VOTE FOR NEEDHAM. Anaheimers will do the right thing by rolling up a big majority for our present efficient member of Congress—James C. Needham of Modesto—the ablest man who ever represented this district in Congress. Mr. Needham opened his campaign two years ago in Anaheim, and he has a warm place in his heart for this city, as he has for Orange county and every section of it. His record appeals forebly to everyone with the best interests of this district at heart. He voted for protection for our oranges and walnuts, without which there would not be a dollar in their culture. His predecessor, Dr. Castle, voted against protection for these industries, and if Mr. Crichton should unfortunately be elected, he will vote with his party against protection. Mr. Crichton in his speeches throughout the district has sought to straddle the question of the tariff. In Orange county he told the voters he favored tariff protection for local industries, but in other portions of the district he has been for a "tariff for revenue only." This will not do for the walnut and orange growers of the county. In San Diego some days ago Mr. Crichton issued what might be called an official statement as follows, concerning the tariff: "On the subject of tariff in a general sense, of course I am a Democrat, and my stand is taken on the well-known Democratic doctrine regarding that subject. That is to say, I am in favor of a tariff which really protects the American laborer and producer by furnishing revenue sufficient to discharge the obligations of the government without laying a direct tax upon him. But when a tariff is laid which permits large and powerful combinations of species foreign producer of fruits and grapes can get all the help he wants for two bits a day, the hands boarding themselves, we will find it uphill work when we undertake to compete in the open market while paying men $1 to $1.25 a day and board. We are further handicapped by the fact that the foreign producer of oranges, lemons, raisins, prunes and nuts can land his stuff in our eastern markets cheaper than we can get ours there. We even things up by means of a tariff upon imports. There is not a Democrat in the Seventh district who will claim this is wrong. They all say it is right. They say that free competition would drive us out of the business. We do not want to abandon our chief productions. Now, we want protection. Where can we best look for it? From a party that indorses the principle, or one that declares war upon it? Can we best get it by voting for what we want or what we do not want? We tried once to get protection for the Seventh district by electing a free trader, and made a dismal failure of it. Mr. Crichton stands with his party, as he should. What weight will he have to secure protection for us when he goes armed with a club for other producers? We want a man in Congress who can ask the protection of our industries as a right and pull the election returns to prove that we voted for what we want. We want a man to represent us fairly, with no false pretenses; one who accords other industries what he asks for ours. Such a man is J. C. Needham. He is not one thing in the Seventh district and another thing in Washington; not one thing in a political convention and something else on the stump; not demanding one thing among politicians and something different among farmers. Mr. Needham has done good work for us, and will again. There are no blowholes in his faith. What he tells us he tells the lawmakers in Washington. We know what to expect of him. We have his work, not mere words. Our homes and wives and children are of more concern to us than are the cut-throat Malaysians coined, up to January 1, 1896, $547,914,340 of silver, about $400,000 of which were standard dollars. From January 1, 1896, to the 30th of last June there was coined $250,586 of standard silver dollars nearly as much silver in four years as was coined in the 27 years before the "crime." During the first three years President Cleveland's administration there was coined $76,713,191 silver—nearly three times as many. Now, where should the "Free-ver Republican" cast his ballots with the party which has been a friend to silver, or with a party which is doing all the shows about it? Census Figures. Orange county shows the third lowest percentage of increase among counties of the State. Kern comes with an increase of 68 per cent. Angeles is next with 67.8 per cent. Orange follows with an increase per cent. The figures for the southern counties, with their population in 1900 and 1890, are as follows: Counties...1900 Los Angeles...170,228 Orange...19,696 Riverside...17,867 San Bernardino...27,929 San Diego...35,000 Santa Barbara...18,934 Ventura...14,367 Totals...304,211 In 1890 the population of what lies Riverside county was included in Bernardino and San Diego county. The aggregate increase of these counties amounts to 102,861, or 5 percent. This is about 40 per cent of total increase shown by the 57 counties of the State. Many of the counties of the north have retrograded population of several of them follows: Countries...1900 Butte...17,117 Colusa...7,346 Meredith...9,125 Stanislawus...9,550 Sutter...5,886 Yolo...13,618 Yuba...8,629 Totals...71,262 These figures show a net aggrease decrease for the seven counties o Mr. Crichton issued what might be called an official statement as follows, concerning the tariff: "On the subject of tariff in a general sense, of course I am a Democrat, and my stand is taken on the well-known Democratic doctrine regarding that subject. That is to say, I am in favor of a tariff which really protects the American laborer and producer by furnishing revenue sufficient to discharge the obligations of the government without laying a direct tax upon him. But when a tariff is laid which permits large and powerful combinations of special interests to lay a burden of taxation on their shoulders, which does not go into the coffers of the general government, which these laborers and producers have to pay whenever they have to purchase the ordinary necessities of life, why you can say that to such a tax as that I am strictly and uncompromisingly opposed." Mr. Crichton here tells the fruit growers of California, those who make a living by growing oranges, lemons, raisins, walnuts, almonds and wine, that he is in favor of a "tariff for revenue only." Our fruit farmers have had one experience with a tariff for revenue only that is still fresh in their memories. They recall the low prices they received under the free-trade Wilson tariff bill, and under what discouragements they pluckily hung on until a change in the political complexion of Congress enabled the framing and passage of the Dingley tariff law, and they know how bright their financial sky has been since. Knowing these things, it would be folly to vote for any man who thus boldly enunciates his adherence to a theory that means ruin to our fruit growers. The California farmer is a clear-headed man of business. He knows what he wants, and he will get what he wants by voting for James Carson Needham for re-election to Congress. Eight years ago, on Cleveland's election to the Presidency, the Democratic walnut and orange growers of this county petitioned Congress to do just exactly what they had voted against—the asked for a tariff on walnuts and oranges. Men who were the most insistent shouters' for "Cleveland and tariff reform," were the most alert in circulating these petitions, which asked for protection for their products. This year they have the same question submitted to them again. Will they vote as they did before, or will they vote against their own interests, and then rely upon the right to petition, as they did eight years ago? Be it remembered, their prayerful petition was denied. The Wilson tariff bill was passed, and its disastrous provisions continued in effect until repealed by the Republican Dingley tariff, under which protection is afforded our another thing in Washington; not one thing in a political convention and something else on the stump; not demanding one thing among politicians and something different among farmers. Mr. Needham has done good work for us, and will again. There are no blowholes in his faith. What he tells us he tells the lawmakers in Washington. We know what to expect of him. We have his work, not mere words. Our homes and wives and children are of more concern to us than are the cut-throat Malays 8000 miles away. Sniveling over the imaginary woes of those fellows cannot obscure our real interests. Mr. Needham has worked for us faithfully. Not a single reason has been given to justify dropping him now. We can't afford it. His election is of more importance to us than it is to him. CALDWELL AND HASSON. Republicans should look well to their ballots and see that A. A. Caldwell, for State Senator, and D. W. Hasson, for Assemblyman, have their suffrages on election day. Each candidate needs the undivided support of his party. The redistricting of the State will be the most important duty to fall to the new Legislature. The boundaries of congressional, senatorial and assembly districts will be revised and adjusted in accordance with the population in the various sections of the State, and the party in control of the Legislature will naturally look to its best interests in this important work. We now have a sample of Democratic gerrymandering in our own Seventh congressional district, which is over 600 miles long, and runs to a point further north than the city of San Francisco; and was so constituted to insure the election of a Democratic Congressman. Republicans of Orange county and the loyal citizens of all parties who are supporting President McKinley should lend their undivided assistance to the Republican nominees for State Senator and Assemblyman. This is no time to endanger your party by casting a complimentary vote for the opposition nominee. You are voting not for a man, but for a party and for party principles. Republicans who believe in the policies of William McKinley believe in the policies of A. A. Caldwell and D. W. Hasson, and the policies which they are pledged to support in the event of their election. Voters cannot afford, through personal friendship for a man who will use his influence to tear down all that Republicanism has accomplished, to vote to place this State in the hands of the Democrats for ten EDITOR GAZETTE — Some time ago a document in the hands of enthusiasts went the rounds of O County, and signatures were carried for all directions. The design petition was to prohibit the sale of toxicating liquors in all incorp towns in the county. I am among who enrolled their names—not to conscience approved of my doctub but I could not resist the carriage treaties of the parties who had no of the document. Among their arguments was which I distinctly remember: "want a glass of beer, you can always in Anaheim." What was ripe to read the document received from the office of the Bo Supervisors! This is the way it is. "An ordinance prohibiting the nature of selling and the sale of spirituous, distilled, malt-mix other intoxicating liquors with county of Orange, State of Calif except for medical, chemical purposes." In the face of these words, I ask the voters of this county if their nature and all other signatures petition were not obtained under pretenses? We all signed to put the sale of liquor in unincornished towns, and now without consultations they have changed the word the petition so as to drive them out of the whole county. If this fraudulent on the part of the Union party, I would like to know fraud is. Had the original been worded in the terms of it just issued from the office of the visors, how many signatures would been attached to it? I venture not more than one-third of the run for simple reason that many signers are men with a conscience a sense of fair play, too. Am signs of the petition were church members, and I ask they endorse the action of them who changed the word of their ment and took in the whole stead of the unincorporated town ask the church-going people if natures to the petition were not by false pretenses? The matter has another aspect are we to deal with the hundred liquor trade who have their last cent in the business are doing a legitimate trade said by the government, for which a heavy license, and the the most alert in circulating these petitions, which asked for protection for their products. This year they have the same question submitted to them again. Will they vote as they did before, or will they vote against their own interests, and then rely upon the right to petition, as they did eight years ago? Be it remembered, their prayerful petition was denied. The Wilson tariff bill was passed, and its disastrous provisions continued in effect until repealed by the Republican Dingley tariff, under which protection is afforded our industries, and good prices prevail. Will the Democrats of this section vote as they did eight years ago? We know some who will not—who have abandoned that party, and will vote for McKinley, Roosevelt and Needham. Here are some of them: A. H. Cargill, a life-long Democrat and his son, Stuart Cargill. Alex. Henry and his three sons, Innis, John and Archie, who never voted for a Republican in their lives. A. T. Pendleton, J. C. Sheppard, A. V. Smith, Theo. Staley and his son Arthur, among the best-known walnut growers of the Fullerton and Placentia country. F. A. Korn, Mr. Dahlman, Charley Allegeyer, James Forbes, Joseph Thales, prosperous farmers. Here are sixteen Democrats who will vote the Republican ticket next Tuesday; and we know nearly as many more who will go and do likewise. Orange county ought to be good for 500 majority for Needham, and while we are at it, we might as well make it 600 for even measure. There is no district in the United States more vitally concerned in the maintenance of the protective tariff, as the Tulare Register aptly remarks, than the Seventh district of California. We may realize this more next year than we do this. We will not always confront short crops abroad, nor imports of foreign products quarantined. So long as the You are voting not for a man, but for a party and for party principles. Republicans who believe in the policies of William McKinley believe in the policies of A. A. Caldwell and D. W. Haason, and the policies which they are pledged to support in the event of their election. Voters cannot afford, through personal friendship for a man who will use his influence to tear down all that Republicanism has accomplished, to vote to place this State in the hands of the Democrats for ten years. The Republican nominees are both honorable men; they have the highest respect of their home people, and they can be trusted in the Legislature of California. Vote for them, and keep the State where it belongs. There are a number of so-called "Free Silver Republicans" in this Supervisor district, with whom we wish a word before next Tuesday's election. We will direct their attention to what was said relative to free silver by the Examiner (the paper which they are now so blindly following) in its issue of Sept. 15th: "It is a pity that he [Mr. Bryan] has felt compelled to drag into renewed prominence the dead issue of the free coinage of silver. Much can happen—much has happened—in four years. What was possible in 1896 is impossible now. There is no longer any effective demand for free silver. The Republicans do not want it; the Democrats do not want it—even the Populists do not want it." We desire to present a few figures to these "Free Silver Republicans" which we ask them to consider before they cast their ballots on Tuesday. Previous to 1873 (the year of the "crime" against silver) the United States mints coined 80,000 silver dollars. That was in all the years from 1873 to the time of the beginning of the operation of the United States mints in 1846—27 years. Since 1873 the United States vote for the opposition nominee. For sprains, swellings and there is nothing so good as O'Lain's Palm Balm. Try it. For P. A. Derge, druggist. Rejoined, up to January 1, 1896, at 14,340 of silver, about $426,000 of which were standard coins. From January 1, 1896, to the 30th of June there was coined $75,-66 of standard silver dollars—as much silver in four years as coined in the 27 years before perime." During the first three years of Agent Cleveland's administration she was coined at the United States mints, from March 1, 1893, to 30, 1896, $26,602,689 in silver. During the first three years of Agent McKinley's administration from March 1, 1897, to April 30, there was coined $76,713,192 in nearly three times as much. Now, where should the "Free Sil-republican" cast his ballot—the party which has been a real ally to silver, or with a party which is doing all the shouting it? Census Figures. Range county shows the third largest percentage of increase among the cities of the State. Kern comes first in an increase of 68 per cent, Los Angeles is next with 67.8 per cent, and Mesa follows with an increase of 44 percent. The figures for the seven western counties, with their population in 1900 and 1890, are as follows: - Angeles: 1890 - Las Vegas: 1890 - Phoenix: 1890 - San Diego: 1890 - Bakersfield: 1890 - El Paso: 1890 - Sacramento: 1890 - San Francisco: 1890 - Oakland: 1890 - San Diego: 1890 The population of what is now outside county was included in San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Aggregate increase of these seven amounts to 102,861, or 51 per cent. This is about 40 per cent of the increase shown by the 57 counties in the north have retrograded. The relation of several of them is as follows: - Angeles: 1890 - Las Vegas: 1890 - Phoenix: 1890 - San Diego: 1890 - Bakersfield: 1890 - El Paso: 1890 - Sacramento: 1890 - San Francisco: 1890 These figures show a net aggregate decrease for the seven counties of 7131.

One is when times are growing harder and employers are retrenching in all possible ways, cutting wages and discharging help, and the other is when times have become good and there has been a general rise of prices as a result of better times. It is the misfortune of labor that it is almost the first to feel the pinch of tightening times and almost the last to feel the full effect of a returned prosperity. When times get bad labor is discharged or wages are cut very soon. When times begin to improve labor is taken on with some alacrity but the advance in wages seldom keeps pace with the advance in prices. Wages generally have to wait for the establishment of something like a stable price level commensurate with the new order of things. There is no doubt also a tendency for employers to delay the restoration of wages upon the return of better times, until after they have repaired the damage inflicted upon their capital by a season of hard times. While there are thousands of employers who do the right thing by labor without compulsion, and while hundreds and hundreds of manufacturing concerns throughout the country have increased wages voluntarily, it must be confessed that there are employers who are not thus liberal minded and who yield only to superior force. To meet this sort of aggressiveness on the part of the employer the employed can only organize themselves into a union and inaugurate a strike, and so compel a just share of the joint product of labor, ability and capital. And it may be confessed also that organized labor has encouraged by spirit of resentment against the encroachments of capital sometimes demanded more than was right or than could be conceded and have crippled their cause by making such unwarranted demands. It is not at all times the case that only one side is at fault. And yet it may be taken as generally true that labor has received that measure of reward which it has won for itself, and very much more. While demand and supply of labor are strong determining factors the insistence of organized labor on its rights has liftedotic men and women and their sleep on their arms that they ready to oppose wrong and right. The foregoing suggestions rest the self limiting tendencies made not with the view that trusts are not evils or are but they have not yet broadened country to that awful that “brink” that “chasmos” which clamorous politicians strive to induce people to give terror. The problem is serious men will solve it. But Republicans insist that lem that ever confronted human was ever solved by hysterical ing. Before there can be master difficulty must be known calm deliberation followed by but not intemperate action. The Republican policy is to gate and afterward to educate opinion to remedial measures. The policy of the new Democrat to exaggerate and vituperate at cite the public to an attempt for a self constituted leadership. Which policy is the more patriotic is for the wise and pertain determine. AMERICAN CAPITAL ART It is a fact that American seeking investment in foreign Tens of millions have been foreign governments and other millions are being invested in lands. It is a fact that interest is the United States right now any other country on earth are few new enterprises stand capital lies plethoric and unwilling banks. Why is this? Why is there as good use for American America as in Europe, South Asia in Mexico? Is ours an finished country half of this continent family water why are not irrigate building now that money is so low? Our towns are improving buildings are taking places ones on the farms. Our growing and car lines extend suburban districts but they mand for money does not simply Maggregate increase of these seven counties amounts to 102,861 or 51 per cent. This is about 40 per cent of the increase shown by the 57 counties in the north have retrograded. The relation of several of them is as follows: - Counties: 17,147, 17,839, 14,169, 7,346, 9,125, 8,985, 10,040, 5,886, 5,469, 12,684, 13,618, 12,684, 9,036 - Totals: 71,262, 78,383 These figures show a net aggregate decrease for the seven counties of 7131 between 1890 and 1900, or over 9 per cent. The census of 1890 credited more than 60 per cent of the increase to the southern counties, while several grain-growing counties in North-California showed a decrease. EDITOR GAZETTE: - Some months ago a document in the hands of a few enthusiasts went the rounds of Orange County, and signatures were canvassed in all directions. The design of the motion was to prohibit the sale of inciting liquors in all incorporated towns in the county. I am among those who enrolled their names—not that my conscience approved of my doing so, I could not resist the earnest entities of the parties who had charge of the document. Among their arguments was one which I distinctly remember: "If you want a glass of beer, you can always get an Anaheim." What was my purpose to read the document recently issued from the office of the Board of Supervisors! This is the way it reads: An ordinance prohibiting the business of selling and the sale of vinous, distilled, malt-mixed and water intoxicating liquors within the county of Orange, State of California, except for medical, chemical and mechanical purposes." On the face of these words, I beg to mention the voters of this county if my signature and all other signatures on the petition were not obtained under false pretenses? We all signed to prohibit the sale of liquor in unincorporated towns, and now without consulting anyone they have changed the wording of the petition so as to drive the business of the whole county. If this is not unadult on the part of the Prohibition party, I would like to know what is involved. Had the original petition been worded in the terms of the one that issued from the office of the Superiors, how many signatures would have been attached to it? I venture to say more than one-third of the number; the simple reason that many of the men are men with a conscience and sense of fair play, too. Among the men of the petition were many church members, and I ask them if they endorse the action of the parties who changed the wording of the document and took in the whole county instead of the unincorporated towns? I for the church-going people if the signatures to the petition were not obtainable by false pretenses? The matter has another aspect: How we deal with the hundreds in the liquor trade who have invested last cent in the business? They do a legitimate trade sanctioned by the government, for which they pay heavy license, and the Prohibition law. THE TRUST ITS OWN PARTIAL REMEDY. That the trust problem is a serious one no Republican will deny, and yet it presents certain aspects of hopefulness to those who can so far control their fright as to examine it with calmness and reflect on it with fortitude. The trust is to a considerable degree self limiting. The conservatism of bankers and investors has put a stop to the craze for trust formation that swept over the country a year or two ago. It has occurred to thoughtful people too, that in so far as the trust is a natural effort to secure greater efficiency of production by means of a higher degree of centralization under the direct supervision of one keen mind and strong will, it is probably not to be legislated against with success. And, too, if prices are not advanced unjustly through the workings of a trust the public law has no rational ground for interference. If, on the other hand, prices are unjustly advanced the tendency is to create opposition to the trust by the organization of some powerful competitor. An unjust advance of prices turn the attention of consumers to the use of substitutes for the product controlled. Why is this? Why is there as good use for American America as in Europe, South Asia in Mexico? Is ours an finished country half of this continent famed water, why are not irrigation building now that money is so expensive? Our towns are improving buildings are taking places on the farms. Our growing and car lines extend suburban districts, but they must for money does not supply. This is not a perfectly headline. Our country has been to a giant in swaddling clothes there ought to be used in Amtrak's profits of American enterprise the extension of industries for turries to come, and yet our pouring out of the country in rejection. For capital is fluid and where it is wanted. No dyck can strain it within any country. It will be of small use to B obscure reason. There is a lack which declares that the area and not the remote cause or shall be taken to account for this instance the approxim seems to be sufficient to acco phenomenon. The fact of the matter is that can capital is being driven from through fear of Bryanism, Altgeldism, through a spread gospel of hate, through a financial experiment, through setting vice of partisan demise. This is a most unwelcome fact is a fact, and demands thorough sideration on the part of every American. Amnihilate this now faint listic Democracy at this elec tion to a roaring Bryanism th ewhich a crushing defeat will it and proceed at once to th e tion of the conservative pro abiding Democracy which two Grover Cleveland to the present will be a stop put to American capital and Amtrakprises will afford safe invi lts in the savings of the American. It stands the American vote to give this phase of our income some good, hard, serious ness. Let him ask himself should be more cheap and add this new and partially dev ely try of ours than in any of th e highly developed countrie d. And let him answer in any other rational w answered if he can. And if lot him take the foregoing fo rd and vote accordingly. TEN REASONS W Here are ten facts of Phi tory which, if any voter w himself and be honest with his country, will cause him The simple reason that many of the owners are men with a conscience and sense of fair play, too. Among the owners of the petition were many church members, and I ask them if they endorse the action of the parties who changed the wording of the document and took in the whole county instead of the unincorporated towns? I ask the church-going people if the signatures to the petition were not obtainable by false pretenses? The matter has another aspect: How do we deal with the hundreds in the liquor trade who have invested their last cent in the business? They are doing a legitimate trade sanctioned by the government, for which they pay heavy license, and the Prohibition party has little right to interfere with their vested rights as they have to prohibit the sale of groceries or the want of sugar beets. I have three questions to ask the prohibition party. The first is: "Does prohibition prohibit?" If the answer yes, my reply is, that I was a visitor to Riverside and Redlands last week, and during the three days spent there saw more drunk men than I have seen in Anaheim and Santa Ana in six weeks. Let us come nearer home. How about Long Beach with its dry ordinance? The fact is, you can get all you want to drink at all the prohibition towns, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The next question I would ask my prohibition friends is: "Does it not spell of tyranny for five men to dictate a dozen what they shall and shall not drink? Is it not a free country?" The last question I want answered is: Are the saloon keepers of Anaheim and Santa Ana in the habit of going on the streets and asking people in drink? How very seldom do you see a solon keeper even standing at the door of his saloon. And in the county newspapers their advertisements are so small that you can hardly see them, and they have as good a right to advertise as the grocer or the dry goods merchant, and their business, if properly conducted, is equally respectable. In the face of what I have said I ask the honest voters of Orange county to consider the matter seriously before supporting the ordinance just issued from the office of the Supervisors, and for one will try to get equal with the audulent means adopted to get my name on the original petition by doing what I can to perpetuate personal freedom in a free country.

Scott, County Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, will speak at the Christian church this (Thursday) evening. Everybody is invited. Banker Routes a Robbery. J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the bank of Thorville, Ohio, had been robbed of health by a serious lung trouble until he tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Then he wrote: "It is the best medicine I ever used for a severe cold or a bad ease of lung trouble. I always keep a bottle on hand." Don't suffer with colds, coughs or any throat, chest or lung trouble when you can be cured so easily. Only 50c. and $1. Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store. Of centralization under the direct supervision of one keen mind and strong will, it is probably not to be legislated against with success. And, too, if prices are not advanced unjustly through the workings of a trust the public law has no rational ground for interference. If, on the other hand, prices are unjustly advanced the tendency is to create opposition to the trust by the organization of some powerful competitor. An unjust advance of prices turns the attention of consumers to the use of substitutes for the product controlled by a trust and nearly every product in the market has a substitute of some sort. The consumer has another very efficacious way of punishing a trust for an unjust advance of prices. He diminishes consumption, gets along with less, and the market of the trust is injuriously restricted. There is a limit beyond which the trust cannot go in its oppression of labor, for the dearest labor in the world is an underpaid labor that knows that it is underpaid. The service it renders is unwilling and an unwilling service is always a costly service." There is also a limitation to the size of trusts fixed by the obtainable capacity for management. When trusts attempt more than the managers can manage there is a general breakdown and dissolution of the trust. As a matter of fact not one of the great trusts recently formed secured entire control of any industry. Even the Standard Oil company does not control production of the oil, but only the refining. The trusts that have been successful, and are likely to be permanent, are those that rest satisfied with the economies of concentration under a single management and are not trying to raise prices unjustly or to oppress labor. Time is, after all, the best cure of most ills and some of the evils of trusts will work out their own cures, and yet when these cures shall have been effected there will be enough of evil remaining to give profound concern to patriotism under the direct supervision of one keen mind and strong will, It is probably not to be legislated against with success.

When the attack was made with the avowed terminating all foreign correspondence of Filipinos proves this beyond question. The Tagalos are these insurrection against our nation and they constitute only one eighty, and are but a small part of the whole Filipino people, a minority of the Tagalog American authority, but... THE Kid-Fitting Corset THE BEST CORSET. Why? Because they are the most dressy and comfortable Corsets ever produced. Because there is more quality in a "Kid-Fitting" than in any other. Try one.

It is a fact that American capital is seeking investment in foreign countries. Tens of millions have been loaned to foreign governments and other tens of millions are being invested in foreign lands. It is a fact that interest is lower in the United States right now than in any other country on earth, yet there are few new enterprises starting, and capital lies plethoric and unused in the banks. Why is this? Why is there not just as good use for American capital in America as in Europe, South America, in Asia, in Mexico? Is ours an finished country? With half of this continent famishing for water, why are not irrigation works building now that money is so cheap? Our towns are improving. Better buildings are taking places of the old ones on the farms. Our cities are growing and car lines extending to suburban districts, but the home demand for money does not equal the supply. that does reject it is a war party and holds the majority quiescent by intimidation. 7. The Filipino people never had any other government but that of Spain which was weak and corrupt and never taught the Filipino people even the rudiments of self-government, and they are not now capable of self-government and will not be until the American school house has made a way for self-government. 8. The Tagalos have not the moral or civic principles which would make it safe to trust them to govern the other peoples of the islands or to protect the foreign interests there. 9. If our forces were withdrawn anarchy would reign in no time at all, there would be wars between the several tribes, which hate each other, and some European power would interfere, or we would have to go back with our Why is this? Why is there not just as good use for American capital in America as in Europe, South America, in Asia, in Mexico? Is ours an finished country? With half of this continent famishing for water, why are not irrigation works building now that money is so cheap? Our towns are improving. Better buildings are taking places of the old ones on the farms. Our cities are growing and car lines extending to suburban/districts, but the home demand for money does not equal the supply. This is not a perfectly healthful condition. Our country has been likened to a giant in swaddling clothes and there ought to be use in America for the profits of American enterprises in the extension of industries for five centuries to come, and yet our capital is pouring out of the country in every direction. For capital is fluid and will flow where it is wanted. No dykes or dams can restrain it within the borders of any country. It will be of small use to hunt for an obscure reason. There is a legal maxim which declares that the approximate and not the remote cause of an effect shall be taken to account for it, and in this instance the approximate cause seems to be sufficient to account for the phenomenon. The fact of the matter is that American capital is being driven from America through fear of Bryanism, Populism, Altgeldism, through a spreading of the gospel of hate, through distrust of financial experiment, through the setting vice of partisan demagogy. This is a most unwelcome fact, but it is a fact, and demands thoughtful consideration on the part of every patriotic American. Amnihilate this new fangled Populistic Democracy at this election. Give to a roaring Bryanism that quietus which a crushing defeat will visit upon it and proceed at once to the reorganization of the conservative, prudent, law-abiding Democracy which twice elevated Grover Cleveland to the presidency and there will be a stop put to the outflow of American capital and American enterprises will afford safe investment for the savings of the American people. It stands the American voter in hand to give this phase of our industrial life some good, hard, serious thoughtfulness. Let him ask himself why money should be more cheap and abundant in this new and partially developed country of ours than in any of the old, more highly developed countries of this earth. And let him answer that question in any other rational way than here answered if he can. And if he cannot, let him take the foregoing for an answer and vote accordingly. TEN REASONS WHY Here are ten facts of Philippine history which, if any voter will take to himself and be honest with himself and his country, will cause him to vote to never taught the Filipino people even the rudiments of self-government, and they are not now capable of self-government and will not be until the American school house has made a way for self-government. 8. The Tagalos have not the moral or civic principles which would make it safe to trust them to govern the other peoples of the islands or to protect the foreign interests there. 9. If our forces were withdrawn anarchy would reign in no time at all, there would be wars between the several tribes, which hate each other, and some European power would interfere, or we would have to go back with our armies and do the work all over again. 10. It is the hope of Bryan success in the impending presidential election that is the very life of the insurrection. Defeat Bryan and the insurrection will cease, order will be everywhere restored, the honor of the nation will be preserved and the Filipino peoples will be educated in self-government as rapidly as possible and be given self-government just as fast as they can be made ready for it. The foregoing are well established facts, and there is no way getting away from them except to run away from them and that is cowardly. As to standing between them and the outside world, the Republican position is that where responsibility rests there must sovereignty abide. When the Philippines become independent they must assume responsibility to the world. As long as the United States must stand responsible to the world for them it must hold sovereignty over them. This is common sense, not criminal aggression. Finally, the Republican contention is that the United States, being a nation with all the sovereign powers of a national existence, can do what it ought to do and will not plead a constitutional incapacity for doing what needs to be done in order to fully discharge its solemn duties to the Filipino people as a whole, to other people resident or interested there, to the other nations of the earth and to its own citizens and their industrial and commercial interests. On that platform the Republican party takes its stand before the people and the nations. A government for the Philippines is now being established under the executive power of the president, as Jefferson established a government for Louisiana and Monroe for Florida. When peace has thus been restored and congress has become fully advised as to the facts, territorial forms of government will be established in the islands giving larger measure of self-government. Finally, after the American school house has done its work, doubtless a more responsible and altogether self-governing form of government will be accorded the Filipinos. Then, if they want it, independence, but if this consummation be reached in the course of two generations it will be quicker done than prudent statesmen now deem probable. Sure! Orange Post.

Here are two facts of Philippine history which, if any voter will take to himself and be honest with himself and his country, will cause him to vote to sustain the Philippine policy of President McKinley. There is no escape from them except to refuse to look at them or refuse to abide by the truth. Paste them in your hat and look at them until you have mastered them. 1. No alliance was made with Aguinaldo, either explicitly or by implication, by our government or any of its authorized agents. This is attested by the same authority as the above. 2. The Filipinos took no part in the attack on Manila, which was taken by the unaided efforts of the American soldiers. This is attested by the same authority as the above. 3. The Tagalos were on hand, however, to loot the city when it had been captured, and sought to follow the American soldiers in for that purpose. This fact is also attested as above. 4. When the Tagalos made war on our forces the United States Senate was still involved in the discussion of the Bacon resolution considering whether or not the Philippines would be treated as we had promised to treat Cuba—give it independence. Therefore they were not warring for independence, but for loot. 5. When the attack was made it was made with the avowed intention of exterminating all foreigners. Captured correspondence of Filipino officials proves this beyond question. 6. The Tagalos are the only ones in insurrection against our government, and they constitute only one tribe out of eighty, and are but a small minority of the whole Filipino people, and it is only a minority of the Tagalos who reject American authority, but the minority Finally, after the American school house has done its work, doubtless a more responsible and altogether self-governing form of government will be accorded the Filipinos.
