'Fully prepared to do job work of every description. SATURDAY, AIUG, 25. 1900. Twin Evlls-Expa inon and Imper iali~sm. The war tagainst Sp.in was an act of hutma:trt. .justitied by the basic principles of our republican form of goverunment, anwI fully authorized by conrgres to ftee a patriotic people from the thralldem of a cruel and blood thirty despotism. It rcquir'ei but three short months for the Awe:ican aimy and navy to subdue the Sp army and destroy its naval squadrons. and thus eman cipating Cuba and Porto Rico from opp resiion and misrule. Up to this point President McKin ley had not transcen led the authority of cor:gross nor violated the spirit anti genius of the constitut on Fighting in a righteous cause for tht extension of the principles of liberty the valor of American soldiers andi seamen won a twift victory over the feeble resistance of an effete mornar chv. The despotisms of the Olid 'TWorld stood aghast at the woderfu; strength, sublime courage and bril. liant miltary skill shown by this1 youtng giant of the western continent, It excited both their apprehension and a,nuiration and for the first time wade monarchies respect the flag of our Republic. At the same time. unfortunately. Mr. McKiu!ty and his cabinet became intoxicated over the fruits of our great victories, and by the advice of Englanl, concluded to ho'd the Pl:t'. lipine islands by purehasiig the s'nm. blance of a title from Spain for the suro of $20.000.000, and launch into the colonization and conquest bus., ness. When the Filipinos, who had I been our al;ies against Spain, asked for the privilege of organizing a re. publican govetinent similar to the United States, they were curtly told no, and that they must submit ann comnditionally to United States auth ority. Very naturally, the Filipinos who had become imbued with the spirit of liberty n(l had been pro. misal it by Admiral Dewey, refused to submit as it would only be chang log masters. President McKinley, without auth ority of congreu, then made war upon these people, who ever since have been making a gallant def. se of their homes ant rightful soil, and while being butchered mercilessly by our troops continue to fight in the face of diaasters andt defeat. Spain could not conquer them in three centuries and what little terri tory slle did get a footing upon had to be maintained by a large standing army. The United States have been fighting them with an army of from 301,000 to 10,000 men for one and a half years, with a loss of about 5.000 mei, anld an expense of over one hundrd millions diolars and still the Filipinos are not subjugated. They will resist the United States just as they did Spain. It will requisre a standing army of 100,000 men to keep those 9,000.000 of semi bar. barouns people in subjection. And what do we gain ?

Boodle lFad. The g-eatest muniment of power that Mark flanna holds in thhs campaign is the inexhaustible corruption fund subsenbed by the great Trusts to re elect Mr. McKinley and by accom plishing this perpetuate their own existence. But judging from the signs of the times we believe the man and not the dollar will count in I the approaching e!ection. Imperialism and Trusts are the paramount issues with the American people in this campalgn and over. shadow all othler pat ly questions. They see that the only way a check can hie given to both' tirapeia'ism'm and domination of Trusts as to defeat the reelection of Mr. McKinley., This explains the defection of soI many prominent Republican leaders A X;niater's Good Work. "I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlaiu's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedr, took two doses andi was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My neighb-r across thestreet was sick for ov.-r a week, had two or three bottles of meditcine from the doctor. He used them for three om four days without relief, then cel:ed in another doctor who treated him for some ,lays and gave lhim no relet, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. IHe sold his bowels were in a terrible fixh. that they had been runing offso long that it was almost h!codly. I asked him if hie had tried Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera andi Diarrhoea Remedy nod he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him to tatke another 'dose In fifteen or twenty minates it he did not find rehlief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

The traveling man, that is the coim mercial travelers, are just now very busily engaged in sending Out anti trust literature. This is being distr., buted through the hotels and those of this city have received their first hatch to i lv. The inter'stiig thing about the literature is that people actually take time to stop and read some of it. No better evidence could be shown of the general and deep interest in this I paramount polical question. The little pamphlet which is find ing its way into the lobbies of thel local hostelries is entitled, "Talkative Fa'ti," and is edited by the Commer cial Travelers and Hotel Men's Anti-Tiust League. The leading article is headed: "The Ouly Great issue," and iu the way of introduction and pre:u le iti says: "Smash the Trusts! That is the real issue of this presidential campaign. •'All other issues are insiguificant by comparison. "When the Trusts and their rulers are smashed, then, and not till then, can the government be restored to the peop!e. This is now a govein ment by syndicate. • No hone-st and intelligent peisoan doubts but that election of Willai Jennings Bryan and the return of the Democratic party to power the Trusts. aud their rulers would le smnshied and the government restored to the people. 'Out of the suffering of the com i mercial travelers first sprung the Trust issue. They were the first to feel the trust oppression, when more than 35,00 of their number were thrown out of employment and the majority of those left on the road under went reduction. '"The commercial travelers, na usual, propose to keep right on sell ing goods, and therefore were not meek and lowly. They made a most vigorous -kick,' which attracted att'n tion from one end of the country to the other. Then sprang up the Trust issue, which took form in a great sp)eech Judge Augustus Van Wyck, acting as the champion of the comrn mercial triveler. "This iýsi'e hr.s grown, and will not stop until every criminal trust has had its death knell sound. The commercial traveler is famous as a winner the world over, and he will make the trust issue win. While he, with thu hotel men of the country. have taken the lead in forcing this issue to the front, every middleman is equally interested. "No man, except Mark lhanna, has dared to publicly defend the trusts. In opposition to the trusts every middlenman can be rallied Then it will not be a question of partisan politics. "Let it be simply an organization against trusts for defen'e p':rposes, using William Jennings Bi-yan and the Democratic party as the only available instruments for their des. truction. "We must fight the Republican party which fosters and encourages trusts. Otherwise our influence can not be felt or enforced in an effective manner. "The c·ommercial traveler, on sc. count of his superior intelligence and( facilities for meeting people, is the greatest evangelist on the face of the earth. "'Let us use our great advantage in an orgauized way, for with us, .;s with all middllemen, it is a case of 'selfpreservation is the first law of nature.' "lark flanna an l the trusts mu t go."- States. SDrummers are good talkers and Swith 35 000 of them working for the Bryan ticket will give Mark Hanna no small degree of uneasiness in this camp'mign. Tlhey are better than orators. Bryan Will Restore The Republic. "The election of Bryan will mean the c·omplete arrest of our progress towards an empire and will restore the republic to its an cient state. It will check the growth of harmful trusts and prevent those trusts from being monopolies that will strongle, if let alone, the enterprise and profits Ile industry of the masses. "On the other hand the elcction ofl McKinley wi:l be rgarded as an en dorsement of all the sets of his administration, good, bad and inliff. orent, and will cntinue-theexpersive and ruiamn s policy of forcing our flag and our rule over alien peoples who simply desire and fight for their own lilber'y and independence as the founl'ers of this republic ftuglht fr theirs and ours.
