Mr. McKinley’s letter of acceptance brings things new and old out of his treasure, like the householder of Scrip- ture, says the New York Evening Post, Independent Republican. Some of the controversial weapons he uses, how- ever, with surprising carelessness. In slashing at his opponents he makes ribbons of his own previous argument. For example, he now prints a hitherto suppressed dispatch to Dewey’s, dated July 25, 1898, and saying “Merritt's most difficult problem will be how to deal with the insurgents under Agui- naldo, who have become aggressive and even threatening toward our army.” See there,” cries the grieved and indignant president, “the insur- gents wanted to fight us even before the peace protocol was signed!” If one could cross examine this im- mune witness, many pertinent ques- tions would be asked. Why publish this one of Dewey’s dispatches, and keep the rest under lock and key? ‘Why, if Mr. McKinley was thus warn- ed of trouble, did he not take measures to prevent it? Why did he go out west, lay his hand on his heart, and declare that he “never dreamed” the insur- gents would attack us? The truth is that the president, in his eagerness to make a point against the Filipinos, has forgotten the role he had before tried to play. This was that of a bighearted, unsuspecting father of his people, bent only on blessing the islanders. The idea never entered his head that any- body could attack so good a man as he. So he was correspondingly thunder- struck when the ungrateful dastards assaulted their benefactor. But now he drops this simple minded, grandfather- ly mask and tells us he was from the first warned of Filipino machinations. “I knew from the beginning that they were treacherous,” he protests, not seeing that, in the act, he makes him- self out a negligent and napping com- mander-in-chief. But the whole thing is a pure presi- dential afterthought. See how plain a tale shall put down this belated in- vention. Gen. Merritt's problem was to deal with the insurgents, was it? They were spoiling for a fight even in July, were they? Well, what did Mer- ritt himself say to the Paris commis- sioners in October? He was specifical- ly asked if the Filipinos were disposed to make trouble, and roundly replied, “I think there is no danger of conflict.” And Senator Frye has publicly de- clared on this very subject, “Nobody dreamed of any trouble when we were in Paris. Gen. Whittier and Gen. Merritt were before our committee and testified that the most cordial feeling existed between the Tagalos and the United States troops.” This leaves the author of the letter of acceptance look- ing very like a detected manipulator of the evidence. Mr. McKinley, however, has another argument in reserve just as good. ‘What put and end to the “cordial feel- ing?” Certainly it was not the peace treaty, the presidents asserts. Those who maintain that it was have “for- gotten,” he declares triumphantly, that “before the treaty was ratified # * * the insurgents attacked the American army.” Yes, but possibly other things have also been forgotten. The president may have forgotten that he, before the treaty was ratified (six weeks before), issued a proclama- tion to the Filipinos asserting that the cession of the islands was complete, and that our military government would be extended to “the whole” of Philippine territory. He may have for- gotten that this proclamation was a gross violation of the constitution, void both in morals and in law. He may have forgotten that, irrespective of the legal aspect of the proclamation, it was drawn in such an excess of wan- tonly tyrannical language, that Gen. Otis was alarmed, and tried to sup- press it, fearing that its publication would drive the Filipinos to instant in- surrection. It was published by acci- dent, and the insurrection followed. All these facts Mr. McKinley may have forgotten, but the future historian will not forget them; neither will he for- get to characterize the conduct of a ruler who tried to shuffle away from the consequences of his own inconsid- erate action. —— a ‘- The “Full Dinner Pail” Argument. There is an old and familiar adage to the effect that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Mr. Senator Hanna in his recent speech at Youngstown, O., in which he told his hearers that all of the issues of the campaign boiled down are contained in the catch phrase, “a full dinner pail,” seeks to extend this saying and would have us believe that the way to a man’s mind is though his stomach. It is the most pitiful trickery to attempt to con- vince the voter that so long as he has enough to eat he should not worry himself about anything else. The proposition Senator Hanna makes to the voters of this country is that they trample under foot all other considerations because he tells them that the present administration has given this country prosperous times. The crops which the Almighty has watered into full fruition and the la- borious industry of the farmer and the workingman have of course had noth- ing to do with a better condition of things, although the benefits which the workingman at present enjoys ex- ist chiefly in the imaginations of the ingenious gentlemen who would per- petuate Mr. McKinley’s maladministra- tion. Mr. Hanna asks the voter to believe that if under the McKinley administra- tion he has in the sweat of his brow secured food enough for himself and his family it is not for him to bother his brains about any enormity to which the Republican party may see fit to commit the country. He argues that it is not for the people to insist that her historical governmental policies be observed, and that is not for them to criticize any actions of the party in power which they may think is drift- ing the republic away from her ancient moorings. Unless the temper of the American people is changing very sad- ly they will not submit to any such bullying, and will assert in no unmis- takable terms their inalienable right to judge for themselves. It used to be this kind of argument which the Republican party was most vehemently opposed to when some of the apologists for the institution of slavery would point to the many slaves who had plenty to eat and were well taken care of. It was very properly pointed out that their physical well be- ing did not alter the fact that they were held in cruel bondage, which de- nied them the priceless boon of liber- ty to own their own bodies, to work for whom they pleased and to come and go as they wished. But now Mr. Han- na adopts the pro-slavery argument and seeks to thrust it upon millions of men, white and black, all through this broad land, and says to them in effect: “Why should you worry about the way this government deals with the public questions of the day when you have enough to eat and enough to wear?” Soldiers Opposed to McKinley. The other day a train load of wound- ed and invalided soldiers, fresh from the Philippines, passed through this state on their way to the hospital at ‘Washington. Some of them had been wounded in battle and others had been afflicted with tropical diseases, but they were alike wretched and suffering. At Harrisburg, the state capital, they stopped for a time in order to change | from one road to another, and during the wait they walked about, such as could, in the neighborhood of the sta- tion. During the period they talked freely, according to the local papers, and what they said was interesting. Of thirty men interviewed by the re- porters of the Harrisburg Star-Inde- pendent not one had a friendly word for McKinley. Out of the whole train load of brave men not one will vote for the re-election of the president, whom they unanimously accuse of responsi- bility for all their troubles. Ninety out of every hundred of the men who come from that far distant and diseaseinfect- ed region are incurably inoculated with the fevers, and that proportion of the brave men, sixty thousand of them, who responded to the call to defend the honor of the flag will go through wretched lives to premature deaths be- cause of their mistaken notion of pa- triotism. . Is it any wonder that these suffering soldiers are opposed to McKinley? Wouldn’t any man who knows that he has been beguiled by false pretense into sacrificing his health permanently, entertain the same opinion of the man responsible for their suffering? If the president had been just to the people and faithful to the constitution there never would ‘have been ten thousand soldiers sent to that disease breeding place, and they would not have been held there long enough to become in- oculated. But McKinley's inordinate ambition to achieve results that no other president had attempted betray- ed him into this sacrifice of men, and they who suffered are indignant. Two-thirds of the letter of acceptance | of President McKinley was devoted to a futile attempt to justify the position of the present national administration in regard to the Philippines. In view of the fact that the Republicans pre- tend that imperialism is not an issue of this campaign the attention given to the question by Mr. McKinley is rather significant. Mark Hanna has his hands full just now with the chairmanship of the Re- publican national committee and the ‘orrespondence school he has opened for the purpose of teaching the stren- uous “Teddy” the difference between mud throwing and argument. The Republican party’s interest in the flag seems to be confined to an at- tempt to confiscate it as a political trade mark, and even then they have ranked it as subsidiary to “the full dinner pail.” Teddy’s Curious Notion. He Thinks We Have a Right to Slaughter the Fili- pinos. From the Pittsburg Post. fiovernor Roosevelt seeks to justify the slaughter of the Filipinos in his western speeches on the ground they are bandits, and merit no consideration or humanity. He also justifies our imperialistic way of treating them on the ground our constitution was not intended for roaming savages. Then why seek to conquer them? Not to mention other witnesses, Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis give testimony which establishes the fact that the Fil- ipinos are not roaming savages, but civilized people, living in fixed habiti- tions and pursuing settled industries when not interrupted by “superior” people seeking their subjugation. Con- cerning the testimony of Gen. Otis in his reports to the war department Sen- ator Hoar says it establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the Filipinos “were fit for independence” when they were our allies against Spain. “They had churches, libraries, works of art and education. They were bet- ter educated than many American com- munities within the memory of some of us. They were eager and ambitious to learn. They were governing their entire island (Luzon) except Manila, in order and quiet, with municipal gov- ernments, courts of justice, schools and a complete constitution resting on the consent of the people.” Senator Hoar finds all this establish- ed by. the testimony of Gen. Otis in his official dispatches. As to the unanimi- ty of the Filipinos in their battles for liberty and independence, in one of his reports Gen. Otis said: “Even the wo- men of Cavite province, in a document numerously signed by them, gave me to understand that after all the men are killed off they are prepared to shed their patriotic blood for the liberty and independence of their country.” Yet Roosevelt compares these heoric men and women to the Sioux and Apaches. The Destiny of the Country. “No president can tell us what our destiny is,” said Mr. Bryan in a speech’ made before the Nebraska Bryan club, of Chicago, Sept. 10, and in these words the Democratic candidate for president gives a stinging rebuke to the amateur fatalists of the Republi- can party who have been justifying Mr. McKinley's acts of criminal ag- gression in the Philippines and else- where with the cry of “manifest des- tiny.” Mr. Bryan thinks this is too strong and vigorous a nation to adopt the flimsy philosophy which England and the other land grabbing nations of the world have offered as a sop to the public conscience when some par- ticularly daring feat of political high- way robbery has been perpetrated. The drunkard, too weak to exercise sufficient will power to break loose from a habit which he knows is grad- ually bringing him in ruin to the grave, very frequently offers the same excuse and with as much reason. He will say that he has drifted into his deplorable condition because of peculiar and unto- ward circumstances. He has been pushed by the hand of “destiny” and it has been impossible for him to resist. But the people of this country will very naturally object to being classed with the victims of alcoholism and the apology that might be excusable in the man of intemperate habits can- not be offered with hope of acceptance on a question of national honesty. It isn’t sufficient for Mr. McKinley to tell us that his course in the Philippines is along the lines of our “manifest des- tiny.” The country at large, irrespec- tive of party, has not such blind con- fidence in the opinions of the president on political questions to accept them without a grain of salt. The voters of the republic have in years past be- lieved in the policy of the people ham- mering out their own destiny and not allowing it to become a matter of chance or of one man’s opinion. The President's False Pretense. His professions of morality have not been able to restrain President McKin- ley from indulging in at least two pal- pably dishonest assertions in his letter of acceptance. For example, in the first quarter of that elongated and apologetic paper, he declares that “five years age we were selling government bonds bearing as high as 5 per cent interest.” Manifestly he intended to eonvey to the public that within five years the government borrowed money at the rate of 5 per cent, whereas if he knows anything he knows that is not true. bed : Five years ago the government had no authority to issue any bonds other than 5 per cent bonds, and could bor- TOW money in no other way, though Secretary Carlisle and President Cleve- land had insistently asked congress to authorize the issue of a lower rate security. The reasonable and wise re- quest was denied, however, and when the necessity to borrow money arose the 5 per cent bonds were issued, but sold at such premium as to reduce the interest rate to a fraction below 3 per tent, President McKinley was certain- letter he uttered an implied falsehood. In another part of the letter he al- leges that since the beginning of his administration $44,000,000 of Pacific railway bonds were redeemed. The purpose of that statement was clearly to make the public believe that that amount of money had been collected from the people and used for the re- demption of the bonds. The truth fs, and the president knew it well, that the railroads were sold by the government on mortgage foreclosures and the pro- ceeds of the sale redeemed the bonds. There are two plain cases of false pre- tense in the letter. i & Boa, ly aware of that fact, and yet in his |’ The Election in Maine. If the Hon. Mark Hanna can draw any comfort from the returns of the Maire election he is welcome to the enjoyment of it. An unusually active and earnest canvass had been made in the hope of securing such a majority as would impress the country with the belief that the people have implicit confidence in the McKinley administra- tion. The most distinguished orators of the country were brought in and the strongest defense of the president's course that it was possible to invent and present was made. But the result is not reassuring to the Republican managers. On the contrary, it is most discouraging, for it not only shows a dangerous decrease of the Republican vote, but a threatening increase of the Democratic vote. Mr. McKinley is so firmly wedded to the idea of benevolent assimilation that he is long past the point where the leaden bullet and the point of the bay- onet seem inappropriate facters in the scheme. ’ Niagara Falls Excursions.
