(Applause.) Now, my friends, I bave stated the case of Florida Allow me to state the case of Alnska. In 1867, when Nebraska was about to be admitted into the union, the govern- | ment, under Andr Johuson and by and with the consent of the father of this gen- tleman, who was then a delegate from this tertitory, bought the territory of Alaska for $7.200,000, They 10 not glve the A Kans any opportunity to say whether or not they wanted to secode Russia and be eome citlz o ihjects of 1t United Btates The ere taken into the union, that s, under the flag, but not given ar rights n anything mor than the natural r that all men have to live, the Hght to be free the right to pursue their own atl They have been governed for thirty-three years and are still gov- erned without any territorial representa tion In congress and without any volce in thetr government, and yet we are told that wa' are violating the declaration and con stitution in the Philippines. It Is & ques tlon even now whether if the Filipinos had the right they could govern themselves But 1 us see, Vhat does the democratic party propose? They have sald that the re- publican party has done wrong. What do thoy propose? They say they are down on fmperfalism and militarism. They propose, they say, to disband the army and at the wame time they propose to protect the Fili- pinos against their own local insurrections and rebelltons und against the encroachment of foreign nations. You cannot eat your ple and still have it, (Laughter.) You cannot protect the Filipinos without an army. You cannot keop foreign nations from this little mation without an army and navy and you have got to maintain an army whether you act as a protectorate or whether you act as & wovereign power, and vet all the responsi- bility for property, for life and for the wel- fare of the Filipinos 1s and would be with the United States government. Asks a Pertinent Question. ow let me ask my friend a question: Does ho believe that a protectorate can be established on the lines of the Declaration of Independence without first obtainiug the eonsent of these people? You say that these people are exasperated. They know that we have shot down some of their people and burned their villages. They hate the people of the United States today and they hate each other—at least those who alded In the loyal support of the United States are hated by the others, and you say that they must submit to a protectorate. Now suppose that they choose not to submit and do not ask for a United Btates protectorate. What would you say 0 that? They have a right to do it If the consent of the governed properly applies. (Applause.) And then how are you going to sovorn? For example, I am walking down the atreet, or my friend, for he Is a taller man and a more gallent gentleman. He steps up to & young woman walking in a rain torm without an umbrella and says: Miss, want to hold my umbrella, over you to protect you from the rain, and the Miss turns 'round and makes a face at him and walks across to another fellow and gets him to protect her and leayes his umbrella vacant. (Laughter.) Now that is likely to happen. Supposa we had a protectorate and actually conceded to these Tagalo Filipinos the right to govern themselves, by what right can they govern the other tribes in these slands without thelr consent? Five mil- lons ou one side and about 5,000,000 on the other. What right have these Tagalos to force upon the sultan of the Sulu islands, about whom we will hear presently—(ap- plause and laughter)—what right have they &0t to go to all these other different potentites and ask them to submit to their government in preference to the government of the United States? Have you got the consent of the gov- erned? You must go clear through wish it all the way. You must ask all these people whether they want to be governed that way. If they don’t, what 1s going to hap- pen? The government of the United States is pledged to all the nations of the earth for good government and it will have to tntervene und fight battles for the sake of the Filipinos in order to enable them to lord it over the other people. Why, we might just as well have decreed that the | Sloux Indians shall govern the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes and give the privilege to the Sloux of Whipping them in while we support them with our army and become responsible for what property they might destroy fn thelr wars with other Indians SENT FREE T0 MEN A Most Remarkable Remedy That Quickly Restores Lost Vigor to Men.

The imperlal trust is here and yet there has not beenan earnest offort of this attorney general to prose cute the trusts. We know, who must buy, we know that the evil of them (s on one , but we do not know all of the evil that comes from trusts It I have the time I want to tell you a Iit- tle story, a true tale, which I have verified by a traveling man In this state a few | months ago. He represented the Page Iron Fence company of Adrian, Mich, To a hotelkeeper he’ saye: “I do not know when T will ¢ e to yon again because the fence company for which I work s up azainst the real thing” He says: “It waw asked to go Into the Iron fence com biation and it refused. A week after that time my employers tried to buy some fence wire. The sent an order to a wire factory. The factory refused to fll it Another did and a third one did and finally | they found cut that wll the factories wore n oa wire trust and the wire trust had agreed with the fence trust that it would ot sell wire to any factory not In the wire fence trust and this man, still courageous, finding that he could not buy In the United States any wire, tele graphed to England to get the price and ne got it, but when he added the tariff to the price he found he could not import and manufacture his fence at & profit. There he was, between the trust on one side and the tariff on the other, absolutely prohibited from doing business unless ha went into tha trust. | flag is in Chioa now, but the Amerlcan | constitution has not followed it into China jor any part of It (Applause.) | The flag s an emblem of soverelgnty, I | say, and the constitution is in force simply in the states that went into the compct und under which the unton was formed But the territories and dependencies—tor | 1 vay dependencies and I defy my opponent | to dlsprove that we have had dependencies | from the beginning of our government-—are | koverned by congress and the president ot | the United States, as our supreme court | | decided time and again. Whenever a new | | state 1s admitted two acts have to be! | passed by congress. One, an enabling act | | giving the citizens equal rights and im- | munities enjoyed by all the other cltizens. | And let me remind this gentleman that | when Nebraska first offered her constitu- | tion to congress it was rejected without | the consent of the peonle of Nebrasku. | (Applause.) We made a constitution for ourselves and had in it the word “white” | and they struck out that word and we had to take the constitution back and revise it. That principle {s well laid down that two acts have got to be passed, the enabling act and an act extending the statutes of the United States over the state to be ad- mitted. The statutes of the United States | |do not govern anywhere except in the | |states. They are not self-expanding. They | are not like an India rubber blanket. They | | have got to be extended by congressional act. And all the territories of the United | States and the people thereof must re- | main under congressional supervision | until they are recelved as states into the union. While I have had my views as to the policy of expansion clear out into Asiatic | waters, 1 have no question at all as to the right of the United States to govern | their newly-bought territory and the duty | of the chiet executive to compel every man, woman and child living therein to submit themselves to the laws, even by | force of arms, it need be. (Cries ot “Hear, hea applause.) I think that ought to be answer enough to that question. Now as regards the regulation of the deb: Ot course my friend insists that he has got to regulate me, but I am going to regulate myself a little bit when I get to it.

(Applause.) and prolonged Question of How to Deal with Trusts 1s Discussed by the Debaters —Hitchcock Opeuns. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1| would net for a moment have wmy opponent suspect that I have any hesitancy about spending the rest of this evening, or all of next week, in discussing imperiallsm. When, however, it was decided to go into this debate each specified that trusts should be one of the subjects discussed and I en- deavored to Introduce it. Now, however, as he desires to go further upon this ques- tion of imperialism, I am rejolced to meet him, He says that the United States has always had dependencies. He refers to territories, and every one of these territories, all the peuple in those territories have always had | before them the star of hope and the promise of the future that one day they would be- come soverelgn states of the United States and citizens with the American people. Do you hold out that promise to the people of the Philippine islands? That is all they want. He says that the flag is in China. Does he propose to keep the flag forever in China? He says that where the flag has once been railsed Mr. McKinley will always maintain it. 1 ask him why—why hasn't he kept it fiylng in those twenty broad miles of Alaskan territory (Applause.) Why at the behest of the gold-grabblug empire of Great Britaln did ho pull it down? Ho goes far back In my newspaper an- cestry and recites that once upon & time the |old Herald condemned Abraham Lin- coln, Well, I want to remind him that the man who was the editor of the Herald in that day 1s today support- ing William McKinley. (Applause.) | Agaln T come to the question of troets, A trust is an evil. In the present administra- tion, it has been computed by an eminent authority; the great anti-trust attorney gen- eral of Ohio, who has been driven from the | republican party because he fought the trust, has computed that not less than 406 great trust corporations have been or- ganized during this administration, more than during the whole previous history of the United States. We have upon our federal statue books, passed in 1890, the | Sherman antl-trust law, of tremendous power to crush the trusts. That great statute empowers the federal cougress to punish those who engage in trusts crimi- nally. It empowers congress to act within | the United States by injunction to restrain | trusts from operating. It provides for dis- | solving and wiping out trusts and it pro- vides practically for outlawing trusts by di- recting that when a trust is known to exist wnd when 1t bas its products traveling be- tween the states it is the duty of the at- | torney general of the United States and his seventy-six district attorneys to seize the property of the trusts and coufiscate it And yet during this present administration there has only been three cases in which the trusts have been brought futo court; one Ageinst a coal company and failed for lack of jurisdiction, and one against a coal com- pany that succeeded, and another 1s pend- ing. And with all these district attorney like Summers, the attorney general of the United States has never issued an order to any of them to proceed against trusts be- cause the president of the United States, | the | party has | tectea | that were Issued by the president for the The trust on one &ide and the tarift on the other—the tariff, the mothar and the republican party, trusts. (Applause ) Now. I ask my friend again to say, what does the republican party propose to do this great evil? The democratlo a remedy. Most of the articles ufactured by the truste are pro- from outside competition by the We propose ns of the remedies the father of tarif. of the demc tie party and of the great Willlam J.

Rosewnter Corrects Hitcheoek, My friend bas put so many garbled edi- torials into his paper within the past ten | years that ho has become used to garbling other people's expressed from a platform. He tells you' that [ sald here that wherever the flag floats McKinley is bound to keep it floating for- ever and he has made the declaration here that we have committed ourselves to the perpetual government of the Philippines whatever may happen. Now there Is no truth in that. I have never given utter- ance to any such language. On the con- trary, I stated that while the flag s in China the constitution has not followed ft and never would. He wants to know how soon the flag will leave China. The flag will leave China when Chinamen will respect the rights of humanity. (Applause.) When China becomes ctvilizod so (hat she will re- spect the rights of Christian nations the flag of tho United $tates will b withdrawn from China. The action of McKinley, which was one that every human being on the face of the globe who has any sentiment of humanity has approved, has been con- demand in this campalgn when all the world ‘had nothing but respect and admira- tion for the policy that our president has pursued in China with the rest of the na- tlons, yet the administration is ridlculed and it is charged with impertallsm. (Ap- plunse.) It has been charged that the Filipinos are being treated as slaves and vassals, and what is the fact? Here are the Instructions governmont of the Filipinos: “Until congress shall tuke action I demanad that Upon every division and branch of the government of the Philippines must be im- posed these inviolabla rules “That no person shall be deprived of 1ife, Itberty or property without due process of la: That private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. “That n all eriminal prosecutions the ac- | cused shall enfc* the riz*t to a speedy and public trial, to & .med of the nature | and causa of the accusation, to be con- fronted with the witnesses agalnst them, | to have cowipulsory process for obtaining witnesses In their favor and to have the asslstance of counsel for thelr defense. “That excessive ball shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted. “That no person shall be put twice in Jeopardy for the same offense or be com- pelled in any case to be & witness agalnst himself. That the right to be secure againat un- reasonable searches and selzures shall not be vielated. “That neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist except as & punish- ment for orfme. “That no bill of attalnder or ex-post facto law shall be passed. “That no law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the rights of the people to peaceably aseemble and potition the government for a redress of grievances. That 5o law shall be made respecting the establishment of religion of prohibiting the freo exercise thereof and that the free ex- ercise and enjoyment of profession and wor- ship without discrimination or preference shall forsver be allowed. “It will be the duty of the commission to | promote and extend and, as they find occasfon, to improve the system of educa- tion already inaugurated by the military authoritles. In dolug this they should re- gard as of first importance the extension of the system of primary education which shall be free to all and which shall tend to fit the people for the dutles of citizen- #hip and for the ordinary avocation of civilized community. * * ® Especlal at- tention should be glven to affarding opportunity to the people of the fslands to quire the use of the English language, “Upon all ofcers and employes of the United States, both civil and military, should be impressed a sense of the duty to observe not merely the material, but the personal and soclal rights of the people of the islands and to treat them with the same courtesy | and respect for their personal dignity which the people of the United States are ac- customed from each other." ow I ask, fellow citizens, whether this malkes the Filipinos subjects or makes them vassals of the United States of America? | (Cries of “No, no.'') It gives them pre- | cisely the same rights that you enjoy ex- cepting the rights that are acquired by statehood——the right to vote and the right to participate in national government. But even these rights and privileges may in due time be extended to them. Now what Is best for these people? What can ba done under the condition you abandon the islands now? (Volices No, no.")

And {n the Chicago trust | conference, held last year, Mr. Bryan and myself were both delegates. In that trust conference at Chicago I formulated cer- the chief remedy proposed was the re- vision of the constitution of the United | States by a national constitutional con- vention. (Applause.) Mr. Bryan fully agreed with me that the present laws— (laughter)—well, 1 don't take a back weat for Bryan. (Prolonged applause and I claim to be his poer in all things except the accident of birth. Voted Down by Democra: Now Mr. Bryan admitted that a con- stitutional amendment was necessary in order that we might have the trusts prop- erly regulated or abollshed. They now pretend that they want to destroy them. Let us look at it. When the house ot representatives last June passed a con- stitutional amendment, an amendment that would authorize congress to regulate and abollsh trusts, they deliberately voted that constitutional amendment down—130 democrats in the house of representatives voted against it. Mr. Bryan tries to make light of that matter, but the fuct is that they voted it down because it was votcd up by the republicans in the house. (Ap- plause.) The democratic party is mothing but a party of obstruction and opposiion. (Applause and hisses.) In 1856 we de- clared in favor of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and they walted just forty-four years to come to the same conclusion. (Applause and laughter.) They have al- ways contented themselves with op- position and dertruction rather than with comstruction. Thelr statesmen esimply oppose everything that the other party advocates and that is the reason why they do not succeed (applause) and that 1s the reason they will not succeed this fall. (Prolonged applause.) Now, the only true remedy ever proposed for the regulation of trusts was voted down by the demecrats in the house of representatives on the eve of this great campaign because of the fear that the re- publican party might get some credit out of it. It has been sald here by my opponent 18 the mother of trusts. | The tariff I not an American lnvention. The tariff *was introduced in Franca 200 years before the Americans thought of it The tariff was introduced there and made the great industries of France what they are today. It was through the Interven- | tion of England after the battle of Blen- heim that the tariff fn France had to be abolished. It was ropealed because the duke of Mariborough, commanding the British army, dictated the terms of peace with Louls XVI and those terms were in part that the tariff must be repealed in order to glve the English manufacturers the advantage and give them an oppor- tunity to compete with the French in their own country. (Applause.) The tarift was iatroduced in the United States by the whig party before the birth of the repub- lican party. The tariff was advocated by Henry Clay, great an American and patriot as ever lived. (Applause.) And the tariff today, if it were removed or if it were partially removed, would abso- lutely ruin many of the manufacturing in- dustries of the United States. (Applause.) Now, we are told that the tariff h created trusts. Why, we kunow that potato vines beget potato bugs. I kuow that out in Celorado they advocated the use of the bugs, but they killed the plant also. (Applause and laughter.) You can abolish the tariff if you will and you can also de- stroy nlue-tenths of the factories In the United States and beggar almost all the workmen just to please Mr. Bryan and my worthy opponent over here. (Applause and laughter.) The trusts, as I say, must be dealt with and should be dealt with and they will be. The republican natlonal con- vention has so declared. But they must be dealt with sensibly. You cannot destroy all these corporate concerns. You can only regulate and prevent the evil. You may have & cancer, but you do not chop off the patient’s head to effect a cure. (Applau and laughter.) The fact remains that we must d2al with the evils that beset us im a rational, statesmanlike manner and we are going to do it, and the republican party must be retained in power in order to bring about the result. (Applause.) Hitchcock Replies. Mr. Rosewator ls afraid of ruining the industries of the country It we take the tarlff off from the trusts. I want to read you a telegram which I received today from the mayor of Adrian, Mich., and this is the second chapter of the history of the strugglo of the Page Woven Wire Fence company against the trusts.

He sald the democrats {n congress voted down what the republicans proposed as a constitu- | tional amendment. They did, snd they dld right. The amendment was a farce. It was introduced, not at the begiuning of Mr. McKinley's term in March, 1507. 1t was not introduced in 1895, It was not \ntroduced n 1899, © It was not introduce until five days before congress adjourne (ast June.
