NEWARK. N. J.. June 20. Governor
Murphy at midnight ordered a. part of
the First Regiment of Infantry and the
entire troop of First Cavalry to Pater-,
son to preserve peace- The Erie Rail
road has been ordered to send trains
here at once. The members of both
commands began to assemble at 1 A.
M. The troops will be put on guard
duty at the mills before they open at 7
o'clock this mornlnz.
PATERSON. N. J., June 13. In the main
this was a holiday in this city. The most
important event Tvas the suspension from
duty of Chief of Police Graul. by Mayor
Hinchcliffe, and the assumption by the
Mayor of the duties of that position. Will
iam McQueen, the Englishman, who was
prominent at the meeting before the riot
ing began yesterday, has left the city and
is believed to be in New York- Galleano,
the Italian, and Grossman, the German,
who are said to have been promlnnet
yesterday, have also kept from public no
itce. Mayor Hinchcliffe wishes to inter
view all these men. Lacking a leader and
keeping out of the heavy rain in the early
part of the day, the rioters of yesterday
did nothing, while a majority of the mills
they closed yesterday by their violence
resumed -work.
The police received orders to shoot
straight if they have another encounter
with the rioters, and the (Mayor has had
copies of the riot act distributed.
This -week's edition of La Questlone
Social. 6ne of the anarchist papers, was
set up here, but was sent to a Passaic
printer to run off the forms. He was
ordered not to handle it, and complied.
Mayor Hinchcliffe, on taking personal
command of the police, had all the
reserves lined up. Then he said to them:
"Men, if your clubs prove useless, you
know what to do. Be aggressive from
the start." In addition to the regular
police force of 104 men, there were sworn
in today 23 Constables, 25 Deputies, and
10 firemen, who are to do duty as police
men. AH these men were lmmedlately
armed with revolvers and night-sticks.
Ten silk-manufacturing firms opened
for work this morning. In each of these
plants every employe was armed with
a revolver. The weapons were supplied
by the men's employers, with the appro
val of Mayor Hinchcliffe. Employes at
other mills were alto armed. No dye
shops started up this morning, as the
men feared violence.
Harry Harris, the reporter, who was
knocked down, beaten and finally shot
with his own revolver by the mob, was
very low today, but hope of his recovers
is still entertained.
Five prisoners are in Jail as the 'result
of yesterday's riot. Of these four are
wounded.
A delegation representing the mlllown
ers called on the Mayor tonight and de
manded prelection. The Mayor replied
that the police force was too small and
vrouia be overrtaeii tiy a mob of. any size,
that it was impossible to concentrate any
great number of men at any point, and
that a large portion of the Deputy Sher
iffs were green hands and unreliable. It
was pointed out that the mlllhands were
afraid to work, and wore In momentary
fear of attack. This resulted in an appeal
to the Governor, who was in Newark, for
troops.
More Mills Close DoTrn.
NEW YORK, June 19. All but three of
the silk mills in Hudson County, New
Jersey, have closed down. About 10,000
hands are, in consequence, out of employ
ment, and within the next 24 hours the
number will likely reach 13,000. The direct
cause of the shutting down- of the mills
was the dyers' strike-riot in Paterson.
The majority of the proprietors of the
silk manufacturing establishments in Hud
son County,, fearing an outbreak of simi
lar trouble here, deemed, as the result of
a conference, to close down indefinitely.
The expected trouble came late In the
afternoon, when a mob of 500 men and
women gathered at Simons' mill, on Union
Hill. Police Captain Knight and his five
men, with a few citizens, kept the mob
in check until the fire department was
called out. The firement turned eight
streams of water on the crowd and scat
tered It. Seventeen people were arrested;
OPPOSE GENERAL STRIKE.
Soft-Coal Miners Against Even a
Partial Suspension.
WIUCESBARRE, Pa., June 19. The ar
rival of President W. R. Russell and Secretary-Treasurer
Wr. D. Ryan, of the Illi
nois miners' organization, for a confer
ence with National President Mitchell was
the only event of any importance around
strike headquarters today. The two Illi
nois leaders arrived at 3 o'clock, and im
mediately went into conference with their
chief, which lasted two hours. President
Mitchell, after the meeting, said the Illi
nois men came to see him for the purpose
of "discussing Western mining matters."
When he was asked what particular mat
ters were talked over, and whether busl
jiebs 'connected with the coming special
National convention was considered, he
replied that he would rather not say any
thing more. Neither Mr. Russell nor Mr
Ryan had anything to say beyond the
statement that they felt well satisfied with
the situation both East and West. They
left for their homes late tonight.
Information has reached here through
different sources that the soft-coal miners
In thp West are not unanimous for a gen
eral strike, and some of them, it is said,
are against a partial suspension. These
men who will oppose a strike are willing
to give financial aid to the anthracite
strikers, but some of the leaders are not
ready to accept this sort of aid.
President Mitchell has been In close
communication with the leaders of the
various districts, and whatever plan they
decide upon will, no doubt, be adopted by
the convention. No radical action, such
as a total suspension of work by the en
tire membership of the organization, is
looked for.
President Mitchell receiyed information
today from West Virginia, which he says
Indicates Jhat the strike there is progress
ing most favorably. He says that more
men are now out in that territory than at
any other time since the strike in tfc
Virginias began. Large gains have been
made, he said, all along the line of the
Norfolk & Western Railroad.
There were no developments in the an
thracite strike today. The canvass to
bring out all firemen and pumprunners
who have failed to respond to the strike
order goes steadily on. Additional men
ere persuaded each day to quit, but the
coal companies say they always have men
on hand to fill their places.
Boilermakers "Walk Out.
OMAHA. June 19. All thebollermakers
on the TJnlon. Pacific from Omaha to'Og-
den walked out today in obedience to the T
order Issued yesterday from the head
quarters of the union. The machinists in
the shops in this city met at the Labor
Temple today and discussed the question
of joining the bollermakers, but decided
to take no action until the Utter had met
with the railroad officials. At Union Pa
cific headquarters it was 'stated that the
road was hiring no men and would not
attempt to do so at present. It was also
said that the road has no disposition to
antagonize the union, and from other
sources it is learned that the road is
ready to treat with Its employes.
Steel Works Increase "Wajrcs.
CHICAGO, June 19. A. general 10 per
cent advance In wares has '"been an
nounced at the Jollet mills of the Illinois
Steel Company. An Increase will also be
made In all departments of the Illinois
Steel Works at 'Chicago.
MANY TIMES REIMBURSED
Uncle Sara's Good Bnrgain. in the
Purchase of Alaska.
WASHINGTON, June 17. "Commercial
Alaska In 1902" Is the title of a mono
graph prepared by the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics for publication in the forth
coming issue of the Monthly Summary.
In this the commercial conditions, oppor
tunities and prospects in Alaska are set
forth, the number of Industries at the
present) time, the routes of travel, the
methods of reaching that once distant, but
now accessible territory, and a summari
sation of the commercial and financial re
sults of ownership of that territory by the
United States.
This statement is presented at the pres
ent moment both by reason of the grow
ing interest in Alaska and especially be
cause of the fact that the Bureau of Sta
tistics Is to publish in future monthly
statements of the commerce of Alaska
with ports of the United States. Here
tofore no detailed statistics of commerce
with Alaska have been obtainable be
cause of the fact that no provision of law
existed for the collection of statistics of
commerce between customs districts of
the United States, and as Alaska was by
law a customs district, such statistics
could not be gathered, under the law.
When the Hawaiian Islands and Porto
Rico were also made customs districts of
the United States and the collection of
statistics of our commerce with those is
lands was rendered Impracticable, a meas
ure providing for the collection of statis
tics of trade between the United States
and all of its non-contiguous territories
was framed by the Bureau of Statistics,
approved by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, sent to Congress, passed, and signed
by the President; and, beginning with the
new fiscal year, the record of trade Be
tween the United States and all of its
non-contiguous territory will be available
In form similar to that of commerce be
tween the United States and foreign coiln
tries. The fact that statistical statements of
the commerce and conditions of Alaska
have not been regularly made In the past
renders the attempt to present a picture
of present conditions in Alaska a difficult
one. Necessarily the Information is frag
mentary. Aside from the statistics of pop
ulation published by the census, and state
ments of the number of fur seals taken by
the lessees of the Pribyloff Islands, the
number of cans of salmon packed, and
the number of fish taken as reported by
the special agent of the Treasury Depart
ment, and the statements of gold produc
tion reported by the Mint Bureau, little
Information of a statistical nature Is avail
able. Even these reports are extremely mea
ger, and in most cases the statements arc
simply those df quantity unaccompanied
by estimates of value. The shipments of
merchandise between the United States
and Alaska have been considered as coast
wise commerce, and no reports of the
value of merchandise so transported have
been made to the collectors; while in
many cases the manifests are so indefinite
In statements of quantity that it has been
found difficult to obtain satisfactory esti
mates in detail of the movements of mer
chandise Into and out of Alaska.
The fluctuation in prices of the seal and
other furs, and the1 salmon and other flehi
which have been, until recent years, the
chief Industries of Alaska, coupled with
the fact that in the official reports only
quantities were stated, have in the oast
rendered detailed statements of values
year by year difficult. The statements
which are presented as to the Industries
and -their result from a financial stand
point are the results of careful inquiries
from collectors of customs, both In Alaska
and the United States by the various Gov
ernors of Alaska and their subordinates
and by the special agents.-of the -Government
appointed to report upon the vari
ous industries.
In general terms it may be said that
Alaska, for which the United States paid
Russia J7.200.000 In 1SG7, has esupplled furs,
fish and gold amounting to about $150,000,
000 in value, about equally divided be
tween these three Items; that the Invest
ments of capital from the United States
In Alaska are probably 525,000,000 with a
large additional sum Invested In trans
portation to that territory and that the
annual shipments of merchandise to Alas
ka, now aggregate more than $12,000,000.
and have aggregated since the purchase
nearly or quite $100,000,000. Meantime the
population has grown from an .estimated
30.003 at the date of purchase to 32.052 in
190. 63,592 in 1900, and an estimated 75,000
at the present time.
The number of fur seals taken on the
Pribyloff Islands from 1870 to 1901 is 2.1S7,
317, of an estimated value of $35,000,000.
and the value of the seal and other fura
taken since the purchase of Alaska by
the United States Is estimated at about
$50,000,000. The fur seal industry, which
has declined In the last few years, was
succeeded by the fishing industry, Alaska
now supplying about one-half of the sal
mon of the country. The value of the
salmon pack in Alaska last year is esti
mated at about $7,000,000, and the total
value of the fish taken In Alaska since
the purchase about J50.0CO.O00; while the
value of gold and silver mined since the
purchase Is about $50,000,003.
A Home Estimate of Mason. '
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The most vociferous In clamoring for
war with Spain. Mr. Mason, was the first
Republican Senator to shirk the conse
quences of that war. The most rampant
in denouncing the McKInley Administra
tion as pusillanimous and cowardly, he
was the first to turn against it for doing
precisely what he had demanded. On his
record, all but a tiny minority of Illi
nois Republicans opposed Mr. Mason's
continuance in the Senate. He had been
weighed In the balance. and found want
ing. He had become a National disgrace.
Had there been the slightest chance of
his re-election, the loyal Republicans of
Illinois would have -risen almost as one
man In revolt

Secretary Root Sends Itemized State
xnent to SenateMuch Cannot Be
Charged to Island "Warfare.
WASHINGTON, . -June 19. Secretary
Root today mado answer to the Senate
resolution of April 17 calling for infor
mation as to the cost of the war in the
Philippines. It is shown that $50,000 was
advanced for the expenses of the Phil
ippine Commission originally from the
United States Treasury this year, but
this amount afterward was reimbursed
out of the Philippine treasury. For the
transportation of troops and supplies to
and from the Philippines since the peace
treaty was ratified the cost has been
$4,803,443. Reports from the various bu
reau officers are submitted to show the
cost of the Philippine war, including out
standing obligations, showing the total
cost to date is $170,326,556. The expendi
tures by years were as follows:
1S9S (two months), May and. June, ex
pended $2,6SG,850; liabilities, nil.

April, inclusive), $34,499,022; liabilities,
$473X30. . .
Total expended, $169,543,510; liabilities.
$473,072.
Secretary Root concludes with the ex
planation: "Attention Is Invited to the fact that
large quantities of valuable property,
such as ships, lighters, etc., horses and
mules, wagons and harness, clothing,
equipment and ordnance, medical, signal
and general supplies, the cost of which
is included In the foregoing statement,
still remain on hand in the Philippine Isl
ands for use. Parts of these supplies are
already being reshipped to this country.
"It should also be observed that a large
part of the expense during the past year
should not properly be treated as occa
sioned by military operations in the Phil
ippines, for the reason that it consists of
pay nnd mantcnancc of troops whom we
would have to pay and maintain whether
they were in the Philippines or not, in
order to keep up the minimum number of
regular troops required by law, as a safe
guard against future contingencies. The
minimum at which the regular Army Is
required to be maintained by the act of
February 2, 1901. Is S2.9S7 men and tho
maximum is 100,030. We now have less
than 10,000 In excess of the minimum
number. The cost of that excess only Is
properly to be stated as occasioned by
operations In the Philippines.
"The present scale of expenses In the
Philippines Is, of course, greatly reduced
from that shown In the foregoing state
ment, because of the continuous reduc
tion of the Army made possible by the
restoration of peaceful conditions. Thus,
in the middle of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1901. there were about 70.000
American soldiers In the islands. That
number is now reduced to about 23,000.
Orders have now been Issued for the re
turn of the Eighth, Fifteenth. Twenty
fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantries and
a squadron of the Tenth Cavalry, and
when these orders have been executed,
the number of American troops in the
Philippines will have been reduced to
IS.000. For the past six months we have
been bringing troops homo as rapidly, as
we could economically by the use of our
own transports."

TO UNITE THE PARTY
(Continued from TIret Page.)
fathers ordained it, and for the purposes
which they sought to. establish; a party
whose conservatism opposes' dangerous
and un-American experiments and yet
puts no barrier in the way of genuine
and safe progress ought to be able to
deal with new icondltlons in a manner
quite consistent with Democratic doctrine
and stimulating to Democratic pulses and
instincts. Let us not forget, however,
that it is not in the search for new and
gaudy issues nor the Interpretations of
strange visions that a strong and healthy
Democracy displays lta splendid power.
Another party may thrive on the ever
shifting treatment of the exr-shlft!ng
moods of popular restlessness, or by an
insincere play upon unreasoning preju
dice and eelfish anticipation but the
Democratic party, never. Democracy has
already In store the doctrines for which
It fights its successful battles, and it will
have them In store as long as the people
are kept from their own, and juet as long
aa tnelr rights and interests are sacrificed
by favoritism in Government care, by in
equality of Government burdens, by the
encouragement of huge industrial aggre
gations that throttle individual enterprise,
by the reckless waste of public money and
by the greatest of all Injuries, as it under
lies nearly all others, a iystem of tarirt
taxation whose robbing exactions are tar
beyond the needs of economical and legiti
mateGovernmcnt expenditures, which pur
chases support by appeals to sordldnees
and greed, which but continually corrupts
the public conscience.
"What but Infatuation with the visage
of defeat can explain the subordination of
these things by Democrats when they pre
pare for battle?
"If we are to have a rehabilitation and
a realignment of our party 'in the sense
suggested. It Is hoped that it might be
done openly, with no mystery or
double mcaplng. Our people are too much
on the alert to accept political deliver
ances they do not understand. The en
thusiasm of the Democratic rank and file
does not thrive on mystery. The Demo
cratic harmony, of which we hear so
much, cannot be effectively constructed
by mathematical Tule, nor by a formal
agreement on the part of those who have
been divided that there shall be harmony!
It grows up naturally when true Demo
cratic principles arc plainly announced,
when Democratic purposes are honestly
declared, when, as a result of those, care
and enthusiasm stir the Democratic blood.
It was such harmony as this, growing out
of such conditions, which, with the battle-cry
of THden and Reform, gave us the
Democratic victory of 1876 against odds
great enough to discourage any but a har
monious Democracy, "and against an or
ganized force brazen and desperate enough
to take from us by downright robbery
what the voters of the land gave to us.
"I believe the times point to another
Democratic opportunity as now at hand,
but I believe we shall reap the fruits or
it only by following the line of conduc
I have Indicated. In any event, I have a
comforting and abiding faith In the inde
structibility of the party which has so
many times shown jts right to live and its
power for good, and I am sure the reserve
of patriotic Democratic wisdom will at the
same time dpclare itself In the rescue of
our country and our party.
"My days of political activity are pasty
and I shall not hereafter assume to par
ticipate In party counsels. I am abso
lutely content with retirement; but I still
have one burning, anxious political aspi
ration. I want to see before I die the
restoration to perfect health and suprem
acy 6t that Democracy whose mission it
is to bless the people a Democracy true
to Itself untempted by clamor unmoved
by the gusts of popular passion, and un
corrupted by offers of strange alliances
the Democracy of patriotism the Democ
racy of safety the Democracy of THden,
and the Democracy that deserves to win
success."
At the point in his speech where Mr.
Cleveland announced his absolute retire
ment from politics, the crowd yelled,
"No, no. no."
Senator David B. Hill, who spoke next,
received almost as enthusiastic applause
as Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Dowllng in Intro
ducing him said:
"Mr. Hill Is today the recognized leader
of his party in New York State, and un
der his guidance and leadership we are
confident of victory."
Senator Hill's Address.
Mr. Hill spoke as follows:
"The signs pf the times point unmis
takably to an awakened interest in the
promotion of success of Democratic prin
ciples of government. These manifesta
tions, however, are not confined within
strict party lines, but renewed activity
in political affairs is displayed as well
among those of Independent proclivities
and among the people generally who are
not satisfied with existing political condi
tions and desire a change of the public
policies now prevailing. There is especial
ly a deep conviction among thoughtful
people that there Is something radically
wrong In the foreign policy of the present
Administration."
Mr. Hill here referred to the recent
speech of Mr. Hoar in the Senate upon
the Philippine question, and said that it
had made a profound and lasting Impres
sion upon the heart and conscience of the
country.
"This great and patriotic speech," con
tinued the speaker, "was not met or an
swered by the partisan address of Presi
dent Roosevelt, delivered on Decoration
day In violation of the proprieties of the
occasion, wherein he purposely or Inad
vertently confused the well-recognized
distinctions which exist between the Ad
ministration and the Governmentbe
tween the Army and the Government,
and between all other officials of the Gov
ernment ami the Government Itself; and
assumed to question the loyalty of those
who have ventured to criticise the cruel
acts of a few officers of the Army, who, If
semiofficial reports are correct, have un
doubtedly disgraced the uniform which
they wear.
"This confusion of the state Itself with
the ruler thereof is not unknown in his
tory. It was Louis XIV who once made
the same mistake, when he assumed to be
France, and uttered the famous declara
tion, 'I am the state,' a remark which
might have lcet him his head in later
times of less despotism; and President
Roosevelt, in another sense, seems to
have already lest his head, when he for
gets that this country differs from both
ancient and modern France, in that here
It is not a crime to criticise the Army
or the President, or any other servant or
servants of the people; and he needs to be
reminded that it Is a Government of law,
a Government under a written Constitu
tion, wherein the right of every citizen to
freely express his sentiments upon admin
istrative questions is' expressly guaran
teedand that loyalty to the Government
does not consist In loyalty to ' Individuals
or to the policies of those who happen to
hold official positions.
"Loyalty to this Government consists In
attachment to our free Institutions in the
faithful observance of Constitutional pro
visions In respect for Its flag as the em
blem of civil liberty in support of the
authorities of the United States against
the attacks of our foreign or domestic
foes; but it does not consist in ostenta
tious professions of 'intense American
ism,' nor Indifference to the preservation
or spread of republican forms of govern
ment anywhere, nor In suppressing free
speech, nor In conquering the free people
of any and distant lands, who desire .to
govern themselves, nor In unlawfully
sending accredited representatives of this
Government abroad without the consent
of the Senate, to witness the coronation
of a King whose monarchical government,
to its shame be it said, has just succeed
ed In crushing the two struggling repub
lics of South Africa. And right here may
I be permitted to suggest that the Admin
istration of President Roosevelt will be
particularly noted as the one due to the

one effort to save them, or one ltlnd word
of sympathy for them In their unequal
struggle, expressed on the part of this,
the greatest republic In the world, whose
Influence should always be exerted on the
side of free Institutions.
"In contrast with that supinq attitude
we should not forget the vigorous and
patriotic action of that Democratic Pres
ident who honors this club with his pres
ence here tonight, who, when that same
mighty Empire of Great Britain in lt93
attempted to crush the Republic qf Vene
zuela, promptly sent that famous message
to Congress which electrified the coun
try, wherein he Insisted that Great Brit
ain must not be permitted, under the pre
tense of a boundary dispute, to seize
Venezuela without first submitting the al
leged difference to arbitration, or else this
Government would Interpose its strong
arm for the protection of that republic.
And that government finally concluded to
arbitrate the dispute, and Venezuela was
saved from destruction."
The ex-Senator then took up the subject
of Cuba, dealing first with the adminis
tration of General "Wood, whom he bitter
ly arraigned. The use of money "for par
tisan and lobbying purposes in aid of
Admlniatratlve measures pending before
Congress." he declared, "eerved to em
phasize the irresponsible and dangerous
character of arbitrary military rule any
where, whether temporary or perma
nent." Discussing the Cuban tariff question,
Mr. Hill said the present controversy in
Cuba over that subject served to illus
trate the "hypocrisy as well as the un
soundness of the whole Republican posi
tion on the suoject of tariff."
"The country ls-just now aroused to the
injustice and enormity of the Dlngley
tariff (which it should not be forgotten
was passed by a Republican Congress and
approved by a Republican President), es
pecially In its application to the sister
Republic of Cuba, and public sentiment
Is apparently demanding that the whole
wrong should be righted, and Instead of
that being proposed to be done, tho sub
ject is being Juggled with in the Senate
and a tub Is proposed to be thrown to
the whale in the shape of an unsatisfac
tory compromise With injustice, whereby
four-fiftha of the official robbery shall be
permitted to remain, not In the interest
of the country, but solely In the interest
of the "preservation of Republican har
mony.' "It Is not believed that it Is the prov
ince of the Democrats in Congress to as
sist In the consummation of any such In
adequate and questionable scheme. Let
the Injustice be wholly or substantially
righted, not by piecemeal legislation, but
by a complete measure based upon sound
Democratic principles and along right
lines. A 'reciprocity measure Is a mis
nomer, which does not contemplate at
least 50 per cent reductlon'of the existing
tariff burdens. "When the people of Cuba
are asking for bread we should not offer
them a stope."
Mr. Hill asserted that the logic of events
had; demonstrated the soundness of many
Democratic contentions of recent years.
He recited that portion of the Kansas
City platform which condemned the Ding
ley tariff law as a trust-breeder, and said
that fhls measure had not only succeeded
in creating more trusts than ever before
In the history of the country, but It has
also succeeded In stifling competition to a
greater extent than was ever known. He
declared furtner tnat It had succeeded IiL
unnecessarily raising the cost of Hying
and had caused more strikes on the part
of the workingmen than at any period
of our history.
Upon the subject of "Democratic unity,"
ho said:
"There is substantial accord among tho
Democrats of the country upon the timely
Issues which are now engrossing public
attention. "We are all united In favor of
the preservation of constitutional liberty
wherever our flag floats. "We are opposed
to the permanent policy of the Govern
ment of the maintenance of dependent
colonics to be governed outside the pale
of the constitution. "We arc all agreed
that the civil should always be superior
to the military power. "We all concur In
the principle that taxation should be Im
posed for public purposes only. "We all
favor freedom of commerce, and therefore
favor genuine reciprocity with foreign
nations, but are all opposed to sham Re
publican reciprocity, which is only an
other name for Republican hypocrisy.
There is no division of sentiment in our
opposition to corporate combinations of
capital which create monopolies, stifle
competition and enhance prices for the
necessaries of life.
"We -all stand for free trade In all arti
cles controlled by the trusts. "We all de
sire justice for Cuba and Justice to the
consumers of the United States, also. We
all stand where Jackson. Benton and TH
den stood In favor of hard money as op
posed to an Irredeemable paper currency.
We all recognize the dignity of labor and
Its right to demand just and adequate
compensation. We -are all opposed to an
Immense standing army in times, of peace.
We are all In favor of the Constitutional
reforms involved In the election of United
States Senators by the people, rather than
by State Legislatures. We all adhere to
that doctrine declared by Jefferson a3
follows: .'Peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations; entangling al
liances with none.'
"With this substantial unity which ex
ists upon these and other fundamental
principles of Democratic faith, to which
I need not refer, we may safely appeal
to the people, and in view of that satis
factory situation, it would be folly longer
to dllvde upon abstract or unreason
able questions."
Mr. Hill concluded his speech with a
welcome to Democrats from other states,
saying:
"The Democracy of this state welcomes
the distinguished citizen of New Jersey,
en
gJa
the only living ex-President of the United
States, who 'testifies by his presence hero
tonight and by his remarks, to which we
have so intently listened, his. interest ig
the success of Democratic principles. "We
should have been glad to welcome that
other distinguished Democrat who halls
from the great West our standard-bearer
in the last two Presidential campaigns
that able and eloquent Democrat, William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, had he been
able to be present on this occasion."
Mr. Hill was followed by Governor Mon
tague, of Virginia, and Colonel William
A. Gaston, of Boston. The speechmakinff
was closed by ex-Mayor Thomas Tag
gart, of Indianapolis, whose address was
necessarily short.
MERCHANTS PROTEST.
Attacks on the Army Injure Pence in
the Philippines.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Congressmen and politiciare seeking par
tisan gain rail continually at our soldiers
In the Philippines, and openly hope they
will fail in their taslw It 13 a .difficult
and unpleasant task at best, but those
who constantly find fault with the way
it must be done are making it harder.
That they are making it harder is shown
by the protest just received in Washing
ton from the Manila merchants against
this fire In the rear of the Army. The
Manila Chamber of Commerce, at a re
cent meeting, passed resolutions asking
"the suspension of the wholesale con
demnation of Army officers," because the
effect of this campaign of abuse had been:
"To demoralize and take the heart out
of the Army on the eve of victory. To
threaten the business interests of th isl
ands, and If persisted in will permanent
ly Injure, if not destroy, these interests,
cause the rehabilitation of the Insurrec
tion, and finally result in the abandon
ment of the American cause in the isl
ands." "When Mr. Bryan and persons of hl3
kind read this protest of the Manila mer
chants, they will doubtless sneer at it
as "mere clamor of the counting-house."
They will airily dispose of it by saying
these merchants are more anxious about
revenue than about right. It Is very easy
to indulge in sneers of that sort. Also,
it Is very cheap.
These Manila merchants have a stake
in the islands. They see ruin staring
them in 'the face if the Army should be
forced by fire in the rear to abandon lt3
task. Some of their motives in making
this protest may be sordid, but they are
face to face with the facts of life and
death. If Mr. Hoar, with all his altru
istic theories, were in their ,places, he
would say just what they say. He would
blttorly resent an agitation that was
threatening him with personal ruin, and
demand that such agitation cease.
Our soldiers in the Philippines are the.
bulwark of civilization against barbar
ism. With all their errors, they are keep
ing the peace and making industry and
education possible. They are wrestling
wltn the facts of life. They are confront
ed not wlfh academic theories, ut with
actual conditions.
Against those who find fault with them,
who see only their errors and Ignore their
achievements, the Manila merchants, in
the light of the facts, file their protest.
It is an entirely justifiable protest, for,
whatever the theoretic benevolence of
their intentions, those who rail at our
soldiers In the Philippines are working
against civilization and for savagery.
