THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
i M'KIHLEY'S LETTER
Tb rrll-nt Inrrnta n Krr I'hraiiv,
Dot Hl l.rMrr Una No
Other Merit.
From the New York Journal.
President McKlnley's letter of ac
ceptance resembles a folding bed with
a piano front. When you look at It
first you think It Is a financial argu
ment, but when you let It down you
flnd thut It It au apology for Imperial
Ism. The Republican party has maintain
ed that the silver question Is the su
preme Issue of tho campaign. The
president has kept up that profession.
Therefore, he begins his letter with a
disquisition on finance. Hut no rc
all7.es thnt It would be ruinous to sit
In a corner sollqulzlng about one topic
vhilo the people were thinking nnd
talking about another, and, therefore,
after gliding lightly among a number
of other Issues, he settles down upon
the subject of Imperialism, nnd dilates
upon It to the extent of 10,000 words.
Mr. McKlnley Is entitled to the credit
of Inventing a new phrase. Ho does
not venture to sny that tho silver ques
tion Is the chief issue before the peo
ple, but he remarks: "If another Is
sue Is paramount, this Is Immediate."
He does not show, however, why It Is
Immediate. He does not show that a
Democratic congress would pass a free
cnlnnpe law or that a Democratic ad
ministration could disturb the present
financial system. It is true that he
furnishes one more contribution to the
exposure of tho hypocrisy of Republi
can financial legislation when he says
thut it was so framed as to bo effective
only "so long as those who adhere to
this plutform are kept in control of
the government." Dut his own secre
tary of the treasury, In his sincere, mo
ments, could have told him that any
apprehension of finuncial danger from
Democratic success was purely fanci
ful. From the rittsburK Pont.
President McKlnley, In his letter
of acceptance, Insists there was no al
liance with Agulnnldo by any of the
American army or naval officers, but
he does not tell how Dewey brought
Agulnaldo to the Philippine Islands In
an American war essel, and armed
him nnd his followers, and co-operated
with them. Nor docs he mention the
fact that In June, 1898, Agulnaldo pro
claimed the Philippine republic and
raised its flag, and McKlnley never
protested until the following Decem
ber. Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
has shown that the treaty with Spain
would have failed of ratification had
not a promise to guarantee tho ulti
mate Independence of the Philippines
been made, only to be broken as soon
as the treaty was ratified. McKlnley
says the Flipluos began the conflict,
but falls to quote Gen. Otis, showing
how the fighting was begun by the
Americans, and how he rejected Agul
naldo's plea for a suspension of hos
tilities and insisted upon war to Its
end. He claims the largest portion
of the Filipinos "are loyal to us," but
he neglects the fact that nowhero out
of the sight of the American Hues In
the Philippines can an American go In
safety. The McKlnley letter is un
doubtedly smart, but how this world
Is given to smart lying.
From thJ Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
We can find hi this letter of accept
ance no word indicating any change In
ine policy of Mr. McKTnley a ndmlnis
tratlon to hold the Philippines, and hold
them forever, as a subject colony of the
United States. The president makes
free use of the words "liberty" and
"elf government" as the end of his
purposes respecting those Islands, but
these words are plnlnly not used in
their full and accepted meaning. It Is
"self government" under absolute
American sovereignty which he plain
iy means. It Is "liberty" within lines
drawn by an absolute alien power
which he clearly has In mind. And
this Is the "liberty" of the vassal and
the slave nothing more.
From the Unrrlaburg Star-Independent
Every man is right in claiming full
credit for what he has accomplished
nd no one will complain because the
President 1b generous In praise of him
self. But a bountiful providence had
something to do with the prosperity
which has prevailed during the last
three years and other Influences, not
'thln the control of the administra
tion, worked auspicious results. In view
those facts the president's pretense
that the administration Is responsible
or all is foolish, if not false.
Frotn'the Philadelphia Record.
Ue pl'OBDerltv of th rnnntrv. the
treasury surplus, the favorable balance
of trade and all the favoring benefac
tions of a kind and gracious providence
ar In turn woven Into the president's
narrative. The bad trusts are repro
bated and the good trusts mentioned,
"he tariff la fitted with a halo of com
mendation, id even reciprocity is
toarshalled before the eyesight of the
aatlon as a thing of loveliness.
From the Baltimore Sun.
This may be Mr. McKlnley's idea of
'eilom, but It Is a monBt rous doctrine
r the president of a free republic to
Promulgate. Mr. McKlnley has . not
"reiiBthened his purty's position by
' lattev of acceptance. He cannot
convince the American peopje by such
rguMents as he arrays In this letter
nat the dangers of Imperialism as
practiced by thiB administration are
serious that they appear to be.

(Tat
clergyman, now ltishop Morris, ol
Oregon, built n little wooden church
In the place, alongside of a huge fit
tree that had been broken off about
40 feet above the ground.
It was first Intended to build the
church behind the tree and cut a door
way through the trunk, thus innkinf;
the tree the entrance as well as tlu
bell tower, but this plan was aban
doned. A belfry tipped witfi a cros
was built upon the top of the tree, o
bell placed therein, and swung. Tc
this day the Ivy-clad fir is the bell
tower of the church. A ladder run
from the roof of the church to the
belfry, and this is used as the np
proach to the bell whenever it be'
comes necessary to visit it.
The "building of this church, which
was named St. Peter's, was begun one
Tuesday morning in the early 'TO's,
and services were held in it the fol
lowing Sunday morning.
The ivy that clings about the tree
has crawled under the roof and Into
the church, nnd forms delicate green
traceries along the inner walls.
The bell tower tree is ninny hun
dreds of years old, nnd was n good
sized tree when Columbus sailed upon
the voyage that resulted in the dis
covery of a new world. Thus this
forest monarch now forms the oldest
bell tower in America.

He is a busy traveling man, who
spends more of his time on the road
than he does in the pretty little flat
In which he installed his young wife
a couple of years ugo. Rut he drops
into town at irregular and unseason
able hours nirul slips away at such odd
times and on such impossible trains
that the slavey of the little family is
kept in n perpetual state of nervous
prostration trying to remember the
"calls'1 he leaves with her. He is so
used to depending on hotel clerks when
out of town that he takes it quite as
a matter of course to tell the girl to

(Chlcugo Drummer's Way of Impressing

"Call me at seven" or "Let me sleep

After he had missed a couple of
trains through Martha's forge tf ulness
he tried the old expedient of writing
brief and mandatory notes, which he
pinned upon his chamber door, but
even this was not a glittering success
because the slavey frequently failed
to look for the notes. A week ago
while hunting for a suitable memoran
dum book in a stationer's shop his
eve lighted on one of those cardboard
ciock dials with movable hands which
lawyers hang upon their office doors
when going to lunch. The top was
marked "Rack at" and the hunds were
to be moved to the proper hour and

could be fixed.
"That's just what I want," he said,
and he bought one and took it to his
desk, where he labored 20 minutes
with pen and Ink. The next morning
when the girl glanced at the door of
her master's and mistress' chamber
she nearly fell in a fit. There was a
neat card labeled! "Call us at" and un

pointing to nine o'clock. The drum

SCMUHZ ANSWERS GAGE.
The I'.x-rnlil set Olllolnl Invokes the
Dentil)- I'nriitlel In an
KfTeell ve Wny.
Ctrl Schurz has witten, under date of
Sept. JO, a second open letter -to Sec
retary of tho Treasury Gage In rejoin
der to the lattcr's reply to Mr. Schurz's
first letter. In It Mr. Schurz remarks
that the Gngo letter "only shows to
what lengths partisan zeal will go in
the nttmnpt to frighten the people Into
tho belief that only Mr. McKlnley's re
election can save thetn from general
ruin."
To Mr. Gage's remark that the He
publican congress and administration
would "probably" find it dftrtcult, owing
to possible obstructive tactics of tho
minority, tfti use its power before the
Inauguration of Hryan to make It Im
possible for him to put the finances on
a silver basis, Mr. Schurz answers:
"There will be no trouble about this
If the Republican majority Is willing
to do It. The Republican major
ity In congress not only can, but, if
only for Its own moral salvation, will
do this thing In case of necessity, and
you, Mr. Secretary, then relieved of
your partisan campaign service, will, as
a good citizen, he one of the first to
urge It to be done, If you sincerely
think the currency law to be as defec
tive as in your recent threat of disas
ter you represent It to be." ,
Mr. Schurz also quotes Mr. Gage's
declaration In an Interview on July 15
as an answer to the apprehension ex
pressed by him six week's later. "I be
lieve," said Mr. Guge on July 15, "that
silver will never drop below par in
gold. The crux of the proposition Is
that adequate measures have been
taken by the new law to prevent such
a contingency. in the event
of Mr. Bryan's election I think the gold
standard would be resolutely main
tained so long as the law remained on
the statute book."
Mr. Schurz declares that the secre
tary of the treasury's letter of Aug. 25
"Is an attempt to terrorize the Amer
ican people with a threat of business
disaster, thnt they may be deterred
from considering any other question
and from casting a vote which would
amount to a condemnation of Mr. Mc
Klnley's Imperialistic policy. I, for
one, refuse to be terrorized. I
am convinced that the battle for sound
money Is substantially won, and that
whatever apparent danger to the gold
standard may still arise It must and
can be overcome without the people
subjecting themselves to a moral thral
dom keeping them from Independent
and conscientious action upon public
questions of equal ana even superior
Importance."
A 1'nlted Tlemnrrnejr,
More than ever before In the history
of the Democratic party all factions
have been merged under the peerless
leadership of William Jennings Bryan
for a vigorous and righteous campaign
against the un-American and vicious
policies of imperialism, militarism, pro
tection of the trusts and the other cry
ing evils which the Republican party
is pledged to maintain and extend.
Four years ago the party was divided
upon the issue of a financial policy,
and today the Democracy Is once more
firmly united and Is standing shoulder
to shoulder In the support of an Issue
of higher and more Immediate Import
ance, because It Involves the very foun
dation principles upon which this coun
try is established.
Everywhere throughout the country
come assurances that many prominent
men who left their party ranks in 1890
will this year march under Bryan's
banner for the maintenance of those
fundamental policies of government
which have fostered our growth Into
a nation, which can rightfully boast
of her prominent position among the
peoples of tho world. The Republican
party has criminally committed itself
to the policy of land grabbing, which
has ever been foreign to the principles
of a republic such as this, and it has
become the duty of the Democratic
party to protect the nation against the
foes within, ever the most insidious
and powerful.
The Republican party cannot with
any degree of truth assert that only
a portion of the Democratic party is
holding up the hands of its standard
bearer in this campaign. It la not one
section' of the country alone or one
section of the country more than an
other that if represented In the Demo
cratic party for this campaign. In
every state of. the Union, Including
even the recognized Republican states,
there Is a marked and ever increasing
abhorrence of the evils which go to
make up McKlnloyism, which will draw
thousands of Republican votes to tho
party which pledges itself to halt the
government of the United States and
drag it buck from the perilous course
on which the present administration
has launched It.
In view of the expose which even the
Republican newspapers have made of
the starvation wages paid the coal
miners of this state the campaign cry
of "full dinner pall" soems something
worse than a hollow mockery and a
sham.
With all their sneering at tni
phrase, "the consent of the governed.'
the Republican party managers will
find that It is as firmly embedded
in the Issues of this campaign as it la
