COUNTY TICKET
WEBSTER DAVIS THIS YEAR AND
LAST.

In July, 1900, the Hon. Webster
Davis declared the Democratic plat
form, which made opposition to Presi
dent McKinley's Philippine policy
the paramount issue, to be "the mos
American platform" he ever heard
and Hoped to Democracy on the
strength of it.
On May %, 1899, as the principa
speaker at the great three days Peace
Jubilee in Washington, hedelivered an
Grafton from which the following ex,
tracts are taken.
Our war with Spain was right. Our war
with the Philippines is right.
y. Now, the question arises. shall we give
up the fruits OF that victory answer moi
Our only course IL to fight il through
The authority of the United States must
be thoroughly established and IL must be
thoroughly recognized by the Filipinos.
When this has been done we can treat
with them and treat them right. The lead
er OF the Filipino insurgents is but rene
gade-he does not representa- ma iority Of
the people OF the Philippine islands He
sold himself, once, for money and doubt
less would do so again Like some Ameri-
cans, ne is patriot for gold only.
AS result of our war with Spain to
bring freedom to race OF people in Sla-
very, our government was compelled To re-
ceive the authority surrendered in the
Philippines by Spain, whose sovereignty
there had been complete since the sixteenth
century. No other government in those
thority surrendered by Spain-every in
telligent person knows this to be fact.
Our government had TO accept and assume
this responsibility. To have failed to do
so would have made uS the laughing stock
OF the civilized world. And the result
would have been that those islands would
be surrendered by Us TO anarchy or to for
eign ana selfish intervention. Neither
course was comptJible with duty or with
the dictates of humanity.
TO surrender those islands would be to
smirch the glory of the matchless victory
of Dewey and his gallant men who in one
day opened the gates Of a new era for
our republican era that is destined to
be filed with mary ousaccompllshmentsi

ABUSE OF LINCOLN IN 1861.

Chicago Tribune: The Republican
national committee gets in a body
blow on Bryan in some of its recent
literature dealing with the consent of
the governed" dogma. 1t appears
that the perverted form ofthat doctrine
was urged against Lincoln in 1864 pre-
cisely as Bryan tries to use it against
Mckinley. That Lincoln was violat-
ing the Declaration of Independence
was the unceasing cry of the Demo-
Gratis, and they walled over imperial
ism louder than at present.
Everyone who has visited Washing
ton knows that the capitol is at one
end of the central section of Penn
sylvania avenue and the White House
at the other, so that it is common for
members of Congress to speak of the
President as 'the man at the other
end of the avenue" That is COM
mon expression and has been for
generations, but it was varied during
Lincoln's last year in the White House.
1.-The emperor at the other end of the
avenue" was tavorite Democratic
description of Lincoln at that time.
Senator Salisbury, in his speech in
the Senate on June 20, 1864 Congress
sional Globe, part 4, page 3,29s) }, said,
in discussing the Vallandingham
case:
Great God! A free American citi =
zen living in country the people in
habiting which are secured in their
rights by fundamental charter, a
charter which secures freedom from
arrest except by due process of law;
citizen of such country as that ar
rested by telegraph, telegraphic dis
patch from the seat of the emperor at
the other end of the avenue. y
| am also informed that a military
officer, has been here from Ohio for the
last several days waiting hour by hour
the command of the man who sits en-
throned at the other end of the
avenue"
That is rather worse than anything
said about Mckinley now. We are
only told now that Mckinley contem-
plates Imperialism, or that his policy
will result in it at some time in the
future, but Emperor Lincoln" was ac-
cused of having already reduced the
country from a republic to an empire,
and of already sitting enthroned in
the White House. In the same speech
Senator Salisbury remarked:
"We say to you as free American
citizens so 10 the polls, cast your
votes freely for theman ofyourchoice.
even if it is for Abraham Lincoln, the
man of all other men on the face of
Gods earth most unfit to administer
the affairs of the government.
The most bigoted advocate Of anti
Imperialism and little America will
not go that far in the denuuciation of
Mckinley now. History is repeating
itself in the cry of Imperialism, but it
hasn't the virulence now it had in
Lincoln's day. The national commit
tee is making some interesting contri-
buttons to the history Mr.. Bryan has
rather mistakenly tried to revive.

concerning them which will throw light on
this matter I should be glad to have it,
All told, ! have met on the railroad, dur
ing the last year, about 1000 men and boys
who claimed to be out-of- works and not
professional vagabonds or tramps. In say
ing that / have met them | mean that I
have talked with them and learned a good
deal about their history, present conditions
and plans and hopes for the future. They
talked with me as freely az with one Of
their own set; indeed, they seemped to as
sumo that | belonged among them. | have
made their acquaintance up to date in ten
different states, and in cities like New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore. Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, Cleveland and Chicago.
The most striking thing about them is that
the majority are practically youths, the
average age being about % years. both west
and east. or any 1000 out-of works fully
two-thirds we're between 20 and % years
old the rest were young boys under IS and
mature men anywhere from 40 to 20.
Beating Their Why.
Youths of all classes of society have their
wanderjahre and so much time during this
period is taken up with mere roaming that
it is easy to understand how many of them
must be without work from time to time. 1t
is also true that young men are more hasty
than their elders in giving up jobs on ac-
count Of some real or supposed %affront; life
is all before them, they think, anyhow, and

its premiums, is a direct tax on the individ-
ual policy holder who pays the premium
taxed
Advantage of National supervision.
National supervision would practically
demonstrate that the minimum of taxation
and the maximum of protection is of greater
import to the insuring public than to the in
surance corporations; that that which is of
itself d tax cannot be made to sell for less
by an additional tax upon a tax"
But federal regulation has been objected
to as contrary to the spirit of the cons,itl-
tion, and the famous decision of Justice
Field in the case of Paul against the State
of Virginia has heretofore barred the way
to such regulation. A contract of insurance,
however, has become an indispensable arti-
Gle of commerce and is a Subject of barter
and trade, as something having value"
When congress has declared that railroads,
telegraphs and banks can be regulated by
the federal government it is difficult to UNI
d~erstand why insurance also is not an article
of commerce and properly under the same
head. With the growth of our national
spirit We must look for our jurists and
judges to agree with Daniel Webster, who
said that the constitution must be read and
interpreted in the light of advancing years. ."
At the dawn of the twentieth century,
when the republic is taking on new life and
when the people are strengthening the bands
which bind the states together into one
mighty nation, can we not depend upon the
millions of insured men and women to so
instruct their representatives in congress
that they shall take measure to strike off
the letters which now harass the immense
business OF insurance, and by proper legis-
lation give the people of this country a uni

tudc have testified to this fact. We pub
lish a few testimonials of cures that have
been made through Wcltmerism when all
other curative powers had failed.
Y. r. Rodes. of Paris, Mo, the PrOsecut-
ing Attorney of Monroe county, suffered
for years with SciatiC Rheumatism. Tried
everything without benefit. Was instantly
cured through Prof. Weltmer's Absent
Treatment. Mr.. Rodes has recently won
fame as the attorney in the celebrated
Jester case. Mrs. c. r. Graham. of Boise
City, Iowa, was afflicted for nine years
with rheumatism; she could not walk with
out crutcheS: she paid out $1,000 with doc
tors before coming to Nevada. She now
proclaims herself cured and a happy wo-
man, through Weltmerism. Mrs. d. II.
Allen, of Aurora Springs, Mo. was in IA
hopeless condition, as she suffered from
consumption in its worst form. She could
not sleep without the aid of morphine.
Tried everything without relief. Fully re-
stored by Prof. Wcltmer's Absent Treat
ment. L. e. Afford, of Rubens. jewell
County, Kan, suffered for three years with
Kidney ana tomac troubles; tried the
best medical authorities, but was told that
his case was hopeless. Took Prof. Welt
mer's Absent Treatment and in three days
was cured.
Mrs. Jennie L. Lynch, Lakeview, Mo.
was for two years afflicted with liberation
of the womb, heart and stomach troubles
and general debility; was reduced to a
obnoxious medicines without relief. she
tried the Weltmer Absent Treatment. In
less than thirty days she was entirely re-
lieVed and gained 10 pounds.
Wcltmerism is undoubtedly the greatest
discovery of the age, and the Absent

deed a revelation. for through it Prof.
