SUGAR TRUST POLITICS.
Close Relations of Wall Street and the

Close Relations of Wall Street and the
Democratic Party.
(New York Letter in Los Angeles Times
When New York State was being got
into line for Judge Parker, Havemeyer
put on guard for Parker one of his own
men. Cord Meyer by name Cord Meyer
is the sugar trusts representative in
Democratic councils. The Republican
party is able to get along without having
a sugar trust representative in its coun-
ellis. but if Democrats come into power,
it will be Cord Meyers happy duty to
make sugar stock 90 up and down on the
New York Stock Exchange and to let
il be known TO anxious statesmen when
il is going mp and when il is going down.
Do the people ont West know that in
New York, when the Democrats desire to
carry an election, they 60 ont and tell
the district leaders that a certain stock
on the New York Stock Exchange, say
Manhattan Elevated will 60 up Sl5 per
share in case Of Democratic success
That is what they DO. and il does 90 up,
too. and that shows how close the Demo
cratic party is to Wall street in New
York, where Parker and his cohorts come
from. They buy elections with stock
tips, and Cord Meyer, Billy Sheehan and
Belmont are extraordinarily good tip
sters,

Republican Policy Is in Line with
Territorial Precedents.

Republican Policy is in Line with
Territorial Prscedeuts.
-Four years ago the Democratic par
~ denounced the acquisition of the Phil
ippine Islands by the United States as
dangerous form of national expansion
and their retention as an application of
mi!itarism. The only logical conclusion
Of this position was oug immediate re-
tirement from the Islands, leaving them
to shift for themselves In his letter ac-
ceptng the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent in 1900 Mr.. Roosevelt commented
Oh this position as follows:
''The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling imperial
ism or militarism involved in the present
development Of that policy of expansion,
which has been part of the history Of
America from the day when she became
a nation. The words mean absolutely
nothing as applied to our present policy
in the Philippines. for this policy is only
imperialistic in the sense that jefferson :
policy in Louisiana was imperiahstic; /;
only military in the sense that Jackson's $
policy towards the Seminoles or Clusters
towards the Sioux embodied militarism !;
and there is no more danger Of its pro-
ducing evil results at home now than
there was Of its interfering with free
dom under jefferson or jackson, or in
the days of the Indian wars on the
Mains
The only certain way OF rendering
it necessary for our Republic TO enter
on career of militarism would be 80
abandon the Philippines te their own
al -, - 80.
guarantee a stable government among
these tribes or TO guarantee them against
outside interference. A far larger army
would be required to carry out any such
policy than will be required TO secure
order uuder the American flag; while
the presence of this flag on the Islands
is really the only possible security against
outside aggression. Properly
speaking. the question is now not wheth-
er we shall expand--for we have already
expanded-but whether we shall con-
tract"
That was the issue four years ago.
Now the Democratic platform says;
we believe with Jefferson and John
Adams. that no government has a right
to make one set Of laws for those at
home and another and a different set Of
laws, absolute in their character, for
those in the colonies. We insist
that we ought TO do for the Filipinos
what we have already done for the
Cubans."
There has never been time since
the formation Of the government that
Congress has not made one set of laws
for the States and another set for the
territories. The laws enacted by Con
gress for the government of the Philip
pines are no more absolute than those
which have been enacted during the last
hundred years for our various territories.
The demand that the United States
shall do for the Fiipinos what it has
done for the Cubans is unreasonable. We
never claimed to own Cuba. but we pos
sess the Philippines by an uudisputed
title. A Republican administration did
entire justice to Cuba as demanded by
the circumstances Of the case. and the
Republican party can be depended upon
to do entire justice to the Philippines.

THE PRODIGAL PARTY.
Biblical Story that Fits the Democracy
Of Today.
Portland Oregonianl

portland Oregonianl
The Democratic party is ike a certain
son which wandered off into far coun-
try and filled his belly with the husks
which the swine did eat. But wArA he
came to himself he said. l will arise and
20 back to the home of sense and honesty
which / left and will ask to be taken
back as a hired servant On probation l
will admit that l was wrong and have
now seen the light and hope to he re-
stored through good behavior 10 my for
mer place in the confidence OF the folks
at home and decent people generally.
That is to say, the Democratic party
could be conscieutiously likened 10 the
prodigal son if it had acted on the lines
Just laid down. But the attitude il ac-
tually assumes is something entirely diff
ferent Without explaining or reprobat-
ing his actions Of 1896 and 1900 when
he voted for Bryan. Judge Parker asks
the support and confidence OF all gold
standard men because he somewhat pat
ronizingly recognizes the gold standard
as "irrevocably established He does
not animadvert upon his own conduct in
leaving home or even upon the quality
of the nutriment which the far country
of populism afforded the Democratic
paunch.
AS near as we can make il out, the
Democratic idea is that the Elder Broth
er should be thrown out on the world
and the Prodigal Son installed as man
ager Of the estate.
