No. 4 on Election Plank
Detroit, Mich


Detroit, Mich. May 10, 1899.
Comrades
/ have just read through the Ma
tional Election Campaign Platform,
and on the whole think 1t very
good; one that embraces the main
demands Of the masses Of workers
rand farmers in the U. s.
The fourth plank in our platform
is, Equal Rights for Negroes and
Self Determination for the Black
Beld." This is a good demand in
the fact that 1t is quite broad, but
on the other hand 1t is bad because
it Is so broad that to the Negro mas
ses 1t means nothing. Take the
phrase Equal Rights" How often
the Negro workers have heard the
capitalist takers come out with the
slogan. Equal Rights. -. means ev-

POSTAL PUBLISHER
DISPUTES BROWN
Declares Revenue Shrinkage Would
Result From 0ne-Cent
Increase.

Denying claims of Postmaster Gen.
eral Brown that a 1-cent increase in
rates Of flrst-class mail would produce
sufficient revenue to balance the budget,
John Howie Wright. publisher of Post
age Magazine, in letter to Senator
Copeland of New York, declared today
the proposed increase would cause a
revenue shrinkage of approximately
$50 900 900, based on the Post Office
Departments 1881 figures.
Mr.. Wright called attention to the
fact that first class mail now produces
a profit of some $50 0,000,0 900 on a gross
business of 1919, 1874 1853; that the 3-cent
rate will divert sufficient mail to other
channels to reduce the gross volume to
S265 900 900.
The Post ONCE department, it was
stated, has not considered the II per
cent or more Shrinkage in postal VOL
ume since the last fiscal statement.
Mr. Wright said all large mail users
would seek private methods of deliver
ing bills and statements, at a cost of
les sthan 3 cents per ounce.

FILIPINO FREEDOM
INTRIGUE CHARGED
Former Ambassador Forbes
Declares u. S. Business
Behind Movement.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 12.-Expressing dis
approval of the measures now under
consideration in Congress to give the
Filipinos their freedom" w. Cameron
Forbes, former Ambassador to Japan,
today told a Boston audience that the
FilipinoS now have vastly more free
dom than they would under their own
government"
These proposed legislative measures
are being actively supported by certain
interests in the United States, not for
the benefit Of the Filipinos, but for the
benefit of their own enterprises, he
told members of the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce during a luncheon address.
These interests can be roughly
grouped as those of sugar, cordage, labor
and dairy products.
Provisions of Bill.
1.-The bill now before Congress places
q limitation on the amount of products
competitive with these interests which
can henceforth be brought in free of
duty from the Philippine Islands. 1t
provides for a commonwealth, with Of
ficers in all departments chosen wholly
by the Filipinos but with the work OF
government carried on under the super
vision and sovereignty OF the United
States.
THE Filipinos now have freedom of
opportunity, of movement. of Spcech, OF
worship and of employment. They have
free access to our markets and our
shores. They have had natural desire
to manage their own affairs. The
measures now under consideration in
Congress might result in much more of
an oligarchy than the form of govern
ment they now enjoy"
The former Ambassador thought our
management of the Philippine Islands
could have been better, but that lit
could have done very much worse"
Open Markets
Perhaps the greatest factor in max
ing prosperous the people of the Philip
pines has been the fact that We have
opened our markets to their products
and given them a substantial free trade
between their country and ours" he
said.
Referring briefly to the recent Chi
nese-JapaneSe troubles in Manchuria
and Shanghai, he said there was no
doubt but that the whole japanese
people were convinced of the necessity
of their move in Manchuria.' He did
not undertake to place the blame for
the recent disturbances Both stressing
the Importance of recent events in the
Orient and the proposed Philippine leg
3slation as bearing on the future trade
of the United States he said:
Importance Of Pacific.
THE Pacific trade of the future is
likely to be vastly more important than
the Atlantic trade routes. The Pacific
is much greater, there are greater pop
ulations bordering upon it and there Is
little doubt that with the passage of
time it will become the principal theater
of the worlds commerce.
German high authorities in 1898
went on record as believing that in
the long run the control of the Pacific
would lie with that country which con-
trolled the Philippine Islands.
we do not want to control the Pa
