BRYAN'S MANAGER, JONES,
OH "IGNORANT FOREIGNERS
He Said that "Ignorant Foreigners" Com
prised Fully One Half of the Number of
Votes Received by McKinley.
Deliberate Assertion of Democratic National Chairman Jas. K. Jones,
that "He Believe! Devoutly tlat Bryan Hal Been Elected
ani Was SwMlei Oat of tie Presitay."
"He BeM M in 1900 tie Bimetallic Forcss Wonlfl Win a Great Victory
His Declaration Tlat tlie Principles of 1896 Are Absolutely ,
Essential to tie Welfare of the Country."
(Extracts from the address of United States Senator James K. Jones, chair
miD of the Democratic national committee, before the Legislature of Arkansas.)
Bryan's manager, J. K. Jones, said:
"Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners, who were here taking bread
out of the mouths of honest labor, Toted
at the last election at the dictation of Mc-
Kinley's supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-half of the number
of votes received by McKinley."
These are the words of the man who
conducted the Democratic campaign in
1S90. The same man is the present chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee. He owes his position to the wish
of Mr. Bryan.
The language quoted above wa9 used
In a speech. It is no remembered scrap
of idle conversation. It was uttered in
no heat of discussion. It was a deliber
ate expression.
"Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners," said Chairman James K.
Jones of the Democratic national com
mittee, "who came here taking bread out
of the mouths of honest labor, voted at
the last election at the dictation of Mc
Kinley's supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-half the number of
Totes received by McKinley."
And then on this basis that the Re
publican party owed success in 1S9G to
"ignorant foreigners," Chairman Jones
proceeded to hold out the hope of success
in 10OO.
"Can there be any doubt," he asked,
"as to which shall prevail, the six and
one-half millions of intelligent Bryan vot
ers or the three and one-half millions
'ignorant foreigners who voted for Mc
Kinley?" It will seem to sensible people almost
Incredible that the chairman of the
Democratic national committee could
make such statements in a public speech.
But the Honorable Jas. K. Jones did it.
More than two months after the elec
tion of 1800 he uttered the assertion
quoted.
The occasion was no less serious than
an address before the Legislature of Ar
kansas. Senator Jones bad just been
elected to his third term in the United
States Senate. On the 20th of January,
1897, the Senator appeared before an in
formal joint session of his State Legisla
ture at the capitol in Little Rock. He
returned his thanks to the people of Ar
kansas through their representatives, the
Legislature, and then he proceeded to dis
cuss the defeat of Bryan, speaking as the
chairman of the Democratic national
committee and the head of the manage
ment of the Democratic campaign. He
said that he "believed devoutly that Bry
an had been elected and was swindled
out of the presidency."
He declared his belief "that in 1900 the
bimetallic forces would win great vic-
99
tory." This still makes 1G to 1 the para
mount issue.
He reasserted his conviction "that the
principles he spoke, for were absolutely
essential to the welfare of the country."
That is 1G to 1.
JONES ABUSES FOREIGN
The Senator spoke for over an hour.
Running through bis speech were two
principal thoughts. One was this idea,
that Republican success bad been achiev
ed through the "ignorant foreigners," a
remit which the Senator resented in the
name of the native Southern population
which was "more American."
The other central idea with the Sen
ator was the injustice of the unequal
distribution of wealth. Upon this he
dwelt with almost the emphasis which
he gave to the "ignorant foreigners.
"What has been the cause of this
great struggle?" the Senator asked. "The
people are as honest and as industrious
as they ever were. What, then, was
the matter? The last census report shows
that the wealth of the country was $03,-
000.000,000, or about $5,000 to each fam
ily of five members." The Senator quot
ed figures to show the inequality in the
distribution of wealth. "Why was Mas
sachusetts so much better off than Ar
kansas? 'Were they more industrious
ami more deserving?" He considered
that the Southern people rank fully up
to, if not ahead of, the people in the
balance of the country. The Southern
people are more completely Anglo-Saxon
than those of the other States and there
fore more American.
At this point the chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee made one of
the most remarkable of this series of
startling statements for Arkansas con
sumption. He illustrated his assertion
that the Southern people are "more
American" than the rest of the country,
in this way:
"It took the people of the combined
North and East four years to conquer
the Southern people, and the latter had
built for them a pension list that was
appalling."
The Senator's speech bristled with as
sertions intended to incite the spirit of
class prejudice. He said:
"Millionaires and paupers grow on the
same bush. When you make a million
aire you make dozens of paupers."
The men who advocated the gold stand
ard the Senator described as "no better
than a vile thief."
The argument by which he led up to
this conclusion is interesting. The Sen
ator said that in 1S05 the national debt
"amounted to $2,820,839,000." He show
ed "how many bales of cotton would have
paid this debt then and how many now."
Then he proceeded:
"The men who- took the bonds then
gave greenbacks worth about 50c in gold.
Now they are paid in gold, thus doubling
the burden upon the people. While 18,-
uuu.uuu Dales of cotton would have paid
the debt when it was contracted, it would
take 30,000,000 bales now to pay it, with
out interest." Senator Jones said "that
he who undertook to make the people pay
more than they had contracted to pay
was no better than a vile thief."
"The rich Northern States," the Sen
ator said, "yet after this sort of a contest
Bryan received more than a million votes
in excess of what Cleveland received in
1S92. He believed devoutly that Bryan
had been elected and was swindled out
of the presidency. He told how the rail
roads, the banks and the bondholders, ar
rayed against Bryan with a campaign
fund the like of which was never before
seen in this country, and which was used
lavishly. Business men were intimidat
ed by the threats of the money power.
The Senator said, with great pride, he
would never forget the liberal responses
from the people of Arkansas to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund."
Predicting that the Republican party
would drop the idea of the gold standard
and endeavor to bring about bimetallism,
the Senator said "the McKinleyites saw
the handwriting on the wall."
"What has become of the promised
prosperity?" the Senator asked.
"Mr. McKinley seems to be advanc
ing, but the prosperity is not coming
with him." Senator Jones said "the gold
ites had been put on notice." He believ
ed "that in 1900 the bimetallic forces
would win a great victory. Rising prices
always bring prosperity, declining prices
adversity. The repeal of the Sherman
act had been followed by a decline of 10
per cent in prices. The cause of it was
the striking down of one-half of the
metallic money of the world." Senator
Jones concluded by asserting his belief
"that the principles he spoke for were
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
country."
Ta the midst of the enunciation of such
views as these the Senator accounted for
the election of the Republican ticket by
declaring:
"HUXDERDS OF THOUSANDS OF
IGNORANT FOREIGNERS, WHO
ARE HERE TAKING THE BREAD
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF HONEST
LABOR, VOTED AT THE LAST
ELECTION AT THE DICTATION
OF M'KINLEY'S SUPPORTERS.
THESE FOREIGNERS COMPRISED
ONE-HALF OF THE NUMBER OF
VOTES RECEIVED BY M'KINLEY."
On the day after delivery the Sena
tor's speech was reported in Arkansas
Gazette, the principal Democratic paper
of the State and the organ of the Demo
cratic party. From that report, the ac
curacy of which, has never been ques
tioned by the Senator, the above is
taken.
VOTERS
DEMOCRATS UNFIT TO GOVERN.
Why Ex-Senator W. A. Peffer la Sop
porting McKinley.
In a published letter issued at Topeka,
Kan., ex-U. S. Senator Peffer of that
State says one of the principal reasons
why he leaves the Demo-Populist party
is that it is not fit to govern the coun
try. His exact words are:
"The Democratic party is not fit to
govern this country under modern condi
tions of universal freedom. Look back
upon the second administration of Presi
dent Cleveland. Upward of $2.)0,000,000
in United States bonds were sold with
out special authority of Congress to pro
cure gold for the redemption reserve.
Most of the bonds were sold to or through
syndicates of speculators at enormous
profits.
"The Republicans were wiser. The
war with Spain made large expenditures
necessary; Congress authorized the bor
rowing of money, and $200,000,000 of 3
per cent bonds were sold to our own peo
ple in sums of $23 to $r00. This is the
fourth year of the McKinley administra
tion, and not one dollar of gold has been
bought or borrowed. The treasury now
holds nearly, if not quite, $450,000,000
in gold coin and bullion, and there is
plenty of money in the country for the
transaction of the people's business."
On the Philippine question Mr. Peffer
says: "The insurrection of Aguinaldo and
his followers must be completely and per
manently suppressed liefore civil govern
ment can be permanently established. In
the meantime the President is exerting
every effort to preserve order and protect
all peaceably disposed persons.
"As before stated when one sovereign
power cedes territory to another, the al
legiance of the inhabitants is transferred
to the new sovereign. 'The same act
which transfers their country transfers
the allegiance of those who remain in it.'
That is the language of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case of
the American Insurance Company vs.
Canter, 1 Peters, 511.
Our national title to the Philippines
is as good in law as the titles we hold
for our homes; and the allegiance of the
Filipinos to the United States is dne the
same as that of the people of Alaska or
Hawaii or New Mexico. Arizona or Okla-
noma.
A commission of able and conscien
tious men, headed by Judge Taft of Ohio,
an eminent jurist, is now at work in the
Philippines, opening the way for free
government and collecting information
for the use of Congress when that bodv
i takes np the work of determining the
civil rights and political status of the
native inhabitants,' as provided in the
treaty.
"We got into the Philippines as an in
cident of war. We are holding them be
cause, after due deliberation, the Ameri
can people concluded that that was the
best thing to do for the Filipinos and for
ourselves."
BRYAN'S THEORIES
AND PRACTICES.
Shouting About the Consent of
the Governed.
Bryan's Utterances Wholly Inconsistent
with the Practice of Democrats, Who
Have Invariably Suppressed
the Colored Vote
The verification of theory Is practice,
ths test of sincerity is conduct. hen a
person or a party preaches one thing and
practices another, there is no excuse for
being deceived as to his honesty. Four
years ago when Mr. Bryan captured the
Chicago convention by his eloquent "cross
and crown" speech on the free coinage
of silver, there was plenty of room for
doubting the soundness or even the sanity
of his proposition, but it was difficult to
question his sincerity or the sincerity of
the party which nominated him. How
ever bad their logic, their theory accord
ed with their practice. The party as
then organized, so far as it had the pow
er had practiced what it was then preach
ing.
The Southern States are the backbone
and body of the Democratic party in
practice. They are the States where
the party is most completely devoted to
Mr. Bryan and his doctrine, and they are
also the States where the party is and
has always been in most supreme control.
It is in these States, therefore, that we
must look for the practice verifying par
ty principles. These States were the
home of the greenback movement, of the
wildcat banks, and they were and are
the hotbed of free silver; therefore in
advocating 10 to 1, Government paper
money and the overthrow of the national
banks, Mr. Bryan is entirely consistent
with the practice of his party as at pres
ent organized.
In his speech accepting the nomination
for President, at Indianapolis, however,
he preaches a new gospel for Democ
racy. It is not money and banking this
time, but it is "Liberty," the "consent
of the governed," and "equal political
rights," regardless of race, etc. Here
are a few extracts. How do these pro
fessions accord with Democratic prac
tice, where its control is supreme?

ouent utterances and the thirty years
practice of his party conclusively demon
strates one of two things: either that
Mr. Bryan is insincere and is merely us
ing these "liberty phrases" to catch
votes where political rights are more ad

tention of practicing these "golden pre

platforms and candidates speeches, may
properly be taken as only so much mate
rial for political deception.
It is not a question of whether the en

doctrine that the "Creator never denied
to any race of people the capacity of

Some of the Democrats in the South
who are more frank and honest than Mr
Bryan, are already repudiating any pre
tense of seriously living up to his ethe
real political declarations. The Macon
Ga., Telegraph, for instance, frankly de
clares Its unwillingness to take Mr. Bry
an seriously in this "consent of the gov
erned talk and says:
"It is all sweet and nice enough to indulge
on fourth or July occasions in the generall
ties about the "consent of the iroverned.
about 'Inalienable right.' about the equality
of all men at birth, and so forth. Just as our
forefathers did who owned slaves and who
robbed the Indians of their land, but It Is

Filipino. We of the South are contending

The Macon Telegraph, with real South
ern frankness, tells the simple truth
about the Democratic position on this
subject. Its statement is supported by
both the theory and practice of the party
wherever it is in power. Moreover the
Democratic party has never been dishon
est enough to pretend to believe in the po
litical enfranchisement of the inferior
races, and Mr. Bryan's sudden admira
tion of Lincoln and advocacy of Garri-
sonian principles is a personal flight in
political oratory, which has no relation
to the past practice or future intention of
the present Democratic party. If Mr.
Bryan should be elected the otlices would
be filled and the Government conducted
by people who, like the Macon Telegraph,
jeer at these "equality phrases" as empty
generalities. They evidently regard these
utterances as so much verbal bait for
new votes in the "enemy's country." But
here Mr. Bryan's cunning is not as wise
as the Telegraph s frankness. Honesty
is always respected and such cheap cun
ning as Mr. Bryan's Indianapolis speech
reveals will fail to deceive. The Ameri
can citizens are not ignorant r mpinos,
they are too well informed on the policy
and practice of the Democracy on this
subject to be canght by Mr. Bryan's
rhetorical if not hypocritical phrases. The
name of "Lincoln" and "political liberty"
are too sacred to be flippantly used in
such a cause. The American people have
some sense of the fitness of things.
HALUCI NATIONS, HOBGOBLINS.
Senator Stewart Tells What Alia tbe
Nebraska Colonel.
Senator Stewart of Nevada, the stal
wart silver leader, will vote and work for
McKinley this year. He is tired of Bry
an and Bryanism and here is why he has
left the Popocrat fold:
"Mr. Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form and his insistence on the adoption
of that platform at Kansas City," said
Senator Stewart, "induced the people to
suppose the campaign of 1!KHJ would be
conducted on the issues of lS'.'G. In this
way they were mistaken. An hallucina
tion induced Bryan to make war on an
army or ghosts and hobgoblins, wnicn a
diseased brain created. His instinct,
which has formerly led him to consider
realities, departed. He sought his closet
in pursuit of phantoms, and strung to-
ether ten thousand words, which he
gave to the public at Indianapolis. He
omitted all mention of the issues of 1SU0
and summarized the paramount issue of
the present campaign iu a pledge to the
Tagal Guerrillas."
Whatever the direct result of Senator
Stewart's secession from the fusion alli
ance in Nevada, the rapid spread of the
Western revolt against Col. Bryan's In
dianapolis program introduces an element
of doubt into the canvass in Nevada,
(Colorado, Montana. Idaho and Utah
which was wholly lacking four years
ago. Put on the defensive in one and
all these former strongholds by an at
tempted change of issues, and gaining
no material strength elsewhere by the
sudden about 'ace of his acceptance
speech, it is easy to see the stamp of
genuine inspiration on Mr. Stewart's
prophecy that the Nebraska lender's pres
ent "anti-imperialistic" canvass is doom
ed to defeat.

its own interests at home and abroad.

throwing these two countries between
