DISCUSSES AMERICAN
DUTY TO The CUBANS

The recognition contained IN both the
Democratic and Republican platforms OF
the right of the CuDdns TO Independence
removes the general principle involved
from the domain of partisan politics.
IT Is proper. however. TO consider whether
the accomplishment of this purpose can
be safely eNIusted to the Republican
party after q has yielded TO the allure
ments of the colonial idea, and abandon
ed its earlier Faith In the natural and
inalienable rights of man.
The time is ripe for systematic and
extended effort TO reclaim the arid lands
and III them for actual settlers. The last
agricultural report estimates that homes
can thus be provided for many millions
of people The impounding and use of
the waters which are wasted IN the
spring would people The western states

citizens. and these would furnish Nalu-
able market for all the products OF the
factories. small percehtage OF the
money spent In a war OF eonquest Woulu

more people than would ever seek a
residence i'm colonies within the trcpics.
The reasons given by Washington,
Jefferson and other statesmen of the
early days i'm support Of the doctrine that
we should maintain friendly relations
with am nations. but enter into entang-
ling alliances with none, are even strong
er today than they were hundred years
ago. our commerce is rapidly increasing
and we are brought into constant COM
munication with gll parts of the world
Even If VIC desired TO do so, we could

that 10 is less necessary than ever betor,

we cannot connect ourselves with Eu
ropean nations and share in theil
ieulousies and ambitions without losing
the peculiar advantage which our loca
lion. our charaoter and our institutions
give us In the worlds affairs.

BAYS THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE CHANGED FRONT

Now the Republican party. for the first
|time, openly abaudons its advocacy OF
|the double standard, and indorses the
monetary system which it has so often
land so emphatically condemned. The
Democratic party. on the contrary, re-
mains the steadfast advocate Of the gold
ana silver coinage Of the constitution,
and rs not willing that other nations shall
determine for us tho time and manner
|Of restoring silver TO its ancient place as
a standard money. The ratio of l6 10
Is not only the ratio now existing be-
tween all the gold and silver dollars in
circulation in this country, a ratio which
even the Republican administration has
not attempted TO change. but IL is the
only ratio advocated by those who are
seeking TO reopen the mints. Whether
the senate now hostile 10 bimetallism,
can be changed during this campaign or
the campaign OF loy2 can only be deter
mined after the votes are counted, but
neither the present nor the future po-
litical complexion Of congress has pre-
vented or should prevent an announce
ment OF the partys position upon this
subject in unequivOcal terms.

sanction Of the executive and the Re
publican members Of the house and sem

Democratic party in 1896 1t was then

would attempt TO retire the gresnbacks

ously concealed their intentions That
purpose is now plain, and the people must
choose between the retention Of the
greenbacks. issued and controlled i'm vol
ume by the government, and a national
hanknote currency, issued by banks and
controlled i'm their own interests. If tho
national hanknotes are to be secured by
bonds. the currency system now support
ed by the Republican party involves a
permanent and increasing debt. and. so
