We sent 10 the Islands goods 20 the

Exports and imports Of 20 per cent their
total annual profit Will scarcely ex-
coed 100000 or five years, $4,000 900.
That Is, during the five years Of our
operations IN the Philippines, we have
expended more than $500 100000 and
have derived profit TO Offset Il Of not
to exceed sl00OO,OOO But the 5000 900, 900
are paid by the people tax payers OF
The United states, and the profits, how
ever small they may be, mainly 90 into
the Golfers OF the trusts. Republican
legislation and policy pays little regard
to the former and every attention to
the latter. And the period OF outlay In
the Islands has not ended but has
hardly begun. They bankrupted and
ruined Spain, as stated by her repre-
sentatives in Paris, and they viii sure

Batangas informed us that the popu-
lation OF that province In two years
had been reduced from more than 800
600 TO 200 900 Inhabitants. Ninety per
cent OF their draft animals have per-
lshed, according TO the testimony Of
Governor Taft. No road has been built
by us, except for some military move
ment. Towns and villages Of the liz
habitants by the hundreds have been
destroyed, The prosperity we have Civ

KING AND CANNON.
At the conclusion OF Senator Rawlns'
speech Chairman John r. Caine intro
duced Judge King who made bright
and eloquent speech OF acceptance, af-
ter which the delegates were greatly
surprised by the announcement on the
part of Chairman Game that the newly
elected state committee had Just come
into the building with the statement
that II had chosen ex-senator Cannon
as It's chairman and that he would con-
duct The party's campaign In Utah this
year. Mr., Cannon was received amid
prolonged cheers and spoke as follows:
what will the Democrats give TO
save the political life Of the state? IL
you VIII give as much for the party as
you would give for your own life. you
viii show the people that the state can
and viii be run by the people, and not
by a single Individual Don't think Il
belongs TO your neighbor TO do the
work. II belongs TO YOU and II YOU
don't do II, you are the falslner. We
will show them whether the Democrats
Of the state are scared. We win show
them whether the party IL dead. 1t is
not dead
Mr.. Cannon then said that he was
chairman of the state committee: that
the candidates We're his candidates;
that he proposed to elect them; that he
wanted the help and assistance of every
man and woman IN the state.
