at distance from foreign eonten-
TtiOns, the paths of industry, peace
and happiness, of cultivating general
friendship, and of bringing collisions
of interest TO the umpirage of reason
rather than of force. How DESTROYS,
then, must it be in q government like
ours TO see it's citizens adopt individ-
ually the views. the interests, and the
conduct which their country should
pursue, divesting themselves of those
pa ,sions and .partialities which tend
to lessen useful friendships and to en-
barrass and embron us in the calamit-
Gus scenes of Europe.
We are firmly convinced, and we
act on that conviction, that with ma
tons, as with individuals, our inter
ests, soundly calculated, will ever be
found inseparable from our moral
duties, and history bears witness to
the fact that just nation is trusted
on its word, when recourse is had
to armament and wars 10 bride
others.
George Washington have al
WAYS given it as my decided opinion
that no nation has right to intermed-
die in the internal concerns OF another,
that every one has a right to form and
adopt Whatever government they like
best to live under themselves.
Separated as we are by world OF
water from other nations, we shall, il
we are wise, surely avoid being drawn
into the labyrinth of their politics
and involved in their destructive
wars.
America may think herself happy
in having the Atlantic for barrier.

Hanna at Chicago.

Chicago. Special.-Senator Hanna
Tuesday night made his first address
in Chicago since his return from New
York. He spoke at noon meeting Of
the commercial men and retail sales
men. The hall where he spoke was
filled, not few women being in the
audience. Senator Hanna spoke in
part as follows:
1T is encouraging for me to see that
the business interests and the work
ingmen of the United States are awak-
ening to the Importance Of the issues.
Every Democratic issue that has been
presented to the American public thus
far has been for the purpose of leading
astray the minds of the people from
the real issue. There is but one issue,
only one-the issue OF prosperity and
the continuation Of it. The issue to-day
is Just what it was in 1896, only more
so. The question is, do the American
people want as a foundation for their
interest sound money and protection
to American interests and American
working men?
Il do not want to talk about imperi-
alism, my friends. That is played out.
1t is bugaboo. 1t was intended to de-
ceive the American people. 1t is an
impossible issue; it is fraud. 1t is a
humaug to talk about the American
people resolving themselves into an
empire or that man with the reputa-
ton. with the character and ability Of
William Mckinley would be an En-
peror.

BRYANS SPEAKING TOUR.
I8 Speeches to Wisconsin Farmers In
One Day.

Lacrosse, Wis, Special.-When Will
liam Jennings Bryan concluded his last
speech mere he had made eighteen ad
dresses and had covered about fifteen
hours Of time during the day. Begin>
ming at S o'clock in the morning he
talked at intervals until II o'clock at
night, putting in all told, fully six
solid hours OF speech-making. The
region traversed is a rich agricultural
addressed especially to farmers, the
trust question receiving even a greater
share of attention than usual. At
Shakopee Mr.. Bryan said:
why is it that the Republican
party allows the trust to grow? Be
cause the Republican party is more in
terested in those who possess the or
ganized wealth Of the country than in
those who are contributing to the
large dividends collected by the trusts.
Why does the Republican party want
large army? They want it at home
to suppress by force the discomfort
which should be cured by legislation,
and they want at abroad in order to
exploit the Philippine Islands, and if
you will look up the record you will
find that the Republican member Of
Congress who stands at the head OF
the army committee of the House OF
Representatives is the president OF the
Philippine Lumber Development Com
pany, and they have already goEoled
up a lot of lumber lands and taken
control of the improvement in the
Philippine Islands. In their pros
pectus they say the labor question is
easily solved. There is plenty OF
Chinese labor. BY reading their pros
pctus you can see why it is that some
people want large army and imperial
ism, and while it is a good thing for
those doing the developing, it is
bad thing for the people who furnish
sons for the army and the people who
pay the taxes"
