe Mr..
Bryan could do more than send com
mission there, as the President has done,
in order 10 take steps looking to sup
planting the military government with a
civil one.
The country will not sanction the i'm
mediate abandonment OF those islands to
disorder and pi!!age. When time comes
that there is safety In a constitutional
home government, only remaining within
the sphere OF the influence Of the Unit
ed States, and public sentiment is to this
end, it can be put down that Mr.. Nc
kinley's administration will readily grant
1t, for l believe II is generally admitted
that no one is more ready to put himself
in touch with public sentiment than the
President. or act in accordance there
with with more alacrity. II Mr.. Bryan
means an immediate abandonment Of our
control In the islands he must certainly
fail Of support. for no thoughtful person
will sanction a policy which will make
the country ridiculous in the eyes Of the
world.
Would Not Trust Him.
II Mr.. Bryan and his party had stood
out as they should have against the Span
ish war and had opposed instead of as
sisted in ra,ifying the Paris treaty, they
would be in better position to confront
Republican plans and purposes, for they
would at least Ike consistent with their
action. As it is now, they urged the war
but now wish to avoid the consequences
in order TO gain political power by SO
doing. AS 1t is, don't see that Mr.
Bryan is less OF an expaDsionist. through
force Of circumstances which he assisted
In creating, than is Mr.. Mckinley. The
