tion Of our commerce was concerned,
our navy might 40 we'll have been In
the moon as there.
But instead of going home to do
nothing. Dewey went to Manila and
captured Just what we wanted and
what we shall continue to need more
and more as time passes. Are we to
hold It and govern It, or are we to pro-
fess lack Of power and abandon 1t, and
when another war comes be again
where the last overlook us? II so. we
may find ourselves at war next time
with power that has not islands or
harbors In the Orient that we can cap
ture In that event we would have to
retire on San Francisco or Hawaii
with our navy and thus leave our COM
mercial interests in that part of the
world unprotected. The trought Of
such humiliation should be enough to
vindicate all we have done. Except
only the Democratic party, nobody de-
MES our power--with everybody else
It is only a question of policy; and
what policy teaches, Is plain to every
student Of public affairs.
These islands are not only Just
what we needed, but they have come
to US at most opportune time.
NEW MARKETS.
The greatest business problem with
which American statesmanship now
has to deal is that of finding markets
for our rapidly increasing surplus pro-
ducts, and the greatest field for the
development Of new markets is in the
Orient. Our trade there is growing by
leaps and bounds. II we are wise, we
can increase 1t almost indefinitely; |;
but as 1t grows, the necessity increas.
es to maintain the prestige of our po.
sition and all the advantages upon
which 1t depends.
The value OF the Philippines does
not depend on their resources, or on
the amount Of their trade, any more
than the value Of an isthmian canal
will depend upon the amount of tolls
that can be collected.
Great national and international en-.
terprises and movements are not to be
measured BY dollars and cents. We
DO not expect to ever collect one dollar
of profit In money from either Porto
Rico or Hawaii; and yet, their value
to us is beyond calculation. The one
ls essentia' to the command Of tn,
Caribbean sea, and the other Is the out
post that protects our Pacific coast.
What these islands are to US here
on this side Of the globe, the Philip
pines are to us yonder on the othel
side. That is not all. Whether We
like It or not, we have become worlt
power and must help do the work o
the world. We can not confine our
selves to this continent, and we shoult
not IL we could. We are destined t,
come and go to and fro throughout tn,
earth. Let us realize and appreciate
what we are. and are to be.
This is the golden age Of the repub
lie. Our exceptional blessings o
strength and wealth and honor hav,

GOVERNOR NASH.
In every sense he personally merit
the honor. He was a gallant soldie
for the Union. He has been steat
fast upholder of the doctrines and poi
icies under which our national grea
, ness has been developed. He has 81,
en- the state a clean and efficient az
ministratiop. He Is the representativ
in this contest of the policies of Pres
dent Mckinley. His reelection wi
be the best return blow he can Civ
to the cowardly crime of anarchy.
j. will strengthen the arm and gladde
the heart Of that splendid America
4. upon whom the mantle of McKinle
:, has fallen; and this we should gladl
do. Theodore Roosevelt Is singularl
well.equipped for his great Office. H
is broad.minded. He Is progressiv,
He Is able. He is experienced. He
patriotic. He has a spotless nam
and his integrity is irreproachable. H
has unselashly consecrated himself
his work. He follows in the footstep
Of Mckinley. He is his worthy SUI
cessor He Is executing his policies
Under his guidance no harm, will com
to our country. The whole America
people owe him their support, the
confidence and their encouragement
But above all other states Ohio. tn
home and the last resting place of NJ
Il Kinley, should approve his work an
honor his memory by endorsing HI
successor. Such verdict in Noven

. canism and strengthen the courage {

y problems of today and tomorrow.
