Imperialists advance the contention that the arts cannot flourish In a money-gettln- c Jlppubllc as under the lavish patronage of a benignly artistic sov- ereign. Even If It were a truth, the ultimate fate of luxurious countries as shown In history 'would be a sufficient proof that they hafl chosen the less important con- sideration in Eetting nrt above Inde- pendence. A comparison of recent public artistic work In America and In Europe nega- tives the contention that a money-gettin- g Republic cannot achieve artistic triumphs as great as a monarchy can achieve. The Dewey arch la New York and the Franz Joseph arch In Berlin supply the means for comparison. The visit of the Austrian Emperor to Berlin .which the Franz Joseph arch com- memorated was intended to show tho permanence of the Triple Alliance. The Kaiser accordingly outdid himself In the concrete marks of welcome. The Franz Joseph arch falls far beneath the Dewey arch In artistic merit. Art and liberty can exist together. EAST ST. LOUIS GROWTH. .It Is iu order for St. Louis to extend Its heartiest congratulations to its name- sake across the river, the enterprising nnd progressive city of East. St. Louis, on the official figures of the census of 1000, which show a gain of 93.50 per cent In population since 1S90. There Is every likelihood that this ex- hibit of increase breaks the American record, save In the case of sudden booms due to exceptional causes such as min- eral discoveries and accidents of that nature which lead to a rush of settlers focusing on one central point. East St. Louis's growth from a population of 15,100 in 1S90 to L'O.GSS in 1000 was not of this kind. Large as it Is, it is due to natural and healthy causes that promise continued growth for years to come. It marks tho legitimate develop- ment of a community offering excep- tional Inducements alike to labor and capital. St. Louis may. Indeed, congratulate herself in congratulating East St. Louis upon this marvelous growth of the past ten years. The city across the bridge Is In reality a. part of St Louis. Its growth is St. Louis's growth, necessarily arising from conditions existing on this side. Therefore is It a warrant for especial gratification on the part of St, Loulsaus. The record made by East St. Louis is commended to the world's attention as a very notable Instance of rapid and yet wholesome American development WAS IT INVITED? There are indications that the ob- stinacy of the combined coal mine op- erators, which caused the calling of a strike of anthracite coal workers, was a step in a plan to get rid at high prices of an accumulation of coal stored up through months of overproduction. There are indications that the mine op- erators are thoroughly prepared for the fctrlko nnd that, had it not come, the mines would have been shut down or run part time until the oversupply was exhausted. Accordingly the strike of the coal miners gives the combined coal opera- tors an excellent excuse for raising the price of their stored supplies to high figures without subjecting themselves directly to the charge of arbitrarily rais- ing the price of their product Many things Indicate that the strike of the miners has played directly with the plans of the coal operators. The miners will suffer a loss of wages and will enrich the operators to this extent The .people will have to pay a higher price for coal, whereas, with the over- production, the price of coal should have been lowered, causing a falling off In tho profits of the mine operators. Tho baneful effect on employes and consumers of combination as against competition Is again shown here. It was shown in the wire and steel Indus- try when an overproduction caused the shutting down of the trust factories by John W. Gates. Had Gates been as "smooth" as the coal mine operators he would have egged his employes on to strike and thus escaped the odium of shutting down his works. Developments In the course of the coal miners' strike will not tend to defer the day of reckoning which Is approach- ing for the trusts and combines which are aflllctlng the United States. LAST ACT OF A TRAGEDY. Oom Paul Kruger's resignation of the Presidency of the South African Repub- lic marks the definite date of the disap- pearance of that Republic from among the world's Governments, to be fol- lowed by Its entry Into history as a Crown Province of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Em- pire of India. There Is a pathos In this overthrow of a free government by a ruthless and Im- perial antagonist. Whatever the faults of the Transvaal Dutch, they had all the virtues of frenieu. They were brave, honest, frugal. Industrious a God-fearin- g people who loved their homes and their kin and their native land with a surpassing love. Their qualities were the qualities of which the world's pioneers have loattd from the beginning of time. They bad In them the making of a glorious nation, and their history, now terminated In tragedy, i already rich in glory. In nothing is It more glorious than in the record of the Boers' death struggle agaiust overwhelming odds. The de- fense of the Transvaal by Oom Paul Kruger's people constitutes a story of heroism unsurpassed In the world's an-na- R If ever patriots have lived, the Boers were patriots. If ever patriots have proven the power of patriotism to make men go gladly and proudly down to bloody graves, this proof has been furnished by the Boer people. For near- ly one long year of the supremest trial known to men In like peril. In a struggle which was hopeless from the beginning, they, the weakest of nations, have held back from consummated conquest tho world's greatest and most militant Power. Even In their final downfall there Is a dignity which appeals with irrcslstlblo force to every manly soul. Oom Paul Kruger In flight letting fall from his worn and wearied shoulders the robe of office; Joubert, the soldierly hope and pride of his people, dead from wounds received In battle; the indomi- table Cronje a home-yearnin- g exile on the bleak rock of St Helena; the des- perate Botha, still fighting, all his sons killed in battle and his wife dead of a broken heart these are the Boer figures that come before the mind's eye In the setting of this final act of the Trans- vaal tragedy. They are heroic and ac- cusing figures. They cry to the whole civilized world a reproach for the sin against civilization which allowed their beloved country to bo subjugated by Empire. They call down upon Eng- land's head the curse of the blood of patriots shed for their native land. Such voices do not die away from the hear- ing of God or man. The Government that has so ruthlessly wiped out tho Boer people as a nation, and tho Gov- ernments permitting that crime es- pecially that great Republic upon which the little Boer Republic was modeled stand Indicted for an offense of singular heinousness In Its cruel disregard of human, rights. WELL-GROW-N INFANTS. Figures recently gathered by the New England Tariff League regarding prices in England and the United States of raw materials show how trusts export their products to other countries and sell them for lower prices than they de- mand In the United States where tho materials are manufactured. In every case mentioned & protective tariff baa fostered a trust and the prices are regu- lated not by natural laws, but arbi- trarily at the option of the trust U. 8. Enr. Arttcla. Quantity. Price.

English manufacturers arc kept from competing in the United States by the tariff. These are the "in- fant Industries" which without tariff protection would perish. It can easily be Been that the removal of the tariff on these materials would at once dissolve the monopolies and re- lieve the consumers. FLORAS LABOR POSE. There Is nothing especially surprising In the announcement that the heavy railroad vote of Mr. Flory's home town will be cast against the Republican can- didate for Governor of Missouri owing to the fact that railroad employes in that city do not regard Mr. Flory as a good union man. Republican Boss Baumhoff s protege, although posing as a champion of or- ganized labor, Is weakened by flaws in his record which invalidate his claim of devotion to the cause of the working-ma- n. It seems to be felt by many that Mr. Flory's devotion to the cause of the workingman Is In exact proportion to the benefit which Mr. Flory expects to derive from the support of the working-ma- n at the polls. Organized labor Is familiar with men of this stripe. They constitute one of the evils against which the cause has to contend Insincere allleB working for selfish ends and using the laboring man's vote for their own profit They have been In evidence from the time or- ganized labor became a power to be reckoned with. They will remain In evidence so long as there Is anything to gain by fooling the workingman. No one recognizes this truth more clea-l- y than does the workingman himself. Naturally, also, no one is so swift to perceive and to resent the attempt thus j THE REPUBLIC: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1900. to use organized labor for personal political advantage. While Mr. Dockery, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Missouri, has never paraded himself as the especial champion of the laboring man, his rec- ord In Congress proves that he has been the consistent and unvarying friend of labor. It has won for him a resolution of thanks from the national body of or- ganized labor. It is a refreshing con- trast to the claims of Joseph Flory the contrast of achievement with empty promise. TORY INSOLENCE. Thoughtful readers of the St. Louis Globe-Democr- the iiio- -t radical organ of Empire published in the United States, will not be surprised by that paper's bitter attack on Mr. Bryan for having ventured to express his hostility to the Institution of monarchy and to its representatives ou the throne. :i cl:i.s that has stood for the world's tjranuy hlnce the world b?gan. "I care not whether a King ho good or had," said Jtr. Bryan in a receut speech to a gathering of university students, "I hate a King." And he theu proceed- ed to explain that the personal char- acters of monarchs could not prevail lo change this attitude of freemen toward monarchy. The evil of kingcraft must be condemned by lovers of popular gov- ernment. It is an evil to be hated ex- actly In proportion to the love Mt for lilH-rt- and the rights of the many. But the Imperial Globe- - Democrat 's feelings were astly hurt by Mr. Bry- an's declaration that he hated a Klin.-- . The organ of Empire argues that Ameri- cans should love Kings hilly an American who is likely to become l'risi-deu- t, for the rrason, as the Globe-Democr- expresses it, that "a President must maintain civil relations with many monarchical representatives." There- fore the Globe-Democr- contends that Mr. Bryan is unfit to be President i,,.. cause he hates Kings. There is loo much hatred In Bryan's creed," laments this remarkable Tory sheet. This Insolent assault by an alleged American newspaper, made on an American who now dares, with Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and all the other American patriots of 177C, to hate a King, cannot but Indicate, to reasoning American minds the extent to which the dream of Empire now possesses the souls of tho American Tories of 1!K)0. The Globe-Democrat- 's defense of Kings and denunciation of an American can- didate for the Presidency who refuses to love Kings Is a danger signal to the country. It Is high time to put an eud to tho Tory dream of American Empire. SIGNIFICANT PARAGRAPH. On paragraph In the attractive rec- ord In Congress of Alexander Dockery which the Globe-Denioer- kindly pre- sented recently, should have been printed In black full-fac- e typo, so great Is its pertinency to present conditions. The paragraph reads: "Offered an amendment to the Ding-le- y tariff bill placing ou the free list all articles manufactured, controlled or produced In the United States by a trust or trusts." nad this amendment been adopted tho United States would not have been af- flicted during the past two years with the gigantic monopolies which "rob you waking or sleeping, eating or drinking, working or playing, and the coffin trust gets you in the end." The amendment was voted down by the Republican ma- jority In the House. Dockcry's amendment would at one stroko have removed from the trusts tho protection from foreign competition to which they owed their existence. When Dockery presented his amend- ment the Dlngley tariff bill had not yet begun Its trust breeding, but Dockery's clear eye saw its probable effect nnd introduced his amendment. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge's answer can never have the weight which Ol-ne- letter carried. That was the state- ment of opposition to McKinley by a man who had supported McKinley In 1S9G. Lodge's was merely a "defense of Holland by the Dutch." Republican heelers of the Zlegenheln gang and the Federal officeholding out- fit shouldn't have hollered so loud at tho Sedalla rally. They seem to have Beared, poor Colonel Kerens half to death. If Mr. Bryan should happen to speak disrespectfully of a King or two to- night the Globe-Democr- will probably have a double conniption duck-ti- t with lese majesto hydrophobic attachments. Whenever a Republican orator or organ In Missouri assails Mr. Dockery's record or present attitude on public questions It's tho assailant who retires from the action with a black eye. Writers the country over appear with great unanimity to have hit on the ad- jective "smug" as thoroughly descrip- tive of the physical and mental make- up of William McKinley. Carl Schurz's second answer to Secre- tary Gage Indicates a fixed Intention on the part of the great Gorman-America- n to make the Secretary of the Treasury sorry he ever spoke. Republican leaders doubtless look on a celebration like that of the anniversary of the battle of the Brandywlue as an out- break of treason. Senator Cockrell's Paris speech goes far to explain why Republicans are so deadly afraid to acknowledge Imperial- ism as the paramount Issue of the cam- paign. Maybe It's natural, after all, for a dark-lanter- n Mayor to prefer that the city looted by his gang bo lit only by the light of the moon. The full dinner pall which McKinley has chosen as his emblem seems to be conspicuously absent from the anthra- cite cool fields. IVatcli Missouri. I Old Missouri's hooded straight.

Cook, can- didate for Secretary of State on the Demo- cratic ticket, has pr pared a statement which completely rtfutes Colonel Dick Dal-ton- 's charge that the Democrats. In their management of State affairs, had Imposed unjust burdens upon the fanners. He says: "Colonel Dalton makes the specific charge that the Democratic management of State affairs has lmpoed outrageously un- just burdens, in the form of Slate taxes, on the farmers of 31issourl. "If this charge is tru It the great agri- cultural Interests of 3Ils.sourl are being un- justly burdened by State then Colonel Dalton Is perfectly Justified In re- nouncing the Democratic party and espous- ing the Republican cause. "Let us tee If there Is a shadow of truth In Colonel Dalton's statement. The ques- tion is not a dlilleult one to determine. The leeords are at the disposal of any citizen, ami no amount of misstatements tan possibly alter them. "To reach an Intelligent conclusion as to whether Colonil Dalton's charge Is true It Is but fair to institute a comparison of taxa- tion under Republican In 311ssouil with that linpo-e- d by the Democrat". "During the six years th Republicans were In power In Missouri they Imposed a Stale tux of ." cents on the Jluo valuation. lleiuoaTiitN ltedneed Tax. "When the Democracy regained control a svstim of economy was inaugurated which resulted In a steady reduction in the tax rate, until y It amounts to V cents, or just one-ha- lf of what the Republicans Im- posed. "So much for the tax rate. "Hut Colonel Dalton charges that while the tax levy was reduced, the assessments were Increased so that the amount of State taxes paid by farmers Is greater than under the old levy. FlKore-- Tell the Trnth. "Let us see how much truth thcro Is In this assertion. "Colonel Dalton begins with the year 1ST.", and compares with 1S9S. In order to meet his contention fairly and Intelligently, I will use the same years. "In IS73 the State tax had been reduced Is to 1J cents. It "In 1S73 the farms of JHssouri were as- sessed. In round numbers, at $210.(X10,OJO. "At 41 cents, the total Stato tax on farms amounted to $1,OS000. "In 1S3S the farms of 3IIssourt were at 316,OX,OW, an Increase of il.03 per acre. "In the meantime, the tax rate for State purposes had been reduced to 13 cents. "This made the farms pay in 1S93 $730.tt. "Instead, therefore, of an Increase In the amount of State taxes, there was a decrease In the total amount paid of S2W.00O. "In 1575 the farms were assessed JC5.0nO.000 higher than the city and town lots of the State. "In 1SSS tho city and town lots were as- sessed JHO.Oui',000 higher than the farms. "Does this look like Colonel Dalton Is telling the truth, when he charges the Democracy with Imposing unjust burdens on the farmers? "Does It not rather prove that this clap- trap about the burden of State taxes Is a mere subterfuge to cover Colonel Dalton's real motives in his flop to Flory? Tax tin Dnlton'n I'arni. "But let us get a little closer home to Colonel Dalton and see how the State bur- den is oppressing him. "Colonel Dalton is the fortunate owner of one of tho best Improved farms In Ralls County. It Is not a large farm, but It Is In a high state of cultivation. There are 157 ncres, 109 of which are In orchard, from which tho Colonel sold tho apples last year, on the trees, for $3,500. "I have a copy of Colonel Dalton's tax-bi- ll for last year, which shows his farm to be assessed at J2.330. "Upon this Colonel Dalton paid a total tax of K7.23. "Of this sum the State's portion amounted to .S3 and tho local taxes to 13.13. "In other words. Colonel Dalton's burden for State purposes Is Ave times loss than his county burden. Ileiinblirnn-lmpose- d Borden. "In n recent nrtlclo which I wrote on this FUbject, I stated that the real burden which tho people of Missouri were bearing In. tho way of taxation was tho fraudulent rail- road tax Imposed In many of the counties of the State, while the party which Colonel .Dalton now supports was In power. "In reply. Colonel Dalton says that what the Republicans did thirty years ago is a dead ls.suo In this campaign. "However that may be, the railroad tax is not a dead issuo with the taxpayers of Ralls. "Colonel Dalton's tax bill ahows that he paid last year $11.05 railroad taxes double what he paid the State. "And yet Ralls did not get a single mile of railroad In return for this infamous debt. "So wonder Colonel Dalton, In his work for hlu friend. Colonel Flory, wants to keep this frightful record of Republican misrule and corruption In Missouri In tha back- ground. "I have no doubt he would gladly have the squandering of the SM.OOO.uOO of State securities by the Republicans also a dead Issue. Tho people are not yet through pay- ing this debt, and as long as a dollar of It remains It will rise up to confront Colonel Dalton end thoso who advocate turning this State over to the party which forced It upon the State.

TO SETTLE WAGE SCALE. of Conference With Iron Workers' to Be Held to Adjust Differences. Pittsburg. Pa., Sept. It Tha outlook, for a settlement of tho Iron wage scale 13 brighter to-d- ay than at any time since the failure of the Detroit conference. Secretary Nutt of tha Labor Bureau of the Republic Iron and Steel Company ar- rived In Pittsburg to-d- for tho purpose of arranging upon some plan to start the mills, and ha Is now In conference with the ofllclals of the. Amalgmated Associa- tion. It la believed that another conference will b held next week or that tha scala will be signed at the terms proposed by tho workers at the last conference. That Democratic Role Has on Farmers Sam Reply. an unjust tax. levied to pay a d.bt created by fraud, but no good citizen will complain of hl.i Just portion of any honest obliga- tion. Besides Colonel Dalton's farm, you all know he held the best Federal olflce In Missouri for four years, his salary aggre- gating C1.0W. "Under these circumstances. Is It not rather a small affair for Colonel Dalton to parade himself over the State, denouncing the party that was his benefactor, because ho has to beur a burden of 5j.S3 In State taxes? Another Story Refuted. "But, says Colonel Dalton, the Demo- cratic State Board of Equalization has dis- criminated In favor of the railroads. "Colorcl Dalion knows this statement, like the other. Is not true. "Tho records show it to be absolutely un- true. "Instead of a decrease In the assessed value of railroad property since 1S75. as he charge.- -, thete has been a greater of increase than in farm property. which has uniformly been assessed at about one-thir- d Its real value. "The Slate Board of Equalization made its first assessment of railroad property un- der the present law In 1S77. when that splendid Democrat and great John S. Phelps, was Governor. "In that year the State had 3,150 miles of road, assessed at ST.i) per mile. "In 1SSS tho mileage had Increased to 6.KC. the total assessment to 72.SS7,S1, or JllaOI per mile. "Thus the total increase in twenty-tw- o years is JIS.7CS.S02. while the Increase per mllo Is vl97, or 43 per cent. "A comparison with the present year shows an even greater Increase in the as- sessment of railroad property. "This valuation includes all the branch roads, the greater portion of which are poorly constructed and do not pay operating expenses. "The principal lines, such as the Wabash, the Chicago and Alton, the Missouri Pacific, Iron 3Iountaln. Frisco and Burlington, Fort Scott and Memphis, are assessed at from J13.0 to JlS.OuO per mile. "I do not know whether this assessment too low or too high, but I do know that la more than double the amount at which tho roads wcro assessed while the Repub- licans were In control In Jllssourl. Hallway Aaaetisnientd. "I know, further, and Colonel Dalton can get the exact figures If he will examine the Auditor's reports In the States named, that railroad property In 3Hssourl Is as- sessed 26 per cent higher than In the Re- publican State of Illinois; per cent higher than In Kansas, and 57 per cent higher than In Iowa. "Does this look like the Democrats of 3I!.'souri rare discriminating in favor of the railroads? "But Colonel Dalton's organ, the Globe-Democr- at, says tho Democratic State Board has not assessed tho street railways of St. Eouls high enough. I do not know- - as to thlj. but I do know the Republican Board of City Assessors, which prior to 1SS7 as- sessed the street railways, valued them at less than J6.000.000. and that the State Bsard Increased this to nearly three times that sum. "I know, further, that, while the Repub- lican Beard of Assessors of the city of St. Louis valued the street railways at scarce- ly more than 10 per cent of their actual worth, this same city board assessed the real estate at 70 per cent, or seven tiroes as much. "And yet Colonel Dalton. proposes to place the farmers of 31Issourl at tho mercy of Zlegenheinlsm. "He knows full well that St. Eouls domi- nates tho Republican party In 3Ilssourl. while the Democracy has It3 great strength with tho people out in the State. "If Colonel Dalton wants an object-lesso- n In the burdens of taxation, all he needs to do Is to pay taxes under Zlegenhelnlsm. St. Loots an Object Lmion. "He knows St. Lculs, under tho recklcs3 extravagance of tha present administra- tion, costs her property owners every year doublo tho sum In taxes that is expended by the State for all purposes. "He knows he pays In Federal taxes ten times over what ha pays the State. "Ha knows that under tho old Republican State Constitution tho Stato officers re- ceived salaries and fees which made them rich in a slnglo term. "He knows that a Democratic Constitu- tion limited the compensation of Stato of- ficers to reasonable salaries and requires all fees and special taxes to be paid into tho Stato Treasury, by which the depart- ments at the Stato capital are made prac- tically "Ho knows that, while tha Constitution only requires $20,000 of the State debt to bo paid each year, tho Democratic admin- istration In the last four years paid over JiOOO.OuO of this debt In excess of tho con- stitutional requirement. "Ho knows that Mr. Dockery, during his long service In Congress, was recognized by both parties as the most watchful man of tho public treasury of any member In eith- er house. "Ho knows that with 3fr. Dockery as Qovcrnor the eamo prudent, watchful care of State expenditures will characterize his every official act. "Ho knows that before- Mr. Dockery's term is half over tho Stato bonded debt will be wiped out and the Stato tax of 23 cents reduced to 15 cents. "What assurance havo the people of a like service on the part of Colonel Flory?" JUDGE JOHN R. THOMAS DEFENDED BY ATTORNEEYS. REPUBLIC SPECIAL, Wagoner, I. T., Sept. U. The members of the bar of Wagoner met this afternoon In the office of DcRoos Bally, Esq., Horace Bradley, Esq., being elected chairman and E. Longford secretary. DeRoos Bally of- fered a resolution denouncing the attack made against Judge John R. Thomas, which was unanimously adopted. Tho resolution reads: "Resolved, by the bar at Wagoner, I. T., That we denounce the attack made on John R. Thomas, published In tha Globe-Democr- at September 6, 1S0O, because of his deci- sion In the Muscogee Townslte case, as an Inexcusable assault upon an honorable and upright Judge, who has the courage and in- tegrity to do his duty under all circum- stances, unawed by the power or threats of removal because of his official rectitude. "If the attack came from individuals they show themselves worthy of the unmitigated contempt of all decent people, but tf it ema- nated from the department of Justice or Interior, then It Is important that the peo- ple be made acquainted with the facts in order that they may be able to mark tho men who would destroy the Independence the judiciary and who seek to carry out their policies by making Judges their Instru- ments, regardless of the Constitution and laws of the country. "The persons who would thus seek to de- throne Justice from her high place in a Re- public like ours deserves to sink to the depths of Infamy, not touched by that cor- rupt King who had Jeffries for his bloody minion. But we are not prepared to believe that either of these departments are re- sponsible for the publication mentioned and believe that time will acquit them of the charge. "Life and property In the Indian Territory to-d- ay are as secure as in any of the States, and this Is due to an Independent and in- corruptible Judiciary more than to any other Influence, "HORACE BRADLY.

Holman. formerly a private In Company H, Eigh- teenth Infantry, says that the Republican administration's treatment of the Filipinos and American soldiers has insured the en- tire soldier vote for Bryan. When seen to-d- by a Republic corre-eopnde- nt. 3Ir. Holman said: "I was one of the many who responded to arms In April, 1S08. having come from St. Louis to the West. 3Iy service In the army was short, but filled with woes. I am not kicking on the fighting. No soldier would do that. But there Is something be- sides that. We were forced to fight men whom we knew- - were our friends. "We were put aboard a troop ship at San Francisco and treated like dogs until we arrived at our destination. We-ha- scarcely enough to sustain life during the trip, the officers having sold the ra- tions Intended for us at Honolulu. On our vessel was hundreds of boxes of fruit placed tlure for us by the Red Cross So- ciety, but we never got to taste It. Wa landed nt Cavlte and were later Bent t Camp Dewey. "Here wo were surrounded by the friend- ly natives who believed the American soldier had come to save them from tha Spaniards. They hovered around our camp and called u.s 'amigos or friends. I found them a peace-lovin- g people. On tha i:th of August we started on our march to the trenches on an empty stomach. There was supuosed to be two days" rations In our knapsacks, but there was only a very small meal for one man. On that day the Filipinos, who fought with us, did alt they could to help capture the city of 3tanila from the Spaniards. The flag of our country was placed over the captured city at the withes of Auglnaldo and tha Fili- pinos. They seemed very happy that wo were to stay th-r- With the invasion of tho American soldiers the natives believed they were to be granted ,'p their liberty. They thought the freedom for which they had so long fought was about to come at last. After we had been stationed in the city of Manila. Agulnaldo moved his army back into the Interior, but asked that his men be admitted to and from, the town without being stopped. But. on February 4. three native soldiers attempted to go into 3Ianlla unarmed and were ordered back. They returned with their guns and two of them were killed and the third fled. This was tho commencement of the war with them. "Now, we had gone to that country tot fight the Spaniards, and no other race off people. We were always ready to fight for what we thought was right. But I do kick on fighting the Filipinos. "Not half the truth was allowed to ba sent out of the Philippines, and thosa cor- respondents who told tha truth about Otis were ordered to leave the Island. X know this to bo a fact, and can prove ail that I say. Lots of soldiers who went over to' thoso islands will come home If they en get away, and vote for W. J. Bryan, be- -" cause the present administration has never kept its word to the soldiers. Wa wera given all kinds of inducements to but I. for one. would never do It. I was enlisted for three years, or until peace bo- rn een the two countries was declared. When it was declared we put in our application to be discharged, and they went Into tha wast basket. But. after a good deal of kicking. they commenced preparations to discharge thoso who were too strong In their denunol- -, ntlon of the administration. At the soma time they made arrangements to us for two years longer. r "Those who refused to war not allowed their travel pay. and those who did wcro allowed the cash at the tha of their I was one who refruea to sell myself for a sum of $400 or SSOO.e, That money was rightly due us, and be ; causa wa refused to right the Innocent Fill- - ( plnos, who wanted to become our friends. 10 was taken away, and the- - soldiers were treated worse than dogs. Such actions on the part of President McKinley Insures the entire soldier vote for WUllam Jermtnxa Bryan." AH SING'S SONS AT SCHOOL ; Only; Chinese Pupils Enrolled !

ART AKD EMPIRE.Imperialists advance the contention

that the arts cannot flourish In a money-gettln- c

Jlppubllc as under the lavishpatronage of a benignly artistic sov-

ereign.Even If It were a truth, the ultimate

fate of luxurious countries as shown Inhistory 'would be a sufficient proof thatthey hafl chosen the less important con-

sideration in Eetting nrt above Inde-

pendence.A comparison of recent public artistic

work In America and In Europe nega-tives the contention that a money-gettin- g

Republic cannot achieve artistictriumphs as great as a monarchy canachieve. The Dewey arch la New Yorkand the Franz Joseph arch In Berlinsupply the means for comparison. Thevisit of the Austrian Emperor to Berlin.which the Franz Joseph arch com-

memorated was intended to show thopermanence of the Triple Alliance. TheKaiser accordingly outdid himself In theconcrete marks of welcome. The FranzJoseph arch falls far beneath theDewey arch In artistic merit. Art andliberty can exist together.

EAST ST. LOUIS GROWTH..It Is iu order for St. Louis to extend

Its heartiest congratulations to its name-sake across the river, the enterprisingnnd progressive city of East. St. Louis,on the official figures of the census of1000, which show a gain of 93.50 percent In population since 1S90.

There Is every likelihood that this ex-

hibit of increase breaks the Americanrecord, save In the case of sudden boomsdue to exceptional causes such as min-eral discoveries and accidents of thatnature which lead to a rush of settlersfocusing on one central point. East St.Louis's growth from a population of15,100 in 1S90 to L'O.GSS in 1000 was notof this kind. Large as it Is, it is dueto natural and healthy causes thatpromise continued growth for years tocome. It marks tho legitimate develop-ment of a community offering excep-

tional Inducements alike to labor andcapital.

St. Louis may. Indeed, congratulateherself in congratulating East St. Louisupon this marvelous growth of the pastten years. The city across the bridge IsIn reality a. part of St Louis. Its growthis St. Louis's growth, necessarily arisingfrom conditions existing on this side.Therefore is It a warrant for especialgratification on the part of St, Loulsaus.The record made by East St. Louis iscommended to the world's attention asa very notable Instance of rapid andyet wholesome American development

WAS IT INVITED?There are indications that the ob-

stinacy of the combined coal mine op-

erators, which caused the calling of astrike of anthracite coal workers, wasa step in a plan to get rid at high pricesof an accumulation of coal stored upthrough months of overproduction.There are indications that the mine op-

erators are thoroughly prepared for thefctrlko nnd that, had it not come, themines would have been shut down orrun part time until the oversupply wasexhausted.

Accordingly the strike of the coalminers gives the combined coal opera-tors an excellent excuse for raising theprice of their stored supplies to highfigures without subjecting themselvesdirectly to the charge of arbitrarily rais-

ing the price of their productMany things Indicate that the strike

of the miners has played directly withthe plans of the coal operators. Theminers will suffer a loss of wages andwill enrich the operators to this extentThe .people will have to pay a higherprice for coal, whereas, with the over-

production, the price of coal should

have been lowered, causing a falling offIn tho profits of the mine operators.

Tho baneful effect on employes andconsumers of combination as againstcompetition Is again shown here. Itwas shown in the wire and steel Indus-try when an overproduction caused theshutting down of the trust factories byJohn W. Gates. Had Gates been as"smooth" as the coal mine operators hewould have egged his employes on tostrike and thus escaped the odium ofshutting down his works.

Developments In the course of the coalminers' strike will not tend to deferthe day of reckoning which Is approach-ing for the trusts and combines whichare aflllctlng the United States.

LAST ACT OF A TRAGEDY.Oom Paul Kruger's resignation of the

Presidency of the South African Repub-lic marks the definite date of the disap-pearance of that Republic from amongthe world's Governments, to be fol-

lowed by Its entry Into history as aCrown Province of the United Kingdomof Great Britain and Ireland and Em-pire of India.

There Is a pathos In this overthrow ofa free government by a ruthless and Im-

perial antagonist. Whatever the faultsof the Transvaal Dutch, they had allthe virtues of frenieu. They werebrave, honest, frugal. Industrious aGod-fearin- g people who loved theirhomes and their kin and their nativeland with a surpassing love. Theirqualities were the qualities of which theworld's pioneers have loattd from thebeginning of time. They bad In themthe making of a glorious nation, andtheir history, now terminated In tragedy,i already rich in glory.

In nothing is It more glorious than inthe record of the Boers' death struggleagaiust overwhelming odds. The de-

fense of the Transvaal by Oom PaulKruger's people constitutes a story ofheroism unsurpassed In the world's an-na- R

If ever patriots have lived, theBoers were patriots. If ever patriotshave proven the power of patriotism tomake men go gladly and proudly downto bloody graves, this proof has beenfurnished by the Boer people. For near-ly one long year of the supremest trialknown to men In like peril. In a strugglewhich was hopeless from the beginning,they, the weakest of nations, have heldback from consummated conquest thoworld's greatest and most militantPower. Even In their final downfallthere Is a dignity which appeals withirrcslstlblo force to every manly soul.

Oom Paul Kruger In flight letting fallfrom his worn and wearied shouldersthe robe of office; Joubert, the soldierlyhope and pride of his people, dead fromwounds received In battle; the indomi-table Cronje a home-yearnin- g exile onthe bleak rock of St Helena; the des-perate Botha, still fighting, all his sonskilled in battle and his wife dead of abroken heart these are the Boer figuresthat come before the mind's eye In thesetting of this final act of the Trans-vaal tragedy. They are heroic and ac-

cusing figures. They cry to the wholecivilized world a reproach for the sinagainst civilization which allowed theirbeloved country to bo subjugated byEmpire. They call down upon Eng-land's head the curse of the blood ofpatriots shed for their native land. Suchvoices do not die away from the hear-ing of God or man. The Governmentthat has so ruthlessly wiped out thoBoer people as a nation, and tho Gov-

ernments permitting that crime es-

pecially that great Republic upon whichthe little Boer Republic was modeledstand Indicted for an offense of singularheinousness In Its cruel disregard ofhuman, rights.

WELL-GROW-N INFANTS.Figures recently gathered by the New

England Tariff League regarding pricesin England and the United States ofraw materials show how trusts exporttheir products to other countries andsell them for lower prices than they de-

mand In the United States where thomaterials are manufactured. In everycase mentioned & protective tariff baafostered a trust and the prices are regu-

lated not by natural laws, but arbi-trarily at the option of the trust

FLORAS LABOR POSE.There Is nothing especially surprising

In the announcement that the heavyrailroad vote of Mr. Flory's home townwill be cast against the Republican can-didate for Governor of Missouri owingto the fact that railroad employes inthat city do not regard Mr. Flory as agood union man.

Republican Boss Baumhoff s protege,although posing as a champion of or-

ganized labor, Is weakened by flaws inhis record which invalidate his claim ofdevotion to the cause of the working-ma-n.

It seems to be felt by many thatMr. Flory's devotion to the cause of theworkingman Is In exact proportion tothe benefit which Mr. Flory expects toderive from the support of the working-ma-n

at the polls.Organized labor Is familiar with men

of this stripe. They constitute one ofthe evils against which the cause has tocontend Insincere allleB working forselfish ends and using the laboringman's vote for their own profit Theyhave been In evidence from the time or-

ganized labor became a power to bereckoned with. They will remain Inevidence so long as there Is anything togain by fooling the workingman. Noone recognizes this truth more clea-l- y

than does the workingman himself.Naturally, also, no one is so swift toperceive and to resent the attempt thus j

to use organized labor for personalpolitical advantage.

While Mr. Dockery, the Democraticcandidate for Governor of Missouri, hasnever paraded himself as the especialchampion of the laboring man, his rec-ord In Congress proves that he has beenthe consistent and unvarying friend oflabor. It has won for him a resolutionof thanks from the national body of or-

ganized labor. It is a refreshing con-trast to the claims of Joseph Flory thecontrast of achievement with emptypromise.

TORY INSOLENCE.Thoughtful readers of the St. Louis

Globe-Democr- the iiio- -t radical organof Empire published in the UnitedStates, will not be surprised by thatpaper's bitter attack on Mr. Bryan forhaving ventured to express his hostilityto the Institution of monarchy and to itsrepresentatives ou the throne. :i cl:i.sthat has stood for the world's tjranuyhlnce the world b?gan.

"I care not whether a King ho good orhad," said Jtr. Bryan in a receut speechto a gathering of university students,"I hate a King." And he theu proceed-ed to explain that the personal char-acters of monarchs could not prevail lochange this attitude of freemen towardmonarchy. The evil of kingcraft mustbe condemned by lovers of popular gov-ernment. It is an evil to be hated ex-actly In proportion to the love Mt forlilH-rt- and the rights of the many.

But the Imperial Globe- - Democrat 'sfeelings were astly hurt by Mr. Bry-an's declaration that he hated a Klin.--.The organ of Empire argues that Ameri-cans should love Kings hilly anAmerican who is likely to become l'risi-deu- t,

for the rrason, as the Globe-Democr-

expresses it, that "a President mustmaintain civil relations with manymonarchical representatives." There-fore the Globe-Democr- contends thatMr. Bryan is unfit to be President i,,..cause he hates Kings. There is loomuch hatred In Bryan's creed," lamentsthis remarkable Tory sheet.

This Insolent assault by an allegedAmerican newspaper, made on anAmerican who now dares, with ThomasJefferson, Patrick Henry and all theother American patriots of 177C, to hatea King, cannot but Indicate, to reasoningAmerican minds the extent to which thedream of Empire now possesses thesouls of tho American Tories of 1!K)0.

The Globe-Democrat- 's defense of Kingsand denunciation of an American can-didate for the Presidency who refusesto love Kings Is a danger signal to thecountry. It Is high time to put an eudto tho Tory dream of American Empire.

SIGNIFICANT PARAGRAPH.On paragraph In the attractive rec-

ord In Congress of Alexander Dockerywhich the Globe-Denioer- kindly pre-sented recently, should have beenprinted In black full-fac- e typo, so greatIs its pertinency to present conditions.The paragraph reads:

"Offered an amendment to the Ding-le- y

tariff bill placing ou the free list allarticles manufactured, controlled orproduced In the United States by a trustor trusts."

nad this amendment been adopted thoUnited States would not have been af-flicted during the past two years withthe gigantic monopolies which "rob youwaking or sleeping, eating or drinking,working or playing, and the coffin trustgets you in the end." The amendmentwas voted down by the Republican ma-jority In the House.

Dockcry's amendment would at onestroko have removed from the truststho protection from foreign competitionto which they owed their existence.When Dockery presented his amend-ment the Dlngley tariff bill had not yetbegun Its trust breeding, but Dockery'sclear eye saw its probable effect nndintroduced his amendment.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge's answercan never have the weight which Ol-ne-

letter carried. That was the state-ment of opposition to McKinley by aman who had supported McKinley In1S9G. Lodge's was merely a "defense ofHolland by the Dutch."

Republican heelers of the Zlegenhelngang and the Federal officeholding out-fit shouldn't have hollered so loud attho Sedalla rally. They seem to haveBeared, poor Colonel Kerens half todeath.

If Mr. Bryan should happen to speakdisrespectfully of a King or two to-

night the Globe-Democr- will probablyhave a double conniption duck-ti- t withlese majesto hydrophobic attachments.

Whenever a Republican orator ororgan In Missouri assails Mr. Dockery'srecord or present attitude on publicquestions It's tho assailant who retiresfrom the action with a black eye.

Writers the country over appear withgreat unanimity to have hit on the ad-jective "smug" as thoroughly descrip-tive of the physical and mental make-up of William McKinley.

Carl Schurz's second answer to Secre-tary Gage Indicates a fixed Intention onthe part of the great Gorman-America- n

to make the Secretary of the Treasurysorry he ever spoke.

Republican leaders doubtless look on acelebration like that of the

anniversary ofthe battle of the Brandywlue as an out-

break of treason.

Senator Cockrell's Paris speech goesfar to explain why Republicans are sodeadly afraid to acknowledge Imperial-ism as the paramount Issue of the cam-

paign.

Maybe It's natural, after all, for adark-lanter- n Mayor to prefer that thecity looted by his gang bo lit only bythe light of the moon.

The full dinner pall which McKinleyhas chosen as his emblem seems to beconspicuously absent from the anthra-cite cool fields.

FACTS AND FIGURES

REFUTE DICK DALT0R.

Comparative Statistics ShowLightened State Tax

B. Cook's

nnrrnijc si'KCi.xuMexico, Mo., Sept. H. Sam B. Cook, can-

didate for Secretary of State on the Demo-cratic ticket, has pr pared a statementwhich completely rtfutes Colonel Dick Dal-ton- 's

charge that the Democrats. In theirmanagement of State affairs, had Imposedunjust burdens upon the fanners.

He says:"Colonel Dalton makes the specific

charge that the Democratic management ofState affairs has lmpoed outrageously un-

just burdens, in the form of Slate taxes, onthe farmers of 31issourl.

"If this charge is tru It the great agri-cultural Interests of 3Ils.sourl are being un-

justly burdened by State thenColonel Dalton Is perfectly Justified In re-

nouncing the Democratic party and espous-ing the Republican cause.

"Let us tee If there Is a shadow of truthIn Colonel Dalton's statement. The ques-tion is not a dlilleult one to determine. Theleeords are at the disposal of any citizen,ami no amount of misstatementstan possibly alter them.

"To reach an Intelligent conclusion as towhether Colonil Dalton's charge Is true It Isbut fair to institute a comparison of taxa-tion under Republican In 311ssouil with thatlinpo-e- d by the Democrat".

"During the six years th Republicanswere In power In Missouri they Imposed aStale tux of ." cents on the Jluo valuation.

lleiuoaTiitN ltedneed Tax."When the Democracy regained control a

svstim of economy was inaugurated whichresulted In a steady reduction in the taxrate, until y It amounts to V cents, orjust one-ha- lf of what the Republicans Im-

posed."So much for the tax rate."Hut Colonel Dalton charges that while

the tax levy was reduced, the assessmentswere Increased so that the amount of Statetaxes paid by farmers Is greater than underthe old levy.

FlKore-- Tell the Trnth."Let us see how much truth thcro Is In

this assertion."Colonel Dalton begins with the year

1ST.", and compares with 1S9S. In order to meethis contention fairly and Intelligently, Iwill use the same years.

"In IS73 the State tax had been reduced Isto 1J cents. It

"In 1S73 the farms of JHssouri were as-

sessed. In round numbers, at $210.(X10,OJO.

"At 41 cents, the total Stato tax on farmsamounted to $1,OS000.

"In 1S3S the farms of 3IIssourt wereat 316,OX,OW, an Increase of il.03 per

acre."In the meantime, the tax rate for State

purposes had been reduced to 13 cents."This made the farms pay in 1S93 $730.tt."Instead, therefore, of an Increase In the

amount of State taxes, there was a decreaseIn the total amount paid of S2W.00O.

"In 1575 the farms were assessed JC5.0nO.000

higher than the city and town lots of theState.

"In 1SSS tho city and town lots were as-sessed JHO.Oui',000 higher than the farms.

"Does this look like Colonel Dalton Istelling the truth, when he charges theDemocracy with Imposing unjust burdenson the farmers?

"Does It not rather prove that this clap-trap about the burden of State taxes Is amere subterfuge to cover Colonel Dalton'sreal motives in his flop to Flory?

Tax tin Dnlton'n I'arni."But let us get a little closer home to

Colonel Dalton and see how the State bur-den is oppressing him.

"Colonel Dalton is the fortunate owner ofone of tho best Improved farms In RallsCounty. It Is not a large farm, but It IsIn a high state of cultivation. There are157 ncres, 109 of which are In orchard, fromwhich tho Colonel sold tho apples last year,on the trees, for $3,500.

"I have a copy of Colonel Dalton's tax-bi- ll

for last year, which shows his farm tobe assessed at J2.330.

"Upon this Colonel Dalton paid a total taxof K7.23.

"Of this sum the State's portion amountedto .S3 and tho local taxes to 13.13.

"In other words. Colonel Dalton's burdenfor State purposes Is Ave times loss thanhis county burden.

Ileiinblirnn-lmpose- d Borden."In n recent nrtlclo which I wrote on this

FUbject, I stated that the real burden whichtho people of Missouri were bearing In. thoway of taxation was tho fraudulent rail-road tax Imposed In many of the countiesof the State, while the party which Colonel.Dalton now supports was In power.

"In reply. Colonel Dalton says that whatthe Republicans did thirty years ago is adead ls.suo In this campaign.

"However that may be, the railroad taxis not a dead issuo with the taxpayers ofRalls.

"Colonel Dalton's tax bill ahows that hepaid last year $11.05 railroad taxes doublewhat he paid the State.

"And yet Ralls did not get a single mileof railroad In return for this infamousdebt.

"So wonder Colonel Dalton, In his workfor hlu friend. Colonel Flory, wants to keepthis frightful record of Republican misruleand corruption In Missouri In tha back-ground.

"I have no doubt he would gladly havethe squandering of the SM.OOO.uOO of Statesecurities by the Republicans also a deadIssue. Tho people are not yet through pay-ing this debt, and as long as a dollar of Itremains It will rise up to confront ColonelDalton end thoso who advocate turningthis State over to the party which forcedIt upon the State.

That Democratic Role Has

on Farmers Sam

Reply.

an unjust tax. levied to pay a d.bt createdby fraud, but no good citizen will complainof hl.i Just portion of any honest obliga-tion. Besides Colonel Dalton's farm, you allknow he held the best Federal olflce InMissouri for four years, his salary aggre-gating C1.0W.

"Under these circumstances. Is It notrather a small affair for Colonel Dalton toparade himself over the State, denouncingthe party that was his benefactor, becauseho has to beur a burden of 5j.S3 In Statetaxes?

Another Story Refuted."But, says Colonel Dalton, the Demo-

cratic State Board of Equalization has dis-

criminated In favor of the railroads."Colorcl Dalion knows this statement,

like the other. Is not true."Tho records show it to be absolutely un-

true."Instead of a decrease In the assessed

value of railroad property since 1S75. as hecharge.- -, thete has been a greater

of increase than in farm property.which has uniformly been assessed at aboutone-thir- d Its real value.

"The Slate Board of Equalization madeits first assessment of railroad property un-

der the present law In 1S77. when thatsplendid Democrat and greatJohn S. Phelps, was Governor.

"In that year the State had 3,150 miles ofroad, assessed at ST.i) per mile.

"In 1SSS tho mileage had Increased to 6.KC.

the total assessment to 72.SS7,S1, or JllaOIper mile.

"Thus the total increase in twenty-tw- o

years is JIS.7CS.S02. while the Increase permllo Is vl97, or 43 per cent.

"A comparison with the present yearshows an even greater Increase in the as-

sessment of railroad property."This valuation includes all the branch

roads, the greater portion of which arepoorly constructed and do not pay operatingexpenses.

"The principal lines, such as the Wabash,the Chicago and Alton, the Missouri Pacific,Iron 3Iountaln. Frisco and Burlington, FortScott and Memphis, are assessed at fromJ13.0 to JlS.OuO per mile.

"I do not know whether this assessmenttoo low or too high, but I do know thatla more than double the amount at which

tho roads wcro assessed while the Repub-licans were In control In Jllssourl.

Hallway Aaaetisnientd."I know, further, and Colonel Dalton can

get the exact figures If he will examinethe Auditor's reports In the States named,that railroad property In 3Hssourl Is as-

sessed 26 per cent higher than In the Re-

publican State of Illinois; per cent higherthan In Kansas, and 57 per cent higher thanIn Iowa.

"Does this look like the Democrats of3I!.'souri rare discriminating in favor of therailroads?

"But Colonel Dalton's organ, the Globe-Democr- at,

says tho Democratic State Boardhas not assessed tho street railways of St.Eouls high enough. I do not know- - as tothlj. but I do know the Republican Boardof City Assessors, which prior to 1SS7 as-

sessed the street railways, valued them atless than J6.000.000. and that the State BsardIncreased this to nearly three times thatsum.

"I know, further, that, while the Repub-lican Beard of Assessors of the city of St.Louis valued the street railways at scarce-ly more than 10 per cent of their actualworth, this same city board assessed thereal estate at 70 per cent, or seven tiroesas much.

"And yet Colonel Dalton. proposes toplace the farmers of 31Issourl at tho mercyof Zlegenheinlsm.

"He knows full well that St. Eouls domi-nates tho Republican party In 3Ilssourl.while the Democracy has It3 great strengthwith tho people out in the State.

"If Colonel Dalton wants an object-lesso- n

In the burdens of taxation, all he needsto do Is to pay taxes under Zlegenhelnlsm.

St. Loots an Object Lmion."He knows St. Lculs, under tho recklcs3

extravagance of tha present administra-tion, costs her property owners every yeardoublo tho sum In taxes that is expendedby the State for all purposes.

"He knows he pays In Federal taxes tentimes over what ha pays the State.

"Ha knows that under tho old RepublicanState Constitution tho Stato officers re-ceived salaries and fees which made themrich in a slnglo term.

"He knows that a Democratic Constitu-tion limited the compensation of Stato of-ficers to reasonable salaries and requiresall fees and special taxes to be paid intotho Stato Treasury, by which the depart-ments at the Stato capital are made prac-tically

"Ho knows that, while tha Constitutiononly requires $20,000 of the State debt tobo paid each year, tho Democratic admin-istration In the last four years paid overJiOOO.OuO of this debt In excess of tho con-stitutional requirement.

"Ho knows that Mr. Dockery, during hislong service In Congress, was recognized byboth parties as the most watchful man oftho public treasury of any member In eith-er house.

"Ho knows that with 3fr. Dockery asQovcrnor the eamo prudent, watchful careof State expenditures will characterize hisevery official act.

"Ho knows that before- Mr. Dockery'sterm is half over tho Stato bonded debtwill be wiped out and the Stato tax of 23cents reduced to 15 cents.

"What assurance havo the people of alike service on the part of Colonel Flory?"

"If the attack came from individuals theyshow themselves worthy of the unmitigatedcontempt of all decent people, but tf it ema-nated from the department of Justice orInterior, then It Is important that the peo-ple be made acquainted with the facts inorder that they may be able to mark thomen who would destroy the Independence

"The persons who would thus seek to de-throne Justice from her high place in a Re-public like ours deserves to sink to thedepths of Infamy, not touched by that cor-rupt King who had Jeffries for his bloodyminion. But we are not prepared to believethat either of these departments are re-sponsible for the publication mentioned andbelieve that time will acquit them of thecharge.

STORY OF ILL TREATMENT.

Kansas Volunteer Says McKinley,Administration Broke Faith

With Americans and Na-

V.V.I IT.I.IC frECTAL.Wichita. Kas.. Sept. H.-- R. A. Holman.

formerly a private In Company H, Eigh-

teenth Infantry, says that the Republicanadministration's treatment of the Filipinosand American soldiers has insured the en-

tire soldier vote for Bryan.When seen to-d- by a Republic corre-eopnde- nt.

3Ir. Holman said:"I was one of the many who responded

to arms In April, 1S08. having come fromSt. Louis to the West. 3Iy service In thearmy was short, but filled with woes. I amnot kicking on the fighting. No soldierwould do that. But there Is something be-

sides that. We were forced to fight menwhom we knew-- were our friends.

"We were put aboard a troopship at San Francisco and treated like dogsuntil we arrived at our destination. We-ha-

scarcely enough to sustain life duringthe trip, the officers having sold the ra-

tions Intended for us at Honolulu. Onour vessel was hundreds of boxes of fruitplaced tlure for us by the Red Cross So-

ciety, but we never got to taste It. Walanded nt Cavlte and were later Bent tCamp Dewey.

"Here wo were surrounded by the friend-ly natives who believed the Americansoldier had come to save them from thaSpaniards. They hovered around our campand called u.s 'amigos or friends. Ifound them a peace-lovin- g people. On thai:th of August we started on our marchto the trenches on an empty stomach.There was supuosed to be two days" rationsIn our knapsacks, but there was only avery small meal for one man. On thatday the Filipinos, who fought with us, didalt they could to help capture the city of3tanila from the Spaniards. The flag of ourcountry was placed over the captured cityat the withes of Auglnaldo and tha Fili-pinos. They seemed very happy that wowere to stay th-r-

With the invasion of tho American soldiersthe natives believed they were to be granted ,'ptheir liberty. They thought the freedomfor which they had so long fought wasabout to come at last. After we had beenstationed in the city of Manila. Agulnaldomoved his army back into the Interior, butasked that his men be admitted to and from,the town without being stopped. But. onFebruary 4. three native soldiers attemptedto go into 3Ianlla unarmed and were orderedback. They returned with their guns andtwo of them were killed and the third fled.This was tho commencement of the warwith them.

"Now, we had gone to that country totfight the Spaniards, and no other race offpeople. We were always ready to fight forwhat we thought was right. But I dokick on fighting the Filipinos.

"Not half the truth was allowed to basent out of the Philippines, and thosa cor-respondents who told tha truth about Otiswere ordered to leave the Island. X knowthis to bo a fact, and can prove ail that Isay. Lots of soldiers who went over to'thoso islands will come home If they enget away, and vote for W. J. Bryan, be- -"

cause the present administration has neverkept its word to the soldiers. Wa weragiven all kinds of inducements tobut I. for one. would never do It. I wasenlisted for three years, or until peace bo-rn een the two countries was declared. Whenit was declared we put in our application tobe discharged, and they went Into tha wastbasket. But. after a good deal of kicking.they commenced preparations to dischargethoso who were too strong In their denunol- -,

ntlon of the administration. At the somatime they made arrangements tous for two years longer. r

"Those who refused to war notallowed their travel pay. and those whodid wcro allowed the cash at the tha oftheir I was one who refrueato sell myself for a sum of $400 or SSOO.e,That money was rightly due us, and be ;causa wa refused to right the Innocent Fill-- (plnos, who wanted to become our friends. 10was taken away, and the-- soldiers weretreated worse than dogs. Such actions onthe part of President McKinley Insures theentire soldier vote for WUllam JermtnxaBryan."
