BRYAN'S MANAGER. JONES,
ON ''IGNORANT FOREIGNERS”
He Said that “Ignorant Foreigners” Com
prised Fully One Half of the Number of
Votes Received by McKinley.
Deliteate Assertion of Democratic National Chairman Jas. K. Jones,
that "He Believed Bevontly that Bryan Hal Been Elected
anil Was Swindled Ont of the Pres.facj."
“Be Belicrei tiial is 1900 tnc Bimetallic Forces Wonld Win a Great Victory
Els Declaration Tie! He Principles of 1896 Are AOsolntely
Essential to llie Welfare of He Country.”
(Extroct* from the a(Mro.«s of United StatP* Senator Jump* K. .Tonox, elialr
mau of the Democratic natiounl commit ice, before the Logialuture of Arkansna.)
Bryiin's manager, 3. K. Jones, said:
“Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners, who were here taking bread
out of the months of honest labor, voted
at the last election at the dictation of Me
lory." This still makes It! to 1 tlse para*
mount issue.
He reasserted his conviction “that the
principles he spoke for were absolutely
essential to the welfare of the country.”
That is lt> to 1.
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 groHt 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 aliout 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 bail been put on notice.” He believ
ed “that in t!XH) the bimetallic forces
would win a great victory. Kising prices
always bring prosperity, declining prices
adversity. The repeal of the Sherman
act huil been followed by a decline of to
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
-bsolutely essential to the welfare of the
country.”
l'n the midst of the enunciation of such
views as these the Senator accounted for
the election of the Republican ticket by
declaring:
“HUNDERDS OF THOUSANDS OF
IGNORANT FOREIGNERS, WHO
AUK HKUK TAKING THK BKKA1)

LABOR, VOTED AT THK LAST
ELECTION AT THK DICTATION
OF M'KINLEYS SUPPORTERS.
THKSK FOREIGNERS COMPRISED
ONE HALF OF TILE NUMBER OF
VOTES RECEIVED BY M’KINLKY”
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. Front that report, the ac
curacy of which has never been <iues
tioned by the Senator, the above is
taken.
JONES ABUSES FOREIGN VOTERS
Kiuley’a supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-half of the number
of votes received by McKinley."
These are the words of the tnnn who
conducted the Democratic campaign iu
1800. The same mnn is the present chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee. He owes his position to the wish
of Mr. Hryun.
The language quoted above was used
In a speed). It is no remembered scrap
of idle conversation. It was uttered in
tio 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 lubor, voted at
the last election at the dictation of Mc
Kinley's supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-half the number of
Votes received by McKinley.”
And then on this basis that the Re
publican party owed success in l.MMI to
"ignorant foreigners.” i'liuirmun Junes
proceeded to hold out the hope of success
in 1000.
“Can there be any doubt,” be asked,
“ns to which shall prevail, the six and
oue-hulf millions of intelligent Itryan vot
ers or the three und one half million*
‘ignorant foreigners' who Voted for Mc
Kinley ?"
It will Seetn to sensible people almost
incredible that the chairman of the
Democratic national committee could
make such statements in a puMie speech.
Hut the Honorable .Isa. K. Junes did it.
More than two months after the elec
tion of IMni he uttered the assertion

The Senator spoke for over an hour.
Ilunniug through his speech were two
principal thoughts. One was this idea,
that Uepilblirnn success had been achiev
ed through the "ignorant foreigners," n
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 ami as industrious
as they ever were. Whut, then, was
the matter? The last census report shows
that the wealth of the country was $tl5,
OlKI.iM*1,000, or about $.1,000 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
and more deservingV" lie considered
that the Southern people rank fully up
to, if not alieail of, the people iu the
balance of the country. The Southern
people are more completely Anglo-Saxon
than tbo«e of the other States and there
fore more Viueriean.
At this point tile chairman of the Item*
erratic national committee made one of
tile most remarkable of this series of
startling statements for Arkan<as con
sumption. He illustrated Ids assertion
that the Southern people are "more
American" than tin- rest of the country,
iu this way:
"It took the people of the combined
North and Ku»t four years to conquer
the Southern |ieople, and the latter had
built for them u pension list that was
appalling.”
The Senator’s »|ieech bristled with as
sertions intruded io incite the spirit of
class prejudice. He said
"Millionaires and pau|M-r« grew on the
same bush. When you make a million

DEMOCRATS UNFIT TO GOVERN.
Why F.x-Henutor W. A. Peffer Is Sup
porting McKinley.
In a published letter issued at Topeka,
Kan., ex-U, S. Senator PefTer of that
State xayx one of the principal reasons
why he leaves the Demo-Populist party
is that it is not tit to govern the coun
try. His exact words are:
“The Democratic party is not fit to
govern this country under inodoru condi
tions of universal freedom. Look back
upon the second administration of Presi
dent Cleveland. I'pward of $250,000,000
in 1'uited 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 $2<XI,«MJU,IJiM> of 3
per cent bonds were sold to our own p<se
pie in sums of $25 to $500. 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 unite, $I.'si.uimi.imhi
in gold coin anti bullion, nud there is
plenty of money in the country for the
transaction of the people's business."
On the Philippine <|uestiou Mr. Peffer
says: “The insurrection of Aguiualdo and
his followers must lie completely and per
inaucutly suppressed tiefore elvil govern
ment can be permanently established In
the meantime the President is exertiug
every effort to preserve order and protect
sit iM-accuhly disposed persons.
“As before staled when one sovereign
power cedes territory to another, the al
legiautv of the inhabitants is transferred
to the Hew sovereign, 'The saiue act
which transfers their eonniry transfers

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,
the test of sincerity is conduct. When a
person or a party preaches one thing anil
practices another, there is no excuse for
being deceived us to his honesty. Four
years ago when Mr. Itrynn 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 Dominated hint. How
ever bud their logic, their theory accord
ed with their practice. The party us
then organized, so far as it hud the pow
er had practiced what it was then preach
ing.
Tlw 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 ure
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 hanks, and they were and are
the hotbed of free silver; therefore in
advocating It* 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 hanking this
time, hut it is “Liberty,” the “consent
of file 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?

Mr. Bryan Is insincere ami is merely ns- i
ins these "liberty phrases'' t<> catch
Totes where political rights are uiore ad
vanced than ill the Democratic States,
or else he does not represent the Demo
cratic party at all. The party’s practice
for a generation speaks infinitely louder
than Mr. Bryau’s words. What the
party has always done and is now doing,
it may be relied upon to do if elected to
power. Until the States whore Mr. Bry
an’s party reigns supreme show some in
tention of practicing these "golden pre
cepts.” their declaration in nati <ul
platforms and candidates’ speeches, may
properly be taken ns only so much mate
rial for political deception.
It is not a question of wliefher the en
franchisement of the negro was a wise
or unwise policy, but it is a question of
rommon political honesty. If the party
believes, as its practice shows, that the
negroes are an inferior rats* and cannot
with safety to our institutions he admit
ted to political rights, to proclaim the
doctrine that the "Creator never denied
to any race of people the capacity of
self-government,” is obvious hypocrisy.
Some of the Democrats in tin- 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 tnke Mr. Bry
an seriously in this “consent of the gov
erned” talk and says:
"It Is nil sweet and nice enough to Indulge
on Fourth of July occasions In the generali
ties about the ‘consent of the governed,’
uhout ‘Inullenulile rights,' about the equality
of all men at birth, and so forth, Just ns our
forefathers did who owned slaves and who
robbed the Indians of their land, but It Is
another matter when you try to apply It to
the Negro, the Indian, the Kanaka and the
Filipino. We of the South are contending
for our own, and we are going to have it.
The Negro has nothing that we want that
wus not taken from os by force and given
to him. lie has no land, he has no birth
right, no heritage nothing but a right to
help govern which was given wrongfully to
him. When we take the ballot from him we
leave him In a far better condition than he
found himself when In- came among us as
a result of Yankee thrift and speculation.”
Tint Macon Telegraph, with real South
ern frankness, tells the simple truth
about the Democratic position on this
subject. Its statement is supported by
both tlie theory utwl 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 ami udvocaey of Garri
sonian principles is a personal (light in
political oratory, which has no relation
to the past practice or future intention of
tlie present Democratic party. If Mr.
Bryan should he elected the ollices would
he filled and tlie 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 halt 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 ns Mr. Bryan's Indianapolis speech
reveals will fail to deceive. The Ameri
can citizens are not ignorant Filipinos,
they are too well informed on the policy
and practice of the Democracy on this
subject to be caught by Mr. Bryan’s
rhetorical if not hypocritical phrases. The
name of "Lincoln" and "political liberty”
are too sacred to he flippantly used in
such a cause. The American people have
some sense of the fitness of things.
HALUCI NATIONS, HOBGOBLINS.
Senator Stewart Telia What Ails the
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 Brynuism and here is why he has
left the Popocrnt fold:
“Mr. Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form and his insistence on the adoption
of that platform nt Ksor.as City,” said
Senator Stewart, “induced the people to
suppose the campaign of 1!MM) would l»e
conducted on the issues of In this
way they were mistaken. An hallucina
tion induced Bryan to make wur on an
army of ghosts and hobgoblins, which a
diseased brain created. His instinct,
which has formerly led him to consider
realities, departed. He sought his closet
in pursuit of phantoms, nnd strung to
gether ten thousand words, which he
gave to the public nt Indiunapolis. He
omitted all mention of the issues of ItilMl
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
dianupolia program introduces an element
of doubt into the canvass in Nevada,
Colorado, Montana, Idaho and I'tah
which was wholly lacking four years
ago. But on the defensive in one and
all these former strongholds by an at
tempted change of issues, and gaining
no uinteriul strength elsewhere by the
sudden aiiout fuee of his acceptance

FACTS ABOUT THAT
“BRITISH ALLIANCE.
Investigation by Father Malone,
the American Priest.
Lord Salisbury's Diplomatic Plans—
President McKinley s Independent
Policy—Our Course Regarding
China Tells the Story.
Rev. Thomas II. Malone of Denver
writes from London his information and
opinion on the relations between the
United States and Great Britain. The
letter is the more significant because four
years ago Father Malone's sympathies
were strongly with the free silver cause
and his influence was east on the side of
Bryan. For some time this widely known
priest hus been abroud and his facilities
for judging of what are the actual rela
tions between the two governments have
been exceptionally good. The letter is
addressed to Mr. It. C. Kerens, the Mis
souri member of the Republican national
committee. Father Malone writes:
“Mr. McKinley’s attitude during the
present crisis in China must be sorely
disappointing to such men as lion.
Bourke Coekran and others who have a
special object in making it appear that
the President lias really if not nominal
ly entered into an alliance with England.
“Mr. Coekran and those who think
with him are well aware that if the pop
ular mind cun be led to believe Mr. Mc
Kinley's administration is committed to
the fortunes of England the Irish and
Germans of the country would resent
his attitude to the extent of throwing
their votes against him at the polls.
“But in considering this question one
should be actuated by higher motives
titan partisan advantage, for the welfare
of our country, regardless of purty, must
depend upon the patriotic impulses of tho
people.
"I, too, would resent any alliance be
tween the United States and England,
but I would equally resent the charge
that such au alliance exists until it shall
have I teen proven beyond the peradven
ture of a doubt. Now, what are the
facts in the case ns demonstrated by re
cent developments? The Chinese trou
bles, which at the present writing arc in
u most acute stage, furnish the key to the
position of the United States Government
in so far at least as any alleged alliance
with England is concerned.
"Mr. Hay's note to the powers sets
forth clearly the President’s policy, and,
looking at it from this side of the ocean,
I confess thi«t it seems to'disarm the
critics who for the past year have been
profligate in charging undue sympathy
for England on the part of our Govern
ment.
r runt mo j'.itgiisii point oi view ujis
policy, it is frankly admitted here in
London, has been keenly disappointing.
It was assuredly the desire and inteution
of the British Government to so use the
United States and Japan as to conserve
its own interests at home and abroad.
This would readily have beeu done by
throwing these two countries between
China and Russin so ns to thwart ami
weaken the latter, afld thus gain a timely
advantage over the allied powers,
“Indeed I speak advisedly when I say
that it was confidently hoped that Mr.
McKinley, in consideration of England's
attitude during the Spnnish-American
war, would readily acquiesce in Lord Sal
isbury's well-laid plans for action in
China and allow our Government to be
pushed to the front and thus shield the
British Government in an hour of trying
need. Hail the President consented to
commit the United States to a policy of
joint action with the powers England
would have been highly elated, for in
that ease we would soon find ourselves in
open opposition to Itussia, and, while
nominally protecting American lives and
interests, we would in reality be fighting
the battles of the British Empire.
“But Mr. McKinley’s more prudent
course, as outlined in Mr. Hay’s note,
lias not been received with cordial good
will in England, whose position may lie
inferred from a paragraph in to-day’s
Globe which expresses amazement that
the United States will suffer the Vhole
campaign to be rendered abortive in or
der to gratify what it is pleased to cult
•the cold and calculating designs of Itus
sia.'
“One feels from tlie ntmospherp that
tlie United States Government is in no
mood for an alliance of any kind with
England. That 'Barkis is willin' ’ on this
side of the ocean there is no shadow of
doubt.
"Hence, looking at the President** pol
icy from the point of view affurded iu
England, I am convinced that he meant
what he said at the dinner of the Ohio
Society iu New Yolk when he affirmed
that bis policy was both to avoid entan
gling alliances with as wed as hostility
to an.v other nation. And I am moreover
convinced that the British Empire is re
ceiving neither eneoumgciucnt nor sym
pathy at this time from the Government
at Washington.
