Loves Peace More Than Silver.


In William ]. Bryap's speech
at Denver the other night he
touched state issues, first de-
claring that Governor Peabody
had suspended the constitution
in the interest of organized cap
ital and that a dangerous pre-
cedent had thereby been Gre
ated. He said on national is
sues:
Our candidate is opposed to
the doctrines of war. He is for
peace rather than the sword,
and if you asked me why 1 am
a believer in free silver and am
supporting man. who believes
in the gold standard, l reply
that 1 love peace and the doc
trine of peace more than [ do
gold or silver. When we re-
move the war spirit and the
bitterness Of race hatred, Which
the president has all too I'M
wisely aroused, we can then
have peaceful conditions to
settle other questions. l be-
lieve the president represents,
as no other president ever has,
The warlike spirit that has
from time blazed out in this
mountain country. Judge Park
err is a man of peace, aud his
election means that we will sup
plant the spirit of war with the
spirit of peace. l have not Civ
en- my views on the money
questions. l expect to discuss
it again the future campaigns,
but we can stop for awhile dis
cussing the questions that affect
our pocketbook to discuss those
which affect human rights.
MIR. Bryan said the governor
of Colorado had "sowu drag
on's teeth" in deporting men
and overriding the constitution
and in refusing the men the
right of trial by jury. That
what was used against a poor
man today might be used
against rich man tomorrow. On
Imperialism he said:
The Republicans have never
dared to tell what they mean
to do with the Philippine Is
lands, They dare not tell, Yet
we cannot have imperialism

| ing 1t here. A blow struck at

ON A WAR FOOTING.
President RooseveIt's Strenuous
Peace Policy Suspicious.

The question: Is the United State
being prepared for war? may well b
asked. Joseph Pulitzer in his open let
ter to President Roosevelt, says:
1--WE are spending more money nov
on our navy than any other country
In the world, except England; third
more on our army than Austria-Hun.
gary. with nearly 100000 men under
arms, and twice as much as Japan in
time Of peace, and more on army, navy
and pensions than is spent for the
same purposes by any of the over
loaded military powers of continental
Europe without exception. Our navy
is costing us $9S,OO0,O0O this year.
France, hitherto the second naval
power in the world, is spending $751;
000, 900 on hers, and Germany, under
your illustrious counterpart, the EN-
peror, S50,oO0,000. On it's face, our ac-
tivity looks as il we were preparing for
certain war.
I'VE are building thirteen battle
ships to England's ten, Germany's sew
en- and Frances six, and thirteen great
armored cruisers, practically battle
ships, to England's sixteen, Frances
six and Germany's two. We are just
finishing half a dozen smaller cruisers.
We have more first-class battIeships
already built than any other country
In the world except England, and the
English editor of Brassey's Naval An
nusl says that In ten years at the pres
ain as the first naval power of the
globe. Yet you keep prodding us on.
How much do you want? Fifty years
ago our navy consisted of a few wood
en- frigates, and our peaceful merchant
fleets covered the seas. To-day we have
over 100000 tons of steel battleships
and cruisers, and our merchant marine
in the foreign trade has shrunk until
it is hardly larger than the navy that
is supposed to protect it,"
II am not speaking to Democrats
this is not a party matter. Your
schemes are personal, not partisan.
Your boasted Americanism is really
Europeanism. 1t is the very antithesis
of the true American spirit. You are
proposing to Europeanize our institu-
lions. Not content with the extraor-
binary increase in the powers and pat
ronage of the President Of the United
States, you propose to become prac-
tically the President of the whole West
ern Hemisphere. The accidental head
of one republic, you would make your
self the head of twenty-one. In the
name of James Monroe, the strict con-
structionist of the Constitution, and
under a hypocritical pretense of duty,
you assume prerogatives that would
turn Hamilton pale and that would
make Monroe rise in his grave. l de-
fly any of your eulogists, from the brill
liant and distinguished Whitelaw Reid
downward, to show one line in the
writings of any previous President OF
any party justifying your proposed
suzerainty over the Western Henri
sphere. But if you fail to find any
warrant for your policy in the Consti-
tuition of the United States or the
practice of your predecessors, you may
find it abundantly in the quarter from
which you borrowed the policy itself
in Europe" [Jos. Pulitzer in New
York World.J
