Bryan's One Idea.

The Boston Transcript thus earns up William Jennings Bryan: **Let us make no mistake in the matter of convictions. Mr. Bryan 4oes honestly believe that 16 to 1 ia a sound theory of finance. It is his ‘one idea,’ and it is wrong. finance he considers himself a student, whereas he has not even reached the degree of a novice. As he is a rhetorician,' not a logician, it is doubtful if a congress of trained financiers could unteach Mr. Bryan the error and fallacy of his financial ways. To him it is nothing that today an ounce of gold will buy 36 ounces of silver. If his attention were called to the feet he would either say that it was due to the machinations of the ‘money power,' or tell a story. Any one who reads Mr. Bryan's speeches carefully cannot fail to notice that when he comes to the point where argument is in order he glides off into a story. He can de • liver an oration, but he cannot make an argument. His avoidance of logic is not a confession, it is instinctive in the nature of a man whose reasoning power is of the lowest measure."

A Fitting Testimonial.

Dear Doctor McKinley: Four years ago I had that idle feeling and a craving for food in my stomach that I could not seem to fill for the want of something to eat. In fact my entire family suffered from the same cornplaint. I had severe pains in my back from carrying the mortgage on my home. My condition was such that my friends hardly knew me, I looked so much like a tramp. Then, hearing of yon; Prosperity Remedy. I tried it. and today lam a changed man. I am glad to say that all my “Hard Times Pains” have left me. We could not now get along without your Prosperity Remedy in my family, And we shall continue to use the Your obedient servant, American Workman.

Gen'l McKinley and Col. Bryan.

The 3lonon Route makes a special excursion rate for the occasion. See agent for particulars.

Douglass an Expansionist.

The following is an extract from a speech of Stephen A. Douglass, who was the Democratic candidate for president against Abraham Lincoln in Is6o. In view of Ithe declarations of the Democratic jpiatform at Kansas City what so •great a Democrat as Douglass has to say upon the subject of expansion becomes interesting at lhas time:

"I toll yon, increase and multiply and expand is the law of this xmtion’e existence. Yon cannot limit this great republic by mere txmndary lines, saying, far difealt thou go, and no further.’ j&nj one of you gentlemen might M well say to a son 12 years old I that he is big enough and mush jxft grow larger, and in order to prevent his growth, put a hoop around him to keep him to his present size. What would be the result? Either the hoop must trarst and be rent asunder, or the child must die. >So it Would be sdth this great nation. With our XMtnrai increase growing with a fluidity unknown in any part of

the globe, with the tide of emigration that is fleeing from depotism in the Old World to ask refuge in our own, there is a constant torrent pouring into this county that requires more land, more territory upon which to settle, and just so far as our interests require additional territory, in the north, in the south, or on the islands of the ocean, I am for it?"’

"THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.”

The Democratic Platform Dessected. The paramount issue of Imperalism touching the war of “criminal aggression “against the “Filipinos. Sub. 5-7.” In speaking of the platform of the Democratic Party reference will be Tnade to subjects by No. from 1 to 20. The word “we' means the Democratic Party in this.cbapter. The exact issue refers to ihe late unpleasantness with Aguinaldo. This can be located by the double verb of reproach'that is accorded. It is the only instance in the platform of a pure climax. “We condemn and denounce the Philippine Policy." To ascertaili whether the party is consistent with itfielf let us see what it believes. favors, proposes and approves that it is all germane to the burning issue in the platform itself.

The platform slates its idea of .government “Any government not based on the consent of the governed is tyrrany therefore a government by force is imperialism- Sub. I.” “The Philippines can not be citizens without endangering our civilization. Sub'. 5.” “The Philippines cannot be subjects without imperiling our form of government. Sub. 5." “Imperialism abroad will lead do despotism at home. Sub. 2.” “When trade is extended at the price of liberty the price is too high. Sub. 5."

“Influence should be extended through the persuasive power of example. Sub. 6.” “We are opposed to government by injunction. Sub. 14.” “We aro opposed-to militarism and a standing army. Sub. 9.” Before passing let us pause to remark that the platform defines Imperialism as government by force, “a" The party opposes government by the army, “b” It opposes government by the courts, “o” It docs not say in plain words that it favors anarchy. The platform approves: “i” Entangling alliances with no nation. Sub. 2.

“j” The Monroe doctrine in letter and spirit. Sub. 8. “k" Expansion over people who are tit to become American citizens. Sub. 6.'’ Note 2*. We approve expansion over Alaska and Porto Rico for we ask that they be given a Territorial form of government. We approve expansion over Hawaii for Prince David of the household of Queen Lil was a delegate and voted for “16 to 1.” We approve expansion over the Western Hemisphere and the formation of an entangling alliance with every Republican in Central and South America. Sub. 8. The trouble as to the Philippino6 arises from two, sources—the use of force and the hopeless character of those against whom the force is used. ' The platform opposes some things.

“1” We condemn and denounce the Philippine policy. Sub. 5. “m” We condemn and denounce the war of “Criminal Aggression against the Philippines. Sub. 5. “n” We condemn and denounce the false and unwarranted position of onr country in using military force to’frustrate the efforts of our former allies to achieve liberty and self government. Sub. 5.

Note 3. As the nation procured an undisputed title four hundred and thirty years old by a war, purchase and treaty whioh all parties approve and owed a duty to this nation, and to the law of

dents to preserve order and law so , nations, and to the peaceable res’- , long as we retained the title and whereas all the Philippinos who were willing to keep the peace Were left wholly unmolested by our army and only those who were shooting at our soldiers were crushed by “military force” and as the only aggression was against armed Filipinos engaged in actual insurrection against the government the “Burning Paramount Issue" although not so stated in words is the same as that raised by the Anti-Imperialists in 1864. It is plain that as Jefferson Davis led the insurfedtion of our “former allies” then, Aguinaldo leads now. In each case the purpose of the platform was and is “by word and deed to give aid and comfort to the enemy” shooting at our flag. See Dera. Platform 1848. The Democratic Party if administering our government would do three things for the hostiles under the lead Aguinaldo. “1” Give the Philippinos a stable foym of government. Sub. 5.

“2” Independence. Sub. 5. “3” Protection from outeide interference. Sub. 5. # Note “4”' For once Anti-Im-perialists have stated just what they would do if force was withdrawn. As ice have declared that their Tagalog brethren are unfit Lr civilization or this form of government, a tyranical yet “Stable Form jof Government'’ will be given them. Aguinaldo will be installed as the Emperor of the Philippines with the aid of this nation army and navy used in behalf of “our former allies.” The Tegalog Empire will be made independant of all other nations by the use of this nation’s “Military Force.” An entangling alliance will be made to protect it from all outside interference." In plain words the picture shows Aguinaldo installed as Commander in Chief of Uiicle Sam’s Army and Navy. The Tagal

Chief was not a delegate to the Kansas City Convention and he is not pledged to their sentiments of liberty, and human rights so ap-1 plauded by the Democratic Breth- j ren. The ice of that convention would surrender to the Tagal Chief and proceed on the theory that nothing is too good for him. There was an Anti-Imperial Convention held at Hartford Dec 15th 1814 and that party languish-, ed and died. The same result may now follow unless history fails to repeat itself, Republican.
