My friend, the rerubllcan farmer alrve spoken of. and thousands of oth?r are honestly tai.st:;keo in an other thins- They are mistaken in sup poring that the afotej.-.iHi great p'in eiple have been or ran be srpp'anted by anything or thing better. The sub stitute that the McKii iey administra tion ek to interpose for them is im perialism, "the ?ov?mment of other peoples as eolonie wlthoct their con sent. A famous example of the results of thijr kind of government is seen In the long continued miserable existence of India under th) imperial rule of the Britih government. If cur forefathers bad not risen up and proclaimed the aforesaid sreat principles of liberty and foueht them ovt in the roost bloody desperation as they did., this country would now be under the same miserable subjection to British, colon ial rule aa India is. And one example by proximity to Canada has saved that f country also from the depth of degrad- ation to which India is sunken. i The Kilioinos are now encaged in a nioht desperate struggle for the same principle for which 0-1 r forefathers fought, the same exactly that I men tioned to ray friend, the republican farmer. The Filipino- have the intel ligence to know that iny administra tion of government that will follow them up with such savage and bloody ferocity for the sake cf ruling them as is being done by this administration, would rob them Into the condition of dependent bondsmen if they should surrender. The world never beheld a tuhlimer spectacle of courage, deter mination and endurance against enor mous odds than the Filipinos at pres ent. I'reident McKinley mi his late let ter of acceptance of renomination says: "It will be reen tbxt the. power of the Rovernment has been used for the liberty, the peace and the prosperity of the Philippine peoples, and that force has been employed only against force which stood in the way of the realization of these ends." Look at it! Did any hypocrisy be fore God and man ever equal this? For the one purpose of doing the Phil ippine peoples good, this administj-a-' tion kills some 20,000 of them, keeps that country under the desolation of a mort terrible war two years, sacrifices the lives of some thousands of our own soldiers. taxs our own people some hundreds of millions of dollars, and is going to make further sacri fices of all those kinds to an unknown amount just to do the Filipinos good as the president claims. And worse than all that by far in order to work out the administration scheme we roust nullify the cardinal principles of o-jr Declaration of InMcpendence. and its ratification by the 'Lincoln republi can platform of May 1. 1860. and trau&cend all the powers given in the constitution of the United States. Our forefathers lifted up a great ensign to all th world that it is unjust to unbject any people to a government the powTB of which are not derived firm the consent of -he governed. In order to do the Filipinos good, accord ing to administration ideas of what is or their, good, this great ensign must be demolished. In discussing this s-iiiject there is r.t use cf ?aying anything alxn-.t the Fpanibb-American treaty. The Fili pinos were no party to that and can not be in the least afft-cted by it. They know this, and in all things appear to be well qualified for wlf-government. Se- again the quotation from McKin ley s letter. The goo I that he wants to do to the Filipinos is to give them liberty, pace and prosperity. To all appearance they are fully competent to take ail thciie things to themselves if let alone. But whether they are or not, is nc business of this government of ours, unless made ro by their con sent, given freely and not exacted by force. How c?n a people have their liberty when under a government dic tated and enforced upon them without their peaceful consent? It is nonsense to talk about making war upon a peo ple to enforce upon th'-ia tneir liberty. McKiniey's letter )f acceptance is very lengthy. 1 hae studied it all.

Two-thirds of it. is occupied in defend ing his doings at th.j Philippines. In this he makes a clear case against himself. He discloses the fact that from first to last, even before the Spanish-American treaty was made, and before the surrender of Manila by the Spaniards, he. McKinley, had no tice from the Filipino leaders that the Filipinos intended to govern their own country even if it had to be done at the eobt of war with the United States. He says substantially that he was op posed by only a few cf the Filipinos, and if he abandons the contest those few will rule the country and tyranize over the majority. This is untrue upon its face. It is plain that the Filipinos were and are united against him. else they could not have made any such resistance as they have. And it is reasonable to suppose that when McKinley gets away with his force work the Filipinos will be united in building up their country mightily. All this effort of the administration to enter upon colonial rule is exceed ingly expensive to our own people, is outside of the constitution and in vio lation thereof .and tends to substitute imperial power in place of our home republican government. It is rank usurpation and revolutionary in its nature. It is a false pretense to say as Mr. McKinley does that its object is to give liberty, peace and prosperity to any people. Its object is to gain opportunities for the establishment of devices beneficial to the great olig archs of wealth by increase of the burdens of common !abor. Born of the san.e spirit and purpose is the oppression of the Porto Ricans, holding them aloof from statehood, and the long postponement of Cuban independence. ' M. WARREN. Fairbury, Neb. "The. Romans occupied Great Brit ain, and they occupied it hard upon four centuries, holding the people in 'tutelage,' and protecting them against themselves, as well as against their enemies. With what result? . As nearly as can be historically stated, it took eight centuries for the people of England to overcome the injurious influence of four centuries of just such, a. system as is now proposed by us to inflict : on the Philippines." Hon. Charles Francis Adams. "We can give the Malays and Ne gritos and Chinese nothing that we do not possess ourselves. The first shot fired by American soldiers at a peo ple fighting for their independence, will be another "shot heard around the world." and will be a shot fired under the American flag against all that for wrhich the flag Stands. Let us, by some unequivocal declaration, show to ; the world, that we still possess, not only the spirit of 76, but the spirit of the first Christian message: 'Peace on earth, good will to men.' Rev. William H. P. Faunce. Still They Gome ! in one nreeinet in (iaee eountv tne poll returned showed that out of forty Germans in the precinct who had voted for McKinley in 1896 thirty-six would vote for Bryan this year. This report was of such a character as to excite disbelief at headquarters, and an agent of the committee was sent down to investigate. He corroborated the poll in every particular. This ex traordinary condition is simply cited to show the quiet changes that are going on." Chairman Edmisten. Northwest For Bryan One of the oldest travelling men on the road, who was at the Windsor ho tel yesterday, gave it as his opinion that Bryan would carry.' not only those states which are generally ac credited to the silver forces, but also Wisconsin. Minnesota and Indiana. He .was certain that the city, of Chicago would give Bryan a handsome major ity, but possibly not sufficient to off set the republican vote in the re mainder pf Illinois. "I have been pretty well over Wis consin and Minnesota," said J. R. Whiteside of Memphis, who travels through all of .the middle western states, and I am convinced that the Germans of Wisconsin and the Scan dinavians of Minnesota will vote for Bryan in such numbers that the elec toral votes of the two states will go in the silver column. "The sentiment is remarkable. I met many prominent men who ad mitted that the state would go to Bryan. Among them were two gov ernment officials whom I encouraged on my way to Chicago from Milwau kee. They were not in favor of him. as might be imagined, for they were mourning the fact that he would carry Wisconsin. "You will find that the Scandinav ians of Minnesota will stand with the democratic nominee for governor, John Lind. He will come very near carrying the presidential electors along with him to victory. Indiana will show this time that she is a democratic state. I have been over it and it seems to me that the sentiment in favor of Bryan is very strong. I am doubtful of Kansas and of Illinois. "The commercial travellers are largely for Bryan. Those men who have been thrown out of their places by the organization of trusts are vig orously for him. Others who see the drift of affairs will vote for him. but as many of them work for republican houses they do not think it well to air their opinions." "A year ago no one would have ad vocated our seeking to buy the Phil ippines at any price. I see no occasion now for our holding permanently by conquest what we should never have cared to acquire by purchase." Sim eon E. Baldwin. "Let us face the facts and the un derlying problem. We speak with contempt of the Spanish title to the islands. What other title can we ac quire by conquest? Next we must govern, either with or without the consent of the people. If with their consent, it must be expressed through republican forms; that is by suffrage. Is there a man in America who wishes those seven millions of Malays, Ne gritos and Chinamen, for fellow-citizens and joint rulers of this republic? But if we govern them without their consent, it must be by military occupa tion by force; that is, by the Span ish method, though 'we shall not copy tho Spanish cruelty. There is no third possibility; we must set up our home form of government state or terri torial or we must have a governor general, backed by soldiers, and sup ported by a navy much more powerful than would be required for a mere protectorate, which does not require annexation or control." Rev. Charles G. Ames. For Debt and Armies Editor Independent I have been studying the platforms of the differ ent parties and have come to the con clusion that the platforms of the democratic and the ' populist parties are based on the Declaration of Inde pendence, while that of the republi cans leads to war and an increase ol the national . debt, for war tends to debt. Those who oppose Bryan are not in favor of paying the national debt. G. L. BURGESS. Julian, Neb.

Wyo.. Sept. 21. After making careful polls cf the state to determine its political status in the impending campaign, the republican managers have become thoroughly alarmed. The canvass was made through the local committees in the different counties, an.l these were aid ed by state and federal officers from Cheyenne who were sent over the state to arouse. the local workers and disburse the necessary expenses con nected with the work. The first polis of the political pref erences of Wyoming's voting popula tion showed a good majority for the democratic ticket. This was unsatis factory to Senator Warren. Accord ingly a new canvass of the state was ordered, and a closer and more care ful count made. This, under the whip and spur of the state committee, made a little better showing, but fetill the balance was on the wrong side for the g. o. p.. and the whole combination has been in a state of panic ever since. Every effort is being put forth to save the state to Hanna and Warren. A large sum has been appropriated by the national committee for this pur pose. It is understood the first in stallment of the Wyoming fund al ready paid in is $75.00 and that more will follow. . Sadie Pucket, milliner, removed from 1301 O street to 124 South 12th street.
