HANNA HITS BRYAN.
Takes the Democrat’s Letter of Ac-
ceptance for His Text.
The Ohio Senator Make* Telllnu
Speech to t litciiKnnii*—Demo-
cratic Candidate** Ponition
Ably AsMulled.
Senator Mark A. Jlannn, uf the Me-
Kin-ley Commercial club. Chicago, oh
Tuesday, September 1*. made a vigor-
ous address upon Bryan's letter of ac-
ceptance, in which he said:
“I take for my text Mr. Hryan’s views
on the minor tssuea of the campaign as set
forth In his letter of acceptance published
to-day. Just before the democratic con-
vention at Kansas City many pilgrimages
were made to Lincoln, Neb., by democratic
missionaries at the urgent call of Mr. Bry-
an. This was for the purpose of putting
Bryan’s pet scheme of tree sliver in the
platform.
"But, if you remember correctly, that is-
sue was only placed in the platform hy a
majority of one vote of the committor.
Now Bryan has relegated the silver issue
to the* rear, and brings out imperialism as
the chief Issue. Bryan gained this Issue
when the treaty was made with Spain in
whl**h the Philippine islands were pur-
chased. He went to Washington and by
his own inliuehce forced certain democrat-
ic senators to adopt the treaty. In order
that the democratic party might tight
against it Li the coming campaign. That
proves that Bryan lias not tlie courage to
stand hy his own convictions.
"Bryan’s letter speaks of trusts. Yet he
does not mention the Ice trust or the cotton
bale trust. Jn the latter Senator Jones is
heavily interested. Every one knows the
story of the ice trust. As Bryan declares
that the trust Is one of the main issues of
this campaign, 1 can say that we are ready
to meet him on that proposition as well as
on any other.
(fauna'* Relation* with Lalior.
"Bryan also makes much ado concerning
the conflict between capital and organized
labor. For myself, I have this to say; 1
was the first man in Ohio to recognize or-
ganized labor. It was In 1871, when 1 was
in tiie coul business in Cleveland, O. John
Seaney and John James, president and sec-
retary of the first bituminous coal miners’
organization in the United States, called
upon me and stated that the miners had
organized into a union.
"As I was u leading coal operator, the two
gentlemen urged me to use my Influence In
organizing the operators. That was my
first experience with a trust. I organized
the operators in the district in which I was
interested, and during my entire experi-
ence there we never had a strike or trouble
of any kind.
"I want to make this statement here, once
and for all, in reply to all these charges and
insinuations with reference to my aspect
toward labor: If any man in the United
States of America can bring into my pres-
ence a man who has ever worked for me
and truthfully state and substantiate that
I have refused to meet at any time and
anywhere any man in my employ, that 1
have ever intentionally done any man a
harm, that I have ever Insisted on lower-
ing wages to any man who works for me,
or who can truthfully say that 1 have done
evil to him, 1 will resign from the United
States senate to-morrow. (Great applause.)
i made the proposition in 1897; i have found
no takers, and it is still open. (Laughter
and applause.)
Republican Party Against Trout*.
"Now, then, about this trust question, a
few words more. I would like to have Mr.
Bryan or any other democrat tell me what
a trust is. I don’t believe there is a trust
in the United States, for every state law
arid national law will destroy any trust
that comes within its jurisdiction; and the
only laws, state and national, that have
ever been put upon statute books were en-
acted by the republican party. (A Voice:
Never enforced.) Yes, they are enforced.
(Voices: Put him out.) No, don’t put him
out. I don’t want to put anybody out. (A
Voice, lie is a good democrat; he shoots in
the rear.)
"We have no objections to the democratic
party being opposed to trusts, but they
have got no patent on it. (Laughter.)
Uryun’H Policy for PliIlIppineM.
"Now then, one word more with refer-
ence to the position of Mr. Bryan upon
this Philippine question—and it has been
so thoroughly exploded that I won’t men-
tion it except in passing. I recited to you
the part that he took in the execution of
that treaty, and the authority tha he used
with his party to ratify the treaty, and 1
think 1 have convinced a great many of
my hearers that his purpose and motive
was not patriotic. He tells the people of
the United States what he will do if he is
elected president of the United States. His
first act would be to haul down the Amer-
ican flag in the Philippines. (A Voice; ‘He
never could do it.’)
"Then he would establish a stable gov-
ernment—he doesn’t gay republican gov-
ernment—and probably put Aguinaldo at
the head of it. Then he said that he would
establish a protectorate by the United
States, pull down the American flag, with-
draw our soldiers from the soil, and leave
our buried dead there under the super-
vision of Aguinaldo. renounce e.very vestige
of power,. r;hieh has come .to us legally and
lawfully, and then establish a protectorate
—which means what? It means that the
government of the United States would be
obliged to protect the government of
Aguinaldo from all foreign foes and Inter-
ference. And what would be the result?
"Judging the future by the past. the next
actions oi Aguinaldo would be such as to
shock the civilized world; and. if for no
other reason, the nations would interfere
in the interests of humanity as we did in
Cuba. But if for selfish reasons any Eu-
ropean people should make up their minds
that they wanted a foothold in that archi-
pelago, and propose to take it. what would
he the duty of the United Slate* govern-
ment under Mr. Bryan’s ideas? We would
have to say: ‘No, hands off.’
Feat of Intellectual Acrobat.
"Mr. Bryan has performed a wonderful
feat, an acrobat isn’t in it, when he con-
veys the Monroe doctrine to Asiatic waters.
Who ever heard of such a thing? The Mon-
roe doctrine is founded purely and simply
in the determination on the part of the gov-
ernment of the United States that no for-
eign country should interfere in the west-
ern hemisphere. Mr. Bryan would do
what? Spread it all over the world and we
would stand behind and defend it. What
do you call that If it Isn’t imperialism? As
a result of that procedure we would find
ourselves Involved in all kinds of foreign
wars. (A Voice: That is right.) That is
true—and yet Mr. Bryan Is for peace. He
was for peace when he resigned from the
army and he has been for peace ever since.
1 am for peace. I’m a Quaker. I am lor
peace, but not peace at any price. I am
.ict for peace, and I know that the majority
A the people of this country are not for
peace, with that brigand Aguinaldo as long
as he is hiding in the bushes and shooting
down from ambush our boys in blue. (Ap-
plause.)
"But Mr. Bryan has already been driven
from his position on imperialism. He
knows now what many of us knew in the
oeginning—that It was only one rooster
that he was going to put in the pit. and he
would fight it as long as he could. Now he
has got his last gamecock, Trust, and that
goes Into the pit for the next 30 days, and
the republican party will be prepared to
meet him on all such questions, and If I
had the time and voice and opportunity I
would like to speak to every laboring man
In the United States upon that question:
because In warning the laboring people of
this country against this huge monster, the
trusts, in the same breath he says that
the Dingley bill is the incubator of trusts.
"Now. W’e are getting to know where we
<tand with the laboring people when we
come to the tariff, and we won’t allow him
to evade the issue that he has made on the
bald proposition that the protective tariff
principle goes hand in hand with trusts.
We keep the protective tarifT principle
there and we will furnish our own defini-
tion for trusts. I say we are at home on
that proposition because we have at the
head of our national ticket that great advo-
cate of protection, William McKinley; be-
cause in him we have the best friend of la-
bor that ever stood before the people of the
United States, and there isn’t a laboring
man in the city of Chicago, or in the state
of Illinois, or in the United States, who
knows anything about public affairs, who
knows anything about the career of Presi-
dent McKinley, that does not know from
actual proof tb* fact that during his whole
public life he is the only man that the work-
l&gmen of this country always felt at lib-
erty to call upon to support their Interests,
nud he never falird them And he is Just
as much their friend to-day us he was 1£
years ago.

"Ami now lei me ask what ha# W. J

Ills career In publie life Is available to

and made conspicuous by his opposition to
the tariff bill. And what has he done slnci
to show any particular Interest in the work-
ing people of this country? He tells them
what hr would do. He is prolific In prom-
ises. rosy In painting the picture as to what
would be the result of his administration,
hut 1 charge you, workingmen, turn awuy
from that picture and look upon the other:
and the other Is McKinley.
"Do not let us take any promise from any
candidate or any man whose whole record
has shown that his oweruwing ambition is
to he president of the United States. He
will ride any issue, he will climb on to any
platform that Is made for him, he will
preach uny doctrine, he will even abuse me
to he president of the United Slates.
Most I in por la it t I**ue*.
"Now, bringing these Issues home to each
and every individual. I want to bring them
there because I expect and 1 know that
• very man who goes to the polls on elec-
tion day having heard the arguments In
the case, having considered how the de-
cision of these Issues will bear upon his
personal Interests and those of his family,
will cast that ballot Intelligently In his own
interest and not In Mr. Bryan’s. But there
Is a further responsibility which comes tc
every man and to every woman who can in-
fluence a man.
"1 say that the Importance of the issues
In this campaign at this time and undei
these conditions is greater than ever before
in the history of our country. I say so be-
cause I believe it, because I know that any
reversing of the present policy of the acl
ministration of this government, uny
change In that administration, would bring
about a condition of things in the business
and industrial Interests of this country
that would dwarf the flood and storm at
Galveston; It would mean a hurricane that
would carry before it every Interest, it
would be a flood that would engulf the prop-
erty and the material Interests of every
man, woman and child that enjoys the
present prosperity.
"There is no question where your Inter-
est Is, because every year, every month,
and every day of the administration of
William McKinley has been an object les-
son. Every man w'ho has an insurance on
his life for the benefit of his family, every
man who has his deposits in a savings bank
or a loan association where he has gath-
ered together perhaps the savings of a
lifetime, where he believes it is safe*, and ll
is, although that money that he deposits
in a savings bank Is not there, for they
don’t keep the money ip their vaults. What
do they do with it? They invest it in secur-
ities, in bonds and mortgages, satisfying
themselves that the property be-hind those
securities Is perfectly good for the loan
made—and It is under all normal condi-
tions. But supposing that Mr. Bryan
should be elected—God forbid. (A Voice:
Amen!) Supposing he should be. Remem-
ber 1893.
"Immediately capital is withdrawn from
the avenues of business panic seizes and
dethrones confidence and we find a condi-
tion of things that sends values down the
toboggan slide until they are cut in two
and quartered; and ilia property that is
represented by the securities in the vaults
of these banks covering your deposit is re-
duced in value. That Is your property It
doesn’t belong to the savings bank or the
life insurance company. It is yours, you
have put it in their custody for safe keep-
ing. They are doing their duty. They have
builded vaults of deposit secure against
the burglar and the thief, they have em-
ployed men of integrity and ability to in-
vest your money and protect your inter-
ests, and therefore I say they have done
their duty.

"Now you do yours. Do yours by not
only depositing your vote for McKinJey,
but get as many of your neighbors who are
undecided upon these questions, perhaps
for want of knowledge, as you can, to vote
as you do; make it your business to secure
one more vote for the president of the
United States, and that small effort will
put us on a perfectly safe basis. Won’t you
do that much for your family? Won’t you
do that much for the national good?
Haven’t you pride enough to do that much
for the national honor, integrity, and the
flag? (Voices: "Yes, yes.’’) Ail right,
then do it. Good-by."
When Senator Hanna was through
Lieut. Moore, of the volunteer army,
told of conditions in the Philippines,
saying the insurrection there would
end with the defeat of Bryan.
Celias Mr. Bryan observed that
what is left of Galveston has been pu,t
under martial law? People are not
allowed to carry their own furniture
through the streets without a permit
from some official. A man who goes
on the streets after dark has to an-
swer troublesome questions from po-
licemen and soldiers. Written per-
mits must be obtained by person#
who wish to hunt for thing's in or
near wrecked buildings. Orders to
shoot the robbers have been issued
not to policemen only, not to militia-
men only, but also to United States
soldiers. All this is militarism. For
the sake of preserving order, protect-
ing property, checking the spread of
disease, and saving life. United States
troops are being used. United States
soldiers have been used before, they
will again be used, to bring order out
of .disorder. Milwaukee Sentinel.
crRecently there have been applica-
tion* in this country for big loans
from England, Russia, Canada and
Sweden. The needy and hard up know
where to come and can find ample
accommodation if their security is
good. The gold standard fixed, the
United States has money to lend. The
gold standard rejected, we should
have been at the mercy of every for-
eign combination which chose to get
up a gold panic, drain our supply of
the precious metal and plunge us
into financial stringency and indus-
trial distress.—Troy Times.
tCTThey’re all alike—these incon-
sistent, self-contradictory calamity
howlers. A Daviess county paper of
the popocratic stripe bewails in an
editorial paragraph the lack of pros-
perity in that region. In another
column of the same issue it advertises
money for local loans at five per cent,
and in a local item on the same page
it boastingly tells of the sale by four
neighboring farmers of a bunch of
their surplus cattle for nearly $12,000.

swer whether or not he will pay the
coin bonds and current expenditures
with silver if he should be elected, he
seemed to lack alike the courage of
his convictions and his confidence in
the silver issue for campaign pur-
poses. Nevertheless, the question is
what may be called a ‘‘burning*’ one

Sine* Mr. Hryun ltns been tellinj-
people everywhere that our fount ry
I in ill $2.50 u head for Filipinos 1 hove
not expected much in the shape of a
solid or candid argument from him.
Only n few days since, in his own
town of Lincoln, lit* made in a speech
u statement which he had made be-
fore, and which he hud had time to
repent of, us follows:
“The republican party, which was
not willing that a black mnn should
he sold for $1,000, now claims that a
Filipino cun lie bought for $2.SO. The
principle is exactly the same.”
That statement of Mr. Bryan's was
based on the payment of $20,000,000 to
Spain for the Philippine islands by
the treaty of Paris, lie further said:
“This nation had no more right, as a
nation, to claim ownership of 8,000,-
000 Filipinos than one man has a right
to claim ownership of another man.”
This argument of his mentis that sov-
ereignty. or the right to mutntain
law Hiid order, carries with it owner-
ship of the persons for whom laws
are made and enforced, lienee it fol-
lows, all people subject to government
are slaves. Mr. Bryan knows that the
treaty of Paris was not a party meas-
ure, for it was favored by two-thirds
of the senate, and he admits he ad-
vised its ratification. The policy of
this government in dealing with its
new dependency is the outcome of
the trtaty of Paris. That treaty is
the law of the land, and to enforce
law is the duty of the American peo-
ple, regardless of party. Opposition
to it now means nothing less than dis-
credit to American honor and encour-
agement of resistance to American
effort to restore order and establish
law in legally acquired American ter-
ritory—territory acquired by treaty,
the ratification of which Mr. Bryan
went out of his way to advise.
For my part, 1 do not intend to
agree, in the face of all evidence to
the contrary, that the American peo-
ple, or even any respectable political
party in America, is capable of mak-
ing vassals and slaves of the Filipinos,
or that the American people -or any
respectable political party in my coun-
try are aiders or abettors i-n any
scheme of conquest. 1 am not apolo-
gizing for the republican party. The
Philippine policy is not the policy of
the republican party alone; Mr. Bryan
does that party entirely too much
honor in giving it so much credit
Vet, on the strength of wlmt has been
done, and well done, and on what is
about to be done, and ought to have
been done in the Philippines, Mr.
Bryan bases his speech of acceptance,
contending that the whole thing
means conquest, and that this coun-
try is bent on a deliberate scheme
tending inevitably toward imperial-
ism.
Mr. Bryan ignores such men a-s -Sen-
ator Morgan, and pays so little re-
spect to tlie intelligent public us to
presume that they will join him in
an unceasing tirade against expan-
sion, and that he can denominate as
the “paramount” question the effort
of America to restore order in its le-
gally acquired possessions by sup-
pressing the most groundless insur
rectiou known to history. He says
the democratic platform authorize?
him to make this the paramount
question. Yes, hut it mud be remem-
bered that since 1896 there has been
hut one democratic candidate foi
president who from the .outset, ha*
been making speeches assuming that
this country was on the high road t<
imperialism. The masses were indif-
ferent. and did not take this as a se
rious matter, for they knew that the
tendency all over the world, even it:
monarchies, is more liberty for the
people. In onr country, where they
vote and make our laws and shape
our policy, they are not troubled
about imperialism. So the whole
thing went hy default at Kansan
City, .and imperialism, the bogy
hatched from the mare's nest discov-
ered by Bryan, was put in the plat-
form and is now gravely held tip bj
him as a lliing of terror to frighter
the American people as so many cred-
ulous children. Any democrat has
right to protest against this sense
less issue being thrust on a great his
toric party as a paramount issue
merely because Mr. Bryan, at the ex-
pense of the greatest and most glar-
ing persona! inconsistency, wishes it
done.
Can it he willfulness in Mr. Bryar
or is it due to defective reasoning in
him to ignore all evidence and reason
and contend that his country has un-
worthy purposes to make conquest of
islands and vassals of their people?
In a nightmare of apprehension he
cries out: “I am not willing that this
nation shall east aside the omnipotent
weapon of physical warfare!” The
way to find out the truth as to
whether this country is seizing the
weapon of physical warfare in the
Philippines is to ascertain what wit-
nesses who have investigated the
facts and know them say about it.
The most reliable witnesses are the
members of the Philippine commis-
sion. That commission was composed
of democrats as well as republicans,
and some of its members were against
expansion. They were all men of
high character, acting under oath
and on honor, and of this war they
said:
“Deplorable as war is, the one in
which we are now engaged was un-
avoidable by us. We were attacked
by a bold, adventurous and enthusi-
astic army. No alternative was left
us except ignominious retreat.”
This statement is their verdict, and
goes into history as the truth, and
ought not to be Ignored by Mr. Bryan,
who discourses so loudly about the
“omnipotent weapon of truth.” A
man having the ear of the people as
Mr. Bryan has should respect what
Washington Irving said: "Knowledge
is power, and truth is knowledge;
whoever, therefore, knowingly props
gates a prejudice willfully saps the
foundation of his country's strength."

LIVE UNDERGROUND.
iiie Carloim \\ hint* \urrnl«*tl «»f Ec«
centric I'roplr lit F.iittlMtal and
Scot In u (I,
An instance of the preference of some-
people for living underground was
brought to light u short time ago near
Southport, in Lancashire. A large
house standing u little wii\ out of the
town hod nlwuys elicited the ouriosit.v
of those- residing in the neighborhood
because it was supposed to he tenanted,
and yet the windows remained boarded
up and the building fell into prema-
ture decay for want of repair. Some
people, however, vouched for the fact
that an old lady lived there, for she
was seen to h ate the house oet-.isionul-
|y and go into the town to purchase
the necessaries for her existence, a
statement which the tradesmen con- I
tinned, says London Tit-Bits.
At length, nothing hove been seen
of this strange tenant for some time,
the police took the matter in hand and
entered the house by force, but dis-
covered nothing until they reached tlu-
cellars, although their suspicions hud
previously been aroused by finding coul
and other things generally kept un-
derground in a large room unstairs.
Further search proved the cellars to he
most luxuriously furnished, and in one
of the antique arm-chairs sat the old
lady, dead. She must have lived by
herself deep underground for nearly
ten years, shunning the light of day
except when it was absolutely neces-
sary for her to go out.
Another peculiar ease conies from
Dorsetshire, and will be well within
the iccollectiou of many of the inhab-
itants of the county. A gentleman of
means, wishing to build a house, se-
lected a site lie thought would suit his
purpose, for it was on the summit of
the downs overlooking the sea. llis
reason for choosing such a strange spot
was because he wished to be where he
could continually hear the roar of tin-
wares against the cliffs below.
Some architects were instructed to
erect the building, hut they said that
unless it was of ext raordinu ry st rengt li
it would, in all probability, come down
upon the occupant’s head in conse-
quence of the terrific power of the
gales that visit that part of the roast
during the winter. But the gentleman
determined not to be outdone, so he
actually furnished one of the old smug-
glers' caves, numbers of which are to
be found in the chalk cliffs near Lyme
Regis. In this strange and lonely
dwelling place he lived for se ven years,
and only abandoned it to enter the
bonds of matrimony.
Speaking of eaves reminds us that
Britain numbers among its population
some 'jH-opk- who live entirely in un-
derground eaves. They arc the fisher-
men who inhabit the far north const
of Scotland, and the caves occupied
have either been curved out at some
prehistoric time by the action of the
waves or owe their origin to the smug-
glers of other days. This life-long ex-
istence underground affects the cave
dwellers in a rather peculiar manner,
for it has been noticed that practically
without exception they are of small
stature and might, very favorably be
compared to the inhabitants of I-u]>-
land.
But men of note have frequently
found a fascination in living beneath
the earth. Saurier, whose novels are
so pripular throughout France, was one
of these, and many of his finest works
were written underground, or rather
under water. He was a very eccentric
man and had in his garden a large lake.
One day, worried by the noise around
lim, lie conceived the Idea of having a
study erected under the lake with a
roof of plate glass to it. This was done
•it enormous cost, and in that room
Saurier lived throughout the day.
vVhen not bust he had only to look
lirough the glass and watch the fish
is they passed to and fro.
The late duke of Portland, it will be
.-emembered. passed the later years of
his life in the underground cellars of
Welbeck abbey, and lived there until
his death, entirely cut off from the
niter world, where tlie sun could not
reach him. Elizabeth Browning, too,
wrote many of her finest poems in Ihe
cellars of her house, where she was
compelled to live after her sight had
given way.

Snperlority.
“Look here, sir,” she said, as she en-
tered a sewing machine office the other
day, relates Tit-Bits, “your agent has
imposed upon me.”
"Is it possible, ma'am? In what re-
spect ?”
"Yes. sir. he has; ami I don't want
your machine.”
“How has he deceived you?”
“Why, he came into my house and
told me that your machine was the best
in the world. I have witnesses, and can
prove every word of it.”
“But that was not deceiving you,
ma'am.”
“Yes, it was! I hadn't had the ma-
chine two days before another agent
railed and said his was the best; and
he had a circular to hack it up. He had
hardly got out of doors when another
called and said his machine had taken
ten medals.”
“But we have taken 15, ma'am.”
“Oh, have you?”
“And we have issued a challenge for
a public trial, which no other machine
dare accept.”
“Is that so? Then your machine is
the best, after all?”
“Certainly,"
"Then you will please excuse me. I
thought I had been imposed upon, and
I'm afraid 1 was a little hasty. The
other agents must have been the de-
ceivers.”

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Grove’s
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Grove’s is the
Original and that all other so-called “Taste-
less” chill tonics are imitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Grove’s is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove’s—its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove’s is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 50c.
NOTE:—Tho records of tho Paris Medicine Go., St« Louis,
show that over ono and one-half million bottles of
Grove’s Tasteless Ohlll Tonlo wore sold last your and
tho sales aro continually Increasing. Tho oonoluslon Is
inevitable that Grovo’s Tasteless Ohlll Tonlo Is a pro-
scription lor malaria having genuine merit, and any
druggist or chemist will toll you so.

How Are Your Bowels?
About the first thing the
doctor says-
Then, “Let's see your tongue.”
Because bad tongue and bad
bowels go together. Regulate
the bowels, clean up the tongue.
We all know that this is the way
to keep and look well.
You can’t keep the bowels
healthy and regular with purges
or bird-shot pills. They move
you with awful gripes, then
you're worse than ever.
Now what you want is Cascarets. Go and get them today-Cascarets-in metal box
with the long-tailed “C” on the lid-cost 10c. Be sure you get the genuine! Cascarets are
never sold in bulk. Take one! Eat it like candy, and it wil! work gently-while you
sleep. It cures, that means it strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, gives them new
life. Then they act regularly and naturally. That’s what you want. It’s guaranteed to
be found in
THE IDEAL LAXATIVE
ALL
DRUGGISTS
To any needy mortal, suffering from bowel troubles and too poor to buy CASCARETS, we will send a box free.
Address Sterling Remedy Co., Chicago or New York, mentioning advertisement and paper. 41,
