BRYAN's POLICY DANGEROUS
Would Involve n Larger Military Els.
Establishment Than Any Coun-
try Ever Possessed.

The only person of prominence in
the United States who ever announced
without qualification n policy of i'm
perialism was Mr.. Bryan in his ora
ton of acceptance. He said II elected
he would convene congress and rec
ommend declaration in favor of a
stable government and the independ-
ence of the Philippines; and that he
would then protect the Philippines
from outside interference while they
work out their destiny, just as we
have protected the republics Of South
America and are, by the Monroe doc
trine, pledged to protect Cuba"
Mark the policy here set forth. The
Philippines are to become independ-
ent governments, in which the United
States will have no interests. The
Monroe doctrine to the orient and
protect from interference by other
nations, with such governments as
the Filipinos may have. All the world
would resist such unwarrantable ex-
ercise of sovereign control in the
orient. They would claim the right in
the absence OF any interest on the
part of the United States to deal with
the governments of the archipelago
without any Interference on the part
of this government. Mr.. lsryan's
policy of establishing the Monroe
doctrine in the orient would involve
n larger military establishment than

THr SANE al OLD STORY.
Methods OF he Denoerats Are tAo
game as They Were . Gem
f;tury Ago.

The democrats who are casting cpd
thets at President Mckinley for up
holding the authority OF the United
States in the Philippines, and who
are trying to alarm the voters with
the cry Of Imperialism" and predict
ing the destruction of the republic,
might be reminded that they are
hashing over the same old story that
was cast at Mr.. Jefferson when he
purchased the Louisiana territory.
He then met with the same difficul-
ties, and the calamity howlers then
made the same predictions that are
made now concerning the retention OF
the Philippines. History: however, has
proven the fallacy of the ridiculous
charges, and the American voters will
not be fooled in November with old
hash stories and bubble arguments.
An extract from McMaster's "History
Of the People Of the United States"
is interesting (and we hope all DEM
ocrats will read it) in this regard.
and shows how the opponents of Mr..
JefYerson's policy regarded his expan-
sion ideas. McMaster says Jefferson's
opponents commended that
Between the day when the United
States should take possession (of
Louisiana) and the day when con-
gress should provide a temporary gov
eminent some time must necessarily
elapse. During this time the old
form of government, based on the
worst form of Spanish despotism, was
to be continued. Jefferson was to take
the place of King Charles, and, with
out even consulting the senate, fill
every place, from governor. intend
ant, alcalde, down to keeper of the
public stores, with creatures of his
own; it was, in short, to legalize on
the soil of the United States q govern
ment under which the people pos
sessed no civil rights; nay, could be
punished for even wishing to enjoy
them
Don't this read like present-day
democratic talk?

MEN AGAINST BRYAN.
p.t,,,.y Empioyes DO Not Care 70
Return to the Times

The Railway and Telegraph Em-
ployes' League Of Illinois has issued !, E
pamphlet giving the earnings Of rau-
way employees in the United states ior
the years ending June 30. 1925, ana
June 80, 1899. The figures. which were
compiled from the interstate com
merce commission reports, show that
the total increase in wages amounted
to the great sum of $77,459. 62s. The
number of persons employed increased
from 7s5. o34 in 1898 to e2s,s24 IN isss'
It thus happened that there were rail-
road "iobs" in 1899 for 14s.s9o more
men til an could get Jobs" in 1895.
The railroad employees Of the United
States are now being asked TO vote for
Bryan because he will "do no HARM"
Il Ia absurd however. to suppose that
they would care to travel back to the
times of 1895. Practically speaking,
they would have not one thing to gain
by Bryan's election. The least that
they would be apt to lose would be that
increase in wages, amour ting to anear-
ly round Sso.Oco.OO0. Moreover, they
would not like to have the extra pros
perity work taken away. which would
mean with it the "jobs" Of some 143,-
500 Of their present number. To get
work somehow at any wages. those
14s,sso losers of "jobs" would surely
demoralize the entire labor market.
Railroad employees. also as class,
are too sensible not to know that the
success of sixteen to one would bring
worse times by far than the country
knew in 1895. bad as those times were.
1t is self-eyident that with the rail-
roads paying fixed interest on their
bonds in 1O0-cent gold dollars, and be-
ing compelled to accept as legal tender
for their service as carriers the new42-
cent dollars. they could not make
.both ends meet" without depriving
n vast number of their employees of the
chance of earning wages in even the
accent dollars.

TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG.
An omcial showing of Trade condi-
lions That Proves the Fnilacy
of Brynnite Assertions.

The democratic party Is never SO
concerned as when the trade. manu-
facturies and commerce Of the United
States are in a fourishing condition
and labor fully employed at good
wages. Therefore the fact that Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines for
merly afforded market for over
SAG 100000 worth of Spanish goods
per annum, and that by reason of
close relations with Cuba, and SUI
premacy in the Philippines and Porto
Rico, this vast trade will now come to
the United States and be paid, the
great bulk Of 1t, to American work
men in United States factories. makes
the democratic anti-imperialists at
their wits ends. They have always
preferred to have the factories of this
country closed and the factories OF
Europe working overtime. When to
the trade that is coming to this coun-
try from Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines is added that of Hawaii,
the rage of the democrats and anti
imperialists surpasses all bounds. al
though the American wage worker is
very tranquil and pleased over the
outlook. The following figures from
the official report of the United States
bureau of statistics, treasury depart
ment, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1900, are very interesting and in
structivc. In 1896 the United States
exported to Cuba $7,53o,sSS. For the
year ending June 30, 1900, the exports
to Cuba were $26.5l3,613, an increase
of nearly $l9,00o,0o0. In 1896 the
United States exports to Porto Rico
were S2,l02,O94. For the year ending
June 80, 1900 they were Sl,64o,4s1. an
increase of over S2,O00,00O. In 1896
our exports to the Philippines were
S162, 400. For the year ending June
30 1900. they were S2,640,449, an in
crease Of two and u quarter million
dollars. In 1896 our exports to the
Hawaiian islands We're Sa9S5. 7O7. For
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900.
they were Sl3.5O9,l+s, an increase of
81. 523,44 Here is total increase of
over $s5.0OO.OOO in five years. Over
Sa3 100000 more in the year ending
June 80, 1900, spent among American
mercnhhNS' uhHuiaEtuitfs anu A"i NJ
ers than in 1896, the great bulk of it
going to labor. These splendid figures
are steadily increasing. and when the
American farmer and wage worker in
the factories see the mighty market
opening up to them where the Amer
ican flag waves, he fake cry of i'm
perialism will fall on deaf ears and
react on them who have raised it
merely in order to distract attention
from the scheme of free trade, rotten
money and Ascent dollars.

MR.. cLEvELAND's EXAMPLE.
The Last Democratic Prealdent
showed How the Gold Standard
Might BE Thrown Down.

Regardless OF the gold standard
act, Mr.. Bryan, as president, could
order the treasury to pay the inter-
est on bonds in silver, and thus force
gold to premium and start the coun-
try downward toward the silver basis.
The gold standard act, while for
bidding such action, provides no PEN
atty for disobedience. II is what
lawyers call law Of imperfect obli-
gation-one good enough in the hands
of friends, but Of no avail as against
an enemy. Mr.. Cleveland the last
democratic president, showed us how
an executive of one party could deal
with laws of this character, enacted
by the other party. 1t was in allu-
sion to them and in explaining his
practical notification of them, that
he used his famous phrase, "innocu-
GUS desuetude." These big words
startled and puzzled the country.
but they really meant only that Ger
tain republican laws were suspended
or In state of harmless disuse They
were laws, like this one of the gold
u HSAoASJ Us
violating them. Mr.. Cleveland pro-
posed, therefore, to let them remain
unexccuted and he described this con-
dition with the big words, ''innocuous
desuetude;" and that Is just the con-
ditlon in which Mr.. Bryan would seek
to leave the gold standard law He
could easily reduce 1t to condition
OF ''desuetude." but 1t would be far
from "innocuous." 1t would give the
country quick and energetic start
down a steep and slippery descent.
1t would be very doubtful whether
Bryan himself could stop it after it
was once fairly started. The panic
and alarm of change from the gold
to n silver standard would be precip-
itated on the country at once and the
gold standard law would be of no
avail against it. The only course with
such laws is to keep them in the
hands of their friends.

Our diplomatic triumphs equally
with the victories of our arms have re-
bounded TO our credit. Negotiations
for an open door in China and later ne

at the same time the absolute control

group, which is regarded as the best

democracy when in power had dishon.
o-ed again floats over those islands, an
enduring emblem of our national SOW
ereignty.
AS result of the war Spanish Cuba
was freed from Spanish rule and the
pathway paved for its early independ-
ence. Porto Rico welcomed Gen. Miles
and his army. not as invaders. but as
messengers OF mercy on mission OF
peace. We acquired unquestioned title
to the unnumberedisl islands in the east
ern archipelago; by such acquisition
we were called upon to exercise SOW

The patriotic action Of the president
has quelled an insurrection of the Tag
alos against our authority, and a
stable government is now being pro-
vided which will recognize home rule
so far as the condition OF the islanders

These are the grand achievements
which the administration of President

pages OF American history. These
facts, of record in the annals of the

NO IDLE LABORERS.
senator Allison Says There Are
None In Iowa.
People there Much Better on Finan-
ciaiiy Than Ever Before-Lend-
ers Seek Borrowers-Re-
publican Prosperity.

The people of Iowa are now in bet
ter CONDITION financially than ever be-
fore. Our factories are SO busy that
they are working unusual hours to
create the things needed for consumP-
ton. Our artisans, mechanics and la
borers are receiving more'f for their
toll in compensation and wages than
they have been receiving for many
years, and II their wages are computed
by their purchasing power, as much as
over before.
There are no idle laborers-all desir-
ing work can secure it. Our farmers
have been unusually successful. They
are blessed with abundant crops and
are receiving good prices for their
productS-on an average as much for
them as they received for them 4 any
time before. They have but few debts,
those existing having been created
chiefly for purposes of Improvements or
for the enlargement Of their farms.
Those who need money can borrow IL
ut a lower rate of interest than ever
before, and instead Of the borrower
pursuing the lender for opportunities
TO borrow. the lender seeks the bor-
rover with proffers Of low rates of in
terest. Improvements on the farms
and In the towns and in the cities are
going forward everywhere-all this
disclosing degree of prosperity to our
people unexnmpled in our history
There are no drawbacks or him
ORANGES to this prosperity. It is uni
versal and all-pervading, and happily
Is not confined to the people Of Iowa.
II is found everywhere and pervades
all industries and occupations in every
state. 1t is shown in the enormous
production Of our factories, mills,
farms and of our mines and forests.
1t is shown in the active and enormous
distribution of these products by
means of our railroads and ship lines;
in the activity of our domestic and in
terstate trade; in our large export of
farm products and of our manufac-
lures. and in the Importation OF raw
materials not produced here to be
fabricated into manufactured goods.
II is shown in the supply of capital and
the readiness with which money can be
procured to aid our productions and
aid in the distribution of them.
Our present prosperity must be at
tributed in some sense 10 the large in
fux of gold into our country in the last
three years Our circulation per cap
tia has increased from $21.01 to $25.4l
an increase of nearly $4,000, 600 in
four years, or at the rate Of sloo, ooo,-
600 per annum. This gain has been
largely In gold. This increase has come
from the employment of our laborers
at home fabricating and producing
things consumed not only in our own
country, but abroad. for which gold
has come to us in return.
