Bryan, presidential candidate on tbe
Democratic uuliuuul ticket, hns present
4 bin letter accepting the nomination.
Mr. ltrynn leads his text with his viewi
m the triiHt question, lie touches on
taterstHts commerce and reviews the cur
WDcy Unue, the labor situation and de
votes considerable space to expansion
and Imperialism.
In regard to trusts he snyn:
"The Kansas City platform very prop
ly (jives prominence to the trust fjues
tfnn. The appalling growth of combina
tions in restraint of trade duriiiK the
Brescnt administration proves conclusive
ly that tbe Republican party lacks ci
ther the desire nr the ability to deul with
the question effectively. If ns tuny lie
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Keptiblican leaders that
party dots not intend to take the peo
ple's side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condemna
tion of trusts to be found in the liepuli
Ucsn platform is designed to distract
attention while Industrial despotism is
completing its work. A private monopo
ly has always been an outlaw. No de
fense can be made of an industrial sys
tem in which one or a few men can con
trol for their own profit the output or
price of nuy article of irterchnndiHe.
"Under such a system the consumer
ufftrs extortion, the producer of raw
material has but one purchaser and must
II at the arbitrary price fixed, the lu- .
borer has but one employer ami is pow- :
erlesu to protest against injustice either
in wages or in conditions of labor, the
mall stockholder is at tbe mercy of the
pacnlator, while the traveling salesman
contributes his salary to the overgrown
profits of the trust. Since but a small
proportion of the people can share In
the advantages secured by private mo
nopoly it follows that the remainder of
the poople are not only excluded from
fh benefits, but are the helpless victims
of every monopoly organized. It is dlf- I
flcult to overestimate the immediate In- .
justice that may be done or to calculate
tbe ultimate effect of this injustice upon
tbe social and political welfare of the ,
people.
"Our platform, after suggesting cer
tain specific remedies, pledges the party
to an unceasing warfare against private
monopoly in nation, state and city. I
heartily approve of this promise. If
sleeted, it shall be my earnest and con-
stsnt endeavor to fulfill the promise in
tetter and spirit, I shall select an at
torney general who will without fear or
favor enforce existing laws, I shall
(commend such additional legislation as
may be necessary to dissolve every pri
vate monopoly which doe business out- ,
aide of the state of its origin, nud if, con- :
trary to my belief and hope, a constitu
tional amendment is found to be neces- ;
sarjr I shall recommend such an amend- i
mtnt as will without impairing any of
the existing rights of the states empower '
congress to protect the people of nil the
states from injury at the hands of in
dividuals or corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce.
"The Democratic party makes no war
upon honestly acquired wealth. Neither
does it seek to embarrass corporations
HDgaged in legitimate business, but it
does protest against corporations enter
ing politics and attempting to assume
control of the instrumentalities of gov
ernment. A corporation is not organized
for political purposes and should be com
pellod to confine itself to the business
described in its charter. Honest cor
porations engaged in an honest business
will find it to their advantage to aid in
the enactment of such legislation as will
protect them from the undeserved odium
which will be brought upon them by
those corporations which enter the po
litical ureua."
The currency question:
"The platform reiterates the demand
contained In the Chicago platform for
an American financial system made by
the American people for themselves. The
purpose of such a system is to restore and
maintain a bimetallic level of prices,
and in order that there mny be no un
certainty us to the method of restoring
bimetallism the specific declaration in
favor of free and unlimited coinage nt
Iho existing ratio of 10 to 1 independent
of the uction of other nations is repeated.
In ISiitI the Republican party recognized
the necessity for bimetallism by pledging
the party to on curliest effort to secure
an international agreement for the free
coinage of silver, and the president im
mediately after his Inauguration by au
thority of congress appointed a commis
sion composed of distinguished citizens
h visit Kurope and solicit foreign aid.
Secretary Huy in a letter written to Lord
Aidriihiini in November, IWiS, anil after
ward published in Kugland declared that
.it that time the presideut and a majority
if bis cabinet still believed in the great
Jesirabllity of an international agree
ment for the restoration of the double
standard, but that it did not seem op
portune to reopen the negotiations just
then. The financial luw euueted less
than a year ugo contains n concluding
tection declaring that the measure was
uot intended to stand in the way of the
restoration of bimetallism whenever it
could be done by co-operution with other
nations. The platform submitted to the
Jist Republican convention with the in
dorsement of the administration again
suggested the possibility of securing for
ign aid in restoring silver.
"Now the Hepubllcun pnrty for the
Srst time openly abandons its ndvocucy
if the double standard and Indorses the
monetary system which it hns so often
md so emphatically condemned. The
Democratic party, on the contrary, re
uulns the steadfast advocate of the gold
ind silver coinage of tbe constitution and
;s not willing that other nations shall
determine for us the time and mnnnei
if restoring silver to its ancient place as
standard money. The ratio of lit to 1
iii not only the ratio now existing be
tween all the gold nud silver dollars In
circulation in this country, a ratio which
oven the Republican administration has
uot attempted to change, but it Is the on
ly rutio advocated by those who are seek
ng to reopen the mints."
Illection of senators:

ly In the selection of tholr represent!!
lives in the Semite. A senator is no lesi
the representative of the state bccnitM
he receives his commission from the peo
ple themselves rather than from the mem
bers of the state legislature."
Relative to labor:
"Several planks of the labor platform
are devoted to questions in which tht
laboring classes lis re an Immediate in
terest, but which more remotely affecl
our entire population. While what Is
generally known as government by in i
junction is nt present directed chlelly
against the employees of corporations j
when there is a disagreement between
them and their employer it involves a i
, . i . . . . . . fei.- i
principle wnicn concerns every one. i in:
purpose of the injunction In such cases It
to substitute triul by judge for trial by
jury and Is a covert blow at the jury sys
tem. The abolition of government by in
junction is as necessary for the protec
tion of the reputation of the court as it
is for the security of the citizen.
"I cannot too strongly emphasize the
Importance of the platform recommen
dation of the establishment of a depart
ment of labor, with a member of the cnb
inet ut its bund. When we remember how
Important n position the laborer fills In
our economic, social and political fabric,
it is hard to conceive of a valid objection
being made to this recognition of his
services.
"Tlie Chinese exclusion act has proved
an advantage to the country, and its con
tinuance and strict enforcement as well
as its extension to other similar races
are imperatively necessary,
"The I lemocrutlc party is in favor of
the immediate construction, ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure of the Re
publican party to make any progress in
carrying out a pledge contained in its
platform four years ago, together with
the substitution in its latest platform of
a plunk favoring an Isthmian canal for a
specific declaration in favor of the Nica
ruguan canal, would indicate that tbe
Republican leaders either do not appre
ciate the importance of this great water
way to the maritime strength and com
mercial interests of the country or that
they give too much consideration to the
interested opposition of transcontinental
lines.
"Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
have long been ready to assuuio the re
sponsibilities and enjoy the privileges of
statehood, and it will be a pleasure as
well as a duty to carry out the platform
pledge concerning them. There will be a
popular acquiescence in the demand for
home rule and a territorial form of gov
ernment In Alaska and l'orto Rico. Both
are entitled to local self government and
representation In congress.
"The recognition contained in both the
Democratic and Republican platforms of
the right of the Cuban to independence
removes the general principle involved
from the domain of partisan politics. It
is proper, however, to consider whether
the accomplishment of this purpose can
be safely intrusted to the Republican
party after it has yielded to the ullure
ments of the colonial idea and' abandoned
its earlier faith in the natural and in
alienable rights of man.
"By inadvertence the income tax plank
agreed upon by the resolutions commit
tee was omitted from the platform as
read and adopted. The subject, however,
is covered by the reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform, and I take this occa
sion to reassert my belief In the principle
which underlies the income tux.
"The reasons given by Washington,
Jefferson and the other statesmen of the
early duys in support of the doctrine that
we should maintain friendly relations
with all nations, but enter into entan
gling alliances with none, are even
stronger today than they were 100 years
ago. Our commerce Is rapidly Increasing
and we are brought into constant com
munication with all parts of the world.
Even if we desired to do so we could not
afford to alienate many nations by culti
vating unnecessary intimacy with a
few."
Speaking of expansion, he says:
"The position taken by the Republican
leaders and more recently set forth by
the Republican candidate for the presi
dency viz, that we cannot protect a na
tion from outside interference without
exercising sovereignty over its people Is
an assault upon the Monroe doctrine, for
while this argument Is nt this time di
rected against the proposition to give to
the Filipinos both independence and pro
tection it is equally applicable to the re
publics of Central and South America.
If this government cannot lend its
strength to another' republic without
milking subjects of Its people, then we
must either wlthdrnw our protection
from the republics to the south of us or
absorb them. Tinder tbe same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an au
thority equal to Its responsibility, Euro
pean nations have for centuries exploited
their wards, and it is a significant fact
that the Republican party nhould accept
tbe European idea of a protectorate at
! the same time that It adopts a Euro
' pean colonial policy."
I 1 is reference to imperialism:
I "The subjects, however, treated in thi.
I letter, important as euch may seem in
! itself, do not press so imperatively for
! solution as the question which tbe pbit-
form declares to be the paramount issue
' in this cutupaign. Whether we shall nd-
here to or abandon those ideas of gov
ernment which have distinguished this
; nation und given to its history its pecul
i inr charm and value is a question the set-
tlement of which cannot be delayed. No
I other question can approach it in iin
I portHiicc; no other question demands
such iiiimeuiuie cwiiHiucruuuii, i is
easier to lose a reputation than to estab
lish one, and this nation would find it u
long and laborious tusk to regain its
proud position among the nations if un
der the stress of temptation it should re
pudiate the self evident truths proelaim-
i ed by our heroic ancestors and sacredly
treasured during a career unparalleled in
the annuls of time. When the doctrine
; that the people are the only source ot
power is made secure from further at-
1 tack, we can safely proceed to the settle

' iuvolve the domestic and economic wel-

THE SOLDIER ON THE WORK
WOMAN'S BACK.
A vast standing army Is one of tha
concomitant, evils of the ttn-Amorlcan
principle of Imperialism which the Re
publican campaign managers would
have the people believe la exalted pa
triotism. The Republicans have recog
nized the fact that they would be called
upon to defend themselves against the
charge of attempting to transplant to
American soil the Institution which Is
the curse of civilized Europe and has
driven thousands of her Inhabitants to
these shores. General Manderson
made some comparisons of army fig
ures of European countries with the
army figures of this country In a re
cent speech at West Point. Rut his
representations were not quite so frank
as they should have been, and the
tlmore Sun, In a recent editorial utter
ance, calls attention to some things
which General Manderson overlooked.
The Sun snys:
It wan Carl Scbtirz, we believe, who,
deprecating the twin evils of Imperial
Ism and militarism, said that he hoped
never to see the day when In this coun
try, as in Europe, every wage earner
would be compelled to carry a soldier
on his back. How stendlly we are ap
proaching the realization of that state
of things which Mr. Schurz dreaded ns
one of the eventualities likely to result
from Mr. McKlnley's policy of "crimi
nal aggression" some figures recently
published, taken from official sources,
tend to show. Attention hns been call
ed to the subject by the address deliv
ered by General Manderson as a grad
uation day orator at the military acad
emy at West Point, and which, It Is
stated, Is now being circulated by the
Republican literary bureau as a cam
paign document to show that tho mili
tary burden borne by the American
people is trifling compared with that
borne by the down trodden and op
pressed subjects of the "effete mon
archies" of Europe.
For this purpose General Manderson
had prepared and appended to his ad
dress tables Bhowlng the number of
men In the army of each country, and
Its proportion to population; the area
of each country and the ratio of sol
diers to the square mile, or of square
miles to the soldier. We all know that
compared with most countries of Eu
rope our country Is of vast extent,
and that our army, as compared with
the standing armies of Russia. Ger
many and France, is small. But when
we come to the question of comparative
cost, General Manderson's figures will
be found to be very misleading and
suggestive of a want of candor which
Is, to say the least, disappointing on
the part of a man who Is an ex-senator
of the United States and president of
the American Rar association. A topic
is given by him showing the popula
tion, the war budget and the cost per
capita of the military establishment of
the principal countries, In which tho
United States Is credited with an an
nual expenditure of $51,093,927, a pop
ulation of 75,000,000 and a ratio per
capita of 68 cents as compared with
France's per capita of $3.20, based upon
a budget of $123,517,681 and a popula
tion of 38,517,905; Germany's per cap
ita of $2,70, based upon a budget of
$141,175,350 and a poulatlon of 62,270,
900, and Great Britain's per capita of
$2.32, based upon a budget of $88,152,
750 and a population of 37,888,439. Suf
fice It to say that, according to General
Manderson's figures, the United States
shows the smallest budget of any coun
try except Italy and Turkey, and the
least rate of expenditure per capita
of any country except Turkey. So
much for General Manderson's figures.
Unfortunately for the fairness of the
comparison which he Institutes and the
correctness of his conclusions, a critic
points out that upon the face of his
tables It appears that his figures as to
other countries are taken for the years
1S97 and 1898, those for the United
States for the year 1S9C, under a
Democratic administration and be
fore the advent of McKlnleyism and
Imperialism. Moreover, in 1896 the ac
tual cost of the army was $23,252,608,
the rest of General Manderson's esti
mate of $57,093,927 representing river
and harbor and other non-mllltary ex
penditures. If he had really wished,
as he professed, to bring figures "down
to the very latest date possible," Gen
eral Manderson would have given the
actual army appropriation for 1901,
which is $114,220,095.55, which is near
ly frve times as great as It was under
Democratic administration and before
McKlnley embarked upon his career of
blood and conquest. If we ndd to this
appropriation other Items which are
usually Included in European war bud
gets, but excluded from General Man
derson's computation the military
academy, $653,589.67; fortifications,
$7,383,628, and pensions, $145,245,250
we shall have a grand total of $267,
502,543.22 of current expenditures. ThlB
Is an amount, as a contemporary puts
It, "nearly double the burden carried
by Russia or Germany, more than dou
ble that ot France, three times that of
Austria or Great Britain, Blx times
that under which Italy Is staggering
and thirteen times the load that is
breaking the back ot Turkey. It puts
the United Sates far In tbe lead of all
the military powers ot the world In the
i cost ot Us military service."
Nor Is this burden likely to diminish.
In the three years since Mr. McKlnley
has been president we have become In
volved In three foreign wars, the coat
of two of which the Spanish war and
the subsequent war waged against
Spain's former subjects, the Filipinos
mounting up Into the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. Now we seem to be
drifting to a third war In China. It is
not regarded as "a state of war" in
Washington, but it involves fighting,
bloodshed ami tho loss of brave men's
lives tm UUmuI aDd foreign soil and
weeping and sorrow In American
homes. War cannot be declared ex
cept by congress, so Mr. MeKlnley may
continue to call what Is occurring In
China by any name he pleases, so that
the necessity for cnlllng congress to
gether In extra session can be avoided.
We have been killing Filipinos for the
last eighteen months at the rate of a
hundred or so a week and at the cost
of twenty-two hundred of American
lives lost In battle or from disease, and
as many more Invalided or rendered
Insane. Mr. McKlnley calls that nt
war, but "benevolent assimilation."
If we turn from the account of what
"militarism" la costing ns, without
war, In blood and tears to the account
In dollars and cents, perhaps It would
be as well to ndd to the cost of our
army that of our navy, upon which we
are spending more than any other
country In the world except England.
Trior to the Spanish war It was un
usual for congress at any session to
authorize the building of more than
three or four ships, and the total
amount In any one year expended on
construction never exceeded $15,000,000.
At present we have no naval war on
hand or In prospect. The Filipinos,
whom we are not at war with only
"assimilating" and Christianizing
hive neither ports nor gunboats. The
Chinese hnve no navy to speak of
none for which the fleet of the powers
already assembled In the Chinese sens
Is not vastly more than a match. Ac
cording to a table recently prepared by
Admiral Hlchborn the number of ves
sels now bunding and authorized to be
built for our navy, Including battle
ships and submarine boats, Is seventy.
The cost of these will aggregate over
half a hundred million of dollars
nearly four times as much as our gov
ernment ever spent for tho same pur
pose In any year before Mr. McKlnley
became president. Apparently, at the
present rate of progress, tho American
worltlngman will soon be called upon
to carry not only a soldier but a sailor
upon his back and out of his earnings
spnd enough to feed, clothe and sup
port the two while they are living and
pension their families when they are
dead.
EXPANSION NOT IMPERIALISM.
The apologists for the administra
tion's Imperialistic policy nre In the
habit of quoting Thomas Jefferson
freely. He was an expansionist, they
say, nnd In adding Torto Rico and the
Philippine Islands to our domain Pres
ident McKlnley hns only followed the
example set by the great father of
democracy when he made the Louisi
ana purchase and added the vast area
which has developed Into so many and
such great states. What an Insult to
the memory of Thomas Jefferson Is
such a use of his name! It Is the duty
ot every Democrat In the land to resent
It.
Jefferson added to our domain con
tiguous territory and homogeneous
populations. Ho discerned far In ad
vance the growth of this country and
adopted tho safe and certain methods
of accommodating the increased pop
ulation. But he never favored the an
nexation of terltory widely separated
from our own land and Inhabited by
other races than such as might prop
erly and safely bo assimilated with our
own. He never favored a policy, more
over, which would require the mainte
nance of a large standing army or an
extensive navy to protect It from ene
mies abroad or foes at home.
There Is a vast difference between
expansion and imperialism. Jefferson
favored one and abhorred the other, just
as that matchless follower of Jefferson,
William Jennings Bryan, does at pres
ent. Imperialism is not enlarging the
boundaries of the country. There
might be an empire built on territory
half the size of Pennsylvania. Govern
ing outside the constitution is impe
rialism, and governing subjects in
stead of citizens Is the most odious
form of Imperialism. That Is what
the administration Is attempting to do,
and citing Jefferson to support such a
policy Is a crime against the memory
if h father of democracy.
WELLINGT0NF0R BRYAN.
United States Senator George L. Wel
lington, elected as a Republican by the
Maryland legislature, has declared for
Bryan. Speaking from the same plat
form with the Democratic presidential
candidate at Cumberland recently Sen
ator Wellington Bald:
"I am here tonight to declare my un
alterable antagonism to the policy of
Imperialism and my opposition to the
representative of that vicious principle.
It Is an occasion of more than ordin
ary Importance for any man to an
tagonize the political party which he
has served for a quarter of a century,
to which he has given the best years
ot his life, and for which he has
achieved some success. It brings much
bitterness and vituperation. The vials
of wrath have already been opened
upon me, and there will be much that
Is unpleasant in the work I have to do.
I have, however, determined to do that
which I believe to be for the best inter
est o( my country, and In the perform
ance of my duty I find it necessary not
only to oppose the re-election of Presl
dent McKlnley, but to emphasize that
position by supporting his antagonist.

AN OUTRAGE ON DEMOCRACY
The nr-rfldy of the nllesed Democrats
of the Korty-thlrd senatorial district.
who lust week tinminnted Senator C.
L. Mageo for state senator and en
dorsed Mm by resolution for election
to the United States senate, were fitly
rebuked subsequently In turn by the
Democratic county convontion of Alle
gheny county and the Democratic coun
ty committee. The county convention,
by a practically unanimous vote, repu
diated th action of the so-called sen
atorial convention, and the county
committee expelled from the body all
members who participated in the
treacherous performance by the sena
torial convention. Colonel Guffey.
member of the national committee, and
Chairman Rilling, of the state commit
tee, also promptly repudiated the ac
tion.
It has become a custom among cer
tain leading andi wealthy Republicans
to maintain a contingent of mercena
ries who are influenced by bribery to
debauch the Democratic party in their
interest. This was an invention of Col
onel Quay In his halcyon days, and he
usually compensated the traitors by
throwing crumbs from his official table
to them. Some years ago Msgee aoopt-
ed the practice, and while In Philadel
phia and other places throughout the
state there are what are known as
"Quay Democrats," the traitors In
Pittsburg answer to the name of "Ma
gee Democrats." There can be no such
Democrats, and the name of either is a
badge of political perfidy.
The true Democrats of Allegheny
county are no more favorable to Magee
than they are to Quay. The practices
of both these politicians are obnox
ious to every Impulse of Democracy.
and the difference between them la
simply one of personality. They were
partners In plundering the people un
til they quarreled over the division of
the spoils, and since that they have
been pursuing the same purposes sep
arately. There Is nothing In common
between them and true Democracy, and
the nomination of Magee as a Demo
cratic candidate by a convention palpa
bly packed in his Interest was an out
rage which ought to be resented by
every Democrat in the state.
