WORSE THAN TAXES.
Some of the Bryan organs arc in a
state of mind on MOM ft! of the war
taxes and compl tin that the citizen
is "flned" by the government :
When he sends a telegram.
When he draws :. check.
When he becomes a bet
corporation.
When lie transfers his slock.
When he insures his
life.
When he a-signs his assurance.
Wlun he makes a note to nisei
money for the payment of other;
taxes.
When he buys a money order.
When lie executes a lease.
When he sends a paid telephone
message.
When an indemnity bond is given, i
When a bill of exchange is drawn. I
When a citizen executes nn instru
ment necessary in the sale of mer
chandise on "change.
When he ships goods by freight or
express.
When lie clears vessel and flies
a manifest.
When he executes a power of at
torney. When he buys proprietary medi
cines. When he chevs gum.
When he uses any perfumes or liis
wife indulges in cosmetics.
When a note is protested.
When a warehouse receipt is
given.
When nieichandise is insured in a
custom house.
Well, there was a blissful time
when this country was not paying
war taxes. Il was from 1893 to
1896:
When business men were failing.
When banks were suspended.
When manufacturer! were closing
their shops.
When the wheels of machinery
were silent.
AVhcn factory chimneys were
smokeless.
When wage-earners were out of
jobs.
When idle men walked the streets
in despair.
When women and children went
ragged and hungry.
When thousands of families, ac
customed to prosperity and too
proud to beg. suffered in silence.
When the cry for bread was heard
in the land.
When free soup houses kept many
people from starving.
When many enterprises were at a
standstill.
When ihe grim specter of want
was a familiar sight.
This was when the party of "tariff
reform" and "free silver" was -jet
ting in its deadlv work. It
evidences wheu lint question was
discussed in the senate, after see ins
Mi. Bryan day after day in the cor !
ridors and anterooms of the senate,
button holing his men, that were

And then Senator llano proceed

that grand old man, Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, spoken about a
month ago in presence of twenty to
thirty prominent business men of
Boston, in response to a request that
he give bis views on the political
questions of the campaign. Senator
Hoar said :
"Gentlemen, you all know that 1

party upon this Philippine question,
but that is only one of the many im
portant questions, and as long as rr. y
party stands upon the foundation,
the principles of which were the be
ginning and baptism of its life, I
shall stand by my party. But I pro
pose to tear ihe mask from the face
of that hypocrite, William J. Brpan.
I call him a hypocrite because, like
ruy fiiends, Senator Lodge and Sen
ator Ilannn, I know the motive
which inspired the action on his
part to ratify the treaty. You told
me then, but I could hardly believe
it was true, and I now see that it
was true, and that he is acting the
part of a consummate hypocrite in
day as his fellow-copperheads had
then.
EXCEPTIONAL TREATMEA T
I'ORTO RICA MS.
OF
"The generous- treatment of the
Porto Ricans accords with the most
liberal thought of our own country
and encourages the best aspirations
of the people of the island," says the
president in his letter of acceptance.
And that sums up the I'orto Rican
question in one sentence. For the
United States has never treated any
territory it ever owned with the
liberality and generosity it has shown
to Porto Rico. Let us mention one
particular in proof of this allegation :
During the year 1899 there was col
lected and paid into the United
Slates treasury from the teriitories of
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma
and Alaska the sum of 2, 154,004.
Of this sum there was returned to
these territories, for the wages of
federal officials and for other federal
expenditures, the sum of 11 C,3.'0,
leaving a net balance of profit to the
trcas'.uy of 11,787,654.18. The profit
from Alaska, alone, amounted to

ways been a mystery to this deponent,

support the Kansas City platform.
The diminutive sheet opens its little
eampaisn with the appalling an
nouncement that "Portland and
vicinity will go for Bryan and all
that remains is lo count Bryan's
majority." The Lantarn's gall is
evidently in a vigorous condition.

BRYAN ON LINCOLN.
The Globe-Democrat, like Iff,
Bell in the Oregonian, has been
studying Bryan's quotations from
Lincoln with results that are not
strictly complimentary to either
Bryan or his running mate. The
G lobe Pe BJMttret says:
port taxes and internal revenue,
nearly a million dollars more than
we paid back in the form of federal
expenditure. Thus out of every
collected in the four territories less
than 1 goes back to be expended
in these territories. In other words,
over 80 per cent of the money col
lected by the (Jilted Stales, is
expended for the general purposes of

few sentences earlier than those
quoted by Bryan, Lincoln said that
