which had always been, as he himself
had been, the champion Of political lib
erty, in the past, and is right on all
the other questions that are at stake
in the coming election, and is fit to be
trusted with all new questions that
shall arise On the other hand, Mr..
Bryan thought the whole transaction
wrong, makes some thin and frivolous
excuses for his conduct, and the party
with whom he acts; and the men who
surround him and will surround him
as his counselors are men who have
been the opponents of righteousness,
equality and civil liberty always in the
past, are wrong on all the other great
questions that are at stake in the pres
ent election, and are not, in my judg-
ment to be trusted with new questions,
however important and vital, that are
to come in the future.
I say to the lover of liberty, say
to the anti-imperialist, l say to the
man who thinks the Republican party
has made great and grievous mistake,
you cannot look for correction of that
mistake to a candidate or to party
who, whatever they may think or the
principles applied to the Philippine is
lands, mean to apply those principles
in their worst form to citizens of tho

HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

| In 1913 Calhounites Declared the Con-
stitution Followed the Flag Into
New Territory While the Van Bur-
| ems and Tildens Protested-Demo-
Gratis Condemned Fire in the Rear.
The New York Democratic address of
| 1913. written by Martin Van Buren
and Samuel ]. Tilden, said, in referring
to those who attacked the administra-
| ton while the country was involved in
war with Mexico:
However we may differ at home, ev-
cry lover of his country must desire
| that we should be known abroad as one
and undivided: that being at war the
only question would be, how it might
best be brought to an honorable conclu-
sion."
Further along in this address it was
said the men who attacked the Presi-
dent in time of war sought to wound
the executive administration through
the bleeding sides of the country"
When Tilden and Van Buren, laid
down these doctrines they were trying
to do what many old-fashioned Demo-
Gratis have sought in vain to accom-
plish in recent yenrs-save their party
from a destructive element bent upon
rule or ruin. Calhoun and his follow
ing. in their effort TO push slavery into
the new territory acquired from Mex
leo, insisted. just as anti-eNpansionists
do now, that the constitution followed
the flag. Said Van Buren and Tilden:
1.-The doctrine is therefore plainly
stated that wherever the flag of the
Union goes. 1t carries slavery with it:
1t overturns the local institutions no
matter how strongly intronched in the
Legislation, the habits and affections of
the people, If freedom be their FORUM
ate condition, and establishes in its
place slavery; it repeals the local laws
IL they guarantee personal freedom to
all, and authorizes slavery"
Tilden and Van Buren, thereupon
made an exhaustive review of the
question, and utterly repudiated the
doctrine of the constitution following
the hng. tn showed that Con
fnll authority to rule new terfstory as
1t thought best. Tilden and Van Buren
said in further review of the Ca1heun
dogma: "A

pies and convictions of the illustrious
men who framed it, we are called upon
to interpolate this new theory upon the
constitution as sort of mystical COM
mon law. not implied In any particular
part, but to be inferred from the gen.
eral nature of the Instrument
Thus the anti-expansion dogma of to-
day has John G. Calhoun for its author
and originator, while such northern
Democrats as Samuel ]. Tilden and
Martin Van Buren, condemned it then,
as thousands of old fashioned Demo-
Gratis do now.

SENATOR HOAR

Has No Confidence in a Party that De-
nies Self-Government at Home-The
Real Issue is the Preservation of
National Financial Honor.
1 am asked to state briefly why
think anti-imperialists should vote for
President Mckinley this fall. There
is, in my judgment, such thing as
imperialism, and such thing as anti
Imperialism. The imperialist says the
Philippine islands are ours. The anti
.imperialists say the Philippines is
lands belong to the Philippine people.
The imperialists says he will establish
for them the best government we think
they are fit for. The anti-imperialists,
say they have a right to establish for
themselves such n government as they
think good and fit for themselves.
1t is thoroughly unmanly and un-
American to take TO the woods. Either
President Mckinley or Mr.. Bryan will
be chosen. Voting for n third party,
under the circumstances, is no better
than not to vote at all. You may as
well leave your vote with the census
officers as to leave it with the election
officer, unless you vote for one or the
other of these two men.
Now, President Mckinley made the
treaty, and Mr.. Bryan. when its defeat
was assured. came to Washington and
saved 1t. These two great political
leaders, between whom you are to take
your choice, are equally responsible
for everything that happened so far.
When the treaty became the law of the
land, the public faith was pledged to
pay $2OOO0,OO0 for sovereignty over
the Philippine islands, and that Con
gress, and not the people. should dis
pose of them hereafter. 1t became the
constitutional duty of the President,
until Congress should act, or declare
otherwise, to reduce them to order and
submission. The Supreme Court of the
United States SO held long ago. The
only difference up to this point between
President Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan is
that President Mckinley believed he
was doing right, belonged to party

SIDE LIGHTS ON "sINcERIrY." :"

In 1896 Mr.. Bryan was much
alarmed over an expected fall in prices.
1.-THE law upon which we base our
fight" he said on August o. 1896, to
the farmers of Newton, Iowa, sis as
sure as the law of gravitation. If we
have a gold standard prices are as GER
tain to fall as the stone thrown into
the air."
In 1896 the average price on the
farm of Iowa corn was ii cents. In
1897 1t rose to II cents; in 1898 to
23 cents, and in 1899. the last year
for which average prices are obtain
able, 1t was still % cents. In 1896 the
average price of corn on the farm for
the whole United States was 21.5
cents. In 1899 it was 3O.3 cents On
June 1, 1896. No. corn sold on the
Chicago market at 27H cents. On
June j, 1900, the price was 371h cents
And the prices of the other farm sta
pies show similar increases, running
all the way from eight per cent. on
eggs, thirteen per cent. on wheat,
twenty-three per cent on oats, twenty
six per cent. on butter. tifty-eight per
cent. on hogs, seventy-six per cent.
on wool and 10 per cent. on flax seed,
to 454 per cent. on broom corn.
These facts are too much for even
Mr.. Bryan's powers of misrepresenta-
ton. Therefore he has shifted about
and Is trying to make n virtue of be
lying his former predictions In 1896
he complained of the low prices. Now
he complains of high ones. AS a
mountebank performance this change
is not so very important, but it serves
the good purpose of exposing the true
nature of what some persons see fit to
call Mr.. Bryan's' Chicago
Inter Ocean.

IS AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Decision Involves Duties on Impor-
tatiOns From Hawaii.


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The case of
William H. Crossman and brother
against the United States was argued be-
fore Judge Townsend in the United
States circuit court today Decision was
reserved. The case involves the ques-
ton as to whether or not the Hawaiian
islands came under the constitution and
laws OF the United States Immediately
on the passage of the joint resolution
of annexation on July Z, 1898, and be-
fore the act of April 80, 1900 Crossman
& Bro. imported merchandise from Hon
olulu into the port of New York on
April &c, 1900 The collector of the port
assessed the duty on the goods under
the tariff act of 1897. The importers
claimed in this case that at the time
of their importation, the Hawaiian ISL
ands were a part of the United States
and their goods were not, therefore SUB
ject to any duty The joint resolution
of congress of July Z, 1888, contained a
clause stating: Until legislation shall
be enacted extending the United States
customs laws and regulations to the Ha-
uaiian islands with the United States
and other countries shall remain un-
changed"
The importers claim that this clause of
the joint resolution was unconstitutional
because the constitution provided mat
the duties. ilnposts and excuses shall lie
uniform throughout the United States.
The difference between this case ana
the case Of Goetze against the United
States, decided by Judge Townsend Oh
June "A last. involving an importation
from Porto Rico. is that Porto Rico was
cede6 by treaty with Spain as conquered
territory. while the Hawaiian islands
were anneved by joint resolution of con-
greSS.
