There are sixty different tribeB
in the Philippines and the anti-expansionists
demand that they all be
turned over to Aguinaldo.
Bryan sees danger in our Na
tional prosperity, and those wishing
to do him justice must admit that,
.should his opinions prevail, such a
jsource of danger would be speedily
removed.
It is remarkable how the leaders
of the Democratic party, while
eated at home or in committee,
can give advice as to the conduct
tf the war and criticise the work of
tboee who go to the front and carry
-the flap to victory.
In one breath the Democratic
orator will assure bis hearers that
McKinley has no backbone, that he
it a creature controlled by thoBe
round him, and with the : next
breath will accuse him of shaking
the Republic to pieces in order to
erect a throne on the ruins thereof.
The Democratic press is telling
the people that the McKinley pros
perity is only skin deep. Perhaps
tbey are right, but there is no ques
tion about the Cleveland adversity
Slaving reached to the joints and
.marrow of the body politic. Skin
sleep Republican prosperity is a
thousand-fold better than bone deep
Democratic hard times.
Fishermen, miners and wood
men, farmers and mechanics, all
were prosperous to a remarkable de
cree in 1899. In that year the ex
ports of fisheries increased $1,000,
000 in round numbers. Mining and
forestry products went over the pre
Tious year's phenominal record near
ly $10,000,000 each. Agriculture
ent to other countries more than
50,000,000 more goods than in 1898
and manufacturers were exported
to the remarkable amount of over
100,000,000 over the greatest pre
vious year. And yet we are told by
liired claquers and curbBtone bank
ers that Republican methods are
Jliining the country.
The Democrats favor a stable
government for, the Philippines.
. "The Sultan of Turkey has a Btable
government, the Czar Of Russia has
stable government, China has had
stable government for twenty cen
turies, which kind does it favor?
Hot a single Spanish colony' that
ver threw off the Spanish , yoke
ever possessed a stable government
within fifty years after declaring in
dependence. The Philippines to
day would have a peaceable and
just government were it not for the
encouragement afforded to the in
surgents by the hostility here in
the States to the efforts of the array
to conquer rebellion.
Gorman has announced that' he
. will take no part in the campaign,
ind thirty or more Demooratio
newspapers of Minnesota have come
out against Bryan, These are straws
favoring MoKinley's chances.. They
indicate that Maryland may possi
bly go Republican and; that the
German larmers of the nor hwest
are not aB soared over "militarism"
as haB been supposed. Inoidents
of this sott may be given exagger
ated importance, usually are, in
fact, by Republican papers, but it
is probably safe to regard them as
trustworthy signs of the trend of
opinion away from Bryan. Ore
gonian. ! :
An ex-Rebel soldier, who was in
Medford Sunday, was asked how he
intended to vote at the comiug No
vember election. His reply was
that he had a son now in the army
in the Philippines and that he had
reversed the order of "like father;
like son," and that this fall it would
be "like son; like father." "My
son," says he, "knows the situation
better than I do. He says vote Mo
Kiriley and it's McKinley I'm go
ing to vote. The boys who are do
ing the fighting know the lay of the
ground better than we do at home
and I'm with 'em every time.
My son eays Old Glory floats gal
lantly over the islands and ne lor
one and all the boys are of the
same mind don't want to Bee it
taken down."
HARD HITS AT BRYAN.
From the Chicago Tlmea-Hrsld.
Mr. Bryan is peculiarly unfortu
nate in having two weekly papers,
suoh as J. Sterling Morion's Con
servative and Sarah B. Harris'
Courier in his home state, the one
at Nebraska City and the other at
Lincola. Mr. Morton's saying that
"Bryan's mint is bis mouth" haB
made such a hit that it would take
a six months' campaign of silence
on Mr. Bryan's part to counteract
its effect.
Now comes Miss Harris in the
Courier, which is the organ of the
Nebraska State Federation of Wom
en's Clubs', and punctures Mr. Bry
an's tiresome reiteration about the
consent of the governed with the
truism that "this Government ex
ists by the consent of less than one
fifth of the governed." And then
Miss Harris proceeds to shake the
idiocy out of Mr. Bryan's "imperial
ism" bugaboo with this pregnant
paragrapb :
"If Admiral Dewey had Bailed out
of Manila Bay after destroying the
Spanish ships he would have done
what the anti-imperialists now say
thiB Government should have or
dered bim to do. Then th ere would
have been an Oriental slaughter of
Spanish residents, combatants and
noncombatants, and the United
States would have been the mock of
history. When our Government is
destroyed either anarchy or another
government will take its place. Had
Admiral Dewey left the peaceful
residents of Luzon to the Oriental
cruelty of Aguinaldo and his follow
ers, Mr. Bryan might have brought
an unanswerable indictment aguinet
President McKinley's administra
tion." This is the unswervable reason
ing of every well-poised American
mind. . The United States could not
strike the responsibility forced upon
it by the destruction of Spanish au
thority in the Philippines.
: The issue as joined by Mr. Bry
an's speech and the Republican
platform is :
Shall we have responsibility for
the Philippines without authority
or with authority? '
, Bryan's policy of a protectorate
is a' conception and confession of
childish impotence.

OREGON APPLES
IN SHANGHAI.
U. S. Consul li. B. Miller
Writes of Possibilities
of Oregon Fruit
V In the Orient. .
Pram the PorUsnd Telegram.
i Apples sell in Shanghai for $7
per box, silver, or $3.f0 gold. Oro
gon apples would find ready mar
ket thoro and Counsel II. B. Miller,
in writing to Colonel Dosch, says
Oregon apples ought to get in the
swim. Several other interesting
notes are contained in Mr. Miller's
letter, as follows:
"Yakima apples come in here
every your and sell for $7 silver
por box, or 13.50. gold. A good
market could be had here for the
Oregon apples if they could bo sold
for i'2 a box. I see no reaBon why
the line of steamers out of Port
land could not take up the matter
and make business. Several varie
ties of Oregon apples should do
well here.
"There are a great many wealthy
Chinese living here, and they eat
apples and like them, and I am
convinced that a good apple mar
ket can be mado if reasonable
freight rates can be scoured. All
apples shipped here should be care
fully selected, perfectly sound, well
wrapped and nicoly boxed. I hope
some one in Oregon will tako up
this question and secure the trade.
"This is a wealthy and prosper
ous city and is going to bo one of
the great cities of the world. Ore
gon can sell it flour, lumber and
fruit. If the prune organization
succeeds it should send a repre
sentative to all the principal cities
this side of the Pacific.
"Peaches are grown hore plenti
fully and they are fairly good, al
though they are not so large and
fine as the Oregon peaches. They
grow a peach here that is flat,
two and a-half to three inches in
diameter, by one inch thick. It is
rather sweeter than the common
peach and I am inclined to think
it would be an excellent peach to
glow in Southern Oregon, or possi
bly in the Williamctte Valley. I
would like for you to secure some
grafts and have them tried. The
peach trees I have seen so far look
very healthy and vigorous. The
country about here is no doubt a
very fine peach country and I be
lieve would produce a very fine
French prune, but it is too hot for
the Italian or Oregon. Japan
might grow the Oregon prune if
they had any soil; but from what
I saw it,it was too rocky. They act
tually grow good vegetables on Bix
inches of soil in solid rock. It re
quires water, fertilizers and much
work.
"The fearful stuggle for life on
the farms of Japan is truly pitiful.
I question whether there is another
race of people on the face of the
earth living so woll under such
poor conditions. They cultivate
the rocks and make them sustain
life.
"If the marvelous natural condi
tions of the Philippines could be
combined with the industry, energy,
skill and patriotism of the Japan
ese the wealth of the world would
be theirs. There are too many
people in Japan and nature is
forced to its limit to give them a
poor'life at best."
The letter expresses ideas in line
with the views of Colonel Dosch,
who has been trying to work up a
market in the Orfent for Oregon
produce, especially fruit. With
that object in view he wrote to the
United States consuls in China last
year and received much valuable
information which was imparted
to fruit growers and shippers
through the "Telegram." He has
tried to get shippers to take hold
and succeeded in having Bent one
shipment of fruit. ,
