sen. TELLER'S ADDRESS.
Republican Subscriber" Makes Mastery Answe: to
His Political SOphistrieS.

would indeed be dead | said. What is tc
! insure usp should have said. What i:
to save us from free trade policy
The New York state Democratic conven-
ton has placed free trade planks in their
resolutions. Such a course would be
suicide to the beet sugar and many other
industries.
TRUSTS.
The third heading in Mr.. Teller's speech
was on trusts and the general impression
left on the mind was that the Republi-
can party was responsible for these vast
aggregations Of wealth and that the only
way TO reach them was to make a re-
duetion in the tariff.
To my mind IL is simply ridiculous for
anyone having common sense TO connect
the name Of either party with the trusts.
Trusts are simply combinations OF indi-
yidual business interests and have no
connection with political parties. The
representative heads OF some are Repub-
licans, while others are Democrats.
One OF the multi-millionaires OF our
country and one who in the past has
been largely Interested in iron and street
spoken Of by the Democrats as their
next nominee for the presidency. Thos.
johnson. OF Cleveland. Ohio.
hope that none OF US will live TO see
the day when the Democrats again apply
wholesale reduction 10 the tariff or pos
sibly free trade TO cure the trust evil.
We had slight taste OF that during the
last administration Of Grover Cles seland
and its effect was TO shut up almost every
manufacturing industry in tho country
and left the mass Of our laboring men
idle and with empty dinner pals.
PLEA FOR HUMANITY.
Senator Teller's final plea was that all
people should vote the Democratic tieke,
from a purely humanitarian standpoint.
We were to stop thinking OF making and
aeeumuaiing dollars only and make men
and women. This ! consider the lanes,
Of all the arguments why one should vote
with tho Democr;ie party. Republican
ism and humanitarianisn are synonymous.
Go back TO the birth almost Of tho Re
publican party and you find Il was caused
by the abuse and inhumanity Of slavery
in tho south. and with such God-fearing
leader ss Abraham Lincoln We accom-
plished It's abolition. After itsaboli,ion and
under the leadership Of such mon as
Grant, Garfield. Harrison. Mckinley and
Roosevelt we have extended tho righ; Of
fellowship ard help TO the blighted south
until now Il blossoms as tho rose and Is
enjoying prosperity such as Il never had
in the days Of the civil war.
nttr late s.sfFh Ht,b, ,tt,.1s,
humanitarian. Il occurred under a Re-
publican administration and tho Republi-
can promises have been fulfilled TO tho
letter and Cuba is now being handled by
home government and is destined TO be
reh republic.
Senator Teller spoke at some length OF
tho poor Philippines. The occupation o.
the islands by the United States Is tho
creates; God-send that ever oeeurd 20
them. Tho Islands have been alnos,
ruined by tho Spanish taxation. blcd from
the people. and for which they received
no adequate returns in tho way Of oduea-
ton or privileges Of any sort Tho poo-
pic became d0praycd and shif;loss. and Il
IS no wonder that with their domination
by the very worst elements Of the Ronish
church that they became supcrs,i,ious
and suspicious Of people who became
possessed Of their government
After few years Of Amorieanizing
tdleaton and freedom from Popory ;hoy
will become enlightened and less super
sti;iols and will be glad to worship at the
shrine Of tho stars and stripes. and
eventually home government will be
established and each citizen will cast his
vote for tho government officers.
| am Republican because It has
done so much TO develop education and
business interests throughout this broad
land. Il has kept tho states united and
has made tho world respect our flag
until now We arc the greatest nation on
earth.
