What has become of the Burke story that manufacturers are coercing employes to join McKinley clubs? As the Democratic campaign progresses, more and more Mr. Bryan and the Hearst yellow journals eclipse all else. The one hope of the Indiana Democratic leaders is that the Bryan-Hearst combination this week will give life to their campaign. Five weeks from to-day the voting comes off. Five weeks of faithful effort on the part of Republicans, the Journal believes, will give Indiana to McKinley. If the Republicans would load a hundred speaking machines with Frank B. Burke's Agulnaldo speech, and use them a week, Indiana would be as tafely Republican as Iowa. A labor organization in New Tork having passed resolutions denouncing Senator Hanne, for his efforts to end the coal strike. It was discovered that the officers are on Tammany's payroll. Gen?ral Coxey, of Coxey army fame. Is tulldlng a steel-casting plant that will cost 50,000 in Mount Vernon, O., where he Is unable to find half as many men as he deires to push his works to completion. After all the proposed trust which over shadows all other trusts Is the conspiracy to force the people to pay for stamping the silver bullion of the mine owners as raoney for twice Its market value. It is the 16-to-l trust, and William Jennings Bryan is its chief promoter. Dr. William Everett, of Boston, whose name was mentioned for the independent nomination for President, is out in a brief letter declaring that, between McKinley and Bryan, he must vote for the former. because the latter is devoting himself to arraying one class of citizens against an other. A newspaper reporter taking a political canvass in a building asked the first man he met regarding his preference for President, "We are all Bryan men here," was the reply. "Hold on, there," shouted the other four men in the room, "we are for McKinley." This Is the way Bryanites are claiming things. Of Tresldent McKinley, personally, Mr. Carnegie says in his article In the North American Review, he has a high opinion, even while opposed to the Philippine policy of the Republicans, but the dangers in the success of the Democratic candidate are "license Instead of law at home through political denunciation of judicial decisions and the silver standard, which means de fraudlng labor and robbing the peoplo of one-half of their savings." The silver issue Is now dead, but the election of Mr." Bryan would beyond doubt revive it. Ia New York the allied church under Tilshop Totter has organized a movement against the blackmail system which the Tammany leaders have maintained by the assistance of the police. According to a ftatement published in the New York pa X-ers Tammany, through the i.llce, col lfct from 2.730 gambling houses and other sinks of Iniquity $1,150.000 a year. The movement Is ostensibly against the police oepartment, but the Illicit tax on vice and crime goes Into the coffers of Tammany Hall, which is the largest contributor to and main hope of Rryanism. is it rw.-ible that any real friend of Mr Rryan has brought to this country the la te secretary and confidant of Aguinaldo to explain to Americans what the Tagal lea 1 ers rietire in regard to their future govern ment? Uns V!ke Warren, whoever he ma y be, conulted the candidate of the antl imperialist convention as to the bringing to this country, to make speeches, the rep resentatlve of the man who is now kllllnj cm can American soldiers as he can? Th

ridiculous Erving WInslow, of Besten, may have conceived that it is a wise and politic thing to bring this man into the country that has sent out 100.000 of the flower of Its young men to suppress Aguinaldo's insurrection, In order that he vasy explain to the friends of these soldiers who have been murdered the conditions of peace which that chief of bush whackers may offer, but the American people are not In the temper to listen to him. Indeed, in most any other country the represent itive of a man fighting the government would either be sent out of It or put in jail. IHIYAMSM AND BUSINESS. A dispatch in the Sunday' Journal shows how history is repeating itself in respect to the effect of political conditions on business Interests. The dispatch was from Chicago, and stated that the president of the Illinois Steel Company, one of the largest concerns in the country, had given out the following statement: We have shut down our Joliet plant for lack of orders. We shall be compelled to shut other mills within the next ten days for the same reason, although we hope to continue most of our mills in operation. As the presidential election approaches many of our best customers are postponing purcheces for the reason, as they state.

that they wish to wait until they are certain of the result of the election before placing any large orders. The statement was made in explanation of a report that several mills of the company were about to close. It confirms the report and gives the reason. It is evident the mills are to be closed until after the election, awaiting the result. The presi dent of the company says that many of their best customers are postponing pur chases because they wish to be certain as to the result of the election before placing large orders. He does not say what they hope for or what they fear, but that is plain enough wjthout explanation. They desire a continuance of present conditions and fear a change. If times were bad, business depressed, and all kinds of enter prise paralyzed by the lack of confidence, they would desire a change in existing conditions, but as universal prosperity pre vails they desire a continuance. In other words, the big customers of the steel mill desire the re-election of President McKinley and fear the election of Mr. Bryan, small as are the chances of that event, and they are withholding orders until after the election. Then, if Mr. McKinley is re-elected, delayed orders will pour in fast and the mills will resume operations, while if Mr. Bryan is elected they will either re main closed or will greatly curtail opera tions. All this is as plain as if the presi dent of the company had stated it in so many words. As the same thing is going on to a greater or less extent all over the country. In other manufacturing industries, in building enterprises, etc., it is evident that business is suffering a partial paralysis through uncertainty as to the result of the election. The situation recalls that of four years ago, with this difference: That prior to the election in 1S96 business men were hoping for a change, whereas now they are hoping for a continuance of present condi tions. Perhaps readers of the Journal have forgotten what a quick revival of business there was after the election of Mr. Mc Kinley in 1806. The experience was with out a parallel in the history of the country. Mills and factories began to open at once and there was a general revival of con fidence. A London cablegram of Nov. 4, said: "The election of Mr. McKinley to the presidency of the United States had a marked effect on American securities here to-day." Three days after the election a loan agent in Baltimore said: "Last week I was unsuccessful in placing a four months loan at 6 per cent, and 1 per cent, to the agent, which would be equal to 9 per cent, a year, and that on good collateral. To-day I placed a loan at 5 per cent., and I have received offers of all the money I want." I? an & Co.'s Review of Nov. 7, 1S06, the first one issued after the election, said: "A great revolution has been effected this week in the conditions which control business. There is ample evidence already that a crushing weight has been lifted and rolled away and the business world has begun to adjust itself in a state of freedom and security which it has not felt for years." ' A dispatch from Cincinnati of Nov. 7, four days after the election, said: "Resumption of business and increase of working forces and of orders continue to be reported from all parts of this re gion." Similar dispatches came day after day from all the large cities and industrial centers in the country. D.un & Co.'s Review of Nov. 11, the second one after the election, said: "No one doubts that the brighter day is dawning, and it is the common remark that never before has business shown so great a change for the better within a single week. Dispatches tell of about 500 establishments which have opened or have materially enlarged their force. Columns of the Journal could be filled with similar evidence of the wonderful revival of confidence and business that followed the first election of Mr. McKinley. It is well to recall these facts because, as far as business interests are concerned, the re-election now of Mr. McKinley is even more important than was his election in 1S36. When a great concern like the 1111 nols Steel Company shuts down on ac count of a falling off in orders due to fear that Mr. Bryan may be elected, it Is time for business men and workingmen to do some hard thinking:BSSiSSSSSSSSSSSasSSSSSWBSBBBBMSJSBSSSSBSBSSBSBSBSSBBSBBSBBSSS The gossip In an afternoon paper to the effect that the liquor dealers hold John W. Kern responsible for the passage of the Nicholson law will not delude any one. Mr. Kern did not care whether the Nicholson bill became a law or not; he was playing politics and made a bad play. He was anxious to get the bill before the Senate and then voted against It, showing his characteristic insincerity regarding air things into which the element of politics enters. He expected that the Republicans would be damaged, whatever came of the Nicholson bill. Mr. Kern was the only sufferer, because he showed that he was not sincere. Any Republican who should vote for Mr. Kern because he Is a martyr to the Nicholson law would be a victim to an overdeveloped sympathy. First, last nnd all the time Mr. Kern is a Democrat, and no man in Indiana carries partisanship any further than Mr. Kern. After all the criticism of the missionaries in China which has come from various quarters the voluntary tribute given by the German traveler, Ernest Von Hesse-War-tegg. in his account in the October Century of his visit to the Interior province. ShanTung, is of especial interest. "There has been so far," he says, "only one port of ' entry, Chi-Fu. and the entire foreign trade

of a population of over thirty-five millions

amounts to hardly twenty millions of dollars annually. With the advent of the iron horse this trade will increase by leaps and bounds. Americans have so far had the advantage here over all other nations, not excepting the English, owing principally to the much-abused missionaries. There are over a hundred American missionaries stationed in this province, and they teach not only the gospel, but also Western culture and civilization. They are the real pioneers of commerce in China, and wherever they go the Western merchant can follow with sure prospect of success." This unpreju diced testimony as to the practical material advantage of sending missionaries to the heathen will appeal to many who are not greatly concerned with the possible spiritual benefit the followers of Confucius may derive. The transparency of the demagogy of Mr. Bryan is often such as to lead to a belief that he proceeds upon the assumption that the American people are fools. The other day he was ridiculing the Republican theory that the American flag cannot be hauled down in the Philippines, saying: 'If the American flag cannot be hauled down in the Philippines why can it be hauled down in China, as is proposed?" There are many ignorant people in this country, but there are not so many that Mr. Bryan should assuirfe that the larger part of them who read his speeches cannot detect the disgusting, humbuggery in his question. Most people know that we hold the sovereignty of the Philippines, and that our troops went to Peking to rescue American citizens and should retire as soon as the mission shall be performed. Mr. Bryan is simply tricking the Ignorant, assuming that most of the American people are so Ignorant that they cannot see the difference between our right to the Philippines by treaty and the presence of our troops in China to save the lives and property of Americans. It is this sort of cheap imposition on the rart of Mr. Bryan, pn cticed every day, that is causing the thoughtful people of the country to more and more distrust him. Boss Croker squirms in impotent rage over the charges of Governor Roosevelt regarding the American, or rather, the Tammany ice trust, and declares that the officers and many of the shareholders are Republicans. This is undoubtedly true. But here is the fact: The ice company could not have become a trust had not the 'city officials under Croker in New York given it the control of all the docks upon which Ice could be conveniently loaded. It was this concession which made the monopoly, hence Tammany officials and bosses are responsible for the monopoly which was the most grasping on record. Why is not Senator Tillman sent to us that the campaign may have a little rough humor? For Instance, it would please people here to have Tillman declare that "the Democratic senators were bought to vote for the ratification of the treaty with Spain," and that "the devil would roast them In the next world for it;" that "the Tension Bureau is a rat-hole into which millions of dollars are annually poured and wasted," and that "America is for Americans and to hell with all others." These statements were made in Trenton, Mo. Will' Chairman Jones send us the senator with the pitch-fork? BUBBLES IN THE AIK. Edition de Sucre. "What a beautiful volume of Emerson's Essay you have.

" The Main Point, After All. The issue paramount to me Appears not Just what seems to be By other campaign guides expected; I think it is: "Who'll be elected?" The Secret of Preference. "Rebecca, how did it happen you were Invited to Mrs. Au Falt's luncheon?" "Well, maybe she wanted people that could be depended on to make themselves agreeable." Trying to He Funny. "These cafes ought to have ediule knives and forks." "What for?" "Why, so we could rat them while we wait" ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS. An implement to be added to the solc!?r's kit, which can be used as a spade, pickax, or saw, and also as a shield for protection from bullets, has been invented by the Earl of Wemyss. It is said that the contrivance is to be adopted by the British army. Senator Depew was asked the other day regarding the education of the rich. He replied that all young men should be so taught as to be able to earn their own living "There never was a Vanderbilt," he an id. "who could not, if left without a cent, earn his own living. And they have all been the better ror it." President Eliot, of Harvard, is not af flicted with what the students of that place mil th "Harvard handwriting." On the contrary, in spite of the vast amount of writing he does, his "copy" is always clear und even, with few erasures.

It is reported that there has been found among the papers of the late King Hum bert a letter addressed to his son, the pres cut Italian King, in which the future foreign policy of Italy Is dealt with.

The famous farm belonging to the late Ward McAllister at Middletown. R. I., is about to be converted into a Roman Catho 11c cemetery. Since Mr. McAllister's death no one ha taken much interest In the place, and Mrs. McAllister some time ago concluded to sell it. The Roman Catholic bishop of Providence was the purchaser. A correspondent of the Chicago Record says: "The president of the board of re gents of the University of Oklahoma is a cattleman named Bolton, and as such he has the power to appoint the teachers In the territorial schools. Not long ago a young woman of Guthrie applied for a place, and inclosed several good recommendations. Mr. Bolton examined them

A Baltimore firm recently hit upon a novel way of having a number of water melons seeded preparatory to drying and packing the seeds for orders. Two hundred of the choicest melons that could be purchased were delivered to the firm. In order to seed the fruit auickly they invited the colored 'longshoremen and passersby to a watermelon feast. It was the understandng that each man could eat as much as he could hold if ho would deposit the seeds in a tub reserved for them. Attack after attack was made on the melon pile until it melted away. The colored men came up nappy and retired regretfully when sur feited. The rinds were carted away and the seeds were saved.

Philadelphia Press. INSIST UPON YOUTSEY'S TRIAL. Commonwealth's Attorneys feathering Evidence to Force n Hcnring. GEORGETOWN. Ky., Oct. 1. When Hen ry Youtsey's case Is called to-morrow it is certain the commonwealth will insist on a trial. Youtsey's attorneys are uncertain to-night whether or not they will move to continue till Feburary, as some of their witnesses may be unavoidably absent. There will be no delay, however, on the score of Youtsey's health, as his condition is much Improved. Some days ago Craw ford, one of Youtsey's attorneys, secured an agreement to take the deposition of exGovernor Taylor and Charles Finley by in terrogations, the commonwealth's attorney having ten days in which to prepare crossinterrogatories. Since that time Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin has been too busy in the Howard trial to prepare these interrogations, so, even if the trial proceeds, it Is likely that no depositions from Taylor or Finley will be read. When court convened to-day Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin was granted a subpoena against the postmaster at Frankfort to produce an application for a money order made In January by Henry Youtsey, payable to Powell, Clements & Co., of Cincinnati, from whom It is claimed the smokeless powder cartridges were purchased. He was also granted a subpoena for the Adams express agent at Frankfort to produce the book showing receipt for a package received by Youtsey on Jan. 24. Ex-Governor Bradley anil Dan Coler, important witnesses for the defense, are here ready to 'tell what they know for Henry Youtsey. 1 NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM. XV. A. Eddy Experiments with Ills li.lt es on Long. Island. NEW YORK, Oct. 1. A system of war signaling with colored: parachutes In midair has just been tested by William A. Eddy, at Bayonne, L L Kites were the chief factors in the 'plan. A report on a series of these tests is to be made by Mr. Eddy to Chief Signal Oflicer Greely. Mr. Eddy sent aloft, by means of two nine-foot kites, a light box three feet square. This was divided into two compartments, each fitted with a trap door. Each compartment contained an American flag and a folded parachute made of paper. In addition to the flag, one of the parachutes had suspended from it a disc of silvered paper. The Hashing of sunlight upon such a disc, It is said, can be seen fifteen miles away, by the aid of glasses. The trap doors were fastened by a time fuse or slow match. One was timed to release the door in five minutes and the other in ten minutes. The parachute box, which looked like a large aerial camera, had reached a height of five hundred feet when the first match released the door. The parachute opened at once and sailed slowly downward, with the flag flying. The extra five minutes before the second match burned out allowed the box to go to a greater height, and the second parachute, with the flag and disc,-hung suspended in the air for a long time. The Idea is that with various colored flags suspended in series under the parachutes long messages could be sent aloft. These, it is said, could be read at great distances by the aid of glasses. MANY PENSION FBAULS. Tennessee Fcder.nl Judge Calls Attention to Their Prevalence. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Oct. 1. Judge C. D. Clark, presiding over the session of the United States Court for the Eastern district of Tennessee, which convened hero to-day, in his charge to the grand jury made special reference to pension violations, and said: It is perfectly astonishing how bold applicants for pensions are becoming in forging affidavits and especially the names of nonresident negroes who can never be found. This class of fraud is becoming so prevalent that even persons claiming to be Spanish-American war veterans are beginning to put in claims that are not without fraud." Judge Clark laid special stress on this class of fraud, and cited an instance of a case at Knoxvllle, Tenn., during the late pession of the United States Court, where an applicant for pension produced affidavits that he was wounded in the charge at San Juan. but finally admitted, on being confronted by proof, that he had never been nearer San Juan than the State of Georgia.

ON PATRIOTISM. TCONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.)

Nation Is one great family, and all of us are members. All of us are brothers and sisters. Our interests are one. Our welfare is mutual. You cannot Injure the American farmer without injuring the American manufacturer. You cannot Injure the manufacturer without Injuring the farmer. You cannot Injure capital without injuring labor; because on the profitable investment of capital labor depends for employment. And you cannot injure labor without injuring capital; because upon the profitable employment of labor the profitable Investment of capital absolutely and exclusively depends. This Is the motto of American prosperity as well as American unity: "One for all and all for one." So you see, that while 80 per cent, of everything the American farmer raises is sold right here at home and always will be; while SO per cent, of everything the manufacturer makes is sold right here at home, and always will be; the prosperity of both depends upon a profitable market for the extra 1'0 per cent, which they produce. To find that market now, and secure It to the American people for all time, is the purpose of the Republican party. That policy rnd purpose the opposition to the government in this campaign are fighting. And so it is that this campaign is a campaign of the American people against every other progressive people in the world. THE REPUBLICAN POLICY. If you ask how the Republican party in this campaign proposes to secure markets for your surplus, and how the opposition to the government has resisted and now resists that policy, I answer that the Republican party secured the Hawaiian islands for the United States; the opposition were opposed to that acquisition. The Republican party secured Porto Rico for the United States; the opposition resisted that acquisition. The Republican party has secured the Philippines Sor the American people, and we propose to hold them for the American people till the end of time; the opposition proposes to give them up. The war placed Cuba in a position where she might have been ours, and some day, by the choice of the Cuban people. Cuba will be ours; the opposition unalterably, unconditionally and absolutely favor throwing Cuba forever beyond the control of the American people. These great possessions, even now, are giving an Increased market for everything the American manufacturer and farmer produces. Spain's exports to Cuba was 526,000,000 a year; if Cuba were ours, our exports to Cuba would be. in ten years more than $260,000,000 annually. Our exports to the Hawaiian islands in 1806, before we annexed them, were $1,600,000: to-day our exports to the Hawaiian islands are over $13,600,000, an Increase of over 175 per cent. In less than three years; in a single year our trade with the Hawaiian islands has Increased nearly $5,000,000, a growth in trade of nearly 100 per cent. In twelve short months. Our exports to the Philippines before they came into our possession did not average $150.000 every year, although we bought nearly $5,000.000 annually of the archipelago's exports. Sometimes we exported less than $100.000 to the Philippines in an entire twelve-month. To-day our exports in time of war. with Industry dead, commerce paralyzed, and all the agents of prosperity suspended, is, nevertheless, over $2.600,000 every year, an increase of nearly 1S00 per cent. The total exports to Hawaii from all the world are over $15,000.000 an nually; and whereas, before we took them, we exported less than $5.0O0,0lK) of this, we now export nearly all of it. The total exports to the Philippines from all the world was nearly $30,000.000; if what has occurred in Hawaii occurs in the Philippines, we win export nearly all of that and have almost $30,000.000 of export trade even if we did no more to develop Philippine re sources than the Spaniards. Spain's exports to tne minppines were jo.ooo.wo annually; our exports to the Philippines in five years win De ?mU,wmo annually, even if we do not monopolize the Philippine trade as we have the Hawaiian trade. For Snain did not develop Philippine resources. Spain only touched with her finger-tips the com mercial possibilities of that richest ocean possession on the globe. Spain's trade was confined to commerce with a narrow strip of coast lazily cultivated. RICH IN VALUABLE WOODS. The vast interior, richer than Missouri, was never touched; the mines of iron never opened; the deposits of copper never dis turbed; no axe laid to the limitless forests of rosewood, mahogany and teak. There is more .mahogany and rosewood in the Philippines than there is oak or walnut in the United States. There is more material for furniture in Mindanao now than there ever was pine in all the pineries of Michigan. The Philippines are the only place on earth where hemp can be raised. It is from hemp that ropss and binding twine are made. Not one-tenth of the hemp possibilities of the Philippines are yet developed. And the hemp that Is produced is spoiled, wasted and ruined by the crude and negligent treatment of the natives. With all these resources developed, with good roads making a network of commerce and communication through every island, with schoolhouses in every village, with the Increased wants which these schoolhouses will create (for education always brings new desires), with the Increase in population which conditions of peace and orderly industry will bring, with all the developments that will come from American controlour trade with the Philippine archipelago will, in ten years from the time peace Is established, reach more than $100,O&o.ooo every year. This increase will begin when peace begins. And this will come with the re-election of William McKinley. The last hope of the Philippine rebellion 13 the ejection of the candidate of the opposition to tho government in America. For more than a year the Filipinos have known that they cannot defeat us on the field; for more than a year it has been their plan, openly duscussed. to prolong the insurrection by cruerrilla warfare until the hoped-for elec tion of Bryan. The insurgents, having the arms, have extorted several million dollars from the people. Their object is destruction of American authority. They have expended immense sums for munitions of war to accomplish that purpose, and failed. They still have large fundswitness their expensive junta maintained at Hong-Kong; witness Agonalla and his commission, maintained in the capitals of Europe. If Mr. Bryan is elected, that pur pose, it is admitted, would be achieved. -f the opposition tell you that the Philip pines have already cost us $20,000.000. pro vided for in the treaty, and $1S7,000.000 re quired In suppressing the Insurrection, and that our $2,600,000 annual exports Is no re turn for that outlay. I answer, first, that the $187,000,000 never would have been spent had it not been for those here in America who have aided and abetted the rebellion against our flag in the Philippines. I an swer, second, that now that that money has been spent. It i3 better t,o stop further resistance by sustaining the government in this election, keeping the Islands and hav ing something to show for our J20J.ihju.uuo, rather than elect Mr. Bryan, surrender the Philippines and have nothing to show for our $2ijO.OO0,0OO. I answer, third, that even If the Philippines have, by reason of the re sistance to the government in this countrv which has encouraged the resistance to the government In that country, cost us more than $200,0O0.00 nay, even if they had cost us this without resistance, they would have been an excellent investment. Our 52,e00.0C0 of export trade Is no measure of the protfitableness of that investment. If a farmer pays $1.000 for his farm ana makes, durins: the first year, only $2eo. that does not mean that he has lost $?00. He has the $260 which he has made, and he ahi has his farm. So we have our trade with the Philippines, which trade in the future will in a single year repay us for all our ex penditures. THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY. So that in these new possessions which the Republican party has secured and intends to hold forever, the American pro pie have already a great and a new mar ket for our surplus, and in the not dis tant future will have markets for not less than $300.000,000 of American products every year. And all this the opposition to the government proposes to throw away; and nil this every other nation on earth Eng land, Germany. France. Russia, are anx ious to secure. The policy of the opposi tion to the government Is the policy which every foreign nation In the world would have us udopt. The policy of the Repub lican party is the policy which every other ration in the world would prevent us from carrying out if they could. And so again I say that this campaign is a struggle of the American people against every other nation who wants the trade which the American people have secured. But while these possessions give us the monoiolv of their markets which we di not have before, and while these are val uable, these possessions are far more val uable because they give us the mighty markets of the unnumbered millions of Oceaplca and Asia. They give us these

markets because they are distributing

oints for American goods for these mar kets. They give us these markets be cause they are in the midst of these mar kets, and they make our name, our flag and our goods known to the people who buy in these markets. If the opposition tell you that commerce depends upon cheapness and quality. I answer that every town In Missouri refutes that statement. Cheapness and quality have something to do with securing markets, but convenience and advertising have more. The finest stocks of goods In Missouri at the lowest price may be brought to any county; but if the owner of those goods docs not put them in a store 'at u convenient place in a convenient town, and then does' not tell you about them, you never will buy them. Germany, to-day, is taking England s trade away in the Orient for these very reasons: rirst, because Germany is getting posses sions, as England has done; second, because Germany lets the people know about her goods, while England rests upon her old reputation; and third, because Germany makes her goods as the people want them and not as Germany wants them. while England makes her goods as England wants them and not as the. people want them. Apply this reasoning to the Philippines. They are in the midst of Oceanlca. They are nearer India that Kansas City i9 to New York. They are nearer China than Kansas City is to San Francisco. They are next door neighbor to all Asia. They are a part of Asia. The Asiatics deal only with the people they know. This is even true of ourselves. But It is peculiarly characteristically true of the Asiatics. The Philippines will make us known, are making us known, to the hundreds of millions of purchasers of American flour, American cottons, American woolens, American machinery, throughout the awakening East. The Philippines are stepping-stones to the most sought for market in the world. In the same way Cuba and Porto Rico are the stepping-stones to the second most sought for market in the world, the mar ket of South America, whose neighbors they arc, and whose blood, and whose speech, and whose faith are the same. WANTED BY" EUROPEANS. All theso markets are sought for with deadly rivalry by England, Germany, France and Russia. All these markets have not been vigorously sought for by us before, because our own markets and Europe consumed our surplus. All these markets the American people must now secure because our own markets and the markets of Europe no longer consume all our surplus. All these markets tho Republican party proposes to secure, and all these markets the opposition to the gov ernment proposes to abandon. And so again say tnat this is an American campaign. It is a struggle between this Nation and our people and their interests on the one bide, and every commercial nation of the world and the interests of their people on the other side. The Republican Policv is a policy of commercial advance; the opposlt:on policy is a policy of commercial retreat. And, therefore, there is not a commercial nation in the world that could not arrord to pay. the opposition's entire campaign fund even If it amounted to tens or millions. Aye, and there is not a commercial nation on the globe that would not do it if such a thing were possible, which, of course, it is not. If the opposition tells you that colonies do not help trade, ask them why. If that is true, it is that England's period of commercial greatness has been her period of colonial greatness? Ask them why it is that Germany, wherever she can, all around the globe, is securing new possessions and dependencies? Ask them why It is that France is extending her dominions, wherever pretext, circumstances or opportunity affords? Ask them why it Is that Russia is spreading her territory even when that she already has is undeveloped. Russ'a's statesmen are the farest-sighted statesmen, in the world. Germany's statesmen study nothing but Germany's commercial and military supremacy. England's statesmen, educated for the purpose, schooled in statecraft, maintained permanently in public life, are the shrewdest commercial statesmen the world has ever seen. France is awakening from the policy of ruin into which Napoleon plunged her. and her statesmen are devoting themselves to the growth of French commerce. And yet the statesmen of all these great powers agree that the possession of dependencies Is the best method of securing new trade and holding that trade after it is secured. England sends one-third of all her exports to her colonies, or dependencies. Germany and France are beginning to follow her example. And more than what those nations send to their possessions is sent to those markets which those possessions influence and command. EUROPE CANNOT TAKE ALL. If the opposition tell you that the mighty bulk of our foreign trade is with Europe, I answer that that Is no reason why we should not get new markets. I answer that our trade with Europe, mighty as it Is, does not now consume our surplus, and to sell our surplus is the commercial problem before the American people. And I answer that our trade with Europe has almost reached its highest point and must very soon begin to decline; because Germany, France and England are now making all they need, and will soon make more, and are seeking foreign markets for their own surplus. And these foreign markets which they seek are the very markets secured to us by the possession given Into our hands by our victories in the Spanish war. And these possessions the Republican party say are ours, and ours forever. And these possessions, commanding those new markets coveted by every nation on the globe, the opposition declares shall be surrendered. Therefore, again, this campaign is a conflict between the American people and our own interests, on the one hand, and the English people and their interests, the French peoplo and their Interests, the German people and tneir interests, on the other hand. And this is why the Republican party in this campaign stands for the Interests of the American people. That is why Republican success in thi3 campaign means the triumph of American interests. If tne opposition admits all this but says that our form of government Is not adapted to holding dependencies and colonial possessions and that our republican form of government is more valuable to us than all the strongholds of commerce of the world I answer that France Is a republican form of government, and yet France has begun to administer her possessions almost as ably as England. I answer that England, a monarchy in name, is a republic In reality, whose Queen has not the powers given by the Constitution to our President; and yet democratic England, whose responsible government changes not every four years tiut often in as many months; democratic England, which is as sensitive to the will of the people as the thermometer Is to cold or heat; democratic England, more flexible and popular In government than any nation on earth; democratic England is. nevertheless, the ablest administrator of possessions the world has ever seen. Why cannot the republic hold possessions and administer government over them? This world has got to be occupied by civilized mankind; government of liberty and law is going to be declared over all the globe. All this Is the highest mission to which civilized mankind can lay ltn hands. And if we are not fitted to do our part in spreading civilization over the earth because we are a republic then a republic is not fitted for the highest achlevem(fht required of civilized government. Do you believe that that is true? Do you believe that our Republic does not fit us for any career of prosperity, of duty or of glory which circumstance mav open to other nations of the world? No! No! Tho Republic that Washington and Hamilton planted; the Republic whose boundaries Jefferson flung in the unexplored wilderness; the Republic whose only continuous policy has been the advancing dominion of the flag; the Republic, to cast out of whose blood the poison of separation and division, a million martyrs to nationality died; the Republic which has met foreign nation after foreign nation and never known defeat: the Republic which has even triumphed over itself and established the immortality of the Nation; tho Republic the power of whoFe government have equaled always and everywhere the necesMtle Of the occasion that Republic is capable of administering government over peoples who know not what Just government means, of holding dependencies which command for the American ieopl the markets of mankind; and of keeping the stars and stripes above those Gibraltars of commercial, naval and military iower, whence America may and will rule tho ocean highways of the world. TORIE3 OF 1776. If the opposition tell you that we cannot govern a people without their consent, ask them by what authority we govern, and for a hundred years have governed, the Indian who originally owned the land on which this city stands; who were the owners of every' farmer's farm in this county. State and Nation? Have we forgotten history? Do we not know that the American patriots

of 1775 were only a large majority of Ihs people of the colonies, and that a strong minority were true to the British flag and

Jving? And yet did not Washlntcn an; Hamilton and Jefferson not only unfurl the tlag of a new government without the consent of the Tories, but .ot tad labered that consent into them? Have we forrotten history? When Jefferson Davis unfurled the stars and bars, armlts as trave r.s ever marched to battle and death ralllM around that ratal and fated banner. What was their watchword? It was this: "We have a right to separate self-government, and to Gi'icnd that right we throw down the gn4 of war." And what was the answer of their Northern brothers? It was this: "You nave no right to any government but tr-e government Wushir.ston founded. Yu have no right to self-government to yourselves alone. And to make that proposition of patriotism good, those who believe in an undivided nation, to the lart man. will lay down their lives." And they did lay down thedr lives the hcioes of both tides. From Bull Run to Appomattox, from Atlanta to the sea, from Vieksburg to tho gulf, the dying soldiers of the Union wrote with their blood the victorious denial that vheir brothers of the South mlht govern themselves outside the dominion of ths stars and stripes. Webster did not ask the consent of Calhoun, he only said, "Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable." Lincoln did not ask the onsent of Jefferson Davis, he only said. "I will preserve this Union peacefully if 1 can, forcibly if I must;" and to that proposition, when he called those who believed In preserving the Nation to sustain him. they sent the answer back that tchoed around, the world, "We arc coming. Father Abrs ham, three bundled thousand strong.' Grant did not ask the consent of Buckner, he only said, "My terms are Immeuiats and unconditional surrender;" he did not ask the consent of Lee at the .Wilderness, he only said, "I propose to flght it out on this line if it takes fell summer." And so with saber drawn and bayonet fixed, and shotted guns, the sovereignty of th old flag was re-established from the Texan plains to where Maryland's blue hills looked on her bluer sea. And today the soldiers of the gray are as glad that the Nation was preserved and the government of an unvlolated Republic established over them without their consent, as the soldiers of the blue. Lincoln knew that we would have better government under the old flag than under separate banners. We know that there will be better government undor the Mars and stripes in our great Pacific archipelago than under Aguinaldo's banner of blood. And so our answer to this insurrection is the same answer Americans have always given when the American flag has been assailed at home or abroad, "immediate and unconditional surrender." And after that will come the other answer, no less American, 'Iet us have peace." CONSTITUTIONAL POWER. If the opposition declares that we have no power to govern dependencies, ask them what this language of the Constitution means, which I will quote to you word for word, letter for letter: "The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needtul rules and regulations respecting the territory or ether property belonging to the United States." Suppose you were an agent for Fome other man, and he would give you a letter of authority which said: "Mr. shall have power to dispose ot and make all needful rules and regulations respecting real estate and other property belonging to me." Could you ask broader authority than that? That' would mean that you could sell his property if you wanted to. It would mean that you could sow it with any kind of grass or grain or plant it with orchards, cotton or vineyards can you think right now of authority broadtr than those words give? And yet those are precisely the words of the Constitution of our country clothing Congress with power over our possessions. Why did the framers of the Constitution put those words into that great instrument? Does It not look as though those wise, far-seeing men foresaw the day when the Republic would have to acquire new footholds in the oceans new possessions on other continents? And why should we fear the exercise of power as broad as that by Congress? Congress is ourselves. Congress is you and 1. Your' congressman is not your master; he is your servant. Your senator is not your master; he Is your servant, or rather the servant of the American people. We sit In the halls of national legislation and work your will. Our acts are your acts. Our power is your power. If we abuse It, you will cast us out and you should; if we betray it, you will wipe our acts from the statute books and you should. Power in Congress is only power in the people. And if the opposition to the government fear ths exercise of this power, the only rational reason for their fear is the fear of the American people. STANDING ARMY ARGUMENT. If the opposition tell you that this policy of colonial possession means a great standing army, I ask them why it is that England, which has more colonial possessions than all the first-class powers of Europe combined, has a smaller standing army than any one of them? "Why is It that England, with possessions all around the world, has a standing army two-thirds less than France, a republic? One-half less than Austria, with no possessions at all? One-third less than Italy, with only one email possession? One-half less than Germany, which has not a hundredth part of tho colonial possesions under the Rritish flag? How was It that Spain, who had more colonial possessions than any power but England, and who. on account of her oppression and misrule required more soldiers than any other colonial power, had less tu &n 100.000 men in her standing army, if It Is true that colonial possessions require large standing armies? These questions cannot be answered, because dependencies do not require great military equipment. If we keep in the Philippines the same proportion of soldiers that England has In India, we will have less than 2,w0 troops in the entire archipelago. L'paln had only 1.500 soldiers in the Philippines In 1S, when Agulnaido in surrection burst Into flame. And had Fpaln governed decently, she would not have required 500 soldiers from Luzon to Mindanao. We are to teach these people peace, not war. We are to teach them industry, not rapine. And the way to cultivate a passion for peace is to teach peace. Militarism exists only In the rhetoric of little politicians, anxious, not for the welfare of the American people, but only that they shall hold the keys of office for a few short years. And I rely on your intelligence, your patriotism and your honor to crush that proposition by the overwhelming vote of your free American ballots. If the opposition tell you that regard for the rights of man commands vs to surrender the Philippines and give selfgovernment to Porto Rico and establish a separate rule in Cuba. 1 answer that the first requirement of human society Is order and law and a righteous government. Rights of man! There can be no rights of man outside of organized society. Does the savage enjoy the rights of man? Does he understand what rights of man are? Certainly not. The rights of man. as every lover of liberty has used that sacred term, are based upon the existence of i-ocial order. Liberty, as every philosopher of human freedom, from Plato to Henry George, has used that word, means liberty within the law. What saj'tth the Scripture "concerning the perfect law of libt-rty?" Liberty and the rights of man. In the civilized sense of those. words, are founded upon orderly government. We cannot give the Filipinos liberty except bv giving them a government by which justice ; hall be administered, life and property protected. Does any man in America believe that the Filipinos will not have a freer government under the stars und stripes than under a doren Malav flags, -which, within a year, would be raised over a revolutionary government In every province of the archipelago? Wlil speech not be freer under American administration than under Filipino rule? I. who have talked with the Filipinos from one end of the archipelago to the other, tell you that it vwlli. AMU not property be b-tt(r i-rotectcJ. will r.ot life be held more sacred under American authority than under the will of Aguinaldo and hU Malay council? You know It will. Will not American energy drive highways through unpenetrated Junsle Int-j fertile valleys until all the p-ople .f every island ure brought to thr- knowledge of and communication with each other mor rapidly than th sluggard enterprise of tho?e children of lh" southern seas? It i cl.-ar that .it will. Will not the jtdnilnlratlon of Americans, the highest educators the world has produced, establish Fchoolhou s throughout the Islands mor speedily than the Filipinos will nay. will the Filipinos establi.-h them at all? Consider the case of Cuba. Two years ago there were only PV0 children in the schools of Cub. A yar ago there were less than 4.0J Cuban children in their schools. To-day there are more than 143.0CO Cuban children tdng educated In the common KchooJ established by Am x lcan administration. Free education, free speech. unbrlbed Justice. unpurchased protection to property and life thee are the rcauUs and purpoifi cf liberty. Ar.l
