HE DEFENDS BRYAN
Neighbor Commerford Whacks the Useless Senator and the
 Lazy Mongolians.


 The various newspaper comments oil the speech recently made by William Jennings Bryan before an nssemblage of Chinese nOtabilities since Mir Bryan has been abroad, has awakened the American people to the ,Outspoken con victlOns of this truthful exponent of democratic principles i1 the interest of the great industrial and wealth pro- ducing masses of the United States.
 AS upon all national questions cofi- corning the interests of his fellow men. MT Bryan frankly told his hearers that the congress of the United States would stand pat regarding the Chinese exclusion act and there was no possi- bility of the people of this country opening the door for the admission of the Chinese. as had been done under the Burlingame treaty of some thirty years since. In this candid and out spoken expression many of those who are financially interested in reducing the real producers of the enormous wealth aud prosperity of this country take exception. Such meE are only looking for quick and remuneratye
 
 for the general welfare of their coun. trymen. China has some four hundred million of seryile creatures who ill the centuries passed have progressed but little. They have barred out every other nation from admission to their territory, and now. from recent events, they would like to find an outlet for their superabundant population and overrun this country with a hundred million or more of their cheap and garbage living creatures. Is this tie kind of servile laborers that the Amer ican manufacturer wants to drive from the work shop and farms of our coun- try, the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic races that have made such progress in the civilization of the world today! I for one do not believe 1t. and also believe there are some six million nl0re of the same conviction as myself, and that William J. Bryan is only relterating the sentiment of the great industrial masses of this country. tl
 The recent Japanese Russian war was an effort on the part of Russia to possess and hold China as conquered province In her strife for commercial supremacy and bestow upon these harmless people the lgnominious sys tem of government which stands be- fore the world in the twentieth cen tury as a blot upon the page of his tory. Do the American people who have the negro or African problem on their hands as yet unsolved, desire to take another on its shoulders that in years to come will be more blighting in it's results than that with which we are now confronted? If we had states. men in the senate of our country in- stead of millionaire attorneys in the in- terest of trusts and combines, this question of a re-enactment of the Bur. lingame treaty would be at once dis posed of and settled in the interest of the white races and the exclusion Of the Mongolians. It is the white races who have given us the civilization of today and there should he no retro gresslon or step backwards. All the improved and automatic machinery ! now in use comes from the genius of l our skilled mechanics. The other | races of the world have made no ad- ! beyond the most primitive i Keep open the door of i'm migration to the desirable home seek PTS of Europe and remember that our i Doundless west offers them an abiding | place and also that in the settlement of | such people within our territories ] nome market is guaranteed us more raluablc than the export trade to Jhina. As for the boycott on American products, the Chinese nor no other peo ! lle on the face of the globe are going Q exclude any article of merchandise hat can be sold for less money in the markets of the world. That cry is all ! ,osh. What if the United States should xclude all Chinese teas. don't you hink that our pig-tail and pig-headed static trader would come to his enses! Understand. have no feeling gainst these MongOlians. l sincerely rish them well. hut don't believe heir assimilation with the white races f this country will ever tend to the dvancement or benefit of the Ameri- 1 an people. .
