SYMPATHY For BoERs.

Believing in the principles of self
government and rejecting, as did
our forefathers, the claim of mon.
archy, We view with indignation the
purpose of England to overwhelm
with force the South African re.
publics. Speaking, as we do, for
the entire nation, except its Republi-
can office holders, and for allfr men
everywhere, we extend our sympa-
thies to the heroic burgers in their un-
equal struggle to maintain their
liberty and independence,
We denounce the lavish appropria-
tons of recent Republican congress
es, which have kept taxes high and
which threaten the perpetuation OF
oppressive war levies.
We oppose the accumulation of a
surplus to be squandered in such
barefaced frauds upon the taxpayers
as the shipping subsidy bill, which
under the false pretensa of prosper
ing American ship-building, would

PHILIPPINE Policy.


We condemn and denounce the
Philippine policy Of the present adj
ministration. 1t has involved the
the republic unnecessarily in war,
sacrificed the lives OF many of our
noble sons and placed the United
States, previously known and APP
plauded throughout the world as
the champion of freedom, in the false
and unAmerican position of crushing
with military force the efforts of our
former allies to achieve liberty and
selfgovenment. The Filipinos can
not be citizens without endangering
our civilization; they cannot be sub
iects without imperiling our form OF
government. and as we are not vii
ling to surrender our civilization OF
to convert the republic int9 an en-
pire we favor an immediate declara-
ton of the nation purpose to give
the Filipinos FRS stable form Of
government second, independence,
and, thirdj protection from outside
interfersfce such as has been given
tor NEARLY a century to the Repub-
hcYof Central and South America.
Z The greedy commercialism which
/ dictated the Philippine policy OF the
Repu blican administration attempts
to Justify it with the plea that II
will pay: but even this candid and un
worthy plea fails when brought Z
the test of facts. The war of-crimin

MILITARIA.

will ANiSm.
We oppose militarism. 1t means
conquest abroad and intimidation
and oppression at home. 1t means
the strong army, which has ever
been fatal to free institutions. 1t is
what millions of our citizens Mave
fled from in Europe. 1t will impose
upon our peace-loving people large
standing army, an unnecessary
burden of taxation and a constant
menace to their liberties. A small
standing army and a well-disciplin-
ed state militia are amply sufficient
in time OF pease.
This republic he's ne place for
vast military service and conscrip-
ton. When the nation is in danger
tle volunteer soldier is his country's
best defender. The national guard
Of the United States should ever be

TRUSTS.

Private monoplies are indeiensible
and intolerable.
They destroy competition, control
the price of all material and of the
| finished product, thus robbing both
the producer and consumer. They
lessen the employment of labor and
arbitrarily fix the terms and condi-
tions thereof and deprive individual
energy and small capital at their
OPPORTUNITY fn betterment. They
are the most efficient means yet de-
vised for appropriating the fruits OF
industry to the benefit of the few at
the expense OF the many, and unless
their insatiate greed is checked all
wealth will be aggregated in a few
hands and the republic destroyed.
The dishonest paltering with the
trust evil by the Republican party in
state and national platforms is con-
elusive proof of the truth of the
charge that trusts are the legitimate
product Of Republican policies, that
they are fostered by Republican
laws, aud that they are protected
bv the Republican administration in
trsturn for campaign subscriptions
and political support.
We pledge the Democratic party
to an uneeasing warefarc in nation,
state and city against private mo
, nopoly in every form. Existing
. laws against trusts must beenforcec
and more stringent ones must b.
. enacted, providing for publicity a.
to the affairs Of corporations enga
ped in interstate commerce, and re
curing all corporations to show
" before doing business outside tn
state Of their origin, that they hav
no water in their stock, and tina

islsd and the Democratic party

The declaration of the Republican

AN INSPIRATION.
BY FILA wHHELER WILCOX.

However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes.
With autterng flags and prancing nags
And echoing roll of DRUMS
Still truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light
No question is ever settled
Until il is settled right
Though the heel of the strong oppressor
May grind the weak in the DUST
And the voices OF fame with one acclaim
My call him great and JUST.
let those who applaud take i.irning, -s--z---
And keep this motto in sight,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
Let those who have failed take courage
Tho the enemy seems to have won,
Tho his ranks are strong, If he be In the wrong
The battle is not yet done;
For sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
. man bowed down with labor
0 woman young, yet old
0 heart oppressed in the toers breast
And crushed by the power of gold
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

the national government, to enact
any legislation designed to prevent
or even curtail the absorbing power
OF trusts and illegal combinations,
or to inforce the antitrust laws
already on the statute books, prove
the lnsincerity Of the high-sounding
phrases OF the Republican platform.
Corporations should be protected
in all their rights and their legit-
mate interests should be respected,
but any attempt by corporations to
interfere with the public affairs of
the people or to control the sover-
eighty which creates them. should
be forbidden under such penalties as
will make such attempts impossible
We condemn the Dingley tariff law
as a trust-breeding measure, skillful-
lydevised togive the few tavors which
they do not deserve, and to place
upon the many burdens which they
should not bear.
We favor such enlargement of the
scope of interstate commerce law as
will enable the commission to pro-
tect individuals and communities
from determinations and the public
from unjust and unfair transporta-
ton rates.

the greater part Of the day the market
was influenced by all sorts Of Wild
rumors of political complications In
kurcpe. As far as could be sscertained
these rumors were eroundless. hut some
color was given to them BY the fact that
foreign houses were very heavy sellers,
the bulk of the selling orders coming
frcm Berlin. The aggregate Gales are
estim ated at 600 shares. The most In
portant rumors were Irst that Ladysmith
had fallen second that owing to the saiz-
ure of another German vessel In Deiagoa
bay the relations between Great Britain
and Germany were strained to the break
ing point, and lastly that the Russians
had occupied Herat. Mons OF these
rumors Is confirmed nor does there seem
to be the slightest reason for believing
any one Of them. Probably the real rea-
son for the heavy selling BY Berlin was
that for some time there has hsen an ex-
tended bull account at that place and the
selling Of &c 10 due to some uneaslness
over the discu ssion which is at present
taking place between Great Britain and
Germany as to the right of the former TO
ssarch vessels In Delsgoa bay. That war
will result from the seizures Is not the
belief of any sane man.
During the first half hour there was a
considerable show of strength under the
lead of Consolidated Gas and American
tobacco. The advance In the former was
ascribed to an announcement made in
one of this mornings papers that Stand
ard OIL people had acquired control of
the New York Heat, Light and Power
company. This Is take us an Indication
that the end of the gas eight Is not far
eff, IL being believed that with the Con.
90 idated Gas and the New York Light,
Heat and Power control led by one set OF
reopie the other gas companies would
either have to come to terms or elsa be
driven to the wall As to American to-
paeoo. there was no definite news, but It
was generally reported that the annual
statement when published would show
something between twelve ana fourteen
pc: cent on the common stock. After the
first half hour the market sold of and at
times during the afternoon locked pos'-
lively weak There was considerable
liquidation for account Of the buyers OF
last week. but there was also heavy sell
ing for short account
The olose was at half hearted rally
and wRs not far from the lowest of the
day. Bats for money averaged over five
ana one-half per cent.
