strength. His parliamentary knowl-
edge is unrivalled. The Republi-
cans fear him, and have striVen
in every way to hurt his reputation.
Blu! the futile attempts they have
made to besmirch him. are the best
evidences Of his unsullied charac-
ter, and unassaIlable probity. He
has many able lieutenants, the
learned De Almond, the stalwart
and fearless John J. Lentz, that
Rupert OF debate, William Sulzer,
and a host OF others. Should the
country rise to the magnificent op-
portunity given it to put Bryan in

The Evils or Imperialism.

Mr.. Bryan's suggestion in his
letter to the President OF the Ger
man Sucieties oil New York is
worthy OF the most thoughtful con
sideration, not only of our German
speaking citizens. but OF all those
who, while approving the para
mount plank in the Kansas City
platform, yet disagree with Mr.
Bryan on the coinage question.
"Any evils" he says, "that might
follow from the free coinage Of
silver can be corrected more easily
than those which follow from inn
perialism and militarism."
In the first place, no matter how
sincerely the advocates Of silver
might desire to bring 1t to the front,
with the certainty ot a hostile SEN
ate for some years to come, the
silver question can at most be but
a theme, a theory which may be
argued, but respecting which
affirmative legislation will be inn
possible. Ii the free coinage theory
is false one the truth will sooner
or later be accepted. Fallacy will
not bear the light OF long contin-
ued investigation.
Why, then, it may be asked,
may not the results Of imperialism
be corrected if they prove injuri-
ous7 The answer is plain. The
history of the rise Of empires and
the fall Of republics abundantly
shows that the founders Of these So
called "strong governments" have
not been actuated by the consid-
Grafton OF what was best for the
country. 1t were useless to con-
vince them that arbitrary monar-
chical power is uni ust to the people
and subversive o. their rights.
These promoters ot empire have in
all times been chiefly concerned IN
the aggrandizement in wealth and
power that would accrue TO tn sm-
selves. The problem is not one OF
right or wrong, but OF power.
So. with the spirit OF the people
deadened by a continu alton Of au-
tocratic rule; with the Execu-
rive entrenched behind an enor-
nous military establishment, it is
easy to ioresee that popular gov
eminent, resting on the expressed
judgment and will of the people,
will soon become a reminiscence
Of the past. The ruler tor the time
being may at intervals, perhaps,
consent to abdicate, but the abdi-
cation will be in favor Of some iaV-
orite, and the dynasty will con
tinue. Other republics have re-
manned republics in name long
after every vestige Unpopular con-
troll had vanished.

The Platforms ana the Men.

1t is always pleasing to find ones
views expressed by others. This
is especially so when the opinion
comes from an independent source.
And the contrasts between the
platforms and candidates OF the
Democratic and Republican
parties, respectively, are so clearly
and comprehensively, yet con
cisely. stated by the Washington
mirror, that it affords us much
pleasure to reproduce the article.
1t says:
The platform adopted at the Kansas
City convention IS a document far in
advance of that promulgated at Phila
delphia. There is no mistaking which
way it points, Il is written in such
torceul language that all who read il
can easily comprehend what it means
There are no meaningless platitudes in
it. II is bold; courageous, and treats
every issue in business like manner
The platform adopted at Philadelphia
was negative in expression except on
the question OF finance. The Kansas
City document is positive and leaves
no dodbt as to the position taken by the
party upon all national subjects. The
one at Kansas City was written by the
people. The one at Philadelphia was
written by corporate greed. The two
platforms reflect the character OF the
Presidential candidates. BRYAN, bold,
honest, fearless, possessing the courage
OF his convictions Mckinley, weak,
temporizing vacilIating, a weak candI
date in the hands oi designing men who
care not for their cOuntrY's good, but
for self aggrandizement.

Republicans against the Beers.

II there ever was doubt in the
minds OF any observer that the
present Administration was allied
secretly with England against the
South African Republics, it must
be removed by the fact that the
National Board oi Education has
been caught red-handed recently
distributing documents. tTaducing
the Boer cause, an account OF
which we publish on our third
page. The recent attacks on the
Boer Committee in this city may
be traced also to the Republican
National Committee. They 6nd
that one oil the blacklist spots, and
that is saying a great deal, in the
history OF the Administration, is
its eowardly anil unnatural alliance
with a monarch, our hereditary
enemy, against the existence oil
two little republics, founded on
our model, and brought into being
by our example. The Admins
tration has not even remained
neutral but has openly violated
international law in the intensity
Of it's desire for England's triumph.
This was to enable England to
join in the combination against
Russia, our lifelong friend. The
mental and moral depravity OF the
Administration in thus violating
every principle Of honor and graf
itude can only be accounted for by
the debauching influence OF COM
mercialism applied to politics.

Full Dinner Pail OF the Workman

Full Dinner Pail OF the Workman.
The Republican party three
years ago deluded the working.
men throughout the country on
the question OF the "full dinner
pail" They forgot to say anything
about the increased price OF the
contents.
In his tin bucket a workingman
with a good plentiful dinner usu-
ally carries a pint of sweetened
coffee With milk, few slices of
buttered bread and meat, and, il
he can afford it, an apple or bit Of
fruit OF some kind.
When the Republican party took
the helm OF state the promised
change in the wages and the menu
oi the workingman did not take
place. But there was an alarming
and characteristic Ghange in the
price Of his dinner.
In the first place the Tinplate
Trust raised the price OF his pail.
The Coffee Trust tilted him a few
cents, and the Milk Trust followed
suit. the Sugar Trust, not to be
outdone in practical Republican
ism, extorted its mite from the
owner of the pail.
His meagre slices OF bread were
raised in price by the Flour Trust,
and his tough slices of meat were
Sc asoned with an additional charge
by the Beef Trust. The Salt Trust
furnished his salt at advanced fig
ures, and to endure all this God
gave him patience and a good
appetite.
The country was prosperous.
and shis was the workingman's s
share OF the prosperity. His din
ner pail was full, and his wages
were the same, but the amount he
had left in his pocket after paying
for his dinner was considerably re-
duced.

Are we Nursing a vIperq

An exceptionally serious point
in this Chinese uprising is the
danger Of the movement Of the
anti-foreign crusade extending to
the Chinese who live abroad. In
the Philippines there are at the
present moment several hundred
thousand Chinese, and it is no ex-
| aggeration to assert that to a great
extent they monopolize the trade
and industry OF the islands, con-
stituting the predominant factor
in the economic welfare Of this
American dependency in the
Orient. In Tong King. Anam,
Cambodgia and Cochin China, the
Chinese may be numbered by the
millions, and the same is the case
with all the English possessions in
the tar East, especially in the
Straits Settlements. There is not
a single European bank, or house
Of business throughout the length
and breadth Of Asia, that does n t
employ Chinese compradores as
its cashiers, in so far that all deal
ings with native producers and
traders are carried on through
them. In Australia the Chinese
population is so great that excep-
tional legislation on American
lines has been inaugurated in order
to put a stop to their immipration.
True, the loyalty and good will Of
all these Chinese settlers abroad
to the land OF their adoption, has
never until now been called into
question.
But supposing that the yellow
Peril foreseen by the Kaiser ten
years ago, and then ridiculed, be-
comes an even still more grim re-
ality than it is at present, and that
not content with driving the for
eigners out OF China, il sweeps
across the boundaries of the en-
pire, preparatory to overwhelming
the remainder Of Asia and Europe
as il did in the early periods Of the
Christian era, then the presence Of
all these Cinnamon in the colonial
dependencies of the Christian pow
ers-Chinamen who hate the white
man quite as much as those who
have remained at home-will con-
stitute an even still greater peril
than that by which we are now
confronted.

A MIsht Candidate.

OF all the misit characters who
have appeared in American Ma
tional life, perhaps none has ever
been so out of place and out OF
tune as Theodore Roosevelt as
Vice President. The position is
one that requires dignity and con-
servatism. He is possessed OF
neither A collegiate by accident.
he is cowboy by nature, as in
deed he is by preference. Fam
tastic in appearance, egostistical
in opinion, erratic by nature. in
ordinately ambitious, and willing
ito wade through slaughter" to
satisfy his ambition, he is one Of
the most dangerous charsc cters that
has ever appeared in the republic.
AS Civil Service Commissioner
he failed to show even a capacity
for small things. AS Police Com
missioner he exhibited the densest
ignorance OF human nature in
general, or Of the community over
which he had authority in particu-
lar. AS an Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy, he was reshve and inter-
iering. In the Cuban war he was
actually insubo dinate.
Pretending to be independent in
politics, he called on Boss Platt, to
secure the nomination for Cover
nor oi New York. Posing as a
purist, he utterly failed to bring to
justice the canal ring that had rob-
bed the State. Heralding far and
wide that he would not accept the
Vice Presidential nomination he
was all the while seeking it. With |
some reputation as an author, his
utterances to intelli-
gent audiences on the Strenuous
life" OF men and nations are little |
short Of ridiculous. AT this time,
when wars and rumors Of wars are
in the air, when the wisest hardly
know what will come next, when |
the Republican candidate tor Pres
ident happens to be a man Of small
mental calibre, of no moral STAN ma,
Of circumscribed Information, sub
to any influence that he
thinks will continue him in power,
and therefore Vacillating in pur-
pose, and irresolute in action, a
mere petty politician drifting with
the tide, we needed a strong,
steady, conservative man for Vice
President. Roosevelt was not |
selected because Mckinley liked |
him but because it was thought |
that he would infuse a sort OF pyro-
technic enthusiasm into the cam
paign. But are the American
people to be caught by that chaff2 |
Are they so indifferent to the grave
issues at stake, the abandonment
OF their ideals, and the plunging |
into colonialism, with it's horrors
ofwar abroad and consequent mis- |
cry at home, as to follow the lead |
OF Pecksnifffor President, simply |
because he has a Wild West per-
former for his running mater We
think not.

MR.. JAMES S. MANNING'S GRAVE
CHARGE.

The GOLD LEAF has a very high re-
gard for Mr.. James S Manning, of
Durham; but Mr.. Manning has evil
IDENTIFY permitted his zeal to get away
with his judgment, if he ha. been ac-
curately quoted 10y Hebster's Weekly.
That paper says:
MIR. Jas. S. Manning, of Durham,
gentleman OF the highest integrity,
and a Democrat. made the Statement t
in the public prints only few days
ago that every county chairman in
the State except two eNacted paw for
distributing Gen. Carr's tickets"
That is very grave charge and
we would not believe Mr. Manning
the author of it upon testimony less
worthy of credibilitv. We did not
see the statement referred to, and
while we do not question that we do
question its truthfulness. We know
the county chairman in Vance (Mr.
r. :. McCoin) did not exact paw for
distributing Gen. Cars tickets" and
we do not hesitate to say that we be-
lieve we could name number of
other. who did not. Furthermore,
not a few of the chairmen we're Carr
men, And surely they did not exact
pay for handling their candidates
tickets. But Mr.. Manning says all
except ttco did, according to Web.ter's
Weekly. That is to say IS of the 81
county chairmen, Democrats though
they are. were so unfair. partisan and
corrupt as to exact pay for distribu-
ting the tickets of fellow Democrat.
We do not believe it.
II there were tro out OF the ninety
seven their names ought to be made
known and they should be deposed as
unworthy and unfit 10 hold such DO
sition in the community. Therefore.
lest he be accused of bearing false
witness against his neighbor the
GOLD LEAF calls upon Mr. Manning
to prove the charge he makes or,
honorable gentleman that he is, re-
tract with due apologies. He owes
it not only to himself but to the two
county chairmen excepted that he do
this.
