"It may be that when oar nation a. H yonni; tnd wsk and whn the chief concern of our statesmen was to keep from treading upon the toes of more powerful nations that a timid declara tion of intention to keep to ourselves and let these more powerful nations ; have the rest of the world was the v.-lsor policy, but we have kicked off our copper toed boots and outgrown our short clothes and can now afford to tramp on the toes of other na tions. If they get In our way. We could not in our infancy as a nation ve.-y well afford to expand until we had expanded, but in all the precedents and opinions of our older statesmen I fail to find that any of them have ' ever maintained that we should buy new territory as Christmas gifts for other nations. "Hryan and his Democratic colleagues urged us to buy the Philippines. They ! helped to ratify the treaty with Spain. If there was any Imperialism It was In buying the Islands. It Is certainly not Imperialism to try to pet possesion of the property we bought. If McKlnley Is an imperialist Hryan is nn imperial I 1st, because they both favored the pur- chase of the Philippines. McKlnley Is ' only trying to get possession of tho property which Mr. Bryan authorized him to buy. Was Hryan In urging tho pur hase of the Philippines trying to make a campaign Issue? Was he try ', Ing to put the Republican party In a I hole? No hole that the Democratic i party can dig Is big enough to hold i the Republican party this fall. Have we paid $20,000,000 for a campaign Is sue for the Democratic party? CONGRESS WILL DECIDE. "As to what will be done with the Isl i anils after we pet possession, that will be for congress to decide and not for Hryan or Mi Klnley, if either is elected president. Bryan says he will call con 1 press together In extra session to frame a bin for the Independent government i of the people nf the Philippines. Mc Klnley says Ik will put down the rebel I lion and pet possession nnd tho con gress can deal with the matter, and in the meantime one tribe in the Philip I pines, the Tagals, are hoping and pray ing that Bryan will be elected and j strnininc every nerve to hold out until 1 nfter election. "The Di mocrata did the same thing j In ivfll. They declared the war a fall ! tire and proposed a dishonorable pence. I They nominal i a candidate upon this i Issue. The Republicans renominated Lincoln, and declared for the prosecu . tion of th" war. He went to the poll! upon that Isttte, and the Confederates j kept up the fight, hi plus that the Dem ocratic party wi ild win. Lincoln was elected, and the southeri Confederacy i wen' to pieces wl hln 40 days after his ' Inauguration. If the Democratic party , had stood Bqun 'c up to the war In the campaign of 1S64 Lee would have sur I ri n h red mi nths before he did. All I that kept the southern Confederacy to gether during Its Inst days was the hope f Detn cratlc victory, and all that keeps the Philippine ri I I lllotl together now is the promised aid of the Demo cratic party if successful at the polls ; In November RESPONSIBILITY PLACED. "How can Bryan and his colleagues, who openly declare their Intention. If successful, to give terms to Aguinaldo, escape the respOtblllty for our sol diers slaughtered during this cam paign? I know that the custom of crit icising the administration Is prevalent in campaigns. 1 know that great lati tude Is allowed In criticism, but where overtures are held out to public ene mies with whom we are at war It ceases to be legitimate criticism, and ought to be condemned severely at the polls. "It is permissible to oppose the ad mlnlstration In all Internal matters that do not affect our relations with other countries, but II is un-American and disloyal to extend sympathy and promise aid to a people with whom we are at war. Had there been a presi dential campaign on In it would nave been equally as proper for Hryan to have declared bis Intention to con vene congress fur tho purpose of stop ping hostilities with Spain as for him now to declare his intention. If elected, to stop the war with Aguinaldo and his followers. They are public enemies, and a man who extends sympathy and encouragement to a public enemy is hardly a safe and proper man to elect president i f the ITnlted States. "It makeq thi difference whether the president happens to !" a Republican or a Democrat, no law abiding citizen can afford to threw obstacles In his path We should nt all times present a united front to t' emy. We should trt encourage him by dissensions at borne. It iu" Demoi ratlc national con vention had di u d tor a vigorous prosecution of the war II would have been ov ir by thla tl ne. The last Phil ippine soldier, hoi elesa -if r.ld through political diss osli is 1.. this country, would have thrown down his gun In despair. I QUE8TION OF HONOR. ' "I am surprised that the Democrats have raised thir question. rur people 1 are a peaceful p' le and love not war, : but they have r ver bnped nor hesl- I tatnl In fr.mt of thi en 'my. The east end tho west tni ' li e upon finance, but they will nevi i i Ivlde upon n ques tion that aflei ts thi honot i f 'he coun try We could not. without dishonor, withdraw our soldiers from the Philip pines so long as there Is n man in arms nirnlnt our flag We did not make war i on tho Philippines, We acquired the islands legitimately, As soon ns we had done so Aguinaldo undertook to drive us away. Hud we struck our j colors and le't the islands, does any I one doubt that Hryan would, now be i charelng us with cowardice and claim : ing that wo should have done Just what we are doing? I "We are accused of favoring expan sion. Prynn and his followers are op ! posed to expansion. Expansion Is growth. The party that will be In con trol In this country must keep pace with the march of events. The coun j try has expanded, grown. The ideas and ambitions of our people have grown: everything haa expanded but the Democratic party That ta tbelr trouble. They still tread in the foot steps of their forefathers. They will not realise the wonderful growth and expansion of the country. Nor will they appreciate the need of more terri tory and greater markets for our sur plus products. They are an old party, behind the date, a back number. There la not room In the Democratic party for the growing energy, seal and pluck of our new America. The Democratic arty la a party of the past They have j to future. They want to bring back i the fly lag ships of ambition and enter prise and trade and commerce, and an chor them forever In the safe harbors of Democratic natonal indolence. They chancs nothing, hazard nothing, risk nothing. They are not fit to govern this country, and they have demon strated that fact everv time they have tried It. THERE MUST BE NO HALTING. "Ths country cannot wait, it Is hur rying on to Its destiny. It has no use for the Democratic party. We must have new consumers and new markets for our surplus products, if today our exports to foreign markets of our sur plus products should cease we would have a panic in 90 days. We ask noth ing of the Democratic party but to keep out of the way. We are not submitting our plans to them; we are not consult ing them: we are pressing forward to rapture the markets of the world for our surplus products. The present so called Democratic party are not Dem ocrats, but an aggregation of all Popu llstlc factions. The Democrats, the real Democrats, who think moro of principle than party, arc voting for McKlnley. "I know with the cunning that comes with great experience they are trying In some counties of our state to cap ture Republicans by fusion upon can didates. A few of our brethren are not satisfied that the majority should rule. They think the minority should rule. When a man In any organisation Is not satisfied that the majority should rule it the organization can better spare that man than to change Its rules and let the minority rule It. I know of no organization, be It civil, political, re ligious or social, where the majority does not control it. I for one am not willing to try the experiment of permit ting the minority of the Republican party In Pennsylvania to control It. Our majority Is not so close In Pennsyl vania but what we can spare those who do not believe that the majority should rule. ADVICE TO INSURGENTS. "This fusion with the Democrats will fall. A presidential campaign In Penn sylvania Is a bad time to try tho ex periment. These Republicans who are planning It and encouraging It had better drop It. They will fall In the end. Certain newspapers will undoubt edly continue to urge it. but they will have little Influence. Their motives are pretty well understood, Recent primaries prove that. They exert uo political Influence In their own com munities and they will soon cease to exert any In other localities. The peo ple are not dishonest or corrupt be cause they do not agree with an arti cle In n newspaper. They are quite as likely to be as honest as the man who wrote It, iiiid mine so when the man who w rote It does not express his own views, but as he may be directed te write. SAYS ALLISON Eepublicans of Pennsylvania Have a Warning From the Iowa .. Statesman. BKYANITES AKE HOPEFUL. IniM.riiin( That tin Legislature in tin Keystone State simii i... Coil" troUt-d ly the bliilii :i i t ltepilll- llenim. Pennsylvanlans are naturally Inter ested in a speech by Senator Allison In opening the Republican campaign in Iowa, iu which he referred to the dan ger of the Republican party losing con trol of the United States senate In the present national campaign. He pointed out that the danger to tho WILLIAM n. ALLI805. business interests of tbe country from froc silver Ik as great today us It was four years ago. The senator then dl ; rected his remarks to those who in 1 tend to support Bryan this year lie cause they think the political complex ion of the senate and the enactment of the currency hill removes any present danger from free silver, saying: ' "They now say that It Is impossible ' for anything to be done respecting ill- ver because the senate of the United ' States has a safe majority against Its adoption; therefore, Mr. Bryan's hands ure tied behind his back and free silver j is a dead letter. Do they expect to elect Mr. Bryan president and secure ; the electoral vote of a sufficient num ber of states to elect him and yet make i no change in the controlling majority ' of the senate? Do they believe that If Mr. liryan Is elected his election will I not carry with It new senators of the I faith of Mr. llryun and of the faith of i the platform adopted at Kansas City? Do they beltevo that Mr. Bryan as president will exert no influence upon the votes of senators and in the sen ate? Mr. Bryan is a positive charactw In some respects. With a presidential nomination far In the future ha had influence enough with bis party in 1899 to force a number of senators of that party to vote for ths ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain, a number sufficient to secure the ratification ot the treaty. He showed his power with hia nartr at Kansas City, when, against the Judgmeui u. majority of its dele gates from the gnat producing states of the country, he forced upon them this silver plank as a coudition of his nomination. Such a man la not with out a will when h" has a purpose to achieve. That he has a purpose re specting the free coinage of silver no one doubts. It was the shibboleth of his campaign four years ago, and he made it the shibboleth this year In fact by forcing it Into the platform against the Judgment of a majority of the dele gates to the convention. EASY TO CHANGE THE SENATE. "His friends claim that he will not tarry many states, but In order ta be elected there are certain states that he must carry, and In some of these Uni ted States senators are to be elected. There is one senator to be elected this winter In each of the states of Kan sas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah and Idaho, and I be Bryan carried them all In 1S96, and lieve we will carry most of them, but he must carry them this year to plve him even a chance of success, and the same votes that will give him these elec toral votes will also elect legislatures Democrat ic. "The currency law of the last ses sion was passed by is majority. Sen ator Kyle, of Sic: ih Dakota, being ab sent and unpaired, did not vote, though having a consistent free silver record In the senate. Senators Lindsay, of Kentucky, and Cattery, of Louisiana, go out of the ? nnte on the 4th of March, and both their places have al ready been fille i by senators who favor free silver. So that by that process the majority of 19 would be reduced on a similar vote to It. and standing off Utah agalnsl Pennsylvania (both these st ttes having a seal vacant), If the sis . aatora from the states I have named, ex ! Utah, ihall be Demo cratic, the Republican majority In the Senate Will be reduced to two. and if Senator Kyle should vote for free sil ver, ns be has always done heretofore, the senate would be a tie on that ques tion, leaving the vice president to cast the deciding v te, which he Is pledged by his record, by the platform and by speech to iast in favor of free silver. The Democratic senator from Dela ware voted for free silver, and if the Democrats shall carry that state, where there Is now one vacancy. It Is fair to suppose that the senator elected would be for free silver also. Till-: DOCTRINE op CHANCES. "Thus It Is that on the doctrine of chances, leaving out of consideration all ine other states claimed by Mr. I rynn In which senators are to be elected, and assuming that taking all these together, there may be one or more changes, there would be a major ity. Including the vote of the vice pres ident, for the rei eal of this law without any changes oilier than I have men tioned. "Thus, without discussing the ques tion whether Mr, Bryan could or could not, through hia secretary of the treas ury, force upon the country the silver standard, it la plain to me that If he is elected. With the power ho will wield lu his party as president, there will bo a majority in the house gf representa tives, and a large majority, for freo silver, and with the force and power that lies behind free silver, a majority In the senate will bo secured for the repeal of the law passed at the last ses sion, and that law repealed, without af firmative legislation for free silver, It Is possible, In my belief, for a presi dent hostile to our present standard of money to force the silver standard upon the people." Sonntor Allison's speech should ap peal to Republicans to support the reg ular candidates of their party for the assembly, an that the next legislature will be absolutely controlled by the stalwart Republicans to ensure the election of n stalwart Republican to the United Stati 8 senate from Pennsylvania.

I felt and tired of living. I had dis ease of kidneys, bladder trouble, dropsy and bloating, had womb trouble and a large tumor had formed; in fact all my organs were out of fix. 1 ' Seeinga woman's letter prais ing your remedies, I wrote to her and she begged of me to try it, telling me all that it had done for her. I bought six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and now cannot ex press my gratitude to you. The tumor began to come away in pieces and I got better all the time. I believe now that I am entirely cured. "My doctors could not believe it at first, as they all had told me that my case was a hopeless one, and no human power could do me any good. They were astounded. If I can say anything that can help other women, I shall be glad to." It is not safe to wait until the last moment.
