But Mr. Bryan does not preach the doctrines of Lincoln. He garbles Lincoln's utterances and gives them a meaning Lincoln e S T his Labor day speech at Chicago he made it ap- pear that Lincoln apprehended that an attempt would be made to place the dollar above the man, and that thereby the ltberties of the people would be destroyed by capital. The quotation reads as I taken bodily from Lin- | coln's first annual message to Congress. In- stead, it is made up of disconnected sentences aken here and there from a message that was discussing the monarchita: tendencles of the slave States, was contrasting the slave labor in the South and the hired laborer in North, the hopelessness of the former and the independence and helpfulness of the latter, but which in no way was colored by any such de- moralizing rhetoric as that which Bryan at- tempted to zive to it. Lincoln was the last man to attempt to mount ambition's ladder upon the rungs made of class dissension and Internecine strife. recognized the catholicity of labor, the respect due to honest toll, the interdependence of labor and capital, the protection due to employer and employe alike, and he voiced this sentiment in that part of this message which Mr. Bryan to quote. He said: ‘Labor Is prior to and Independent of capital. Capital 1s only the fruit of labor and could never have existed it labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as other rights."

Your boasted friends are the enemles of our country, and are thriving on the en- couragement and support derived from you as Senator from South Dakota. I had two sons in the Philippine rebellion, and your politi- cal consort, Judge Moore, prayed that thei god of battles would strengthen the arm of their opponents, that they might drive these sons and their comrades into the sea.

In this regard President McKinley very pertinently “If our opponents would practice as well as preach the doctrines of Abraham Lin- coln there wol be no fear for the safe- | ty of our instituitions at home or| thelr rightful influence In any territory over which cur flag floats.” In this regard Presi- dent McKinley can very appropriately refer Mr. Bryan to Lincoin’s first inaugural address wherein he said, “The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the ; itableness Mr Bryan was, therefore, dishonest in so as- ing Lincoln’s great nams to fan the flame of discord between wage-earners and wage- payers. This dishonesty was again aj In a subsequent speech, wherein he said *“If he is a wage-earner, and you do not know how £0on he may be even If he is not now, is he cafe when he is liable to be deprived of trial jury through the system known as gov- nt by injunction? . Bryan is a lawyer. He knows the consti- tutlon of the United States and of every State. He knows that the right of trial by jury 1s arent guaranteed in every constitution drawn by the | e the Magna Charta and | that no human power desires to or can take 1t away from the humblest pauper that begs for alms upon our public sireets. He knows that no man under the American Government is liable to be deprived of trial by jury through government by injunction or by anything else except by the anarchy he, Bryan, is inciting. He kncws the province o the writ of injunction, to wit: To prevent the dotng or continuing of an act damage that no court of law in its usual course | can redress, such as the infringement of a pat- ent right, of a copyright, of a trademark, polluting or shutting off of water, the commis- slon of waste, the conspiring of tradesmen or manufacturers or rallroads in violation of the interstate commerce act or of striking laborers to prevent by force commerce by rail between the States or the transportation of the malls. He knows that this preventive remedy has been applied alike to employer and employe; that it broke up the combination of railroads to con- trol the trafic between the Missouri and the Pacific and the combinaticn of coal dealers In this city to keep up the price of coal as wall as the combination of Dehs and his assoclates to stop the running of trains. He knows that it Is & contempt of court to disobey its writs, whether of Injunctlon or ciherwise; that courts must have the summary power to mete out the | immediate punishment fcr such disobedience; that without such power courts might as weil close their doors and the judlicial ermine give place to the redcoat of anarchy, the woolsack to the guillotine, He knows that the railroad officlals and coal dealers would have been pun- ished by fine and imprisonment if they had discbeyed the injunctions issued agalinst them. He knows that the strik!ng workingmen defled the mandates of the courts and were punished solely for such disobedlence, as courts have done under the wisest Judges since English law was known, and he knows that such punish- ments have not in the least impaired to any man the right of trial by jury. I say, therefore, that in the above uterauce he was dishonest with the people and sowed the wind from which they may reap the whirlwind, and therein he wandered as far from the path that Lincoln trod as did the path of Robesplerre diverze from that of ‘Washington. hd bt o But say the Bryanites, “We acquired all our previous territory with the Intention to occupy the soll with our 4————————¥ own people and | eventually to ad- mit it Into the Union as a State.”” New Mexico and Arizona were ac- | quired in 148 with | & promise of state- hood, and this promise has not yet been kept. though over fifty years have gone by. Alaska was acquired in 1857 under no such promise, and she has just obtained local government. Its admission as a Territory and the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as States depend solely upon the will of Congress l Treatment of | | Recent ‘i | | | Acquisitions. | In the meantime we have given Porto Rico a more independent government gave to any of the Territories. We have treat- ed her more generously. The other Territories we tax to support a government in which they were denied representation. To Porto Rico we than we ever or taxation, and we are ready to treat the Phil- ippines in the same manner. But, independent of all this, what is the difference in principle between imposing government upon New Mex- ico against the consent of its people and treat- ing the Filipinos in the same way? Did the fact that we intended to occupy New Mexico with our own people, and that we expected in Que course of time to agmit it into the Union justity us in imposing upon the New Mexicans a government against which they rebelled, if all governments derive their just powers only from the consent of the governed? Has the fact that we id so treat them: that we put down their rebellion with the sword; that after the | He | that would cause | | | Spain; that has bu bave given every dollar we have taken by tarir | vulture from the islands of the sea. the lapse of over half a century we have mot kept our promise as to statencod imperialize our Government? Is there a single fundamental principle of our constitution, except trial by jury, that we have not extended to both Porto Rico and the Philippines? There Is none. There is no distinction between our conduct in the two acquisitions. The policy we adopted at the start we still continue. It will take time to eradicate from our Isl possessions the evil effects of centuries of Spa ish misrule. For some time we must in the Philippines sustain the law with visible force until confidence s bred of justice, and the hus- bandman learns that he will reap what he sows, unmolested by native brigand or Governmental bandit. This will require a standing army. A great hue and cry is raised against a large standing army, and from the pages of history are culled the bloody records that standing armies have fmprinted there of their onslaushi upon the lives and liberties of the people. Hi: tory, like the Bible, can be used to prove ar crime or virtue that human fears or hopes may concetve. But history is but an incomplete ax inaccurate rarrative of the past. It tells not ing of the living present. It is for to-day and to-morrow that we are now planning and leg- islating. The people of this century and the next are to produce the soldfers for our army. This army will be of the same warp and woof | as the people whom it is feared they will op- press.

Willlam McKinley is one of the thres great | presidents whose names shall be remembered throughout all time, and whose administrations mark the three great epochs {n the history of this nation. i \Washinzton brought order out of chaos, united the disunited ploneers of freedom, and laid plumb and true the cornerstome of the | srandest volitical edifice ever reared by the | hand of man, this temole of liberty sheltering for all time government of the people, by the people and for the people. Lincoln unlocked the manacles of the slave, made the bondman free and cemented in blood these diverse sovercigntles into a Union one and indivisible, now and forever. | MeKinley loosed the American eagle that it might wing its flight and drive the Spanish opened the door through which this nation will march to a grandeur vet unknown, and proclatmed to the listening pations that the United States has taken Its rightful place on the right of the line of the world powers, and that its flag, alke | in the Orient and the Occident, its red, white and blue flashing equally in the light of tha set- ting and the rising sun. means everywhere the lightening of man's burdens, the lifting up of God's people. It is sald of McKinley as it was said of Lin- coln, that he holds his car close to the ground keeping step to the rhythm of the people's tread.
