Newspaper Page TextAi Uuswerable Argument. From Ibe World The independent press o! the country coincides with tbe view expressed by The World yesterday that Mrs Bryan' peecli oi acceptance was "tbe moat leg cat, eloquent and ronvincing of all bie public efforts." It is la maaterly pre sentation ol tbe paramount isBue of tl e campaign and a aplendid evidence of real intellectual power. It combines ardor without intemperance, argument with out abUBe, and fire without fanaticism. No greater political speech baa been de livered in this country within tbe last decade. Mr, Bryan touches Ihe moat vital point of the discussion in aaylng that Those who would have thia nation en ter upon a career of empire must consid er not onlv the effect of imperialiam on the Filipinos, but they must alao calcu late ita effect upon our own nation. We cannot repudiate the principle of self government in the Philippines without weakening that principle bere. And ha indicates with unerring finger wherein this departure Irom our basic principle baB hurt tbe republic. The nation is no longer free to express, aa heretofore, "ita eympatby with ell those who are fighting for civil liberty." We Bpeakof freedom with bated breatb. Not only bo, but if we have an imperial policy we muBt have a large standing ar my aB its natural and neceaBary equip ment. "That this is Inienaeu oy wie ...v.iin imulore." bbvb Mr Bryan, ''is nnfc n mete matter of fact." Consideringlthe etatua of the mpinos Mr. Bryan citee with approval the decla ration of the national plalform that "they cannot be dtir-ens without endan gering oor civilization, and cannot be subjects without endangering our form of government." A republic be declares can have no Bubjecta. Mr. Bryan tersely says : The whole difference between a uon nrchy and a republic, may be summed up ia one aentence. In a monarchy a king gives to the people what he believee to be a good government ; in a republic the people secuto f hat they believe to be a good government. Meeting Mr. McKiuley'e claim of a duty and obligatton to hold the islands, Mr. Bryan pointedly eays that duty is not an argument, it is a concision, and muBt be decided upon well-Bettled prin ciples of right. "Force can defend a light, but force has never created a right," proclaims thiB eloquent apostle bf freedom. I'lie flimsy plea that we cannot "haul down the flag where it has once waved" iB contemptuously brushed aside by the speaker withlconclueivo bUlorio prece dents. The commercial argument, ae baldly put by Senator Wolcott, ib met by the assertion that a war of conquest is as unwise as it is unrighteous, auu the happy epigram that "it iB not neces sary to own people In order to trade with them." .McKinley to Bryan.

Editor Dkmocbat: Uoveroor Ger baB an article in the Evening Telegram ol the ll'.h iuBt. in which he attempis to show that "imper ialism" is not the paramount issue in tbe preseut campaign. Tbe Governor deals with the subject in his usual dog matic way, by declaring that it ia not tbe paramount issue without adducing any facta to suatain hia dogmatic denial Notwithstanding tbia qnaei official settle ment of tbe question, tbe people every where are devoting twenty four houre to imperialipm and one to the money ques tion. The Governor, notwithstanding tbe immensity of his power, and the po tency of bie executive functions, can no more fix tbe iesue of the campaign man can the moat imbecile Filipino. Tbe at-' tention of tbe Governor ia called to tbe Otn reeolution of the platform of the free or.il nartv of 1848 in whicu that party solemnly reBolved "that it is the duty ol tbe federal government to relieve itBelf from all responsibility for the exiatence or continuance of slavery wherevtr the governor posseasee constitutional power to legislate on that auoject, and it is re sponsible for its existence." Now, as the Philippines belong to the United States, both by conquest and by pur etiase, why does not McKinley relieve the I'nited States ol all responsibly for elavery in the 8ulu islands instead ol recognizing and fostering it by paying the Sultan and his parasites large sa'ar ies?DTtis is why tbe peoplo are so uni versally talking about imperialism. The free soil party in 1852 declared in their platform: "That governments deriving their just powerB from the consent of the governed, are instituted among men to secure to all those inalienable rignts oi life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness, with which they are endowed by their Creator and of which none can be deprived except for crime." It iB because McKinley haa Btrayed awav bo far from this doctrine.that the neoDle are bo stirred up about imparial- lm. The remibllcan party in their platform of 1850 declared : "That tbe maintenance of the principles proroulga ted In the declara'ion of independence and embodied in the federal constitution is eBBential to the preservation of our re publican institutions," and that "we hold it lo be a self-evident truth that all men are endowed with the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of bappineBB," McKinley'a laying these doctrines in tho shade makes people talk Imperialism. In 180U the republi cans declared in their platform; "That the maintenance of tbe principle promul gated in the declaration of independence ind embodied In the federal constitution, Tlmk all men are created equal : that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rignts; mar, amonu these are life, liberty and the pursuit of bappineEs; that t3 Besuio these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the con sent ol the governed' ia essential to the preservation of our republican institu tions." McKinley'a desert on oi tneae irreat fundamental trutliB driveB men to talk imperialism every day. In 1S08 the republicans in their platform said : ''This contention declares itself in eympatby with all oppressed people who are ;elrug- gling for their rights. MeKinley'B open, palpable revereal of this declaratioi as applied to the Boers and other struggling people causes peo ple throughout the land to he alarmed at ho imperialism that tnreatena to gain a footinir iu our country. In 18ib the re publicans declared m lavor ol tne uoc- rines that all iuutpowerB ot government are dtrived from tl.e consent of the t , , .1 i...ii. governed anu mat iuiui uivei: nu.no are cheerfully obeyed, or if need be, vlg orously enfoiced, the work of the repub lican party is unuuished, McKinley s open vio'atlon of theBo fundamental principles which are eo "ossential to the preservation of our republican institu tions" has caused all other questions ex cept that of imperialism to become sec ondary in their importance. McKinley'a declaration that it was our "plain duty" to admit imports Irom Porto Rico into any of the atates or territories free of duty, and hiB desertion of thie duty at the behest ol the protected greed of the country makea men talk impeiialiem day br day , Hia desertion of his own clearly expressed truth that "lorclble annexa tion ia criminal aggression" leads to the continual discussion of imperialism. And thus I might continue almost in definitely to give reasons why imperial ism will be the paramount Issue in the present campaign notwithstanding the executive dictum of Governor Goer. Finns One of tlieTinatltst crumbs of comfort yet found in this campaign ia that which tbe Oregonian baa unearthed in the dis covery that "Wellington's support of Brj an is now offset by Billy Mason who cornea out for McKinley." Now, where tho Okiooniam finds so ranch comfort in this ia hard, indeed, to tell, yet it ia fed out to the republican readers ol that pa per aa precious political pabulum, and the tact that both these men aro republi cans does not enter tho mind of one of ttese roaders in a hundred. What is still more important ia that Wellington is a republican senator from Maryland and Billy Mason ia a rppuollcan senator irom Illinois. Wrier j then is the "oil SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS Tbe Chinese war ia decided in tbe front column these days, while the oomh African war and the Philippine war are on some page further along. The end of tbis week aeea tbe trouble nearly settled ao far a. the allies and China are con cerned. The allies ire inPekinandhave the dragon lv the gills. Be might aa well succumb. In the mean time there la considerable cf a cloud arising between the allies. The horns are beginning to stake out of most of their heads and we are looking for their cloven feet. All their hoggish propenBisties are cropping out, labeled "imparialiem.'' Tbe smoke ia rising, and it ia high time for another Ilague peace conference, Tbe weather vane joints considerably towards an interna tional siorui. V Let the United States very emphatical ly and completely stay out of all entangl ing alliances, as adviBed by tbe immortal Washington, and endorsed by every loyal peace loving citizen of tbia glorlouB re public. We must protect our subjects, then stop. What a startling revelation this week. TbiB man Wharton Baker, running for president on the middle of the road ticket was once Lord of St. Wiecesias of Russia, made so while in tbe Czar's ser vice, and ie therefore ineligible for the b ighest office in tbe gift of tbe people ol people of the world Not a very material matter though, for there are few wbo ill be guilty of voting for him. V Thss week has seen quite a good many people come borne from the Bay and mouutaine o.ieet up for the work of the (all and winter. (From the Philadelphia Times Iud.) Mr. Bryan has not merely expressed the convictions of a large part of the Ameri can people, but has made his argument upon such broad lines and in Buch a digni fied American spirit that it will he im possible for those who hold contrary views to treat it lightly, If any of his support ers are disappointed that he makes no specific reference to any of the financial and economic questions which they deem important, the disappointment of his opponen'.a will be much greaterr United States Senator George L. Wel lington, asked by The World correspon dent tor his opinion of Mr. Bryan's apeech of acceptance, said : "It waa a great paper. In declaring imperialism to be Jthe paramount ques tion in this campaign he meelB my viewe exactly. Since I have read his Indian apolis speech;! am more convinced than ever that Mr. Brvan will be tbe next President. As for Maryland, it Is now only a question of how much his Jroaj'ir- ity will be."
