since that war, including the fiscal year
upon which we have just entered, shows
an increase Of nearly $3O0,000,000.
"The total increase for the three years
will be nearly 5000, 100000. This shows
the difference in Cost OF the empire as
against the republic. These figures refer
alone to the money cost Of the change,
and do not inciu lie the cost in blood. In
the republican congress Just closed not
one dollar could be had for mucll-needed
public buildings, but many millions were
promptly voted to prosecute war in the
far-away Philippine Islands. Not a dol
lar for necessary improvements OF our
rivers and harbors at home. but millions
to be stolen and squandered in Cuba and
our new insular possessions. Nothing for
an isthmian canal and many other enter
prises and objects, but more than $780,
100000 freely given for the army and
navy, for imperialism and mlitarism, for
gold and glory.
"The foregoing are, briefly, the sixteen
parts of the issue. What IS the one
part?
"We have seen that platform pledges
are made and broken; that good intentions
Of men are many times set at naught;
that plain duty, clearly set forth and
understood, is disregarded; that some
men are weak and vacilIating and may
change their solemn opinions in day.
It is apparent, therefore, to all that in
this supreme exigency Of the republic
demand goes forth, not for faint-hearted
declaration of platform platitudes, but
for man yes, man who stands like
mighty rock in the desert; man who,
knowing the right, will dare to do right;
a man who, rather than follow multi.
tude to do evil will stand like Pompey's
pillar, conspicuous by himself and single
in integrity Such man, as the one
part, this convention will tender to the
nation as their candidate for president; a
man who is unsurpassed as citizen, I'M
equalled az an orator, courageous as a
soldier. conspicuous in every element that
constitutes the typical and the true Amer

brought forth trusts to plague US as nu.
merous as the lice and locusts Of Egypt.
Their high protective tariff is the mother
Of trusts.
"Fourth-This administration came
into power with q solemn declaration in
favor Of bimetallism and pledge to pro-
meye it. 1t haa failed to keep that pledge.
II r. . erected in its stead the single stan
dasA Of gold. and has endeayored to de.
stroy all hope Of bimetallism. In doing
this it has built up a powerful national
bank trust, and has given us currency
based upon the debts and liabilities Of
the government. We stand for bimetal.
lism and not for monometallic standard
OF either one or the other metal.
"Fifth-The dominant party has re.
Gently made the fraudulent declaration
that it favored the Monroe doctrine; and
yet their president and secretary Of state
have done all in their power to nullify
and abrogate that famous and much re.
vered democratic doctrine. In the name
Of it's democratic author, James Monroe,
I denounce their Wanted advocacy Of
this truly American doctrine as false and
hypocritical. We stand for this doctrine
in its essence and form, and demand its
rigid enforcement.
"Sixth-In order to obtain place and
power they pledged themselves, in the
interest Of an expanding commerce, to
construct waterway to connect the two
great oceans. They have repudiated this
promise. They have negotiated the
Hay. Pauncefote treaty, which, while it
virtually abrogates the Monroe doctrine,
renders it impossible to build an Ameri-
can canal. Under the terms and pro
visions Of this treaty, which is English
and not American, the canal can never
be constructed. We stand for an Ameri-
can canal, owned, constructed, operated
and fortified by America.
"Seventh-They declared in their plat
form that their party was responsible tor
the merit system, that it is not their
creature, and that the civil-service law
should be protected, and it's operation ex'
tended. BY the presidents order many
thousand lucrative offices regularly Gov.

form in favor OF the admission Of the

the Union tariff wall which will serve
to pauperize them while it enrichea

that it was it's plain duty to give free

"sAPHO."
Much Talked About Play to be Presented

Much Talked About Play to be Presented
at the Acme Opera House Wednesday
Eve July 81, August 1.
Speaking Of the famous play, the
Orezonian said last Monday.
"Sapho," the play SO much talked
about and lawed about in the East, was
presented last night to very good house
at the Metropolitan Theater by COM
pany of Australian players, with Miss
George Elliott ON the title role. The
play as put on last night must be con-
siderably expurgated, for taken all in all,
the risque scenes were entirely wanting.
It would be very difficult task to eradi-
cate the tone Of the story, which is by no
means elevating, as the novel "Sapho'
left Daudet's hands. However, the
playwright has done his best to make q
presentable piece and the company last
night added another coat Of good sense
and the result is acceptable. Earnest
ness marked the work OF the players.
The opening scene Of the first act was
light enough and fippant enough, re-
presenting the French bal masque in all
is revelry. In this act Herbert Jones
has opportunity to do good work in his
part as Uncle Caraire and he makes
good use OF every scene. He enthused
plenty of life which seemed to be con.
tagious. MISS Elliott as Sapho had
difficult and thankless part. Even in
the face Of Sapho's unenviable character

rose equal to the occasion Of doing many
loveable womanly traits, winni ng more
than one curtain call. Alec Cochrane,
as Jean Gaussin, was manly and strong.
His acting Of the part Of the young, head
strong fellow falling into the meshes Of
the enticing Sapho, even against his bet.
ter judgement, was good, though at times
just a shade boisterous. The minor
parts Of the casts are all in capable
hands, Miss Madge Corcoran in the
double role OF Aunt Divonne and Fran.
cine, and Annie Girard and Madame
Hottena are worthy Of more than pass
ing mention.
