- AVS THE Free Press: "Mr.
A Conry has never faltered in
~ his adhesion to free silver
and will not now. Mr.. Conry
will make free silver conspicuous
note in his campaign, not to please
Mr.. Connell. but to please the Dem
ocracy of Lackawanna and to please
himself"
This accords with our own inforn1a-
tion and if true is to Mr.. Conry's
credit. The platform upon which he
is seeking the suffrage of the voters
of this congress district contains this
conspicuous declaration, which some
Democrats are trying to dodge:
"We reaffirm and indorse the prin-
ciples of the National Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago in 1896,
and we reiterate the demand of that
platform for an American financial
system made by the American people
for themselves, which shall restore
and maintain a bimetallic price
level and, as part of such system,
the immediate restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of
16-to-1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation"
1t is not to the credit of any can
didatc for public office to try to get
his election by lodging the issues at
stake in the campaign. The people
have a right to know how those who
aspire 10 serve them stand upon the
questions of the day. In standing
openly for free silver, Mr.. Conry en-
ables those who want free silver COIN
age at 16 to l to vote for him intelli-

Judged by Its Fruits.

NERYBODY knows that Colo
F mel Bryan is a good talker
- but it takes more than talk
to run the government of the
United States. When Mr.. Bryan was
in congress and the Democratic party
had control of things how did it show
up as a governing institution? Study
OF this question should aid the voter in
making a choice this fall.
According to Dun's Review the num-
Der of failures in the calendar year
1892, the last year under President
Harrison, was 1884: in 1898, the first
year under a Democratic president,
was 1922, an increase of practically 80
per cent; and in 1896, the last year Of
Democratic rule, was again l5,0SS. The
amount Of liabilities In 1892, the last
year under President Harrison was
Sl1i,0000 600, and the amount in 1898, the
first Democratic year was 1886 600, COO
OF more than three times as much as
in the last Republican year; and that
of 1896 the last Democratic and low
tariff year, was 1926, 100000, while in
1897, the first year under President Nc
Ktnley, the liabilities dropped to but
$50 OOO,OOO or about one-fourth those OF
1873, and the total number of failures
was but 9,7S3 against more than 15OVU

A QUESTION or PRINCIPLE.

Here was government without the consent OF
the governed; a title conveyed 70 US by France
over territory Of which France had not been in
possession for over forty years. Here was the
rule Of newly acquired territory as a colony
imperial ule-autOCratic rule-not over Tagals
and Negritos, but over Caucasians and against
their will. Ii is true the population was not
so large as that of the Philippines, but the
critics OF the administration are discussing this
question as a matter of principle, and it is Just
as bad in principles TO rule fifty thousand people
without their consent as il is to rule ten mil
lions. The territory government of Louisiana
was temporary, though part of that territory
Oklahoma, is not vet admitted 10 the Union,
and another part-the Indian Territory-will per-
haps never be so admitted. The government
of Porto Rico is also temporary--so is even the
government which We shall establish in the Phil
| ippines, and the Republican platform promises
that the largest measure Of self'goyernment con
sstent with the welfare Of the people shall be al
| lowed them. Whether at any time hereafter they
shall he admitted 10 full statehood is for future
| consideration. II ia Just wrong in principle
| to rule people without their consent for one
| year, or for iye years as it is for hundred
years. II, therefore, the wrong OF Imperialism
| has been introduced into our free goyernmnt il
| has ben done not by william Mckinley, in the
| year 1900, but by Thomas Jefferson, the idol of
| the Democratic party, In 1905 IL is the author
| Of the Declaration Of Independence who was the

The house amended the Louisiana bill and the
senate disagreed though II was willing TO re-
duce the term Of the operation of the bill to
one year, Just as the term OF the Porto Rico bill
is now limited The bill passed and Jefferson
approved it. In Louisiana there was right
OF sef.government So great was the disat
fiction that disorders were repeatedly suppressed
at the point Of the bayonet When Aaron Burr
went TO New Orleans every man he met seemed
to be a malcontent, and at the time his project
OF Western Empire collapsed it was said that
nearly every one Of the leading citizens was his
silent aceompice.
The Observation-Disclosures talk today about
the intolerabe tyranny established by Mckinley
in the Philippines. They speak Of the degen
eracy Of our political life, Of the new danger
that threatens the republic, danger unknown
before, which will convert our free institutions
into an arbitrary despotism.
Is the tyranny Of Mckinley in the Philippines
greater than that Of jefferson in Louisiana? Ev-
cry essential fact for which the present admin
isration is denounced, short of actual war, eX.
listed in New Orleans in 1903 and 1904, under
the administration of the author Of the Declara'
tion OF Independence. The inhabitants Of New
Orleans were indeed too weak to resist by force
Of arms. They might have done even that il
Burr's conspiracy had not prematurely collapsed
But is the so'called tyranny any the less il the
victim OF it is too weak TO resist?
