At Kansas City it took the Democrats two
days to determine upon the free silver plank
in their platform. The rest of the planks
did not need an hours work.
It is hardly necessary to say that not mere
~ free silver, but the very threat of free
silver would paralyze our whole industrial
life.
II man announces that he believes in the
doctrine of cowardly surrender, and also in
the doctrine of reputation of debts. it

order in which he puts his two policies.
Neither does it make any difference whether
the Populistic Democracy to which we are
now opposed lays most stress upon its deter
mination to debase the currency or upon
its determination to degrade the flag.
That part of Roosevelt S speech
devoted to Bryan's paramount
issue OF expansion was instructive
as well as convincing, because.it re-
called periods in the history of our
country when similar problems Of
expansion had been met and settled,
particularly those under the admin

whose democracy is unquestioned.

Porto Rican Views.
WASHINGTON, March THE Post
says:
President Mckinley in conversation
with callers at the White House yes
terday, reiterated his belief that the
people of Porto Rico were entitled to
free trade with the United States. He
made it clear this view had undergone
no change since he wrote his message
to Congress. He still adhered to the
sentiment therein expressed. At the
subscribe to the theory that the Con-
stitution should follow the flag; that
the Porto Ricans must have free trade
as a necessary legal right, When he
found that the House deemed it the
part of wisdom the President explained,
to impose a small tariff upon condition
that the revenues so collected, be re-
turned to the island, he had been con-
strained to yield to the judgment of
the House. The tariff, under such con-
ditions, would be no hardship to the
Porto Ricans. Moreover, he believed
it advisable at the earliest moment to
secure a decision of the Supreme Court
on the constitutional question in
volved Therefore, he had given his
consent to the nominal tariff and
no doubt in the minds of his callers
whom he questioned closely regarding
the drift of public sentiment-that
Congress, not the Executive, was re-
sponsible for the change of policy

TRADE AND THE FLAG.

The official statement of the exports
from the Philippines during the calen-
dar year 1899 gives the total at $l9,.
256,O9l.
Of this the hemp exports were valued
at nearly $s,OOO,OOO and raw sugar
about the same-only one-tenth of
which came to the United States. The
remainder was made up of copra, leaf
tobacco and cigars. The exports by
countries, including gold and silver,
show: To China, $6, ,9lO, ,49s; the United
States. 5000, ,255; England, $3,7Ol 1868;
Japan, 81 1888. 1896, and Spain, 81 ,l7O, 23l. !.
So that China, which has no "fiag" in
the Philippines, got nearly 5000, 600
more of the small trade than we did,
and England almost as much. We re-
ceive at this port on single steamer
day more imports from Europe than
come to US in whole year from our
wonderful new possessions. The entire
value of the commerce for year does
not equal the cost of the occupation

FROM study OF the above figures, the
Eighth district is made deba table, fight.
ing grounds with the republicans, with
a first-class candidate against them and
thorough organization of the district.
The democrats have the former, in v.
r. McGinnis, the bright young lawyer
from Leon, Decatur county. Mr.. Mclin.
mis- is not wealthy man, though by
close attention to his lucrative practice
he has accumulated fair competence.
He has accepted the democratic nomi.
nation for congress, believing there was
q fighting chance for the success of those
great principles advocated by the DEM
ocratic platform in this campaign, if
properly presented before the people Of
the district. He stands for those prin.
ciples Of antimonopoly which the peo-
pie of Taylor and Page counties 80
strongly endorsed in 1886, when they
turned Mr.. Hepburn down, and those
two counties should again roll up big
democratic majorities for McGinnis.
Democrats in every county in the
Eighth district should organize
thoroughly, and assist our splendid
nominee for congress in every way pos
sible to have the issues in this campaign
properly placed before every voter in
their respective counties whether repub.
lican or democrat. The people should
be appealed to, to not only repudiate
the new, un.American policy of imper-
ialism, adopted by the Mckinley ad.
ministration; to vote to throttle the gi.
gantic trust octopus which is reaching
out its tentacles and throttling all small,
Independent commercial enterprises and
bringing all lines of business under one
great trust control; but to repudiate
the representative from this district
who has not raised his voice against
these encroachments on the peoples
rights while the change was going on.
The people should be appealed to, to
vote against militarism, maintaining a
large standing army, as dangerous to
freedom and the republic.
Voters of the Eighth district should
be appealed to, to demand Of Congress-
man Hepburn an accounting for the
twelve years or more he has misrepre
sented them in congress; he should be
asked to define his position on all Of the
new issues Of the Mckinley administers
ton. Not only should this district roll
up handsome majority for W. j..
Bryan, but also for v. R. McGinnis for
congress. It can be done. All that is
needed is 9 red hot campaign Of educa.
tion upon the issues; thorough organi.
zation in every county; getting out Of
every democratic vote and the old anti
monopoly Eighth district will roll 10 a
majority for both Bryan and McGinnis.
Creston Advertiser. 3
The Leon reporter., 1900-08-16
THE El6HTH DISTRICT.

Can the Eighth district be carried for
democracy? We hear this question fre-
quently asked and it is pretty generally
conceded that it connot, and republi-
cans generally refer to the plurality Of
1924 which Hepburn received over
Finn, two years ago, as figure impossi-
BILE for the opposition to overcome.
The Advertiser looks at the prospect in
the Eight district in altogether differ
ent light and does not consider the
plurality that Mr.. Hepburn received
over Finn, two years ago, as one i'm
possible, by any means, to overcome
and turn into a victory for the demo.
cratic nominee this year.
The Eighth Iowa district is strictly an
agricultural district, and as such is nat
urally anti-monopoly, antitrust, anti
corporation, which was fully shown in
that memorable campaign of 1886, in
which A. r.. Anderson, as the candidate
of the combined anti-monopoly forces
defeated w. P. Hepburn by the snug
majority of 1900. In that campaign a
900 majority in Taylor county was over.
turned as was the big republican major
ity in Page county, Hepburn's home.
Never since has the opposition to the
republican candidates been able to
reach the masses of the district and de-
feat the regular republican nominee.
In 1896 the opposition had Hepburn
badly scared, even before his nomina-
ton occurred, for persistent fight on
his record as corporation server in
congress had been kept up during the
entire session of congress. A vigorous
fight was made throughout the district
and had the party been properly orga.
nized, Hepburn ought to have been
beaten. AS it was he only carried the
district against w. H. Robb by 1927
plurality, where ,739 votes were poll.
ed.
In 1898, again the opposition to Hep
burn was unorganized. A great mis-.
take was made in the choice of the can
didate that year, thinking Mr.. Finn, a
former republican, could poll the oppo-
sition vote to Hepburn and draw large.
| ly from the republican ranks. Results
show great error was made, as only
1868 votes were cast for Finn, as
against 1886 for Robb two years ago
Hepburn's vote was also short two
years ago, 2, ,456 of what he received in
1896, while Finn's was short S ,453 votes
of what Robb received two years before.
A thorough organization, getting the
vote out, for popular candidate
against Hepburn in 1898, would have
defeated him by from 900 to 1000.
Last year, 1899, the vote of the dis
tlict for governor was, republican, 49,
Ol2; democratic, lS,0O3; scattering,
1875. or about the same vote as was
congressman in 1898, but below the vote
for congressman in 1896, by 1924 votes.
The republican plurality in the district
was 5,953.
The vote of this district for governor
last year by counties as cast by the two
leading parties was as follows.
