bleeding where it had been cut by a
oayonet used to hold the mouth open,
and his face bruised where he had
been struck by the Maccabebes. Add to
this the exprersicn of his face, and
bis evident weakness from the torture,
and you have a picture which, once
seen, will not be forgotten. I am not
chicken-hearted, but thi3 policy hurts
us. Summary executions are, and will
be. necessary in a troubled country,
and I have no objection to seeing that
they are carried out; but I am not
ued to torture. The Spaniards used
the torture of water, througnout the
island?, as a means of obtaining in
formation; but they used it sparingly,
and only when it appeared evident that
the victim was culpable. Americans
seldom do things by halves. We come
here and announce our intention of
freeing the people from three or four
hundred years of oppression, and say,
'We are strong, and powerful, and
grand. Then to resort to inquisitorial
methods, and use them without dis
crimination, is unworthy of us, and
will recoil on us as a nation.'
"It is painful and humiliating to
have to confess that in tome of our
dealings with the Filipinos we seem
to be following more or less closely
the example of Spain. We have estab
lished a penal colony; we burn native
villages near which there has been an
ambush or an attack by insurgent
guerrillas; we kill the wounded; we
resort to torture as a means of ob
taining information; and in private
letters from two officers of the regular
army in the Philippines I And the pre
diction that in certain provinces we
shall probably have to resort to the
method of reconcentratlon practiced by
General Weyler in Cuba."
Here is the testimony of an army
officer establishing the f.ct that Mc
Kinley's policy in the Philippines is
more cruel than that of the Spaniards.
He is even more cruel than Weyler
against whose inhumanities we went
to w ar. Remember that this testimony
is published in an imperialist maga
zine that has supported McKinley and
the policy of imperialism from the
very beginning. It is not the slander
of an opposition journal. The worst
of the whole business is that it Is to
go on for years. In regard to "pacify
ing" the islands Mr. Kennan calls at
tention to the fact that:
"The Seminole Indians, although
thejr numbered only about four thou
sand, resisted the forces of the United
States for a period of Beven or eight
year?, and their complete subjugation
tost hundreds of lives and 110,000,000
in treasure. The Dutch, in Sumatra,
have been fighting the Atchinese a
Malayan people ever since 1873, and
in the attempt to subdue and pacify
them have sacrificed thousands of lives
and more than $100,000,000 in money.
There has been an annual deficit in
the insular budget every year 6ince
1S78. and in 1899 the revenues of the
Island were only $53,568,000, while the
expenditures, including colonial ad
ministration and the cost of military
operations, were $"i8,310.000."
Mr. Kennan adds to this the testi
mony of General MacArthur as given
In one of the general's official reports.
There ia no equivocation about these
words, for General MacArthur says:
"For the present and for many years
to come, the necessity of a large Am
erican military and naval force is .too
apparent to admit of discussion."
Look at the picture! Torture the
living; butcher the wounded; with un
known years of war to come and the
old degenerate fitting ia the White
house and with a simpering smile call
ing It all "benevolent assimilation!"
Was there anything more revolting

INFAMY VS. HONOR
Ltmbtrtion Repudiates Honor and Ad
vocates Infamy in a Public Ad
dress at Omaha.
At a meeting of the Commercial club
of Omaha to give a reception to Gen
era! Fltzhugh Lee, G. M. Lambertson
of Lincoln made an address in which
he publicly advocated the violation of
the pledged faith and most solemn
promises made both by the congress
of the United States and the republi
can party in its national platform. The
honor of the United States was
pledged, not to Cuba, but to the world
in the following language:
"The United States hereby disclaims
any disposition or intention to exer
cise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con
trol over said island except for the
pacification thereof, and asserts its de
termination, when that is accom
plished, to leave the government and
control of the island to its people."
The republican platform says:
"To Cuba, Independence and self-
government were assured in the same
voice by which war was declared, and
to the letter this pledge shall be per
formed." Now Mr. Lambertson appears before
the Commercial club of Omaha and
publicly declares:
"Our mission in Cuba is to stay
there."
This public advocacy of national in
famy brought forth a rejoinder from
another speaker who was present on
that occasion. The Rev. E. F. Trefz,
whose indignation was aroused by the
advocacy of a proposition so base and
vile, replied:
"To you, sir, who counsel the re
tention of Cuba despite our solemn
declaration to the contrary, let me say
that while there is no treaty to this
effect with Cuba and while no promise
was made to the people of that island,
the declaration is the more binding
because it was made to all the world.
It matters not whether that declara
tion was a mistake. It matters not
whether it was given in an impas
sioned moment when reason came to
whitest heat under the banner of sym
pathy and justice, emitting the glow
of inspired love and defense of right
and truth. That declaration was made
by a nation that holds honor dearer
than advantage, and men higher than
gold, and its promise is as sacred as
the promise of its God.
"Violate it if you will and you make
Washington's memory a travesty and
heap upon him shame ana execration.
Violate it if you will, and you take the
crown from Lincoln's brow and place
upon him the nightshade's wreath of
blasting dishonor. Violate it if you
will and you dethrone American man
hood to cast it into the mire of cor
ruption and destroying . selfishness;
and degrade our glorious ideals to the
level of the cruel debauchery of the
Latin race.
"That declaration sprang from a
reasonableness and impulse as unsul
lied as the field of blue upon which
the stars of state stand watch in un
faltering devotion. That declaration
shall stand, immovable as the moun
tains and unsullied as the honor of our
flag, until the people of Cuba shall
plead for its withdrawal. It shall
stand, and stand it must, to tell the
world that this nation is great enough
to keep its solemn promise, even
though they be to her own hurt."
The people of littlo Cuba, with only
1,606,000 Inhabitants, as they look at
rheir island garrisoned - all over with
United States troops, their revenues
collected . and expended by foreigners,
and 76,000,000 people, many of whose
leaders are openly advocating the vil
est treachery, stand aghast. ' What
they say ... is . most pathetic. General
Gomez appeals to them in these
words:
"Let U3 be free, hut let us avoid
furnishing the slightest pretext for
the unhealthy imperialism which is
corrupting the blood of a generous
people and inciting them to trample
upon our rights. Let us still have faith
in the justice of our cause and in the
honor of the country which produced
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln."
The dispatches say that all politi
cal demonstrations have ended. The
people are posting everywhere great
placards with these words from Wash
ington printed on them:
"To the People of the United States:
Do not make any promises that you
are not sure to keep and never go back
on the word you have given. (Signed)
" GEORGE WASHINGTON.' "
The villain in the White house cares
not for the words, of Washington. He
cares not for honor. He cares not for
the rights of men. Unless there is a
general protest sent up from the hon
est men of this nation from men who
love truth better than gold he will
go right on violating the sacred
pledges of his own party and of the
whole nation. He means to make Cu
ba a subject nation.
In the old days there were men In
these United States who would eat no
sugar because it was produced by
slave labor. They would risk their
lives and their property for the liberty
of a single black slave. What man
ner of men are their sons? In the old
days we had a Beecher in the pulpit,
a Wendell Philipps on the platform
and a Horace Greeley in the editorial
chair. Where are their successors?
A Buchanan in the White house was
an angel of light beside this white
livered hypocrite who now seeks not
only to make subjects of the Filipinos,
but to bring eternal disgrace upon this
nation by violating its most sacred
honor.
"Hiking" in Luzon
The following extract is from a let
ter from Sylvester Draper, a soldier
in the Philippines, written to his
mother under date of Naggarlan, P.
I., Dec. 25, 1900, and printed in the
Chase County Tribune:
"We are camping away out here in
the jungle about 15 miles from our
base of supplies. We get a wagon
train once a week some weeks and
then we have to hike down after it
one day, and as the road is nothing
but a mass of mud we usually get up
here in two days ana next day take
it back again, so when I tell you it
rains every day you may judge that
it is no snap escorting wagons when
you have to lie down in the pxud to
sleep at night with no supper and no
covering. Then you get up in the
morning so full of fever that you can
hardly stand, start out without any
breakfast and lift wagons through
mud holes up to your neck, subject at
all times to an attack from the nig
gers. A man has to have a consti
tution like an army mule to live
through it. A few weeks ago we car
ried a man down on a litter. He had
the dysentery and had it bad. Not a
man murmured, but the Lord deliver
me from such again. The poor fel
low died a few days ago, his hiking
after niggers is over. "
"Show father this letter for I wish
him to know the true state of affairs
over here. He had one consolation
while fighting In the civil war. He was
fighting for the honor of his country
and the glory of the flag, while we
are fighting for the selfish avarice and
licentious greed of the republican ad
ministration. DR. BULL'S COUGH SYRUP IS THE

SUGAR TRUST ORDERS
Some Startling Statements bj Men Who
Helped to Make the Villain of the
Ages Emperor of the
Fhilippines. .
"The control of all national legisla
tion by the sugar trust is so great that
it will soon become useless for any
one person to go to Washington until
he has called upon the officials of the
sugar trust and ascertained whether
his wants are approved by them or
not." W. I. Saunders, vice president
of the Ingersoll Manufacturing com
pany, of which ex-Mayor W. R. Grace
is the head, and the spokesman of the
National Manufacturers' association
of the United States.. . . . : :
vNew York, Feb. 18, I901.Hon. Ly
man J. Gage, Secretary of the Treas
ury, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The
exalted position which you occupy as
the representative of. this administra
tion and a servant of the people, acting
in a matter of great importance to the
business interests of this country, is
my excuse for addressing you.
You knew when you ordered that
the countervailing duty te reimposed
on sugar imported from Russia that
the Russian government had officially
stated that no bounty was paid. You
knew that Russian sugar was taxed
an import duty of about 100 per cent
and that American products were ad
mitted to Russia free of duty in Si
berian ports and at minimum rates
elsewhere. You knew that the value of
Russian sugar to the United States
was 1340,815 in 1899 and $22,993 in
1900 and that Russian imports from
this country in 1900 were valued at
$10,029,793.
You know that a commercial treaty
between Russia and the United States
by the terms of which great and val
uable tariff concessions were made to
American manufacturers was pending
in the state department and that the
administration which you represent
had through its authorized agent com
mitted itself to this proposed treaty,
and that after it had been approved
by the Russian cabinet further action,
had been postponed pending the re
cent elections.
You know that American manufac
turers, through the National associa
tion and by individual effort, urged
delay and investigation of the facts
lest the gates or the valuable market
be closed.
You told me in your office that no
one representing this government had
gone into Russia to investigate the
facts; that the whole question was one
of facts and law; that no one need
be alarmed, as "ample warning would
be given;" that you would consider
a brief from the manufacturers on the
subject, and that there was "plenty of
time;" that you would give serious at
tention to the suggestion which I
made; that the question of fact would
be investigated by a commission; that
you realized the seriousness of the sit
uation, and did not like the responsi
bility which bore upon you. This con
versation took place only a few days
before you issued a revolutionary or
der imposing the countervailing duty.
Your excuse appears to be that you
have discovered that the question can
be reviewed by the courts.
But the mischief has been done, and
you, sir, are responsible for it. Know
ing your high reputation the convic
tion forces itself upon us that you
have suddenly shifted to a course
which enables you to evade a great re
sponsibility. When a wise man does
not know what to do he does nothing.
We only asked you for delay until the
atmosphere of doubt could be cleared
by the truth.
By this act you have placed a brake
upon the wheels of commerce which
are now going round at a rate of speed
which has astonished the world. Do
you forget the record of the past?
Overproduction is sure to reap the dis
ease of congestion and ruin unless
doors are opened to distant ports. You
have shut these doors with a bang.
You have rejected the hand of Rus
sia which was extended in friendship,
and it is now raised against us.
At whose bidding has this precipi
tate step been taken? Is this sugar in
fant so helpless that our manufactur
ing interests must be sacrificed to give
it life? Is our emblem of liberty to
face the world a Laocoon in the toils
of a serpent trust?
I am, dear sir, with great respect,
yours, W. I. SAUNDERS.
At present the people of the United
States pay about $100,000,000 more
every year for sugar than if sugar was
on the free list. The trust thus created
issues orders to the Unitf States gov
ernment which are always instantly
obeyed even if obedience to the orders
ruins countless other industries.
Webster Davis1 Book
A dispatch from Kansas City says
that Webster Davis has just finished
a book on the Boer war. It is to be
translated into the French, German,
Russian and Dutch languages and pub
lished in foreign lands and in Ameri
ca. The book was begun by Mr. Davis
a few weeks after he joined the demo
cratic party, when he made his fam
ous speech in Convention hall imme
diately after the reading by Senator
Tillman of the platform In which he
commended the party for the adoption
of the pro-Boer resolution. He had
only commenced, however, when he
was invited by the democratic national
committee to make campaign speeches.
In his introduction Mr. Davis explains
that he went to Sou- . Africa solely
because he needed a sea voyage.
In the Transvaal, he says, he be
came convinced that the Boers were
a grievously wronged . people, and he
determined to help them.
Small Homes
In the irrigation debate in the house
of representatives Representative Bell
of Colorado stated that he had served
on a special committee which went to
the arid west to investigate conditions
of labor and capital, and that thay
found in Utah the best labor condi
tions of anywhere in the Lnited States.
"Why," he says, "did we find there
the best condition of l.-bor? The rea
son given was that the men employed
in the coal mines and in the metallifer
ous mines and everywhere else had
small homes on this irrigated land,
and whenever there was a shortage of
work the miners of Utah went to their
little homes and cultivated their land.
A family can raise more on one acre
of good fertile irrigated land, in my
judgment, than can be raised on an
average of three or four acres in the
eastern states. This condition quad
ruples the inducement for laboring
men to make homes on this land, and
causes them to take a lively interest
in their reclamation." ,
Depopulating India
The census returns show the city of
Bombay has 770,000 inhabitants, a de
crease of over 50,000 . in ten years,
mainly due to the exodus of the past
two months on account of the plague.
Partial returns from the rural dis
tricts show terrible decreases in pop
ulation through famine. The popula
tion of Mankantha has declined 22,000,
Bijapore bj.,000 and Poona City 7,400.
