Can our laboring men compete with those pople who wear very few . clothes and eat very little food? Would it be a profit or a detriment to our country to compete with this people? We could not make them pay a duty for if we did it would be imperaalism, und if we are going to practice that why not give them back to Bpaiu? They were fighting for the same thing our fore -fathers were arid If we taxed them we might have another Boston Tea Tarty. We cannot say that we are annexing them for territory for their population is about 70 to the square mile and our owu is only 20. Some will say that we have got them and what will we do wit h them. What did we start out to do? Did we start out to annex the Philip pines? No! We started out to free Cuba. Wo have done what we started out to do; now lot ns stop. We do not need to turn then Islands bank to Hpaln, but we can turn them over to the people and let them establish their own gov ernment. While they are establishing their government lot ns protect them end see that they get started along the right line. Nkw I'ov.

They advocate theories that are antagonistic to the popu.i, party. They denounce the populist party and fight it.

The editor of the Nebraska Inde pendent speaking of the silk-ribbed paper money, not based on coin, re deemable in government dues and full legal tender, advocated as the ideal money, by the lute Win, P. St, John of New York City, snys he does not ex pect td live to see this kind of money yet it may come soner than any of lis expect. The editor of the Indepen dent expects a free silver victory soon. He may be correct in his opinion that free silver will come lmfom 1h money of intelligence and the money advo cated by St. John, but we doubt it. The facts is you cannot convert a man to fiw silver until you convert him to flat money. We hear democrats of nil sorts saying: "If free silver right you fellowa (meaning anti-metal, lie basis advocates) are right, but they don't say that we are right and while they vote the democratic ticket on the silver isue, it would take very little argument from the leading men of the party to get them to vote the demo cratic ticket without any free silver In it. You can take a man who has not studied the money question and argue with him until doomsday in fa vor of free silver t.nd the specie basis ami if be gets no other light on the subject be will lieu-r Olidelalaikd what money is, ami wilt never be an Inte l-if-cut convert to free silver.
