Treason and the Right Of Criticism.
To say that it is unpatriotic to criti-
else the policy of the Government In
the Philippines is to say that it is none
of the peoples business to concern
themselves with the foreign relations
of their country, that In the guidance
of foreign affairs we must permit our
chosen servants to be absolute rul-
ers. And We cannot subscribe to such
a doctrine. Let a free people 0nce 80
subscribe and half their liberties will
be gone. They will have abdicated the
right to all say as to what the foreign
policy of their country shall be, wheth.
er 1t shall embark in wars of conquest
and of trade, wars that they must fight
and that they must pay for, or not.
And we must confess that the Ameri-
can people are close to losing all such
say. They will completely lose it If
they tacitly subscribe to the imperialis-
tic doctrine that criticism of the Phil
ippine policy Of the Administration Ia
uhpatriotic and as such must be silenc-
ed, cried down-a doctrine quite on a
par with the doctrine that criticism OF
the king is treason .-Barker's Ameri-
cUn.

dollars to rid himself of his old unfash-
ionable wife and settles half a million
more upon a new up-to-date woman.
Brother farmers, irrespective Of par
ty, we have absolute power to break up
these evils, ruinous methods at the bal
lot box. MI. Bryan. in defiance Of all
recent political precedent, has been
brave and patriotic enough TO stand up
in behalf of the rights of the masses
and oppose all such evils and abuses
without regard to what has long been
known as "party policy" that &C FREE
quently as with our President, both be-
fore and since his election leads up to

pies at the behest of the managers re-

Bryan After The Trusts.


In his letter of acceptance MI. Bryan,
after touching on all the subjects in
the platform singles out trusts and sill
YER, as the great issues after imperial
ism, which is paramount. He den0un-
ces the evils of Trusts and pledges him.
self to use every effort to curb them,
promising to recommend the adoption
of q constitutional amendment, if that
be necessary. He further says:
"The appalling growth of combine
tions in restraint of trade during the
present Administration proves con-
clusively that the Republican party
lacks either the desire OF the ability to
deal with the question effectively. If
elected I shall appoint an Attorney
General who will, without fear 0rfavor
enforce existing laws"
This is what the country needs more
than new laws-and what it has never
had under any Administration, Demo-
cratic or Republican. And this is the
strongest point In MI. Bryan's favor.
Nobody questions that he would appoint
such an Attorneys General, and sustain
him with all the great power of the
Executive office. Nor does anybody
doubt that If President Mckinley shall
be reelected we shall have the same or
another corporation lawyer and trust
promoter as Attorney General.
He further says: 1.-THE Democratic
party makes no war upon honestly &C.
quired wealth; neither does it seek to
embarrass corporations engaged 10 legi-
innate business, but it does protest
against corporations entering politics
and attempting to assume control Of
the instrumentalities of government.
A corporation is not organized for poll
tical purposes, and should be compelled
to c0nfine itself to the business des-
cribed in its charter. Honest corpora
tions engaged In an honest business
will ind it to their advantage to aid in
the enactment of such legislation as
will protect them from the undeserved
0dium which will be brought upon
them by those corporations which enter
the political arena"

The Porto Rican election laws re-
quire that voters shall have been resi-

Massachusetts, DISTINGUISHES all cit

Q law be considered proper and right in

In any southern state? Has the fact
that the politics of the two sections are
different. anything to do with it?
The Penn's Grove record., 1900-09-21

Mr.. Bryan has had three chances to
state his position on public questions
with marked emphasis. In his speech
to the notification committee, he put
Imperialism in front. In his speech to
the Populists he put silver in front. In
his letter Of acceptance he put trusts
in front. 1t will be seen that he has
deserted none Of the important issues.

No one denies that Mckinley is a

place is paved with good intentions.
Mckinley has led the country far astray
from the safe paths laid down by the
fathers and has involved it in a bewil-
dering jungle Of Imperialism, militar.
