Hero ure snapshot comments upon
some of the live issues of the present
presidential situation aa Riven by an
intelligent mechanic employed In one
of the Industrial establishments in
Philadelphia, He is a wage earner
who reads and thinks, and who in a
clear and conslse manner discusses
matters which nre of vital 'merest to
every citizen concerned In the welfare
of the nation.
The toller and student of .iueri
can politics writes:
i IMPERIALISM
This la- declared by Mr. Bryan and
other Democratic leaders to be the
"paramount issue." In other words, it
is the best and most important reason
they can offer why the most prosper
ous administration tins country has
ever known should he turned out, and
why they who have no record but as
politicians should be placed in control
of th') Stupendous interests of tills
country. Tho term "Imperialism," .us
used by Mr. Bryan In application to tho
present administration, has reference
to the uses to which the military power
of the government has been put dur
ing President McKlnley'a administra
tion. What are those uses?
In 1898 war was declared against
Spain by unanimous vote of the con
gress of the I'niieii states; and remem
ber by "congress" Is meant both Demo
cratic and Republlcun representatives
ill the house and in (he senate. The
Republican administration did not. of
course, and could not deelnre war;
t nit
the
under t he const Itul Ion, w hlch
atl
power to declare war in congi ",
the duty of making war, whe.
Glared, Is Imposed on the pi
and his cabinet, and lie must ol
mandate of congress, All the wt :
knows the success with which the ... -publican
admlnist rat ion carried through
the war whh ii drove Spain from thu
American continent.
Mr. Bryan came forward then ns u
patriot and asked for and was appoint
ed colonel of a regiment, ready to take
his full share of the responsibility in
this llrst step toward w hat he now mis
names "imperialism." We any first
step. Let us look at the second and
chief step and his part therein, for It
is the basis on which his cry of "Im
perialism" must rest, if ii has any basis
at nil.
When the Spanish war was brought
to Its brilliant conclusion It was the
same almost unanimous congress, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, who Instructed
for the terms of peace with Spain and
which ratified all the peace condi
tions. Including the taking over of the
Philippine islands; and again, under
tl nsitutlon, the president of the
United States bad no recourse but to
carry out the terms of this peace
treaty Congress has never recalled
that Instruction to the president, and
he has no alternative hut to proceed
with his duty, until congress declares
for some other line of action.
Where did Mr. Bryan stand nt tho
time this treaty of peace was being
considered by congress? He made a
speeial trip to Washington and did all
In Ills power to have the treaty ratified.
If It was rislit then it must be riniit
now; and it is right now. and no man
knows this belter than Mr, Bryan. Lot
Mr. Ill van answer w hy he is so greatly
moved by the alleged wrongs of the
colored race In the Philippines. 7,000
miles away, yet dare not raise bis
Voice ill defense of millions of color id
American citizens here at home in the
southern states, who are refused their
rlKhts of Citizenship? Thus it appears
that it is the congress of the United
States. Democrats and Republicans,
and notably Mr. llryan as far as it was
In his power, who are responsible for
this tiling he now calls "Imperialism,"
and not President McKlnley, and not
his cabinet, except as they did their
duly under the constitution, whli h
they had sworn to perform. In brief,
the "paramount issue' is spurious and
is no reason al all.
It means false politics, even ns r.r.
other Democratic "issue." "free Bllver,"
means false money; and Mr. llry.in
knows that both are spurious.
r
FREE SILVER
Let It be remembered that tlfe cor
rect term is "free coinage of silver."
There can be no such thing as "f.co
silver."
Mr. Bryan forced the "free silver"
IC to l plank of 1896 on the Kansas
City convention.
lii all his campaigning speeches be
remains silent on this question, except
occasionally, where be is fori, d to
speak out. One of bis most recent ut
terances on the subje t was in Septem
ber last. He then Bald on this ques
tion: "I stand tod'u' where I stood la
1886." We all know where that la
for iu cent dollars.
One brief Illustration of one of re
many possible wrongs of free cotnag :
The deposits in this country last year
In the savings banks alone amount l
to over two and a quarter blllloi i.
This vast sum went into these banks
on the basis of bu iciits on tne dollar,
The value of the amount of silver In a
silver dollar Is about In cents.
If Mr. Bryan's free coinage at 16 to
1 goes Into effect every 100 cent doll ir
will be reduced iu value to about 10
cents, and every holder of merchandise
of all kinds purchased by him on the
100 cents basis' would be compelled to
more than double his selling price to
protect himself, while the wage earner,
who has no merchandise, hut only his
labor to soil and his saving in the
6ank, has no escape but to aecept tha
40 cent dollar for his pay.
This is but one of the ii. aa
workings of frt1" colnaRe. a new form
of robbery which Mr. Bryan pn . ..t
to legalise.

TRUSTS
The important point to remember Is
that all existing trusts are the ere., doe
of state governments, uot in any ia
of the federal government. Democrat
cy's time honored olatm Is. and ,i.iiy
has been, stute sovereignty the itsht
of each state to enact such laws as K
wills, as within its own borders with
out any Interference from the federal
government, unti it is an open tjutis
tlon whether the federal government
can forbid any state the rte,ht to Rive
legal existence to corporate bodJfl
known aa trusts. There was one ui
blaation which the federal government
was able to reach, beenusc it came tin
der the tiead of "Interstate Conine i t e,"
namely, that of the railway conii lea.
That combination has been dc t royal
under federal legislation, given trod
to by the decisions of the Unite I S .uos
supreme court, that same high court
of Justice In the land which Mr Bryaa
declares must be discontinued
Trusts ns now met with hat uuM
Into existence durliiR the la t sfj or

creation. Did the Democratic govera
ment of Mr. Cleveland do anything to
control them? The most active agita

last two years inc. inn these two yean
the Republican government has been
occupied with many great national and
international questions. Nevertheless
during the last Bcsslon of congn tha
Republicans endeavored to pai b con

ble federal legislation for ti
tlon of trusts, and thai effort
