Opposed to Gold Mooo-metallism. Be lieves in the Bimetallic Standard. Thinks we Ought to Take Care of our own People Before Annexing Hawaii. Has no use for Marcus A. Hauna. THE MVINO ISSUE. The money issue is the one of su preme importance in the eastern elections this autumn and will be the leading issue in the presiden tial elections of 1900. There can be no getting away irom this fact. Whether bimetallism carries the fall elections or not, the' issue can not be buried. It is simply pre posterous to assume that the mon ey question can be obliterated as the issue of paramount importance. Had the ultra-gold advocates been less broad in their sweeping de mands after -McKinley 's election; . had they even been less demagogic in their 1896 platform, which grant ed the justice of free coinage by asking for international bimetal lism, there might now be some hope that the single standard could weather the storm. It is not enough for politicians to point to Oregon as a criterion for the death of bimetallism, for one might with equal consistency and with a neat er degree of logic point to the Ala bama success upon the Chicago platform in the election ef a few days back, in the face of a war which must naturally help the re publican platform. With future discounts expand ing each year, with population in creasing; with industry and pro duction augmenting, there is no use for our goldite friends to work toward cheapening all other prop erty than the dollar or the secur ity calling for the dollar. While it is true that prices for wheat had advanced as a result of crop con ditions, and that the advance had much to do with the Oregon" elec tion, aided by the War sentiment, the geldites have seen that prices are now receding to normal, thus making prosperity to the powers with dollars, or loans well secured. So, they now want to switch the issue to a fight against anti-imperialism, but it is history that no " people can twice be gudgeoned by false bait. Wheat is now nowhere near where it was before Mr. Cleveland went out of power, and the cry of "protection" can no longer gull the thinking American farmer to vote for the further debasement of Amer ican product. The people are be ginning to see the motive of the sole gold standardists. They be gin to realice that it is not a polit ical question, but a commercial matter, with those on one Fide who favor debased product and a good or better dollar which will buy more toil and product, as against those whose benefit obtains through pro duct reaching profitable prices. While no one questions the honesty of the eastern farmer who votes to beat down the value of that which he produces,one can but sympathize with the unfortunate who builds his own undoing. That the bimetal lists shall make great gains in the east this fall goes without saying. There is but one way to avert bi metallic successes and that is for Young Leiter or some one else to corner the wheat market and that is often disastrous and may not work the second time. When we had whipped Mexico, in order that we might retain Tex as, ana the City of Mexico had sur rendered to General Scott, why did we not keep Mexico and not - have 60 years later, a lousy silver stand ard countrv at our doors? Here is a Fillipino for our friends who de sire to take the Phillipines to our bosoms. MANILA V8 YORKTOWN. The French army outnumbered Washington's army at Yorktown and it was backed by a then power ful fleet. When Cornwallis laid &jm bis arms it would have been ysr? sy for Lafayette to have XZtit the colonies a French depend- ency. This, then, would have been a parallel to what many of our friends of the press want to do with the Phillipines, who have 40 or 50 thousand in the field. Let Uncle Sam have Manila and the harbor und Aguinaldo will do the rest, or let Aguinaldo have it all. We were at war with Spain when Dewey took the harbor. France was at war with England when the French helped us to liberty. The parallel is not as dim as it might be. By the way, what has become of bro ther Abner McKinley? NO PRECEDENT. Our great statesmen who have been citing "Florida, Louisiana and Cal ifornia." as precedents for the an- j negation, by right of conquest, of the Phillipines, are entirely out of the latitude of logic and there is, nor can then be, no possible com parison. The accessions upon which they predicate their deduct ions were naturally in line of un ion; they were border territory; they were all filled by our kinds of people; they traded with us; had imbibed our ideas; and not being able to stand out against invasion should they have desired self gov ernment, their addition to the un ion was the natural solution of loca tion, position and condition. Not so, however.with the Phillipines. While it undoubtedly appeals to the van ity and pride of man to pose as a warrior wanting prize money or its equivalent in lands and chattels t 1 . i 1 i.i i h wnnsi n aououess is unpopular tor a westerner to talk against that which is merely thought to be a benefit to our great jobbing centres; whilst it will draw criticism from those who want the Phillipines as a matter of political glorification, for all these things, there are nianv reasons why Mr. McKinley's prop osition is a sound one. With a na val station taking in Manila, Ca vite and Subig harbors and the city of Manila, there can be no rea son why American jobbers will not control the trade of the East In dies. We will then govern only such as shall come within these im mediate boundaries. With this accomplished, how long will it be until our commerce (with the ex ception of dealing in reservation agents) will be established as fully as though we were owners in fee simple of the whole archipelago? And to the real reason this is ex pressed .by Aguinaldo when he wants to know for what he has been fighting. The Insurgents want, evidently, self government, and any other level headed man in Aguinaldo's position, with an ounce of brain, would have done as he has. It appears that it would be more statesmanlike, and that there would be more real protection in Mr. McKinley's program than there would be in arbitrary posses sion of the islands with several millions of rebels on our hands. When people want a government Of their own if they have any spir it it is a foregone conclusion that they must be whipped before they will be content with anything short of their desires. As to Dewey's victory, it has no more possible bearing on this ques tion of territory than , our fleet's crushing of the Dey in the Mediter ranean nearly an hundred years ago. When a mearure of success is full, good enough is good enough. The man who is insane enough to seriously bellyache about improper appreciation of Dewey's nht is fool enough to wonder why Washing ton didn't demand Canada when he had, with the French army's aid, whipped Lord Cornwallis to a standstill at Yorktown. Spain is whipped and Cuba is freed ; Porto Rico comes to us. It has been a war of retribution. If we are out for more territory we can find a fair field almost any where. And we will suggest to our friends of imperialism that if they can work up the sentiment we will not kick if the country votes to give them arms to go over to Eu rope and lick parasitic royalty to h standstill and reduce the many flags of the world to but one pat tern, the stars and stripes. They can then make high protective tar iff laws in each province and en force the gold standard everywhere. If we are going to be Quixotic for God's sake let us limber up Rosin ante's limbs with the oil of imper ialism, take along a regiment of Sancho Panzas and start out for bigger game than a little single gold standard, knock-kneed, igno rant and bankrupt, though chival rous country with a mutton headed parasite for a king and a bundle of hysteria for Regent. There are oth ersfor instance, let us absorb Canada, A Sl'KNT SHAFT. Whilst we have searched express ions of public opinions very t hor oughly, we do n t find in them the solution of the givit line and cry for '"Imperialism " Some one has evidently blundered and Mr. Mc Kinley must take the wrath ot the political molders. The trouble was here. Spain wanted peace. She eentCambon direct to McKinley so that a proposition could be submit ted before he could have time to call in the Mark Kaunas, the Elk ins, the MeCords, the Simons, Et cetera, and get his winters and Mr. Cambon blandly asked for an ulti matum at once. He cot it before the politicians could stick their fin gers in the diplomatic pie; The howl for retention of the Phillipines commenced as soon as it was known the Frenchman had seen the pres ident. It was too late. He had forwarded a draft of the real con ditions made by McKinley. It was then too late to recant. Here, it appears, is a reasonable hypothesis to t lie whole howl and halloa: The politicians wanted the administration to ask so much of Spain that the terms would mean a continuance of fighting and this would have insured the "stand by the administration'" cry and the sweeping of the fall elections. But politicians oftirnes overjump them selves and in their "see us gloat" in me iaea oi navmg tneir own way in carrying currency contrac tion appealing to demagogism, they forgot that Spain might sue for peace direct, and so.slept on.through the dawn of golden opportunity. Spain didn't get so hard a propos ition but what 'twas acceptable and the "war" scheme will hot work this fall. Who knows but this is the real cause of the wailing and weeping. HAXXA1TES ALARMED. The goldites are becoming alarmed over bimetallic strength in the south and the enthusiasm with which all bimetallidts in the north are getting together for the fall elections. They see danger in the November vote. They realize that the farmers of the middle states can no longer be fooled with "republi can" prices for grain. Thev can no longer tell him that the administra tion gave him 1897 prices for wheat when he now sees normal conditions and lovy prices, with prospects for lower prices yet. They see that far mers are studying the money ques tion with unabated interest and that the great economic truth that money, as well as commodity, is subject to the law of supply and demand. There are great hopes that the bimetallists will make great gains in the congressional elections this year, and the war, having come to a standstill, can not be worked as a skyrocket to catch the voter. The proposed opening of the India mints at the ratio of 22 to 1 is both ridic. ulous and absurd, and is one of the per ennial frantic struggles of gold standard England to fool her Indian dupes. She should by this time have educated them to the fetich worship, and if they refuse to so be educate, larrup them into belief as did she them out of their possessions. Providence works its Euclids with a a dead mortal cinclie. The Oregonian insinuates that the money power had the president by the kidney and through its influence he had overlooked the advam tages of retaining the Phillipines. This, indeed, is rich, coming from the Oregon ian, which has repeatedly denied such a power and its desires to run government and legislation, TbeUltimatutn is sug gestive of American control of M anila for there is absolutely no other place on Luzon for a naval yard and coaling stat ion. With American control of the cen tre of trade, and insurgent control of the balancs; just where the bondholder with Spanish debits is to get off is not at all problematic. And, coming right down to business, if it be a money power fluke and Spain keeps the Phillipines, where is there will the credit balance come in to pay coupons, after the annual paying of armed forces to keep the insurgents in check.

WRHRUNG and SON, RELIABILITY is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these days of "yellow" journalism. They care little for truth and a great deal for temporary sensation. It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD. The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability. It prints, the news all the news and tells the truth about it ' It is the only American newspaper outside New York city that has its own 'exclusive dispatch boat service and its own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both hemispheres. It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world. Its war news service is unapproachably the best. Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier: "We read the war news in the other papers, then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to see how much of it Is true."
