Republicans Should Roll Up a Big Vote to Sustain the President and Prevent a Disturbance of Prosperous business Con ditions. Considering the question of expan sion from a purely business point of view, Ralph Hutler, a well known busi ness man of Pittsburg, has addressed himself to.the voter;? of Pennsylvania in an interesting review ot tins absorb ing topic, which is being dii-oiissed in every state campaign throughout tlie country. Mr. Butler, who is seereLury and general • manager ot one of the largest insurance companies in tlio state, says that as a bitiiinei s man he has a decided imeVest in the success of the Republican party this fall. De feat, or doubtful victory, means'an uncertain contest next >/ar ;;r.il i',.-; consequent derangement of busluc.c;. He heartily advocates the election of the whole Republican ticket ami de clares that every business mail who wishes to sec ihe era of prosperity con tinued should e:.ert his influence to help swell the Republican vote this full. A BUSINESS "QI'KSTK'.s ONLY. "The question of holding the Phil ippines temporarily cr permanently is a business question only," says Mr. Butler, "interwoven to a certain ex tent with the moral question. 111 all the advances of the civilized races, so called, into the domain <>f the uncivil ized or inferifli races, the business question and self interest have been the motive powers. Columbus was not moved by philamhrophy In sailing westward over the unknown seas, but was attempting to find a shorter pas sage to the Indie::, for commercial pur poses. His commercial venture result ing in the discovery of America, where it caused the destruction practically of the native races, placed two great continents into the possession of, and at the disposal of that dominant civil izing force of the world, the Caucasian race. "Today the business question is the motive power behind England, tier many. Prance and Portugal in their invasions into the heart of the dark continent. The same business ques tion is back of Russian, German, En glish and French advances into Asia. These great nations are not fools, and we should consider carefully the busi ness side of this question before we decide to run counter to the commer cial policy of all the great nations of the Eastern Hemisphere. "It is not tlie proper way to discuss a business proposition to cry imperial ism and militarism, and attempt to ex cite the passions as a red rag excites a bull. Neither is it proper to ad vance theories, ancient moorings and moral questions. We must take the world as we find it. not as it was a hundred years a;;o, or as we would like to see it. The civilizing force of business is invading the valleys, the forests and the mountains of the in ferior races, and we could not stop it if we would, for it will move on like the fatal Juggernaut, crushing out all opposition and gathering to the poo pie who wield its forces the great and unknown wealth of these so-called heathen lands. We may shudder at the thought, but the work of subjugat ing these people will goon, even though we stand aside and see other nations place into the coffers of their people this great wealth. THE DUTY OK OUR GOVERNMENT. "One of the fundamental principles of our government is the greatest good to the greatest number, not to the world's people, but to our own peo ple. The physical welfare of our peo ple is one of the most pressing duties. Their moral advancement usually keeps pace with the physical, "Remunerative labor will best ad vance our people's physical and moral welfare. Our manufacturing capacity is unlimited, our present markets are limited, hence, at times we face labor troubles, communism possible an archy. We have ati acreage unequaled in its extent and productive capiyity, yet the demand for our soil products is often limited, bringing commercial depression, for much wealth grows on the earth's surface when It can llnd a market. "The greatest good to the greatest number of our people will be beSi served by securing by every possible means a market for the manufacturing and agricultural products of the coun try This will give employment to oui people, with an increase of remunera tion and wealth. But what has the Philippine ques tion to do with this? Perhaps much, perhaps nothing. If we conclude to hold the Philippines we will have taken a step toward adopting the com mercial policy of the greatest nations ot the earth. If we relinquish the Philippines on moral grounds and the fear of abandoning tome ancient moor ings. we will not benefit the Philip pines, for the Juggernaut of commer cial greed from other sources will sweep over the islands and we may miss our opportunity to advance the j commercial prosperity of our people j on the lines that have made England the richest nation on the earth. A POSITION OF VANTAGE. , "AYe stand toila;. in a p .suion of vantage never approached by any iilu . nation. We are more Isolated than England: we command from our own! ports both oceans, England but one; we have within our borders a great ; agricultural area, rich and fertile; ex tensive coal, irdn and precious metal j deposits, and the largest inanufactur- | ing plants extant. Who can Jiold a I candle to 11s in all these things? In ; manufacturing the markets of the; world are ours, if we will but force them. Within ten years China may and probably will be opei io the elvll fzation of the world's piost aßßressive force, business. Railroads, buildings, bridges, etc., must" be built. Willi a navy and a small army on tlio ea-iieru shores of China we will secure to our workmen this labor, to our capital and -•Manufacturing ventures, the profits. The Philippine islands may not be worth the candle; the adoption of a new and aggressive national policy may mean the commercial and manu facturing supremacy of the world and the consequent enrichment ot our own people. "Within a short period of time our army and our navy have astonished the world and served notice to all the great powers to keep their hands off our affair;;, a protection greater than the Monroe doctrine. If we but reason ably improve our war footing no na tion will seek a conflict with us. und we will JTO proud to suv that we are Americans, and we will be shown proper respect and be protected in every land throughout the world. THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. "We are a growing nation, the most progressive on tlie earth. We must expand to meet the requirements and demands of our increasing population Greater dangers menace our govern in i nt from an unemployed and re»itlos;: people than will ever come to this in telligent people from.l reasonable military power, and a continuance of ii r expr.iL-ion policy, a policy we have followed under all parties since the original 111 colonies bound themselves together i'<- j- the common good in an indissoluble bond of union. "Demagogues, theorists and vlsion uries have demanded that the presi dent withdraw the army and navy Iron: the Philippines and abandon these ig norant natives, these children tas WH might say) in the theory and practice of self government, to the mercies of AguinaUlo and Ills army of cut throats. "What right have our repudiated leaders to demand that thi = great 'jue;- tion shall not goto the people. To give up the Philippines, or make an agreement to give them up, is to deny the people 1 lie right to pass 011 this great and important business question. The common people have as much right to lie heard as the millionaires, the repudiated statesmen and the dem agogues in politics posing for popu larity. WHO SHOULD DECIDE? "This question should be considered by the people. The national adminis tration has a plain duty before it. The fortunes of >-ar have placed the Phil ippines in our possession. The ad ministration should hold them at all hazards, until ihe people have care fully considered and spoken 011 the great question, whether !>.* continuing our expansion p< 'lcy we ire to heroine the ereatost nation 011 the earth, com mercially, or whether in a cowardly spl"it we are to build around us a Chinese wall, called the Monroe doc trine. and assume the responsibility of denying to our laborers and capital ists their rightful share of the world's trade. "Labor troubles may cost us more money and more lives than the sus taining of a reasonable expansion pol icy. "The people's interest lay in malt ing this a great nation, tlreat tilings are accomplished by advances, not by retreating. "The Republican party stands for expansion and enlarged markets, as well as the home markets for our la borers and capital. "Many Democrats individually be lieve in the same doctrine, though their party is an opposition party. REPUBLIC AX S AND DEMOCRATS. "This should not be a party question. It is an American question. Are you not proud of the record of our army and navy? Has not the noble work of our brave boys made you an Ameri can above and beyond the reach of tli:' demagogue and the theorist? "Will you vote to take down the (lag, that glorious emblem of Liberty, from any foot of soil on which the brave boys have planted it? "Your answer will be recorded as in IR6I to ISGS. Then without regard to party the word nation was written in the blood of the heroes of the civil war. and today the blue and gray re joice that the north and west decided that we must govern the south even "without the consent of me governed ' temporarily. "Wilt you vote as the brave boys fought, for the supremacy of American interests at home and abroad? "If in 1901) the people decide for a Chinese policy, for a retrograde move ment, for labor troubles, for com munism and possible anarchy, we will all obey the will of the people, for the people rule. "In the fall of 1599 we should, 1, large majorities, sound the prelimin ary note of protest against the sur render of one foot of soil on which the flag lias been planted, and we should speak through the ballot in de cided language in favor of giving to our labor and our capital every ad vantage enjoyed by the people of any other nation." A DEMOCRATIC HYMN. Dedicated by Pennsylvania ltepubll. cans to lti'.viinlte C'liudlilnte Creasy. Here is a "Democratic hymn" from the New York Sun, which is respectfully ! dedicated by Republicans of Pennsyl vania to Colonel Guffey and his free silver nominee, Creasy, whose candi dacy stands for Bryanism and all that sympathy with the Bryan cause im plies: Hurrah for Aftuinalclo.
