WILLIAM JTKIXLEY,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-President
THCODOKB KOOSEVELT,
Of New York.
The colonies of Franco alone Import
JP.OOO.OQO worth of goods a year. This
helps matsrially to keep the factories
busy, and to afford a market for tht
farm products of that European coun
try.
President McKinley urged that the
duties to be levied under the Dlngley
tarlf hould "revive and Increase man
ufactures." This has been done, as
cur wage-earn ?rs well know.
I-urlng the fiscal year Just closed
our foreign commerce far exceeded that
of any previous year, while American
vessels carried a smaller proportion of
it than ever before.
The carrying of our vastly Increas
ed foreign commerce benefits only for
eign vessels, to which the American
people pay over $200,000,000 each year in
freight charges alone.
The American claim to unrestricted
facilities of trade in China was based
on treaty rights, which were about to
be ignored? whsn our claim was made
and secured.
The United Kingdom sells to her col
onies 142-1,112,101 worth of goods every
year. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
, .WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE?
Philadelphia Times.
We have the most appalling story of
the indiscriminate and barbarous
butchery of foreigners In the Chinese
capital. It is possible that later re
ports may somewhat temper the fiend
ish story, but it may be accepted that
many hundreds, and probably thous
ands, cf lives of Innocent men, women
and children, foreign residents of Chi
na, have been sacrificed by the Chi
nese troops. Who are responsible for
this fearfully crimsoned record that
blots the civilization of the evening of
the nineteenth century?
. The responsibility for this bewildering
pacriflee of life rests squarely upon
the powers of the world, which precipi
tated war upon the Chinese troops at
Taku. At that time no one of the
governments had Information of the
sacrifice of life or property of any of
their citizens; and all must have known
that when they first assumed the right
to control the attitude and action of
the Chinese troops, and afterwards de
stroyed their forts, they committed an
pxt of war and thus Invited the
barbarian, according to his Immemorial
teachings, to crucify every foreigner
within his realm. The precipitation cf
war with China by the armed powers,
before they had forces in position to
defend their citizens, made the mur
der of their residents in China the log
ical result
It will not do to plead as an ex
cuse for this act of the allied powers
that the Chinese have violated all the
laws of civilized warfare by the mur
der of foreign residents. They are not
n civilized people; they do not recog
nize the laws of civilized warfare; they
murder and destroy when they are vic
tors, and thpy are murdered and their
lands laid waste when they are van
quished by their own kind. Knowing
the war policy of the Chinese, the al
!'d powers, who practically declared
war when their citizens In China were
unprotected and helpless, are fairly
responsible for the fearful butcheries
which have followed.
Admiral Kempff is the one naval
commander of ;he allied powers whp
proved to the country and to the world
that he was thoroughly capable for
the responsible task assigned to him.
Ho declined to commit any Sot of war,
and dhe Buna of his" fleet were silent
when the war vets 'Is of the other ra
tions wre destroying the Chinese
forts: but later, under direct orders,
when it was 'lecesjsary to take the
promptest measures to try and save
the live of those who had been so
wantonly exposed to murder, he landed
marine; and we are now, by the ac
tlon"of the administration, and of the
admittedly allied powers, at war with
China nd" none can tell what lntr
nation'al complications may arise from
our present connection with the strug
gle. " . - .
If it be true,' as now seems to be
only too well established, that Ameri
cans and' other foreigners in China
have been Indiscriminately butchered
by the Chinos troop, we must accept
the duty Of punishing this flagrant vio
lation of the laws of war, and of pro
tecting any of our residents there who
have escaped the sword of the Chinese
warrior. Regardless of the provocation
given China, there must be fearful
atonement for the Inhuman and in
dibrriininate butchery of foreigners. At
the worst we joined in declaring cause
less war against China; but war among
all civilized nations, and even among
semi -civilized peoples, protects the
non-combatant and the helpless from
savagery; and when China accepts war
ad an inspiration to murder men, wo
men and children, there must be fear
ful atonement for such barbarism.
We must now take our part in the
punishment of , the barbarian for In
discriminate murder, and assure pro
tection to our ciUseus yet remaining;
but when that duty shall have been
discharged, we can have no business
in Asiatic complications, and our naval
and military forces should be prompt
ly withdrawn.
We can have no part in the parti
tion of China that now seems Inevit
able, without departing from the most
sacred landmarks of our free govern
ment, and for such spoliation of Chi
na by the great European powers. If
they shall make war upon China It
Is their own affair; If they shall des
poil China of her territory they will
be answerable to the civilized world,
and If th;y shall involve themselves
In ar in their lust for new posses
sions," wt- can have no part in it what
ever. - .
We are fortunate in holding the Phil
ippines and they Will ever remain our
stronghold In the Eastern sea. It la the
key to the commerce and trade of the
cradle of the human race, and while
we hold it, there can be no relinlng of
the map of China by foreign powers
without giving open doors for our com
merce and products of our Industry.
If we shall go ane step beyond the
line of defending our own people in
China we must falsify every teaching
of the fathers of the republic, and
prove to the world that the greatest
republic ever known flaunts a He in
the fact of mankind when it claims to
maintain government "of the people,
by the people and for the people."
DEMOCRATIC niPERIAUSM.
The Democratic party has not always
been afraid of "imperialism" in fact
has never seemed to fear it In the least,
If only It could control the "imperial"
forces. That good Democrat, Janvs
Buchanan, found no fault with Commo
dore Tatnall when, in 1859, we being
then at peace with China, he gave ma
terial assistance to our British cou
sins in the capture of the Taku forts,
thus entering, upon his own responsi
bility, Into a very practical and effective
but "entangling'' alliance with Eng-1
land to force the Chinese to deal with
us. There can be no higher exercise
of "Imperialism" than in compelling by
Uiei of arms a nation which asked
nothing of us, had done us no harm
and only desired to be let alone, to
admit u to reside in their country
and to assume responsibility for the
lives and prop.-rty of our citizens. A
Demo:ratlc president not only did this,
but went go far as to compel the Chi
nese to become responsible for the good
treatment of such of their own people
as from motives of policy or better mo
tives might adopt the religious doc
trines which some of us profess.
It has also been stat-ad in Mich a way
that many believe it that it was only
by the rankest kind of Democratic
"Imperialism" that H has happensd
thai we In California are basking in
the protecting sunlight of the great re
public, and that it was only by mis
carriage of the plans of other "njlnent
Democrats that Democratic imperialism
was not as successful in Nicaragua as

to the discredit of the Democracy, al

"Imperialism" of Democratic presidents,
