promise trem the right OF self-governmens
after Il stable Government Is established
there and let US make that promise now,
The National Republican Convention of 1885
was IN the hands OF the people. and 1t de-
clgred its sympathy with the struggling pa
triCts of Cuba in their heroic effort for in
dependence; but In 1900 the National Con-
venton had passed from the hands Of the
ps Gple, and was completely in the hands
of the inperla!istlc bosses OF the party. and
hence no word of sympathy was. or could
be- extended ~ , that convention lon for l,,tn, the
fight for independence and the right of self
government.
Peer of Any American.
"nIr Bryan is the peer OF any American
statesman now living. II he is not the
friend of the common people as against the
illegal agg-eGatious of wealth in the hosts
OF I'll" trusts. then the people have no
friend In pnlitica! life to-day. He believes
in and advocates the principle Of equal and
exact justice to al. with special privileges
TO none. He has been constantly before the
public for years. and no person has been
able 20 truthfully assail his character in
any way. \ man with such All enviable
character and advocating the principle of
equal ard exact Justice to ali, certainly
would make an IDEAL President.
NO one need fear him but the evil-doer
and the !aw-breaker, and such IL one would
find in him vigorous and relentless Zoe.
II seems 10 NE at this time that a vote
for The Republican national or congress
sonai candidates is vote for the trusts;
II is Il yOt" for government by injunction.
which is another name for government by
force; It IS a vote AGAINST the arbitration
oi disputes between capital and labor; 1t
IS 4 vote in favor of conquer.ng people by
military force, and OF taxing and governing
them without their consent. and against
their will. and that, too. with the declara-
ton that such people shall never become
citizens Of this country. nor their territory

that the United States shall forever hold
those islands as colonies winch Is imperial
ism.
NO political party In this country. no
American statesman ever before advocated
ouch n policy. II this IS not revolution. 1
am mistaken.
NO precedent can be found for such q
course in the history of this country, 1t is
directly opposed to the teachings of all
the great statesmen and patriots of tho
