The meeting was at the court house, and was one Qf the prettiest political meetings ever held in Corvallis. There was no brass band to draw a crowd, yet the big coart room was more than filled.- Fifty or 100 stood up in the ' aisles and corridors, and a large number, un able to find seats, did not enter. A strikine feature was the - close attention paid the speakers, - One of them spoke an hour and three quarters, and throughout his ; ad dress those ' standing, bravely re mained in their places until-.he had concluded. Dashes of fervent ap plause greeted many an utterance. The brethren were in the hnmor to cheer and they lost no opportunity to do so. , They seemed to see blood on the moon for the opposition, and the fact whetted their appetites for explosions of applause. It was a very significant meeting. The Philomath democratic quartette sang, andsangelegantly. They sang an inquiry about what Abraham Lin coln would sayifhecould be here, and the sentiment touched a spot so felicitous that the singers, were stormily encored. They came back and sang another melody not less acceptable ' to the ' audience. The singers contributed much to the pleasure of the evening. T r WAS WOUNDED AT MALABOS. Private- Earl Sanders, late of Company L, 2nd Oregon, spoke first. He : is but 22 years of age, and is a student at the State Uni versity. He is, working . his way through college. His military re cord is sealed with his own blood. He was in the ugly engagement at Malabon. That was the place where General Funston, of the Kan sas regiment, refused to lead his men. . He said it was too hazardous a place to send men, and so the 2nd Oregon was sent to carry the works. The papers all over the country told of the brave work of the Ore gon lads. Of 14 men sent out on a dangerous mission, Earl Sanders was one. Five hooded earthworks were ahead of them, with an enfi lading fire from the bushes to right and left. Of the 14, three were killed and six wounded,. Mr Sand ers being among the latter -with a Mauser bullet through his leg. v CHEAPNESS OF .' FILIPINO ' LABOR Mr Sanders talked only on im perialism. He .begged his country men not to annex the islands.VNo American can live in that tropical climate and work, he said. None but native bprn in that or similar climes can withstand the heat, aod debili tating climate. .. He pointed to thousands of volunteers - whose health is shattered bv reason of their work in the islacd. The only per sons to whom the islands can be of advantage, are rich men who can buy up large tracts - ot land or build" factories, and with cheap lab or send products in to our own and foreign markets to compete : with the . American workingmen Wages there are rive collars per month, and further back in the in terior, much less, j The Filipinos are skillful artisans. They can fashion tools or implements of the most intricate character. Ihey are cunning and smart. They are far keener than the Chinese, , and not less crafty. They have exalted ideas of life in the United States, and annexation means that they will come to our shores in count less numbers to dispute for places now held by American working. men. - ;--'.--'" ' ; . ';' ;' . -- : WHAT RETURNING VOLUNTEERS, SAY. ; The speaker said that the fight ing of the Filipinos today was far different from that of two years ago. Tbey have - learned. ' They know something now of the use of arms, and of the -value of discipline and maneuvre.r Ihe other dav he met three returned volunteers, who had been ; wounded apd sent home, These said the tactics now of the natives made them uglv enemies. They were disgusted with the idea, of endeavoring to retain the islands Of 700 volunteers who came home on the" transport with them, '-40 were to sick too vote. The remaining 640 took a straw ballot on the presi dential election; Of the 640, 540 were for Bryan, a fact that shows what' later returning volunteers think of imperialistic policy. L A FILIPINO SECRET SOCIETY.. The young soldier ridiculed the statement that ronly one small tribe of Filipinos opposed our rule. r-I know .better," he said, "for J have been there. They told us the same thirig when we were in the army. They told us. that in the next prov ince we would find enemies of the -Tagals who would attack them in the rear while we attached from . iu front. After passing into the next province we were told that it .'was just ovetthe line-in to the next prov ince where were the tribes to aid us. Andfio it went.' We marched 110 miles into the interior, and, the further we went the farther away were the tribes that were to aid lis, and the more numerous became hostile Filipiuos. All these state ments about division among the tribes is rot, madeby administration puppets for campaign purposes." One secret society among the Tagals, the speaker said, contained . 800,000 able bodied Filipinos, and each was sworn to fight till death for free dom. Of the Tagals- and another tribe there are 5.600,000, and all of them, on account of the deception practiced upon them, hate the present administration worse than they hated the government of Spain. '""'' . FIKTNG THE FIRST SHOT. A Most interestingly- the young soldier told of the capture of the city of Manila, and of the events that led to hostilities between the Americans and the Filipinos. The Filipinos had been our allies, he said.; They were familiar with the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and had no idea that we. expected to claim sovereignty over their country. They had" been for thirty years fighting a single - continued war for freedom, and they thought now, with American aid, their time had come. They thought we only wanted a coaling station, and were willing to give it and to co-operate with us. Suddenly, and without reaon,they were arbitrarily ordered to move back two mile3 from the city, the samecity in whose capture they had aided. They, however, acquiesced. - Then came news of a proclamation of the president an nouncing that we were to hold the islands. Intense disappointment and bitterness seized, them, and they tailed of war. Aguinaldo coun seled peace and moderation. About the came time, half a dozen Filipinos-passed within the two mile zone and were fired upon by Amer ican een tries. One of -them was killed. .;-ti:.:-";.--7 ::' o-.:v- "This was the first blood shed in the war, in which 5,000 American soldiers and 30,000 Filipinos have died. . Two days after hostilities began, Aguinaldo asked the Amer ican commander for peace, but it was refused. The war could have been stopped there, or; it might have been averted.but for the ambi tious policy .that prevailed at Wash ington. "And"exclaimed the ex cited speaker, "there i3 not an- Am erican volunteeron thegroundthat paid slighest attention to passing events, but that, knows this to be true, only .too truev'. ,.;' y: HOW POOR JOE BERRY. MED. Sanders gave a pathetic descrip tion of the death of Joseph Berry, son of Conductor Berry, killed in one of the engagements: "I saw the rich American blood oozing from his mouth and nostrils. I saw his eyes, fast glazing with the stare of approaching death: I saw them turn from' one to another in mute appeal for us with a rifle shot to end bis horrible agony. I saw this with my own bedimmed eyes while I thought of the home in Ore gon, eoon to be crushed and broken by news that the absent boy was -no more. We asked him what to tell his mother, and Vthe answer: 'Tell her I died happy" brought the tears to every eye and a. great throb to each soldier's breast. - When I have seen withmy own eyes such scenes, scenes whose awful recollection will cling to me through life, how can I be expected to approve of a war of cop- quest in which thousands of American J lives are oeing sacrmcea to eausry tne lust of a gang of politicians and ad venturers for bootv and plunder?" I deny the light of any administrative officer to call upon the fathers and mothers of this country ;' to yield up their noble sons in a cause so mercen ary, so tmholy, so despised by a righteous and eternal God." -.' - ' During the impassioned ' appeal of Mr.-Sanders a deep silence pervaded the room, and a tremendous burst of applause followed its conclusion. ; : , JUDGE STUART'S ADDRESS. J Not less effective was the address of Judge Stuart. It was necessarily brief, on account of the limited time that remained. " It was ten o'clock I i , 1 1 ' - ' TT! ' wnen ne oegan speaking. rxis re- i mams aeau jargejy mm irusis, though he spoke brkflv of imperial ism, tils style was jpoiisnea, lorce tui and enective, ana ne was ac corded closest attention. Judge Stuart said that his party made no war on capital. He had - relatives and friends who were bankers and capitalists. They were as honest and as good as any other class of people; but he denied that aa a class they had a monopoly of the virtuesof humanity.,. He wanted capital to have qn exactly equal right with the masses a"nd with la bor; but he wanted it to have no special privilege; no undue advan-. tage. That, he said was the posi tion of Mr.-Bryanand of those who supported him.: It was the position of Abraham Lincoln and of -Jefferson, and of all other men whose names and deeds adorn the pages of American history: QUESTIONS ABOUT PROSPERITY. Concerning prosperity, he Baid: Can a . farm be sold at a higher price than two, three or four years ago? Does the wheat from that farm bring a higher price? Can town lots be sold easily, and do they bring higher figures than formerly ? I don't know whether they do or not. Let each man take these ques tions home to himself and answer them. Is not the crv of prosperity a fake, an unfulfilled boast, an empty sound? Di farmers, me chanics and laborers have money to lend to their neighbors? Is it easy for them to pay. their taxes? These are the true tests of prosperi-' ty. Sheep are high priced in Ore gon, aud so are cattle. There are nine million less head of cattle in the country now than tep years ago. The great free ranges are exhausted. They were giving out when cattle went down in price a number of years ago, and the unprecedented sales then make scarcity and high prices now. McKinley did not make the cattle high. If " so, why did he not make them higher, or make wheat high? He did not make sheep high. The Oregon price is far above ; that in other states. It is a local demand, tem porary only, because wheat farmers are seeking and handling more sheep. The price will decline, no matter who is elected president. - , WHAT A. WOEKISOilAN SAID. Judge Stuart dwelt at some length on trusts. Their increase in the last four years was amazing. Their pow er to fix prices covered nearly all the necessities of life. To Judge Stuart a Portland working-man had said : Mr toe dinner pail was full It was made, of tin from the tin trust,, sclder ed with solder from the solder trust; the bale was made of the wire from the wire trust; inside was beef from the Union meat, trust, salted with salt from the salt trust; . the cracker in it was from the cracker trust, the cover was fastened on with leather from the leather trust, and he intend ed to throw the whole thing into the river for the sucker trust." : BAETEHING HUMAN LIFE. -. Judge Stuart' closed with a des criptive reference to the treaty of the United States with the Sultan of Sulu. He read from the document various sections. One provided for the payment by the United States of $250 per month to "his royal highness the Sultan," and for each of his numerous dattoes- from $75 to $150 per month. Another provided for- the protection of "his royal highness," the Sultan, in all his, r tes, his religion, and other privileges, in luding the right to po lygamous marriage and to keep slaves. Another provides that Americana can purchase land in the Sulu islands by first making arrangements with "his royal h'ghness, the Sultan" and then completing the purchase with the own er of the land. The first privilege gives the right to the Sultan to accept bribes in the purchase, and the other prepares the way for American ad venturers and syndicates to . buy up great land tracts in the iddnds. The speaker" adverted to the recent state ment by Frank Carpenter in the Ore gonian, describing how any man could buy a Solu girl for his slave for prices from $6 to $15,according to her beauty. This traffic in human blood and vir tue, the speaker declared, was. recog nized, permitted and abetted by the provisions ot this im fa mo us treaty, which bore the official signature and seal of the United States of America. It bore the signatute of William Mo Kinley, president of the United States. It is a contract that is binding and. from which the United States cannot retire, and is ia honor: bound to res- pect-. jltcommitted the . sovereign people of the United States to a polii cy of recognirion and of sanction of the infamous traffic in human life and female virtue, prevalent in the 150 thickly populated and.polygampus isl ands of the Sulu Archipelago. . -: " Judge Stuart's startling narration of the facts was received by the audi- " - . . . ence id profound and signifloant sil enCe.a silence eloauent of riopnrar.tPrl impression, .
