ONE OF THE GREATEST sHAMEs
on RECORD.

Sooner or later the people mus
realize the stupendous biunder in
VOWED III the acquisition OF the Philip
pines. And yet persons who shoulc
be better informed are TALKING OF ad
vant4ges in trade that they fancy
must come from the possession OF the
Islands, overlooking entirely the i'm
mense cost Of keeping them.
Two years ago Senator Perkins
made a onses alive estimate OF slGo,
00O,000 a year as the cost Of keeping
tho Philippines.
a few months ago the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle showed that the total
exports from the United States to the
Philippines, during the last fiscal
year, outsi lie OK Army and Navy
supplies, amounted to only about
100000, this being no increase over
the American annual exports to the
Islands prior to the war with Spain.
1t Is a stupid notion at best that
ownership Of the Islands is needful
to secure their trade, such as it Is,
Spain owned them but neve had
more than about one-quarter OF their
trade, most OF it going to England
and other countries.
The Philippines have already cost
the United States, all things con.
sidered, upwards OF 500. 900, 600
The cost OF keeping them Is scarcely
less than $4,000 a day, a sum equal
to the value OF all our trade With the
Indians in a whole year.
The American people have already
been taxed TO the eI:e.. Of hundred:

DON'T BErRAT YOUR LEADER,

This is the last issue Of the ISpE-
PENDENT before the election. when
1t next makes it appearance the pee
pie will have chosen a President and
settled the policies OF the government
for the next four years. Momenrous
issues are at stake and upon their
wise settlement depends the future
greatness and glory OF the American
republic. On the one side stand all
those who believe in the living pm.
ciples OF the Declaration OF Indcpen-
dence, the control OF trusts and the
money Of the constitution. On the
other side stand those who believe in
the single gold standard, the substitu-
ton OF national bank notes for the
greenbacks, the beneficent rule Of
trusta. the governing OF people with
out their consent, the taxation OF the
Porto Ricans without representation,
tho holding Of subject colonies to be
ruled outside OF the constitution. and
who would change our republic into
IN empite, based upon force and eI-
tending its borders by conquest.
These tgo great parties stand be-
fore the people Of Nevada asking for
their suffrage. One is led by the
mstchless Bryan and the other by
Mark Hanna and President Nc
Kinley. Each Of these leaders is
represented in this State by Congress
sional nominees who endorse the
principles laid down in the Kansas
City and Philadelphia platforms.
Francis G.. Newlands represents the
principles advocated by Bryan and
E. s. harrington those represented
by Mark Hanna and President Nc
Kinley. a vote for either is an en-
dorsement OF the principles he sdyo-

ciples advocated by Bryan. they

date for Congress. For what will it
avail the Democrotic party il
Bryan is elected and both branches
OF Congress controlled by the Repub.
ican party? He would be powerless
to carry out the principles OF his
party and his administration weuld
be q failure. Can the Democrats of
Nevada be so recreant to principle as
to tie the hands OF their leader and
make h,m a mere fgure-hesd in the
government viii they vote to make
Bryan President and then nullify that
vote by voting for Mr.. harrington?

ports from other sections OF the State

lantly for the principles OF their
