BRYAN'S AVOWED AID AND COMFORT TO AGUINALDO. Indications that the Democratic Leader and the Filipino Insurgent Have a Very Sat isfactory Mutual Understanding. AGUINALDO WANTS US TO SUPPORT HIS "REPUBLIC; Wc Arc to Hold the Bag and He Is to Get All the Benefits Aguinaldo Admitted that His People Were Divided as to Policy. Gen. Whlttler, of den. Mcrritt's staff, called on Aguinaldo by appointment at Malolos (see pace 408, Senate Docu ment C2, Treaty of Peace papers) and had a business talk with him. The. sub stance of this conversation has bocomc much more Important since the Demo cratic party has committed Itself to the Aguinaldo policy In the Philippines and since the Democratic candidate for the presidency has accepted thut program, added to It the Monroe doctrine, and is pressing the campaign upon the theory that the "paramount" issue is a protec torate for the Philippines after we sur render them and to cover them against the Intrusion of Europe with the Asiatic annex of the American doctrine of Mon roe. There occurred between Gen. Whlttler and the Tagal tyrant a thorough conver sation on the subject of this American protectorate of the Philippines. Gen. Whlttler told Aguinaldo that In a few days he would go to Paris to appenr be fore the ponce commission sitting In .that city, and the General added (tl- tioe his own ofDcInl report o( the conversation): "I started the talk by announcing to Agulniildo that I wis to leaven4 few days to appear before the pei)coffimls slon. and that I had a very friendly feel- Inst for the Filipinos and admiration for many of their good qualities, their quiet, cleanliness, temperance and great Imita tive power, and a possibility of learning almost nu.v profession or business; mat 1 would like to be able to present to the commission his and his people's views and demands and what relation they ex pected to hold to the United Stntcs In case we decided to Keep tne lsinnus. l't will be noted that Gen. Whlttler ex nressed himself fully and clearly. He said: "Aguinaldo replied rather naively, thnt his people were divided into two parties those in favor of absolute independence and those of nu American protectorate; that the parties are about equal; that he Is waiting to see who will huve the ma jority, in that case to take his position." This report of what Aguinaldo had to say about a division of opinion between Independence and an American protecto rate Is much more interesting just now than it ever has been. Tills conversa tion was nearly two years ago. Aguinaldo had made himself troublesome at Bnc coor. and his removal to Malolos, it is evident now, was u step thut meant pre parations for war with the Americans, lie found he was not to be admitted to Manila, and made choice of a position on the railroad from which he expected to turn and capture the city. lie was en gaged in this work when Gen. Whlttler called upon him, nnd eluded the pene trating question asked him by saying: "The parties among his countrymen In respect to absolute independence or an American protectorate were about equal, nr.il he was waiting to see who would hnvc the mnjority to take his position." Aguinaldo hnd this habit of avoiding giving a straight nnswer to a strong ques tion. Mr. Whittier told him, and it would be well for Mr. Bryan to make u memorandum of what Whlttler said to Aguinaldo, and for the people of the United States to study It closely and seriously, for precisely the objections to Philippine independent government tltat existed then exist and are more obvious uow. Gen. Whlttler Bald: "I pointed out to him that it would probably be useless to try to bring those In favor of absolute Independence to any chaugo of opinion, but they must con sider thnt they urc without any navy nnd without capital, which Is greatly needed for the development of the country; thnt the Philippine government nlone did not possess the clemeut of strength to in sure the retention of the Islands without the assistance of other governments. They would be nt the mercy of any of hnlf a dozen powers striving to take eith er a part or the whole of the Islands, and they must consider thnt their greatest prosperity would come by the gradual accession of power under American aus pices." Tills was to the point and Aguinaldo was disturbed. There Isn't a particle of doubt that he hod already fully made up his mind to make war for complete In dependence without any expectation or desire to please the United Stutes, but it was too early for him to avow his pur pose. He knew perfectly that his views of carrying on a personal government could not be acceptable to the people of thu United States. The reply of Agui naldo to Whlttler and remarks upon a further question are of .sensational pith and moment now. (ien. Whlttler's re port Is quoted us follows: "But the civilized nations of the world would see that our possessions were not taken from us." I replied: "How has It been in China, where England, Hussia, France, Ger many, etc., nil strive to control terri tory r To HiIh he could make no reply. I further asked what that side would expect America, acting the role of pro tector, to do. He said: "To furnish the navy, while the Flllnlnns held all the country and administered civil olllces with Its own people." "And what, then, would America get from this?" said I. "That would be a detail," he said, which would be settled hereafter." Gen. Whlttler adds: "We pursued this Keep Off Other Nations. While subject of a protectorate for some time without getting any satisfactory results." Mr. Higgins (a friend of Whlttler who accompanied him) felt that Agulualdo had been simply repenting a lesson, but I did not feel so sure of thnt. Uuen un luiuo, a close friend of Aguinaldo, was present at this conversation, but came In and gave his opinion he was an lull mate of Aguinaldo that the President was In favor of an American protecto rate. Certainly he would be If It wns the cud of n series of propositions such ns Bryan has presented to the American people, which proposed plainly the turning over to Aguinnldo the American army and navy whenever he has a government in his own hands stable as to his authority and Independent of any other authority. Then the time comes when the protec tornte will be vital. The American duty as n protector is to stand off the powers named by Whlttler England, Bussln, France, Germany, and Japan Is to be Included, and what are Americans to get for nil this? We have already the answer of Agul nuldo: "A detail to be considered here after." It is a question whether the Americans are to pay their expenses while In the service of Aguinaldo. Aguinnldo s state meut of what he meant was made more than two years ago. He suld the same thing to me, with n little less detail, on the 27th of August, 1SDS. The Democratic party has submissively embodied the Aguinnldo plan in its plat form, and Mr. Bryan has exploited it in his speech, and as a personal contribution he has slung in the Monroe doctrine in such u way that If he were President o the United Stutes he would have the nl tematlve of backing squarely out of It, or warring with all the nations of En rope thnt arc determined to pursue the I colonial system. It is well known thnt there has been a good denl of correspondence between th malcontents of this country nnd the In surgents of the Philippines, and th symptoms are that Bryan and Aguimildo who constitute n mutual admiration so ciety, hnvc been directly or Indirectly in confidential communication. Why not directly? Ench of them would feel himself hon ored to have so distinguished a corre spondent. They have much in common. Each anticipates being the ruler of his own country and is in a state of confi dence thnt he Is going to be. The first tiling Bryan would think about would be of soothing the enemy he denominates "our ally" by entering into an alliance with him, offensive and de fensive. This would require a good deal of letter writing, and they hnvc worked their three points down tine. The Philip pine resolution In the Democratic plat form and the Philippine proposals of Mr. Bryan In his acceptance speech arc in the nature of a protocol, nnd if the Unit ed States Is ready to submit to serve Aguinaldo as a protector, and do It for nothing, maintaining a great licet nnd nrmy to do it with, Agulualdo would not be foolish enough to offer objections. Bryan offers him plainly to play his game and has put In the Monroe doctrine ns n trump card to scare Europe. Bryan has Invested everything he hns got in the Malay business. There Is n striking resemblance In one respect between Aguinnldo nud Bryan. Neither hns ever been elected President, but both are assuming the duties of the o 111 re, each attitudinizes as the personifi cation of the nation. Bryan hasn't as yet appointed himself to anything. Aguinaldo enu tench him the trick. It Is the profound fnlth of each that lie is by nnd for and in himself uu E Plurlbus Uniiiu. MUHAT nALSTEAD. Veterans Indorse McKinley. Veterans of the G. A. It. held the opening business session of the encamp ment Aug. in Chicago. Joel M. Longenecker, conimnnder of the Illinois department, played the lending role at the meeting, which took place In the Studobaker Theater, and before he had finished his part President McKlnley hnd received the Indorsement of veterans, representing posts throughout the United States. The outburst came spontane ously nnd suddenly and the ex-Judge's commendation was emphasized with n five-minute demonstration, In which aged men forgot their years and clambered upon seats nnd yelled frantically. All this happened while Mayor Harrison, who had just welcomed the veterans for mally to the city, sat close by, grim, un moved, silent. The Illinois commander, In his turn, wns tendering the hand of greeting in lo liulf of his department and was lauding the heroes that Illinois had turned out and thnt Illinois, hand-in-haml with the nation, now felt proud of, Lincoln had been cheered. So had Grant and Logan. By this time the ex-judge wns perspir ing nnd his collar wns gradually wilt ing beneath the strain of oratory. "And we have been proud of n com rade who has occupied the presidential chair for four years," he shouted the veterans In every corner moved closer "nnd for four years more we will be proud of him." The cheers that greeted the speaker were beyond nnythlng given during the encampment. There is no doubt of It the Grand Army Is with Comrade Mc Klnley heart and soul. DEAR BOY" LETTERS NO. 4 My Dear Boy As nn American citizen I am happy over the vast progress made by the United States during the admin istration of Wm. McKlnley. It Is true that the increase of our wenlth, the enlargement of our posses sions, nnd the position which we hnvo gained among the nations of the earth, hnvc brought to us n vast Increase of responsibility. However, this responsi bility came to us providentially, unex pectedly nnd unsought; nnd, If wc nrc true to ourselves nnd to righteousness, the God of nations will guide us In the future ns in the past. It Is also true that there ore some sad tilings to contemplate In this connection. War Is always snd, and we have had practically three wars on our hands. None of them could be foreseen four years ngo. We were pushed Into them nud it is a good thing that we hnd so wise a pilot at the helm in 'this critical period of our nation's history. But while there nrc tilings that make one sad, there nrc many more to make one glad, and It Is of these things that I wish to spenk. First The better state of feeling be tween the North nnd the South. You were born since those old dnys nnd can have but little Idea of the Intense bit terness engendered by the Civil Wnr. It wns a common saying nt the close of the wnr thnt It would take several genera tlons for the enmity to pass nwny. Men thought It Impossible that North and South should come together hcnrtlly dur ing the lifetime of the men who fought the buttles nnd the women who gave their husbands and their sons to the Northern nnd Southern causes. Gradu ally the feeling between the sections be came better. We made n long stride .forwnrd during the summer thnt Gar field lay dying nnd the whole nation, North nud South, watched by his bed side In anxiety, hope nnd fenr.

When Joe Wheeler nnd Fltzhugh Lee put on the blue and called them selves "Yanks," when the sons of the Union soldier and the sons of the Con federate soldier, side by side, won vic tories for America, the heart of the North and the South came together. I rejoice with joy unspeakable that I hnvo lived to see the day when I nnd my com rades In nrms for the Union enn clasp the hands of our former foes aud con gratulate each other on the prosperity nnd Increnslug glory of our common coun try. Second The expansion of American territory, it has been going on for a hundred years, and never more glorious ly than now. The American spirit is that of expansion, l't 'was un American boy who set the hen on forty-seven eggs and told his mother thnt he did so be cnuse he "wnnted to see the blamed old thing sprend herself." To keep spread ing Is an instinct of Americanism. Aud don't you be one bit afraid, my boy, that the old mother American eagle will not be nble to hover snfely over all the eggs she can lind. You see, my boy, 1 think thnt the best thing the whole world can do Is to settle down quietly and be United Stntes. I have a profound pity for anybody nu the earth who does not live under the pro tecting folds of the star-spangled banner. I3very drop of your father's blood Is American, nnd It tingles with delight at the sight of Hawaii, Porto UIco aud the Phlipplucs added tu uur American pos sessions. True, uffairs In the Philip pines nrc not ns pleasant uow ns we could wish, but "wait till the clouds roll by." Tho (lag has brought blessing to every place it has touched hitherto, und will do thu same In the future. Third I rejoice nt the Increased re spect for our country among the nations of the earth. Manila Bay, Santiago aud San Juan were revelations to the na tions abroad, Hitherto their Idea has been thnt the Yankee Is simply a shrewd trader and Inventor, with no soul beyond the Almighty Dollnr. It was nn awak ening to them to discover thnt American gunners nrc the best In the world, that American warships are unequalled, thnt American soldiers are unsurpassed In courage, discipline, Intelligence nnd effi ciency, and thnt Americans fight, not merely for money, but for Ideas, for lib erty nnd for the deliverance of the op pressed of other lands nnd races. And In the present trouble In Chlnn the Unit ed States Is winning the esteem of the world, not only by the success of our arms, but by our careful, dignified, judi cious diplomacy. Fourth I rejoice In the Increase of the nation's wealth. In Cleveland's time we were n nntlon of borrowers. Now we nrc n nation of lenders. Wo are n hnppy and prosperous people, Mcnnwhlle, the twentieth century dnwns upon us with tremendous possi bilities In store. Just whnt Is before us we do not know. But there Is a mighty shuklug among the dry bones and In dications of tremendous steps forwnrd townrd the coming of the kingdom of God. My part in life Is nearly done, but you, my son, will live to see the mighti est epoch In the world's history. Be honest, be true, be Christian, nnd BE AN AMERICAN. Do not vote to "Swnp Dorses While We Arc Crossing Strenms." Vote to keep nt the helm the mnn whose steady brain, loving henrt and true hands have under God guided the Bhlp of state so safely through peril to a new birth of national glory. YOUlt FATHER.

They Have Never Succeeded in Creating a Monop oly Because There Never Can Be a Monopoly of Brains Competition Always Open. WHEN THEY GET GREEDY THEY As They Transact Business on a Large Scale, They Are Able to Buy Cheaper and to Sell Cheaper to All Consum ers No Trust Can Hold a Alonopoly. r have been a drummer for fourteen years, have traveled enough throughout the country to know that human nnture nnd business conditions are about the same everywhere, nnd have learned, be cause the question hns come right home to me, considerable about Trusts. Perhaps this seems like nn over-confident stntement, but I wnnt to say that it nny drummer, or nnybody else, can gnlusny what I am now writing, I should like to hear from him. In this discussion we must, like busy men engaged on n hard business proposition thnt actually concerns us, eliminate all the pipe dreams, all the cheap stories, all the Hun garian jokes, all the stuff and nonsense; we must get right down to cases ns I will now. First Remember that trusts nre big comblnntions for business purposes; big ger nnd bigger, if they are necessary, and can do themselves good by being bigger Jnnd bigger; smaller nnd smaller, or fall " . . .. . tlt is a little vulgar to say that every body is "out for the dust," but every body Is, just the same. To bo n little more exact, let us believe, because It Is perfectly true, that nnyone who has gone Into a trust, or hus helped to form a trust, hus done It for whnt he expects to be his own advantage. Anyone who Is opposed to n trust will succeed In Inter ferlng with It, or breaking It up, Just in proportion ns he, nnd not the trust, Is working In hnrmony with some economic law. Economic law Is u large-sounding ex pression, but I know what It means Years ago, no matter how many, there weren't nny fnctorles; people made things nt home. Afterwards they gathered in factories aud iiiude things there, then enme machinery, which displaced ninny of the work people. This was u hard ship to them, but they couldn't help It und nftcr they got over feeling badly they were glad to live under the now con dltions. Years ngo Jones & Son, or Jones fc Co., hnd capital enough nud bruins enough to do everything that was requir ed of a business concern. After u whllo no partnership had money or bruins enough for the business requirements of the time. Then corporations were neces sary. Hy the way, corporations nre char tered by Stale legislatures, nnd what Stnte legislatures do for them, or to them, they enn undo provided, of course, nobody Is wronged In the process. Plensu keep that nil In mind, because It is im portant. It Is Important to know thnt corporations, und nftcr them trusts, nro creutures of the law nnd enn't transcend the law, nud since wc, the people the peepul, Mr. Sulzer would call ns elect the lawmakers, It Is our own fault If the laws don't suit us. Come down to the present time In tills mntter of the development of Industry. This mntter of the development of pro duction, manufacturing and commerce, Is, nccordlng to ccoiioinlc laws; that Is, ac cording to things ns they must absolutely happen, uecordliig to things that couldn't linmien nny other way. Just as machin ery has more and more replaced hand work greatly to the niiviintiige or me mnnunl lnborer In the end because he could turn to better things und could make more money nt It, and could buy the necessaries and the luxuries of life cheaper, becaiiKo they were made cheap er by mnchlncry and could be sold cheap er so on the llnuneliil end of It, In the wny of providing und using capital, In tho mutter of selling In nil kinds or markets, there hns been u corresponding change; big capitals taking the place of small ones, smart fellows going out and tack ling all the problems of Invention, econ omics, traveling, selling, advertising, etc., Instead of old-fashioned ones. I he cor poration is pretty old, the trust fairly now. When the trust dropped down up on us nothing new happened In particular except that bigger and bigger corpora tions were to tuke tho place of the older and smaller ones. Here wo nre, then, down to the present time. Business wns bad around !.! and 'PI. Hundreds, yes, thousands, of man ufacturers, jobbers and merchants were flattened out; first, by the uncommonly hard conditions brought upon them by tlie Cleveland panic, aud then by n kind of structural weakness lu their business caused by the violence of competition. These hard times, making tills too vio lent competition more weakening than It could ever hnve been under other con dltions, made tho formation of trusts, all of them thnt could possibly be formed, very easy. The manufacturer wnnted to reduce the vlnb-uco of the competition or do uwny with It nltogether. He was tired of worrying. He wanted pence, lie saw, too, that there were economics in production and distribution that he him self, working nlone, could never realize, that would bo realized the moment he and his competitors worked together- buying larger quuntltles than over be fore together, making tilings up togetli er, selling then together, cutting the price n little together perhaps, aud, If so, increasing the quantity of sales. In the new scheme whs a chance to live. BREAK THEIR OWN BACKS I'There wns pence. There were economics that could be effected and thnt he wns a fool not to effect. There was a chance to steady things and know whether ho hnd nnythlng In the world or not. Pos sibly there was u chance for profits again. iins wns the chance for the promoter nnd the underwriting banker, or what ever you choose to call him, ns well as for the manufacturer. If the manufac turer hadn't been In the condition de- scribed, the promoter nnd the banker couldn't have done anything with him or for him. It required cash money, or Its equivalent, In guaranties, to buy, or pnrtly buy, one plant hero and unother plant there. This thu underwriter could furnish. Jt required the promoter to koo nbout It nil. But thu promoter's employ ment didn't last long. Where Is the pro moter now, by the way, and where la the underwriting banker? Tilings have been going so well In the lust two or three years thnt thu manu facturer, the man who used to want to combine, doesn't wnnt to combine nny longer. He Isn't- tired, he lias plenty of capital, his machinery Is buzzing, he Is selling twlcu ns much stuff ns before. probably just as much abroud.ns at home. I hero Is n chance for All. Conmetltion Is netlvo, hilt buyers arc Uf. haggling nbout the price quite so mucik'.'ir nt lenst they havcA'ot somo money SvKn which to buy sourVxolng once In n while. This Isn't saying thnt trusts are not now forming, and that many more of them, n great many more, will not bo formed. They nre forming, and they will be formed; but they will only bo orgnnlz ed successfully where there Is some econ omic renson, some reason In good busi ness economy nnd judgment, why two, or twenty, or two hundred concerns should pool their Issues, cut expenses and lop off the dead stuff and get there in true business style, whether ten men or a thousand men nre required to do It, whether n hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars are required to do some thing In this, that or the other part of the world, or In nny old part of the world. Now without going into definitions too much especially since we are agreed what a trust rcnlly Is let me say that a trust, In the right acceptance of the word, Is not n monopoly, It can't be, or It It thinks It can he, let It try! Ten to one, yes, u thousand to one, It knows better than to try. Tho Stiiudnrd Oil Com pany Is not a monopoly, nnd I'll wager, If the truth were known, that It makes money by Its methods Just us much as It docs by the volume of Its business. Judge Gary of the Federal Steel Com pany n little two hundred million dollar corporation which doesn't monopolize the steel business as I notice, nnd proba bly never will while Andrew Carnegie nud u few other good scrappers nre lu the field says thnt a well-organized and well-muunged trust Is all right up to tho point where It tries to monopolize Its pro duct. There It over-renches Itself, It gets Into danger, It Invites competition, und this, mind you, Is the competition of giants nnd not of pigmies. Mr. F. O. MnthlcsKcn, once the chair man of the manufacturing committee of the sugar trust (and I don't know of a higher authority that could bo cited), says that the Glucose Trust, which, I believe, lie organized and Is at the head of, Is in tho field for onlv nbout seven per cent for Its stockholders; that It would bo folly for them to try to squeeze mora out of tho consumer for their Investing capitalists; that plenty of money nud plenty of brains (for brains and money nre two commodities thnt nobody lu tho world enn corner In a thousand years) could go right Into the field against them and level them down to the seven per cent basis nn quickly ns Brother Brynn can turn a political handspring. Tho Glucose Trust, you understand, might not hesitate to squeeze nn eight or u ten pur cent dividend out of the consumer it it thought It could succeed In doing so. It can't succeed, nud it knows it.

Here iih thu American people stand ou thu udgu of n new era wo propose to equip our business world with the best toed of excliuuge known to modern com merce. We propose to send our ships into nil parts of the world as wo hnvo raised our flag in the uttermost parts of the earth. And we want It understood in Europe nud America, in Africa, In Asia, and the Islands of the sen, that there Is no longer u debate In the United State as to whnt thu standard dollar of the American people Is. We nre going to write lu the luws of this country what Is nlreudy the prac tice of our government, that every obli gation of the United States shall be paid in gold. When a man comes to the coun ter of our treasury wo are going to luy down two coins before him, thu gold dol lar and the silver dollar. We are going to say to him: "There are the standard coins; one of them Is as good as the other; gold Is the standard and silver Is conformable to that standard. And the credit of the United Stutes Is out to uuiko one just us good us the others; taku your choice." And, for one, I believe thut when It Is In there It will maintain the gold stand ard and a just equality of all thu coins of the United States. Extruct from speech of Congressman Dolllver.
