It would be remarkable Indeed if tho German-American element of our citizen ship failed to place itself in opposition to that Imperial spirit of tlie McKlnley su- ministration which now threatens the nouor, saieiy uuu crj ii uciier, mey Bign tae death warrant of Republic the Republic. If they vote for a Dcmoc- Men of German birth or descent do racy based on the Declaration of Inde-not need to have tho evils or Imperial-, pendeuce they give to tho Republic a Ism and militarism pointed out to them, new and glorious lease of life. It Is uney sxiow vviiai uicaus 10 'land where tho best years of every man's life must be given up to military service. They know what it is to struggle for a livelihood In a land whero every farmer and every workingman carries a soldier of Empiro upon his back, for whose maintenance as a "lighting machine" the far moro worthy "working machine" is taxed to tho bone. dream of Empire and armed conquest has no charms for German-American voters.

These men must have surely made up their minds to vote against Empire in November. It Is not reasonable to believe that they will vote to bubject their eons to military conscription and to endless and evcr-lncreaslug taxation for Umpire. Such of them as belong to the Republican party must certainly recognize the fact that tho issue of Imperial-Ism is an Issue that rises above party. How can any German-American consistently vote to establish In this country the very evils from which he lied when he exiled himself from his Fatherland? SUPPORT MR. BRYAN.

Senator Mallory of Florida is correct In his assertion that a man who calls himself a Democrat and who will not bupport Mr. Bryan on tho Democratic national platform of 1000 would not bup-port him under any circumstances. Tho Democratic platform of 1900 Is one of tho most consistent Democratic utterances ever put before the American people. Its declaration of principles demands the loyal support of every Democrat. In the American crisis now existing, tho upholding of those principles, Is vitally necessary to tho preservation of tho Republic.

Mr. Bryan stands fairly and squarely on that platform. It was framed largely under his direction. He has distinctly expressed his approval of tho plank declaring onti-impcrlallsm to bo the paramount lssuo of tho present campaign. Tho platform urges a united American support of this lssuo for the expresvd reason that It "involves tho very existence of the Republic and the destruction of our frfco Institutions." Democrats who uhall fail to voto for Mr.

Bryan on the Democratic platform of 1900 will not bo able to justify themselves at tho bar of conscience. They will allow a lingering prejudice to make them recreant to principle. They will place a personal question ubove tho good of then country. Tho issue of this campaign Is too solemn in its bearing upon the future of the Republic to be treated from such a viewpoint Tho malign shadow of Empire darkens the sky above this great free Government. CHINA'S NEW SPIRIT.

There Is bomething ominous in the tribute to Chinese militant prowess contained In the simple news story of the desperate lighting at Tien-Tsin between the native army and the allied troops of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Russia, France and Germany. In this story wo are told that tho Chinese guns were "splendidly Bervcd and accurately aimed." They wcro so well served and so accurately aimed, Indeed, as to put two opposing cannon out of action ono being a twelve-pounder from H. M. S. Terrible and the other a gun from one of tlie French cruisers.

aycro also effective enough to drive Jjack a Kalian sortlo by Russian and Japanese troops, supported by a mountain battery. Tills looks as If tbo -world Uas been underestimating tbe China of to-day as a flKhtins nation. It looks, alo, as if the Icsmhi taught in 1SU4 by Japan has not been lost on the Chinese, it is ominous for the reason that if this stvat, himher-ius giant, iith owr nib-jects, is wikin from his. bleep of eoii-turies and Iniclliently preparing for war there i now impending a conflict between a awry and chilization -wliicli uould iiave been thought a few months aw lmiKible In the world of the present day. savi: Tin: uui'cituc.

There has. never been a time la American political history a paramount Issue in the kittle between two parties was. more clearly drawn aul more intelligently understood than the great and tal iue of imperialij-m in tlie campaign now under way. The ib one whieh no voter pretends to Ignore or to exadt. Either bis lead-, him to himself agjilnvt tlie parly of Umpire, in order that the Itepnhlic may be fcavtxl from destruction, or his commercial appetites or iKHtic.il ambition overcome his and render him willins to sacrifice American principle and endauwr AiuerlOau iubtitutions.

Thh is the fcituauen. The IJepubliean party makes Its appeal this ear to the icnoble cnutious of man-Kind. It urgei the holding of the as a colony, because there is money in holding the rinlippines-the ramoiiN speech of Senator Itevendno sounding thi keynote. It urges the de-2iial of constitutional lights to the IVrto Ilieans because there money in, levying tribute on the Porto lUaus it seehs to encompass the annexation of Cuba because there is money in auuoiiuir Cuba. Republican jwhcles in 1900 are based on the mot s-ordid principles pos-iible to commercialized politics.

The Democratic party wakes its appeal this ear to the American spirit which animated the founders of tlie American Government. It denies, as thoy did, tho lmneri.ll doetritm T.i!..i,t- matcs right. It holds with them that nil men are born free and equal and that constitutional governments must derive their just powers from the consent of tho governed. It opposes Empire becauso Empire means the destruction of the Republic and of free government. It condemns the subjugation of tho Filipinos and the tariff taxation of the Porto Ricans, becauso such a policy is tho policy of Empire.

It protests against the establishment of a colonial r-jstein because It is forbidden to a Republic to iwssess colonies. It claims that we canuot deny liberty to other peoples without lajing the loundation for the denial to us of that same liberty which we solemnly declare to bo the of all peoples. The life or the Republic depends upon the choice made by American oters when they go to the polls nest November. If they then and there cast their ballots for the imperiallzed Republican imperative upon every American to weigh this mighty issue in tlie ecales of his conscience and to cast a patriot's vote thereafter. The Republic is in danger.

STAND TRUE TO LIBERTY. If the delegates to tho "Liberty Convention" to be held in Indianapolis on August 15 seek to most burcly hold this Government to the principles upon which It was established, they will ludorso the Democratic national platform and ticket and exert their best effort for tho success of Democracy at the polls. The one great and paramount issuo upon which tho DemocraUc party goes before tho people this jear Is strongly Mated iu the anti-imperialism plank of tho Democratic platform. The Republic Is in danger. The greed of Empiro lias possessed the souls of President Mc-Klnley and Ids follow era.

As burely and as svvirtly as Is possible to an imperial administration, the American Government is being committed to Empire. There is no denying this truth. We are even now governing the Filipinos as a subject people without their couse; a people to whom American citizenship is not possible, and who themselves demand national independence. We are subjecting the Porto Ricans to tlie very wrong of taxation without representation which caufced our own Revolution against England. We are denying to tho Cubans the freedom to which we solemnly pledged the national honor in our declaration of war against Spain.

Our armies of occupation are Iu these lands to enforce an alien authority against which, the people of the land protest. This is Empire, pure and unadulterated. Tho "Liberty Convention" to be held in Indianapolis will hello Its name if it falls to unite with Democracy In protecting the Republic from tlie plotters for Empire. Tlie call for this action is the most sacred that an American can hear. The Republic is in danger.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT. Thcie is an earnestness and an ardor in the spirit now promptiug all political organizations and individuals opposed to imperialism to co-operate heartily with the national Democracy for the defeat of the imperialist party iu November which faithfully indicates the determination of the American people to save tbe Republic from destruction at the bauds of the plotters for Empire. That the gravity of the paramount Issue in the present campaign is clearly recognized by the American public there is now no reason to doubt. It will not avail the McKlnley imperialists to Insolently wave Old Glory us a tea-robbers' Hag and to urge the conquest and subjugation of weaker peoples as a righteous crusade for the extension of American power. The American people know well that the Flag of Freedom may not justly float abovo looted colonies and subject races.

They know well that there can be no crusado of foreign wars for tho erteusion of American power without first surrendering the creed of the Republic for the creed of Empire. Thoy know well that our denial of liberty to others Is the signal and the justification for our Imperial rulers' denial of liberty to us In tho uturc. Evcry consistent and loyal American should go to tho 'polls In November de-tcnulncd to cast his vote for the Republic against the Empire. It is not a question of party fealty. It is not a question of choice between men.

It Is a question that rises above party and above personality. It Is a question of devotion to country Hi a crisis iniinite peril. The Republic Is in danger. Its principles and institutions- are threatened with overthrow that the fabric of Empiie may be erected in its place. It Is in the hands of men gone mad with the greed of gold and the lust of laud.

These men hae forgotten the lutriot teachings upon which the American Co eminent was founded and grew to greatness. They r-ee only that it is great; that It now possesses the strength ncivsary to conquest; that it dominates half tlie world, and may, by transfoimatlou to Empire, conquer other lauds and govoin them as imperial colonies. They are strilng with all their might to bring about this betrayal of the Republic and establishment of Em- pit e. The American fight against imperial-Ism must be made in this campaign. Another four years of McKinloyism and the Imperial podcios will be hruily llted upon this Government.

The Republic must be Fated. It cannot live half Republic ami half Eniplic. It cannot bo a Republic on the North American mainland and an Empire iu the Philippines ai.d In Porto Rico. It is the solemn duty of the American people to unite for the overthrow of the Empire plotters. The Republic Is in danger.

ONE-SIDED "SYMPATHY." "I rejoice in t-ceiug tlie generous sympathy between the Pulled Slates ami England," sajs I Mav Muller. professor of comparative philology in Oxford Unhorsiiy. in the Independent. "It did not esist-wlien I tlrst came to England in but it has been glowing ever since, though from lime to lime the newspapers have made mischief. A gcid understanding between England, the United States and Germany will cause tho growth and spread of liberty and rational go erameut In Europe." The utterance of the Democratic platform on this subject and the reflection that this utterance Is probably tho view of a majority of the people of tho United States may cauc Professor Muller to revise his opinions a little.

This passage of the platform is as follows: "Jefferson said, 'Peace, commerce and honesty, friendship with all nations, entangling alliances 1th We approve th's wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest against the Republican departure which has involved us Iu so-called world politics. Including the diplomacy of Europe, and the intrigue and land-grabbing of Asia, and we especially condemn the ill-coiieealed Republican alliance with England, which must mean discrimination against other friendly nations and which has already stilled the nation's voice while liberty Is being stilled iu South Africa." The "generous sympathy lwtwccn tlie raited States and England" In which Professor Muller rejoices is tlie poliey of one patty In tho United States, and this policy, everything Indicates, will bo repudiated by tho United States at the licvt election. Tlie benefits of this "sympathy" have come only to England. It operated to keep other nntions at a distance while England was throttling the South African Republics. It has not In the slightest mitigated tho preposterous claims of England with regard to tho Nicaragua Canal.

What Professor Muller regards as "sympathy" the American people regard as an entangling alliance which can re-biilt In no beneilt to the United States and which las already Tesultcd in much harm. Tlie present campaign Is one for the re-establishaient of the great principles imv ni.tii-ik ihi-ittiuiii; earth Is founded. Tho Declaration of Independence and the Constitution or the United States the issues and My rojntrj. 'Us of thtc, 1-ind of tl. nuble fret-.

Is tho battle song. What constitutes a cause for gratulation to Professor Muller and other Englishmen is a hource of bhame and regret to Americans. If Major McKlnley's speech accepting tho Republican nomination is to be "tho real Republican platform," tlie dummy Philadelphia Convention stands more than ever discredited before thu people. Don't let's be rash about joining in a general war against China. A nation that contains (.11,000.000 men or lighting ago Is not to be tackled as a picnic proposition.

Alexander M. Dockery was hailed as Missouri's favorite son by the Kansas City Convention, and Missouri will herself again confirm the title In November. As a grcatTaud free Republic we have attained the strength of Empire, but our greatness and freedom will alike miuIhIi if vve use that strength as. an Empire. Imperialism means that we consent to tlie enlistment of all able-ln-dled Americans iu a never-ending war for tho Iiler dominion or the s.v ndlcates.

With half the world under our rightful domination, shall we encompass our own destruction by lusting for wrongful domination of tlie other half? England had just as good reasons for denying our fatheis' rights as we have for deiiving the rights of the Filipinos aud Porto Ricaus. American Empire In the Philippines aud Porto Rico means tlie overthrow of the American Republic on the American mainland. If you stop to analyze tlie glitter of the prospect or Empire you will liud that It comes principally rrom bared blades and ba oncts.

Tho Populist State Convention la In session hero and the sentlmeat among the rank and tile Is strong against any such Ketlon. He has been assured that the in-tegritj- of tho Populist organization will be endangered bj- an indorsement of tho Democratic ticket, and that self-preservation dictates that if Towne withdraws somo other Populist will bo named.

"Mr. Towne will not withdraw." said Vlco Chairman JMmistcn, in charge of Populist national headquarters here. 'Tor him to do so would make It doubtful whether we can carry Nebraska.
