Ftr .'resident WILLIAM M RIXLCY, OF Ohio. For Vice-President THEODORE K00SEYELT, Of New York. AID AND COMFORT- TO REBELS. Sail Francisco Chronicle. There can be no doubt that the con tinued difficulties which our generals report In maintaining order In the Philippines is due to the declared pur pose of the Democratic party to pull down our flag and retreat from the archipetago. The leaders of the Tagals are ambitious and scheming and well understand how to encourage their fol lowers by the evidence of a back fire upon the American troops. We may be certain that the Philippine plank of the Democratic platform has been translated into Tagal and has been read or heard by every Inhabitant of Luion. Every disloyal utterance of a Democratic orator is promptly made known to the rebels. a ho are ambus cading our troora, and many are the pcor soldiers whose death Irf lb.-; direct result of the treasonable harangues. No other nation was ever so patient with disloyalty in the face of the ene my. We cannot sympathize with Great Britain in its efforts to conquer a civ ilised people In South Africa, whose virtual independence it has many times recognized, but we could not very earn, tstly condemn a Loudon mob for re anting public speeches calculated to increase the death roll of an army rent by national authority. This disloyalty of Bryanites to their country is te-l peeially distressing Just now. --hen the t-flort to aid our unhappy citizens In China is depleting ur forces in the Philippines and exposal'? those left to additional danger from the maraud ing and bloodthirsty bands. Not only art the rebels in arms eccouraged, but peaceable citizens who would gladly ac cept our PMceeti in If they could ily on it, are in fear that, after all, we shall desert them and leave them to the vengeance of the Tagal hordes. Whenever it shall become evident that the people of the United States are in earnest in proposing at ail hazards to establish order in the Philippines, and so fulfill our obligation to Spain and the world, the inhabitants of those islands will be among the first to know j it, and then, and not till then, may we expect submission and loyalty from the masses of the people. And in that hour also will the robber bands break up. Meantime it Is Bryan and his fol lowers who are responsible for th death of our brave boys who have tfene at the call of their country. "Fewest fatlur :s for eighteen years'' is the headline on Bradstreets' record for the first half of this year. That non partisan business Journal says: "The number of failures reported for the first six month of the calendar year liM) Is the smallest noted for eighteen years past. Compared with a year ago, tl.e falling off in number is 3.3 per cent, while compared with 1SS8 the decrease U 13 per cent, and even larger de- Don't fall to Irs CKOlISf i'S FILLS I mil ft muffttrSnif frt Bits tmd cootiition ot Ina ctomach J ci" Uvcr. .a 10rintsaBd33eents. at inntvM. J creases are noted when comparisons an. made with the tint half of the ycam 117 and 1VS. This year. In fact, for the 'first time In eighteen years, the fix months' failures have fallen "below S,'W in number." Ex-Senator Hill made a hard fight for sound money at the Democratic conven, tion. In an Interview at Kansas City, lie said: 'The strongest silver men are with us, even Jones Is with us, and has so declared, but he is dominated by Mr. Bryan. Just the same as I am opposed to Imperial ism in a nation, so I am opposed to It in an individual. This Is imperialism of the worst kind." The man who votes the Republican tKket this year will vote to keep the klttniD in the United States that Is now annually paid to foreign shipown ers for doing our foreign carrying. The m.m who votes the Democratic ticket endorses the proposition to leave this business In the hands of foreigners, where it now is. The New Tork World dem.) asks If we are to have a more distinctively American financial system, why not also an American yardstick, an Amer ican gallon, or an American pound wei;ht especially when selling the Tammany trust's Ice? There were 59.142 tons of lead smelt ed from the ore In Idaho In 1S3S, as compared with 31.538 tons in 1SS5. Miners should remember that Genera! Prosperity has given them more work, and they have no reason to desert him for Boss Bryan. Eighty-one per cent of the delegates to the Democratic convention recognis ed that IS to I was no longer a live issue. But Boss Bryan wanted it. and Prince David voted for It, so that set tied It Boss Bryan's silver plank demands "An American financial system." We have It by order of the 7,104.779 people who voted for McKlnley in 1S9. Hon. Billy Sulxer extended the glad hand to the Boer contribution pocket book. But there were tlS left for the Boer widows and orphans.
