KANSAS CITY, No., Jan. 1s.--w. ].
Bryan passed through Kansas City this
morning for Columbia, No. where he was
to speak this afternoon. Asked about his
interview in which ne was reported as ex-
pressing views favorable to expansion. Mr..
Bryan said:
st have not seen the interview as sent
out by the Associated Press I saw 1t as
It appeared in one OF the Minneapolis pap
ers and 1t contains some things l did not
say. have for one year been discussing
imperialism and I have tried to dstin-
kuish between such an extentson OF the ma
,tion's limits as would not change the
character OF the government and an ex-
pansion which converts homogeneous re-
public into a heterogeneous empire.
'sWhen the annexation Of any given ter
rftory is under consideration the question
IL first whether the people are capable OF
sharing in the government and destiny OF
the nation. I believe that all people are
capable Of governing themselves and that
the Fiiipinos should be allowed to govern
themselves, but I do not think they are
sufficiently advanced to share with US In
the government Of the nation.
IF the Philippine islands are annexed
the people there must either be citizens or
subjects. am not willing to admit them
a. citizens and do not believe that re-
public can have subjects therefore l want
this nation to give them Independence and
then protect them from outside interfer-
ence Each proposed annexation must be
considered upon its own merits. but In con-
sderlng these merits. the condition Of the
people should have more weight than
geographical position or commercial adj
vantage"

they are simply poison. but the onion does
not stand alone In this respect. Any arti-

The reason why any wholesome food Is
not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element OF
digestion; some stouachs lack peptones,
others are deficient In gastric juice. still
others lack hydro chlorIc acid.
The one thing necessary to do. In any
case of poor digestion is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
lacks, and nothing does this so thoroughly
and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to

AMERICAN SHIPPING BILL.
MANY ARGUMENTS MADE BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE.
ship Owners and Merchants Point
Out the Necessity Of Taking steps
to Have American Commerce Car
ried Hereafter I'm American ships.

WASHINGTON. jan. 1s-The senate
committee on commerce today resumed
Its hearing on the Hanna-Payne shipping
subsidy bill.
Mr.. Thomas Clyde, of the Clyde steam
ship line, was recalled. He took up the
cost OF construction OF vessels, their main
tenance and operation, showing that the
figures under the American flag were
much higher than under any other nag.
The cost of production for materials and
maintenance would, In his opinion. gradu-
ally decrease as the demand for them In
creased, SO that II by the enactment into
law OF the pending bill. the demand for
vessels should increase. as 1t naturally
would, the cost of construction would just
as naturally decrease in a brief course OF
time.
Mr.. Clyde safd that what It was de-
sired to do by the bill was to encourage
low speed vessels-vessels that would, at
a low cost, extend the American export
trade. Mr.. Clyde said that his company,
on the day the bill became a law. would
sign contract for the construction Of two
vessels to cost in the. aggregate about
$1,000, 1000 President Munson, of the Mum
son steamship line. had stated that his
company would place at least 100000 tons
OF shipping that was now under foreign
flags under the American flag He had no
doubt other lines would do the same
thing.
r. b. Thurber representing the United
States export association, said the uni
versal belief among American owners and
shippers was that this country must have
q merchant marine to export Its products.
The bill. he said, was a potent factor in
the interests OF the great masses OF labor
ing people of the United States
Mr.. Theodore G. Search, of Philadelphia,
president of the American Manufacturing
Association, maintained that the enact
ment of the pending bill would be of i'm
mense benefit to the manufacturers of
the country, would largely increase the
American export trade and would build
up a great shipbuilding industry, thus CIV
ing employment to tens Of thousands OF
persons. The United States. he said. had
great manufacturing export nations Of the
world, and 1t was desirable that our ex-
port trade should be carried in American
vessels.
Chairman Frye announced that the
hearing would be adjourned until next
Tuesday in order that some figures might
be prepared relating to the general SUBJ
tect under consideration. Up In the North
west, he said, considerable opposition to
the pending measure had been developed.
Mr.. James J. Hill. president Of the Great
Northern railway, who one year ago was
favorable to this bill, Is now in favor of
an export bounty. This was likewise true
of several important newspapers in the
Northwest and OF the Farmers Alliance
in the West. He had asked FORMER Sena-
tor Edmunds to prepare concise state
ment in regard to the operation of boun-
ties and he probably would have it ready
for submission to the committee on Tues
day next.
