The Distinguished Rough Rider to Spend a Week Cam paigning In Nebraska. Control of the Philippine Wands an Important Factor in American Trade in the Orient. | State I nut it ut Ions Converted Iufco Asylums lw Broken llunn Party Satellites and Incompetent*. Omaha, .Tnly i'.’, —It is definitely settled thut Theodore Roosevelt will pay Nebraska a visit during the pending campaign. This statement is made on the authority of Chair man Lindsay of the state central com mittee, who says that Governor Roose velt will devote at least a week to the campaign in Nebraska. It will bo a great treat to the people of Nebraska to see, not only the next vice president of the United States, but one of the foremost scholars and statesmen of the nation—a man of high distiiiguishineut in civil and military life. The exact time Governor Roosevelt will be here has not, as yet, been determined. The list of speakers for the campaign will contain among others th names of many noted statesmen and orators, the object being to so present the evidence that the verdict rendered in the high court of pulilit opinion shall be based on an intelligent understanding. It never has been, and is not now, the desire of the Republican party to acquire public stewardship by false pretenses. More than once the Republican party has re sisted supposedly popular vagaries in the face of a popular demand for their adoption, because it was confident that it was right and that the vagaries were not alone wrong, but fraught with great public danger. It is the party that struck the chains of slavery from the black man when more than half of the nation opposed it. It is the party that disciplined a dis obedient and rebellious confederacy and established forever the unity of the re public while all the world looked ou in amazement. It is the party that for 40 years lias maintained an industrial policy which distinguishes American labor from that of all the rest of the world, mid which has elevated it to a standard unequaled in the history of civilized nations. For 40 years the Republican party has stood guard at the doorway of labor, repuls ing again and again the attacks of Democratic free trade. Defeated in their repeated efforts to bring American labor to a level with the pauper labor of Europe, the fusioulsts have adopted a new scheme aud that is to lure labor away from its safe moorings through alluring promises contingent upon a change in the monetary system. It isn't free trade now, though the fusiouists Hre just us much for free trade now as they ever were, it is free silver. One is fraught with as much distress to the American people as the other. Neither can be adopted with out being attended by inconceivable disaster. The Republican party believes in a free people, free homes and free government—it does not believe in free trade or free silver. Expansion* The Republican party believes m ex pausiou. It believes in extending the benefit* of free citizenship and self government to every possible clime. It believes in progress in commercial and territorial expansion, to the end that all may bo benefited und the world in gen eral brought under the benign influence of Christianity and intelligence. The history of the United States is a history of expansion—expansion in ter ritory, as well as in trade, art, science, and literature. Expansion upon any pretext was until recently opposed by the fusionists. They charged that tho Republicans were imperialistic when they declared in favor of territorial ex pansion. They have, in a degree, since changed their orthodoxy. The Demo cratic national convention at Kansas City which bundled the expansion question with such passive delicacy was held in territory acquired by expansion. The site of Kansas City is part of the Louisiana purchase. Nebraska, tho home of W. J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for president, was Spanish territory when Jefferson was made president. Nearly 800 members of the Kansas City convention came from ter ritory acquired through expansion. More than 40 of the delegates came from territory annexed in consequence of the war with Mexico. Minnesota, Mon tana, Missouri, Nebraska. Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Isiuuiaua. Nor lb and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and part of Colorado, had Inn votes in the convention, and expansion re Banned this territory from S|Nitiinh dominion less than 100 years ago.

Th»-<» island# had f r two hundr .1 y< nt< <-n Ultd< r the sov- i igutv . i Spain and fur all «>t' that time had felt and • xpcrienc’-d all the iniquities t f monarchical rule. When the hand of President MoKiub y was raised aguins- Spanish atr itu - in Cuba and tho Philippines, it was not for the purpose of acquiring new p< >s sessions in the Ortent. Naval an 1 mili tary strategy alone directed movement toward tho Philippines, and thoso waters were invaded with no other object in view than tho dcstrwrtiun or capture of tlie Spanish squadron. fcot until tho treaty of Pans was entered into did tho United States undertake to ex*rcis( control over tho Philippines. This treaty passed sovereignty o#-r these islands trout Spain to the United States, and it is a forcible reminder to Bryan and those fusionists who nro finding fault with the McKinley ad ministration for attempting to restore law and order in the Philippines, that this very obligation, this very duty, is the result of Senator Allen's vote and the personal efforts of W. J Bryan to have tlie treaty ratified Without Senator Allen’s vote and without tho personal efforts of W. J. Bryan the treaty could not and would not have been ratified, and the Philippine isl ands would not liavo passed to ^he sovereignty of tho United States. After being largely responsible for the acquisition of the Philippines, Bryan and the fusionists huvo adopted a plat - form of repudiation and they hold up thoir hands in abject horror at the spectacle of an honest, commendable and patriotic effort on th* part of the president to suppress doiiMstio lawless ness and rapine in the islands. Like the cupper-heads of 18(il they are cas tigating the McKinley administration for exacting obedience to the well es tablished rules and ethics of popular government and at tho same time are encouraging insurrection by seditious utterances secreted in expressions of sympathy for a people hearing arms against tho United States. It is a prerequisite to popular govern ment that the governing power shall it self bo capable of self government. So soon as the Filipinos shall demonstrate their ability to maintain a government analogous to a republic just so soon will the Republican party through its au thori/. d representatives encourage that undertaking. til ( onmuTflal Iniportttuue. The importance of the United States retaining the Philippines, from a com mercial standpoint, is not to bo dis counted. It is an important link in tha policy of commercial expansion. Par ticularly is this true when considered in connection with American trade* in China. It is only recently, and it is due to the wise statesmanship of Mc Kinley, that American products have found their way to China in any mater ial quantity. The “open door” policy recently promulgated opens up to the farmers and producers of the United States a market, the consuming capa city of which challenges computation. China has au urea of more than one twelfth of th*' globe and a population variously estimated at between :»00,0, 000 and 450,000.000. Her export and import trade reaches enormous propor tions and it will require time aud en ergy alone for the United States to de velop an enormous trade in that country aud with those people. It is a mild assertion to state that China alone can consume every bushel of surplus farm products in the United States. The farmers of Ni braska, us well as the farmer* of other agricultural states, should, therefore, in considering the policy of this government toward the Philippines consider the importance of a commercial footing in China, an es sential of which is control of the islands. This is not imperialism, but commer cialism; is not militarism, but far-reach ing, far-seeing, intrinsic statesman ship. htatt* Is»ue«, Important as aro tlio national issues of scarcely less importance to the people of Nebraska are the state issues. It is no secret that under the Pnynter ad ministration widespread corruption has been practiced, to say nothing of the evil effect of ignorance and lucompe tency. Out of the many stato institutions there is scarcely one whose manage ment is not contaminated and tainted by fraud, corruption and spoliation. The stato has been swindled out of thousands of dollars, and that, too, by the representatives of the .cry party that promised the people of Nebraska an bouost and economical administra tion of public affairs. Not only have state institutions been made asylums fur broken down politicians, but the public funds have been exposed to their rapacity with the result, that while the 2tith general asst uiblv or session of tim legislature nppropuited the enormous •urn of #2,.'.ill,it73 lor l abile purpose-, there will be u large deficiency at the cud of the i urreut year.
