VITAL ISSUES Considered and* ISCUSSED and BY EXPERTS HOAR. MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR AGAINST BRYAN ISM. No Confidence in a Party that Denies Self-Government. The Real Issue Is the Preservation of National Financial Honor and Not Whether Aguinaldo Shall Succeed. tBy Hon. Oeorge F. Hoar, United States Senator.) I am asked to state briefly why I think anti-imperialists should vote for Presi dent McKinley this fall. There is in my judgment such a thing as imperialism, nnd such a thing as anti-imperialism. The imperialist says the Philippine Islands are ours. The anti-imperialists say the Philippine Islands belong to the Philippine people. The imperialists say we will establish for them the best government we think they are tit for. The anti-imperialists say they ha\e a right to establish for themselves such a government as they think good and tit for themselves. Now, President McKinley made the treaty, and Mr. Bryan, when its defeat was assured, came to Washington and saved it. These two great political lend ers. in tween whom you are to take your choice, are equally responsible for every thing that has happened so far. When the treaty became the law of the land, the public faith was pledged to pay S'_*0, 000,000 for sovereignty over the Philip pine Islands, nnd that Congress, and not the people, should dispose of them here after. It became the constitutional duty of the President, until Congress should act, or declare otherwise, to reduce them to order and submission. The Supreme Court of the United States so held long ago. The only difference up to this point between President McKinley ami Mr. Jiryan is that President McKinley be lieved he was doing right, lielonged to a party which had always been, as he him self had been, the champion of political liberty, in the pa“t, nnd is right on all of the oilier questions that are at stake in the coming election, and is tit to be trusted with all new questions that shall arise. On the other hand. Mr. Bryan thought the whole transaction wrong, makes some thin and frivolous excuses f >r 1 is conduct, and the party with whom he acts: and the men who surround him and will surround him as his counselors are men who have been the opponents of righteousness, equality and civil liberty always in the past, are wrong on all the other gre-it questions that are at stake in the present election, nnd are not, in my judgment, to be trusted with new ques tions, however important or vital, that are to come up in the future. In tin* matter of imperiaiirin there* hns been little practical difference between President McKinley anil Mr. Bryan in tin* past. There will tie little practical difference in the future. Mr. Bryan does not even promise to use his power as ex ecutive and commander-in-chief in call ing our troops from the Philippines, lie only promises to call Congress together. He knows very well lie cannot command even the strength of his own party to undo the mischief which seventeen of his own followers in the Senate, at his own instance, wrought when they ratified the treaty—Messrs. McEnery, McLaurin, Morgan. Pettus, Sullivan. Allen, Itutlor, Harris, Teller, Kyle and Jones tof Ne vada)—have not changed their minds. Poasibly Mr. Clay of Georgia and Mr. Kenney of Delaware among his associ ates have done so. It is hopeless, even if the Democrats get a tie, or even a ma jority in the Senate, to expect them to accomplish anything in behalf of the in depen(l"nce of the Philippine Islands. In IV Mi you regarded Sir. Bryan’s cam paign ns a “passionate crusade of dis honor." You said its success would bring with it not only adversity, but disgrace. Would its success not bring disgrace now? Mr. Bryan said at Topeka that if he were elected the free coinage of silver • h ouid is* accomplished before another presidential election. St*orernry Gage says he can lawfully accomplish it by executive power alone. Whether Mr. Gage is right iu his construction of the powers of the President under existing law, I will not undertake to >ay. But 1 will undertake to say that Mr. Bryan will not hesitate to u*e that power if he has the great authority of Mr. Guge for its law fulness. 1 do not believe the tnau who promoted the ratification of the Spanish treaty means business in this nnitt»*t of the Philippine Island*. But 1 do believe he mean* business in the mat ter of the free coinage of silver, in the matter of free trade, and in hit purpura t i reconstruct the Supreme t’oiirt lie means had business, lie mean* Icwine** which will overthrow prosperity and em barrass manufacture, which ivdi reduce Wife* and destroy credit; which Will d< baueh th*' currency and render the stand ard of value ufttertain. which will impair tie* obligation of contracts slid the value of . <rings, who il will hurt our credit and to sk our faith All this t > u is !.*• i * , ns I d > Y 'ti sail so lu I*-*,, V n have been confirmed in your by every !h »l.4! hat happened l»<*e Will you support a t-rud isle who.

Why Judge Hornblower De clines to Support Bryan. Opinion of a Leading New York Jurist Whose Elevation to the Supreme Bench Was Beaten by D. B. Hill. (By Judge William B. Ilornblowor of New York.) Judge William B. Ilornblowor of New York, who was nominated to the Su preme bench of the United States by President Uleveland, and whose confirm ation was beaten in the Senate for pure ly personal causes by David B. Hill, has made the following statement why he, a Democrat, cannot support Bryan: 1 have been repeatedly asked during the past few weeks what, in my judg ! incut, is the duty of a Hold Democrat who is also an Anti-Imperialist, in the pending presidential campaign. The question is by no means a simple one, and I can well understand and appreciate the position taken by such men as Mr. Sehurz, Mr. Shepard and Mr. Olney. For my own part, however, I cannot see lay way clear to reaching their conclu sions. Tlie same reasons which compell ed me to oppose Mr. Bryan in 1800 com pel me to oppose him in the present cam paign. All the heresies, financial and Populistic, which were embodied in the un-Deniocratic, crazy-quilt platform of 1800 ure readopted without any attempt at modification or mollification by the Kansas City platform. The 10 to 1 plank is expressly reaffirmed and redeclared, and this at the instance of Mr. Bryan himself. 1 rannot support a candidate who still adheres to a proposition which, to my mind, is a monstrosity and which, if carried into effect, would in my judg ment produce untold disaster to all classes of the community and bring dis honor and humiliation to our nation. Tlie fact, if it lie a fact, that recent legisla tion has made it difficult for Mr. Bryan lo carry into practice his avowed princi ples does not, it seems to he, make it any the more right to vote for a man who still maintains these principles. It is quite within tlie possibilities! that dur ing his administration, if he should lie elected, a complete change might be ef fected in the politieul composition of both houses of Congress, and the verdict of tlie people expressed at the polls in favor ■ if Mr. Bryan's election as President might be carried into effect. It will ccr rninly be Mr. Bryan’s duty, according to his expressed declaration, to do what in him lies to bring about this result. It is not to be forgotten that Mr. Bryan is not only tlie candidate of what is left of the Democratic party, but he is the candidate also of the Populist party, and lias accepted the nomination on their plat form. The radical notions of the Popu lists, if ever carried into effect in this country, would reduce popular govern ment to a position whore we should lie the laughing stock of the nations, and would produce a reaction in the minds of tlie voters which would carry us far in the direction of domestic imperialism, which I suppose will he conceded to be of vastly more moment to us and to our posterity than colonial imperialism. In deed, the chief objection to colonial im perialism is its probable effect upon our domestic institutions, and its tendency to wards enlarging the powers of the execu tive ns between the executive and the legislative departments of the govern ment, and towards increasing the pow ers of the Federal government as be tween itself and the States. The question as to what is the “para mount issue" in this campaign iH one on which men may honestly differ, l't seems to uie. however, that the most important issue before us at the present moment is whether our domestic affairs are to lie thrown into confusion anil exposed to dis aster. The rights and wrongs of our co | '.unial possessions must in this emergency lie subordinated to the rights and wrongs of our own affairs. Furthermore. 1 am by no means satis fied that Mr. Ilryan would be a safe per son to whom to intrust the imperialistic questions which will confront us in the future. In my judgment be ought to have made his fight at the time when the treaty with Spain was before the Sen ate. lie should have upheld the hands of such dissenting Republicans os Sena [ tor Hoar, and lie should have opposed to the hitter end the principle of buying for ; elgn peoples without their consent and iu 1 the midst of a war for independence on their part. By supporting the treaty Mr. Bryan made himself a party to its com* 1 (tact, and i«, more than any other one mail, ev *pt M Mo Kin ley, re*|Hiimihl* for th • situation.

HORNBLOWER. SCOTT. SOUTHERN PROGRESS UNDER PROTECTION. Improvement Directly Traceable to Protection. Acknowledged and Understood by South* ern Business Men and Planters, Whose Sympathies Are with Republicanism. (By lion. N. B. Scott, United States Senator, of West Virginia.) The South is the citadel of Democracy in this country; it has also always been the citadel of free trade. Twenty-five years ago a protectionist Southerner was almost as rare as a white blackbird. The overthrow of the old Whig party bad practically eradicated that element of po litical society in that section. But since then a great change has been gradually going on. The growth of pro tectionist sentiment in the South during the last quarter century ia one of the most important developments of recent ,political history. It is u fact susceptible of ample proof that whenever we have had a protective tariff the whole country, North and South, has prospered, and whenever we have had a low tariff, or practically free trade, the country has suffered from hard times. In every branch of productive indus try that can be named there has been EXPORTS TO HAWAII: $3,723,057 1900 $13,509,148 EXPORTS TO PHILIPPINES: 1895 $119,255 1900 $2,64^449 “ It Sort o’ Looks as If I’d Have to Kxpand.” increased activity and increased profit during McKinley's administration as compared with the previous low tariff of Cleveland's administration. In these benefits the South has fully participated and shared equally with the North. All this progress, improvement and profit is due mainly to the Republican protective tariff, operating according to the fixed gold standard. The change of opinion among the Southern business men in regard to the principle of the tariff and other funda mental business principles during the present campaign has been wonderful; in fact, quite revolutionary. In West Virginia the feeling in favor of protection Is very strong; in fact, the inhabitants realize that the Republican tariff on coal end iron has been tbe mak ing of the State. The farmers of the State also appreciate the rise in prices of farm products, which they see is due not so much to bountiful crops as to a good market for those crops. The re cent tremendous increase in the foreign demand for American coal is also appre ciated at its full value by the West Vir ginia people, and they are fully aware thnt it hns been rendered possible by the protection afforded to home products by the Itiugley tariff. The banking house of Unmblctnn »v Co. of Baltimore, all of the members of which are prominent Democrat*, have come out with a circular to their client* and correspondent* all over the South, in which they advocate the defeat of Bry an and the re-election of McKinley, «n account of the great benefit* to the South which have accrued from the working* of the Hepublican financial and commer cial policy during the last four year*. In brief, no section of the country has lis t a larger »hare of tbehrcneral proa pent) during the present administration than the South, and it ha* been due main 1) to the operation of tin Kopubli* un tar iff and eurreuey law*, as the Southern busines* men tew understand aud m knowledge Never before in the hutary I of the I ailed State* lias the output of ) the Southern iron »re and pig iron, bun 1 her, mil and r«he, lava large as it baa i lima in tbe pm two tears: and not fur I tears, if ever, have the pn.e* been >• high Never before was •** large a pro portion of Hunt her a produets *hip|*ed fr-<m M.other a pert*.

AMERICANS ARE NATURAL PIONEERS. We Must Advance Commer cially, Being Producers. Must Seek Markets Elsewhere and Cre ate New Openings for Our Goods— Expansion Natural in a Nation's Life. , (By John C. Karnes, of the IT. B. Claflin Co., of New York.) How any man at oil interested in the advancement and welfare of this great country can preach the doctrine of anti expansion is more than I can understand. Anti-expansion means contraction, or at least that would be the result. Unless we seek markets for our goods outside of the limits of our own country we cannot advance commercially. We are a coun try of producer*. Not only do we draw from nature’s bountiful supplies of the ground, but, by using the ingenuity Providence has given us, we have demon strated that we can by modern machin ery turu out more manufactured goods than we can use. Therefore we must not only seek markets elsewhere, but we must create new markets for our produc tions. To do this our country must have at least a foothold in other countries, commercially at least. Our occupancy of Cuba and Porto Rico has assured us of the greater part of the trade with those islands. The influence for good has not stopped there, but it has extended to all the Spanish-speaking countries of America. Inquiries from these countries for American goods and manufactures are becoming more numer ous every day. I wish to say right here from my own knowledge of the business men in Cuba, and from what they have said to me per sonally, that I am sure that their conti detiee in us alone was what mad# them coatinue business on the islands and feel that there wus a future for them. With out an exception the business men from Havana and other cities in Cuba have stated frankly to me that if the United States should withdraw entirely from Cuba they themselves would feed obliged to go out of business that all busiuesa con tii If nee would be shaken. Speaking especially of fabrics manu factured from cotton, think how impor tant it is that we find new markets for our cotton goods. Of the nine to twelve millions of bales of raw cotton produced in this country twothirds of it is ex ported und made up into cotton cloths uhroud. The exportation of the raw ma terial in itself is an immense factor iu our foreign trade and commerce, but how much l»'tter it would be, iustead of send ing two thirds of the raw cotton abroad and using one-third in manufacturing goods in this country, to export one-third and u<e two-thirds here, exporting the finished product, thereby doubling the number of our mills and factories and giving emplojtnent to twice the number of o'M>rutive«.

WARREN. WHAT REPUBLICANISM HAS DONE IN WYOM NG. Miners and Stockraisers Are Receiving Good Returns. Senator Warren Tells Why the West Will Return Good Majorities for McKinley and Roostvclt This Year. (By lion. Francis K. Warren, United State* Senator.) The people of Wyoming are vitally and intensely interested in the outcome of the present campaign. Wyoming ha* been a State but a little over eight years, and of tlii* period four years each of Demo cratic ami Republican government have served to impress upon the minds of its people two distinct ami impressive ob ject lessons. The first period was dur ing the Democratic administration front DM to 18!)t! inclusive, in which we suf fered so severely in business matter* and when our material condition* were con fessedly so devoid of tiope that as we look back it all seems like a hideous nightmare. The second period/>f four years is tlint formed by the McKinley administration. At the outset of it we were awakened to life and hope. During this time our industries, depressed and unprofitable under Democratic policies, have become prosperous, and our business veutures remunerative and satisfactory. The ranches, farms, cattle, sheep, mines and railroads of our State all give substantia! returns to the capital and labor expend ed upon them, und our people, instead of being constant borrowers, are now pay ing their debts and becoming lenders. Bryan’s scare heads—"Expansion, Im perialism and Militarism"—are not an issue of the campaign in Wyoming. This Stnte is the product of expansion. Every foot of its area of 07,000 square miles was formed from territory acquired by acts of expansion such as the Louisiana purchase, the seizure of the Oregon coun try, the Mexican treaty, and the Cali fornia purchase, and all this without the consent of the governed. One of our Wyoming volunteers whp, when the war broke out, was a leading Democratic politician of the State, who went to the Philippines as a private and through merit won a commission, recent ly wrote home as follows: "I would like to lie home so that 1 could vote against Bryan. I hope he will be defeated so badly that the buga boo word Imperialism will never In board again.” The chief industries in Wyoming are live stock raising, farming, coal mining and railroad operation. Sheep, cuttle and horse raising form the greatest in dustry of the State. During the four years of Demorratic administration, and under the direct operations of the Wil son tariff law, the condition of the sheep and wool industry in Wyoming was ap palling. Slicep brought less than one dollar a head; wool sold for five cents and sometimes loss per pound, and mut ton shipments would scarcely realize the railroad freight to market. During that four years the highest annual assessed valuation of all the sheep in the State was $1,308,000. But with the McKinley administration and the Dingley tariff of 1897 sheep, which could scarcely find a purchaser at a dollar a head, now sell for four dollars. Wool now brings from fourteen to seven teen cents. Mutton now sells for from four to six rents a pound on foot. And the assessed valuation of sheep in Wy oming is now $5,428,493, a gain in four years of over 300 per cent. The contraift between the cattle In dustry under Democratic and Republi can administrations is almost as start ling. From 1893 to 1897 depression and ruin was the rule. Hut, as in the sheep business, the election of McKinley and inauguration of Republican policies wrought a marvelous change. Mixed herds of cattle for tflr past three years buve sold for thirty to thirty-five dollars a head; calves bring fifteen to twenty dollars a head, and steers now net the cattle raiser from forty five to fifty-five dollars each. The assessed valuation of cattle in the State now amounts to $8, 134,800 and is rapidly Increasing. I'nder the past four years of Repub licanism, Wyoming has grown to be an important factor atuoug the coal produc ing States. During the four years of Democratic rule, with the same number I of mines ns at present, the annual pro ' duct ion was 2,439.311 tons a* against 4,500,000 tons per annum during the past two years of the McKinley sdminis I tratlon. The increase in production I no uns more miners, more days worked, ' better pay. The most hopeful feature of Wymti i mg's business cumin. n D to he found in [ the fact that its local bash* now t arry tile credits of its business people.

BALDWIN. CONSOLIDATING ROADS ASSISTS THE EMPLOYES. Better Chance for Railroad Men than Ever Before. A Return to the Old System of fflgh Freights, High Fares aad Jerk water Railroads Is an Im possibility. (By William II. Baldwin, Jr„ President of the Long Island Hailroad.) To appreciate the significance of the value of railroad consolidation to the pub lic, it is only necessary to attempt to conceive of a return to former conditions. The small independent railroads, with their relatively small number of em ployes, each road with its own standards of equipment dependent upon the idiosyn crasies of its principal officers or direc tors; each road with responsibilities to the public as a carrier only to the extent of its own short line—all these limita tions suggest a local independence which would permit to the railroad the employ ment of labor on the basis of "supply" for its small demands. On the other hand, the gradual growth of large systems composed of many such small lines produces a new and constant ly growing responsibility to the public, until finally n point is reached w'here the law of supply and demand affects hut remotely the skilled labor necessary in transportation service. The function per , formed by railroads has become tew im portant to the body politic to permit, of any solution of these serious labor and wage questions, except by intelligent con sideration on the part of the representa tives both of the management and of the employes. The effect of consolidation has brought ninny good results to the employes: An increased ability on the part of the rail roads to pay higher wages; to employ more men; an improvement in standards of tracks and equipment, which has re duced the hours for a day's work and has made the service less dangerous. It has also made the employment of men in the service more regular throughout the year and thns kept together a regular force, and lias developed a code of stand ard rules, governing the army of em ployes, which have dignified their em ployment and made more permanent their positions. The saving by consolidation Is due to the ability to develop business econom ically. Conversely, the business of any trunk line to-day could not be handled by a series of independent lines with varying standards, ut the present rates w hich are profitable to the larger lines. With the improved efficiency and economy of trans portation, rutes have constantly declined and traffic has been continually develop ed. With increased density of traffic, the number of employes has been increas ed in proportion and has been paid a higher wage. The improved facilities and higher speed of trains have made the day's work for a trainman, not one hun dred miles as a maximum, but as a min imum, ao that to-day, with high speed trains, the trainman may earn in two hours’ time a wage higher than he earn ed in earlier days in five hours’ time. Even though the wage per mile run were the sume to-day as in past years, the ac tual work which the trainman con phy sically do within reasonable hours is oftentimes lilt) per cent greater. The lo comotive engineer of to-day may average easily one hundred and seventy-five miles per day, and at an increased rate of pay over the one-hundred-miie day of the past. In railroads, more than In any class of labor In this country, we have seen the results of wise leadership on the part of the trade unions. Both capital and labor aim at monopoly; the best result is ob tained only when intelligent counsel pre vails. The railroads are moving on to word greater consolidations and with con stantly increasing benefit to their million employes and to the public. More and more each year the managements of rail roads acknowledge their public duties, more and more each year the operation of railroads is liecomiug a governmental function, so that, as I see it, the best condition will lie renehed when the re lations between the government and the railroads are intelligently defined, with the nianngement and operation left in tin- hands of private persons. The ideal condition la to so operate ibe railroads as to approach an ideal governmental o|H>ration and yet to retain the ownership in private capital. The history of railroad wages has shown that the public has been willing always to recognise the responsibilities of railroad men, and ha* given lis sym pathy to them in their reasonable de mand". The employes, n« a rule, have shown an Intelligent understanding of the reasonable wage, and when they have not acted fairly and wisely they have red been "imported by the public, have been refused their demands by the railroads and have learned that reason i most prevail, H II II H VI.UM IVJlt New Y ok REMEMBER!
