to the northwestern part of the
United States, is, that the amount

fourth place in the graduated list

Japan and China, while last year
l,l20,3l6 barrels were shipped,
showing an increase Of 7l2,261 in

BRYAN'S SPEECH.
Trusts, Imperialism and the Porto
Rica Bill Denounced,

Mr.. Bryan's speech before the Demo-
cratic convention dealt almost entirely
with the three questions which he has
been discussing in various parts of the
country; the money question, the trust
question, and imperialism. He charged
the Republican party with practicing
a deliberate fraud upon the voters in
1896 by holding out the hope of in
ternational bimetallism when the
leaders neither expected nor desired the
restoration of the double standard,
either by Independent action or by in
ternational agreement. He said the
Republicans were opposed to the free
coinage of silver at any ratio or under
any conditions, and pointed to the fact
that the secretary of the treasury and
the leading Republican papers were
talking in favor of the gold standard
at the very time the commission was in
Europe trying to get rid of it. He said
that the ratio of 16 to l was the only
ratio for which any considerable num-
ber of people were working. He de-
nounced the currency feature of the
financial bill and said that the Republi-
can party had never in a campaign ad-
vocated the retirement of the green
backs, and that itwould not be able
to defend that bill before the country.
He said that national bank currency,
secured by government bonds could not
be permanent settlement of the cur
rency question unless we had a perman-
ent and increasing national debt.
THE PAPER MONEY TRUST.
On the trust question he reiterated his
condemnation of the Republican party,
saying:
"The trust is so bad thing that the
president felt 1t necessary to denounce
trusts in his message last December, but
he did not recommend a remedy"
The trust portion of his message might
be condensed as follows:
"The trusts are bad; for the life of me
do not know what to do about them.
I hope somebody knows more than
do and will suggest something"
A Republican congress listened to the
reading of the message and then pro-
ceeded to establish a paper money trust,
which gives to the people a larger chance
of injury and to the banks a larger
opportunity for profit than any other
trust in existence. He said that the
Republicans were connected with the
trusts, and the party had to rely upon
trust contributions to carry on the COM
ing campaign. He presented and de-
Tended the remedy which he suggested

PARTY'S POLICY
OUTLINED.
Bryan's State Endorses the
Chicago Platform
IN LETTER AND SPIRIT.
Unceasing War Pledged Against Trusts
Monopolies and Imperialism OPP
poses Purchasing of Trade
with Human Lives.

In effect William j. Bryan has an
nounced to the Democratic party and to
the nation at large the platform which
he considers best for the Democratic
party, and practically upon which he
desires to stand IL nominated at the
Kansas City convention.
The platform which was adopted by
the Nebraska Democracy, at their state
convention, at Lincoln, Monday, March
10, with the greatest enthusiasm re-
afflrms the Chicago platform, opposes a
large standing army, denounces the
action of the Republican party on the
Puerto Rico tariff bill, declares against
trusts and imperialism" and favors
the choice of United States senators by
popular vote.
The platform adopted by the Populist
convention, held at the same time, was
substantially the same as that adopted
by the Democrats. 1t differs somewhat
in form. but conflicts in no essential
point.
Both conventions were enthusiastic
for Bryan to the last degree, and every
mention of his name was greeted with
cheers Of delight and approval. In
structions were given to both delega-
tions to stand for Mr.. Bryan in the
Kansas City and Sioux Falls conven-
tions.

TO ANNEX REPUBLICS.


"They know that it is in serious pro-
posal to annex Costa Rica and Nicara-
qua, the argument being that these
revolutionary vortices are in some way
essential to the canal which Secretary
Hay would have us build for the ac-
comodation Of the world meaning Great
Britain. They know that ever since
General Grants day presidents have
had itching palms for Santo Domingo,
and they ought to know, If they do
not, that the expansion fever is in the
blood of the present executive, making
1t reasonably sure that there will be
no stop in the business until, If, only
to round out and increase the splendor
of the American colonial system. now
in its incipiency, the whole of the
West Indies are ours. Yet, withal, they
seem incapable of nticipation-incapa-
BILE of even formulating a civil govern
ment for Puerto Rico. Military govern
ment is so simple, so easy, so econo-
mical of their lordly labor, so agree
able to the president. If there is a
doubt that the constitution, by process
of self-eXtension, covers new domain
the instant of the perfection of our title,
why not enact something which at
least shall have the merit of certainty
in that most serious particular? A
lapse of law is intolerable of good gov
ernment."

PEOPLE WOULD CONTROL.

ours are the government, the citi-
zenship, the personal liberty, the pros
perity, the power, the flag; therefore, the
right to say whom we will let in"
Again, the definition of how and when
the constitution is to cover territory
newly acquired is a denial of colonies
and a bar to imperialism. The propo-
sition naturally follows as expressed by
the general, "If the constitution is good
enough for us it ought to be good enough
for strangers seeking our citizenship"
Gen. Wallace commends this proposed
amendment to Republicans. and Re-
publican conventions, because "the
masses of the party are innocent of
Imperialism, and it is not their inten-
ton to establish colonial plaything
for the present executive or for eXecu-
tives to come"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-03-27
PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

General Wallace says that If he occu-
pied seat in the senate he should offer
the following constitutional amend
ment:
"Article 16. section 1. The United
States shall not in any manner acquire,
hold, maintain, provide for or exercise
jurisdiction or sovereignty over any
island, territory or country now foreign,
except with the consent of the people
of the United States first had.
Section 2. In cases Of territorial ex-
pansion hereafter proposed the will of
the people of the United States, required
by the foregoing section, shall be de-
termined at elections to be provided by
congress, and in every instance the
president shall proclaim the result;
whereupon, if there be a majority for
the proposition, the constitution shall,
from the day of the proclamation, ex-
tend to the island, territory or country
admitted and to it's inhabitants"
The general sarcastically observed
that the senators will understand the
amendment, because, "along with their
other superiorities, they have an intui-
ton of such high wrought microscopic
power as to magnify effects and subject
them to perfect knowledge and appre-
citation at sight, but the common people,
however, are not so divinely possessed
and for that reason he explains that
constitutional amendment once adopt
ed places it out of the reach of the
meddlesome; future requirements of
territory are made dependent upon the
people, and the old doctrine of consent
of the governed gives way to q new

Indianapolis, March 22.-General Lew
Wallace, the ex-soldier statesman, con-
spicious in his Republicanism, has again
addressed himself to the public in Bit
ing arraignment of the president and
congress because of colonial affairs.
After ironical reference to the school for
the Education of the people," which the
Republican senators attempted to estab-
lish, the strangest part of the whole
Puerto Rican affair to him is that no
senator has made sign suggestive Of
preparations for the expansions await
ing delivery at the door.
"They know" continues General
Wallace, there is a party booming the
annexation of Cuba; they know the ad-
ministration is negotiating with Den
mark for the purchase of st. Thomas
and st. Croix islands just east of Puerto
Rico, for which there is a willingness
to give $3,OOOOOO.

palities, and to further the wise
establishment Of the governments
of such counties, towns and NUM-
cipalities and as a guide to the
Legislature, we advocate reference
OF the form of such governments to
direct vote Of the people OF each
county, town and municipality so
to be formed.
We favor the appropriation, by
the next Legislature OF the Terri
tory of Hawaii, OF liberal pension
to the e1.Queen Of Hawaii as just
acknowledgement, due her for her
great loss,
We favor the passage of only such
laws on the subject of cremation as
shall respect and heed the wishes Of
all relatives and friends OF deceased
persons, who, because OF religious
or other conscientious scruples, are
opposed TO the cremation OF the
bodies OF their dead.
We favor the payment OF all
proven and just claims resulting
from loss by fire incurred through
the suppression Of the recent
epidemic Of hubonic plague.
We favor a revision and modif-
cation Of all existing license laws.
We favor the enlargement and
comprehensive development OF all
the harbors OF this Territory.
We charge that the Beard of
Health of the Territory OF Hawaii,
as now constituted, is inefficient,
and we demand that its unrestrain-
ed and extravagant expenditures Of
public funds be stopped. We call
upon the public to bear witness to
the fact that the Beard OF Health of
this Territory is degenerating into a
political machine and that it's pub
lie duty is fast becoming subseryi-
ent to its political power and au-
thority.
We praise the good sense and
judgment OF the hundreds and
thousands OF native Hawaiians who
have accepted the honor of affiliat-
ing with the Democratic party-a
party whose principles will live as
long as civil liberty shall endure; q
party whose life of a century
breathes the political teachings OF
men whose excellences brighten the
pages of constitutions governments
throughout the world; a party great
in it's past and greater still in its
present, numbering among its fol-
lowers millions of the best and

a party which has endeared itself
to the hearts Of the plain people
everywhere because Of its fealty to
the declaration of our fathers, that
"All men are created equal" This
the greatest political party OF this
or any age, freely extends to the
new American Hawaiian citizen the
privilege Of entering it's ranks and
enjoying its full and complete
friendship and protection. We sug-
ge;t to this new citizen not only the
honor that is thus held out to him,
but the duty which he owes to him
self and to his beloved country OF
not rejecting the freely offered
friendship OF the great Democratic

ion of the topics Of the campaign.
Votes were challenged on both sides in
several wards, OF the City, and in some.
instances the votes were sworn in,
while others declined to take the
chances. There was an Indication over
in the First ward Of illegal voting. A
fellow stepped up to vote the populist
ticket and he was promptly challenged.
but he swore it In and no sooner did ha
cast his vote than he made for the rail-
road and took . freight train out Of the
city, not caring to place his liberty
in jeopardy.
The fusionists had several placsrda
tackled on the polling places in the city
iustructing their voters how to cast
their ballots for Bryan. The 81, 900 re-
ward offered by Yellow Journal Hearat
was posted in the same places and it
was evident that the democrats wanted
to impress the election judges that they
were being watched and that it would
not do to tamper with the votes. Such
despicable circular was hardly appli-
cable to this city, where the Judges are
conceded to be honest men and it was
to be regretted that the judges could
not perform their duty without having
their honor impugned.

SOMETHING OF A LANDSLIDE.
Republicans Elected Everything in
the County Excepting Three
Candidates

There was gigantic surprise in store
for the fusionists when the election re-
turns began coming in last night
after The close of the polls. The fus-
ionists were confident of winning the
presidential electors, the legislative
and county ticket and they would con-
cede nothing until about every pre-
cinct OF the l6 in the county was heard
from. II was gigantic surprise with
out the least doubt and it came with
crushing effect.
The returns from the county were re-
ceived in the land Office where they
were tabulated and the majorities fig.
ured up

With these msjorities it was simply
impossible for the country precincts to
turn in q sufficient vote to defeat them,
and when the returns showed that the
republicans were gaining in several
townships there was no question but
what the republicans had carried the
county. With the exception of Union
township Johnston's vote in the county
was 1873, Schlund's 752, making Johns
