A REMARKABLE SPEECH
BOOT SHOWS UP HOLXOWNESS OF
BRYAN'S JLOGUaECTrrS.
Filipino Testimony to Falseness of
"Anti-Imperialist" Asanniptlo
Brran'i Remedy- tox Trust.
EIQhi Boot, the Secre-tary of "War, to Ma
speech In Canton, O., October 2t, put the
Democrats end other follower of Bryan
on the defensive. He said:
A. heavy burden of -proof rests upon
those who ask the American people to re
ject the further servioee of the Republican
Administration. Under that Administra
tion the legitimate objects of government
hare been attained to a degree -which chal
lenges comparison with the happiest perl
ods In the life of any nation in any age.
Never In human history anywhere on
earth have security for life and property.
unfettered opportunity for intelligence
and energy, individual freedom end the
eerf-respect of manhood attained a higher
level than, sow marks the condition of
this fortunate republic.
The material results of irtee and suc
cessful government are visible on every
band. We never before have had 00 many
million people o-vrodng their own homes
unencumbered, so many million people
Trtth accumulated earnings In savings
banks, such universal employment of labor
eX such good wages, such abundant pro
duction from farm and factory and work
shop of -all material things which meet
the necessities and contribute to the com
fort end pleasure of life. The markets for
our products ere- extending over the whole
earth.
Of coarse, this happy condition has not
been ereatod by Government, but without
trood government It could not have been
created.
Government does not make enterprise;
but wise government evokes enterprise by
the certainty of reward for Its activity.
Prosperity does not come by chance.
After a brief review of the Spanish "War
end the suppression of the Tagal re
bellion in the Philippines, Secretary Root
turned to the Chinese situation and said:
When the Democratic Convention met at
Kansas City In July last, all Europe be
lieved that dreadful massacre had swept
Into oblivion all the Ministers and Lega
tions of the civilized world in Pekln; but
American, diplomacy opened the sealed
gates of the Tartar City and revealed to
the world the representatives of civiliza
tion living, defending themselves against
almost overwhelming hordes, under con
stant Are of shot and shell, with ammuni
tion and food nearly gone, hoping, but
almost despairing, for the relief which
never would have come but for American
faith and American" persistency.
Then American soldiers and American
sailors pressed for rescuo. for Immediate
movement, and now, the Legations saved,
we continually press for peace and reason
ableness and Justice. I think we may
safely say that during all this trying time
In China not one act of wrong or in
justice, and not one moment's faltering
In the assertion! of American rights mars
our record.
What Bryan "Would Do.
Bryan and his associate leaders, who
would make up his Administration If he
were elected, are not convinced. They do
not accept the verdict of 1S96. They in
tend now, as they intended then, to put
this country on a silver basis by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1C to 1; to sacrifice our National
honor and credit, and substitute in the
wagos of labor, and the payment of honest
debts, the 50-cont dollar in place of the
dollar worth 160 cents the world over,
under which all our prosperity has been
, attained.
They intend now, as they intended then,
to destroy the protective tariff, which they
deolare to be uncLiwUtutional. nnd subject
our manufacturing industries again to the
fate which tefeli them under the Wilson
tariff. Thoy intend now, as thoy intended
then, to depriv. f power that great bul
wark of constitutional liberty the Federal
Judiciary. They s.ek now, as they sought
then, to excite arimosltics and foment
discord among the people; to deceive by
false promises cf the demagogue, jnd to
profit themselves by creating a warfare of
class against claw The issues of ISM
remain epen, atoned insisted upon.
Th-ey have inverted a new issue which
thoy call "imperialism." and upon, this Is
sue the; ask the ieop'e to give them the
power to do all tint the people refused n
1S to let them rto. "This." says the
Knis CJty platform, "we regard as the
paramount iseue of th campaign." To
this Air. Bryan pract.call confined nim
elf In hi speech of acceptance.
What is the meaning of paramount Is
sue? "U hat becomes of other issues when
on is paramount? We should naturally
suppose that to trest one particular issue
as peruraoun irwolved leaving all other
questions in abeyance and undetermined,
to be tnkin up and decided at rome future
time hn the one all-important ind burn
ing question has ben disposed of. Is that
what Mr Bryan means? Does be mean to
leave the ther ismp of his party in abey
ance, awalilnr future decision? Docs ho
declare n, decs lie leave the possibilitj
of inferem t that his party, if put Into
power at the coml-g election, w'll not act
upon the Iv?r auction, will not net on
the tariff ques'lon. will not act on the
Judiciary question"' No'
H proposes to act. and he will act.
If elected, and a Democratic Congress will
act. if elected, to revcrfc the judgment of
lfi upon every Issue then before the peo
ple. Imperlai'n it, not paramount enough
for him to abar.de n arytbing. It Is not
paramount for hUn. It 13 paramount only
for those who were opposed to him in 1S3G,
and the effect of lt being paramount Is
irrelv that the sound -mc-ner men, the
protective-tariff men. and law-and-order
men of 180R are to abandon, their prin
ciples and the4r convictions, and surren
der u.pon cery issue of the Democratic
platform of 1KMJ.
The charge is that President JIcKlnley
has been guilty of something called im
perialism in his treatment of the people
of the rhlHppn Islands What has
Present McKInley done in the Philip
pines? On Fenmari 6. 1889. tho Senate of the
I'nlted States approved the treaty of
peace with Spein. By the third article of
that treaty. Spain ceded to the United
States the archipelago known as the Phil
ippine Islands; the United States agreed
to pay Spain f.O00,000, and In the ninth
article tho troaty provided that the civil
rights and political status of the native
Inhabitants of the territory ceded to the
United States should be determined by
the Congress.
70 Alliance With Agrnlnnlilo.
Xetfc'ng can be more preposterous than
the proposition that these men were en
titled to receive from us sovereignty over
the entire country which we were invad
ing. As well the friendly Indians, who
have helped us in our Indian wars, might
have claimed the sovereignty of the West
They knew that we were incurring no
such obligation, and they expected no
such reward. Their plan was to obtain
from us arms and ammunition and pro
tection while they collected an army; to
use us to capture Manila, and then to
take it from us by force of arms. In their
vainglorious and half-savage estimate of
their powers they believed they could do
this. They beKeved they could drivo us
Into the sea when the time came, and
their attack upon oar iroops at Manila on
February 4, 1SW, was in pursuance of a
deliberate purpose and long preparation.
Their plan was fully formed befere they
left China, and it was with truly Oriental
treachery In thelt hearts that they ac
cepted the hospitality and the assistance
of our Navy.
In denying that the United States Gov
ernment or any of Its representatives
made any alliance with! Agulnaldo, Sec
retary Hoot said:
We have In our possession an original
document, signed by ilabinl, the presi
dent of Agulnaldks Cabinet, lu chief ad
viser, and the brains of the Insurrection.
It Is & paper of Instructions to a com
missioner sent upon a secret mission by
the Insurgent government, dated Janu
ary 4. 1893, and Among Its statements of
fact for the commissioner's guidance la
found the following:
'The chief of tho Philippine peoplo
has not made any agreement with the
Government of the United States, but
Inspired by the same idea of destroying
tho sovereignty of Spain In these Islands
they have mutually assisted each other.'
Consent of the Governed.
Nothing can be more misleading than
a principle misapplied. Countless crimes
have been committed by men quoting
texts of Scripture or maxims of political
philosophy wrested from their true con
text and meaning. The doctrine that
government derives Its Just powers from
the consent of the governed was appli
cable to the conditions for which Jef
ferson wrote it, and to the people to
whom he applted rt It is true wherever
a peoplo exists capable and willing to
maintain a Just government, and to make
free, intelligent and efficacious decision
as to who shall govern. But Jefferson
did not apply It to Louisiana. He wrote
to Gallatin that the people of Louisiana
were as Incapable of self-government as
ohUoren, and ho governed them without
their consent.
Lincoln did not apply K to the South,
and tho great struggle of the Civil War
was a solemn assertion by the Anterlcan
people that there are other principles of
law and liberty which limit the applica
tion of tho doctrino of consent. Govern
ment does not depend upon consent. Tho
Immutable laws of Justice and humanity
require that people shall have govern
ment, that the weak shall be protected,
that cruelty and lust shall be restrained,
whether there be consent or not.
The true Question in the Philippines
was whether the withdrawal of the Span
ish power which we had destroyed left a
people capable of establishing and main
taining a free constitutional governafnenti
whether the humble and peaceful Inhab
itants who constituted the great mass of
tho population were competent to protect
themselves; whether the wealth and com
merce of Manila, the merchants from all
the nations of Europe who were guth
ered there, the producers of hemp and
tobacco and rice, would be protectetd by
a rule of law and order and Justice, o
whether, on the other hand, the people.
Incapable of governing themselves, would
become the subjects of a dictatorship or
and prey of bloody discord.
Let me read you what high authority
declares as the universal lesson of hlstory
regarding the people of countries situ
ated as are these Islands when left 10
themselves. In a speech en the annexa
tion of Santo Domingo, in the Senate
of the United States, January 11, 1871,
my friend, CMr. Schurz, who now charge
that it was cruel Injustice not to-leave
the Filipinos to govern themselves with
out control or guidance, said:
"Read that history, read that of all
other tropical countries, and then show
me a single Instance of the successful
establishment and peaceful maintenance
for a respectable period of republican
institutions, based upon popular self
government, under a tropical sun. To
show me one, do not confine your search
to the West Indies; look for It anywhere
else on tho face of the globe in tropical
latitudes. I challenge Senators to point
their fingers to a single one. There is
none, sir! . . .
"The tropical sun Inflames the imagi
nation to Inordinate activity and devel
ops the government of the passions. The
consequences are natural, and there is
a tendency to govern by force Instead
of by argument; revolutions are of chron
ic occurrence, like volcanic outbreaks,
and you will find political life continu
ally oscillating between two extremes
liberty, which there means anarchy, and
order, -which there means despotism."
The recond specification underthecharge
of Imperialism is In substance that the
exercise of government must be over the
people of the Philippine Islands as sub
jects, if not as citizens, and that this
exercise of power over others will be de
structive to our National character and
Institutions.
Government of Philippines.
The g"vcm-"rnt of :h Phl'lp-v!n Island?
nil! not affect the character of
our institutions, but the character of
our institutions will de'erm'ne and muld
the government of the Ph'lipplne Islands.
To govern as a despot would be fatal
to the character of a republic, but to
govern as Congress always has and al
ways will govern in territory outside ot
the limits of the states. In accordance
with the spirit of our institutions, sub
ject to all the great rules of liberty and
right, and responsible for every act to a
groat, llberty-lovlng people, can but ex
tend and strengthen our Institutions.
"You are dolrg what England did when
we rebelled against taxation without re
resentatlon." says Mr. Bryan. Strange
perversion. It was taxatlrn for tho bene
fit of England against which we rebelled
Where has there been a dollar taken by
taxation for the benefit or use of tho
United States from any island ceded by
Spain? There has been no taxation in
the Philippines or in Porto Rico except
the ordinary taxes which the people have
paid for the support of their own gov
ernment, and the expenses of maintaining
law and order and education among
themselves.
Our opponents will not believe any of
the American officers, civil or military,
in the Philippine Islands, or all of them
put together, when they tell us that the
great mass ot the people cf those islands
are favorable to American rather than to
Tagal rule.
It Is sold that we have not acted fair
ly toward the people of Porto Rico. The
charge has no foundation, unless in ig
norance or malice. We have given to the
peoplo of Port" Rico the most mun'flcent
gift ever conferred upon one people by
another the free markets of the United
States. The President recommended that
the customs duties between the United
States and Porto Rico should be removed,
and Congress passed a law providing for
their removal. It provided for tho imme
diate removal of 85 per cent of the duties
under the Dingley tariff, and for the re
moval of the remaining 15 per cent when
ever the people of Porto Rico should be
able by any other form of taxation to
pay for the support of thetr own govern
ment, with the proviso that at ihe end cf
two years this remnant of duties should
cease absolutely, whether the Porto Ri
cans supported their own government or
not We receive none of the duties. Tha
duties collected at both ends of the line
are paid into the treasury of the Island.
I know of no reason why the Porto
Rlcans should not pay for their own
courts and schools and police.
Mr. Bryan says that trusts have grown
to an unprecedented degree during the
present Administrator!. Yes, the great
industrial enterprises which are opening
the whole world to American markets,"
which are sending near J6W,000,000 or
American manufactures abroad during
this year, to pay the wages and srell
the savings bank accounts of American
laborers, have grown beyond precedent.
Some of them are monopolies and ought
to be suppressed. Most of them have no
element of monopoly whatevor except
that which comes from selling cheaper
than other competitors, and that Is not
monopoly but competition.
Bryan, and Trusts.
The trouble with Mr. Bryan's treat
ment of trusts Is that he treats them
not as a matter of business, but as a
matter of politics, and he thinks that a
general and indiscriminate denunciation
of these great industrial enterprises which
are employing the labor and Increasing
the wealth of America Is a good campaign
cry.
Ho has proposed two remedies for
trusts; one is an amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States, placing
the control of thira in the Federal Gov
ernment; the other Is a law forbidding
any business concern manufacturing in
one state from selling or transacting any
business connected therewith in another
state without a license from authorities
In Washington. - Shade of Jefferson! What
doctrines are these to be preached in thy
name? This Is ""Imperialism" Indeed.
This would concentrate In the Govern
ment at Washington entire and absolute
control over every busnicss Interest in
the country, for no business above the
dignity of the retail store Is confined
within the limits of any state. The sum
mary Judgment of the dfficer who must
issue or withhold the license would con
stitute a power for favoritism and op
pression appalling to contemplate. Such
destruction of state rights, such center
ing of power ln the Federal Government,
has never before been suggested. Com
ing from the Democratic party It is
grotesque and absurd. No party will ever
seriously consider it It Is but the crdde
and Inconsiderate suggestion of a cam
pagln orator, designed for oratorical uses
only.
It Is charged that the present Admin
istration Is in favor of Increasing the
regular Army, and this is said to be mili
tarism, a crime that endangers the lib
erty of tha Republic.
What is the regular Army of the
United States? It is a body of American
citizens provided for by tne Constitution
to be always ready to- fight for their
country In any sudden emergency which
may come upon ub before there Is time
to raise a volunteer force. The kind
of emergency which the regular Army
has to meet Is well Illustrated by re
cent events in China.
The authorized number of the regular
Army today is 65,000, but on June 30 next
It will, unless there be further legislation
in tho meantime, be reduced to 27,600.
SOLDIERS' REPUBLICAN
RALLY.
All soldiers who have fought for their
country on home and foreisn battle
fields, and their families, will Join in a
Republican rally, Under the auspices ot
the McKInley and Roosevelt Veteran
Soldiers' Club, at the Tabernacle this
evening. Let there be a great turn
out of soldiers, as a protest against
hauling down the flag.
substantially the number at which It has
stood for the past 27 years, but as the
country has grown in its population and
Its multitude of Interests as our sea
coast fortifications have been increased,
under the leadership of Samuel J. Tllden,
and upon plans prepared by the first Ad
ministration of Cleveland, as the art of
war has become more scientific and com
plicated, more men are necessary to per
form the same duties than were able to
perform them years ago.
The Army of 27,500 is only about one
third as large In proportion to our popu
lation as our Army was 30 years ago.
The question how large the Army should
be is a simple business question as to
how many men are necessary to perform
certain specific duties. The last Congress
fixed upon 100,000 in view of the conditions
then existing. The next session of Con
gress will probably determine how many
are requisite under the conditions then
existing. Specially belligerent people will
probably ask for too many; specially
economical Congressmen will probably
Insist upon too few. I think we can as
sume that about the right conclusion will
be reached.
The Opposition to McKInley.
To whom Is the American people ex
pected to commit the momentous Interests
which It Is asked to take away from
President McKInley, but to motley and
Incongruous crowd gathered from three
parties, agreeing upon no single principle
or policy except the free coinage of sil
ver, and held together only for campaign
purposes, by sympathy of common detrac
tion against all the glorious achievements
of American progress under both political
parties during the past generation? They
are peddlers of political discontent wh.,
with shifty eyes for the prejudices of
each community, draw from their pack
anti-trust arguments for expansionists,
antl-expanslon arguments for sound
money men. and anti-gold arguments for
silver men; and always and everywhere
seeking to stir up bitterness and hatred
by Americans against Americans.
They seek to substitute for the old and
happily-ended conflict of section against
section a new conflict of class against
class. They strike at the. root of free
government, with the delusive promises
of the demagogue, leading the poor and
the unfortunate to look to government
rather than to intelligence and thrift to
make them rich and strong. They strike
at the life of enterprise by challenging
the right of the successful to the fruits
of enterprise.
The strength of free institutions in
America has rested for all these genera
tions upon the fact that there were no
classes in America; that all men were
equal before the law equal in the rights
of citizenship, equal in the dignity of
manhood, unfettered In the pursuit of
limitless opportunity; that the poor and
humble today, having the qualities of In
telligence and enterprise, are the rich and
powerful tomorrow; that the rich and
powerful today, lacking these qualities,
are the poor and humble tomorrow; that
all over the land the poorest workmen
who may no longer seek to change their
own condition are looking with pride and
hope upon their boys starting out upon
their careers with advantages their fath
ers never had, with open pathways to
distinction and wealth.
With these conditions, which have al
ways existed, and which exist today,
there Is no such thing as class. No gulf
divides American, citizens from each
other. There is but one ideal, one title
of honor, of pride and of mutual respect
the ideal nnd the title of American citi
zenship. All this these men would de
stroy In order that they may ride Into
power as the governors of an unhappy
and discordant people.
AMUSEMENTS.
"The 'Wife" n the Metropolitan.
Belasco & Mills' famous siclety drams.,
"The Wife." was put on at the Mtrcpol
itan last night in very acceptable form by
the Dalley company. The play wen new
friends and many plaudits for the mem
bers of the clever little company. There
was a big midweek audience, for this play
holds many a spectator who has previous
ly enjoyed Its performance. Although
"The Wife" has been seen In Port'and
before, never was It better appreciated.
The first-night performance showed the
Dailey company's familiarity with the
piece.
Stanley Ross as Robert Gray. May Nan
nary as Helen Freemen the .only daugh
ter Prayse Mackaye as Matthew Culver.
Louis Belmour as Major Putnam, and
W. H. Davenpct as John Rutherford, of
the New York Senate, carrlrd the heavy
roles in the play. Miss Nannary as Helen
Freemen fully Justified the high opinion
previously expressed of her versatility,
and her emotional lines were well de
livered. The third act was productive of
many recalls.
"The Wife" will be produced but one
more night It will be followed tomor
row night by "The Lost Paradise." a par

THE WEST-BOUND TARIFF
EASTERW JOBBERS TRYING TO GET
INTO "WESTERN TERRITORY;
Conference Between Northern Paci
fic And Great Northern Officials
'and Chleago-St. Louis Men.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 3L The jobbing In
terests of the Middle West Is vitally con
cerned In a conference which was held
today In St. Paul between traffic officials
of the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern and representatives of Chicago and
St Louis. Conditions governing the trans
continental traffic were discussed, reviv
ing the questions of the East against 'tho
remote West, which two attempts of the
Interstate Commerce Commission have
failed to settle.
There were present at tho conference
C. Xt Parker and J. J. Walt, represent
ing the Jobbing Interests of Chicago, and
F. N. Johnson, for the Business Men's
League, of St Louis, with their attor
ney, Mr. Christie. The two Coast lines
were represented by Vice-President Han
naford and the assistant general freight
agent of the Northern Pacific and the
president and the general traffic manager
of the Great Northern. The conference
was in the office of tho latter. The Job
bers wont the "present unreasonable dif
ference between carload nd less than
carload class and commodity rates re
moved," and a reasonable difference es
tablished. Thoy Are not satisfied with the
tariffs of the northern lines. The question
will be, bitterly contested when again
brought before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and If the latter board takes
a hand in the fray the effect may be felt
by the entire Jobbing Interest of the East
and Middle West and Pacific Coast The
Middle West Is urging concessions that
will permit It to go into the territory now
protected for the Paclfl6 Coast Jobbers.
Trouble In the Imxnlarrant Pool,
CHICAGO. Oct 3L No agreement as to
the future division of immigrant traffic
was reached today at the conference be
tween Traffic Manager Kerr, of the Cana
dian Pacific, and passenger officials of
ihe Western lines In 'the Immigrant pool.
The Canadian Pacific wonts a share of
the Immigrant traffic out of Atlantic
ports in the United States, but does not
want to give the other roads a share of
the traffic from Canadian ports. Tha
Western roads want to divide the busi
ness of all ports or none. An agreement
will not be effected until tho arbitrator
chosen by the presidents of tho interested
roads decides whether the Canadian Pa
'dflc, under the pooling agreement, Is en
titled to certain traffic, representing about
$115,000. The Western roads took the
business and do not want to divide the
profits with tho Canadian Pacific.
