Don't Be Deceived.

IT ia really astonishing -wihat a vastamount of interest the averageDemocrat leader, nowadays, is

taking in the peoples of ortiher coun-tries and how utterly oblivious he isto the condition of the people, theplain, common people, so to speak, intMs country.

There are, probably, more content-ed men, women and children to thesquare" mile in tihe United 'States to-day, •proportionaJteOy, than ait any othertime In Its history, and all this h'ascome to pass since the last iDemocrat-ic national administration went outof power and the present administra-tion of William McKinley came intofeeing. 'Nobody wants to talk aboutthe last Democratic administration, itis too disagreeable a subject—suggestshard times, soup houses and 'tihe dikeof that.

The Democratic leaders knowtMs; Bryan knows it; Richard Crokerknows iit; so does the editor of 01local contemporary, Dr. Bixby.

Under President McKtaley the peo-ple of these United States (have flour-ished mightily and the Democrats, iuorder to call attention from this fact,are busy talking up, and writing up,the ills of other peoples—tihe Filipinos,the Boers, the CfMnese, the Asiaticsland the lnhaihi<tants of Terra del Fue-go.

The amoimt of love, possessed bythe Democrat anxious to get into of-fice, for tihe murderous Filipino whosebolo is dripping with the blood ofsomie brave Yankee boy in blue hhas treacherously ambushed, is sur-prising, is phenomenal.

Now It would be good sense foraverage voter, this fall, personally tolook out for himself and let Demo-cratic leaders and foreign peoples pad-dle their own cacaoes. This certainlyseems to bo tihe part of wisdom whenit is considered that to 'haul down th.flag in tihe Philippines we (have alsogot to sulb-miit to a debased cuirreifree trade and other evils named atlength in the Democr'ati'c platformand against which a.bout hartf the con-scientious Democrats in the land areopposed in spirit.

Condensed into two words the planof the Democratic campaign is "dustthrowing" to blind the eyes of thepeople to what are really their vital in-terests and mislead them into plac-ing t/ho Bryaroites fai power. TheDemocratic pilea is not better tiifor the laboring man, biilt better timesfor some other country—'better times*for the Filipino by removing all re-straint upon hi.s insthurts for mmami ravage; belter times for Englandand Gorman y and France by openingour doors freely to their manufac-tures. And the only ones In this mtry who wiJH benefit 'by this clhangewill lie the Democrats "wilvo will getInto office and enjoy good sala/rleethe advantages of bard tiimes'prices, from Bryan 'down, while tihelaboring man, the mecluuiic, tihe mer-chant and the manufacturer, will eachjn his reppwtivo sphere confront theold familiar conditions of Clevelandruin and despair of 4392-96.

Mr. Bryan perdied on an automobileand making 'hard-luck speeches U aspectacle enksilnteii to add to the bi-Inrlty of the situation.

FOR r> CKXTS.

I No Confidence tn a Party tbat I>cnlcn.Self-Government nt Home.

am asked to state briefly why Tthink anti-imperialists should vote forPresident McKinley this fall. Thereis in my judgment suc<h a thing asimperialism, and such a thing as anti-imperialisuu. The imperialist says thePhilippine Islands aro ours. Theanti-imperialists say the PhilippineIslands belong to tihe Philippinepeople. The imperialist says he willestablish for them the best govern-ment we 'think they are fit for. Thean ti-imperialists sny they [have a.right to establish for -themselves such ja government as they think good andfit flor tJbamselves.

It la thoroughly unmanly and un-Americau to take to the Woods.Either President McKinley or Mr.Bryan will be chosen. Voting for athird party under the circumstances,

10 better than not to vote at all.You may as well leave your vote witmthe census officer as to leave it wiih

election officer, unless you votofor one or the other of these two men.

Now. President McKinley made thetreaty, and Mr. Bryan, when its de-

>ul was assured, came to Washing-ton and saved it These two great

litical leaders, between whom youe to take your choice, are equally

responsible for everything tbat hashappened so far. When t'he treaty be-eanre the law of the land, the publicfaith was pledged to pay $20,000,000

sovereignty over the PhilippineIslankis, and that. Congress, and not

people, should dispose of themhereofter. It. became the constitutlon-.1 duty of the President, until Con-

gress should act, or declare otherwise,reduce them to order and submis-

siion. The Supreme Court of theUnited States so held long ago. Theonly difference up ito this point betweenPresident McKinley and Mr. Bryan isthat President McKinley believed hewas doing right, belonged to a partyvbich had always been, as he hiwi-:elf had been, the champion of politi-cal liberty, In the past, and is ri^hton all of the other questions thiat stake in the coming election, andis fit to be trusted with all new aues-tions that ahall arise. On t)he otherhand, Mr. Bryan thought the wholetransaction wrong, makes some thinand frivolous excuses for his conduct,and the party with whom he acts;and the men who surround himand will surround him as his coun-

(lora are men who have beenthe opponents of righteousness,equality and civil liberty alwaysIn the past, are wrong on all the othergreat questions tli&t are at stake inthe present election, and are not, in

iy judgment, to be trusted with newquestions, however important OT vital,that are to come up in the future.

I say to the lover of liberty, I sayto tihe anrti-imperialist, I say to theman who thinks the Republican partyhas made a great and grievous mis-take, YOU cannot look for the correc-tion of that mistake to a candidate orto a party who, wthatever they maythink of the principles applied to, tb<Philippine Islands, mean to applythose principles in tlhelr worst formto citizens of the United States.

In the .matter of imperialism therehas been Mtle practical difference be-tween Presiaent McKinley and Mr.Bryan in the past. There will be lit-tle practical difference In the future.Mr. Bryan does hot even promise touse Oiis power as Executive and Com-mander-in-Chief in calling our troopLfrom the Philippines. He only prom-ises to call Congress together. Heknows very well he cannot 'commandeven the strongith of his own partyto undo th© mischief whidh. seventeenof his own followers in the ISemaite. athis own instance, wrought when theyratified the treaty—Messrs. MCEnery,McLaurln. Morgan, Pet.tus, SullivanAllen, ButJpT, Harris. Teller, Kyle ardJones (of Nevada)—'have not changedtheir minds. Possibly Mr. Clay, ofGeorgila, and Mr. Kenney, of 'Dela-ware aimong Tiis associates .have do"e.so. It is hopeless, even if the Demo-crats get a tie, or even a mafority inrive Senate, to expect them to accom-plish anything in beUialf of the inde-pendence of the Philippine Islands.

In 1896 you regarded Mr. Bryan's•ampaign as a"ipassiona<te crusade of

dishonor." You said its success wouldbring with it not only adversity, butdisgrace. Would its success not bn'na

jrace now? Mr. Biryan said alt To-peka that if he were elected the freecoinage of silver should be accomplish-ed before atootfoer presidential elec-

l. Secretary Gage says he can law-fully accomplish it by executive poweralone. Whether Mr. Gaige be right inhis construction of the powers of thPresident, under existing law, I wllnot undertake to say. But I will un-dertake to say that Mr. Bryan will nhesitate to use that power if he luthe great authority of Mr. Gage forits lawfulness. I do not believe theman who promoted the ratification ofthe Spanish treaty means business intills matter of the Philippine Islands.But I do believe ho means business inthe matter of the free coinage of sil-ver, in the master of free trade,in 'hia purpose to reconstruct the Su-preme Court. He means bad business.He means business which willthrow prosperity and embarass man-ufacture; which will reduce wages anddestroy credit; which will'debauch thcurrency and render fhe standard ofvalue uncertain; which will "Impairthe obligation of contracts and tih<value of savings; which will hurt oucredit, a.nd break our faith. All tibl;you believe, as I do. You said so in1896. You ha^o been confirmedyornr opinion by everything tWat h;ishappened since. Will you support,candidate who, if he 'have bis wav, youadmit will accomplish all tlhJese tfhings.because 'he amd his party jdve vo>i anempty premise of justice to 10,000,000Asiait'cs, and at. the Same time threat-en grievous injustice. and wrong to 10-000,000 Americans?

T will not vote for a candidate forthe Presidency, or help to bringparty Into power who, while they planto-e heel on the foreWead of BookerWashington, and the at/her on thforehead of Robert Small, wave thflag over Agulnaldo and Mabini.

Mr, Wever'a

The case of John M. • Wever againstthe assessors of the town lof Platts-burgh came up before the SupremeCourt at Ballston, Tuesday.

Mr. Corbin, wtoo represents the as-sessors, proposed the name of Wtoi. P.Cantwell of Malone for referee. Mr.Wheeler, who represents Mr, Wever,said that Mr. Cantwell had recentlytold hiim that 'he wouM not accept-anyreferences. Mr. Thomas Cantwellwas .then agreed upon for referee.

The complaint of Mr. Weaver isthat t'he assessors assessed his houseand lot on Ou-mberland avenue at$'1,000. sMr. Wever claims that thisia an over-valuation, <and that, if itstands, he will have to pay more thanhis fair share of taxes. Although Mr.Wever is very modest about tihe valueof his own house and lot. he estimatesothers quite roMnd'y. For instance:W. W. Hartwell's residence at .?50,000;I,. L. Smith's roslrtencfi, $10,000; Mrs.T. Rogers' residence, SHi.000; C. B

IMartm's residence, SIS,000; Mrs. J. O.Smith's' -residence. §12,000; Jtoa. Pay-ette's residence, $8,000.
