A Wail of Distress From Han- na’s Secretary—Van Sant’s Plans, According to Bixby. Republicans Plead Guilty. The Return of Olney—Nlis- cellaneous Matter. Sr. Pau, Sept. 10, 1999. The Republicans were not etraid of the Declaration of Independence 24 yearsago. In their platform of 1876 they professed faith in that part of the time-honored declaration of rights which they now regard as obsolete. The platform contained this plank: “The Republican party has preserved this government to the hundredth an- niversary of the nation’s birth, and the party’s principles are now the embodi- ment of the great truths spoken at its cradle; that all men are created equal end they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that for the attainment of theso ends governments have been instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”” Perry S. Heath, the secretary of Mark Hanna’s national committee, has sent 8 confidential letter to the faithful with 8 wail of distress. Ho says that Mr. Bryan’s election would mean the with- drawal of our army from the Philip- pines some time next year. Froma Republican viewpoint this would be an awful calamity. It develops that the Republican leaders do not expect the Filipinos ever to be pacified. An army is be kept inthe islands for all time. In his speech at Alexandria sone daysago Senator Knute Nelson announced without reserve that a stand- ing American army in the Philippines will be necessary after the war is over. Bryan, on the other hand, does not be- lieve in the permanent maintenance of American troops at the antipodes. He wants the p2ople of the Philippines to enjoy the blessings of liberty and inde- pendence; and when he says that those distant islands shall not forever beruled by the American soldiery, the Repub- lican committee crosses itself and says: “Isn’t it awful?” It is no secret that Captain Van Sant fcught against the election of Kuute Neison to the United States senate. What he might do now, if he were to become governor, is not in itself an important question, since the supposed cont:ngency will not come to pass. But, still, the friends of Senator Nelson may find some food for thoughs in what Tams Bixby’s paper, the. Red Wing Daily Republican, said on the subject two years ago. In its issue of June 3, 1898, Tams Eixby’s paper said: “No one should be such an innocent pclitically as to suppose that the com- bine, whose headquarters are at pres- ent in the state capitol at St. Paul, pro- poses to go ont of existence after hay- ing accomplished so trifling an achieve- ment as the nomination of a state ticket this year. No political combina- tion ever works that way. They are gotten up to last, and they take into the scope of their plans and work all the places and emoluments that will be for distribution for.years to come. Otherwise men would not give their time and energy toa work so tempor- ary and trifling. «This is the case in the present emer- gency. It pleases the combine, of course, to say that Governor Clough wants nothing for himself, and that the nomination of Van Sant will be the culmination of his pure and seif- sacrificing political existence. kind of talk may go down with a polit- ical tenderfoot, but anyone less unso- phisticated does not need to be taught that the real plan runs far into the dis- tance and contemplates the control of every state and federal place within the reach of any citizen of Minnesota. «*Asan illustration, it is worth noting that the Clough-Van Sant workers are passing the word around quietly, when they think that it will do good rather than harm, that what they are after is not a governorship merely, but a sen- atorship as well. This is done to stim- ulate interest in quarters where some great incentive is necessary, but there is no reason to doubt that it represents the exact fact. Not one, but both sen- atorships, have been parc of the great prize which the combine have sot out to acquire for themselves. “Senator Davis was marked for the slaughter originally, and the alliance of leaders last. fall included a pledge to unitein defeating his re-election. The progress of eveuts have made him so popular that this purpose has to be con- cealed if not abandoned. What the Clough-Van Sant people intend is still to beat Davisif there is the remotest chance, by the use of any means or in- fluence known to politics, to send Clough to Washington in his place. If this cannot be done without the wreck- ing of their other schemes, then they will swallow the Davis pill with a wry face. But they donot propose to be balked two years hence in any event. Nelson’s prominence is particularly ob- noxious tothem, and they intend at once to gratify that ambition of an aspirant to higher place, to cement their own power and to punish one not in with their gang by retiring Nelson at the end of his present term. It would hard y b+ 10 1g too far to say that the two senitorsnips are the real objective point of this new confederation in state cs, and all the rest of the scheme is bent to manage the state so fs to obtain complete command of these great posts. That is the ultimate pur- This | jose of the combine that stands con- feuted. fessed in method before the Republi: cans of Minnesota today.’’” Mr. Bryan is-being accused of a want of tact because he said some things in his Labor day address in Chicago which Republicans do not like to have men- tioned. He discussed the rights of the wage earners, and this is regarded as a secret attack on the Republican party. He denounced the trust evil and im- perialism and thereby hart the feelings of some Republicans. By construing his remarks as an attack on their party the Republicans really plead guilty of imperialism and of subserviency to the interests of the trusts, The situation is much like the one which obtained in Minnesota at the time when Governor Lind declared, in a speech at Minneap- olis, that the American volunteer sol- dier was not the proper,man to carry on a war of aggression and conquest. The Republican organs then set upa howl because the governor had at- tacked the McKinley administration. Without intending it they entered the plea of guilty to the charge that they were engaged ina war of aggression and conquest. In like manner they now take the position that an attack on the trusts and an endorsement of the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence are equivalent to plunging a dagger into the vitals of the Republi- can party. The recent declaration of Richard C. Olney that he will support the Demo- cratic platform and candidates was a body-blow to the Republicans in the}. East. Mr. Olney would have been worth more to the Republicans than all the other converts together, about whose conversion they have been boast- ing. Four years ago he was one of the’ strongest of all the opponents of Bryan. Now Mr. Olney’s vigorous American- ism has brought him back into the party which stands for American ideas. He will be a tower of strength in New England. When Bryan gains sucha supporter, who was the soul of the Cleveland administration, he is indeed advancing far into ‘‘the enemy’s coun- try.”’? Itis about time for the Repub- licans to admit defeat. Some of the Republican organs are denying that the Des Moines Globe, which openly advocates, the establish- ment of a constitutional monarchy for our present form of government, ex- presses the sentiment of the latter-day | Republicans. In measuring the value of this denial it should be remembered that until recently these same Repub- lican organs were equally emphatic’ in Genying the purpose of their party to establish the single gold standard, de- manded, as is imperialism, by organized capitalistic greed. “The Republicans say we cannot haul down the flag where it has once been hoisted. If thatis true, how are you going to get the flag away from Pe- king? Onur soldiers are there and car- ried the Stars and Stripes with them, and if your doctrine that whenever the flag floats over aland the land cannot be given back is true, you cannot get your soldiers away from Peking, and if you tollow the doctrine that you fol- lowed in Manila, you have got to take the whole Chinese empire, because we took all the islands of the Philippines, and if thas doctrine is true we have got to take the 400,000,000 subjects over there. Itisa thousand times be.ter to haul down the flag in the Philippine islends and raise the flag of the Phil- ippine republic than to.change our flag from the flag of the republic to the flag of an empire.’’—W. J. Bryan. These are some of the things which such an independent Republican as Hazen S. Fingree of Michigan, who does his own thinking, says of the pres- ent Republican party: “There should be a general cleaning out of the gang that has betrayed the republic at Washington.” “Tam a Republican, but I honestly believe that, with the Ohio crowd in control, the best thing that could hap- pen to the Republican party this fall would be the success of the Demo crats.”’ “I have always contended that Mc- Kinley’s backbone did not reach far enough toward his neck to support his brain or will power.’’ “How long will the American people tolerate a state of affairs like that in the Philippines and China? How long will they suffer to be controlled by such enemies of the republic as Hanna?’ Republicans are trying to disown the Des Moines Globe, because it is honest enough openly to admit that it wants our country ‘changed from a republic toa monarchy. The fact remains, how- ever, that the Des Moines Globe isa Republican paper, published and edited by one of the Republican committee- men in the Republican county of Polk, Ia: And his isnot the only paper which has lost faith in the republic. The Chicago Journal, a straight Re- publican organ, says, Aug, 21: “What,-after all, is the Declaration of Independence or the constitution? Who created them? ‘The people of the United States. Who has the right to throw them overboard? ‘The people of the United States. Men invoke the past to dictate to the present. Absurd, Any tyroin political science will tell you that government is a fluid, nota solid, “For a hundred years or more we have been living under a certain form of government. It has pleased us to have that sort of government. But is it intrinsically any better than another existing form of government? Cer tainly not. And if tomorrow we should elect to change to a limited monarchy, it would mean no more than that a limited monarchy was better suited tc our twentieth century needs.’’ In all sections of the country the Re: publican managers are sounding a sol? emn note of warning against ‘over? confidence.” With a fine disregard ot the ordinary rules of reason,’ they de- clare that they are so confident of suc- cess that they fear they will. be de- Sone Republican Managers: Awfully hard work to navigate the Captain; he’s too full of enthusiasm.

Says MHearst’s Chicago American: “The Republican party seeking to catch the labor vote, and understand- ing labor about as well as a monkey understands a tiger, has hit upon the “full dinner pail” as a trade mark. “Poor, stupid Republicanism decides to issue hundreds of thousands of badges, each with the “full dinner pail” painted on the badge. “Workmen, if you please, are ex- pected to wear these badges, to wear with them a happy, grateful smile as they trudge from the trust factories to their homes.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MILITARISM. The Republican National Literary Bureau is circulating, as a refutation of the charge that imperialism and militarism go together, a campaign speech delivered, with exquisite taste, by ex-Senator Manderson in his offi- cial capacity as a graduation day speaker at West Point. General Manderson has compiled a series of tables designed to show that the military burden is insignificant in the United States compared with that borne by the subjects of the armed monarchies of Europe. These tables, we are informed, have been prepared “with very great care,” with the idea of having them “accurate beyond pos- sibility of dispute.” We are also in- formed that in so far as they refer to foreign countries the figures have been “brought down to the very latest date possible.” We have first a table showing the number of men in the army of each country, and its proportion to popu- lation. Next we have the area of each country, the ratio of soldiers to the square mile and of square miles to soldiers. It is all very interesting, but ought there not to be something more? Yes, and General Manderson has not forgotten it. We want to know how much all this costs, and here is his answer: Yr.of per War Betgat, Butget.capita 7631 3898 3 51 Tags. 86 24 1897 148 640,191 19 921,745, Pepataticn Rag he France... Germary 1°98, 1897 Great Britain 3, United States 75,0000 AI 1898.68 These figures for the United States look strangely small to those who have given the subject any attention. We lock at them more closely, and we find that they are for 1896, under a Demo- cratic administration, ard before the policy of imperialism was heard of. It ‘is only for foreign countries that these statistics are brought down “to the very latest date possible.” The actual army appropriation for the fiscal year 1901 is 114,220,095.55, which is nearly five times the amount under the Democratic regime. The tost of the army in 1896 was only $23,252,608. The rest of General Manderson’s $51,- 093,927 represents river and harbor and other non-military expenditures. Thus, even on the Republican statis- tician’s own showing, there are only three military powers in Europe that spend more on their armies than we are spending now. But that tells less than half the story. All the following expenditures, previded for in our ap- propriation bills fer the fiscal year 1901, are included in the European mil- itary budgets: Army Fortifications .. Military Academy ‘onsions « -$114,220.095.55 7,383,628.00 653,589.67 ++ 145,245,230.00 DOTAE i ci ripieain tin eae $267,502,543.22 How is this for militiarism? Nearly Couble the burden carried by Russia or Germany; more than double that of France; three times that of Austria or Great Britain; six times that under which Italy is staggering, and thirteen times the load that is breaking the back of Turkey. It put the United States far in the lead of all the mil- itary powers in the world in the cost of its military service. How does it improve matters from a Republican standpoint that we do not have much of an army to show for it? And this does not include the cost of the navy, on which we are properly spending more than any country in the world except England. SCHURZ AND GAGE. Secretary Gage recntly made the statement, with a view of stopping the movement of gold Democrats to the Bryan side in this campaign, that Mr. Bryan’s secretary of the treasury would be able to throw the country on a silver basis simply by making a large or exclusive use of silver in meeting the costs of government. ‘There would thus be established,” he said, “a ‘eireuit of silver out of the treasury into the hand of the people, from the people into the banks, from the banks into the custom house and into the hands of the collectors of internal reve- nue, and the government, properly speaking, would be on.a silver basis. Mr. Schurz denies the statement, writes the Duluth Evening Herald, and very properly criticizes Mr. Gage for| land has magnanimously led the way. adopting has the role of an alarmist and spreading false alarms that might cause trouble in financial circles. The attention of the secretary of the treas- ury is also drawn to two points that may not have occurred to him when he rushed into print with this “false alarm.” First, if his statement is true, the Republican party acted dis- honestly towards those who were promised that it would maintain the gold standard. Second, there will be another session of the present Repub- lican congress before the next presi- dent will be inaugurated. There will thus be ample opportunity for thé Re- publicans, as Mr. Schurz points out, “to pass any legislation required to make it utterly impossible for any president to break down the gold standard in the way Mr. Gage describes in his inter- view.” But Mr. Schurz might have gone fur- ther and shown that the treasury fig- ures tell a story which effectually turns Mr. Gage’s argument against himself. The treasury’s net cash fund, as shown by the last statement, was made up as follows? Gold coin and bullion...... $40,755,044 Gold certificates. ... 22,098,020 Silver coin and bullion 4,750,507 Silver certificates... 8,452,930 United States notes. 26,096,355 Other assets 17,259,742 Total in treasury...... $125,412,598 This is the fund directly under the control of the secretary and apart from the holdings of national bank deposit- aries. It will be seen from this table that of all the forms of money coming into the treasury, silver is made the largest use of by the present secretary in his disbursements. He obviously pays it out in preference to any other kind. He is evidently fairly forcing the stuff into circulation, and keeping it there. Of the nearly $500,000,000 sil- ver which has been coined or pur- chased by the government since 1878, all save about $13,000,000 is in circu- lation among the people, either in the form of certificates or coined dollars. And this small fraction of less than 3 per cent held by the treasury is the smallest of any of the secretary’s hold- ing in other varieties of money. Now, if, as Mr. Gage has said, the crowding of sliver out of the treasury and into circulation would suffice to force the country to a silver basis, he is shown by his own figures to be somewhat of a conspirator against the gold standard himself. He is nursing his gold holdings and crowding out the silver instead. He has so far succeed- ed in the latter effort that out of some $500,000,000 of silver only $13,000,000 is left in the treasury—whereas his gold holdings exceed $62,500,000; and, he asks the country to believe that the paying out of this remnant by a Bryan secretary of the treasury would pre- cipitate.a panic and cause a drop to the silver basis. But the actual imme- diate result of paying out the silver remnant would be rather an increase in the-treasury’s gold holdings and the strengthening of the treasury’s position in respect to-the gold standard. The ingeniousness of the secretary in making up his extraordinary statement is brought sharply into question by the figures of the department under his own management. He has sacrificed truth for the sake of trying to make political capital. ROOSEVELT AND THE VOLUN- TEER. If any Minnesota volunteer imagines that he hasa sympathetic “fellow sol- dier” in Roosvelt, who comes west soon, we ask that misguided militia- man to learn what Roosevelt really thinks of him. When the war depart- ment was selecting troops for Puerto Rico Roosevelt sent this letter to the secretary of war. He will not deny its authenticity, because it is in the official records: t “Santiago, July 23, 1898. “My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am writing with the knowledge and ap- proval of Gen. Wheeler. We earnestly hope that vou will send most of the regulars and at any rate the cavalry division, including the rough riders, who are as good as any regulars and three times as good as any state troops, to Puerto Rico,” etc., ete. Mr. Roosevelt’s idea that rough rid- ers led by Roosevelt, of course, were three times as good as any state troops, may appeal to the average Minnesota man who enlisted for his country—and then again it may not! Gen. Alger, then secretary of war, replied that the volunteers were just as ood as any troops in the service, and advised Roosevelt to quit talking so foolish.—(The Winona Herald.) THE ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND. Under the caption “A Great Alli- ance,” the Daily Republican of Red Wing, edited by the head of the Re- publican party management in this state, on May 27, 1898, came out boldly in favor of an alliance with England thusly: “The alliance between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race is becoming something more than a mere theory or speculation. It is already far advanced to the rank of fact. And in this, too, we find one of the results of war which is worth no small meas- ure of the loss of blood and treasure that we are likely to sustain. It is race movements that govern in history. Individuals and _ policies change; but the great tie of race affil- jiation persists; ‘and it is today, in the broad sense, as it has always been, a question of what race is fittest to sur- vive, to subdue the world and to dom- inate it. Whatever that race may be, and we have but one possible answer to the questiom, the different branches of that race must draw together, get ready to stend shoulder to shoulder, and resist the common assault upon them, whose coming is a matter only of time. “What the Anglo-Saxon race has done, as represented by the, triumphs of Englishmen and American in the four quafters of the globe, is <he war- rant for calling this the race of the future. But Europe has other an- swers; and already they who hate the Anglo-Saxon and would crush him are drawing closer their alliances and lay- ing their plots and counterplots. When the enemy closes up his lines, that should be the signal for order of battle on our part; and the Anglo- Saxon can meet the coming assault only by a union of forces that shall sway the world. “The memory of ancient ccntests has kept us foolishly apart.. The time has is } sage: In this time of our danger, she stood between us and the hate of-Eu- Tope, and Ler statesmen do not hesi- tate to prophesy the future alliance as! their accepted policy. Let us accept the hand so freely offered; We of the same blood must stand together against’ the world; and with England and America holding firm alliance, the very, gates of hell and the wrath of Goth and Vandal shall not prevail against tem.” McKinley’s administration will rank in expensiveness with any former ad- ministration in the history of thecoun- try, not even excepting the Lincoln ad- ministration during the rebellion, writes the Omaha World-Herald. For, over two years now the government has been pouring forth its treasury, without stint in making preparation for and in conducting foreign wars, and now at this date the disbursements are going on greater than ever. The draughts from the Philippine war are steadily increasing, while the Chinese campaign is making heavy inroads in- to the treasury. During the month of August the cost cf running the govern- ment was nearly $},000,000 more than the receipts from all sources. To realize the full import of this loss it should be remembered that during Au- gust a year ago there was a surplus in the treasury of $4,500,000. The rela- tive loss, therefore, is more than $5,- 000,000 for the past month. Accord- ing to the report of the treasurer for the mcenth just closed the total receipts, of the government were $49,688,755, as against $49,978,173 for August of lase year. The expenditures were $50,500,- 198, which was $4,947,887 more than during the same period a year ago. The expenses of the navy were in- creased $868,588 and were $5,456,553 for the month just passed. The expenses of the army were $250,309 greater than in the previous year and were $15,231,- 700. The largest increase, however, was in the civil and miscellaneous ac- count, which was $11,869,782, an in- crease of $4,305,330 over the same budget for August, 1899. Part of this heavy loss is credited to the cost of the census and the redemp- tion of Porto Rican coins, but even granting this, is it not evident t 2t the government is pursuing a course that may well cause all thoughtful citizens to inquire, *“Whicher Are We Drifting?” HAMILTONIANISM VERSUS DE- MOCRACY. The Springfield Republican suggests that Speaker Henderson’s cry for a re- vival of Hamiltonianism is not liable to be echoed by men who know from their historical studies what Hamil- ton’s ideas in government were, says the Duluth Evening Herald. Speaker Henderson declares that he wants a man elected to the presidency who be- lieves in those doctrines. Does he in- clude Hamilton’s aristocratic theories in his approbation? Does he know what kind of a government it was that Alexander Hamilton wished the thir- teen American colonies to set up after the war of independence? In Mr. Lodge’s biography of Hamilton the Massachusetts senator describes the “republic” which the great revolution- ary statesman advocated, in this pas- “The republic of Hamilton was to be an aristocratic republic as dis tinguished from a democratic republic, and the power of the separate states was to be effectually crippled. The first object was to be obtained by com- mitting the choice of the president and senators, who were to hold office dur- ing good behavior, to a class of the community qualified to vote by the possession of a certain amount of real property. The second was to be se- cured by giving to the president of the United States the appointment of gov- ernors of the various states, who were to have a vote on all state legislation. These provisions, as may be seen at a glance, involved the essential char- acter of the government, and although purely republican, came much nearer to the British model than any other by their recognition of classes and of the political rights of property.” There you have Alexander Hamil- ton’s proposed philosophy stripped and exposed. Hamilton was a remarkable man, but his ideas were not in the least democratic. They will not make a good issue in this campaign. HELPFUL TO ALL. The Glencoe Enterprise:—Governor Lind deserves to be, and without fear of disappointment it is confidently predicted that he will be re-elected by an increased majority. A lawyer of broad. learning he has been his own chief counsellor: of studious habits he has familiarized himself with all the duties pertaining to his high position. and by reason of his various attain- ments both native and acquired bs has been helpful to the legislature cad the business man as well ds to the teach- er, the farmer and the common man of toil. John Lind don’t have to rely on nationality or accidental birth for re-election; thousands who voted against him two years ago, but who recognize true merit will help swell his majority in 1900: A PATRIOTIC DUTY. The National Republican:—Nation- al Republican will support Bryan and Stephenson as a patriotic duty. It is the only way to preserve a republicam form of government for the United States. If McKinley is elected we will have an imperial President supported by militarism and trust corruption. It Bryan is electe? Lincolnian republic- anism will bless the nation and peace and prosperity will return to the homes of the masses. We are at the beginning of the two ways—one leading to monarchy, the ether to a government by the people for the people. Every Lincolnian will choose the latter. Every honest, pat- riotie Populist will vote for Bryan and Stevenson. By this act they do not abandon Populism. It is like join- ing a neighbor for mutual protection against an attack from highwaymen. Our national inheritance is in great peril, and he who refuses to unite for its protection is a traitor. When Bryan is elected each patriot can re- turn to his own political home honor- ed by his devotion to the largest lib- erty to the greatest number. The Nevada Democratic and Silver parties have effected fusion and nom- inated Francis G. Newlands for con- gress. T.
