imperialists. If that is true the,

When Bryans talk of Imperialism

BRYAN has started on his campaign
stumpirg tour, against Republical
finance and 80 forth. If he woul'
give the history Of the Democrati
wild cat banking system that col
lapsed with rebellion, he'd be telliol
something worth knowing.
WHAT u sight: Bryan travelling ov
er the country liking about imper
ialism, royalty, kipgly form CT gov
ernment when all the facts in the sit
nation are that the war was Wa yeC
against The imperialism and the roy
atty and arbitrary government o
Spain.

to free trade and free soup houses
You can have the same state of af.
fairs by voting for Bryan and dem
ocratic congress. If you want free
trade and free soup houses vote for
Bryan. If you don't want free trade
and free soup houses vote for Nc
Kinley.
CANDIDATE BRYAN is just two hum
dred aud eighty years behind the
age with his sophmoric speech on i'm.
perialism. He should have been liv
ing two hundred and eighty years
ago when the May flow er colony land
ed in Massacbus. it's and the Captain
Smith colony landed in Virginia and
took possession of the land without
asking PEI mission Of the people of
this continent. It is pity for Bry-
an that he is SO far behind the age
IMPERIALrsM-royalty-the rule of
king. What man IN his sober mind
or sane mind believes that the Amer
lean people are in favor of establish
ing a kingly government. The
echo of the sound of the Amer
ican guns against Spanish king
ly rule have net yet ceased re
verberating around the world till
few b'atherskites start the CRY of i'm
perialism, royalty is not the govern
mental purpose of the American peo
pie.
The Mckinley admins ration lifted
the yoke of imperialism from the mil
lion and q hsIf people of Cuba; lifted
the yoke of imperialism off of the 10
million people of the Philippine Is
lands. Instead of giving credit to the
republican party With having broken
The power of European imperialism
in Cuba and the Philippine Islapds
and other islands of the sea, BRYAN
delivered en- address charging inn
perialism upon the republican party.
Does Bryan not know better or is be
presuming on the ignorance of the
democratic party
The republican primary elections
in Perry and Mifflin counties on
Saturday were animated on ac-
count of the earnestness of the con
testants for state and county Of
ices. The anti-Quay men carried
the nomination for Assembly in
both counties, also for state Senate.
The nominee for Senate in Perry
county is James W. Mckee. The
nominee for State Senate in Miff1in
county is Gruber II. Bell. The
district Senatorial Conference will
meet to nominate state Senator
in MiffiintOwn, Tuesday, August
2S, 1900. Each of the three coun-
ties in the district have a candi-
date for district nomination. AS
the conference will be two thirds
anti Quay the result is anticipated
and the nominee will be an anti
quay man unless as a poet long
ago said: ''The plans of men and
mice gang aft aglee.'
BRYAN's anti-imperiaIistic sopbo-
moric speech of acceptance will do well
to frame and hang on the wall In the
elub-room Of the anti-imperialistic So
ciety OF Boston. The eternal fitness of
things could there be made manifest
when the action of the first Boston set
tier Is read and painted and framed and
hung alongside of Bryan's deliverance
