It needs no argument to convince you
that the continuation of this condition

However, if the trusts are menace
to the country, what party better than
the Republican party will give you re-
llet?' This is great comfort and might
carry some weight were it not for the
fact that the Republican party has been
in absolute control Of every power Of
the government during the last four
years and is today. If it were DESTROYS
of destroying the trusts and protecting
the people, why has it not done so? TO
this the Republicans answer: 1--WE pro-
posed a constitutional amendment and
the Democrats would not help to pass
it. We are helpless; we can do moth

stitutional amendment and what was its
purpose? The, aim and effect Of that
pIOpOSeQ CONSTITUTIONAL amendment
would have been to deprive the states
of every vestige of power that they now
possess to protect the people against
the oppression of these combinations.
Its purpose was to defer action upon the
question upon plausible pretext until
Hanna had had an opportunity to
again call upon the trusts for the ext
gencies of this campaign. Every citizen

THEY WANT THE EARTH.
But these interests, these privileged
classes, are not content with Our own
country. They want more worlds to
conquer. They want to control popu-
lations that have less power of resist
ance than the white race-lands where
their dominion may be complete, and
SO, taking advantage of the conditions
growing out OF the Spanish American
war, they are now endavoring to estab-
ltsh imperialism by fastening upon Our
institutions colonial system and a
large standing army Our people know
int,11tlvely that there is menace and
danger in this new departure To over
come this feeling they appeal to the pa
triotism, to the national pride and to the
selhshness of the people. They say that
the glory of Our flag and the prestige
of our name demand it. They say that,
besides, there is money in it. This lat
ter they rely upon as, their most con-
vircing argument Did the Spanish
people find imperialism profitable? Did
their colonial empire tend to- the up
building Of their industries, their trade
and their progress? On. Me contrary,
it had the opposite effect. From being
the most powerful state of Christendom,
the most enlightened and in many re-
spects the most progressive, before it
embarked in thelventure Of colonial EN-
pire, its power, its resources and itA peo-
pie had been dragged down to the Aow-
est depths of degradation before we
forced it to abandon the system. Shsll
we disregard the example OF Spain ami
adopt the very system that destroyed
her power and impoverished her peo-

Nations can grow and expand, as
ours has, to their political and eco-
non1ic advantage. But such national
growth always has been, and always
will be, through the. occupation and ac-
QUESTION of territory, not already occu-
pied by a dense population, and by the
planting therein Of the expanding ma
tion own people and its own institu-
tons. Such was our expansion over

the territory acquired from Spain in the
southern part Of our country, and from
France in the south and to the west OF
us. The same is true OF Alaska But
the white race never. has and never can
permanently occupy and inhabit land
within the tropics. 4. :..l
INTEGRAL PARTS, NEVER. n
We can never hope to make the Phil.
ippine islands integral parts Of our I'M
ion, occupied by people of our race,
with Our political and social ideals, as
we have in Florida, Louisiana and Cal
ifornia. Our occupation of these is
lands will be military and the govern
nlent colonial, thus converting our own
institutions from a republic, resting up
on manhood suffrage, governed by laws
of the peoples own making, in other
words, governed by the consent of the
governed, to military empire. Such
changes in the institutions of nations in
the past have always proven destructive
of the liberties OF the people, and in the
end, of their national existence. This
historical fact is we'll expressed by
Froude, the historian, in his introduce
ton tc his Life of Caesar" He says:
ITO the student of political history,
and to the English student above all
others, the conversion of the oman re-
public into a military empire, COM
mands peculiar interest. Notwith-
standing many differences, the English
and the Romans essentially resemble
one another. The early Romans pos
sessed the faculty of elf-government
beyond any people of whom we have
historical knowledge, with the one ex-
ception of ourselves. In virtue of their
temporal freedom, they became the
most powerful nation in the known
world, and their liberties persisted only
when Rome became mistress of con-
quered races, to whom she was unable
Or unwilling to extend her privileges.
IF there be one lesson which history
teaches it is this, that free nations can
not govern subject provinces. If they
are unable or unwilling to submit their
dependencies to share in their own con-
stltutlon, the constitution itself will fall
IN pieces from mere incompetence for
it's Duties"
The rightfulness of the proposition
to govern other peoples against their
will ought not to be open for discussion
by the American people, whose govern
ment rests upon the proposition that
government by force, against the will
of the governed, and not instituted by
the consent of the governed, is tyranny.
The only answer that we can get to
this proposition is that thes philippines
are ours-that we have 'acduir e1Sts tt1se4ns
by purchase and by conquest *: dsnsy,
the validity of each of these claims.
There was time when human beings
could be bought and sold under our
laws, but happily that time is past. Nc
kinley's statement, that conquest is
criminal aggression and cannot be per-
mitted by our code of morals, is as true
to-day as when he uttered it. Why did
not he stick to his original code of NOR
ais? Why did he permit Hanna to re-
wise it? 49,

and countries against the convictions of
plain duty" Is our constitution such
perversity that under it congress can
legislate for the oppression Of foreign
peoples, but is powefless to legislate for
the protection of Our own? Such logic
will not appeal to the American voter.
CONGRESS CAN THROTTLE
TRUSTS.
With absolute control over interstate
commerce, with absolute control of the
power of national taxation, congress
has the power to drive every trust that
ever existed into oblivion Congress,
by proper legislation, regulated the
transportation of commodities manu-
featured by prison labor among the
states: Isn't it absurd to say that it has
not the like power to regulate the
transportation of trust products? When
congress saw fit to abolish the issue of
paper money by state banks it put a
tax OF 10 per cent on the issuance of
such notes, and state bank notes came
suddenly to an end. Thank God the
Kansas City convention did not stand
terror stricken Before this anaconda
threatening the future Of the American
people! In language that cannot be
mlsconstrued or misunderstood it said
in its PLATFORM:
"Private monopolies are indefensib1e
and intolerable.. They destroy COMPETE
ton, contror IRE tie price of all material,
and of the finished product, thus rob-
bling both producer and consumer.
They lessen the employment of labor
and arbitrarily fix the terms and condi-
tons thereof and deprive individual en-
ergy and small capital of their oppor-
tunity for betterment. They are the
most efficient means yet devised for ap-
propriating the fruits of industry to the
benefits of the few at the expense of the
many, and unless. their insatiate greed is
checked all wealth will be aggre gated
in few hands and the republic de-
stroyed: = s4>-+ za&- q.
"The dishonest paltering with the
trust evil by the Republican party in
state and national platforms is conclu-
sive proof OF the truth of the charge
that trusts are the legitimate product of
Republican policies; that they are fos-
tered by Republican laws and that they
are protected by the Republican admin
istration in return for campaign SUBJ
scriptions and political support. :.S5.5
I'VE pledge the Democratic party to
an increasing warfare in nation, state
and city against private monopoly in
every form. Existing laws against trusts
must be. enforced and more stringent
ones must be enacted providing Tor
publicity as to the affairs Of corpora
tions engaged il interstate commerce

not attempted to monopolize any
branch Of business or the production Of
any article Of merchandise, and the
whole constitutional power OF congress
over interstate commerce, the mails and
all modes of interstate communication
shall shall be exercised by the enactment Of
comprehensive laws upon the subject Of

Tariff laws should be amended by
putting the products of trusts upon the

plea of protection. ~ .sys.ss
1.-The failure of the present Republican
administration, with an absolute con-
troll over all the branches of the ma
tional government, to enact any legis-
lat1on designed to prevent OF even cur
tail the absorbing power of trusts and
illegal combinations, or to enforce the
antitrust: laws already on the statute
books, proves the insincerity of the
hlgh-sounding phrases of the Republi-
can platform.
Corporations should be protected in
all their rights and their legitimate in
terests should be respected, but any at

the public affairs of the people or to
control the sovereign which creates
them should be forbidden under such
penalties as will make such attempts i'm

If Bryan is elected what is here indi-

AMBITION OF THE FEW.

Ever since the formation of our gov
eminent, two tendencies have been ap-
parent and operative in every general
election that the country has had. In
fact, they developed in the convention
which formed the constitution, and in
that convention was laid the foundation
for the existence of the political parties
which have in turn directed the admin
istration of public affairs since that day.
One of these tendencies, and it is a
tendency inherent in every society and
under every form of government, is the
endeavor on the part of the few to con-
troll the government and to so direct
legislation and the administration of
public affairs as to secure to themselves
and to their class special privileges and
economic advantages through govern
effort Of the common people at self-pre-
servation, politically and economically.
This was the issue in the memorable
campaign of one hundred years ago
which resulted in the election of Thorn
as Jefferson. The federal party of that
day stood for the same principles and
ism represents at the present time.
yNA\A oOA1, lAI doIAASA VI l4lC DCSld1 dl1O1l
of Independence, represented, and in
his administration of public affairs de-
veloped and Formulated, the principles
of just and equal laws, fairly and eff
GENTLY administered, with equality of
privilege and of opportunity to all men.
The party lines formed thus early
have continued, though not with iden-
tity Of name, to the present day. In
1880 Jackson represented the same prin-
ciples commended for by Jefferson, and
holding aristocracy of the south, with
out relinquishing the name of dernocra-
cy, to which it was in no wise historic
ally entitled, had adopted all the vicious
principles of the old federal party. Their
privilege, with force in the background,
as is that of the Republican party today.
Lincoln, on the other hand, represented
the principles of Jefferson and the aspi-
rations and conscience OF the common
people, as we believe that our valiant
leader, w. J. Bryan, does at the present
time. Our political and economic sit
uation at this moment verifes this his
torical resume. Let us look at the actual
conditions that confront the American

Notwithstanding the fact that ours is

comparatively handful of men. The

Facts and Pertinent Comment for the Consideration
of the Electors of the State of
Minnesota.

Last Thursday evening the Audito-
rum in the city Of St. Paul was filled
with an enthusiastic audience to listen
to the presentation and discussion of
campaign issues by Governor Lind,
Mayor Gray, and others. The speech
delivered by Gov. Lind was in accept
ance of the unanimous nomination &C
corded him by the democrats, populists
and silver republicans for second term
as:governor, and was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen and Members
OF the Conventions: Four years ago
when the same parties, who have
today honored me with the NOM
ination for the most important Of
flee in the state, first conferred
upon me the same honor, the
people of the state were not ready for
the change of policy which my election
would have implied; but not daunted
nor discouraged, you again placed my
name IN nomination two years ago, and
your action was ratified by the people
by an overwhelming majority. Two
years | have served as the chief execu-
tive OF the state. My every act has been
subjected to the most searching scrutiny,
friendly and unfriendy. That you should
again, without solicitation and without
seeking on my part, place my name in
nomination in the same manner for
continuance in this great office, is evil
dence of confidence and approval more
touching and gratifying TO me than the
mere political victory in which it may
result If your selection is again ap-
proved by the people of the state.
thank you all sincerely for the honor
conferred I also desire to thank you,
and / congratulate Our political friends
and the people of the state, on the wise
selection that you have made for the
other positions on the state ticket.
l have not, as yet, had an opportunity
to study the platform that you have
adopted, but I assume that it is in line
with our endeavors in the state, and ma
tionally, in the past. If the people of the
state shall see fit to approve of your
choice, and I believe that true regard
for their own best interest will prompt
them to do so, the state will have an
administration that will be fair, just and
efficient in every department. In view Of
the occasion and the pending campaign,
you will pardon me, am sure, for de-
voting a few moments to the discussion

Republican-Populi.t Combine.

Kepublican-POpuliyt Combine.
AS We foretold last week, the Sugar
Teat Republicans and Populists have
combined on single ticket, for which
they hope to secure the united support
of Populistsand Republicans in April,
in order to turn the State over to Re
publican tender mercies.
The ticket as finally agreed upon 10
as follows:
For Governor-Don. Gallery, Jr., OF
st. Mary.
For Lieutenant Governor-D. NJ.
Sholars, OF Orleans.
For Secretary of State-C. Taylor
Cade, of Iberia.
For Auditor--O. 81. Deshotels, of
st. Landry.
For Treasurer-George Hassiuger,
of Orleans.
For Attorney General-W. G. WHY,
of East Carroll.
For Superintendent of Education
o. b. Staples, Of Union.
They had a good deal Of trouble to
find some one to head the mongrel
ticket. Hon. D. W. Pipes, of East
Feliciana, was first named, but be de-
clined most positively. After
thorough canvass of the situation
the Sugarites and the Populists de-
cided that young Mr. Cafferey ,son of
Senator Don Cafferey, was the best
they could do. His acceptance by
the Sugar Teats was something of q
surprise, as his politics are believed
to boon line with those of his father,
who gained the political enmity of the
planters by voting against the Ding
ley bill. He has heretofore been
Democrat, recently one OF the Palmer
Bucknergol d-platedspecies. The po-
litical antecedents of the other candi-
dates have been: d. NJ. Sholars, Dem
ocrat; C. Taylor Cade, Democrats and
Republican: Oh. Deshotels, Populist;
George Hassinger, Republican; VIC.
WHY, Republican; o. Staples, Pop
ulist.
The defeat Of this nondescript ticket
il assured by vote of about three
to one--so large majority, In fact,
that those unacquainted with the sit
uation win imagine there is perhaps
something in the howl about fraud |
and ballot-box shutting. But there |
won't be any fraud, because with the |
negro out OF politics the Democrats |
have no fear of electing the entire |
State ticket.

fore be regarded as a dead duck in
