Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

THE COTTON CROP AND PRICES.
The phenomenally low price of cotton re-
cently reported, said to be the lowest point
(reached in many years, lends special inter-
leet to a series of tables Just compiled by
tt« treasury bureau of statistics, showing
the remarkable increase in cotton produc-
tlmi and coincidental fall in price. These
mihles show that the United States, the
l^ef cotton producer of the world, has
NiiUidmpled her cotton production since 1872,
and tiiat the price of cotton in the same
period has fallen to about one-fourth that
which prevailed in that vear. In 1872 the
cotton crop of the United States is shown
to have been 1,384,084,494 pounds, with an
average price of 22.19 cents per pound. In
1898 the crop is reported at 5,667,372,051
pounds, with an average price of 6.23 cents
per pound. Thus the production of 1898 is
more than four times that of 1872 and tbe
average price but a little over one-fourth
that of that year.

POPXTLATION OF ETJBOPE.
According to figures given by La Revue
Francaise- de TEtranger, the total popula-
tion of Europe, by calculations made on the
latest census, is 380,000,000, which is a gain
of 37,000,000 over that computed January,
1S88. Here Is a table showing the figures
given in the Revue:
European Russia and Finland 106,200,000
Germany 52,300, OOO
Austria-Hungary 43,600,000
United Kingdom 89,800,000
France 38,roo,o.o
Italy 31,800,000
$»in 18,000,000
Belgium 6,600,000
Turkey in Europe 6,800,000
Koumanla 5,600,000
Portugal 5,000,000
Sweden 5,000,000
Holland 4,000,000
Bulgaria 3,000,000
Switzerland 3,000,000
Greece 2,400, 000
Denmark 2,300,000
Servla 2.300,000
Norway 2,000,000
The density of the population according
to each square kilometer (about .386 square
mile) is thus reckoned: In Belgium, 220;
Italy, 169; Holland, 149; England, 126; Ger-
many, 97; Switzerland, 73; France, 72; Aus-
tria, 69; Spain, 36; Russia, 20. While the
annual Increase of the population of Russia
has been 1.46 for every 100 in the last ten
years, that of (Jermany has been 1.15, of
Austrla-Hungaiy .96, of England .35, of
Italy .46, of France .08. At this rate of
augmentation in 100 years Russia would
have 228,000,000 inhabitants, Germany 106,-
000,000, Austria 79,000,000, England 65,000,000,
Italy 44,000,000 and France only 40,000,000.

The only authorized material standard of
customary length is the Traughton scale be-
longing to this oflSce, whose length at 590.62
Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The
yard in use in the United States is therefore
equal to the British yard.
The only authorized material standard of
customary weight is the troy pound of the
mint. It is of brass of unknown density, and
therefore not suitable for a standard of mass.
It was derived from the British standard
troy pound of 1758 by direct comparison. The
British avoirdupois pound was also derived
from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy-
The grain troy is therefore the same as the
grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdu-
pois in use in the United States is equal to
the British pound avoirdupois.
The British gallon— 4.54^ liters.
The British bushel<-36.3477 liters.
The length of the nautical mile given above
and adopted by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey many years ago is defined
as that of a minute of arc of a great circle of a
sphere whose surface equals that of the earth
(Clarke's Spheroid of 1866),

By the concurrent action of the principal
g)Ternment8 of the world an International
oreau of Weights and Measures has been
established near Paris. Under the direction
of the International Committee two Ingots
^ere cast of pure platinum-lrldium in the
Eroportion of 9 parts of the former to 1 of the
ttter metaL From one of these a certain
number of kilogrammes were prepared, from
tjbe other a definite number of meter bars.
These standards of weight and length were
inter^ompared, without preference, and cer-
uiui ones selected as international standards.
Tiie others were distributed by lot, in Septem-
"^f«1889. to the different governments and are
c&Iled national prototype standards. Those
apportioned to the United States were received
In uBO and are in the keeping of United States
^^»i and geodetic survey. \
The metric system was legalized in the
United States in 18H6.
The international standard meter is derived
from the meter des archives, and its length Is
defined by the dlstanbe between two lines at
QO centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar de-
posited at the International Bureau of
Weights and Measures.
The international standard kilogramme is
amass of platinum-iridium deposited at the
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the
same as that of the kilogramme des archives.
The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter, and
it is measured by the quantity of distilled
water whicli, at its maximum density, will
counterpoise the standard kilogramme in a
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of
water being, as nearly as has been ascer-
tained, equal to a cubic decimeter.

WHEAT CORNER OF 1897-98.
95
WHEAT OOBNEB OP 1897-96.
The year 1898 marked the culmination and
collapse of one of the most gigantic and
spectacular operations in wheat ever in-
aogurated in this or any other country. The
center of actiyity was Chicago, and the
central figure was Joseph Leiter, a resident
of that city. Operations were continued
over a period of more than ten months, dur-
ing which it is estimated that nearly 100,-
000,000 bushels of wheat were traded in by
the party in Interest, including what is gen-
erally known as his *'scalping" operations,
and the price was advanced from 65 cents
at the start to $1.85 a bushel before the
end was reached, a net improvement of
nearly $1.20. The amount or cash wheat
handled by one party, the capital Involved
and the wide interest excited were without
Brecedent. The attention of the whole clv-
ized world was attracted and the Chicago
market was constantly watched by the peo-
ple of all foreign lands, as well as by those
of our own.
Prices were pushed to a dizzy height, but
the collapse was sudden and disastrous,
Joseph Letter and his immediate following
being the principal sufTerers, those best in-
formed estimating their losses at nearly, if
not fully, $10,000,000.
Joseph Ijef ter was a young man of 29, who
had never been known as an operator in
wheat, and was not even a member of the
board of trade'; he came of good mercantile
stock, however, his father— L. Z. Leiter—
having been for many years a leading and
successful merchant in Chicago, finally re-
tiring from the business with a large for-
tune, which was eventually increased to
130,000,000 or more. The son was thought to
have inherited the mercantile instincts of
his father, and had already demonstrated in
manv ways his keen business sagacity. It
Idv claimed, and generally admitted, that
when Leiter ventured upon his first opera-
tions in wheat nothing was more foreign to
bis thoughts than the colossal transactions
In which he eventually became the directing
spirit. The idea of "speculation" he dls-
daimed from first to lairt, stoutly contend-
ing that he was simply a merchant, and a
speculator only in the sense that he ex-
pected to sell what he bought at a handsome
profit, and without resorting to any of the
irl<^ known to the typical speculator.
A fortunate investment made early in
September, 1897, was the humble beginning
of the Leiter deal, which did not end until
June 12, 1898. Prom the Inception the trans-
actions gradually grew in magnitude until
•very previous experience in that line was
completely overshadowed, and the World
watched its development with increasing
wonder.
"Hie reasons which led Leiter to think so
favorably of wheat were found in the then
prevailing conditions the world over, but
more especially in Europe, and these he
freely made known to the public. He at-
tempted no deception, but openly warned
every one of the folly of selling wheat at the
then prevailing prices, and he at the same
ume proceeded to buy freely what the pub-
Be seemed so greedy to sell, with the result
that when the conditions he had foreseen
came finally to be generally acknowledged,
prices were greatly enhanced and the sound-
law of his judgment apparently vindicated.
The world's crop of wheat in 1897 was
much below the average. England, France,
and other countries which found it neces-
sary to import wheat, found also their
harvests more than usually deficient; while
Russia, India, Argentina and Austria-Hun-
gary—countries which usually raise a large
surplus for export— found this surplus great
ly curtailed. So with enlarged necessities
came uiminished supplies, and-'the problem
of feeding Europe soon began to attract at-
tention in Anieonca. As figured out statis-
tically, the breadstuffs situation, when the
harvests in 1897 were gathered, compared
with that of 1896 as follows:
- — Wheat crop (biLahels), — >
1897. Ib96,
France 248,000,000 387,000,000
Russia 232,000,000 319,000,000
Italy 88,000,000 132,000,000
Austria 36,000,000 41,000,000
Hungary 93,000.000 lt>x,000,000
Roumania 29,000,000 69,000,000
Bulgaria 25,000,000 45,000,000
United Kingdom.. 54,000,000 60,000,000
The above-named countries, with the
minor ones not named, showed a deficiency
in the European wheat production of 1897 of
356,000,000 bushels, as compared with the
year previous. To offset this was an in-
crease in the United States of about 120.-
000,000 bushels and about 20,000,000 bushels
in other parts of the world, leaving a net
shortage in the world's wheat supply of
over 200,000,000 bushels. These figures early
attracted Leiter's attention, and he argued
openly that they foreshadowed an unusual
demand for American wheat, and predicted
an astonishing advance in values. So it
was not long before he became a heavy
buyer— simply as a merchant, he always
protested, or as he would buy a piece of
real estate when it was offered below its
intrinsic value. He was in the market bo-
cause the inexorable law of supply and de-
mand must eventually enhance the price of
wheat. Probably no man ever bought a
bushel of wheat with more complete con-
fidence in its legitimate value than did
Joseph Leiter in nis earlier dealings, and,
despite his many disappointments and the
serious obstacles he frequently encountered,
his faith rarely wavered until the disastrous
end of his long campaign was finally
reached. In the whole ten months of its
continuance he never descended .to any of
the tricks of the ordinary speculator, nor
endeavored to take advantage of the seller
by concealing his real purpose; he openly
proclaimed himself on the "bull side,'^
warned the trade of the danger of "selling
short," and bought without Umlt whatever
was offered for sale. In August, 1897, his
presence in the market and his extensive
operations began to attract attention; the
price was then about 75^ cents, having sold
at 641^ cents earlier in the season. As his
accumulations went on prices were gradu-
ally enhanced. When the end of September
approached, and the time was near at hand
for the delivery of the wheat Leiter had
bought for that month's delivery, it was
found that there was little here, and to
avoid the odium of running a corner he an-
nounced his willingness to transfer all hia
trades to December, but warned tne trade
that the price would be very much higher
when that delivery matured. But the large
traders— and especially that class known to
96
GHIGAQO DAILY NEWS ALMANAO FOB 1899.
inclade the elevator interest— were almost
onlformly "bears," and, confident that an
amateur speculator, as Lelter was acknowl-
edged to oe, could not successfully carry
through a campaign on the lines he had un-
dertaken, all kept selling heavily, and Letter
kept on buying with equal persistency,
prices in the meanwhile continuing to ad-
rance steadily.
By this time the world had become deeply
interested aad everybody was watching the
course of prices on the Chicago board of
trade, the up turn abroad having kept pace
with that in America. As the end of De-
cemoer, 1897, drew near, the stocks of con-
tract wheat in Chicago were found to be
greatlv depleted and nearly 6,000,000 bushels
less than Lelter had bought in the mean-
time, and which must be delivered to him
before the end of the month. Many, consid-
ering the situation hopeless for the shorts,
settled and paid their differences. But the
great elevator proprietors, who, as before
stated, were the largest "shorts," deter-
mined to get the wheat and deliver it, evi-
dently expecting that the delivery of 5,000,-
000 to 6,000,000 bushels practically in one
lump— and which had to be paid for in cash
on delivery— would financially embarrass the
daring young operator. For this purpose the
northwest was ransacked by the large and
wealthy interests which had been caught
"short," and wheat was bought wherever
it could be found, with little regaru to the
price, and, favored by unusually open
weamer, millions of bushels were Drought
to Chicago by lake from Duluth and by car
from Minneapolis. During the last days of
December there were delivered to Lelter
over 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, which was
promptly accepted and paid for in cash, ap-
parently without effort and without any un-
usual strain on his financial credit. This
large delivery, with his other holdings, left
Lelter the absolute owner of from 8,000,000
to 10,000,000 bushels of the cereal, though in
the meantime he bad been sending it for-
ward very liberally to tidewater or to
Europe. There was some expectation that
the enormous demands made on Leiter's
bank account bv the delivery of so much
property, on which instant payment was de^
manded, might prove too much of a load for
the young speculator; but his father, L. Z.
Lelter, promptly came to his assistance
with his $30,000,000 fortune, and his credit
soon became practically unlimited.
For a moment Lelter hesitated at this
Juncture, but his indecision did not last
long; he was the owner of a vast amount of
rain which he felt forced to protect, and
jIs only course now seemed to be to carry
his campaign into May, 1898. At the same
time he began those tremendous shipments
abroad wlilch soon became the wonder of
the trade, and, with a single exception,
finally eclipsed anything before known in
the hlstorv of the grain trade. In order to
guard against a repetition of his experience
in December, 1897, he extended his opera-
tions into the northwest, and before long
owned millions of bushels of wheat at Du-
luth and Bflnneapolis, in addition to his im-
mense and dally Increasing holdings at Chi-
cago. But wheat was still offered freely;
the farmers, attracted by the high prices,
were selling everything they had scored, un-
til the interior reserves were well-nigh ex-
hausted everywhere. In the meantime prices
had gone up by leaps and bounds, and the
foreign markets were keeping pace with
those in this country. Yet Leiter's repre-
sentatives still stood in the pit and de-
manded more vi^eat, though in the mean-
time his accumulations probably amounted
to 20,000,000 bushela— a larger load than any
single individual was ever before known to
carry. But his faith bad not yet begun to
waver: "shorts" had become badly fright-
ened, however, and with Leiter's a«;resilye
confidence and the "shorts' " effbrts to
cover prices continued to soar.
The end of Biay, 1898, finally came, and
Leiter's opponents again disappointed him;
they had made the most strenuous exer-
tions; had ransacked the country, and final-
ly succeeded in delivering him 8,000,000
bushels, for which prompt payment was nec-
essary; but his star was still in the ascend-
ant, or at least his financial aky was un-
clouded, and payment was easily made.
By this time, however, his holdings had
enlarged to something like 25,000,000 bushel-',
representing not less than $30,000,000 in cash
—a staggering load for any one but Lelter.
Yet, still undaunted, he at once commenced
to buy wheat for July delivery, and this
move was the beginnlne of the end. His
skies darkened, the load became tiresome,
and financial difficulties began to press
mort or less heavily, and his confident smile
had departed. Prices abroad had risen to a
point which restricted consumption, and the
old world was driven to other markets.
Argentina and India had begun to ship their
bountiful crops, and the promise for this
country for 1898 as well as for the old world
generally was most brilliant. Every hour
the burden became heavier for the man who
had undertaken to fight the whole world.
The speculative element fought him with
frantic vigor, and every available bushel of
wheat on both sides of the ocean was sold,
so that the theoretical supplies which Lelter
had figured on were enormously exceeded by
the actual marketings. The end drew near;
it came suddenly. On Monday, June 13, 1898,
Lelter found himself with 30,000,000 to S5,-
000,000 bushels of wheat on hand, his ready
cash gone and his credit with the banks
shattered by the withdrawal of the financial
support of L. Z. Lelter, which he had hither-
to had.
Realizing at last the hopelessness of his
battle, he struck his colors, threw all the
wheat he had bought for July on to the mar-
ket, and in little more than an hour had
divested himself of fully 8,000,000 bushels.
The price had also dropped 20 cents a
bushel, aggregating fully $7,000,000 on his
entire holdings. The 16.000,000 bushels or
more of cash wheat he held in this country
and Europe then became a matter of grsTe
concern. A general panic was likely to fol-
low the forced marketing of such a vast
amount of property, and to avoid such a
calamity it was protected by the banks
and finally placed in the hanos of trustees
to be sold at leisure when shortened sup-
Slles might warrant it or circumstances
Ictate. This eminently vrise action pre-
vented the disastrous consequences which
would otherwise have foUowea such a com-
plete collapse and minimised the ruin which
might, without such precaution, have fol-
lowed the Lelter fiasco.
It will no doubt be Interesting to trace
the course of prices each month during the
ten months that Lelter was carrying on his
campaign, or from Aug. 1, 1897, to June 18,
1898, comparing them with the current
values the same month of the year previous

The price in June,

the day that Leiter threw his holdings over-
board the price fell to 85 cents, and a week
later had fallen to 76 cents, a loss of $1.10
from the top figure, $1.85, which was
reached in May.
The advance started wheat to Chicago
from all over the country and the receipts
were far in excess of what any one had cal-
culated. From September to May, inclusive,
the receipts each month compared with the
same month the year previous were as fol-
lows:

The exports from this country were also
unusually heavy, for as soon as Leiter's
operations became well understood not only
was there a healthy legitimate foreign de-
mand but Leiter himself was disposed to
market his wheat abroad and used every
effort to get it across the ocean. The

That the Leiter deal was of immense pe-
cuniary benefit to the wheat growers of the
world there can be no question, however
disastrous it mav have been to himself and
his financial backers and followers. It cre-
ated an unusual, even though it was par-
tially fictitious, demand, which greativ en-
hanced the price. The persistent "snort"
seller, who had for so many years coined
money by depreciating the price, found that
he was for a time overmatched, and the
wheat "bear" was, for the time being, out
of fashion. Leiter's campaign added from
10 cents to 50 cents a bushel to the farm-
ers* staple crop, and, while the aftermath
was serious loss or absolute ruin to many.
Its good effects were felt on thousands of
faims and will continue to be for years to
come.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899.
Englishman, Mr. Brown, who had been em-
ployed to supervise Korean linaoces, and the-
appointment of a Russian, Mr. Alexieff, in
bis place, against the protest of Great Brit-
ain. Such an appointment would baye
placed Korea in the nands of Russia. Great
Britain followed np her protest against this
change by sending a strong fleet to Che-
mulpo, and the result was that a compro-
mise was effected under which the Korean
customs were administered by a Joint com-
mission of British and Russian oMcials.
The seizure of the island of Hainan by the
French in December, 1897, brought a protest
from the British foreign office and a decla-
ration by France that permanent occupation
was not designed.
With her enormons interests InyoWed In
China, Great Britain conid not remain pas-
sive to Russia's occupation of Port Arthur,
which commanded tne Gulf of Pe-chl-11,
and. Incidentally, the Chinese capital Itself.
So strongly opposed was tne British govern-
ment to the Russian occupancy that every
effort was made to dissuade the czar from
his purpose, the government pledging itself
not to occupy any port in the gulf if Russia
would abandon ' the Port Arthur scheme.
•Russia flatly refused to consider the British
proposal, and in self-defense a demand wa«i
made upon China by the British government
for a lease of the port of Wei-Hai-Wei, after
it had been evacuated by Japan, which then
held it as security for the unpaid war in-
demnity, and demanded it of China upon
the same terms granted to Russia in the ces-
sion of Port Arthur. The demand of Great
Britain was acknowledged, the indemnity
was paid to Japan in May, 1898, and on the
20th of that month the British forces occu-
pied the port.
By this movement Great Britain more
than matched Russia, for the port of Wei-
Hal-Wel is a more commanding position
than Port Arthur. While the latter com-
mands Pekln. the former commands the
Chinese capital by commanding the Gulf of
Pe-chl-11 and Port Arthur itself. While
Port Arthur is of no value as a commercial
point, Wei-Hai-Wei Is of Importance as a
mercantile harbor and is capable of better
defense than the Russian naval entrepot.
It cannot be denied that in the Gulf of Pe-
chl-li Great Britain holds a far stronger
naval and commercial position than Russia
does.
While these scrambles were going on in
northern China, France was strengthening
herself along the Tonquin frontier In the
south. She acquired the lease of a large
bay on the southern coast of China; the
right to build a railroad between Tonquin
and Yunnan-Fu, in the province of Yun-
nan, an Important point on< the road from
Kwel-Yung-Fu to the western frontier of
China; a promise from China not to alienate
any of the territory in the four southern
provinces of the empire, which comprise
about one-eighth of tne entire domain; an
agreement not to transfer to any other
power the island of Hainan, which lies oft
the coast of the French possessions in Ton-
quin and commands the entire coast, be-
sides some voice in the administration of
the Chinese postal service, then under Eng-
lish control. The important part of this
agreement to France is the railroad conces-
sion to Yunnan-Fu, in the center of that
province, which is one of the richest in the
Chinese empire. This road ending in French
territory will be of inestimable value to
France from a commercial point of view.
Of course Great Britain must have con-
cessions In the south to equal those of
Prance, as she had In the north to offset
such as had been granted to Russia and
Germany. The result was that China leased
to Great Britain, for ninety-nine years,
about 200 square miles of territory on the
mainland north of Hongkong, taking in
parts of Mirs bay on the east and Deep bay
on the west, as well as the Island of Lan-
tao.
While the partition of China Is yet In Its
infancy. It Is plainly to be seen that so far
British diplomacy and influence have been
more than a match for Russian ambition,
German greed and French aggression, much
as those nations have already secured from
China. No nation in Europe has been more
fully aware of the Inherent weakness of
China than Great Britain, and the main de-
sire she has had has been to strengthen her
hold on the trade of the fabulously rich
valley of the Yang-tse-KIang, which em-
braces nearly one-half of the valuable area
of the empire. The river Is 3,350 miles in
length, and drains, with Its tributaries,
nearly 800,000 square miles of territory,
while they together furnish a system of In-
land waterways about 12,000 m'les In length.
The eastern portion of this ricb valley, the
province of Szechnen, borders British Bar-
ma. This entire valley is under British in-
fluence, while the footholds Great Britain
has at Wei-Hai-Wei and Hongkong give
her practically the control of the mouth of
that mighty stream. With railroads enter-
ing this open back door of China, Szechnen,
Great Britain can control the trade of the
entire Yang-tse basin for Its whole distance.
In the northern provinces of Shansi and
Honan there are immense deposits of coal,
and these are controlled by an Anglo-Italian
syndicate which has railroad concessions of
great value and Importance. This, with the
financial obligations of China to Great
Britain, gives the latter an Influence that
cannot be overlooked id the discussion of
any plan proposed for the dismemberment of
the Chinese empire.
TEE PAETinON OF AFRICA.
The scramble among the nations of Europe
for colonial possessions in Africa is of com-
paratively recent origin. While the earliest
explorations began in 1553, when a body of
British merchants sent out in search of
trade a few vessels to Guinea, there was no
thought of anything more than an effort to
find a new market for English productions.
It was more than forty years later, in 1595,
that the Dutch followed the English mer-
chants in the attempt to establish a trading
station on the coast of Guinea. About -the
same time that the British traders began
the exploration of the Guinea coast the
French set out on the same errand and
located at what is now known as French
Guinea. Thus at the beginning of the
seventeenth century nearly all the portions
of Africa that were held by the nations of
Europe were the three divisions of the coast
of Guinea that were known respectively as
British. French and Dutch Guinea.
V. I
THE WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF WINE.

Even at the end of that century England
and France were the principal rivals for
African trade, but at the close of the
French wars France had lost nearly all her
possessions in Africa as well as elsewhere.
In this war Great Britain acquired tlie
ascendency in African affairs, which she
stubbornly held for 200 years. Leaving the
coast, England pushed into the interior,
while France annexed Algeria, Senegambla
and Sierra Leone. Generally the partition
of Africa went on slowly and peaceably,
and it was not until the Brussels confer-
ence in 1878 that the unrestrained scramble
began that has resulted in the division of
the entire continent among the different
nations of Europe. Thus in 1876, while
Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal
had located colonies on the coast of Africa,
the interior was held by the wild tribes that
occupied it against all foreign aggression.
The Berlin conference in 1876 was the time
at which the energetic division of the con-
tinent was inaugurated, and at the close of
1890 of the 11,900,000 square miles of ter-
ritory composing the continent of Africa
only some 1,600,0^0 remained open to seizure
by the nations of Ehirope. There were
even then some conflicting claims that had
not been settled, as the conflicts between
French, German and British interests on
the Niger clearly testified. But these, to-
gether with the disputes between Portugal
and England in the upper Zambesi, have
been decided, or are in process of amicable
settlement, and it is mainly the claims
that arise ont of the British occupation of
Egypt and the Sudan that still appear to
threaten war.
The following table shows the possessions
held by each of the European nations, the
area of each and the estimated population:

tban one In this little space, the commonest
sanitary provisions are Impossible. Condi-
tions are unmentionable in this respect.
Tom from their homes, with foul earth, fonl
air, fool water and foul food, or none, what
wonder that one-half have died and that
onc^-guarter of the living are so diseased
that they cannot be savea!
"Of tne hospitals I need not speak.
Others have described their condition far
better than I can. It is not within the nar-
row limits of my vocabulary to portray it.
I went to Cuba with a strons conviction
that the picture had been overdrawn; that
a few cases of starvation and suffering had
Inspired and stimulated the press corre-
spondents, and they had given free play to a
BtroncT, natural and highly cultivated imag-
ination. What I saw I cannot tell so that
others can see it. It must be seen with
one's own eyes to be realized. The Los
Pasos hospital in Havana has been recently
described by one of my colleagues. Senator
Galllnger, and I cannot say that his picture
was overdrawn, for even his fertile pen
coald not do more. He visited it after Dr.
Lesear, one of Miss Barton's very able and
eflBcient assistants, had renovated it and
put in cots. I saw it when 400 women and
children were lying on the stone floors in an
indescribable state of emaciation and dis-
ease, many with the scantiest covering of
rags— and such rags!— and sick children,
nalked as they came into the world. And
the conditions in the other cities are even
worse
*'When will the need for this help end?
Not nntil peace comes and the reconcen-
trados can go back to their country, rebuild
their homes, reclaim their tillage plats,
which quickly run up to brush in that won-
derful soil and clime, and until they can be
free from danger of molestation in so doing.
Until then the American people must in
the main care for them. It is true that
the alcaldes, other local authorities and re-
lief committees are now trying to do some-
tiling, and desire, I believe, to db the best
they can. But the problem is beyond their
means and capacity and the work is one to
which they are not accustomed."
No accurate report has been made, and
probably it is impossible to make one, that
will give the number of deaths by starva-
tion that followed Wevler's order for con-
centrating the non-combatants in the forti-
fied towns held by the Spanish forces, but
conservative estimates place the number at
from 200,000 to 400,000 persons.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
On the ITth of March the Cuban junta in
New York issued the following address:
**To the American People: The frequency
with which theve have lately appeared in
the public press suggestions made by ma-
licious or misinformed individuals that
Cuba would accept or could be forced to ac-
cept autonomy, or anything short of inde-
pendence, has impelled us to make a defi-
nite and final statement on this subject.
"From the first our motto has been 'In-
dependence or death.' We are now more
^rmly than ever determined to carry out our
programme. As we will not accept, we will
not even discuss the proposals of autonomy.
After three years of the most sanguinary,
barbarous and uncivilized warfare of mod-
em times, carried on by Spain, we are
stronger than ever. It is for us to say what
wUl satisfy us, not for others. Our Ideals
and our national htfnor we can confide to
the keeping of ourselves alone.
mmmmmtmrnmammmmBmrnaBasBBaBBR
"I cannot think that the American people
have forgotten the principle laid down in
their own declaration of independence, nor
can I believe that any true American can be
found who would advise us to forsake the
ideal of republican government for the mo-
narchical, even in its most liberal form.
"There is no way to compel the Cubans
to accept autonomy except by force of arms.
We have fought three years, not against
Spain alone, but against the whole world.
Not a helping hand was extended to us, no
country gave us equal rights with Spain.
The right to arm our people by ptirchasing
weapons in this country and transporting
them to Cub^a is admitted, but although en-
faged in lawful traffic we had to run the
lockade to get from these shoi-es, and agaiu
run the gantlet in Cuba. Our ships and
cargoes were seized, sublected to delay, but
invariably restored by the slow and costly
process of the law. Nevertheless we never
faltered. We always appreciated the fact
that the sympathy of the American people
was with us. Spain has proved impotent to
compel us by force to accept autonomy.
She now desires the aid of the United
States to compel us to accept.
"I cannot believe that the American peo-
fle would lend themselves to the most
reacherous and bloodstained monarchy of
history for such a purpose. Should such
f»rove to be the case, however, I declare In
he name of the Cuban people in arms that
force alone can compel our submission. We,
who have seen hundreds of thousands of
our race and families exterminated by slow
starvation by a cowardly decree of the most
Inhuman commander of sanguinary Spain,
will fight against anything but independ-
ence, no matter who opposes us.
"If, unfortunately, this incredible pro-
posal be carried into effect, and American
bayonets are arrayed against us in our
struggle for freedom and in aid of the
Spanish monarchy, we will fight on, sadly
but determinedly, and let history Judjre
whether the vanquished had not a purer
ideal of free institutions than the victors.
In such case we will be exterminated, but
future generations will again take up our
flag and our aspirations and Cuba will yet
be free. Nor will we ever agree to a truce
until our independence is established. We
will continue to flght, as did the Americans
under Jackson at tne battle of New Orleans,
even after the treaty of peace is signed, if
it should be necessary.
"The Cubans cannot be convinced that
the United States will ever try to force us
to remain under the Spanish flag, but I have
deemed it my duty to appeal to the gener-
osity, the sympathy and the patriotism of
the American people, to the end that they
may understand the justice and firmness ol
our demand for complete Independence.
"TOM AS ESTRADA PALMA."
In the senate several resolutions were in-
trmluced which expressed the sense of thai
body upon the Cuban situation. On the
29th of March the following resolutions were
offered. Those by Senator Allen (Pop.) oJ
Nebraska were as follow^
"Whereas, The war now and for som<

Ity to relieve tbose whom she has thus
bron^ht to sncb dire distress, and our re-
peated protests haying been disregarded and
our efforts of philanthropy haying proved
muiTalllng; and,
"Whereas, Firmly convinced that further
peaceful protest will prove equally in vain
and that the recognition of the independ-
ence of the republic of Cuba and armed
intervention in its behalf by this govern-
ment will alone be effective for the redress
of past and the prevention of future wrongs;
and.
"Whereas, While regretting the necessity
—now imperious— for such action, but mind-
ful of our duty to a neighboring people and
to humanity, and with a clear consciousness
as to the Justness of our cause and that our
action will meet with the approving Judg-
ment of all civilized peoples; now, there-
fore, be it
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America In congress assembled. That the
independence of the republic of Cuba be
and the same is hereby recognized, and that
war against the kingdom of Spain be and
the same is hereby declared, and that the
president is hereby authorized and directed
to employ the land and naval forces of the
United States of America to wage such war
to success."
The feeling In the house of representa-
tives was as pronounced as in the senate,
although less active. On the 30th of March
Representative Mahany (R^p.) of New York
presented the following:
"Whereas, It has been the immemorial
spirit of the American republic to foster,
with due respect to the Just restrictions of
international obligations, the growth of
freedom everywhere in the world, and es-
pecially in the western hemisphere; and,
"Whereas, The kingdom of Spain has dur-
ing the last three years failed utterly t'^
maintain its dominion in the island of Cuba,
or to exhibit the attributes of actual sov-
eignty, either in the conduct of the war or
the civil administration of the law; and,
"Whereas, During the same period the
Cuban insurgents have continuously had
and victoriously defended nine-tenths of
Cuban territory; and,
"Whereas, The war as now prosecuted by
the Spanish forces in that island dooms un-
counted thousands of non-combatants — old,
helpless men, defenseless women and chil-
dren — to the inconceivable horrors of death
by starvation; now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled. That the
American people, impelled bv a solemn
sense of their duty to humanity and ani-
mated with a Just regard for the rights of
a people who have heroically sacrificed and
nobly battled to be free, do hereby recog-
nize the republic of Cuba as a free and in-
dependent state and welcome her to the sis-
terhood of republics In the western world."
Similar resolutions were offered by Brod-
erick (Rep.) of Kansas, Wheeler (Demj of
Alabama, Adamson (Dem.) of Georgia, Todd
(Pop.) of Michigan and others.
The result of these resolutions was a con-
ference committee of the two houses of con-
gress, when the following preamble and
resolutions were agreed upon and adopted
April 19, 1898:
"Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have shocked the moral sense
of the people of the United States, have
been a disgrace to Christian civilization,
culminating, as they have, in the destruc-
tion of a United States battleship, with 266
of its officers and crew, while on a friendly
visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot
longer be endured, as has been set forth
by the president of the United States in
his message to congress, April 11, 1898, upon
which the action of congress was invited;
therefore,
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled:
"1. That the j^eople of the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and in-
dependent.
^^2. That It Is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government of
the United States does hereby demand, that
the government of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and government in the island
of Cuba and withdraw Its laud and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president of the United
States be, and he hereby is, directed and
empowered to use the entire land and naval
forces of the United States, and to call into
the actual service of the United States the
militia of the several states, to such an ex-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
"4. That the United States hereby dis-
claims any disposition or intention to exer-
cise sovereignty. Jurisdiction or control over
said Island, except for the pacification
thereof; and asserts its determination,
when that Is accomplished, to leave the gov-
ernment and control of the island to its peo-
ple."
Adopted by Senate— Yeas, 42; nays, 35.
Adopted by House— Yeas, 310; nays, 6.
This brings the record of the Cuban revolt
down to the time when the patriots' cause
was espoused by the United States and the
war bin was passed by congress pursuant to
the request of the president, as conveyed in
his message to congress bearing date April
25, 1898.
THE SPANISH-AMERIOAir WAS.
In his message to congress, transmitted on
the 6th of December, 1^97, the president re-
viewed the history of the relations subsist-
ing between the united States and the gov-
ernment of Spain in which the island of
Cuba was involved for the last seventy-five
or eighty years. This message may be
found in The Dally News Almanac for 1898,
page 216.
The war with Spain was not Inspired on
the part of this country either by a spas-
modic outburst of sympathy for the Cuban
patriots or by a sudden resentment against
Spain for her efforts to force the suffering
Insurgents again Into a condition worse
than that of servitude. Nor was It encour-
aged by the American people against a na-
tion their inferiors in every way with the
expectation or hope of acquiring territorial
or financial gain or benefit. For more than
half a century the people of the United
States had witnessed the almost continuous
efforts of the Cubans to free themselves
from a government wholly infamous and
universally detested by the vast majority of
the inhabitants of the island. They had

monition. The result was that in 1871 a
large portion of the rebel forces In central
Cuba laid down their arms. Gen. Agra-
monte, howeyer, refused to do so, and, with
his cavalry as a nucleus, he organized an
army and kept up the war for two years un-
til he was killed. In 1873 Cespedes, who had
been chosen president of the republic of
Cuba by the provisional congress, waS de-
posed and Cisneros was chosen in bis place.
Cespedes was later killed by the Spaniards.
In a desultory way the war was continued
until 1878, when Gen. Martinez Campos on
behalf of Spain brought it to a close by
promises of concessions and reforms, and
a treaty of peace was entered into near Kl
Zanjon in February of that year. In this
ten years of war Spain employed 235,298
men, of whom 81,098 died or were killed.
No one of the promises made by Gen. Cam-
pos, as a condition for the surrender of the
rebels, was ever kept.
The Virginius aflMiir did more than any
previous incident to arouse the American
people against Spain. The Virginius was a
blockade-running steamer that was taken
during our civil war and sold as b prize.
She was purchased by an American end
given an American register. While cruising
in Caribbean waters she was captured by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado, Oct. 31, 1873,
and taken into the port of Santiago de C?uba.
She had on board 165 persons, some of Whom
were British and others American subjects.
The men were immediately tried, and before
Ny>v. 8 six British and thirty Americans had
been shot. Further executions were pre-
vented by the arrival of the British warship
Niobe, commanded by Sir Lambton Lorraine,
who threatened to bombard the city if the
executions were not stopped. The United
States government took the case in hand
and instructed Gen. Sickles, our minister at
Madrid, to demand satisfaction from Spain
for the outrage. It . was not until Gen.
Sickles had demanded his passports from
the Danish government that an arrange-
ment was effected. The result was that on
the 19th of December, 1873, the Virginius
and the surviving crew were surrendered to
the United States and the sum of $80,000
was paid by Spain as an indemnity to the
American families who had suffered by the
killing of their members. This brings the
story of Cuba's efforts for freedom and
America's connection therewith down to the
revolution that broke out in February, 1895.
It is unnecessary to go over the events of
this revolt, as they have been given in de-
tail In The Daily News Almanac for the
years 1896, 1897, 1898 and in the present
volume.
The devotion of the Cubans to their cause,
the brutcllty end inhumanity with which
the peaceable inhabitants of the island have
been treated and the inability of our gov-
ernment to induce Spain to adopt reforms in
the island that would be acceptable to the
Cnbans made intervention a duty the United
States could not evade. It is possible that
war might have been avoided had not a
Domber of unfortunate circumstances pre-
vented. The bitterness in Havana against
this country, the Insulting procrastination
with which Spain treated every attempt of
the United States to bring about an amica-
ble settlement of existing difficulties, the
avowed determination of Weyler to depopu-
late the island by starving the non-comba-
tants, regardless of sex or age, and the
■acriflce of all American interests in Cuba
aroused the people of this country to
pitch of feeling that was wholly new ar
irresistible.
The first event after the beginning of tl
new year (1898) to seriously disturb the pul
lie mind was the publication of a lett(
written by Senor de Lome, the Spanii
minister at Washington, to Jose Canaleja
which contained very insulting and depr
catory references to **3e president. Th
letter was given out hy the Cuban Junta at
published Feb. 8, 1898. Literally translate
it was as follows:
"Legation de Eapana, Washington.— Exln
SenorDon Jose Canalejas— My Dlstinguishc
and Dear Friend: You need not apologia
for not having written to me. I also ougl
to have written to you, but have not dor
so on account of being weighed down wit
work and nous sommes quittes.
"The situation here continues unchange<
Everything depends on the political an
military success in Cuba. The prologue <
this second method of warfare will end ti
day that the colonial cabinet will be a]
pointed, and it relieves us In the eyes (
this country of a part of the responsibilit
for what may happen there, and they mus
cast the responsibility upon the Cubani
whom they believe to be so Immaculate.
"Until then we will not be able to s€
clearly, and I consider it to be a loss (
time and an advance by the wrong road, tt
sending of emissaries to the rebel field, tli
negotiating with the autonomists not yt
declared to be legally eonstituted and tt
discovery of the intentions and purpose (
this government. The exiles will return on
by one, and when they return will com
walking into tne sheepfold, and the chiel
will gradually return. Neither of these ha
the courage to leave en masse, and they wl
not have the courage to thus return^
"The message has undeceived the insui
gents, who expected something else, and ha
paralyzed the action of congress, but I cor
slder it h&d. Besides the natural and ii
evitable coarseness with which he repeat
all that the presa and public opinion c
Spain has said of Weyler, it shows one
more what McKinley is, weak and caterln
to the rabble, and besides, a low politiclai
who desires to leave a door open to me an
to stand well with the Jingoes of his partj
"Nevertheless, as a matter of fact, it wi
only depend on ourselves whether he wi
prove bad and adverse to us. I agree er
tirely with you, without a military sucees
nothing will be accomplished there, an
without military and political success ther
is here always danger that the insurgent
will be encouraged, If not by the goveri
ment, at least by part of the public opinior
"I do not believe you pay enough attentio
to the role of England. Nearly all tlia
newspaper canaille which swarms in you
hotel are English, and at the same tim
that they are correspondents of the Journs
they are also correspondents of the bes
newspapers and reviews of London. Thus 1
has been since the beginning. To my min
the only object of England is that th
Americans should occupy themselves wit
us and leave her In peace, and if there is
war, so much the better; that would furthe
remove what is threatening her — althoug
that will never happen.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
effect that only one explosion occurred; that
DO bolamn of water was thrown into the air;
that no shock to the side of the nearest ves-
sel was felt, nor on land was any vibration
noticed, and that no dead fish were found.
"The evidence of the senior pilot of the
harbor states that there is abundance of fish
In the harbor, and this Is corroborated by
other witnesses. The assistant engineer of
wotks states mat after the explosions made
during the execution of works in the harbor
he has always found dead fish.
'*The divers were unable to examine the
bottom of the Maine, which was buried in
the mud, but a careful examination of the
sides of the vessel, the rents end breaks, in
which all point outward, shows without a
doubt that the explosion was from the in-
side.
"A minute examination of the bottom of
the harbor around the vessel shows abso-
lutely no sign of the action of a torpedo,
and the fiscal (judge-advocate) of the com-
mission can find no precedent for the ex-
Elosion of the vtorage magazines of a vessel
y a torpido.
"The report makes clear that, owing to
the special nature of the proceedings fol-
lowed and the absolute respect shown for
the extra-territorlality of the Maine, the
commission has been prevented from making
such an examination of the Inside of the
vessel as would determine even the hypothe-
sis of the internal origin of the accident.
This l0 to be attributed to the regrettable
refusal to permit of the necessary co-opera-
tion of the Spanish commission both with
the commander and crew of the Maine and
the different American oSclals commis-
sioned to investigate the causes of the ac-
cident and later on with those employed in
salvage work.
**The report finishes by stating that an ex-
amination of the inside and outside of the
Maine as soon as such examination may be
possible, as also of the bottom where the
vessel rests, will prove that, supposing the
remains [of the wreck] not to be totally or
partially altered in the process of extrac-
tion, the explosion was undoubtedly due to
some interior cause."
There was only one opinion In the United
States regarding the responsibility for the
loss of the Maine. The American people,
while not asserting that the act was one of
treachery on the part of the Spanish gov-
ernment, did believe that without complic-
ity on the part of Spanish officials at Movro
castle the vessel would not have been
blown up by mines operated by electric bat-
teries located within that fortification. As
indicating the sentiment at foreign capitals
the plea for peace made by six of the rep-
resentatives of the leading governments of
Europe was significant.
On the 5th of April Consul-General Lee
was directed to leave Havana and return to
the United States, closing the American
consulate in that city. This he did on the
10th Inst., turning over the affairs of this
Sovernment to the British consul. This was
eemed necessary on account of the threat-
ening attitude of the Spaniards of the city,
and the president believed that the life of
the consul-general was in danger, en opin-
ion which all the American residents in
Cuba shared.
On the 7th of April, 1898, several diplo-
matic officials met at the British embassy
shortly before noon and proceeded to the
president's mansion and the department of
state. The party was made up as follows:
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, dean of the diplomatic corps.
M. Cambon, the French ambassador, and
M. Thiebaut, first secretary of the French
embassy.
Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambas-
sadcHT, with Baron Speck von Stemburg,
first secretaiT of the German embassy.
Mr. HengelmuUer, the Austrian minister.
Count Vinci, the Italian charge d'affaires.
l^r. de Wollant, the Russian charge
d'affaires.
Arriving at the white house they were
ushered into the bine room and there were
received by President McKinley. After a
social exchange and mutual well wishes Sir
Julian Pauncefote «aid:
"Mr. President: We have been commis-
sioned by the great powers of Europe, whom
we represent here to-day, to i^pproach your
excellency with a message of friendship and
peace at the present critical Juncture in the
relations between the United States and
Spain, and to convey to yon the sentiments
expressed in the collective note whicli I
have the honor to place in your hands."
The British ambassador then handed to
President McKinley the collective note of
the powers, which reads as follows:
"The undersigned, representatives of Ger-
many, Austria-Hungary, France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia, duly authorized
in that behalf, address, in the name of their
respective governments, a pressing appeal
to the feelings of humanity and moderation
of the president and of the American people
in their existing differences with Spain.
They earnestly nope that further negotia-
tions will lead to an agreement which,
while securing the maintenance of peace,
will afford all necessary guaranties for the
re-establishment of order in Cuba.
"The powers do not doubt that the hu-
manitarian and purely disinterested char-
acter of this representation will be fully
recognized and appreciated by the American
nation."
President McKinley then handed to Sir
Julian Pauncefote the answer of the United
States, as follows:
"The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has prompted
the friendly communication of the repre-
sentatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary,
France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, as
set forth In the address of your excellencies,
and shares the hope therein expressed that
the outcome of the situation in Cuba may
be the maintenance of peace between the
United States and Spain by affording the
necessary guaranties for the re-establish-
ment of order in the island, so terminating
the chronic condition of disturbance there
which so deeply injures the interests and
menaces the tranquillity of the American
nation by the character and consequences of
the struggle thus kept np at our doors, be*
sides shocking its sentiment of hunmni^.
"The government of the United States ap-
preciates the humanitarian and disinter-
ested character of the communication now
made on behalf of the powers named, and
for its part is confident that equal appre-
ciation will be shown for its own earnest
and unselfl^ endeavors to fulfill a duty to
humanity by ending a situation the indefi-
nite prolongation of which has become in-
sufferable."^

THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
123
THE ISLAITD OF CUBA.
The island of Cuba was discovered by
Columbus on bis first voyage, Oct. 28, 1492,
and settled by Velasquez in 1511-12. It is
the largest of tbe Antilles and lies between
20 and 23 degrees north latitude and 74 and
85 degrees of longitude west of Greenwicb.
The western portion is about 130 miles soutb
of Florida and alwut ninety miles from Key
West, and from time iumiemorial it has
been known as "the key to the Gulf of
Mexico." On the coat of arms of the city
)f Havana is a key conspicuously dlsplayea,
wbich seems to imply that the city controls
tbe waters in which it is so centrally lo-
cated. Tbe northern coast has a length of
about 918 miles indented with thirty-two
harbors, of which ten are denominated as
"first class." The most important of these
are Havana, Mariel, Cabanas, Bahia Honda,
Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua, Caibarlen. Nue-
vitas and Jibara. The southern coast has a
length of 972 miles, with twelve important
harbors, tbe best of which are Guantanamo,
Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos. Most of
the important harbors of the island are
spacious and will admit vessels drawing
twenty-six feet of water.
cleanliness is practically unknown. The
following table, prepared by W. F. R. Phil-
lips of the United States weather bureau,
shows the average monthly temperature acu
rainfall at Havana for the last ten years.
At Matanzas the temperature is slightly
higher than at Havana and at Santiago de
Cuba the annual average is about 4 degrees
higher than at the capital city. At Havana
tbe maximum temperature is between noon
and 2 o'clock p. m. and the minimum be-
tween dawn and sunrise.
There are only two marked seasons in
Cuba, the dry and the rainy. The rainy sea-
sou at Havana begins in the latter part of
May and ends with October. Relatively the
greater bulk of the rain falls during the
mouths from June to October, for during
this period tbe average rainfall is 32.37
inches, or 63 per cent of the annual fall.

Tbe exact area of the Island has not been
determined. Estimates vary from about
35,000 to 72,000 square miles. At tbe lower
estimate Cuba would be about equal in size
to the state of Indiana and a little larger
than the state of Maine. At the larger esti-
mate it would exceed somewhat the state of
North Dakota. Through the Island from
east to west extends a chain of mountains
the highest of which is about 8,000 feet.
The territory is well supplied with streams,
there being more than 200 rivers, the most
important of which is tbe Cauto in the
province of Santiago de Cuba, which is 150
miles long and navigable for small craft for
fifty miles. Another large stream is the
Bagua, in the province of Santa Clara, which
is HI miles long and has twelve miles of
navigable channel.
As a role the climate of Cuba is healthful,
especially in tbe rural districts in the east
and center of the island. There arc Home
localities where malarial fevers prevail and
in many of the cities yellow fever, but this
is connned mainly to towns in which the
sanitary conditions are bad and where
are in general perfectly cloudless. It may
almost be said that during these months m.
clouds are to be seea in the atmosphere
except while the showers are falling, while
in other months cloudy days sometimeb
occur without rain."
According to an oflScial census taken in
1890 the population of Cuba was then
1,631,687. For years Cuba has been the
theater of war and grreat mortality and dev-
astation have occurred. An oflScial state-
ment made by our government says:
"It may be assumed that the present popu-
lation is not in excess of the figures ot
1890 and it may be considerably lower. It
has been estimated that, taking as a basis
the kingdom of Belgium (482 inhabitants to
tbe square mile), Cuba could support 24,000,-
000 people. Of the population in 1890 the
percentages, according to race, were:
Whites, 65; colored and Chinese, 35. The
actual number of white Cubans was given
at 950,000; colored Cubans, 500,000, and
Spaniards, 160,000."
In a report made to the government in
1897 by Mr. Hyatt, United States consul at
124
CHICAGO DAILY NBWS ALMANAC FOR 1809.
Santiago de Cuba, he says: "The produc-
tive soil, mineral wealth and climatic con-
ditions of the island entitle it to rank
among the foremost communities of the
world. The soil is a marvel of richness and
fertiliEers are seldom used, unless in the
case of tobacco, even though the same crops
be grown on the same land for a hundred
years, as has happened in some of the old
sugar-cane fields. The mountains are of
coral formation, while the lowlands of
eastern Cuba at least seem to be composed
largely of fossils of sea matter from pre-
historic times and are extremely rich in
lime and phosphate, which accounts for
their apparent Inexhaustibleness. Although
founded and settled more than fifty years
before the United States, Cuba has still
13,000,000 acres of primeval forests; mahog-
any, cedar, logwood, redwood, ebony, lig-
num-vitse and caigruaran (which is more
durable in the ground than iron or steel) are
among the woods.
"If all the land suitable to the growth of
sugar cane were devoted to that Industry
it is estimated that Cuba might supply the
entire western hemisphere with sugar. The
island has already produced in a single
year for export 1,000,000 tons and its capa-
bilities have only been in the experimental
stage. The adaptability of the soil for to-
bacco culture has long been known. Cuba
takes great pride in the quality of her cof-
fee and until the war the plantations were
flourishing."
The land is not suited to the cultivation
of cereals. No flour mill, Mr. Hyatt thinks,
exists on the island. The consul continues:
"In mineral wealth Cuba is capable of
taking high rank. Gold and silver nave not
been found in paying quantities. Uopper
was mined at Cobre by the natives before
Columbus discovered the Island and there
is strong proof that native copper was
carried across to Florida and used by the
Florida Indians hundreds of years ago.
The mound-builders of that state buried
with their dead copper ornaments and uten-
sils hammered from native copper, which
always has an admixture of more or less
foreign matter. As no copper ore is found
in Florida or in the United States for a
long distance from there, and as that found
in the United States or in Mexico does not
correspond chemically with that burled with
the mound-builders, it occurred to Prof.
R. H. Sanders of the Academv of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia that it was possi-
ble that these mound-builders had water
communication with Cuba and got their
copper from here. He therefore communi-
cated with the writer and procured a sam-
ple of native Cuban copper, which proved
upon analysis to be identical with that used
in the copper ornaments mentioned. In the
early part of the present century some
English capitalists purchased these mines,
which are nine miles from Santiago. The
books of this consulate show that from 1828
to 1840 an average of from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000 worth of copper ore was shipped
annually to the United States from tnese
mines. How much was shipped elsewhere
I have not the means of knowing.
**The iron mines of Cuba, all of which
are located near Santiago, overshadow in
importance all other industries on the east-
em end of the island, constituting the only
industry that has made any pretense of
withstanding the shock of the present insur-
rection. The Juragua and Baiqulri Iron
companies (American), with a combined
capital of over $6,000,000, now operate mlne.^
in this vicinity and employ from 800 to 1,400
men, shipping to the United States from
80,000 to &0,000 tons of iron ore per month,
the largest portion of which is used at
Bethlehem, Steelton, Sparrows Point and
Pittsburg. The ore of these mines is among
the richest in the world, yielding from 62 to
67 per cent of pure iron, and is very free
from sulphur and phosphorus. There are
numerous undeveloped mines of equal value
In this region.
"In the Sierra Maestra range, on the
southern coast of Cuba, from Santiago west
to Manzanillo, within a distance of about
100 miles, are found numerous deposits of
manganese, an ore indispensable in the
manufacture of steel. American capital
opened a mine about twenty miles distant,
at a place called Ponupo, and built a rail-
road to it. After shipping one cargo the
mines were stopped by the insurgents. As
nearly all the manganese used in the United
States comes from the Black sea regions of
Europe and a smaller quantity from the
northern part of South America, it is but
reasonable to suppose that the products of
these near-by mines will be in great aemand
when the conditions are such that they can
l>e operated in safety.
"Railroads and other highways, improved
machinery and more modern methods of
doing business are among the wants of
Cuba, and with the onward march of civili-
zation these will doubtless be hers in the
near future. Cuba, like other tropical and
semi-tropical countries, is not given to
manufacturing; her people would rather sell
the products of the soil and mines and buy
manufactured goods. The possibilities of
the island are great, while the probabilities
remain an unsolved problem."
Regarding the agricultural productions of
Cuba the Bulletin of the Bureau of Amer-
ican Republics, published by the United
States government, says:
"The great wealth of Cuba lies in the
wonderful fertility of its soil. It is esti-
mated that the island has 35,000,000 acres
of land, but in 1868, according to oflicial
statistics, only 2,689,400 were under cultiva-
tion, 9,974,134 acres were utilized in cattle-
raising and nearly 16,000,000 were still virgin
forest. Ten years later, after the long in-
surrection, considerable land was cleared
and the production of sugar assumed large
proportions. On the other hand, old lanus
were abandoned and the acreage was not
greatly Increased. It may be assumed,
therefore, that only a small fraction of the
agricultural wealth of Cuba has been de-
veloped and that at least 20,000,000 acres of
land await the application of Industry and
capital.
"The principal Industry of Cuba has been
for many years the cultivation of sugar
cane and the making of sugar, but this in-
dustry has suffered In recent years by the
competition of European beet sugar and the
internal disorders of the island. With the
occupation of the island by the United
States it is more than probable that the
sugar industry will again revive and become
remunerative. The great advantage of
sugar-growing in Cuba is found In the fact
that the cane reproduces itself, without the
necessity of resowlng, for ten, fifteen or
twenty years, according to the nature of the
soil. The sugar is of superior quality and
THE ISLAND OP CUBA.
125
the proximity of the island to the United
States of America is a favoring condition.
The production of sagar from 1894 to i»a5
aggregated over 1,000,000 tons. From 1896 to
1896 it was only 225.000 tons.
"Cuba has long been famous for the supe-
riority of its tobacco. Efforts have been
made to rival the Cuban tobacco in different
parts of the world, but it seems to hold its
own as excelling all others. The plant is
grown in greatest abundance in the western
part of the island, Vuelta Abajo, and in
acme localities in the provinces of Santa
Clara and Santiago de Cuba. Next in rank
in quality and quantity is the product of the
district of Manicaragua in the province of
Santa Clara. The Vuelta Abajo region,
where the best tobacco on the island is
raised, has suffered considerably from in-
surrection and it is believed that the crop
for 1897 will not exceed 80,000 bales of 110
pounds — a tenth part, approximately, of the
ordinary yield. Nearly all the leaf tobacco
and about half the twist of Cuba is ex-
ported to the United States.
* 'Coffee for a long time constituted one of
the principal products of Cuba, but since
1845 the development of the coffee product
of Brazil and other countries, together with
economic conditions in Cuba, caused the cul-
tivation to decline and coffee is now raised
almost exclusively for local consumption.
"Besides sugar, tobacco and coffee Cuba
produces all the different classes of fruits
known to the tropics and many of those
belonging to the temperate zone. Among
them are the pineapple, the banana, the
orange, the mango and the guava. The
cocoannt is also an important product. TUe
forest wealth of Cuba is very great and but
slightly developed. The island is rich in
cabinet wood, among which the most im-
portant are mahogany and cedar. Among
the trees the one most characteristic of
a Cuban landscape is the palm, of which
there are thirty-two species. Its wood and
leaves are employed in the manufacture of
several articles of trade, including hats and
baskets. The soil of the island is well
adapted to the production of all kinds of
vegetables. The Cuban potato is said to be
as good as that of Bermuda or Peru and the
sweet potatoes are of superior quality.
"The price of Cuban land varies to a con-
siderable extent. In the wealthy sugar dis-
tricts 1,000, 1,200 and sometimes 3,000 pesos
($926, $1,111 and $2,778) was paid per *cabal-
leria' (about 32.1 acres), but in other sec-
tions of the island, and especially where
there are no railway facilities, land could
be obtained at a nominal price."
Cuba has several important cities and
towns. The largest is Havana, the capital,
situated on the northern coast, and which
has long been famous for its commerce. The
city has a population of about 200,000; it is
the residence of the captain-general and
other authorities. It is defended by eight
forts, has a fine navy yard, arsenal, gun
manufactory, repair shops, barracks and
hospitals. It has also three large markets,
twenty-four churches, six theaters, a uni-
versity, a school' of fine arts, several public
libraries and many educational institutions.
It has several manufactories, street-railway
and omnibus lines, railroads connecting with
other parts of the Island, gas and electric
lifting plants and eighty newspapers and
other periodicals.
Pinar del Rio, capital of the province of
the same name, has a population of 30,000.
It is situated about 136 miles southwest of
Havana, with which it is connected by a
railroad. It is noted for the line quality of
the tobacco grown in its vicinity.
Matanzas, capital of the province of Ma<
tanzas, is sixty-six miles east of Havana
and has a population of 56,000. It is famous
for its proximity to the Bellamar caves and
the valley of the Yumuri.
Cardenas is ninety miles east of Havana
and is a commercial port of importance, it
has a population of 23,000.
Santa Clara, 216 miles east of the capital,
with which it is connected by rail^ has a
population of 32,000.
Sagua la Grande, eighty miles east of Ha-
vana, is situated on the river of the same
name, seven miles from its mouth, and has
a population of 18,000,
Cienfuegos, in the province of Santa Clara,
is situated on the southern coast of the
island, on the fine bay of Jagua, and is a
thriving center of trade. It is about 100
miles southeast of ±iavana and has 40,000
inhabitants. In the same province are
Trinidad, with 29,000 inhabitants; Sancti
Espiritu, 20,000, and San de los Uemedlos,
15,000.
Puerto Principe, capital of that province,
some 200 miles east of Havana, has 49,000
inhabitants.
Santiago de Cuba is the capital of the
province in which it is situated, has a
population of about 50,oOO and one of the
finest harbors on the southern coast. It has
a number of important buildings and at one
time was. the capital of the island. It is a
noted city, but in the future it will be best
known because of its capitulation to the
American army of invasion on the 14th of
July, 1898. In the same province are the
important towns of Manzanillo, Bayanao.
Jiguani, Holguin, Jibara, Cuantanamo and
Baracoa.
There are ten railway companies operating
lines of road In Cuba, the more Important
being the Ferrocarriles Unidos, witn 1,000
miles of main road connecting Havana with
Matanzas, Batabano, Union and Quanajay.
The next In importance is the Western rail-
way, ninety-six miles long, running to Pinar
del Rio.
The telegraph and telephone systems in
Cuba belong to the government, but the lat-
ter is farmed out for a limited number of
years to a company called the Red Tele-
fonica de la Habana. Nearly all the public
and private buildings In the city and sub-
urbs are connected by telephone. The
Statesman's Year Book, 1898, says that
there are 2,300 miles of telegraph line with
153 ofHces.
Under the Spanish administration Cuba
was divided into three regions— the western,
central and eastern. Each region comprises
two provinces, divided into several Judicial
districts, and these again subdivided into
municipal sections. The western region
embraces the provinces of Pinar del Rio and
Havana, the central comprises the provinces
of Matanzas and Santa Clara and the east-
ern provinces are made up of Puerto Prin-
cipe and Santiago de Cuba. The capital of
the Island is the city of Havana, .
Prior to 1898 the island was governed by a
governor and captain-general, appointed by
the Spanish crown, who Is the superior po-
litical, military and economic chief. Each
of the six provinces was administered by a

THE PHUIFPINE ISLANDS.
There are few portiODS of the globe con-
cerning which less Is accurately known
than that dlTlsion which is embraced
within what is commonly called the Philip-
pine archipelago. The Spanish occu-
pants of the territory have been op-
posed to the development of the islands,
jind have imposed taxes so onerous on all
branches of industry that explorations to
Mcertain what the Islands really contained
or were capable of producing have been
limited to incursions prompted more by
curiosity than for any practical object.
An English resident has this summer pub-
lished a pamphlet on the gold productions
of the Philippines, in which he says:
"Not five books in the English language are
worth considering about them [these Is-
lands]. Crawford^s history of the Indian
archipelago, published early in this cen-
tury, is still the student's textbook.
Whatever has been published since then,

wben it rises above tbe level of a mere
traveler's tale, is eitber not comprebensire
or not reliable."
Tbe arcbipelago lies between 4.40 and 20
nortb iHitltude and 116.40 and 126.30 east
longitude. So little is known about tbe
region tbat writers do not agree as to tbe
number of islands tbat make up tbe arcbi-
peiago. A recent writer says: '"I'be num-
ber of islands wbicb form tbe Fbilippine
arcbipelago will astonisb many readers. It
is said to approach 2,000. Tbere are among
tbem two tbat are larger tban Ireiand—
namely, Luzon, witb 42,u00, and Mindanao,
wltb §8,000 square miles. Tbcre are otber
islands witb 6,600, 5,000. 4,500, 4,000, 3.500
and 3,000 square miles. ^' Of tbe wbole
number some 600 are babitable. Wbiie
tbere is mucb uncertainty regarding tbe
area of tbe Pbilippines tbcre is as little
known as to tbe number of inbabltauts tbat
dwell upon tbem. Mr. Josepb T. Mannix,
an educated native of Luzon, in an article
published in June, 1898, says: "There are in
the Fbllippines between 6,000,000 and 9,000,-
000 people— probably about 7,500,000. Nearly
half of this number inhabit Luzon, tbe
principal island of tbe group." Of these
pe says: "The Tagals of Luzon are a cop-
per-colored people, and, like all people of
the Malay family, are short of stature.
These Tagals are the most advanced and
iubuential element of tbe entire population
of the islands. There are a great many
very intelligent and ambitious men among
tbem — men who got their start in the
schools established by tbe monastic friars,
whose political domination furnishes one of
tbe many grievances which have given rise
to tbe present rebellion." Tbe Tagals
number about 2,000,000, and they are rapidly
increasing. Next to the Tagals In point of
intelligence come the Vicols, or Bicols,
who occupy the Gamarines peninsula, with
the islands of Catanduanes, Burias, Tlcao
and half of Masbate. They greatly resem-
ble the Tagals, and, like them, have made
considerable progress in civilization. They
number at least 400,000. Tbe third division
of tbe people are the Visayas, or Bisayas,
who occupy the islands between Luzon and
Mindanao, and are estimated at 2,500,000.
Besides these are the Moors of the Sulu
archipelago, the Negritos and some otber
families of tbe Malay race. On the wbole,
the Philippine natives find and take life
easily. Tbeir requirements are few. Tbe
sum of £6 will provide a native household
witb a dwelling of its own and ample fur-
niture. Under a genial climate, on a soil
lavishly grateful for the slightest tending,
by waters teeming witb fish, they know
naught of hunger and have mucb time left
for amusements — such as dancing and pub-
lic rejoicings on tbe smallest occasion,
music, for which thev have a natural
talent, so that there is scarcely a com-
mune without a fairly trained brass band—
and gambling! Oockfighting is tbe national
sport and no mean soarce of revenue to tbe
authorities. Almost every native owns a
fighting fowl, which Is as dear to him as
her lap dog is to a European lady. He car-
ries it about witb him and bets bis bottom
dollar on its performance In the arena.
Thus the native is an Intermittent rather
than a steady worker, and his delight in
feasts and holy days, and bis content,
which passes bim off as rich In his own
mind with $10 in his purse, make his as a
laborer, docile as be Is and willing to
please, a source of frequent annoyance to
bis employers.
Tbe Philippine islands were discovered by
Magellan, who landed at tbe island of
Cebu (or Zebu), where be anchored in
March, 1521, and lost bis life in a skirmish
witb tbe natives. In 1565 the Islands were
taken possession of by a fleet from Mexico,
which first stopped at Cebu and subdued it.
In 1570 a settlement was effected at tbe
mouth of tbe Manila river, which place be-
came tbe capital of tbe Spanish possessions
in tbe Philippines and has remained so to
the present time. At tbe time of the ar-
rival of the Spaniards at Manila tbere were
two fortified villages, one on either side or
the Pasig river, and these they took on tbe
9tb of May, 1571, tbe chiefs making their
submission to their conquerors, and their
example was followed ny many of tbe
tribes of Luzon. Previous to this tbe
island had been practically under tbe do-
minion of tbe Chinese, who bad shaken off
tbe authority of that empire, but these
people still continued to control the trade
of tbe island after the Spanish capture.
A little later a Chinese pirate, Li Ma
Hong, attempted to drive out tbe Span-
iards, but failed in tbe attempt wltb the
loss of bis fleet and bis own life. In 1606
the Dutch attempted to take the Islands,
but their ships were destroyed and tbe en-
terprise failed. In 1762 Manila^ was cap-
tured by tbe British, and would probably
have remained a° possession of tbat country
bad not political conditions in Kurope
forced England to evacuate tbe city after
Spain had promised a ransom of $5,000,000,
wbicb has not been paid to this day.
Rebellions have been frequent in which
the people have attempted to rid them-
selves of Spanish rule. Those of 1822, 1841.
1842, 1872, 1896 and 1897 have been tbe most
Important. The revolts have all had a
common cause — tbe tyranny and exactions
of tbe Spanish ofllcials. Although tbe
Spaniards made tbeir appearance forty-four
years after tbe death of Magellan tbe con-
quest of the archipelago is still far from
complete. By an abuse of language tbe
Pbilippines are mentioned as a Spanish
colony, but they form in reality only a
military possession, in which tbe whites
are mainly officials, who control tbe na-
tives, but they have founded few perma-
nent settlements In tbe country. Except at
Manila there are few towns or villages
that are Spanish in fact. To extort money
from the people, under the various forms
of taxation that cunning and rapacity have
devised, is, and for many years has been,
tbe sole purpose of Spain and tbe business
and object of tbe governmental officials
tbat have been maintained tbere.
Upon this subject a recent writer has
said: "It is no natural or physical disad-
vantage that accounts for tbe waste and
neglect of the rich resources of tbe Philip-
)lnes. These richly endowed islands have
)een kept In their primitive darkness and
barbarism by tbe power that should have
lifted them into the light of civilization
and set tbem in the flowing stream of
modern life. Her treatment of them is but
one count In the long and terrible indict-
ment that history brings against Spain for
tbe opportunities she has neglected and
the trusts she has betrayed. She has re-
garded her subject peoples in no otber light
than as sources of revenue for her goT^m-
ment and her officials, and for that crlm-

inal error, with all its cruel conseqaences,
she Is paying the penalty to-day. In the
PhUlpplnes the representative of Spanish
mle Das been the tax collector. The sys-
tem that mined the Roman empire was re-
vived there, a gobernadocillo being ap-
pointed for each district and held person-
ally responsible for the taxes. If the re-
ceipts fell below the estimate he had to
make np the deficiency; if they exceeded it
he pocketed the surplus— the result being
that the last peseta was relentlessly wrung
tjtom the luckless inhabitants. There were
poll taxes, taxes on every form of property,
taxes on all mercantile transactions, taxes
on every kind of amusement. There were
taxes on marriages and taxes on funerals.
In some provinces the native must carry
his tax receipts with him: if found without
them he Is liable to arrest and punishment.
For non-payment— after confiscation of prop-
erty—were whipping and imprisonment."
For failure to pay taxes men and women
alike are subjected to such brutalities as
the collector can devise, and from his
Judgments there is no appeal.
The Philippine Islands are under the su-
preme charge of a governor-general, who
resides in Manila, a town of considerably
more than 800,000 inhabitants, i^mong them
a goodlv number of British men of busi-
oess, whose well-appointed club is the cen-
ter of foreign and social Intercourse. In
Madrid the interests of the colony are spe-
cially intrusted to a council of state for
the Philippines, which acts as an advisory
body to the minister of the colonies. There
is also a council of state in Manila, which
has a voice in questions affecting the mate-
rial progress of the Islands, which are di-
Tided into provinces, each under Its gov-
ernor. The provinces are subdivided Into
districts, and these again Into communes or
parishes. The gobernadocillo (little gov-
ernor) stands on the lowest rung of the
official ladder, being the elected head of a
commune, and wearing as the symbol of
office a stiff, mushroom-shaped hat, re-
splendent with solid ornaments of sliver
bullion. In these communes or parishes
the cure (priest), especially If he be a
Spaniard, as is generally the case In the
more Important parishes, exercises supreme
Eower. He is the father and counselor of
is people, and helps them not only with
spiritual advice but also furthers their
material interests. Many of these Spanish
curas have done much good work in the
way of making roads and bridges and the
building of churches, acting frequently as
their own engineers and architects, with
far less unsightly results than one might
expect from persons who are supposed to be
more conversant with breviary and rosary
than with rule and compasses.
The Spanish priests, friars of strict
orders, coqie to the islands for aye and
food, and, with scarcely any exception, do
their duties faithfully and devotedly.
Priests of native extraction do not quite
come up to the high standard of their
Spanish confratres. They cannot all live
up to the severity of monastic rules. These
native curas, moreover, suffer under the
proverbial disadvantage which affects the
prophet in his own country, and, lacking
the strength of mind and tenacity of vow
of the Spanish priests, sometimes seek con-
solation In diversions of not quite a clerical
or monastic character.
The climate of the Philippines is not
such as will repel either Americans or
Europeans. Upon this subjeet Col. W.
Winthrop of the United States army says:
"There are two seasons at Manila, the wet
and the dry, or the seasons of the south-
west and northeast monsoons. Broadly
speaking, the wet or rainy season, U8here<}
in by the southwest monsoon, is from June
to November; the dry season, when the
northeast monsoon prevails, is from Novem-
ber to- June. The divisions are not, how-
ever, exact or invariable. Thus, in January
and February north winds are not infre-
quent, and in March and April winds from
the southeast sometimes prevail. In the
beginning of October the winds vary be-
tween southeast and southwest, settling
down to northeast by the close of the
month. In the wet seasons the country Is
inundated, the roads become impassable
and bridges disappear. The annual rainfall
at Manila is variously reported as from
seventy-five to ninety-one Inches.
*'The hottest months are April and May;
the droughts are then long and acci-
dental fires are to be guarded against; it
is then that mosquitoes and white ants are
most troublesome. The coolest months are
December to February, when the freshness
is grateful at night. The average tempera-
ture for the year is about 80 degrees. The
periods of the changes of the monsoons In
May to June and in September to October
are marked by the heaviest blows and
thunderstorms. Cyclones, typhoons and
hurricanes then visit the coast. A typhoon
on Sept. 27, 1866, drove some twenty vessels
ashore and did great damage to the city of
Manila. A typhoon or hurricane Oct. ^,
1875, killed 250 persons and destroyed 8,800
houses. The hurricanes of these times
often sweep away crops and destroy plan-
tations."
Almost everywhere In the Islands are to
be seen evidences of gigantic volcanic
forces, although the number of active vol-
canoes is small. The volcanoes, active
and extinct, are grouped in two lines, run-
ning, approximately, east and west. Eanh-
quakes are not infrequent and the buildings
are designed to resist them. The more
violent seismic disturbances appear to be
confined to certain centers, among which
the neighborhood of Manila seems to be
prominent. In a general sense the direc-
tion of the chains of mountains is north
and south, with occasional deflections to
east and west. The highest mountain in
the group is Apo, in Mindanao, with over
9,000 feet, while Halcon, in Mindoro,
reaches neariv 8,900 feet, and Majon, In
Luzon, exceeds 8,200 feet. Of the earth-
quakes Sir John Bowring, an English trav-
eler, says: "The destructive ravages
and changes produced by them are nowhere
more remarkable than in the Philippines.
They have produced great changes in the
geography of the Islands. They have over-
turned mountains, filled up valleys, deso-
lated extensive plains and opened passages
from the sea into the interior and from the
lakes into the sea." He refers to several
of the most serious earthquakes that have
been known at the Islands, and to those of
1796, 1824 and 1828 as especially "calami-
tous." The most destructive earthquake of
recent tiroes was that of June, 1863, whiOh
rendered the city of Manila a mass of
ruins, in which 400 persons were burled,
2,000 were injured and property valued at
$8,000,000 was destroyed.

The soil of the Philippines is of phenom-
eaal fertility, although its capacities have
been most imperfectly developed. It Is dif-
ficult to say what product is a staple, al-
though the Manila nemp is, perhaps, best
known in the commerce of the islands.
This is not a product of the hemp plant, but
Is the fiber of a species of the banana (musa
textilis). Where the soil is only slightly
cultivated the products are: Sugar, hemp,
tobacco, rice, coffee, cacao, gums qt vari-
ous kinds, arrowroot, indigo, cotton, pep-
per, cochineal, betelroot, areca nut, cocoa-
nuts and cocoanut oil. In the forests grow
the ebony, bamboo, logwood, rattans and
numberless other valuable hard woods and
gum-yielding trees and plants. The Hon.
John Barrett, late United iStates minister to
Slam, who is thoroughly acquainted with
the resources of the Philippines, says that
"a richer isolated land or group of islands,
viewed comparatively as to area and popu-
lation, variety of agriculture, mineral and
forest resources undeveloped, in addition to
those already improved, cannot be pointed
out on the map of the world."
That the Philippines are fabulously rich
in deposits of gold is not to be questioned.
Books are extant that mention gold as the
chief product of Luton in the third cen-
tury A. D., and there is no doubt that
mining of the precious metal was exten-
sively- practiced in the Islands long before
the advent of the Spaniards. In a pam-
phlet written the present year by Mr.
Frank Karuth, F. R. G. S., entitled "A
New Center of Gold Production," the au-
thor says: '^he question is often asked,
'How is It that so little .is known of Phil-
ippine gold?' The answer Is simple. There
is no official control of the output or tax on
it. The miners live in Isolated districts
and villages, with rare communication be-
tween them. And the universal man of
business is the omnipresent Chinaman, now
storekeeper, with a fixed abode, now per-
ambulating peddler, who penetrates the
most distant settlements, buys the gold
with his wares and sends it out of the
country, over to Hongkong or Amoy, or
elsewhere. It is not his business to swag-
Ser over the volume of his trade; in fact,
e keeps it dark. Those who know are
aware that the gold export is considerable
and very much exceeds the official compu-
tation, whatever that may be. 'Paracale'
gold is well known, in Manila, but few Ma-
nilese know where Paracale Is, and still
less have ever visited the place. Yet it is
a prosperous village, with a good deal of
trade and a large native mining population.
* • • The Paracale gold dust is melted
Into tiny ingots, a small bivalve serving as
a mold, so that the gold shows the shape
of the shell. These tiny ingots are tested
by the Chinese purchaser, the traces of
whose probing auger are always In evidence
on the Ingots. Gold is found in many other
islands of the group. Senor Abella found
traces of alluvial workings In Cebu. Mln-
doro, which Is but little known, is said to
be rich In gold. Panaon, a small island
north of Mindanao, has at least one well-
defined vein of auriferous quartz, while
Mindanao Itself is the center of a consider-
able trade In alluvial gold. From speci-
mens brought from that island the occur-
rence of rich quarts veins cannot be a mat-
ter of mere conjecture."
Copper is found in many parts of the
Philippines, and cupreous pyrites is not
infrequ^ntly met with accompanying quarts
veins, but in such small quantities aa to
exclude all commercial value. In the
central mountain ranges of Luzon, how-
ever, between Cagayan and Ilocos, consid-
erable deposits of copper ore are distrib-
uted and had been worked by a tribe of
natives, called Igorrotes, long before ttie
advent of the Spaniards. They ob-
tain the ore in excavations which they
make with the aid of wood fires, thus
softening the rocks. They separate the ore
according to quality and roast the poorer
repeatedly before smelting it. Their fur-
nace is a cylindrical hole, walled with
clay, about twelve Inches deep and eight
inches in diameter, and they use blowers of
bamboo worked with plungers to producs
the requisite draft.
The coal which up to present times has
been found in the Philippine islands is
not true coal, but lignite, probably of the
tertiary period, and of a variety which can
scarcely be distinguished by the eve from
true coal. There is no reason why true
coal should not eventually be found, for it
is found and worked in Japan, whose geo-
logical formation has much In common
with that of the Philippines. There has
been no systematic search made in these
islands for coal, and wherever it has been
found it has betrayed its presence by out-
crops. Thus, in the island of Masbate, a
local steamship owner drew his supplies
from a bed of coal which Is so tilted as
to have the appearance of a vein. He sup-
plied himself as long as his native laborers
COUI4 get the coal with crowbars. An ex-
pert, who examined this bed cursorily, esti-
mated the available quantity of coal at
about 600,000 tons in that particular con-
cession. He is, however, of opinion that
very much larger quantities are available
in adjoining concessions. These mines are
practically untouched, and as they are sit-
uated within a few miles of the coast they
can be worked at a profit by whosoever
should venture to introduce the necessary
capital.
The only coal deposits which hare been
to a certain extent developed in the Philip-
pine archipelago, and of which a scientiflc
and reliable record exists in the shape of a
report by the chief inspector of mines,
Senor Enrique Abella y Casariego, are
those in the Island of Cebu. This report Is
embodied in a work entitled "Raplda De-
scrlpcion Flscica, Geologica y Minera de la
Isla de Cebu (Archipelago Filipino)."
The coal deposits of Cebu were first ex-
amined in 1866 by the government mining
engineer, Senor Hernandez, wlio, witliont
hesitation, described the coal as "llgnita"
(lignite). A few years later, however, an-
other government engineer, Senor Centeno.
declared the formation in which coal oc-
curs to belong to the true carboniferous
system, and proclaimed the discovery of a
true coal field of large dimensions, the
eastern rim of which cropped out in the
island of Cebu, while its western rim
came to the surface in the island of Negros.
Analysis proved Senor Centeno to be in the
wrong, for the contents— or carbon— of the
coal of Cebu do not exceed 64 per cent,
against the minimum of 76 per cent, which
true coal contains.
The situation of affairs at the Philippines
at the present time makes it necessary to
take some notice of the rebellion that broke
out against the Spanish rule in Augmt,
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

1896. Id 1872 there was an uprising of the
people, the exciting cause of which was the
oppresslre taxes, excises, license fees and
other burdens Imposed upon the people by
the «>Temment. Not onfy did the natives
complain of these extortions, but objected
t6 tne corvee, or forced exactions of forty
days^ labor, which every man was com-
pelled to furnish annually to the govern-
ment. In addition to these complaints the
natives were still further exasperated by
the usurious loans to which they were
obliged to submit, in case they had to raise
money, and by the confiscation of their
property in case these loans were not paid
at maturity. This power of confiscation
was lodged in the hands of certain officials,
who used it for the purpose of making still
greater exactions. To resist these aggres-
sions a secret revolutionary society was
formed, the membership of which in Au-
gust. 189^ was more than 60,000. The basis
of this league was freemasonry, which had
been introduced into the islands by the
Spanish many years before. The army of
the rebels was Increased by deserters from
tbs native troops in the Spanish forces, by
vagabonds, criminals and a large number of
people wno had lost all their property
Uunmiffh confiscation upon various pretexts.
The war that was waged between the Span-
lards and the rebels was exceedingly bitter,
neither side giving any quarter to the other.
It was not war, but savage butchery, in
which prisoners captured or who surren-
dered were smothered in dungeons, burned
alive, disemboweled and put to death in
other barbarous ways without regard to the
usages of civil ised warfare. The revolu-
tionary forces were too strong and too well
officerjed and armed for the Spanish army to
subdne, and in December, 1897, Gen. Primo
de Rivera proposed to Gen Emilio Agul-
naldo y Femi, tne supreme head of the revo-
lutionary movement, a cessation of hostili-
ties between the Insurgents and the Spanish
forces. A council of tne revolutionary gov-
ernment was held Dec. 14, 1897, in which
twenty-four Insurgent chiefs agreed to lay
down their arms on condition that certain
reforms were introduced by Spain in the ad-
ministration of affairs. The insurgents de-
manded (1) that the Filipinos should have
representation In the Spanish national par-
liament, (2) reforms in the land and tax
S stems of the islands, (3) curtailment of
e civil powers of the iriars and (4) the
recall of many of the Spanish officials in
the Islands with a view to a more honest,
economical and efficient government. Gen.
Primo de Rivera agreed to these reforms in
substance and aiade its condition that the
principal rebel leaders must leave the coun-
try diuing his majesty*s pleasure. As these
leaders had lost all of their property or had
it c(«flscated and plundered, the government
agreed to provide them with funds to live
In a beconung manner on foreign soil.
The rebels laid dovm their arms and peace
was apparently secured. But no sooner had
they done so and returned to their houses
or retired from the country than the in-
translgeant religious orders commenced at
once to again prosecute them and trump up
imaginary charges to procure their rearrest.
The Spanish government, on its side, imag-
ining Itself secure, desisted from carrying
onttbe promised reforms, thinking another
trick like that played on the Cubans, after
the peace arrangement by Martinez Cam-
pos* my^t succeed. The Filipinos, how-
ever, mused to be made dupes and took up
arms again, not alone in the immediate dis-
tricts around Manila, but throughout the
archipelago, and early in March, 1898, the
revolt was as formidable in the province of
Manila as ever, the rebels having captured
several Important towns connected by rail
with the capital, while the inhabitants re-
fused to pay their taxes or acknowledge
Spanish authority. Such was the condition
of affairs in the Philippines at the date of
the opening of the war betweeen the United
States and Spain.
COMMERCE WITH THE PHILIPPINES.
The following table shows the commerce
of the Islands, the years named being the
latest attainable:
_ ^ Imports from Exports to

The average value of the trade of the
Philippines is greater than indicated in the
above table, having suffered in the last few
years on account of political conditions.
This is shown by the fact that in 1893 tho
imports of Great Britain from the islands
were to the value of fl0,607,000. and the ex-
ports nearly $1,500,000 more than the ship-
ments in 1897. France imports three timos
as much as she did in 1893. but her export!
have diminished in an* even larger propop
tion, from over $2,000,000 to $350,000. China
imports more than twice as much, but ex-
ports considerably less than in 1893. India
Imports less, but her exports have risen
from $67,000 to $80,000. The Straits Set-
tlements have lost over $100,000 in imports
and some $140,000 In exports. The trade
with New South Wales has grown, but that
with Victoria has greatly diminished, and
United States commerce, which was $9,314,-
235 in 1893, has fallen to $4,478,337 in 1897.

THE MARIANA OB LADBONB ISLANDS.
THE KABIAKA OB LASBONE ISLANDS.
189
The Mariana archipelago is a chain of islands In the
Pacific stretching north and south a winding distance of
about 600 miles and embraces some seventeen Islands, hav-
ing an area of about 500 square miles. They were the first
group discovered by Magellan In 1521, while making his
voyage around the globe, about ten days after he had
reached the Island of Gebn, one of the Philippines. Some
years later, when the Spaniards had assumed sovereignty
over the Philippines, they established a regular service for
their vessels across the Pacific to the Island of Guam, one
of the Mariana group, which became a regular station for
vessels sailing between Manila and the Mexican coast.
The native Inhabitants of the Marianas soon disappeared
under the dominion of Spain and the group was repeopled
by Immigrants from the Philippines, who brought with
them a new language, plants and customs.
The name of "Ladrones" was given to the Islands by
Magellan because. It is said, of the character of their in-
habitants, the word meaning ''robbers,'^ but history de-
clares such a designation to nave been entirely unjust to
the aborigines of the group. Later they were renamed
Mariana In honor of Mariana of Austria, the wife of Philip
IV., king of Spain. A distance of about 1,200 miles sep-
arates the most southwesterly island of the Mariana group
from the nearest of the Philippines and the entire inter-
vening distance is wholly free from reefs or other obstruc-
tions to navigation, except a few rocks on the northern
extremity toward Japan and the Pelew Islands on the
south. Geologically the group has no connection with the
Philippines, but belongs to the same formation as the
Aleutian islands that project west from the coast of
Alaska.
The principal Island of the group is Guam or Guahn,
which comprises nearly one-half of the entire area of
the archipelago. From a commercial point of view the
Mariana group of Islands is of little valtfe, as the trade is
wholly insignificant. The products are such only as are
required by the inhabitants of the tropics, and even these
are not sufficiently abundant to induce trade and com-
merce. The natives grow sugar cane, rice, com and
melons. Cocoanuts, pineapples, bananas, limes, lemons,
oranges and the breadfruit grow wild in greatest profu-
sion. It rains nearly all the time — half a dozen squalls of
from ten to thirty minutes every day— but no one minds
that. It keeps the temperature down and makes every-
thing grow. It is a fine coffee cnuntiy, but there is almost
no attention paid to the industry. The prlnc pal product
is copra. "When the islands were discovered they were
fonnd to have a considerable population, which resembled
the Malays of the Philippines in language but In no other
particnlar. In physical appearance they resembled the
Indonesian and Papuan race and were divided into two
classes, one composing the nobility and the other the com-
mon people, between which marriage, by their own laws
and customs, was not permitted. As soon as the Span-
iards a<^qulred possession of the islands all the Inhabitants
were reduced to a common state of servitude. This was
not brought about without a long and serious struggle, for
the natives held out valiantly against their oppressors and
resistance did not cease until 60,000, or more than one-half,
of the native population had fallen in the conflict or had
escaped to the Caroline islands, while more than oife-third
of tne 180 villages had been destroyed, in 1760 the popu-
lation of the group had been reduced to 1,600 inhabitants,
and to supply the deficiency occasioned by the long strug-
gle Tagul colonists were brought from the Philippines, but
these compulsory immigrants perished from epidemics and
the severity of the demands made upon them by the new
masters of the islands. In 1875 the native population
had become reduced to about 600 souls.
The entire population of the group Is concentrated on
the island of Guam, except a few colonies of fishermen.
The island of Tinian has only a single village and a com-
munity of lepers, while Beta and Sayan have only a few
hundred inhabitants each. Not only have the people fallen
off in numbers but in capacity as well. While they have
learned all the vices of the few Spaniards and Malays
who have supplanted the larger portion of the aborig-
ines, they have forgotten the virtues and the industries
ttat thefr forefathers practiced. Agriculture has been

practically abandoned, modem pottery^ has
taken tbe place of that made oy the na-
tives. Imported cloths have destroyed tbe
manufacture of the coarser domestic fab-
rics, bouses that the natires nsed to build
and inhabit have disappeared and the
rudest huts have taken toeir places, and
many of the arts practiced by the people
have been wholly lost under the blighting
rule of the Spaniards.
The government of the archipelago has, of
necessity, been military in its character,
the garrison at the capital, Agana, on the
Island of Guam, being composed of some
sixty Spanish and 300 native recruits drawn
from the population by conscription, under
a captain-general appointed by the Spanish
cabinet. The garrison has been usually
supported by a small and inefficient gun-
boat, which has been necessary to restrain
the people as well as the native troops.
The importance of the Mariana arcliipel-
ago to the United States depends entirely
upon the part it is to play in the peace con-
ference at Paris. When Capt. Glass, in
command of the Charleston, left Honolulu
he was given sealed orders which were not
to be opened until he was out of sight of
land. He was destined to Manila to re-en-
force Admiral Dewey and convoy a fleet
carrying troops to Gen. Merritt. These or-
ders directed him to stop at Guam, capture
the governor and all the Spanish omcials
and soldiers and destroy the fortifications
at Agana, the capital, or In the bay of San
Luis d'Apra, upon which the town is situ-
ated. Early on the morning of June 20 land
was sighted, the Charleston cleared for ac-
tion and sailed Into the bay. Entering the
harbor, Capt. Glass directed his course to
Fort Santa Cruz, upon which he opened fire
at a range of 3.000 yards with his three-
pounders. Thirteen shells were fired with-
out eliciting any response. At length Lieut.
Garcia Gutierrez of the Spanish navy and
Dr. Romero of the army rowed out to the
vessel to see if the men on the Charleston
were in good health and to give the promise
to Capt. Glass that they would return his
salute junt as soon as they could borrow
some powder for the two old guns that were
in the fort. The following account of the
surrender Is by Oscar King Davis and was
published in Harper's Weekly, the official
report of Capt. Glass not having been made
public:
Gutierrez and Romero were thunderstruck
at being informed of tbe real situation, and
when told that Manila was in Dewey's
hands, practically, the Spanish fleet de-
stroyed, and that they were prisoners of
war, they were most unhappy. Francis
Portusac, a native of Guam and an Agana
merchant, who was naturalized in Chicago
in 1888, was with the officials to act as in-
terpreter, but Capt. Glass used him more
as a bureau of Information about the island.
Finally the captain paroled tbe Spaniards
for the day and sent them awav in. their
t>oats with a verbal message to the govern-
or, Lleut.-Col. Don Jose Marina y Vega, to
hurry up and pay his official call. That
evening Gov. Marina sent Capt. Glass a
message to the effect that the military
regulations of Spain forbade him to set
foot on a foreign vessel, but he would be
? leased to see the captain at his office in
he morning. Capt. Glass replied that he
would see tne governor himself, or send an
officer to represent him.
The next morning Lieut. William Braun- I
ersreuther, the navigator of the Charleston-,
with Ensign Waldo Evans and five men,
went ashcMre. Lieut. Braunersreuther car-
ried a formal note to the governor from
Capt. Glass, which gave him thirty minutes
In which to surrender unconditionally. The
?:uns of the Charleston were ready to en-
orce the demands. Lieut. Braunersreuther
met the governor at the landing place at
the native village of PIti. With the gov-
ernor were Capt. Duarte of the Spanish
army, his secretary, the port captain, Lieut.
Gutierrez and Dr. Romero. In presenting
tbe note from Capt. Glass Lieut. Brauners-
reuther said, in Spanish:
"I have the honor to present a communi-
cation from my commandant. I am author-
ized to wait one-half hour for your reply.
In presenting this communication I call
your attention to the fact that we have, as
you see, three large ships in the harbor,
and a fourth [the Sydney had remained
outside] outside ready to come in. One of
these ships is a modem war vessel of high
power, with large guns. The others are
transports full of soldiers. We have a
large force here. I call your attention to
these facts in order that you may not make
any hasty or ill-considered reply to the
note of my commandant.'*
Gov. Marina bowed and thanked Lieut.
Braunersreuther, took the note and retired
with his staff into his office. From its win-
dow, if he chanced to look out, he could see
the steam launch of the Charleston towing
a string of boats full of men up toward the
landing place. In the boats were Lieut.
Myers, U. S. M. C, of the Charleston, with
forty marines from the ship, and part of
company A, 2d Oregon, Capt. H. L. Heath,
from the Australia. This was the first de-
tachment of the landing force Gen. Ander-
son and Capt. Glass bad agreed on the
night before. The rest of company A and
company D, Capt A. T. Prescott, were
waiting on the Australia for the launch to
return and tow them to land. To their
intense disgust, not a man of them set foot
on land. The first detachment tied up to
the Japanese brigantine while the launch
went back for the rest, and before it came
back the work had all been done.
For twenty-nine minutes Lieut. Brauners-
reuther waited, watch in hand, for the
reply. Then Gov. Marina came out of his
office with a sealed letter addressed to
Capt. Glass. "It Is for your commandant,"
he said, as Lieut. Braunersreuther broke it
open. "I represent my commandant here,"
was the reply. Gov. Marina had written:
"Sir: In the absence of anv notification
from my government concerning the rela-
tions of war between the United States and
Spain, and without any means of defense,
or tbe possibility of defense in the face of
such a large opposing force, I feel com-
pelled, in the Interests of humanity and to
save life, to make a complete surrender of
all under my jurisdiction. Trusting to your
mercy and Justice, I have the honor to be,"
etc., etc.
So Guam was surrendered, with all the
Mariana Islands. The unhappy governor had
no notice that the force which had threat-
ened him was intended really for Manila,
and thought that it had been sent out solely
against the Mariana group. He had but
fifty-four Spanish regulars and a company
of Chamorros, and was, as he said, quite
without means of making a defense. Llent.

THE EAWAIIAH XSLANSB.
The republic of Hawaii, the udIoh of
which to the United States was completed
on the 12th of August. 1898, consists of
eight Islands In the Pacific ocean, between
longitude 164.40 and 160.30 west from Green-
wich and latitude 22.16 and 18.56 north.
They were discovered by Capt. Cook In 1778,
and on Hawaii he was killed by the natives
Feb. 14, 1779. They are located on the
edge of the tropics, but their position in
mid-ocean and the prevalence of the north-
east trade winds gives them a climate of
perpetual summer without enervating heat.
The group occupies a central position in
the Nortn Pacific, 2,089 nautical miles
southwest of San Francisco, 4,640 from
Panama, 3,800 from Auckland (New Zea-
land), 4,960 from Hongkong, 3,440 from
Yokohama and 4,350 from Manila. It will
thus be seen that Hawaii lies about one-
third of the distance on the accustomed
routes from San Francisco to Japan and
Chinese ports, from San Francisco to Aus-
tralia, from the Pacific ports of British
Columbia to Australia and British India
and about half way from the Isthmus of
Panama to Yokohama and Hongkong. A gov-
ernment publication has the following to
say as to the importance of Hawaii as a
naval station: "From a naval standpoint
Hawaii is the great strategic base of the
Pacific. • Under the present conditions of
naval warfare, created by the use of steam
as a motive power. Hawaii would secure to
the maritime nation possessing it an im-
mense advantage as a depot for the supply
of coal. Modem battleships, depending
absolutely upon coal, would be enabled to
avail themselves of their full capacity of
speed and energy only by having some half-
way station in the Pacific where they could
replenish their stores of fuel and refit. A
battleship or cruiser starting from an
Asiatic or Australian port, with the view
of operating along the coast of either
North America or South America, would be
unable to act effectively for any length of
time at the end of so long a voyage unless
she were able to refill her bunkers at some
point on the way. On the other hand, the
United States, possessing Hawaii, will be
able to advance its line of defense 2,000
miles from the Pacific coast, and, with a
fortified harbor and a strong fieet at Hono-
lulu, will be in a position to conduct either
defensive or offensive operations In the
North Pacific to greater advantage than any
other power.**
There are eight principal islands in the
group, the others being mere rocks of no
? resent value. They are named, beginning
rom the northwest:

Nlihau 9T
Kauai 690
Oahu 600
Molokal 270
Maul 760
lanai 150
Kahoolawe 63
Hawaii 4,210
Total 6,740
By comparison it will be seen that the
area of the Islands Is only a little less than
that of the state of New Jersey, while it is
more than three timet that of the state ot
Delaware.
The islands that present the most attrac-
tions are Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai,
as it is on these that cofCee. fruits, pota-
toes, com and vegetables of various kinds
are produced in tne most luxuriant profu-
sion and where land can be obtained oo
reasonable terms. Hawaii is the largest o£
the group and presents the greatest variety
of soil and climate. The island is dividea
into elffht districts. Thofie on the windward
side— North Kohala, Hamakua, Hiio and
Puna— are Kell watered by plentiful rains,
while on the lee side South Kohala, North
Kona, South Kona and Kau are rarely witii-
out necessary water supply. The Kona dis-
trict is noted for both its coffee and sugar.
The coffee industry is carried on by sev-
eral hundred proprietors, whose plantations
embrace an acreage ample for 200,000 trees
down to those who work an acre or more.
A government report says of this islaDQ
that there are ^'thousands of acres at
present uncultivated and only awaiting the
enterprise of the temperate xone to develop
them."
Maui Is one of the most productive islands
in the group and produces sugar and coffee,
the cultivation -of which is largely confined
to the eastern portion, which has been only
recently devoted to those products. On the
island is a large mountain. Haleakala, the
western slope of which is covered with
farms where the smaller grains are raised,
with some swine. On this island thoa-
sonds of acres are lying fallow.
No one of the group offers better advan-
tages than Oahu. Very many acres of land
in the fertile vallevs are yet wholly unde-
veloped, the inhabitants being devoted to
the cultivation of sugar on tne larger is-
lands. On this is situated the capital of
the country. A line of railroad has been
built extending west from Honolulu a dis-
tance of about thirty miles, and it is pro-
posed to continue it entirely around the
island. The road runs throu^ a very rich
coffee-producing region and affords good fa-
cilities for transporting the product to the
capital, which is the chief port of entry In
the group.
Kauai is popularly known as "the garden
island" from the luxuriance of its vegeta-
tion. The ohief products are sugar and
rice. Little coffee Is being grown, its in-
troduction being but recently made. There
are larger areas of rich unoccupied lands
on the island of Kauai.
On Oahu is Honolulu, the capital of the
whilom republic. It is a city of 80,000
inhabitants and is one of the most advanced
capitals on the globe. It is lighted with
electric lights and has an extensive tele-
phone system and street cars. Any variety
of goods that can be bought in any southern
city in the world can be purchased at its
stores, while the public buildings are ornate
and commodious. It is abundantly supplied
with churches and the best of schools, a
large public library, a Young Men's Chris-
tian association hall, a Masonic temple, an
Odd-Fellows' hall and all other appliances
of an advanced civilisation, not to mention
four daily and two weekly English papers,
besides others printed in the Hawaiian,
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese lan-
guages. Among the native Hawaiians the
lU

Krcentage of illiteracy \b rery small, it
Ting been officially declared not to be
greater than it is in the state of Massachu-
■etts.
The Hawaiian Islands are of volcanic
formation, and there are two active vol-
canoes on Hawaii— Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
The altitude of Manna Kea, the highest
point on Hawaii, is 13,805 feet. The moun-
tains on other Islands range from 4,000 to
5,000 feet. The topography is broken and
diversified, with many valleys and streams.
The mountain sides abound in forests, con-
taining an abundance of ship timber and
many ornamental woods. Among the min-
erals that have been noticed are sulphur,
pyrites, common salt, sal ammoniac, limo«
nlte, quarts, augite, chrysolite, garnet,
labradorite, feldspar, gypsum, soda, alum,
copperas, glauber salts, niter and calcite.
*'In the Hawaiian islands," says a pam-
f^hlet of the Hawaiian government, '*Amer-
cans and Europeans can and do work in the
open air at all seasons of the year, as
thev cannot in countries lying in the same
latitude elsewhere. To note an instance:
Calcutta lies a little to the north of the
latitude of Kauai, our most northerly island
and in Calcutta the American and European
can Y>nly work with his brain; hard physical
labor he cannot do and live. On the Ha-
waiian islands he can work and thrive."
The rainfall varies, being greater on the
windward side of the Islands, and increas-
ing up to a certain elevation. Thus, at
Olaa, on the Island of Hawaii, windward
side and elevation of about 2,000 feet, the
rainfall from July 1, 1894, to June 30, 1895,
,was 176.82 inches, while at Kailua, on the
leeward side, at a low level, it was only
51.21 inches during the same period.
The temperature also varies according to
elevation and position. On the island of
Hawaii one 'can get any climate from the
heat of summer to actual winter at the
summits of the two great mountains. A
tneteorological record, kept carefully for a
period of twelve years, gives 89 degrees aa
the highest and 64 degrees as the lowest
temperature recorded, or a mean tempera-
ture of 71.6 degrees for the year. A case of
sunstroke has never b^en known. People
take no special precautions against the sun,
wearing straw and soft felt hats similar to
those worn in the United States during the
summer months.
The prevailing winds are the northeast
trades. These blow for about nine months
of the year. The remainder of the period
the winds are variable and chiefly from th«>
south. Th6 Islands are outside the cyelon*
belt, and severe storms accompanied by
thunder and lightning are of rare occur-
rence.
The islands possess a healthful climate.
There are no virulent fevers such as are en-
countered on the coast of Africa or in the
West India islands. Epidemics seldom visit
the islands, and when they do they are gen-
erally light. A careful system of quaran-
tine guards them now from epidemics from
abroad.
The pamphlet entitled "The Republic of
Hawaii," issued by the department of for-
eign affairs of the islands in 1896, gives a
full account of the agricultural resources of
the country, with interesting details as to
the coffee industry, from which the follow-
ing matter is extracted: The mainstay of
the islands, it says, has for the last thirty-
five years been the sugar Industry. From
this source m large amount of wealth has
been accomulated. Bat the sugar Industry
requires large capital for expensive ma-
chinery and oas never proved remuneratlTe
to small investors. An attempt has been
made at profit-sharing, and has met with
some success, the small farmer cultivatins
and the capitalist grinding at a centru
mill. Of late years, moreover, the small
farmer has been steadily developing in the
Hawaiian islands, and attention has been
given to other products than sugar.
Rice neither Europeans nor Americans
can cultivate* as laborers. It requires
working in marshy land, and, though on thu
islands it yields two crop» a year, none buc
the Chinaman can raise It successfully, a
dry-land or mountain rice has been utro-
duced.
The main staple, after sugar and rice, is
coffee. Of this, hundreds of thousands of
trees have been planted out within the last
five vears. This is essentially the crop of
the future, and bids fair to become as im-
portant a staple as sugar. Coffee does not
require the amount of capital that sugar
does and it can be worked remuneratively
upon a small area. It is estimated that at
the end of the fourth year the return from a
seventy-five-acre coffee plantation will much
more than pay the running expenses, while
from that time on a return of from |8,000
to $10,000 per annum may be realised.
Fruits can also be cultivated to advan-
tage. At present the banana trade of the
islands amounts to over 100,000 bunches pet
annum, valued at over $100,000, and th«
quantity might very easily be quadrupled
The banana industry may be regarded as in
its infancy. The export of the fruit is only
from the Island of Oahu, but there are
thousands of acres on the other islands of
the group which could be profitably used for
this cultivation and for nothing else. The
whole question of the banana industry
hinges on the market. At present the mar-
ket is limited.
Limes and oranges can be cultivated and
the fruit, can be easily packed for export;
at present the production does not meet the
local market. The fruits can be- raised to
perfection. The Hawaiian orange has a fine
flavor and the Hawaiian lime is of superior
quality. In the uplands of Hawaii and
Maui potatoes are raised. Their qukllty is
good. Corn is also raised. In these indus-
tries many Portuguese, Norwegians and
others have embarked. Both these products
find an ample local market. The com is
used largely for feed on the plantations, and
fTound with the cob maktfs an lexcellent
eed for working cattle, horses and mules.
In the uplands where the climate is tem-
perate, as at Waimea, Hawaii, vegetables
of all kinds c^n be raised; excellent cauli-
flowers, cabbages and every product of the
temperate zone can be grown to perfection.
Cattle raising In so small a place as the
Hawaiian islands does not preisent great
opportunities except for local consumption.
Pigs are profitable to the small farmer.
In the Kula district of Maui pigs are fat-
tened upon the corn and potatoes raised in
the district. The price of pork, dressed, is
25. cents a pound in Honolulu and about 15
cents a pound in the outside districts.
The Chinese; of whom there are some
20,000 resident on the various islands, are
extremely fond of pork, so that there is a
large local market, which has to be supple-
mented by importations from Galifonda. -
Attention has lately been giveji to-^b«r

locations. Bamie erows luxuriantly, but
the lack of proper decorticating and clean-
ing machinery nas prevented any advance
in this cnltlyation.
Sisal hemp and sansevelra have been ex-
perimented with, but without any distinct
influence upon the trade output.
The cultivation of pineapples is a growing
industry. In 1895 ''ipines^'^ were exported
from the islands to San Francisco to the
value of nearly $9,000. This has grown up
in the last halr-doaen years. There Is every
reason to think that canning pineapples for
the coast and other markets can be made
profitable.
The guava, which grows wild, . can also
be put to profit for the manufacture of
guava Jeliy. It has never been entered upon
on a large scale, but to the thrifty farmer It
would l^ a convenient addition to his in-
come. Just as the juice of the maple adds to
the income of farmers of the eastern states.
Well-made guava Jelly will find a market
anjrwhere. In England it is regarded as a
great delicacy, being imported from the
west India islands. Besides the guava
there are other fruits which can be put up
to commercial profit, notably the poha, or
cape gooseberrv (physalls edulls). This has
been successfully made into Jams and Jelly,
which command an extensive local sale and
should find their way into larger markets.
In fact, outside the great industries of
sugar, coffee and rice there is a good field
for many minor industries which can be
carried on with profit.
In the Hawaiian islands a simple life ci^n
be lived, and entering gradually upon the
coffee industry a good competence can be
obtained long before such could be realised
by the agriculturist in less favored coun-
tries. However, it is useless to go to the
islands without the necessary capital to
develop the land that can h^ obtained. Be-
tween arriving and the time that the crops
begin to give returns there is a period where
the living must be close and cash must be
paid out for the necessary improvements.
HAWAIIAN ANKEXATIOK.
The record of the proceedings having for
their object the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States was brought down in
The Daily Newtf Almanac for 1898 to Sep-
tember, 1897, when the Hawaiian senate
met in special session for considering the
annexation treaty then pending in the sen-
ate of the United States, which will be
found on page 266 of that volume. The
Hawaiian senate signified its assent to the
annexation of the islands to the United
States, although there was a strong feeling
of opposition to such action among the
native royalists, who opposed a surrender of
their government and territory. It will be
remenobered that the annexation treaty was
transmitted to the United States senate In
June, 1897, Just before the close of the
special session, and it was publicly ex-
pectc>d that it would be acted upon early in
the session of the regular congress which
met in December of that year. The treaty
was considered in secret session, and it be-
came evident that although the annexation
of Hawaii was supposed to be a republican
measure the ratification of the treaty was
opposed by some of the ablest members of
that party in the senate, while it bad the
unqualified support of several members of
the opposition. It was publicly stated that
Mr. Morrill (Rep.) of Vermont and Mr.
Hoar (Rep.) of Massachusetts opposed the
ratification of the treaty, while Mr. Morgan
(Dem.) of Alabama, recognized leader of
his party, warmly advocated its adoption.
Other republicans were disposed to object to
the union, while some of the other demo-
crats and all the populists favored the pro-
posal.
On the 24th of January, 1898, Mr. Joseph
O. Carter arrived in Washington from Efa-
waii to oppose the adoption of the treaty,
which he declared would be injurious to
both countries, while he affirmed that Ha-
waii was amply able to take care of herself.
On the 26th of January President Dole of
the Hawaiian republic visited Washington
and was received as the chief executive of a
neighboring state. He remained at the
capital some two weeks, and during the
time be refrained from expressing himself
Sbllcly upon the subject of annexation.
« treaty wasTeported from the committee
on foreign relatiens to the senate near the
middle of January, and the opposition to its
ratification at once developed itself. On
the 3d of February Senator White (Dem.) of
California offered a resolution setting forth
that the people of Hawaii had the right to
maintain their own form of government and
the United States ought not to interfere
with such right. On the 7th Senator Mor-
gan (Dem.) of Alabama offered an amend-
ment to this resolution, which- was as
follows:
"That the republic of Hawaii, established
in and based upon its present constitution.
Is a rightful government, and has been and
still is recognized as such by the United
States of America and by other great pow-
ers, without any question by any nation of
its rightful and sovereign independence; and
said constitution is the true and recognized
authority that fixes the measure and the
distribution of the rights and powers of
government in that republic while said con-
stitution remains in force.
"That In conformity with the existing
constitution of the republic of Hawaii, and
so long as the same is in force, the powers
of government reside In and are to oe ex-
ercised by the Incumbents of the depart-
ments, tribunals and offices created by
said constitution and filled in pursuance of
law, and the lawful electors under said
constitution who qualify as such by taking
the oath of allegiance prescribed therein
are entitled to share in the government of
Hawaii according to the rights secured to
them in said constitution, and to the extent
and in the manner therein provided, so long
as the same is in force.
"And said government of the republic of
!Hawall having in due form signified its
consent in the manner provided in its con-
stitution that the Hawaiian islands, with
all the territory appurtenant thereto, over
which said government now claims to exer-
cise sovereign Jurisdiction, shall be annexed
to and become a part of the territory of the
United States of America, and shall be sub-
ject to the national power and sovereign
Jurisdiction fibereof, ft is hereby enacted
and declared that said cession is accepted,
ratified and confirmed, and that said Ha-
waiian islands are annexed as a part of the

The resolutions went to the president and
were signed by him on the 7th of July, 1898.
In accordance with the resolutions the presi-
dent selected as the five commissioners who
are to recommend to congress such legisla-
tion as they regard necessary and proper for
the government of the new possessions the
following: Senators Shelby M. Oillom
(Rep.) of Illinois and John T. Morgan (Dem.)
of Alabama, Representative Robert R. Hitt
(Uep,) of Illinois, and Sanford B. Dole,
president of Hawaii, and Walter F. Frear,
representing Hawaii.
That this government has annexed the
Hawaiian islands without the consent of tiie
large majority of the native population la
not to be denied. Upon this subject liear-
Admiral L. A. Beardslee, U. S. N., who,
from being a long time stationed at Hono-
lulu, is thoroughly competent to express an
opinion, says in a recent article In the
North American Review:
"That we have not obtained the full and
free consent of these people seems to be a
fact. Circumstances wiilch occui'red on and
before annexation day, the 12th of last
August, indicate tliis very strongly. A short
time before protests against annexation
had been filed with both governments by
political societies. On the day when an-
nexation was consummated of the great
number of the best of Honolulu people who,
through social or official standing, were en-
titled to places on the great platform built
on the steps of the executive building—
formerly the palace of Hawaii's monarchs —
to witness and participate in the ceremo-
nies but one of the three principal classes
into which Honolulu people are divided was
present in any force, these, namely, who
affiliated with or supported the party ot
which the government was formed. The
other parties, the natives and half-white».
and the royalists, took no part, and among
them were people whose official and social
standing are such that their absence coula
not have been the result of accident. There
were at the time in Honolulu the ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, the ex-Dowager Queen Kaplo*
lani, the ex-Princess Kaiulani, and in the
list I have before me as I write I cannot
find their names nor the name of any of the
prominent royalists, nor of a Hawaiian not
attached to the government.
"The band of Hawaiian damsels who
were to have lowered for the last time
the Hawaiian flag as the government
band played for tne last time the Ha-
waiian ponoi would not lower it. The
band refused to play the ponoi and loud
weeping was the only music contributed by
the natives. Very evidently there was dls-

production have become centralized to such
a degree that only in collective form can
they be restored to the producers, this is
by no means the case in the field of agri-
culture; here the main instrument ot pro-
duction — to wit, the soil— is generally the
individual possession of the producer. We
adopt the following platform for the pur-
pose of uniting the workers in the country
with those in the city:
"1. Nationalization of all mortgages on
iand, the rate of interest to* be lowered to
cost price.
"2. /The national credit to be at the dis-
posal of the farmers for improvement of
their land to the extent of half its value.
Money to be issued for this purpose, which
Is to be destroyed when the Installments
are paid.
"3. No more public land to be sold, but to
be utilized by the United States or the state
directly for the public benefit, or leased to
farmers in smaU parcels of not over 640
acres, the state to make strict regulations
as to improvement and cultivation. Forests
and waterways to be put under direct con-
trol of the nation.
"4. E^rection of grain elevators, maga-
zines and cold-storage buildings by the
nation to be used by the farmers at cost
price.
"6. A uniform postal rate for the trans-
portation of agncultural products on all
railroads.
**7. Public credit to be at the disposal of
counties and towns for the improvement of
roads and soil and for irrigation and drain-
age. Money to be used for such purpose
to be destroyed when repaid.'*
THB PEOPLE'S PARTY CONVENTION.
Pursuant to a call Issued by the national
organization committee of the people's party
a convention was held In Cincinnati, O., on
the 6th day of September. The delegates,
numbering about 246. who were In attend-
ance represented that wing of the party
known as the "middle-of-the-road" or "non-
fnsionist" element. Ignatius Donnelly of
Minnesota was chosen chairman of the con-
vention. A committee on resolutions was
appointed to present an . address to the
people of the United States and to formu-
late a platform. This committee was com-
posed of the following named delegates:
Florida. F. H. Lytle: Geonria, w. J. Mc-
Daoiel; Illinois, Kay Goodwin; Indiana, O.
L. Ross; Kentucky. Jo A. Parker; Michi-
gan, James B. McBrlde; Mississippi, Frank
Burkltt; Ohio, John Phalen; Pennsylvania,
Wharton Barker; Tennessee, Horace Mer-
rltt; Minnesota, Ignatius Donnelly; Mis-
souri, W. O. Atkeson; Arkansas, M. K.
CofTman.
The committee presented the following
address and platform, which were adopted:
"I'rosperity is the first right of a people.
"The preamble of t|^ constitution of the
United States declares the purpose of that
instrument to be to 'promote the general
welfare'— in other words, to enrich the peo-
ple and make them happy.
"Liberty is desired of all men, because it
means equality of opportunity; and this
means universal prosperity. Poverty, lack-
ing liberty, is unable to defend itself
against privilege.
"All history Is but a record of the strug-
gles of mankind to rise to happiness in the
face of misgovernment.
"Labor in tne ancient civilizations was but
another name for slavery. All the workers
in the forest, on the farm, in the shop and
in the mine, were slaves.
"The monuments of Egypt still rear their
massive fronts to heaven, enduring testi-
mony to the enormities of Injustice in-
fiicted upon the workmen who built them.
"The producers of the wealth of Greece
and Rome were denied happiness in life
and heaven in death. They were regarded
as soulless beings, forbidden to be present
at the religious mysteries, and refused eveu
the rights of sepulture.
"Their degraded estate was branded in
their very faces, and when they became too
numerous for their masters' safety they
were slaughtered by thousands.
"The fact that they belonged to the same
race, and even to the same families, as
their owners did not in the least mitigate
their sufferings. Nor was it considered any
argument in behalf of the poor creatures
that their outlawed caste had given birth
to great geniuses and commanders, like
JEsop, Probus, Vitellius, Diocletian, and
even Augustus Csesar.
"The producers of all food were hungry,
the creators of all wealth were paupers, the
manufacturers of all clothing were naked,
the forgers of all weapons were defenseless.
"Out of their very faith in God were
welded the chains that rendered them help-
less; for they feared the denial of the
sacred rites of sepulture more than they
feared death itself, and the baseless hopes
of future bliss, in pagan heaven, were re-
ceived by tbem as an equivalent for a life
of continuous misery on earth.
"When these wretched beings, unable
longer to bear the incalculable sufferings,
broke out in great insurrections, under
Spartacus, Eunus, A then ion and others,
more than a million of them were crucified
and left to rot on the public highways.
"The birth of the Christian religion was
the first break of light amid the gloomy hor-
rors of this awful spectacle. It came as an
outburst from the depths of the oppressed
and servile class. Its Founder was a me-
chanic; His apostles fishermen. It preached
to the multitude equality and nniversaJ
brotherhood, the Immortality of the soul
and the love of a Heavenly Father. It
scourged the money-changers out of the
temple and consigned the wicked rich to
the tortures of an eternal hell.
"The growth of Christianity was a suc-
cessful insurrection of the poor and was
adopted by the great only after it had em-
I braced the great body of the people. It

gradually aboliebed slavery, mitigated the
eyils ot human selfishnesa and lifted up all
mankind.
**The next step in this preordained ad-
vancement was the voyage of Columbus and
the transfer of the best blood of the old
world to the shores of the new. A flood of
poor, hungry men struggled across the At-
lantic, and, on terms of perfect equality
and filled with th* positive demands of
liberty, spvead themselves over the virgin
land, kept void of inhabitants, therefor, by
the providence of God.
**Then began a process of splendid devel-
opment for which the previous experience of
mankind had afforded no parallel. The
genius of humanity cast away its chains
and stepped forward into the light with a
continent for an arena, surrounded by the
glorious effulgence of universal prosperity.
*'A11 who stood before it went down, and
resistance was but a stepping-stone to
nobler heights of development. The dreams
of the poets and sages of antiquity were
realized, and a government of equal rights
and human brotherhood, enlightened bv uni-
versal education, rose like a mountain be-
fore the gaze of the astonished world.
*'From the Atlantic to the Mississippi the
forests were brushed away and endless
gardens and magnificent cities covered the
land. The bodies and the minds of men
were enlarged to nobler proportions and all
the magnificent qualitites of the human
soul shone forth with resplendent luster.
**But the width of the Atlantic had not
changed human nature. Into this paradise
the old serpent of injustice drove the toiler
himself. He took possession of the garden
and drove the toller from beneath his vine
and fig tree. He changed the lovely scene
into an abode of unhappiness, filled with
lamentations.
"The census of 1S90 showed that one-
fourth of the dwellers in this land of free
homes had become tenants. While popula-
tion had in ten years increased 25 per cent
and wealth 45 per cent the mortgaged in-
debtedness on the homes of the people had,
in the period, advanced 156 per cent. The
farm-owning families, despite the homestead
law, had increased but 2i/i per cent, whi e
the tenants of land had increased 40V^ per
cent.
**It was shown by that census that 4,047
families owned |12, 000, 000, 000 of the wealth
of the whole country. In other words, three
one hundredths of 1 per cent of the peo-
ple owned one-fifth of all the wealth, 9 per
cent of the people owned 71 per cent of the
entire property of the country, while the
remaining 91 per cent owned but 29 per cent
of the wealth. Bankruptcy, suicide and in-
sanltv had grown beyond all precedent.
"These facts struck teiTor to the souls of
all thinking people.
"They asked themselves. If loss than 100
vears of national life, starting from an
ideal condition of equality, under the no<»
blest institutions ever known to man, had
produced these terrible results, what would
another hundred years bring forth?
"They perceived that the great American
people were rapidly becoming landless,
homeless and hopeless.
"They beheld the birth of that product
of modem times— the corporation— an artifi-
cial creature, unknown to the ancient
world; a demon possessed of all the at-
tributes of God's creatures, but clothed
with Immortal life and boundless power.
They saw it rise in a few generations from
nothingness to the control of congress, sta e
legislatures, municipal governments, the
avenues of public opinion, and ail the in-
strumentalities of production and traua|M>r-
tation. They saw it a government within
the government— levying taxes and collect-
ing revenues never voted by the people.
They saw it lessening the opportunities vt
labor; driving the farmer from his larm ana
the workman from his bench, concentrating
the earth's surface in the hands of a few
and consigning the toiler to change and
starvation.
"Thoughtful men looked down the vista
of the future and saw the people returning
to the awful conditions of pre-Christian
slavery. To the evil rich Christ had be-
come but a name; the horrid image of
Moloch displaced the gentle Nasarene in
the hearts of the rulers of the world.
VAppalled by the revelations of the censut*
of 1890 the friends of mankind assembled ia
this city of Cinciiyiatl on the 19th and 20th
days of May, 1891, in a convention of 1,418
delegates from thirty-two states, and with
vast enthusiasm and complete unanimity
established the people's party of the Uniteu
States.
"They adjourned until Feb. 22, 1892, to
meet at St. Louis, a great assemblage, rep-
resenting all the extensive labor organiza-
tions of farmers and mechanics, including
those which met In St. Louis In 1889, the
Ocala conference of 1890 and the Omaha
assemblage .of the Northwestern alliance
held in 1891.
"It was there unanimously resolved that
a new party should be established; the
call was issued for a delegate convention,
to be held at Omaha on the 4th of July,
1892, to place in nomination candidates for
the "presidency and vice-presidency.
"The slowly gathering discontent, ex-
tending over many years, found voice at
last in the preamble and resolutions of that
convention.
"They built the new party on the broad-
est and grandest principles. They declared
that 'wealth belongs to him that creates it,'
and that 'every dollar taken from industry
without an equivalent is robbery.' They an-
nounced that 'the interests of rural and
civic labor are' the same, their enemies
identical.'
"They declared:
" 'The conditions that surround us Justify
our co-operation; we meet in the midst of a
nation brought to the verge of moral, polit-
ical and material ruin. Corruption domi-
nates the ballot box, the legislatures, the
congress, and touches even the ermine of
the bench. The people are demoralized, in
most of the states have been compelled to
isolate the voters at the polling places in
order to prevent universal Intimidation ot-
bribery. The newspapers are subsidized,
public opinion silenced, business prostrated,
our homes covered with mortgages, labor
impoverished and the land concentrating ib
the hands of capitalists. The urban work«
men are denied the right of organization for
self -protection; imported, pauperised labor
beats down their wages; a hireling standing
army, unrecognized oy our laws, is estab-
lished to shoot them down, and they are
rapidly degenerating into European condi-
tions. The fruits of the toll of millions
are boldly stolen to build up colossal for-
tunes, unprecedented in the history of
mankind, and the possessors of these in
turn despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From the prolific womb of gov-

eminent al Injustice we breed two great
classes — tramps and millionaires.* '
"Tfaey denounced both the old parties as
equally responsible for the terriole condi-
tion of the people. The platform said:
** 'We have witnessed for more than a
quarter of a century the struggles of the
great parties for power and plunder, while
grievous wrongs have been Inflicted upon a
suffering people. We charge that the con-
trolling influences dominating both these
parties have permitted the existing dread-
ful conditions to develop without serious
efforts to prevent or restrain them. Neither
do they promise us anv substantial reform.
They nave agreed to ignore in the coming
campaign every issue but one. They pro-
pose to drown the outcries of a plundered
people with the uproar of a sham battle
over thfi tariff, so that capitalists, corjwra-
tions, national banks, rings, trusts, watered
stocks, the demonetization of silver and the
oppression of the usurers may all be lost
sight of. They propose to sacrifice our
homes and children on the altar of Mam-
mon, to destroy the multitude in order to
secure corruption funds from the million-
aires.'
"Upon this platform, with its familiar
concluding demands, we went before the
people, and after four months' campaign
we polled 1,055,424 votes and carried four
states and partially two more, receiving
altogether twenty-two electoral votes. The
democrats won in the contest and elected
Grover Cleveland president by 277 electoral
votes, against 145 for Benjamin Harrison.
In the campaign both the old parties kept
up their 'sham battle' over the tariff and
studiously ignored the great issues raised
by the people's party.
**In 1893 the Omaha platform received
striking corroboration from the terrible
panic which fell upon the countiy, sweeping
away banks and business and plunging mil-
lions into bankruptcy. Mr. Cleveland's
panacea of fiee trade did not relieve the
sufferings of the people. In the elections of
1894 the democratic party was generally re-
padiated, and It became apparent that that
venerable organization must find new Issues
or be borne to its everlasting resting place.
There did not seem to be a state It was
certain to carry in 1896.
"The people's party vote in 1894 and 1895
rose to nearly 2,000,000. and everything in-
dicated its speedy national triumph.
"In this emergency the democratic party
saw that It had no resource but to steal one
of the principles of the despised populists,
and after having persistently opposed the
remonetizatlon of sliver in congress and de-
feating a dozen bills looking to that end it
changed front in the twinkling of an eye,
and In the Chicago convention of 1896, in a
prearranged, theatrical scene of great up-
roar and enthusiasm, moved to the front as
the devoted and lifelong champion of that
which it had ever opposed.
"Having stolen one of the principles of
our platform It became necessary to steal
our votes and break up our organization.
Hence, when the people's party national
invention met, a tremendous pressure was
brought to bear upon it to do what no
political party had ever done in the hls-
jofy of our country— to wit, to nominate
the candidates of another party for presi-
[aent and vice-president and stop in mid-
career of its own tremendous growth and
ffle itself to the doubtful fortunes an^ still
more doubtful sincerity of a rival organiza-
tion.
"In vain it was urged upon th^ conven-
tion that if we maintained our separate
existence and nominated our own candi-
dates we could still unite with anv other
party in support of a Joint electoral ticket
in every state.
"If this plan had been adopted the repub-
lican party would surely have been de-
feated, but democracy insisted that the
battle must be won under their banner.
Hence our noble candidate for vice-presi-
dent was ostiacized and pushed aside in
behalf of a man whose every principle was
in fundamental antagonism to the creed of
our party, and our organization with its
twenty-two electoral votes and nearly
2,000,000 voters was ignored and spat upon.
Our nomination was thrown back in our
faces by a telegram from the gentleman we
had nominated; we v/ere denied all recog-
uitlon. The telegram of declination wag not
produced, but our votes were carefully ex-
ploited in the election which followed.
"By an extraordinary calamity a gentle-
man was made chairman of our national
committee and commander-in-chief of our
forces who had achieved success by a com-
bination with republicans, and who was
ready to equalize things by sacrificing our
party to accomplish another unholy union
with the democrats.
He preached disintegration aad demoral-
ization, Just as Benedict Arnold stipulated
for the scattering of the American forces
that the British might the more readily
overthrow the young republic. Mr. Butler
taught our forces the first .duty of a sol-
dier was to break ranks and go over to the
enemy. It was as if Gen. Miles had issued
orders to our troops at Santiago to tear
down the American flag and merge into the
Spaniards— because we all thought alike on
the question of Qod and the immortality of
the soul.
"All efforts to chain the boundless sub-
tlety of this cunning man had been in vain.
As late as Aug. 25, 1898, in a speech at
Denver, Col., despite ail previous com-
Facts and promises, he urged all friends of
ree silver to act together, and he denounced
those who were 'trying to divide its friends
because they differed on other questions.*
And yet he well knew that the republkans
and prohibitionists of Colorado and all the
western states were also in favor of free
silver, and that there was Just as much
reason to unite with them as with the
democrats. He also knew that where a
smaller and weaker party unites with a
greater and stronger it is the inevitable
union of the lion and the lamb. He knew
that the experiment had nearly obliterated
the people's party in several states and
that he was leading the rest of those who
trusted him into the abyss where reposed
the moldering bones of the greenback
party. He well knew that the free-silver
issue was but one of many planks of the
people's party, and while desirable in it-
self could not bring the people relief If
corporate power were to continue to rule the
nation and plunder unchecked the industry
of the land.
"Our chief battle is not against the de-
monetization of one metal for the benefit
of another, but against the chaining of
the world's progress to the car wheels of a
prehistoric superstition in the shape of both
metals. The growth of population and the
happiness of mankind are thus made con

tingent upon accidental discoveries of two
Intrinsically worthless metals. The whole
adoration of gold and silver is but a sur-
vival of pagan barbarism, more deadly in
Its effects than slavery, polygamy and
witchcraft.
"While it is conceded* that money Is a
governmental measure of value, and con-
sists not in its material but in the stamp of
the nation, the whole world is to-day held
in check by a system of gold barter, while
enterprise languishes, industry suffers and
cemeteries are becoming populous with the
bodies of bankrupts and suicides. Uecog-
nizing that a terrible emergency requires
desperate remedies and that we must ap-
peal to the highest qualities of the human
mind and heart, and not in degrading 'dick-
ers* and trades of scrambling politicians,
we cast aside all precedents and go directly
to the people. We commence anew the>
campaign of education which gave us. in
the first two years of our existence, nearly
2,000,000 votes.
"We believe the soul is bigger than the
pocketbook. We address ourselves to the
reason of men and their love of country.
We have nothing but kind words for demo-
crats and republicans, individually. We
beg them to Join our ranks and help us
fight the battles of mankind. For those
who, eager for immediate results, have
innocently left us and merged with the
enemy and helped on our demoralization,
we extend the open arms of invitation and
reconciliation. We ask them for the sake
of the great truths which fired their hearts
in 1892 to be with us in 1898 and forever
after. If the birth of our party was de-
manded by events six years ago circum-
stances clamor in thunder tones for its
continuance to-day. The whole experiment
of self-government is at stake. We are
about to add to our population as many
millions of alien and strange people as our
whole voting force amounts to, and no one
can say how soon these will be dragged to
the ballot box by the money power to bury
Qur liberties in universal ruin.
"By all the dreadful past of the world,
by the memory of all the millions who
ended lives of miserable enslavement in
degraded graves, by the teachings and sac-
rim;es of the martyred Christ, by the suffer-
ings of the great revolution that made us a
nation, by all the hopes of humanity all
over this round globe, we implore our fel-
low-citizens to unite with us in one grand
effort to build up a reform party that will
liberate mankind.
"Our hearts go out to the wretched and
oppressed of the whole world, and if placed
in power in this countrv we shall try to so
act as to help all mankind.
PLATFORM OF THE REVIVIFIED PEO-
PLE'S PARTY.
"As a fundamental step to the preserva-
tion of our endangered liberties we demand
that the reign of corruption shall cease in
our legislative halls by the establishment
of direct legislation. We must shorten the
ftlow handles of government by bringing the
egislator closer to bis principals— so close
that no lobbyist can intrude between them.
Through the initiative and referendum all
moral and political questions can be sub-
mitted to a fair and impartial vote of the
people and if adopted by a majority of the
voters become the law of the land.
**Whlle we demand that if either gold or
silver is to be used as money both shall be
so osed, we Insist that the best currency
this country ever possessed was the full
legal tender greenback of the civil wa».
And we look forward with hope to the day
when gold shall be relegated to the arta of
the countrv and the human family possess,
free of tribute to bankers, a govenunental
full legal measure of value, made of paper,
that will expand side by side witn the
growth of wealth and population. Then,
and only then, will the people realise the
full benefits of civilization and the world
be made a garden of delights for mankind.
"We call attention to the public school
system and the postal service as exempli-
flcations of a beneficent state socialism
which our people would only relinquish with
their lives. And we demand that the carry-
ing of messages written with pen and ink
be amplified to embrace messages vnritten
by electricity, and that the train of cars
which carries our letters be owned by the
government to carry those who wrote the
letters. No other reforms will avail much
if corporations are permitted to say how
much they shall take from the producers
and how much they will leave them.
This is taxation without representa-
tion in its worst form. It is the disgrace
of our republic that foreign despotisms
have defended the right of the people In
these particulars, while corruption has
made self-government a helpless failure in
this land. We believe in the collective
ownership of those means of production and
distribution which the people may elect,
such as railways, telegraphs, telephones,
coal mines, etc.
"We are opposed to individuals or cor-
porations fastening themselves, like vam-
pires, on the people, and sucking their sub-
stance, and we demand that whatever can
be better done by government for the en*
richment of the many shall not be turned
over to individuals for the aggrandizement
of the few.
"Hence we insist that banks have no
more right to create our money than they
would have to organize our army or paa^
our laws.
"We reaflSrm the fundamental principles
of the Omaha platform and declare it to
be the immutable creed of our party, coeral
with it in birth and filled with the spirit
that launched it on its grand career. It
must not be whittled away or traded off for
offices. The man who proposes to do this
is an enemy of mankind; he would sell the
kingdom of heaven for a mess of pottage.
"In order to maintain the liberties of the
people we must preserve their homes, and
we theiefore demand laws in the several
states exempting the homes of the people
from taxation absolutely in a sum not less
than $2,000, and a personal property exemp-
tion of not less than $300 to each head of a
family. To make up for this reduction of
taxation we favor an income, inheritance
and other like taxes.
" 'With malice toward none, with charity
to all, with devotion to the right as God
gives us to see the right,' we commit our
cause to the hearts and consciences of the
American people."
After the adoption of the address and
platform the convention proceeded to the
nomination of candidates for the presidency
and vice-presidency. Upon a call of the
states Mr. Rahilly of Minnesota presented
the name of Ignatius Donnelly; Dr. Fay of
the same state and Mr. Burton of nilnols
seconded the nomination. Florida yielding

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT VARIOUS STATE CONVENTIONS ON NATIONAL
QUESTIONS.
THB 7INAH0ES.
[Where parties are omitted no declaration was made.]
ALABAMA.
REPUBLICAN.
We hereby reafiSrm our faith in and al-
legiance to the principles of the republican
party, and we do also indorse the national
platform of the party adopted in conven-
tion at St. Lools in 1896.
We specifically declare in fa vow of a pro-
tective tariir and for a -sound and stable
currency, both of which give employment
alike to labor and capital and provide suf-
ficient revenue in time of peace to run the
government without a resort to bond issue,
which can only be Justified in time of war.
DEMOCRATIC.
We do reaffirm out unalterable faith in
the principles declared in our platform,
adopted in 1896, and especially in the plat-
form adopted at Chicago in July of the
same year, not so much because those plat-
forms were declarations of our party, but
for the much higher teason that the prin-
ciples therein announced are the principles
upon which the democratic party and the
federal government are founded and be-
cause those principles are eternally tnie.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Free coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio of IS to 1, and that all other money
shall be issued by the federal government
and shall be a legal tender for all the pub-
lic and private dues and demands, with in-*
hibition oy law of any contract that annuls
the full exactions of these requirements,
and with no one kind of money redeemable
in any other kind of money. We denounce
the effort to increase the national bonded
debt by placing the sovereign power in the
ridiculous position of borrowing what it
alone has power to create, and insist that
no bond should be issued until tbe volume
ot currency shall reach $50 per capita.
ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We teaflSrm our adherence to the doctrine
of sound money, by which every dollar.
gold, silver or paper, put forth under the
sanction of the government shall be equal
to every other dollar.
DEMOCRATIC.
We Indorse the national platform of the
democratic party adopted at Chicago, in its
national convention of 1896, and reaffirm the
principles therein enunciated.
CALIFORNIA-
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the financial
plank oi the republican national platform
of 1896 as being a sound and correct expo-
sition of the views of the republican party
upon the finances of the country. We com-
iiM<nd the eflTorts of the national administra-
tion to secure an international monetary
agreement, and urge that the attempt be
renewed whenever an opirartunity to do so
shall be presented.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the national
platform of the . democratic party adopted
at Chicago in 1896, and specifically declare
our adherence to the paramount purpose
enunciated in that platform, viz.: A return
to the constitutional system of free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and silver as
money at the ratio of 16 to 1, without wait-
ing for the consent of any other nation.
PROHIBITION.
The stability of our money system is based
npon the industry and sobriety of the citi-
zen. We believe that the currency problem
has been largely produced by the brewery
and distillery, which, through their agents,
the saloons, have drawn from the products
of our workingmen silver to be pilea up use-
lessly in the banks, and, after being
changed for gold, to be largely shipped to
foreign countries.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand the free and unrestricted coin-
age of silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation, and we are
unalterably opposed to the policy of the re-
publican party in demanding the retirement
of greenbacks and the surrender to national
banks of the sovereign power of issuing
money, and we especially denounce the
avowed attempt of said party to fasten upon
the country irrevocably and forever the
single gold standard.
We demand a national money, safe and
sound. Issued by the general government
only, without the intervention of banks of
issue, to be full legal tender for all debts,
public and private; also a Just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution direct to
the people through the lawful disburse-
ments of the government.
We demand that the volume of circulating
medium be speedily increased to an amount
sufficient to meet the demands of a growing
business and population of the country and
to restore the :Ju8t level of prices of labor
and production.
We demand such legislation as will pre-
vent for the future the demonetization of
any kind of legal-tender money by private
contract.
We demand that the government, in pay-
ment of its obligations, shall use its option
as to the kind of money in which they are
to be paid, and we denounce the present and
preceding administrations for surrendering
this option to the holders of government ob-
ligations.
we demand that there shall be no further
issue of United States interest-bearing
bonds.
COLORADO.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the restoration of the money of
the constitution by throwing open the mints
mm

of the countnr to the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silyer at the ratio of
16 to 1.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democratic party of the state of Colo-
rado reaffirms the fundamental principles of
the national democratic platform adopted in
Chicago in 1896. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16
to 1, and without the consent of any other
nation on earth, is and must remain the
ftaramount issue in American politics until
t is accomplished by national legislation.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
The silver republicans of the state of
Colorado again declare their allegiance to
the cause of bimetallism and demand the
restoration of silver to an equal plane of
dignity and power with gold as a monetary
metal, and that the mints of the United
States be opened to the coinage of both sil-
ver and gold at the old ratio of 16 to 1,
without asking or awaiting the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. The gold standard
was introduced to the financial systems of
the leading nations of the world twenty-five
years ago, without popular demand or
knowledge, and has proved a disastrous ex-
periment from that time to this. Numerous
international conventions have been called
for the sole purpose of getting rid of it,
and in every leading nation commissions al-
most without number appointed to investi-
gate the progressive depression In agricul-
ture and trade have reported in favor of its
abolition.
By depriving silver of its rights and by
vastly adding to the demand for gold the
par of exchange between gold-using and sil-
ver-using nations has been broken and trade
between them reduced to a game of hazard.
The increased necessity of attempting to do
more business with loss money has involved
a ruinous fall of prices, with resulting dis-
couragement to enterprises, loss of employ-
ment to labor, multiplication of the bur-
dens of debt, taxes and fixed charges, the
growth of trusts and combines, and the ag-
grandizement of the hoarders as against the
producers of wealth.
We declare that the only practicable
method of restoring un vexed commercial re-
lations between gold-using and silver-using
countries, and of stopping the fall of prices
with its resultant wrongs, is to be found In
a return to the time-honored policy of bi-
metallism. The evil results of the gold-
standard experiment are not denied by its
advocates and they stand mute in the face
of a demand for a remedy. To enforce the
gold standard throughout the world is im-
josslble. IThe present condition is intolera-
>le. The silver republican party and Its al-
les believe that the issue thus presented
s the most important In American politics
and calls for settlement before all others.
We arraign the gold-standard republican
party for Its attemnted deception of the
American people bv false pretenses in favor
of an international agreement for the free
coinage of silver, while actively engaged in
furthering the designs of the gold monopoly
and the bankers' trust, and we congratulate
the American people that In the present at-
titude of the administration and in the
declarations of the leading republican state
conventions of this year the nation at last
has frank avowal by that party of Its abso-
lute surrender to the gold-standard system.
In the state of Colorado an especial effort
has been made to cloak and disguise the de-
signs of the supporters of the gold standard.
The history of these times is a woeful chap-
ter in the literature of political dissimula-
tion. It has within tne last few days
reached its appropriate culmination in an
act which has disgraced the state and may
well appall the citizenship of the country.
The advocates of the ^id standard in Colo-
rado have attempted the theft of a whole
political party. The unfortunate occurrence
at the opera house in Colorado Springs on
the morning of Sept. 7 is a fit illustration of
the desperation of these men and of the ex-
tent to which they are willing to go In
furtherance of this scheme to thwart the
will of the silver republicans of Colorado.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The people's party of the state of Colorado
reaffirms its unswerving allegiance to the
principles of the Omaha and St. Louis na-
tional platforms of 1892 and 1896. We be-
lieve the financial question to be the para-
mount question of the present campaign,
and we reiterate our demand for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the constitutional rate of 16 to 1. -^
(XMfNBCnCUT.
REPUBLICAN.
After the experience of the last two years
It [the party] reaffirms its advocacy of th«
single standard of value, and that standard
gold, as the only financial policy which will
assure public confidence and national credit
at home and abroad, and which will pro--
mote such investment of capital in the en-
terprise of commerce, trade and manufac^
ture as will insure a remunerative employ-
ment to the farmers, mechanics and wage-'
earners of America.
It believes that the impossibility of eflTect-
ing an international agreement with the
loading commercial nations of the world tor
the free coinage of silver has been cleariy
demonstrated. It therefore favors such na-
tional monetary legislation as will main-
tain our paper and silver currency at a
parity wltn gold, by which the weight of a
gold dollar shall be established at the pres-
ent standard, and by which every paper and
silver dollar and every obligation for the
payment of money shell be redeemable In
gold, and such changes as in our present
monetary system as will furnish ample
credit facillMes for conducting business in
all parts of the country, by the retirement
of government notes and the issue of bank
notes so secured as to insure their redemp-
tion in gold of the present standard of fine-
ness. To the accomplishment of these re-
sults it cordially asks the co-operation and
support of all gold democrats and patriotic
Americans, and earnestly Invites them to
unite in the support of its platf<M:m and
tickets.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
Believing that the money of the ffovem-
ment should be the best In the world, and
that Its value should be unquestioned every-
where, we demand the maintenance by the
government of the present gold standard ot
the value of said money, that notes of the
government payable on demand shall only
be issued when gold to the amount of the
notes so Issued is deposited with the na-
tional treasury for the redemption thereof.
And that the gold so deposited shall be pre-
r

serred and kept In said treasury for the
sole purpose of redeeming such notes.
DEMOCRATIC.
The necessity of reforming our currency
system is admitted on all sides and con-
fessed by the president himself (who sent
a monetavy commission abroad to consult
foreign governments and asked for the ap-
pointment of another monetary commission
to consider the question here at home) ; but,
notwithstanding the admitted evils of our
present complicated. Illogical and injurious
currency system, the republican congress
and administration have taken no positive
and effective measure for reform.
GE90R6IA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and indorse the democratic
national platform as adopted at Chicago in
1896, and especially do we reiterate and
urge its declaration upon the question of
currency reform and the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the exist-
ing ratio of 16 to 1, and without the aid or
consent of any other nation. We emphasize
the declaration of that platform and also of
the platform of the Georgia democracy of
the same year, in its unalterable opposition
to the single gold standard, and we hold
that events have jusFtified the truth of every
charge made against it in the campaign of
1896.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We heartily indorse the financial policy
of the republican party as the same has
been applied to the management of the
financial affairs of the government.
DEMOCRATIC.
Demands "the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the present es-
tablished ratio of 16 to 1 by independent
action of the United States, without wait-
ing for the consent or permlflsion of other
nations.*'
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
We invite the attention of the people of
niinolB to the fact that upon the surrender
by the republican party in 1893 of the affairs
of the nation to the democratic party there
was then and there closed an era of prosper-
ity unprecedented in this country; that fol-
lowing the inauguration of President Cleve-
land in 1893 new policies of administration
were adopted, old, tried and approved
policies of the republican party were re-
jected, and there followed an era of busi-
ness depression, commercial distress, finan-
cial embarrassment and Injury to labor too
familiar to all, and of greater evil than had
occurred in this country since the close of
the war of the rebellion.
The republican party was restored to pow-
er in 1897 and was confronted with the prob-
lem of rest(^ng to the people of the United
State« a greater and more reasonable meas-
ure of prosperity. To do this President Mc-
Kinley convened congress in session In
eleven days after his Inauguration. The re-
publican party was unable to see how
prosperity could be brought to the laborer
and to business by paying labor in df^proci-
ated currency and transacting business upon
such a basis. Properly to protect labor and
capital and maintain a safe and sound cur-
rency were made the cardinal doctrines of
the party. The revenues of the government,
which had run down until they were far
inadequate to meet the current expenses of
tihe government, gradually began to increase
until they reached a sum equal to the neces-
sary normal current requirements of the
government. Labor, which had been poorly
paid and much of it idle, found employment
at increased wages. In short, the conditions
of the country were so developed that It
was possible that the mass of the people
might become more prosperous. Tb all of
which we point with most commendable
pride.
DEMOCRATIC.
Pledges the party to "the free and un-
limited coinage of both silver and gold at
the present established ratio of 16 to 1, by
independent action of the United States,
without waiting for the consent or permis-
sion of other nations."
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We are uncompromisingly opposed to
banks of Issue under any name or title
whatsoever. Both of the old parties during
their entire existence have both favored and
fathered such labor-robbing Institutions.
We are opposed to the issuance of govern-
ment treasury notes, promises to pay some
body In coin, because that somebody ever
has and ever will be the money changer, a
vile and useless creature who under and by
means of such a system of money has been
the overshadowing curse of all nations in
all ages of the world. Both of the old
parties by virtue of the influences that con-
trol them are eternally pledged to a re-
deemable currency, the one favoring a sin-
gle gold redeemer, the other favoring two
redeemers, silver and gold.
We stand unalterably opposed under any
circumstances to the issuance of interest-
bearing United States bonds. Both of the
old parties are wedded to the bond and
bondage method of raising money.
We believe It to be the right and the duty
of the people in their governmental capacity
to issue full legal-tender paper money In
such amounts as the industrial and business
needs of the country may from time to time
require, and that without any regard what-
ever to the wish or will of a panic-making,
business-paralyzing, labor-enslaving and
man-degrading money trust, composed of
money changers at home or abroad. Both
of the old parties during their entire exist-
ence have been wedded to the single or
double barreled specie basis system of
money, by means of which nothing but gold,
or gold and silver, can be a full legal tender
for debts within the United States.
We demand, as long as either of the
metals Is used as money, the Independent,
fi-ee and unlimited coinage of both sliver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.
INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republicans of Indiana are unreserv-
edly for sound money, and are therefore op-
posed to the heresy to which the democratic
party is wedded of the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, which we regard as absolutely

KANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the principles enunciated in
the national republican platform of 1896 and
direct attention to the fact tnat every prom-
ise has been kept and every prediction has
been verified. We heartily approve the pol-
14^ of President McKinley in the prepara-
tion for and conduct of the war and pledge
to him our loyal support in this contest,
begun as it was at the dictates of humanity
aula waged as it is for the honor of the
nation and the freedom of the oppressed.
DEMOCRATIC.
We. the democrats of Kansas, pledge our
allegiance to the principles of the renewed
democracy which found expression in the
democratic national platform of 1896. We
stand to-day for every principle therein
enunciated and especially for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the
consent of foreign nations. We take special
pleasure in recording our appreciation and
indorsement of the splendid campaign
waged in behalf of people's rights by their
intrepid champion, who stands in merit and
esteem with the historic leaders of democ-
racy, William J. Bryan.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand the free and unlimited coln-
aee of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 of
silver to 1 of gold and the issue of legal-
tender notes good for all debts in preference
to the issue of interest-bearing bonds.
We oppose the issuance of all bonds and
we condemn the republican party for its ac-
tion in fastening upon the people a large
bonded debt ostensibly for war revenue, but
in reality for the perpetuation of the na-
tional banking system.
MAINE.
REPUBLICAN.
Demand **a curren<^ for business and
labor, the soldier and the pensioner, that is'
M good as gold the world over; all neces-
sary legislation in the interest of labor, of
temperance, education and economy in the
state administration."
DEMOCRATIC.
An unqualified indorsement of the pHnd-
Ples of the Chicago platform.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We are opposed to the labor-robbing in-
stitutions known as national banks, and de-
nuKnd that the government alone shall have
the power to issue money and regulate the
▼alue thereof: this money should be a full
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and issued in sumcient volume to
transact the legitimate business of the
wmntry.
The system of issuing bonds in every pub-
lic emergency is most dangerous and per-
nicious and should be strictly prohibited by
the American people.
As long as the barbaric system of metal
ffioney is retained we demand that silver
8i)ould receive the same recognition as gold
and be admitted to our mints for free coin-
age in the ratio of 16 to 1.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
We affirm anew our suppori of sound
naoney. True to the pledge of the St. Louis
platform, the president and congress, ear-
nestly and in good faith, strove to secure
an agreement of the great commercial na-
tions for the coinage of silver and gold at
an established ratio. The attempt has ut-
terly failed. All our currency must rest
upon the single gold standard. Every dollar
must be kept equal in value to the dollar
in gold. All government indebtedness
which, by the terms of the contract, is pay-
able in coin must be paid in gold at the
option of the creditor. We rejoice in the
defeat of the Teller resolution in a repub-
lican house of representatives as the repulse
of an attack upon the integrity of our mone-
tary system and the fair fame of the re-
public.
The time has come for the reform of our
currency in the direction of the ready con-
version of its different forms, each into the
other, and the redemption of all in gold
upon demand, with adequate provision for
the extension of banking facilities to the ag-
ricultural and sparsely settled portions of
the country, to the end that in those sections
capital may be responsive to the demands
of business and lower rates of interest pre-
vail.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democracy of Massachusetts inoorses
and reaffirms with emphasis and profound
conviction the great and patriotic platform
of principles adopted by the party in na-
tional convention at Chicago In 1896. In
that year both political parties, confronted
by a disastrous depression in production and
general business, oy the distress of labor,
y the condition of financial affairs and the
monetary system in particular, declared a
return to bimetallism to be a measure calcu-
lated to remedy the existing evils.
The republican party, impressed with the
importance of the restoration of bimetal-
lism, pledged itself to promote the same by
international agreement, while the demo-
cratic party declared that the United
States, with or without the co-operation of
other nations, should restore the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold.
After two years we find the promises of
the victorious party wholly unfulfilled. The
business of our country is, in reality, in a
more deplorable condition than in 1896. The
promised prosperity has not been realized;
nothing better than a specious local activity
has anywhere appeared. The general in-
dustrial and economic condition runs at
even a lower ebb than when the present
administration was put into power. The
wages of labor have been reduced. Thou-
sands of workingmen have been thrown out
of employment in the dead of winter; other
thousands are working on part time and are
struggling desperately with adverse condi-
tions.
The futile policy of the republican admin-
istration in sending a commission to Europe
to secure international bimetallism and at
the same time in thwarting and bringing to
naught every effort of that commission and
in making its success impossible has re-
vealed the predetermined purpose of the re-
publican party to violate Its pledges to the
American people and to prevent bimetallism
in any form, not only in the United States,
but throughout the world.
The democratic party, with a conviction
and persistency which have now been con-
firmed by the observation and experience of
two additional years of disaster, again de-
mands the return to bimetallism by restor-
ing silver and gold to coinage at the ratio
which was maintained during so many pros-

tbe campaign entitle him to the lasting
gratitude of the people.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our attachment and loyalty
to the principles of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Bryan.
We reaffirm and indorse the principles
laid down In the platform of the national
repablican convention which met in Min-
neapolis in 1892, which declared as follows:
**The American people, from tradition and
interest, favor bimetallism. The republican
party demands the use of both gold and
silver as standard money."
We denounce and repudiate the humilia-
ting and degenerate doctrine of the national
republican platform, adopted at St. Louis
in 1896, dictated by the gold monopoly forces
of the world and the great trusts and cor-
porations which contributed so liberally to
its campaign fund, to the effect that the
gold standard mnst be maintained in this
country until foreign nations consent to our
use of silver as standard money.
MISSOURI.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our faith in the declaration
of principles of the republican party of 189S,
and in this connection we call the attention
of the people to the fact that the national
administration, under the control and with
the support of the republican party, has
faithfully redeemed every pledge in that
platform; has restored the public credit,
dispelled panic and depression, revived in-
dustry and trade, reopened the factories
and workshops of the nation, renewed and
restored enterprise and production, and
given full protection to American citizens
and American interests at home and abroad,
Inspired the American people with renewed
hope and new and honorable aspirations,
and has again demonstrated that tne repub-
lican party is the party of progrress, entitled
to the confidence of the people and furnish-
ing In its administration of public affairs
the surest proof of the stability and success
of free Institutions.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democrats of Missouri reindorse the
national platform adopted at Chicago in
1896, and especially do we renew our de-
mand.for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation, and this demand we espe-
oiallv emphasize at this time by reasserting
our belief that the money question is and
will remain the most important of all po-
litical questions affecting the prosperity and
happiness of our people until it is finally
settled by the restoration of bimetallic coin-
age in accordance with our demand. And
we declare our unswerving confidence in Col.
William J. Bryan as the leading exponent
of the foregoing principles.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Resolved, That we favor the issue of full
legal-tender paper money to pay the ex-
penses of the Spanish-American war, and
that we are unalterably opposed to the is-
sue of interest-bearing bonds either in time
of war or peace.
MONTANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse without reservation or excep-
tion the declaration of principles adopted
by the last national republican convention
as promising wise policies of public action
and bringing to the country a prosperity
which we have not heretofore known.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democrats of Montana in state con-
vention assembled reaffirm their belief in the
great principles of Jeffersonian democracy
as expressed in the Chicago platform. They
declare that the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is the para-
mount issue of American politics to-day.
They enthusiastically and loyally accept
and support the leadership of William J.
Bryan, whose record meets their entire ap-
probation and admiration.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in and devotion to
the principle of bimetallism as expressed in
the aeclaration for the free coinage of silver
and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1 by the inde-
?endent action of the United States, and
hat we firmly believe the only method
through which this desirable result can be
attained and the country placed on a basis
of permanent prosperity is the policy of a
fusion of the silver forces so clearly and
ably outlined by William J. Bryan and
other national leaders in the movement for
the restoration of silver as money of ulti-
mate redemption.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the payment of our soldiers and
sailors in the same money paid bondholders.
We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the
principles enunciated in the republican na-
tional platform of 1896. We are in favor of
the maintenance of the present gold stand-
ard and unalterably opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are proud to belong to a party that
acknowledges as its chieftain and leader the
Hon. W. J. Bryan, the people's champion,
whom arm is ever lifted in defense of their
rights and in redressing their wrongs wheth-
er in peace or in war.
We renew our allegiance to the principles
taught by Thomas Jefferson and courageous-
ly defended by Andrew Jackson, and we de-
mand that the great political problems of
to-day be solved by the application of these
principles to the present conditions; and,
therefore, reaffirm our adherence to the
platform of 1896, adopted by the democratic
party in aational convention assembled.
And that the paramount issue of the cam-
paign of 1900 ought and will be the restora-
tion of our monetary system to its position
prior to 1873, the free and unlimited coinage
of the two metals at the ratio of 16 to i,
and believe that no permanent prosperity
will reward the efforts of our producers
until such a law is enacted.
We believe that all money issued by the
government, whether gold, silver or paper,
should be made a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that no cit-
izen should be permitted to demonetize by
contract that wnich the government makes
money by law.
We further declare that we are opposed
to banks of issue, and demand that all
money, whether gold, silver or paper, shall
be issued by the national government.
While always willing and ready to furnish

for the support of the nation in her hour of
peril eyery dollar of our property and every
possible assistance, both in money and men,
the democratic party is opposed to the is-
suance of interest-bearing bonds except as
a last resort, but is in favor of the issu-
ance of full legal-tender money, and we hold
the recent issue of $200,000,000 of bonds un-
necessary under the circumstances and
therefore condenm it.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaflarm the principles set forth In the
party platform at our last state convention,
and we take no backward step on the
money question. We are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and sil-
ver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the consent of any other
nation on earth.
Maintaining and supporting republican
principles upon the question of gold and sli-
ver as money as advocated by the old repub-
lican party until its repudiation of those
principles at 8t. Louis in 1896, we renew
our loyalty to the principles thus repudiated
at the behest of tne money power, and de-
clare, as formerly declared ny the old re-
publican party and its honored leaders and
accepted as good republican doctrine, as
well as a doctrine as old as the national
constitution itself, that we are In favor of
the use of both gold and silver as money,
and we condemn the policy of the gold-
standard republican administration In its
efforts to demonetize silver.
Silver is the money of the constltntion ;
indeed, the money of the American people
anterior to the constitution, which the great
organic law recognized as quite independent
of its own existence. The people are too
intelligent to permit values to be measured
in gold alone. This would make money
dearer and property cheaper. We are for
the largest nse of silver in the currency of
the country. We would not dishonor it; we
would give it equal credit and honor with
gold; we would make no discrimination; we
would utilize both metals and discredit
neither; we want the double standard. Sil-
ver, until a few years ago, was money the
wide world over. Silver was one of the
standard coins of the United States from
the birth of Independence until demone-
tization crept into the statute of congress,
either by fraud or mistake.
NEVADA.
REPUBLICAN.
Resolved, That we reiterate oar faith In
and devotion to the great republican prin-
ciples of bimetallism, protection and reci-
procity. We are firmly convinced that the
final adjustment of the money question must
come by and through the republican party.
The party is pledged to bimetallism. We
therefore declare that the settlenient of this
important question may safely be left to
the great republican party of the nation.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We reiterate with emphasis that the
financial question is the paramount issue
and demand the free and unrestricted coin-
age of silver and gold at the American ratio
of 16 to 1.
We denounce in unmeasured terms the ac-
tion of the republican party and the demo-
cratic party In advocating the redemption
of legal tenders in gold or in coin, and we
demand that all United States money,
whether of gold, silver or paper, be made a
full legal tender without any exception
clause whatever.
The recent bond issue was one of the most
atrocious financial acts of the nineteenth
century, and the indecent haste with which
the administration Issued the bonds when
the treasury was already overflowing with
lawful money proves conclusively that Wall
street and the bondholders have an nnfatr
and corrupt influence over the treasury de-
partment.
The so-called gold reserve is a disguise to
our financial power and boundless resources,
and we demand that it be abolished.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REPUBLICAN.
The repablicans of New Hampshire reaf-
firm the St. Louis platform, especially in-
dorsing the gold standard as therein pro-
vided, and congratulate the people upon the
speedy fulfillment of its important pledges.
DEMOCRATIC.
We, the democrats of New Hampshire, re-
affirm the principles of the democratic party
as announced in the national conventions
since the foundation of the party. We em-
phatically declare our admiration tor and
confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of
our great leader, William J. Bryan.
NEW JEBSBT.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse the national platform of 1896
and * 'specifically declare our undying oppo-
sition to any proposition to debase the na-
tional currency, a proposition so repugnant
that the voters of New Jersey buried it un-
der an unprecedented majority of 87,000
when they declared in favor of the repre-
sentatives of national honor and honesty,
McKinley and Hobart."
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and fiexible. issued by general gov-
ernment only, a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that without
the nse of banking corporations, a just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu-
tion direct to the people at a tax nofei to ex-
ceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided
as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of tb«>
Farmers' alliance, or a better system; also
by payments in discharge of its obligatiODS
for public Improvements.
We demand that the amount of circula
ting medium be speedily Increased to not
less than $60 per capita.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
We renew onr allegiance to the doctrines
of the St. Louis#platform. We continue to
condemn and resist the democratic policies
declared at Chicago. The organised demo-
cratic party of the nation adheres to these
policies of free silver and free trade, and
denies the right of the courts and of the
government to protect persons and prop^ty
from violence. On the coming 8th of No-
vember we are to elect not only our state
officers, but also representatives in conness
and members of our state legislature. Tniat

legislature, in its turn, will elect a United
States senator to succeed the present demo-
cratic senotor from this state.
The election of republican members of
congress and of a republican state legisla-
ture will mean that New York will stand
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and for such a revision of the currency laws
as will guarantee to the labor of the coun-
try that every promise to pay a dollar, is-
sued under the authority of the United
States, shall be of absolute and equal value
with a gold dollar always and everywhere.
NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of North Carolina
renews its allegiance to the principles and
policies set forth in the national repub-
lican platform adopted at St. Louis in 1896;
and we point with pride and enthusiasm to
the triumphant vindication of those prin-
ciples and policies under the wise and
splendid administration of William McKin-
ley.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for its
defeat of the Teller resolutions declaring
our national bonds payable in silver as well
as gold, and denounce it for its determined
purpose of more thoroughly fastening the
single gold standard upon our people, and
for its avowed hostility lo the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, as well as gold,
at the ratio of 16 to 1, into full legal-tender
money.
We denounce the republican party for its
determination to issue bonds at this time,
and we denounce the republican war tax
bill which lately passed the house of repre-
sentatives as unjust, unequal in its burdens,
unnecessary and vexatious, and we demand
that the silver seignoirage be coined, that
tfn income tax be levied, and that the sec-
retary of the treasury be authorized to is-
sue tne necessary amount of full legal-ten-
der greenbacks, or United States treasury
notes, in order to meet the expenses of the
war with Spain and to supply the revenue
deficit under the Dingley law.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We believe that all money demands should
be payable in the lawful money of the
United States without preference or dis-
crimination, and therefore favor the pas-
sage by the general assembly of a law to
Krohiblt the taking or giving of gold notes,
onds and mortgages in this state, and to
make all the money demands solvable in
any kind of lawful money of the United
States.
We condemn the present national admin-
istration for its efforts to fasten upon the
people and future generations the burden of
interest-bearing bonds and for indorsing and
carrying out the infamous bond and monop-
oly policy of the preceding administration
of Grover Cleveland.
We commend the action of the populists,
silver republicans and silver democrats in
congress for their wise, brave and patriotic
course in solidly co-operating to strike out
the bond provision of the pending war rev-
enue bill and to substitute therefor an issue
of greenbacks and the coinage of the silver
seigniorage to carry on the war.
NORTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
Money being an instrument of internation-
al concern, we are unalterably opposed to
the independent free coinage of silver. The
currency of the American people is now and
should continue to be the best in the world,
and the parity of all forms of money should
be maintained by wise and conservative
laws. We favor the use of both gold and
silver as the standard of all commercial
countries, and indorse the efforts of the re-
publican administration to promote the
policy of bimetallism under agreement with
the civilized nations of the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaflSrm our belief in and adherence
to the great principles of the democratic
party as laid down in the democratic plat-
form at the Chicago national convention of
1896. _^
OHIO.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the declaration of facts and
principles adopted by the eleventh national
republican convention at St. Louis June 17,
1896.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the platform of principles
adopted at Chicago by the democrats at
their convention in July, 1896. And we par-
ticularly reaffirm and indorse the financial
plank therein, declaring for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, independent of any and all
other nations.
NATIONAL LIBERTY PARTY.
All money should be Issued by the general
government onlv, and without the interven-
tion of any private citizen, corporation or
banking institution. It should be based
upon the wealth, stability and Integrity of
the nation. It should be a full legal tender
for all debts, public and private, and should
be of sufficient volume to meet the demands
of the legitimate business interests of the
country. For the purpose of honestly liqui-
dating our outstanding coin obligations we
favor the free and unllmitfHl coinage of both
silver and gold, at a ratio of 16 to 1, without
consulting any other nation. As a partial
remedy for our financial troubles we declare
for postal savings banks.
OREGON.
REPUBLICAN.
We are in favor of the maintenance of the
present gold standard; we are unquallJiedly
opposed to the free coinage of silver and to
all other schemes looking to the debasement
of the currency and the repudiation of debt.
We believe that the best money in the world
is none too good to be assured by the gov-
ernment to the laborer as the fruit of his
toll and to the farmer as the price of his
crop. We condemn the continued agitation
for free silver as calculated to jeopardize
the prosperity of the country and to shake
the confidence of the people in the mainte-
nance of a wise financial policy; we particu-
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts of
the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section against section;
we declare that the Interests ot all classes

"We distinctly reaflarm our position In
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
atl-ver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and our unal-
terable opposition to the issue of interest-

We are opposed to banks of issue and in

TENNESSEE.
REPUBLICAN.
As to the national issues, we heartily in-
dorse the platform adopted by the national
republican conyention held at St. Louis,
1896, and reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples therein, declared.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hereby indorse the enunciation of
Srinciples contained in the democratic plat-
orm adopted by the national democratic
conyention at Chicago in 1896, it being a
true expression of the democratic creed.
'We especially reaffirm our demand for the
restitution of the money of the constitution
by a law proyiding for the free and unlim-
ited coinage of gold and silyer at a ratio of
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation.
We oppose the increase of the public debt
by the issuance of interest-bearing bonds
and condemn the action of the present re-
publican administration in the issuance of
such bonds instead of treasury warrants,
which warrants would furnish a circulating
medium and would be taxable, while inter-
est-bearing bonds are not taxable and will
not circulate as currency.
We demand that all obligations of tbe
United States shall be discharged according
to the terms of the contract In either gold
or silver at the option of the goyernment
and not at the option of the creditor.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the cause of
tbe free coinage of silyer at the ratio of 16
to 1, independent of the action of any other
nation, as fully det out in our first Utah
state conyention platform, upon which we
elected the present goyemor and other state
officers.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the principles declared in the
democratic platform adopted in Chicago for
1896. The imperatlye necessity of the use
of both gold and silyer for the purposes of
money throughout the world is generally
conceaed. The use of both is essential to
the welfare and happiness of mankind. The
re-establishment of such use is of such yital
importance that no ordinary difficulty
should be permitted to stand in the way of
its attainment. It is generally acknowl-
edged that without botn gold and silver
people must sink in the scale of happiness
ana civilization. They must languish In
poverty. They must continue to struggle in
vain to better their condition. They must
toil on without even the hope of adequate
reward. Yet it is said that for this pervad-
ing, flagrant wrong there is and can be no
remedy without the aid and consent of those
who are and will remain deaf to all appeals
for relief. It is true that at this time there
is a right which cannot be made to prevail,
a wrong for which there is no remedy.
Have the maxims of our race proved false?
There is a remedy. It is declared in the
national platform of the democratic party,
to which we now declare our steadfast de-
votion. That remedy is the enactment of a
law by the congress of the United States
providing for the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of
other nations, such consent being notori-
ously impossible to obtain; and that such
coin be legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Believing that this nation is caimble of
passing and enforcing its own laws, we de-
mand a law opening the mints to the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio of 16 to 1.
We demand that the money of this coun-
try be speedily increased by the Issuing of
legal-tender notes to an amount sufficient to
transact the business of the countiy upon a
cash basis, and that all money, gold, silver
or paper, be made a full legal tender for ail
debts, thereby making "every dollar as good
as every other dollar."
TEXAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples laid down by the St. Louis platform
in 1896, and we particularly announce that
we are unreservedly for sound money.
We heartily indorse the action and course
of President McKlnley and the administra-
tion since their inauguration. They have
inspired universal confidence, restored nor-
mal conditions in American industrial life
and developed an industrial prosperity of
unexampled proportions.
DEMOCRATIC.
We indorse In every particular the plat-
form adopted by the national democratic
conyention of Chicago in 1896, but we espe-
cially commend and approve the declara-
tions in favor of an Income tax, against the
?ower of banks to issue money, for a tariff
or revenue that will operate without dis-
crimination against classes or sections and
for the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with full
legal-tender qualities and without reference
to the action of other governments.
We declare that the present war excite-
ment cannot and shall not obscure the
money question, upon which the fight in
1900 will be chiefly made, and that tbe in-
terest now being taken in tbe 2.000,000 peo-
ple of Cuba and Puerto Rico must not de-
tract from the vital interest of the 75,000,000
of our own people.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our loyalty to the cardinal
principles of the republican party as enun-
ciated in the platform of the national con-
vention at St. Louis In 1896, especially to
the doctrines of protection and sound money,
and our confidence is unshaken that this
party, which represents the mind and heart
and conscience of the American people, will
wisely settle the tremendous questions of
American policy as they confront us.
DEMOCRATIC.
We, the democrats of Vermont, declare
our adherence to the principles of democracy

formulated by Jefferson, exemplified by a
long line of democratic statesmen since bis
time and crystallized in the platform adopt-
ed by the democratic national convention at
Chicago In 1896.
We lift aloft the unstained banner of the
Vermont democracy and emphasize our un-
swerving loyalty to the money of the con-
stitution, the money of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Jaclcson and the long line of illustrious
American statesmen; the money that
brought prosperity and contentment to this
country for eighty years is the mon^y that
will restore prosperity to business and a
sufferljag people. The man who calmly de-
liberates Is the man who will be impressed
with the fact that the money standard of
the Rothschilds, Morgans, Belmonts, Goulds
and Sages is the standard these money bar-
ons have purposely designed for their selfish
upbuilding, and not to confer blessings upon
the tolling and producing masses who plain-
ly note their downward progress.
The Vermont democracy takes especial
pride in expressing its undiminished ad-
miration of and confidence in William J.
Bryan, whose unanswerable logic so clearly
voices the principles and benefits of that
government which confers the greatest good
upon the greatest number of people.
WASHINGTON.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the existing gold standard and
oppose the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
DEMOCRATIC.
The act of 1873 demonetizing silver was
surreptitious, passed without the approval
or knowledge of the American people. This
Infamous act demonetizing silver has cfiused
the steady appreciation of gold, a corre-
sponding fall in the prices of commodities
?iroduced by the people, a heavy increase in
he burden of all debts, public and private,
the enrichment of the money-lending class,
the paralysis of industry and the impover-
ishment of the people.
We therefore renew our demand for the
free and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation. We demand that stand-
ard silver dollars shall be full legal tender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public and
private, and we favor such legislation as
will prevent for the future the demonetiza-
tion of any kind of legal-tender money by
private contract.
FUSION.
We demand the re-establishment of bi-
metallism by return to the free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and sllv«;r into
money at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the action of any other
nation.
We demand that our money shall be issued
by the government only, without the Inter-
vention of banks of issue, as full legal ten-
der for all debts, public and private; that
the volume of the circulating medium shall
be sufiScient to meet the requirements of
the country, for the purpose of restoring
and maintaining a Just level of prices for
labor and commodities, to the realization of
all of which we pledge our representatives
in congress.
We demand that there shall be no forttier
issue of United States interest-bearing
bonds.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the declaration in the St.
Louis national republican platform for the
maintenance of the gold standard and the
parity of our forms of money should be en-
acted into law, and the money of the Amer-
ican people should be made and kept, like
all its institutions; the best in the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We affirm our allegiance to the demo-
cratic principles, justice, liberty and equal-
ity, upon which our institutions are founded
and which the democratic party has advo-
cated from Jefferson's time to our own, aiid
we declare our firm devotion to demo-
cratic principles as enunciated in the Chi-
cago platform of 1896.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The issue jof all money by the government
directly to the people in connection with
government savings banks. We hold that
the issue is not so much between gold and
silver, but whether the money of the coun-
try shall be controlled by the government or
by private banking corporations.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the declaration of facts and
principles adopted by the eleventh national
republican convention at St. Louis, July 17,
1896.
The financial policy of the ret>ubllcan
party having brought prosperity to the en-
tire country and given us a place among the
nations of the earth and enabled us to con-
duct successfully a foreign war, we there-
fore unhesitatingly reaffirm the financial
plank of the platform as expressed by the
national convention at St. Louis.
THE WAB AKS FOKEION POLIOT.
ALABAMA.
DEMOCRATIC.
Standing *'to arms" as we do to-day, we
pledge our lives and sacred honor to the
cause of our country, for its defense, for
the maintenance of its honor and prestige
and for its support in any conflict with a
foreign foe.
ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
To the army and navy of the restored
union we send greetings and express our
entire appreciation of the patriotic and he-
roic feeling which has prompted their en-
listment, our sincere sympatny with their
trials and sacrifices, our deep and profound
interest in their movements, our resolve to
honor and applaud their services and our
anxiety to welcome their triumphant return.

SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the
conclusion of a war whose purpose was the
highest that eyer impelled a nation to take
up arms, and whose record of glory on land
and sea has never been surpassed In history.
We declare that the war was waged in def-
erence to the demand of the liberty-loving
people of this country, whose sympathies
were aroused by the sufTering of the people
of Cuba under the barbarous misgovern-
ment of Spain; that it was an American
war, and that the attempt manifested In
some quarters to claim it as the property
of a certain political party in this country
is not creditable to the patriotism of those
who make it.
We declare our belief In the mission of
the people of the United States as the evan-
gel of liberty and self-government to the
nations of the world, and In their ability to
discbarge all of the reHponsibilltles which
the fortunes of war have thrust upon them.
Wherever the flag waves it shall be a sym-
bol of civilized freedom and to all men who
gaze upon its folds a guaranty of the In-
alienable rights of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness,
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Recognizing that the recent war with
Spain for the liberation of Cuba has
thrown upon our nation the resi>onsibility
for the protection of millions of people de-
based by centuries of inhumanity; there-
fore, recognizing the injustice Involved In
the return of these people to the conditions
from which the United States has been the
instrument of their release, we favor the
retention and government of these islands
over which our flag now floats and where
our heroic dead lie buried, until such a
time as a majority of the people of these
respective countries shall express a desire
to establish a government of their own.
CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
It [the party] approves the annexation
of Hawaii and is In favor of acquiring and
controlling such additional lands, naval sta-
tions and harbors as will enable us at all
times to give the most complete protection
to our growing commerce with Asia and
the countries of the far east.
DEMOCRATIC.
We call attention to the fact that while a
successful war in the cause of a common
people adds fresh glory to their flag the
management of the various war depart-
ments has chilled our exultation and
brought home to us a sense of shame.
The American sailor and soldier have done
their full duty, but the administration of
President McKinley has been utterly In-
competent to discharge the obligations
which the management of the war imposed.
Incompetency and venality In places of high
trust have brought disgrace upon the ad-
ministration and aroused the ire of an in-
dignant people.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe in the maintenance of an army
and navy sufficient to assert and maintain
the rights of our nation aod all its citisens
against the encroachments of other nations.
We believe that our seacoasts should be
thoroughly fortified in the best manner.
We believe that the United States should
keep all territory either surrendered to it or
captured by its forces in the late war wltn
Spain.
we congratulate the nation on the annex-
ation of the Hawaiian Islands. While we
congratulate the nation upon the completion
of the war with Spain, we demand that
there shall be a vigorous, thorough and
honest investigation by a competent and
impartial tribunal of the alleged disgrace-
ful and incompetent management of our
war department, whereby the lives of many
of our brave soldiers and sailors were need-
lessly sacrificed, and whereby the men who
so cheerfully went forth to fight the na-
tion's battles were without cause com-
pelled to suffer great distress, discomfort,
misery, starvation, sickness and death, and
that the guilty parties, whoever they may
be. be properly punished.
We believe that the Nicaragua canal
should 10^ built and controlled by the United
States government.
DEMOCRATIC'
We heartily congratulate ourselves and
the country on the happy ending of the war
with Spain, and, now that its declared end
has been accomplished, we demand that the
country as quickly as possible be restored
to the conditions of peace and that the bur-
dens of war taxation be lessened. t
FLORIDA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We rejoice in the brilliant successes at-
tained by the American sailors and soldiers
in the present war with Spain, and glory
in the fact that the last vestige of sectional
feeling has been swept away forever as we
have assembled on the call of the nation as
one people to meet a foreign foe, and that
henceforth we shall know no north, no
south, no east, no west, but shoulder to
shoulder, with the star-spangled banner
waving over us and the love of country in-
spiring us, we shall onward march to the
high destiny among the people of the earth
for which the God of nations intended us.
We condemn the policy of insular ter-
ritorial expansion upon which the adminis-
tration at Washington has embarked as
unwise, un-American, unjust to the masses
of our people, and especially to the labor-
ing and producing classes, and as dan-
gerous to our free institutions; and we
pledge the democracy of the state of Florida
to the opposition of the same. Whereas
the present war with Spain was inaugurated
for the declared purpose of aiding the Cu-
ban patriots in their struggle for liberty
and in the efforts to establish a free gov-
ernment, and we have solemnly announced
to the world that we have no intention to
annex the Island of Cuba to the United
States; and whereas war at best is un-
Christianlike, demoralizing in its tendencies
and a drain upon all the resources of the
country; therefore, when the declared ob-
jects of the present war shall be accom-
plished it will be the duty of the govern-
ment to grant peace on terms just to this
government and honorable to our people,
and in the adjustment of such terms of
UTTERANCES OP STATE CONVENTIONS.
207
Et^ace Cuba shoald be left free by this gov-
ernment and untrammeled by our army and
nary to establish, by the free action of her
people, a free and independent goyernment
of its own; the democrats of Florida will
support the administration in all its efforts
to conduct the present war to an early,
honorable and satisfactory close, and it
would be an act of bad faith on the part
of our goyernment and a blot upon our
ciyillzatlon for us, as a result, either di-
rectly or Indirectly, of the war, to annex
the island of Cuba to the United States, and
thus to rob the Cubans of that free and in-
dependent government for which they have
fought so long.
GEORGIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We affirm that the cause for which the
United States is at present engaged in war
with Spain is just and righteous. Without
regard to political division, all loyal and
patriotic citizens of the republic should
unite in the support of the common cause
represented by tne flag, and it is with pride
that we point to the record of the demo-
cratic party, made through its senators and
representatives, in having been the tirst to
urge in behalf of freedom and humanity ac-
tive measures looking to the suppression of
Spanish oppression in the West Indies.
There is cause for universal congratulation
in the fact that the patriotic uprising of
the whole people has obliterated sectional-
ism from the politics of our country, and
while the people of the south unite with
those of the north in cordial enthusiasm
over the marvelous victory of Dewey in an-
nihilating Spain's Asiatic fleet it is grati-
fying to observe that those of the north are
no less cordial in bestowing praise and com-
mendation upon the heroic deeds of the two
brave young southerners— Bagley and Hob-
son— who, with their intrepid comrades,
have won distinction which will render
their names immortal and add new luster to
the American navy.
As to the incidental questions that will
arise as the result of the war, we believe
that the people can safely be trusted to dis-
pose of every such question in a manner
which will be in keeping with the spirit of
our institutions and in harmony with the
principles and record of the democratic
party. This countiy should first address its
undivided attention and throw its full en-
ergy to securing decisive results in the war
with Spain, rather than engage in political
controversy over issues which are yet un-
shaped, and which. In the nature of things,
cannot be Intelligently discussed until the
termination of the war.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the nation upon the suc-
cessful issue of the war with Spain, pros-
ecuted under the direction of William Mc-
Kinley, commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the United States, with the loyal
support of the brave volunteers on both land
and sea. We declare our hearty approval
of the terms demanded of Spain by our
president as the conditions of restored
peace. And we declare our full and com-
{>lete confidence In the patriotism and abil-
ty of the republican administration to
make such Just and- wise provisions touch-
ing the government and control of our new-
ly acquired territory as will best accord
with the policy of our government and the
best interests of all the people. And we
declare our full faith and confidence In the
patriotism and wisdom of the republican
administration so to conduct the affairs of
the nation, both at home and abroad, that
the prosperity of our people and the honor
of our flag will reach the highest mark to
which our institutions entitle us to aspire.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare our unfaltering allegiance to
the Monroe doctrine and are strenuously op-
posed to the annexation of Cuba, believing
that the inhabitants of that island shoula
be given the opportunity of self-government.
We also advocate the retention of all ter-
ritory acquired by American valor in the
war waged for humanity, always provided
the people to be governed yield their con-
sent.
We pronounce the war with Spain Justi-
fied by every consideration of Justice and
sound national policy. We congratulate the
democratic minority In congress for its
firm stand In demanding the redress of our
national honor and indorse the declaration
of war on Spain and glory in its results.
We rejoice in the glorious deeds of valor
of our soldiers and sailors and greatly de-
plore the fatalities and injuries which have
so far resulted, and we favor the adoption
of the most liberal policy toward the sick
and wounded and the families of the slain.
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the present war with
Spain is a righteous and just cause. We
rejoice that the American people are a unit
in sustaining the government and that the
spirit of patriotism has swept away the last
vestige of sectional feeling.
We pledge to the president the earnest
support of the state or Illinois in the prose-
cution of the war to a triumphant close.
The United States should hold all the pos-
sessions it has conquered and may conquer
from Spain until the Spanish government
has agreed and given security that it will
pay the United States an indemnity for this
affair, which might have been avoided had
Spain been humane; also that the United
States hold such possessions in the con-
quered territory as shall be advantageous to
its interests in tim^s of war and peace.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the Monroe doctrine and again
pledge ourselves to abide by the advice of
Washington, "to keep ourselves free from
entangling alliances with foreign nations."
INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
While we sincerely deplore the necessity
of war, we believe the president and con-
gress acted wisely In demanding the com-
plete withdrawal of Spanish sovereignty
from the island of Cuba and in proceeding
to enforce the demand with the military and
naval power of the government. And now
that our army and navy, through their
splendid achievements, have blessed our na-

tion with triumphs tiot excelled in the
world's history, rendering many names
illustrious and immortal, and adding pres-
tige and glory, limited only by ciyilization,
to our great republic, the occasion is one of
supreme gratitude to the great Ruler of na-
tions.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the country on the uni-
versal patriotic uprising which has swept
away the last vestige of sectionalism and
revealed us to the world as a united people.
We rejoice in the heroic deeds of Dewey,
Bagley, Hobson and their brave comrades,
which have added new luster to the Amer-
ican name. We demand, now as heretofore,
the most vigorous prosecution of the war
until it shall have ended in vindication of
the national honor, the absolute relinquish-
ment by Spain of possession or control of
any part of the western hemisphere, and
the formal acknowledgment by that king-
dom of the independence of the Cuban re-
public. We favor the prompt recognition by
the United States of such independence as
a war measure and as an act of justice to
a brave people struggling for freedom. We
urge the immediate increase of the volun-
teer force? of our army and navy to any ex-
tent necessary to assure speedy and decisive
results, and the appropriation of all the
funds requisite for the adequate equipment
and support and for the comfort of our
gallant soldiers and sailors in armed con-
flict against the public enemy. The supreme
duty of the hour is to relieve the perishing
victims of Spanish cruelty and secure the
complete triumph of the national arms.
When this shall nave been accomplished the
Justice and wisdom of the American people
may be safely trusted to deal with all ques-
tions which may grow out of existing com-
plications, in such a way as best to pro-
mote the objects for which this republic was
founded.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the upbuilding of the American
merchant marine, the speedy construction
of the Nicaragua canal, the securing of
naval and coaling stations and the protec-
tion of American rights In every quarter
of the world with an adequate navy.
The republican party, under whose policies
and administration prosperity has be€?n re-
stored and a foreign war successfully con-
ducted, has earned the right to be further
intrusted with the task of solving the ter-
ritorial, colonial and commercial problems
that have resulted from the war.
It is due to the cause of humanity and
civilization, for which the war with Spain
was fought, that no people who have in
consequence thereof been freed from op-
pression shall, with the consent or through
the indifference of the United States, be re-
turned to such oppression or permitted to
lapse Into barbarism.
DEMOCRATIC.
The war with Spain was necessary and
undertaken In the interest of humanity, and
we commend the action of the democrats
in congress who voted ample supplies for
prosecuting it to a successful conclusion.
We demand that the solemn declarations
as to the purposes of the war be faithfully
carried out by the government. We glory in
the valor of the soldiers and sailors of the
army and navy and rejoice in their unex-
ampled victory on land and sea. The con-
gress provided amply in money to furnish
them supplies and the best of care when
they became disabled by wounds or disease,
and we denounce the criminal incompetency
and negligence of the agents of the govern-
ment who have caused them to suf^r and
die In camp and hospitals for the lack of
care which b\imanity and justice denaand.
And we Insist upon a speedy, searching and
impartial investigation to the end that the
guilty may be exposed and fittingly pun-
We express our unbounded admiration of
the patriotic, self-sacrificing courage of the
soldiers who enlisted but were not sent to
the front, as well as those who faced shot
and shell and deadly disease on foreign soil,
and we hold that all are equally deserving
of the love and gratitude of the republic.
While recognizing the Importance and de-
manding the maintenance of an effective
navy, we hold that militarism Is a menacei
to free Institutions and we oppose any
policy which will supply a reason or a pre-
text for supporting a large standing army In
time of peace.
The immortal Washington, few profound
reasons, wisely warned his countrymen
against entangling foreign alliances. The
admonition is as pertinent as when it was
uttered a century ago. Therefore, while
sincerely desiring friendly relations with all I
nations, we earnestly protest against alll-fi
ance with any.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We are not in favor of adding to our
population millions of Asiatics in far-off
islands to compete in the field of labor, with
our own producers and wage-earners.
PROHIBITION. u
While we believe in arbitration as the |
best means of settling international diffi-
culties, and we deplore the causes which
have led to the present war with Spain, and
while we hope for a speedy termination of
said war, we pledge our loyalty to our gov-
ernment in the present crisis, and we ear-
nestly hope for the day when the govern-
ment will intervene to rid our home land of
the cruel rule of the saloon.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We indorse the present war with Spain
upon the sentiment expressed In the joint
resolution of the American congress that
"the people of the island of Cuba are, and
of right ought to be, free and independent, '-
and we demand that the same be conducted
upon that theory. To this end we therefore
Insist upon a vigorous prosecution and
speedy termination of the war and the es-
tablishment of peace and local government
upon the island.
We cannot consent that this war, com-
menced for the relief of suffering humanity
there, shall be made a pretext for the main-
tenance of a large standing army, or for
territorial aggrandizement, or the cultiva-
tion of a vainglorious military spirit with
attendant burdens of increased taxation,
perpetual interest-bearing debt and Inevi-
table tendency toward monarchlcid govern-
ment.

diately strengthened and enlarged so that it
will command and compel the respect of the
world. We believe that the necessities of
war have supplemented the arguments of
peace and that the Nicaragua canal should
be built as speedily as possible. We believe
that the Hawaiian islands should be an-
nexed and we urge our representatives in
congress to support the resolution providing
for their immediate acquisition.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are in favor of a vigorous prosecution
of the present war with Spain, a"hd see in
it not only the passing of Cuba from des-
potism to freedom but for ourselves a more
advanced place among the nations of the
world and a broader commercial horizon.
The American navy should be greatly en-
larged and in its wake our merchant marine,
ander new tariff laws, should open the
world's markets to American buyers and
sellers, and rights should be reserved in all
territory conquered during the war to facil-
itate and protect such extended commercial
interests, but with no view to territorial
aggrandizement nor the establishment of a
colonial policy for this government. We
congratulate our state that she was the first
to respond to the president's call with her
fnll quota of volunteers, and assure our
Kansas soldiers that in this righteous bat-
tle for human rights they will be followed
through the march, the bivouac and the bat-
tlefield by the hopes and prayers of their
fellow-dtizens at home.
PROHIBITION.
In behalf of liberty and humanity we are
In fullest sympathy with the action of con-
gress touching Spain's long and continued
and cruel oppression of Cuba.
MAINE.
DEMOCRATIC.
While we deprecate the horrors of war. It
is now the duty of all to give their aid and
support In order to bring to a successful
termination the present conflict, and we do
hereby pledge our cordial support to all
snch measures as are necessary to ac-
complish the purpose for which this war
was instituted.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The present war with Spain, If conducted
for the liberation of the Cuban people, is
just and humane, but it should not be pro-
longed for the benefit of contractors and
money-lenders.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
The war with Spain, undertaken by the
United States from the highest motives,
lias been justified in the Intelligence and
compassion of mankind. Our brilliant vic-
tories have brought us solemn obligations
and grave responsibilities, for we cannot, in
the interest of honor, humanity or civiliza-
tion, return to Spain the peoples whom we
have freed from her tyranny.
The people of Massachusetts do not pro-
pose to abandon the ancient doctrines of re-
publican liberty, upon which the common-
w^tth 'and the country are builded, and by
which the American people have grown to
be without a rival among the nations in
wealth, i>ower and happiness. What they
enjoy themselves they desire shall be en-
joyed by all other peoples, especially by
those whom the valor of our soldiers and
sailors have wrested from Spain, and whose
destiny must now be determined by the
United States alone.
While we would not interfere with the
diplomatic negotiations now in progress, we
desire that they be so conducted and ter-
minated as to secure to the Philippine is-
lands and to Cuba in amplest measure the
blessings of liberty and self-government.
The building of the Nicaragua canal, con-
trolled and operated by the United States,
is now imperative. Our i)08se8sions in the
Caribbean sea, the annexation of Hawaii,
our position in the Philippine islands and
the notable voyage of the Oregon have
made Its necessity clear to all. We confi-
dently look to congress for the early under-
taking of this work and its completion wlthf
all reasonable dispatch. **
DEMOCRATIC^
We note with alarm and indignation the
perversion of the powers and purposes of
our republic from its true end and aim as
prescribed by the fathers. We mark the
stealthy approach and insinuation of Eu-
ropean methods in place of the democratic
methods which alone distinguish the Amer-
ican republic from despotism of foreign
lands. We reaffirm the patriotic policy of
the "father of his country," as declared In
his farewell address, that we should ever
be on our giiard against the insidious ad-
vances of foreign infiuence, and that our
country should cultivate friendly relation-
ships with all nations and entangling alli-
ances with none.
Following this policy the democratic party
of Massachusetts declares its uncompromis-
ing opp)osition to imperalism, whether with-
in or out of the dominion of the United
States. We declare in particular that the
pledge made by our congress at the out-
break of the war with Spain, that "the
people of Cuba are, and of right ought to
be, free and Independent," should be sacred-
ly maintained. We believe in the independ-
ence and freedom of every country and peo-
ple capable of self-government. We should
encourage the people of every land through-
out the world, when unjustly governed and
oppressed, to gain their freedom; we should
assist them by pointing out to them the
beneficent results of our own free institu-
tions and by maintaining those institutions
in their pristine purity and democratic
form.
PROHIBITION.
Organized and existing for the economic
and moral advancement of humanity, it
sympathizes with all humanitarian projects,
and tenders its loyal and hearty support to
the national government in its war meas-
ures to relieve the sufferings and secure the
independence of our Cuban neighbors.
MICHIGAN.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the nation upon the vic-
tories recently won on land and sea and
offer our tribute of praise to the heroes of
Manila and Santiago, whose deeds have
broadened the national horizon and won the
respect . of the civilized nations of the
world.
While believing that Providence has made

this nation the instrument for the uplifting
of an oppressed people, and believing also
that our flag once raised should never be
lowered, nevertheless we leave our future
destiny in this regard in the hands of the
properly delegated authorities, believing
that they will act for the glory and honor of
the nation and the elevation of mankind.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor a vigorous prosecution of the
war with Spain, which was begun and is
being waged in the interests of humanity
and for the extension of political freedom.
We urge the most liberal supply of modern
arms to our soldiers and the utmost energy
in their equipment. We declare our con-
viction that there should be no cessation of
effort until every righteous purpose shall
have been achieved. We congratulate the
nation upon the skill and valor of its de-
fenders and the prompt and effective re-
sponse to the call for troops; especially do
we feel Just pride in the high character and
earnestness of the brave men of Michigan,
who, in the volunteer service, have reflected
such credit upon our commonwealth.
UNION SILVER.
We most heartily support the national
administration in all worthy efforts to
maintain our national dignity and honor
and forever to drive Spanish oppression
from the western hemisphere. We also
favor a vigorous prosecution of the war t
a successful termination, as set forth in the
declaration thereof.
MINNESOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
We are in favor of the immediate annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian islands, not only as an
absolute milltair necessity, but as the frui-
tion of one of the noblest aspirations of a
long line of our great statesmen and be-
cause such annexation would be of unques-
tioned advantage to the American people.
We dosi'.e especially to commend the wis-
dom and patriotism of the present adminis-
tration in the management of the existing
war between this country and Spain, a war
which appeals to the patriotism of every
citissen in that it is being prosecuted in the
interest of humanity and for no selfish ends
whatever. To the end that Its objects may
be speedily realized and the war brought to
an early termination we pledge all moral
and material support in our power.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We pledge our united support to the gov-
ernment in a vigorous prosecution of the
war against Spain.
PEOPLE'S (MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD).
We heartily sympathize with the op-
pressed people of Cuba in their struggle for
self-government, and with gratitude and
pride we commend and rejoice in the pa-
triotism of our young men who have volun-
teered in the battle of freedom for Cuba.
MISSISSIPPI.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the flag of no despcttic
nation should ever again be allowed to float
over soil which has been hallowed by the
blood of American heroes, shed in the cause
of humaiUty and freedom and in the de-
fense of American honor.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in Its
full extent as a principle of our party, and
we believe that the United States should
stand aloof from interference with the af-
fairs and disputes of European powers,
when American interests, the integrity of
American territory and freedom of the na-
tions of the western hemisphere are not in-
volved, but we assert that the Monroe doc-
trine does not compel our government to
abandon or to return to the tyranny of
Spanish rule any of the helpless peoples
who have by force of circumstances in the
conduct of the Spanish-American war been
placed under our protecting care. And we
further assert that the Monroe doctrine
does not forbid the enlargement and exten-
sion of American territory or the protection
of American interests in the eastern as
well as the western hemisphere, and espe-
cially In the Pacific ocean, where our great
coast line and the requirements of the com-
mercial development of our western states
establish paramount rights and impose on
our government corresponding duties, and
we therefore approve of the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands, and we favor the
acquisition and ownership of additional na-
val stations and ports, sufficient to afiFord
ample protection to our rightful and natu-
rally growing commerce with Asia and the
other countries of the far east. We believe
in the upbuilding of the American mer-
chant marine, and we favor such legislation
by congress as will accomplish that end.
DEMOCRATIC.
We assert that the declaration of war
against Spain was Justified by the causes
which called it forth. We direct attention
to the fact that the national republican ad-
minl^ration, backed by the republican ma-
jority in congress, was opposed to war, and
yielded only after delay to strong public
sentiment, aroused by the first and per-
sistent demands of democratic senators and
representatives, foremost among whom were
those from Missouri, and for their part in
forcing the republican president and con-
gress to defend the rights of our country we
extend them our hearty congratulation.
We are opposed to waging a war for con-
quest, but as this war was forced on us by
tne intolerant conduct of the Spanish gov-
ernment and people we declare that it
should be prosecuted until Spain is driven
from the western hemisphere. And since
the prosecution of the war has entailed
great loss to us of both life and treasure
we demand that Puerto Rico and all Span-
ish territory in the West Indies, except
Cuba, shall be seized by the United States
or be taken possession of by arms and held
under the sovereignty of this country. We
favor carrying out in good faith the resolu-
tlon of congress under which we intervened
in Cuba, and aiding the Cubans to establish
and maintain an independent government of
their own, if they desire this, and we will
favor its peaceful annexation whenever it
^an be done with the consent of the people
of the Island.
We insist on the stridt maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine and hold that any de-
parture from it would be both unwise and
lazardons. At the same time we declare
hat no American people should be held by
force In unwilling suojection to European
authority.
We oppose an alliance of a political
nature with any European government, be-
lieving that the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine in all Its integrity, both In* letter
and spirit, is necessary to the exclusion of
European authority from these continents

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALBIANAC FOR 1899.
We urge the enactment of soch laws as will
protect the laboring classes of these islands,
as well as those of any other territory that
may be acquired by the United States, from
the ruinous competition of cheap contract
labor.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The Islands which recently belonged to
Spain, but over which the American flag
now floats, belong to the United States by
right of conquest, and we are emphatically
opposed to any scheme that will saddle any
IMurt of the ^anlBh or Cuban debt on this
country.
The war with Spain has demonstrated the
great necessity of a ship canal connecting
the Atlantic and the Pacific, and we favor
the immediate construction of such canal
over the most feasible route, to be built,
owned and controlled by the United States
government.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
BEPUBLICAN.
We tinprore the increase of the navy, the
upbuilding of our merchant marine, the en-
largement of -the regular army to meet the
present requirements of the country, the
construction of a canal connecting the At-
lantic and Pacific oceans, the annexation of
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the provision for a
free and stable government for Cuba and ltd
ultimate annexation. While reafiBrming the
Monroe doctrine, we favor such disposition
of the Philippines hb will best promote the
growing commercial and political interests
of the United States, extinguish the sover-
eignty of Spain and make good our obliga-
tions to the peoples of those islands.
NEW JERSEY.
REPUBLICAN.
We approve the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands and view this act as an im-
portant step in the advance of American
civilization, and we repose entire confidence
in the wisdom and patriotism of the presi-
dent and the commission appointed by him
to negotiate such a treaty of peace as will
meet the just expectations of our people by
insisting on an adjustment in which the
interests of this republic and of civilization
and humanity will be secured as far as
possible as the fruits of the valor of our
soldiers and sailors In the war with Spain.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
We have abiding confidence that the presi-
dent will conclude this peace upon terms
that will satisfy the conscience, the judg-
ment and the high purpose of the American
people. We realize that when the necessity
of war compelled our nation to destroy
Spanish authority in the Antilles and in the
Fhilippines we assumed solemn duties and
obligations alike to the people of the islands
we conquered and to the civilized world.
We cannot turn these islands back to Spain.
We cannot leave them, unarmed for defense
and untried in statecraft, to the horrors of
domestic strife or to partition among Euro-
pean powers. We have assumed the respon-
sibilities of victory, and wherever our flag
has gone, there the liberty, the humanity
and the civilization which that flag em-
bodies and represents must remain and
abide forever. The republican party has
been the party of brave conservatism, of
wise progress and of triumphant faith in
the nationality of this people, and we know
that the president and statesmen and voters
of the republican partv will meet these Is-
sues of the future as bravely and triumph-
antly as we have met the Issues of the past.
We commend the annexation of Hawaii in
the interest of commerce, of national secu-
rity and national development.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the country npon the
successful termination of a war undertaken,
not for conquest or aggrandisement, but In
the interests of humanity, liberty and civili-
zation. We glory in the patriotic devotion
and valor of our brave soldiers and unllors,
who have honored the American people and
heightened the luster of our national fame,
and we favor the adoption of a liberal
policv toward the sick and wounded and the
families of those who lost their lives in the
service of their country. We rejoice that
the democracy has been connected with
every honorable and creditable step in the
war and with nothing that is dishonorable
or discreditable.
The scandalous abuse by the president <^
his power of appointment In scattering
army commissions among inexperienced and
Incompetent civilians as rewards to per-
sonal lavorites, and almost to the exclusion
of experienced oflBcers in the service, is
largely accountable for the fearful sufferinss
and the appalling loss of life among the gal-
lant soldiers, that have brought disgrace
upon the administration and a sense of
shame to the nation. A democratic con-
gress will, if chosen bv the people, rlflridly
investigate the conduct of the war ana ex-
pose and punish all who may be responsible
for the unnecessary deaths, privations, suf-
ferings and neglect of the soldiers, whioh
have saddened the nation and abated the
natural rejoicing over the triumphs of our
army.
NORTH CAROLINA.
DEMOCRATIC.
While we deplore the war with Spain, we

ment In all honorable ways to effect a
speedy and successful conclusion of hos-
tUities.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
To avenge the Maine, to advance repub-
lican institutions and in the interests of
humanity, the brutal and treacherous Span-
lards should be driven from the western

ment established in the islands which she
has misgoverned, robbed, persecuted and

PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We' declare our emphatic approral of the
wise and patriotic course of the president
and congress in the present war. We ap-
preciate the high statesmanship which led
the president to resort to every honorable
means to avoid the necessity of a war with
Spain. The conditions prevailing in the is-
land of Cuba, under Spanish control, had
become seriously injurious to our important
commercial interests, and the suffering,
misery and death occasioned by Spanish
cruelty and barbarity had Instilled a senti-
ment of resentment among the American
people, who cannot help but feel a generous
sympathy with people so near our own bor-
der. The destruction of the Maine by Span-
ish agencies, in the opinion of our people,
demanded atonement; and our negotiations
with Spain clearly developed the fact that
but one alternative was left to the United
States, that Spain should relinquish her
sovereigrntv over that island and that the
freedom of Cuba should be recogrniaed. With
these purposes In view we demand a vigor-
ous prosecution of the war to a successful
conclusion and we pledge our earnest sup-
port to the president of the United States in
whatever measures he may deem necessary.
DEMOCRATIC.
We pledge our hearty support to the gov-
ernment in an active and aggressive conduct
of the war with Spain.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand fof the people of the United
States, an American policy thorough and
strict, and with all possible emphasis we
reaffirm the principles of the Monroe doc-
trine as enunciated by Thomas Jefferson—
**that our first and fundamental maxim
should be never to entangle ourselves in
the broils of Europe; our second, never to
suffer Europe to intermeddle with cis-
atlantic affairs*' — and we pledge our sup-
port of the Cuban policy declared in the
Joint resolution adopted by congress and
approved by the president April 20, 1898.
RHODE ISLAND.
REPUBLICAN.
We sympathise with the unfortunate and
distressed people of the island of Cuba in
their eflForts to obtain a larger measure of
liberty and security in their government.
Fervently do we hope that wise counsels
may prevail and that the privations and
sufferings of that gallant people may not
longer be a reproach to our common hu-
manity. Sincerely do we desire to remain
at peace with all the nations of the earth,
but if the vindication of the national honor
and the firm maintenance of well-considered
principles of justice shall necessitate a
resort to the arbitrament of arms, we
pledge Rhode Island to the national defense
and the supremacy of our flag.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
We earnestly commend the republican ad-
ministration and congress for the annexa-
tion of Hawaii, despite the strenuous oppo-
sition of the conspiracy created by the sugar
trust.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We are in favor of a vigorous prosecution
and successful termination of tne present
war with Spain for the independence and
freedom of Cuba, yet we believe the time
has come to protest against any effort to
convert the present war into one of con-
quest.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We approve of the war now being waged
in behalf of the oppressed people of Cuba
and the Philippines, and demand its ener-
getic prosecution and that it be terminated
as quickly as possible after the purpose for
which it was inaugurated shall have been
accomplished.
PROHIBITION.
We declare ourselves in favor of Cnban
Independence, and long for the time to come
when our national government shall take ms

own nation, caused by the drink curse, as
it now takes in the interests of oppressed
Cuba.
TENNESSEE.
IfflPUBLICAN.
We believe in an extension of trade and
commerce with foreigrn countries. Believ-
ing that trade follows the flag, we declare
in favor of the annexation of Puerto Rico
and all the West India islands; the ultimate
annexation of Cuba by the free consent of
the people of the island, and such control of
the Philippines and other islands as shall
secure to the United States the trade and
commerce of those Islands and good govern-
ment for their people.
DEMOCRATIC.
The United States is engaged in a foreign
war with Spain, inaugurated in the name
of humanitv and for tne freedom of Cuba,
and we Indorse the action of our senators
and representatives in congress in voting to
institute this war for these high purposes.
We urge its vigorous prosecution, to the end
that it may be speedily terminated and the
blessings of peace restored to our country.
We rect^rnise the Monroe doctrine as a car-
dinal tenet of the democratic party and a
part of the public policy of the national gov
emment, and favor its strict obserrance.

REPUBLICAN.
While we insist on maintaining the Mon-
roe doctrine in all its integrity, we believe
it consistent with it and safe for us to hold
and maintain possession for commercial pur-
poses of other lands in any part of the
world, and we believe in protecting our flag
wherever it has been successfully raised.
DEMOCRATIC.
The war with Spain was necessary and
inevitable if the nation was to have any
regard for the protection of its citizens and
the redress of wrongs and outrages on the
Sart of Spain which had become intolerable,

tated and, In weakness, sought to avoid
the responsibility erowing out of this most
important crisis. After resorting to various
devices and deceptive representations it
was at length compelled, through the patri-
otic efforts of democratic members of con-
gress and an array of public sentiment, to
favor a declaration of war. Through the
skill, willingness, sacrifice and heroism of
the army and navy of the United States the
war has been waged to a triumphant and
glorious conclusion.

We approve with satisfaction the terms
npon which peace will be entered into be-
tween Spain and the United States, as set
forth in the president's acts and protocol,
and we congratulate him and the adminis-
tration upon the!r conduct of and successful
termination of the war.
We apprdve the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands as being wise and tending to
increase our commerce and trade^ providing
a safe, convenient and sufficient naval base
and coaling station and adding much to the
wealth and resources of our country. We
insist that the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands Is within the spirit and letter of the
constltatlon and an evidence of a determina-
tion on the part of our administration to
carry into effect the Monroe doctrine.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor the carrying out to the letter and
spirit of the resolutions under which we
intervened in Cuba, and we insist that the
Cubans shall be permitted to establish an
independent government of their own, but
in the event that the people of that island
shall hereafter desire to be annexed to this
country and the terms of annexation can be
satisfactorily arranged between the two
countries we will welcome Cuba as a part
of the territory of the United States.
We favor the acquisition of Puerto Rico
and all other Spanish possessions in the
westei^i hemisphere.
We reaffirm our faith In the Monroe doc-
trine and oppose the annexation or con-
tinued retention of the Philippine islands or
any territoiy upon the eastern hemisphere.
PEOPLE'S PARTT.
The war between the United States and
Spain was at its inception dectared and un-
derstood to be in the Interest of humanity,
and not for conquest. We cordially Indorse
this sentiment and demand that the war
shall be vigorously prosecuted to a success-
ful termination on these lines and in this
spirit, and we now and here pledge to the
president and his administration our co-
operation to that end.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
For the first time In a generation the re-
publicans of Vermont assemble with the
nation at war. Many of our citizens have
become soldiers. They are beyond our
borders— perhaps on foreign soil. They are
fighting for the nation's honor as their
fathers fought for the nation's life. 'It is
therefore fitting that we should proclaim
our faith and purpose. We are at war with
Spain not for revenge, not for conquest, not
for glory, not for love of war. But we are
at war with Spain for the love of fellow-
men, for the sake of humanity — In the holy
cause of liberty. We are at war with Spain
because we have heard the poor that cry and
have remembf red them that are in bonds as
bound with them. Therefore the war must
go on until the infamy of mediaeval methods
of government In the dawn of the twentieth
century and at the very door of this repub-
lic shall have forever passed away and until
a permanent and honorable peac^ Is secured;
and to that end we pledge our* loyal support
to the president of the United States.
We are opposed to the resurrender to
Spanish misrule of any territory which the
valor of our army and navy ha« rescued or
may hereafter rescue from the hands of the
enemy, and we have an abiding confidence
that a republican president and congress
will so shape the future of such territory as
best to promote the welfare of its Inhab-
itants and the true glory of our country.
DEMOCRATIC.
The republican administration In Its dec-
laration of war solemnly declared to the
world that the purpose of this country in
entering upon the war with Spain was solely
one of numanity, and in Its declaration ex-
pressly disavowed any intentions of setting
up or asserting the sovereignty of the United
States in any conquered territory. We ac-
cept that declaration as made In good faith
and binding upon the administration and
the country, and we believe that the present
war should be vigorously prosecuted and
)romptly ended. We oppose the proposed
mperlallstic policy of the republican party
n the annexation or colonization of any
territory won from Spain by our arms. The
policy of protection of necessity leads the
republican party to this course, because un-
less our markets are extended In this man-
ner their protective principle will be an-
nihilated. Such policy Involves the abandon-
ment of the Monroe doctrine, depriving us
of the advantages we have enjoyed from our
isolated situation; exposes us to the danger
of quarrel with the European nations, and
is liable to force us Into the entangling
alliances which Washington charged us to
avoid; and it is a departure from the faith
of the fathers and from the principles upon
which the government was founded; It as-
sumes powers never conferred by the con-
stitution and imposes responsibilities for
which our system of government is unfitted
and Invites the disasters which have over-
taken all republics heretofore existing.
We believe that the annexation of Hawaii
was an unwise departure from our tradi-
tional policy, and in view of the territory's
remoteness and the undesirableness of its
population we oppose the admission of these
islands to statehood. We cordially extend
our love and sympathy to the Green moun-
tain boys who promptly responded to their
country's call.

tion of President McEinley relating to the
measures and events which led to the war
with Spain, the conduct of the war through-
out, and are now in f ayor of the retention of
all conquered territory.
DEMOCRATIC.
While we do not f ayor an aggressire policy
of general territorial expansion, we are op-
posed to surrendering to Spain any of the
territory that has been acquired by American
Talor and expenditure of blood and treasure
of our people. We do not favor surrendering
to Spain the domination of the people of any
Spanish colonies who co-operated with our
forces against our enemy in the late war.
We are opposed to the assumption of any
portion of the debts of Spain incurred in ob-
taining her sovereignty in Cuba, and also
to the Imposition of any portion thereof
upon the people of that island or to recogni-
tion thereof.
We favor the fullest investigation of all
conditions existing in the Philippine islands
aflFecting the Interests and obligations of our
country in the matter of their future treat-
ment and disposition, to the end that final
action in relation thereto shall be intelligent
and based upon full knowledge of all facts
that can affect the interests of the United
States.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We welcome the return of peace and ex-
press our gratitude and thanks to the brave
men of the army and navy who have main-
tained the honor of our flag and again proved
to the world the qualities of American
patriotism. We extend Joyous welcome to
our returning Wisconsin boys, who have de-
servedly gained the highest honors among
the volunteer troops.
We express our perfect confidence in the
administration wisely and justly to conclude
terms of peace having regard for the wel-
fare of the Inhabitants of the conquered
territory and the best Interests of our own
people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the citizens of the nation
on their loyalty and ardent patriotism dis-
played in the prosecution of the late war,
and we especially honor the American army
and navy for their valor and Intrepid brav-
ery on land and sea; and we condemn in
unstinted measure the war department for
the blunders and crimes committed against
the brave boys in blue in ca.mp and on
foreign battlefields, by selfish contractors,
incompetent surgeons and vain, heartless
army officers appointed for political pur-
poses, and we hereby pledge to our brave
soldiers and sailors who survive the war our
earnest and loyal support to secure the
punishment of the guilty parties.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe our country under a republican
administration is entering upon its greatest
period of power, happiness and responsibil-
ity, and we realisse the mighty future of
successful progress and duty which is even
now before us, and that the' republican
party is fully able to pursue a policy upon
the declaration of peace with Spain which
will at once maintain the dignity and honor
of our nation and bring prosperity to the
islands which will come under our control
and protection.
We most heartily approve of the annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian islands and hail with
pleasure the American flag which has been
there planted as an emblem of liberty by
the republican administration.

ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country npon the
adoption of the Dingley act, with its reci-
procity provision, as a wise measure of pro-
tection and security to American labor and
capital, which, while greatly reducing our
imports by substitution of home for forelgrn
made fabrics, has opened to us the markets
of the world to an extent never before
known, so that the balance of trade in our
favor for this fiscal year will attain
the unparalleled and stupendous figures of
$600,000,000.
CALIFORNIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We call attention to the fact that since
the return of the republican party to
power the balance of trade has changed
from more than $400,000,000 against the
United States to about $880,000,000 in our
favor, and all of this is due to the wise and
conservative financial policy adopted and
no declaration was made.j
adhered to by the republican congress and
president.
PROHIBITION.
We protest against the frequent tariff
changes which are suddenly made, to the
great detriment of the business interests of
the country, as one or the other of the old
parties comes into power at Washington,
and we favor a tariff commission of experts,
whose duty it shall be to recommend to con-
gress any needed changes in our tariff.
- COLORADO.
. DEMOCRATIC.
The so-called Dingley act, passed for the
purpose of supplying revenue to the treas-
ury, is confessedly a failure. It has neither
raised wages nor revenue, revived business
nor promoted prosperity. Under Its opera-
tion many thousands of employes have suf*
fered a reduction of wages or lost employ-
ment, while the national income shows an
annual deficit of fl0O,0OO,0O0. It Is the cul-
mination of a system unlawful and inde-
fensible, and we demand the passage of a
revenue law which shall furnish an adequate
supply of money to the government without
necessarily burdening the people or en*

the principle of protection to American labor
and American industry, with reciprocity,
and favors such alterations in the existing
tariflF and revenue laws as the changed con-
ditions growing out of the Spanish war may
require, and those which may be found
necessary from time to time, and It favors
the most stringent legislative prohibitions
against cheap pauper immigration, protect-
ing to the fullest extent the American wage-
earner against imported cheap labor.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
We demand that the products of foreign
countries shall be required before being ad-
mitted into this country to pay such duties
as will protect the American workmen from
competition in our home marlcets with the
underpaid labor of Europe and Asia.
We also believe that the duties so imposed
should be so laid as to discriminate in favor
of products imported into this country in
American-built vessels.
DEMOCRATIC.
The Dingley tariff act increased taxes,
making the highest tariff schedules known
to our history, without increasing revenue
sufficiently to meet the expenditures of gov-
ernment. It increased the special advan-
tages and privileges of the sugar trust and
of every other trust, but it did not increase
the wages of labor nor revive the depres-
sion under which agriculture languishes.
Every indication points to the necessity of
expansion in our foreign trade and we de-
mand that the fetters of the Dingley tariff
act be removed.
We believe that all taxation, state or na-
tional, should be so laid as to place the
feast restraint possible on the labor, indus-
try and enterprise of the people, and that no
privileged class or private interest should be
permitted to use the taxing power for its
own ends.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the protective

demand.

INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We especially commend th£ president and
congress for the prompt passage of a wise
revenue law in accordance with the sound
republican doctrine of reciprocity and pro-
tection to American industries and home
labor, and express our unbounded confidence
In the beneficial results predicted for this
measure by our party leaders, evidences of
which are daily accumulating in the way of
renewed business prosperity and ample rev-
enue for ordinary governmental expendi-
tures.
We therefore reaffirm our belief In the
doctrine of. reciprocity and protection to
American labor and home industries, and
condemn the democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue only as unsound and unsuited to
the best interests of the country, a doctrine
whose falsity has been demonstrated by our
experience under the Wilson revenue law,
that plunged the nation Into commercial
and financial distress, from which it is
fast recovering since the change from that
democratic poflcy.
DEMOCRATIC.
We earnestly reassert the democratic doc-
trine that all tariff taxes shall be laid for
revenue as their sole object and purpose,
and we do at this time especially denounce
and condemn the high prohibitory rates of
the present republican tariff, commonly
called the Dingley law, under the operation
of which trusts and combinations have
multiplied, the cost of the necessaries o*
life has been increased and the wages of
labor have not been advanced, and which
has entailed upon the country a deficit of
many millions to be made up only by addi-
tional taxation in time of war, thus im-
posing, instead of a benefit, an onerous
burden upon the people of the United States.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the republican
doctrines of reciprocity and protection. We
congratulate the people on the fact that a
republican congress has enacted a protect-
ive tariff which has brought prosperity to
our country, and pledge ourselves to favor
such changes in the present republican reve-
nue law as experience may from time to
time dictate or change if conditions de-
mand.
KANSAS.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are against the McKioley and Dingley
system of taxation for the expenses of gov-
ernment. It is wrong in principle, being a
tax on consumption instead of property, and
a breeder of trusts and monopolies. It is
disastrous in practice, as the present $60,-
000,000 deficit illustrates, and we renew our
protest against it and insist upon federal
taxation being levied in such manner as will
reach the Incomes and property of rich men
and corporations and thus to some degree ex-
empt the necessities of the common people.
We wage no war upon the rich, but Insist
the rich and poor alike must stand in equal-
ity before the law, and that nniust privi-
leges and the aggressions of wealth upon the
rights of man must cease. We therefore

the United States, if the same be necessary,
saeh as will authorize congress to levy
direct taxes upon incomes, corporations, es-
tates and all forms of aggregated wealth.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
The demand for a tariff really protectire,
and that should provide ample revenue for
the needs of the government, has likewise
been fully met in the Dingier act. Under
its operation exports of manufactured goods
have increased and Imports diminished, the
number of pei*8on8 empioyed and the amount
of wages paid have been greater, and the
rate of wages, looking at our industries as
a whole, has been higher. As a producer of
revenue it has demonstrated its abilitv to
furnish more than can be required in times
of peace. Under it the credit of the govern-
ment has been restored. We no longer issue
bonds for ordinary expenditures; we sell our
war bonds to the people, not to syndicates
or by contract at exorbitant rates of interest
and enormous profits to the purchaser at tho
expense of the people. The gold reserve be-
hind our demand currency is more than suffi-
cient.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the general character and
E articular acts of legislation which have
een enacted under the influence of the
present administration. Every such act
has been calculated not to alleviate but to
add to the disasters of the people. Of this
kind of discriminating legislation is the
Dingley tariff law, the provisions of which
were dictated by the beneficiaries. Of this
kind is the more recent internal-revenue tax
law, which was notoriously constructed so
that the corporations might evade their
share in the burdens of the nation, thereby
devolving the entire sacrifice upon an al-
ready distressed people.
MICHIGAN.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the
gradual return of business prosperity since
the return of the republican party to power,
and point with satisfaction to the successfu,
operation of the Dingley law that is now
producing ample revenue for all the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government. We
congratulate the country upon the restora-
tion of protection and the return of pros-
perity as evidenced by the reopening of
mills, factories and shops and tne re-em-
ployment of idle men and women.
MINNESOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
The Dingley law has been a new stimulus
to American industry, created new enter-
ftrises, increased the demand for labor, and
n a multitude of ways vindicated the wis-
dom of the republican policy under all con-
ditions of our national life. We affirm our
adhesion to the principles set forth in the
Slatform of our last national convention at
t. Louis and exemplified in the administra-
tion of William McKlnley. The work of un-
doing the mischief wrought upon American
industry by the last democratic adnrinistra-
tion is being prosecuted with a vigor that
commands our admiration. The wisdom of
our republican congress cannot be too highly
commended for its efforts In providing such
remedial leglslatiOD as Is necessary to re-
form abuses growing out of democratic mis-
rule, to supply the wants of an exhausted
treasury and repair the damages produced
by the gross mismanagement of our national
finances, by enacting a tariff which afforded
neither protection nor revenue and was de-
structive of the interests of the wage-
earner.

NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party is fulfilling its
pledges made at St. Louis. We have en-
acted a conservative, protective tariff, so
wisely devised that the revenue is amply
sufficient to pay the ordinary expenses of
government in times of peace, wliile capital
is encouraged to seek employment and the
wages of labor are maintained at that high
standard which experience has proved to be
necessary to the welfare of our people. Our
exports largely exceed our Imports. The
gold of the world comes steadily to our
shores, and with a continuance of republican
policy and republican national administra-
tion the prosperous future of the nation Is
assured.
In the interests of American labor and
commerce we believe that American prod-
ucts should be carried in American snips,
and we favor the upbuilding of an American

^ NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
We Indorse the Dingley tariff law and also
the republican tariff measures made neces-
sary by the enormous expenditures incident
to the war. While the democratic adminis-
tration sold bonds in secret in time of
peace to foreign syndicates, the present re-
publican administration has required the
banks and syndicates to stand back until
the common people could have all the bonds
which they were able and willing to pay
for; and we point with pride to the fact
that our bonds are worth 20 per cent more
in time of war than they were worth in
time of democracy, and that the common
people of the country have displayed their
confidence in the government by subscribing
three times over the amount called for by
the administration.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for the
f massage of the IHngley tariff law, which has
ncreased the burdens of taxation upon our
consumers and given the trusts and monop-
olists greater power to rob the people.
Believing that un6er our present methods
of federal taxation more than three-
quarters of our national revenues are paid
by people owning less than one-quarter ot
the property of the country, we protest
against such inequality and injustice, and In
oraer to remedy, to some extent, this great
wrong, we favor an income tax and favor
all constitutional methods to sustain it.

yer of Ohio for many years. His paternal
and maternal grandfathers were Supreme
court Justices. He was graduated from the
Unlyerslty of Michigan In the class of '70
and studied law in the law department of
the same unlyerslty and was admitted to
the bar in 1872. In October of that year he
settled iu Canton and formed a law partner-
ship with William A. Lynch. In 1886 he
was elected to the bench of the Common
Pleas court by both political parties, and In
1889 he was appointed Judge of the United
States District court for the northern dis-
trict of Ohio by President Harrison, but
failing health compelled him to resign be-
fore taking the omce. With these two ex-
ceptions Judge Day has continuously prac-
ticed his profession In Canton, being en-
gaged in both the criminal and corporation
branches.
Early In his administration President Mc-
Einley appointed Judge Day assistant sec-
retary of^ state. Owing to the ill health of
Secretary Sherman the duties of the sec-
retaryship largely deyolyed upon him
throughout the administration. On April
26, 1898, he became secretary, and his con-
duct of the important and delicate negotia-
tions preceding the declaration of war, as
well as those during its progress, has
elicited the approyal and support of the
country. In September he resided to take
the position of head of the Paris peace
commission.
JOHN W. GRIGGS.
John William Griggs, attorney-general,
was bom in Newton, w. J., July 10, 1849.

of Robert Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he
remoyed to Paterson. where he entered the
office of Socrates Tuttle. He was admitted
to the bar that year, and together with Mi*.
Tuttle formed the firm of Tuttle & Griggs.
A few years later he opened an oflSce on his
own account. He was elected to the assem-
bly in 1875 and was re-elected two years
later. In the latter year the house was
equally diylded and he became leader on
the republican side. He was renominated
for another term, but was defeated. He
was elected counsel for the board of free-
holders of Passaic county and city council
of Paterson, which oflSces he held until 1882,
when he was elected to the state senate.
He was re-elected state senator and became
8 resident of the senate In 1886. He was a
elegate-at-large to the republican national
cpnyention In 1888. In 1895 Goy. Werts of
New Jersey oflfered Mr. Griggs a place on

as the ciyil war opened, and was appointed
to the staff of Gen. Ratnbone. After deyot-
ing two years to the work of recruiting and
organizing yolunteers for the union army he
returned to the Albany academy as one of
its instructors. He became editor of the
Albany Express in 1865 and of the Albany
fc:yening Journal in 1870, retaining the latter
position for ten years. During this period

Conkling and by consequence an earnest op-
ponent of the Blaine element in the repub-
lican party. But in 1880 he left Albany to
become editor of the Philadelphia Press,
which was owned by an admirer of Mr.
Blaine, and he immediately became the
most ardent supporter of the moyement to
make him president. Mr. Smith was ap-
pointed minister to Russia by President
Harrison. Like Mr. Gary, whom he suc-
ceeded, and almost all other postmaster-
generals, Mr. Smith lacks experience ' in
postal affairs beyond that necessarily gained
by anybody who is at the head of a leading
newspaper, but he has good executlTe ca-
pacity, which is the main essential for the

REAR-ADMIRAL W. T. SAMPSON.
Rear- Admiral William T. Sampson was
bom at Palmyra, N. Y., in 1840. Uis father
was a day laborer, and young Sampson used
to accompany him from farm to farm in
search of work. At the age of 17 he was
appointed a midshipman in the United
States naval academy at Annapolis. Ue
was graduated, flrst in his class, in 1861,
and was immediately sent aboard of the
frigate Potomac. Here he soon won his
1 lieutenancy. Sampson was executive oflicer
and stood on the bridge of the Patapeco
when she was blown up by a torpedo in
Charleston harbor, Jan. 16, 1865. Seventy
of the crew were drowned. In 1866 he was
promoted to a lieutenant-commander while
on the Colorado. From 1868 to 1871 he was
at the naval academy. The following two
years he was on the Congress, and in 1874,
having been made a commander, he was
assigned to the Alert. He returned to the
naval academy in 1876 and remained there
nearly three years. In 1879 he was in
China, commanding the Swatara. He was
chief of the bureau of ordnance from 1893 to
1897, and previous to that he was inspector
of ordnance at the Washington navy yard.
Since the formation of the new navy he has
commanded the Iowa and the San Francisco.
On account of his wide knowledge of tor-
pedoes, mines, etc., he was appointed presi-
dent of the Maine court of inquiry by Presi-
dent McKlnley. In April, 1898, he was pro-
moted to acting rear-admiral by the presi-

REAR-ADMIRAL WINFIELD S. SCHLEY.
Rear- Admiral Sr>hley was bom at Freder-
ick, Md., Oct. 9, 1839. He entered the naval
academy In 1856, and was graduated in 1860.
He distinguished himself by coming out of
the academy as near the bottom of his
class as it was possible for him deliberately
to get. In 1860 he served on the Niagara,
which was sent to convoy the Japanese em-
bassy to their country. When the Niagara
returned and anchored off Boston, Capt.
McKean, the commander, drew his men up
on the deck and asked them to take the
oath of allegiance. Three of the middies
flatly refused. They were E. G. Read of
Virginia, who meant what he did, and
Thomas L. Swann and Wlnfield Scott
Schley, both of Maryland, who refused Just
because the others did. It is related that
McKean gave the bovs a lecture, which
brought tnem to their senses. Whatever
truth there niay be in the tale, there is
no doubt that young Schley made a gallant
officer and fought for the flag as valiantly
as any of the men who were with him in
the academy. That he did not win as high
return as others In the civil war was per-
haps due to the short participation he had
in the fighting. He was not out of the
naval academy two years when he was com-
missioned a lieutenant. Schley's most sig-
nal performance was his search for and
discovery of Greely In the frozen fast-
nesses of the north. Lieutenant, now Gen-
eral, Adolphus W. Greely went north with
his expedition in 1881. Nothing had been
heard from him In two years, and late in
1883 talk was made of sending an expedi-
tion to relieve him. The then Commander
Schley volunteered his services as head of
the relieving expedition. The expedition
consisted of the Thetis and the Bear, the
Alert, kindly lent by the government of
Great Britain, and the Loch Larry, a sup-
?ly ship. This fieet set sail April 23, 1884.
'he ships plowed north and found the great
explorer and the remnant of his expedition.
The name of Schley must ever be associated
with that of Greely in the history of arctlO
exploration. His career as it may be ob>

shot to death at his side in the attack on
the batteries of the Saler river, Korea, in
1871. J^rom the dust and smoke of battle
he was transferred to Annapolis to be
head of the academic department of modern
languages. He was commander of the Es-
sex, lighthouse inspector, recruiting officer
and then commander of the Greely relief
expedition. His work has won him two
gold medals, . and Maryland presented him
with a gold chronometer for his rescue of
Greely. In the war with Spain he was at-
tached to Sampson's command off Santiago,
and was In charge of the fleet of observa-
tion on the 3d of July when Cervera's fleet

napolis and his mother promptly sent in
his resignation without consulting her son.
Young Evans at once repudiated the resig-
nation (which meanwhile had been accepted
at Washington), and was restored to the
service. He was made ensign In 1863, and
went to the war. In an attack on Fort
Fisher he landed a force of seamen and
marines and was shot twice in the leg for
his pains. In another engagement, from
the water, with Fort Sumter, he was punc-
tured by a piece of shell which broke his
kneecap, but, refusing to go below, he took
part in the engagement until It was over.
In 1891 Capt. Evans was assigned to the
Yorktown. His shin entered the harbor of
Valparaiso when Chile and this country
were biting thumbs at each other. The
Yorktown anchored directly before the bat-
teries. She was a pooriy armored ship and
lightly armed. The bay was occupied by a
number of torpedo boats in practice, and as
the Yorktown was the only ship in the port
they used her for a point of attack. Capt.
Evans objected to being made a target of
and ordered his ship cleared for action.
The guns were loadea, the men ordered to
their posts and the captain's gig lowered.
He sought out the general of the city and
demanded that the bay be cleared of the tor-
Eedo boats. It was done. Capt. Evans won
is name of "Fighting Bob" at Valparaiso.
Once the Spanish minister came aboard his
ship with two refugees. Evans fired a
salute in honor of the country he was late-
ly fighting. The Chileans severely criticised
this action, but so fierce was the Yankee
captain's denunciation of the business that
a stop was promptly put to further gossip
about the propriety of the salute. He has
held his present rank since 1889, and his
first command in large ships was the mon-
ster Indiana in 1895. In the Spanish war
he was placed in command of the Iowa and

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Theodore Roosevelt was born In New York
Oct 29, 1858, and was the son of Cornelius
Van Schaick Roosevelt, whose line goes
back to mediaeval times in Dutch history.
Young Roosevelt was graduated from Har-
vard in 1880, when 21 years old, and in the
following year was elected to the assembly
from New York city. During his second
term he became the leader of the party in
the assembly. He served three terms in
the assembly, and since then has never held
an elective office. He was chairman of the
New York delegation to the national con-
vention which nominated Blaine for presi-
dent in 1884. He was opposed to Mr.
Blaine's nomination, but after he had failed
to prevent it he was hearty in support of
the candidate. In 1886 he was a candidate
for mayor of New York, but ran behind
both Hewitt (dem.) and Henry George
(single tax). He was appointed a member
of the civll-servlce commission by Presi-
dent Harrison and was retained by Presi-
dent Cleveland. He served until his ap-
pointment to the police commission of New
York city In 1895. His nomination as as-
sistant secretary of the navy was -made by
McKinley on April 6, 1896. To
the vigor of his administration of this
office many naval officers ascribe no small
part of the nation's readiness for the war
with Spain. His insistence on target prac-
tice has been praised throughout the serv-
ice. On April 25, 1898, he accepted the offer
of a lieutenant-colonelcy in the 1st volun-
teer cavalry regiment, known as Roose-
velt's "rough riders," and served with great
distinction in the operations against San-
tiago. On the 27th of September, 1898, he
was nominated by the republicans of New
York as their candidate for governor.
Theodore Roosevelt is a writer and lecturer
of considerable renown. His "History of
the Naval War in 1812," lives of "Gouver-
neur Morris" and "Thomas H. Benton,"
"TheHuntlngTrlpsof a Ranchman," "Ranch
Life and the Hunting Trail," "The Wilder-
ness Hunter" and other works bear a high
reputation. His ability as a sportsman and
rancher are also well known and admired
by many who care but little for polities. In
November, 1898, he was elected by the re-
publicans governor of New York.
COL. JAMES A. SEXTON.
Col. Sexton, commander G. A. R., was
born in the city of Chicago on the 5th day
of January, 1844, and enlisted on the 19th
day of April, 1861, as a private soldier.
After three months' service he re-enlisted
in the 67th regiment Illinois infantry vol-
unteers, and was commissioned a first lieu-
tenant in company E. He was later trans-
ferred to the 72d regiment Illinois volun-
teers and was made captain of company D.
He served in Ransome's brigade, Mc-
Arthur's division, 17th army corps, of the
army of the Tennessee, and participated in
nearly all its campaigns, sieges and battles.

regiment in the battles of Columbia, Duck
River. Spring Hill, Franklin and Nashville,
and throughout the Nashville campaign, in
1865 he was assigned to duty on the staff of
Maj.-Gen. A. J. Smith, the commander of
the 16th army corps, and remained with
Smith until the end of the war, when he
was honorably discharged from the service
in August, 1865. Upon the assault and cap-
ture of the Spanish fort. Mobile, Ala., April
8, 1865, he had his left leg broken below
the knee by a piece of shell. He was
slightly wounded at the battle of Franklin
and painfully wounded at the battle ot
Nashville. After the war he remained two
years in Alabama, working a plantation he
had purchased near the city of Montgomery.
In 1867 he returned to Chicago and founded
the firm of J. A. & T. S. Sexton. In 1872,
after the Chicago fire, this firm was suc-
ceeded by Cribben, Sexton & Co., and is
still in business. President Harrison made
him postmaster of Chicago in April, 1889.
He was retained by President Cleveland
untlll he resigned, Jan. 1, 1895. He Is an
active worker in the Grand Army, the Mil-
itary Order of the Loyal Legion and other
soldier and army societies. He is a past

dent of the board of tnistees of the Illinois
State Soldiers and Sailors' home, located

In these schools there are 1,439 pupils.
Besides these there are trovemment reser-
vation boarding schools with a capacity of
8il2& pupils, government day schools with a
capacity of 6,l64 pupils, and 340 Indian pupils
in the various publio schools in California,
Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah.
Washington and Wisconsin. Upon the sub-
ject of oo-education the commissioner of In-
dian affairs says: "The plan of placing Indian
children in the publio schools of the country
for the purpose of oo-eduoation of the races,
conceived in 1890, does not appear to meet
with much success. Last year (1897) there wa«
a decrease of 100 pupils from , the previous
year, and this year's (1896) report also shows a
small decrease. Although the contract rate
of $10 per capita a quarter on the average
attendance was thought. suflBciently stimula-
ting to induce the public-school authorities to
Increase the number of these Indian scholars,
the experiment has not been the success an-
ticipated. More decided efforts will be ex-
erted during the fiscal year 1899 ^nd the value
and practicability of the system fully tested."

THE TSEATT WITE SPAQT.
[Continued from page 120.]
The terms of the treaty of peace between
the United States and Spain as it has been
formulated by the joint commission of the
two countries at the Paris conference will
not be known in all its details until after
this volume has been issued. Enough is
known, however, to indicate with reason-
able certainty what Spain will yield and
what obligations the United States will as-
sume. It was semi-offlclally reported from
Paris on the 13th of December that the
treaty had been drawn and that all its es-
sential features had been accepted by the
commissioners of both countries. The vari-
ous sections of the treaty provide as follews:
Article 1 provides for the relinquishment
of Cuba.
Article 2 provides for the cession of
Puerto Rico.
Article 3 provides for the cession of the
Philippines for $20,000,000 as compensation.
Article 4 embraces the plans for the ces-
sion of the Philippines, including the return
of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
Tagalos.
Article 6 deals with the cession of bar-
racks, war materials, arms, stores, bulltl-
Ings and all property appertaining to the
Spanish administration in the Philippines.
Article 6 is a renunciation by both nations
of their respective claims against each other
and the citizens of each other.
Article 7 grants to Spanish trade and ship*
ping in the Philippines the same treatment
as American trade and shipping for a period
of ten years.
Article 8 provides for the release of all
prisoners of war held by Spain, and of ail
prisoners held by her for political offenses
committed in the colonies acquired by the
United States.
Article 9 guarantees the legal rights of
Spaniards remaining in Cuba.
Article 10 establishes religrious freedom
in the Philippines and guarantees to aU
churches equal rights.
Article 11 provides for the composition of
courts and other tribunals in Puerto Ulco
and Cuba.
Article 12 provides for the administration
of Justice in Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Article 13 provides for the continuance for
five years ef Spanish copyrights in the
ceded territories, giving Spanish books ad-
mittance free of duty.
Article 14 provides for the establishment
of consulates by Spain in the ceded terri-
tories.
Article 15 grants to Spanish commerce in
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines the
same treatment as to Americans for ten
years, Spanish shipping to be treated as
coasting vessels.
Article 16 stipulates that the obligations
of the United States to Spanish citizens and
property in Cuba shall terminate with the
withdrawal of the United States authpritles
from the island.
Article 17 provides that the treaty most
be ratified within six months from the date
of signing by the respective governments In
order to be binding.
The signing of this treaty on the 10th of
December, 1898, took place 233 days after
the ultimatum given Spain was adopted by
congress, on the 19th of April, 1898. The
last act of the war was the surrender of
Manila on the 15th of August. The peace
commission met Oct. 1, 1898, and in forty-
one days the treaty of peace was completed
for presentation to the senate of the United
States and the cortes of Spain for ratillca-
tion.

ZIONISM.
THE JEWISH MOVBMBNT TOWABD PALESTINE.
(67 Leon Zolotkoff.)
"ZioHlsm*' is a word of rery recent coin-
a^, bvt the Idea it conveys is as old as tbe
Jewish people. Etymologically "ZIon"
means in Hebrew an object of prominence,
of distinction, also a monument. Topo-
f graphically it was formerly used to des-
gnate an elevation centrally located in the
old city of Jerusalem and known as the
"City of David," the place being dis-
tinguished by the most important national
structures— the citadel of David and royal
residences having been erected there. As Je.
rusalem was the heart of the Jewish state,
so Zion was the heart of Jerusalem. "Zion'*
and "Jerusalem" gradually became synony-
mous and interchangeable nouns. "For out
of Zion shall go forth the law and the word
of the Lord from Jerusalem" is one of the
many parallelisms, so characteristic of the
scriptures, in which these two nouns are
symmetrically placed as synonyms. In the
time of the prophets the conception of Zion
broadened considerably and became sym-
bolic of nation, country, state and religion
all combined. In this sense the word "Zion"
has been applied bv the Psalmists, by the
bards of the second Jewish empire, by the
originatora of the vast post-biblical litera-
ture, by the men of the great synagogue, by
the authors and compilers of the rich Jew-
ish liturgT and by the neo-Hebralc authom,
poets and "elegists" of the mi^le ages.
Modem Hebrew authors of our days employ
the noun "Zion" in the same sense. Thus
"Zionism" represents the national idea in
Judaism, or, in other words, it is Judaism
in the consciousness of its racial traditions
and national importance. It has always
represented and it still represents the mani-
festations, all the aspirations of the Jew-
ish people, and all that which characterizes
a nation in its entirety.
When Israel was in its infancy the na-
tional idea manifested itself in the narrow
form of clannishness and tribal seclusive-
ness, but with the material and spiritual
growth of the people during the centuries
of their national existence the national
idea broadened and deepened until it
assumed the shape of a message to the
world. The recognition of the unity of God
by all nations and the ultimate establish-
ment of the reign of Justice and righteous-
ness on earth were the principal features of
that message. But while the great seers
in Israel were dreaming of the trlumpbs
of the human race, of universal peace, of
achievement sublime and noble, zion— not
the spiritual Zion. which is a latter-aay in-
vention, but the real Zion— was to them the
source whence all those glorious develop-
ments were to emanate. Under the most
trying and despairing conditions of the peo-
ple they were proclaiming their hope of
seeing the nation free and independent.
They never admitted the possibility of
Israel's disappearance as a nation. This
kindling love for the nation and the en-
thusiasm for the country may perhaps ac-
count for the almost superhnman endurance
and for the persistence manifested by the
Jewish people in their unequal struggle
against world-conquering Rome.
With the destniction of the Jewish state
the hold which Zion had upon the minds and
hearts of the nation became still stronger.
The active heroism of the people had been
crushed, after hundreds of thousands of
brave Jewish warriors had fallen on tbe
battlefields, victims of their loyalty to Zion,
but their national hope remained unim-
paired. The brutal clearing of Palestine
of its Jewish inhabitants by the Romans
had only increased the yearning of the Jevvs ]
for their home, and that yearning seems to
have increased in intensity as the centuries
were rolling by. Their hearts were aching
while they remembered their land, their
cities and their mountains long after the
downfall of Rome.
From the depth of their sorrow a stream
of national poetry sprang forth, whleli per-
FLAG OF THE ZIONISTS.
(White, with two blue stripes, the field bearing
the six-pointed star, "the sign of David.")
vaded every fiber of their material and
spiritual life, and their very existence be-
came an incessant longing for the restora-
tion of Zion. That longing was the key-
note to their daily prayers and of their
songs, it was their only thought and dream.
In the earlier part of the twelfth century
"Zionides" were composed by Rabbi Jehu-
dah Halevi of Toledo, of whom Heine said:
"His songs were a pillar of fire that pre-
ceded Israel in the wilderness of its exile."
A faint idea of them may be conveyed bj
the following*:
"O city of the world, beautiful and majestic,
For thee I long from distant western home.

In 1882, immediately after the first out-
break of anti-Jewish excesses in Russia,
there appeared a pamphlet entitled "Auto-
Emancipation," by Dr. PInsker, an Odessa
physician. It had for a motto the saying of
Hillel: "Pf I will not do for myself, who
will?" This little work stood out prominent-
ly in the whole mass of literature on the so-
called "Jewish question" in Europe in those
days. For the first time in centuries, per-
haps, the activity of an independent Jewish
spirit became perceptible. "Help yourself
and Grod will help you!" was the ba0lc idea
of that little book; the goal, however, for
which the Jewish people were to strive was.
according to the author, not their "holy'*
land, but their "own land." He cared little
or not at all where such land might be
found, provided it were found. While he rec-
ognisea the hopelessness of the condition of
the vast population of his people who are
the victims of persecution and saw their
only salvation in a great national effort, he
at the same time ignored to a great extent
the latent forces of a common history, of
common traditions and religion. The "Auto-
Bmancipation," by Dr. PInsker, was soon
supplemented by another work in Hebrew
entitled "Arukath-bath-Anai" (The Cure of
My People), from the pen of a highly learned,
popular, charitable and venerable German
rabbi. Dr. J. Rulf, who very ably demon-
strated that only the holy land can be the
Jews' own land.
In this spirit resolutions were adopted by
a very timid assembly of delegates from
various "Hov've Zion" associations, which
was convened in November, 1884, at the town
of Kattowitz, Prussia. A short time there-
after a society of Jewish university students
and academicians was formed in Vienna
under the name of "Kadimah" (Forward)
and to it the Palestinian movement owes its
modem name of "Zionism." Similar or-
ganizations sprang into existence in almost
every university of Europe where Jewish
students were matriculated in sufficient
numbers. The greater part of the Jewish
press became Zlonlstic in its tendency, and
new Zlonlstic periodicals of every kind and
description were greatly multiplied.
Then all of a sudden the Zionistic move-
ment experienced an impetus from an almost
unexpected quarter. Out of the ranks of
the so-called emancipated Jewry of western
Europe, where for half a century the tend-
ency to cast off every distinction of a Jew-
ish nationality manifested itself strongly, a
champion for the Jewish national cause
stepped forward in the person of Dr. Theo-
dor Herzl, Journalist and playwright. Al-
most a stranger to his own people and to
their hopes and aspirations, but moved sole-
ly by sympathy at the depth of their misery,
he undertook to solve the Jewish problem—
on paper,at least. Owing to his keen insight
into tne political and economical affairs of
the world and the intuition of an able publi-
cist, he arrived at the same conclusions
which others had reached by their national
instinct. He placed his ideas before the pub-
lic in a book entitled "Judenstaat," which
was published about five years ago and at-
tracted the attention of the civilized world.
In it he urged self-help on the people, thus
utilizing their national feeling, and, at the
same time, sought to impress upon the
world outside of Judaism that the powers
would be greatly benefited by* a solution of
the vexed Jewish question through their na-
tional restoration to their old, historical
home. Dr. Herzl was carried so far by
his ideas that he piade the cause of
his people the object of his life and
continued— and still continues— to work
unremittingly in that direction. Another
champion of Zionism— of a similar type,
but still more unexpected— appeared In
the person of Dr. Max Nordau, one of tlie
keenest-minded and most brilliant men In
Europe, and the possessor of extraordinary
powers both as an orator and as a writer.
These two men soon formed the center of a
large circle of bright and intelligent men all
over Europe and in vatrious walks of life,
who took up the Zionistic agitation in their
respective countries.
Their endeavors have culminated thus far
in the two Zionistic congresses held In irSasie,
Switzerland, in August, 1897, and in August.
1898. respectively. The programme adopted
by the first congress is as f<dlows:
"The aim of Zionism is to create for the
Jewish people a publicly, legally assured
home in Palestine.
"In order to attain this object the con-
gress adopts the following means:
"1. To promote the settlement in Pales^
tine of Jewish agriculturists, handicrafts-
men, industrialists and men following pro-
fessions.
"2. The centralization of the Jewish peo-
ple by means of general institutions agree-
ably to the laws of the land.
"3. To strengthen Jewish sentiments and
national self -conscience.
"4. To obtain the sanction of governments
to the carrying out of the objects of Zion-
ism."
As one of the means to the end for which
the Zionists are striving the first congress
proposed the establishment of a Jewish colo-
nial bank, which would serve the purpose by
the concentration and economical consolida-
tion of Jewish capital and Jewish productive
powers in one land, namely in Syria and Pal-
estine. The second congress snowed a con-
siderable progress of the scheme and an-
nounced that the bank would commence op-
erations with a capital stock of 110,000,000
in London before the expiration of one year.
The capital is being raised by a popular snb>
scription. The par value of each share is £1.
The latest Information regarding the Zion-
istic movement justifies the assumption that
this last section of its pn^^mme also is re-
ceiving due attention on the part of the
leaders, whose efforts, thus far, have met
with considerable success.

PRESIDENTS OF THB UNITED STATES.

The following two dispatches appeared in
the press during the month of November,
1898:
"London, Nov. 4.— On Wednesday, Nov. 2,
the German emperor received a Jewish depu-
tation in Jerusalem. He was presented with
an album containing views of the Jewish
colonies in the hoiy land. In reply to the
address of the chief of the deputation, Dr.
Herzl, his majesty said that all such en-
deavors to improve the agriculture of Pal-
estine are in the best interest of the Turkish
empire, in full recognition of the sultan's
sovereign rights, and might be made in com-
f»lete reliance upon the kaiser's benevolent
nterest.*'
"London, Nov. 17.— The Daily Mall says:
An important result of Emperor William's
tour is an agreement on the part of the sul-
tan to give his benevolent sanction to the
Zionist movement."
Of the extraordinarily rapid growth of
the movement one can form an idea by com-
paring the reM)ective attendance of the two
congresses. The congress of 1897 was at-
tended by 160 delegates, representing about
350 Zionistic organizations. The second con-
gress was composed of about 360 delegates,
representing over 900 organizations, scat-
tered over our globe.
It would seem that the nineteenth century
marvels of intercommunication have made
it possible for the Jewish people to attempt
to bridge the wide chasm in their common
history.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
IIE88AGS8 OF THE PBBSISEVT.
DESTRUCTION OP THE MAINE.
On the 28th of March, 1898, the president
sent the following message to congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor our consular rep-
resentatives pointed out the advantages to
flow from the visit of national ships to the
Cuban waters, in accustoming the people to
the presence of our flag as the symbol of
good will and of our ships in the fulfillment
of the mission of protection to American
Interests, even though no immediate need
therefor might exist.
Accordingly, on Jrn. 24 last, after confer-
ence with the SpaLlsh minister, in which
the renewal of visits of our war vessels to
Spanish waters was discussed and accepted,
the peninsular authorities at Madrid and
Havana were advised of the purpose of this
government to resume friendly naval visitp
at Cuban ports, and that In that view the
Maine would forthwith call at the port of
Havana. This announcement was received
bv the Spanish government with apprecia-
tion of the friendly character of the visit
of the Maine, and with notification of in-
tention to return the courtesy by sending
Spanish ships to the principal ports of the
United States. Meanwhile the Maine en-
tered the port of Havana on Jan. 26, her
arrival being marked with no special inci-
dent besides the exchange of customary and
ceremonial visits.
The Maine continued in the harbor of Ha-
vana during the three weeks following her
arrival. No appreciable excitement at-
tended her stay. On the contrary, a feeling
of relief and confidence followed the re-
sumption of the long interruption of
friendly Intercourse. So noticeable was this
immediate effect of her visit that the con-
sul-general strongly urged that the presence
of our ships in Cuban waters should be
kept up by retaining the Maine at Havana
or in the event of her recall by sending an-
other vessel there to take her place.
At 9:40 in the evening of Feb. 16 the Maine
was destroyed by an explosion, by which
the entire forward part of the cabin was
utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two
officers and 268 of her crew perished, those
who were not killed outright by her explo-
sion being penned between decks by the
tangle of wreckage and drowned by the im-
mediate sinking of the hull. Prompt as-
sistance was rendered by the neighboring
vessels anchored in the harbor, aid being es-
pecially given by the boats of the Spanish
cruiser Alfonso XII. and the Ward line
steamer City of Washington, which lay not
far distant. The wounded were generously
cared for bv the authorities of Havana, the
hospitals being freely opened to them,
while the earliest recovered bodies of the
dead were Interred by the municipality In a
public cemetery In the city. Tributes of
grief and sympathy were offered from all
official quarters of the island.
The appalling calamity fell upon the peo-
ple of our country with crushing force, and
for a brief time an intense excitement pre-
vailed, which in a community less just and
self-controlled than ours might have led to
hasty acts of blind resentment. This spirit,
however, soon gave way to the calmer
ftrocesses of reason and to the resolve to
nvestlgate the facts and await the mate-
rial proof before forming a judgment as to
the cause, the respoDsibilitT, and, if the
facts warranted, tne remedy due.. . This
course necessarily recommended itself from
the outset to the executive, for only in the
light of a dispassionately ascertained cer-
tainty could ft determine the nature and
measure of its foil duty in the matter.
The usual procedure was followed as in
all cases of casualty or disaster to national
vessels of any maritime state. A naval
court of inquiry was at once organized,
composed of ofllcers well qualified by rank
and practical experience to discharge the
onerous duty imposed upon them. Aided by
a strong force of wreckers and divers, the
court proceeded to make a thorough investl-
fation on the spot, employing every avalla-
le means for the impartial and exact de-
termination of the causes of the explosion.
Its operations have been conducted with the
utmost deliberation and judgment, and
while independently pursued no source of
information was neglected and the fullest
opportunity was allowed for a simultane-
ous Investigation by the Spanish authorities.
The finding of the court of inquiry was
reached, after twenty-three days of continu-
ous labor, on the 21st of March Inst., and,
having been approved on the 22d by the
commander-in-cnlef of the United States
naval force on the North Atlantic station,
was transmitted to the executive.
It is herewith laid before the congress, to-
gether with the voluminous testimony
taken before the court. Its purport is, in
brief, as follows: . ^ ^ „ w
**When the Maine arrived at Havana she
was conducted bv the regular government
pilot to buoy No. 4, to which she was
moored in from five and one-half to six
fathoms of water. The state of discipline
on board and the condition of her maga-
zines, boilers, coal bunkers and storage
compartments are passed In review, with
the conclusion that excellent order pre-
vailed and that no indication of any cause
for an internal explosion existed In any
quarter. . , ^ ^ . ^^
"At 8 o'clock in the evening of Feb. 16
everything had been reported secure and
all was quiet. ^ „ ^^ i
••At forty minutes past 9 the vessel was
suddenly destroyed. ^. ^, ^ , ,
••There were two distinct explosions,
with a brief interval between them. The
first lifted the forward part of the ship very
perceptibly: the second, which was more
prolonged, is attributed by the court to the
partial explosion of two or more of the for-
ward magazines. . .. ^
••The evidence of the divers establishes
that the after part of the ship Was prac-
tically intact and sunk in that condition a
very few minutes after the explosion. The
fon^'ard part was completely demolished.
"Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-
ternal cause the finding of the court is as
follows:
••At frame 17 the outer shell of the ship^
from a point eleven and one-half feet from
the middle line of the ship and six feet
above the keel when in its normal position,
has been forced up so as to be now about
four feet above tne surface of the water;
therefore, about thirty-four feet above
where it would be had the ship sunk unin-
jured.
"The outside bottom plating is bent into
a reversed 'V shape, the after wing of

which, about fifteen feet broad and thirty-
two feet In length (from frame 17 to frame
25), is doubled back upon itself, against the
continuation of the same plating extending
forward.
**At frame 18 the yertlcal keel is broken
in two and keel bent into an angle similar
to the angle formed for the outside plates.
This break is about six feet below the sur-
face of the water and about thirty feet
above itsliormal position.
**In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the ex-
plosion of a mine situated under the bottom
of the ship, at about frame 18. and some-
what on the port side of the ship.
"The conclusions of the court are: That
the loss of the Maine was not in any respect
due to fault or negligence on the part of
any of the officers or members of her crew.
**That the ship was destroyed by the ex-
plosion of a submarine mine, which caused
the partial explosion of two or more of
her lorward magazines; and.
"That no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the destruction
of the Maine upon any person or persons."
I have directed that the finding of the
court of inquiry and the views of the gov-
ernment thereon be communicated to the
fovemment of her majesty the queen, and
do not permit myself to doubt that the
sense of justice of the Spanish nation will
dictate a course of action suggested by
honor and the friendly relations of the two
governments.
It was the duty of the executive to ad-
vise the congress of the result, and In tho
meantime deliberate consideration Is in-
voked. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, March 28, 1898.
THE WAB MESSAGE.
To tiie Gongrees of the Doited States:
Obedient to that precept of the constitution
which commandB the president to give twom
time to time the congress InfonDatfon of the
state of the union and to recommend to their
con»lderatioD such measures as he shell
Judge necessary and e&pedlent, it becomes
my duty now to address your body with re-
gard to the grave crisis that has arisen In
the relations of the United States to Sl)ain
by reasoti of the warfare that for more than
three years has raged in the neighboring is-
land of Cuba.
I do so because of the intimate connection
of the Cuban question with the state of our
own union and the grave relation the course
which it is now incumbent upon the nation
to adopt must needs beer to the traditional
policy of our government If it is to accord
with the precepts laid down by the founders
of the republic and religiously observed by
succeeding administrations to the present
day.
The recent revolution 1« but the successor
of other slmUair insurrections which have
occurred in Cuba against the dominion of
^ain, extending over a i>eriod of nearly half
\a century, eech of which, during its prog-
ress, has subjected the tJnitied States to
great effort and expense in enforcing Its
neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to
the American trade and commerce, caused
irritation, annoyance and disturbance among
our citizens, and, by the exercise of cruel,
barbarous and uncivilized practices of war-
fare, shocked the sensibilities and offended
the humane sympathies of our p(>ople.
Since the present revolution began, in Feb-
ruary, 1895, this country hes seen the fertile
domain at our threshold ravaged by fire and
sword in the course of a struggle unequaled
in the history of the island and rarely paral-
leled es to the number of the comlwtants
and the bitterness of the contest by any
revolution of modem times where a de-
pendent people, striving to be free, have
been opposed by the power of the sovereign
stete.
Our people have beheld a once prosperous
community reduced to comparative want, its
commerce virtually paralyzed, its exception-
al productiveness diminished, its fields laid
waste, its mills in ruins and its people per-
iling by tens of thousands from hunger and
destitution.
We have found ourselves constrained, in
the observance of that strict neutrality
which our laws enjoin and which the law of
naMons commands, to police our own waters
and watch our own seaports in prevention
of any unlawful act in aid of the Ouband.
Our trade has suffered; the capital In-
vested by our citizens in Cuba has been
largely lost, end the temper and forbearance
of our people have been so sorely tried as to
beget a perilous unrest among our own citi-
zens, which has inevitably found its expres-
sion from time to time in the nati<Hiail legis-
lature, so that Issues wlioUy external to our
own body politic engross attention and stand
in the way of that dose devotion to domes-
tic advancement that becomes a self-con-
tented commonweelth, whose primal maxim
has been the avoidance of all foreign en-
tanslementa.
All this must needs awaken and has in-
deed aroused the utmost concern on the part
of this government, as well during my pred-
ecessor's adxninistiation as my own.
In April, 1896. the evils from whix^b our
country suffered through the Cubsn war be-
came so onerous that my predecessor made
an effort to bring about a peace through
the mediation of this government in any
way that might tend to an honorable ad-
justment of the contest between Spain and
her revolted colony on the basis of some
effective scheme of self-government for Cuba
under the flag and sovereignty of Spain. It
failed through the refusal of the ^lanlsh
government then in power to consider any
form of mediation, or. Indeed, any idan of
settlement which did not begin with the
actual submission of the insurgents to the
mother country, and then only on such
terms as &paln herself might see fit to
irrant.
The* war continued unabated. The resist-
ance of the insurgents was in nowise dimin-
ished.
The efforts of Spain were increased, both
by the dispatch of fresh levies to Cuba
end by the addition to the horrors of the
strife of a new and inhuman i^ase hai^ily
unprecedented in the modern histoiy of
civilized Christian peoples.
The policy of devastation and concentra-
tion inaugurated by the oaptain-genenBi's
order of Oct. 21, 1896, in the province of
Plnar d«l Rio. was thence extended to em-
brace all of tne Island to which the power
of the Spanish arms was able to reach by
occupation or by military operations.
The peasantry, including all dwelling in
the open agricultural interior, were driven
into the garrison towns or isolated places
held by the troops. 'Hie raising and move-
ment of provisions of all kinds were Inter-
dicted. The fields were laid waste, dwell-

logs unvoofed and fired, mills destroyed,
and, in abort, eyerythiiur tbat could desolate
the land and render It unfit for human
IiabitatioQ or support was commanded hj
one or the other of the contending parties,
and executed by all tbe powers at tbeir dis-
posal.
By th^ time the present adndnistratlon
took office, a year ago, reconcentration— so
called— had been made effective over the
better part of the four central and wecrtern
provinces— Santa CAara, Malansuis, Havana
and Pinar del Rio. The agricultural popu-
lation, to the estimated number of 300,000 or
more, was herded within the towns and their
immediate vicinage, deprived of the means
of support, rendered destitute of shelter,
left poorly clad and exposed to the most un-
sanitaiT conditions.
As the scarcity of food increased with the
devastation of the depopulated areas of pro-
duction, destitution and want became misery
and starvation. Month by month the death
rate increased in an alarming ratio.
By March, 1897, according to conservative
estimates from official Spanish sources, the
mortality among the reconcentrados from
starvation and the diseases thereto incident
exceeded 50 per centum of their total num-
ber.
No practical relief was accorded to the
destitute. The overburdened towns, already
suffering from the general dearth, could give
no aid. So-called zones of cultivation, es-
tablished within the immediate area of ef-
fective military conitrol about the cities and
fortified camps, proved illusory as a remedy
for the suffering. The unfortunates, being
for the most part women and children, with
aged and helpless men enfeebled by disease
and hunger, could not have tilled the soil
without tools, seed or shelter for their'own
support or for the supply of the cities.
Reconcentration, adopted avowedly as a
war measure in order to cut off the resources
of the insnigents, wo4*ked its predestined
result. As 1 said in my message of last
December, it was not civilized warfare; it
was extermination. The only peace it could
beget was that of the wilderness and the
gnave.
Meanwhile the military situation in the
island had undei^one a noticeable change.
The extraordinary activity that- character-
ized the second year of the war, when the
insurgents invaded even the hitherto un-
harmed fields of Pinar del Rio and carried
havoc and destitution up to the walls of the
city of Havana itself, nad relapsed into a
dogged struggle in the central and eastern
provinces. The Spanish arms regained a
measure of control in Pinar del Rio and
parts of Havana, but under the existing con>
ditions of the rural country without imme-
diate improvement of their productive situa-
tion. •
Even thus partially restricted the revolu-
tionists held their own, and their submis-
sion, put forward by ^ain as the essential
and sole ba«is of peace, seemed as fax di»-
tant as at the outset.
In this state of affairs my administration
found itself confronted with the grave prob-
lem of its duty. My message of last De-
cember reviewed the situation and detailed
the steps taken with a view of relieving its
aeuteness and opening the way to some form
of honorable settlement.
The assassination of the prime minister,
.Oanovas. led to a change of government in
Spain. The former administration, pledged
to subjugation without concessions gave
place to that of a more liberal party, com-
mitted l(Nig in advance to a policy of reform
involving the wider principle of home rule
for Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The overtures of this government, made
through its new envoy. Gen. Woodford, and
looking to an immediate and effective
amelioration of the condition of tlie island,
although not accepted to the exteot of ad-
mitted mediation in any shape, were met by
assurances that home rule, in an advanced
phase, would be forthwith offered to Cube
without waiting for the war to end, and
that more humane methods should thence-
forth prevail in the conduct of hostilities.
Incidentally with these declaratioi^ the
new goternment of Spain continned and!
completed the policy already begun by its
Sredecessor of testifying friendly regard for
bis nation by releasing American citiaens
held under one charge or another connected
with the insurrection, so that by the end of
November not a single person entitled in any
way to our national protection remained in
a Spanish prison.
While these negotiations were in progress
the increasing destitution of the unfortunate
reconcentrados and the alarming mortality
among them claimed earnest attention. The
success which had attended the limited
measure of relief extended to the crafleriog
American citizens among them by tbe jucU-
cious expenditure through the consular
agencies of the money appropriated express-
ly for their succor by the joint resolution
approved May 24, 1897, prompted the hu-
mane extension of a similar scheme of aid
to this end and was acquiesced in. by the
Sipanish authorities.
On the 24th of December last I caused to
be issued an appeal to the American people,
inviting contributions in money or in kind
for the succor of the starving sufferers in
Cuba, following this on the 8th of January
by a i^milar public announcement of the
formation of a central Cuban relief commit-
tee, with headquarters in New York city,
composed of three members representing the
American National Red C^oss and the relig-
ious and business elements of the commu-
nity.
The efforts of that committee have been
untiring and accomplished much. Arrange-
ments for free transportBtI(m to Cuba have
greatly aided the charitable work. The
president of the American Red Cross and
representatives of other contributory organ-
izations have generously visited Cuba and
co-operated with the ccmsul-general and the
local authorities to make effective distribu-
tion of the relief collected through the ef-
forts of the central committee.
Nearly $200,000 in money and supplies has
already reached the sufferers, and more Is
forthcoming. The sui^lies are admitted
duty free, and transportation to the interior
has been arranged, so that the relief, at»
first necessarily confined to Havana and the
larger cities, is now extended through most
if not all of the towns where suffering ex-
ists. Thousands of lives have already t)een
The necessity for a change In the condi-
tion of the reconcentrados is recognised by
the Spanish government. Within a few
days past the orders of Gen. Weyler have
been revoked; the reconcentrados are, it \B
said, to be permitted to return to their
homes and aided to resume the self-sn^
porting pursuits of peace; public wMfct

have been ordered to give them employ-
ment, aod a Bum of $600,000 has been ap-
propriated for their relief.
The vrar in Caba is of such a nature that
shovt of subjugatioD or extermination a
final military victory for either side seems
impracticable. The alteraative lies in the
I physical exhaustion of the one or the other
party, or perhaps of both — a condition which
in effect ended the ten years war by the
trace of Zanjon. The prospect of finch a
protraction and coneloslon of the present
strife is a contingency tiardly to be con-
templated with equanimity by the civilized
world, and least of all by the United States,
affected and injured as we are, deeply and
intimately, by its very existence.
Realizing this, it appeared to be my duty,
in a spirit of true friendliness no less to
Spain than to the Cubans, who have so
much to lose by the prolongation of the
straggle, to seek to bring about an im-
mediate termination of tbe war. To this
I end 1 submitted, on the 27th ult., as a re-
sult of much representation and correspond-
ence, through the United States minister at
Madrid, propositions to the Spanish govern-
ment looking to an armistice until Oct 1 for
the negotiation of peace with the good
offices of the president.
In addition, I asked the immediate revo-
cation of the order of reconcentiation, so as
to permit the people to return to theif farms
i, and the needy to ne relieved with provisions
and supplies from tbe United States, co-
I operating with the Spanish authorities so
as to afford full relief.
The reply, of the Spanish cabinet was re-
ceived on the night of the 81st ult. It of-
fers, as the means to bring about peace in
Cube, to confide the preparation thereof to
the Insular department, inasmuch as tbe
concurrence of that body would be neces-
sary to reach a final result, it being, how-
ever, understood that the powers reserved
by the constitution to the central govern-
ment are not lessened or diminished.
As the Cuban jmrllament does not meet
until tbe 4th of May next, the Spanish gov-
ernment would not object, for its part, to
accept at once a suspension of hostilities if
asked for by the Insurgents from tbe gen-
eral-in-chlef, to whom It would pertain, in
such case, to determine the duration and
conditions of the armistice.
The propositions submitted by Gen. Wood-
ford and the reply of .the Spanish govern-
ment were both in the form of brief memo-
randa, the texts of which are before me,
and are substantially in the language above
given. The function of the Cuban parlia-
ment in the matter of "preparing" peace
and tbe manner of its doing so are not ex-
pressed in the Spanish memorandum, but
from Gen. Woodford's explanatory reports
of preliminary discussions preceding the
final conference it is understood that the
Spanish government stands ready to give
the insular congress full powers to settle
the terms of peace with the insurgents,
whether by direct negotiation or indirectly
by means of legislation does not appear.
' With this last overture in the direction of
immediate peace and Its disappointing re-
ception by Spain, the executive was brought
to the end of his effort.
In my annaal message of December last I
said :
"Of the untried measures there remain:
Recognition of the Insurgents as belliger-
ents, recognition of the independence of
Cuba, neutral intervention to end the war
by imposing a rational compromise between
the contestants, and intervention in favor of
one or the other party, 1 speak not of forci-
ble annexation, for that cannot be thought
of. That, by our code of morality, would be
criminal aggression."
Thereupon I reviewed these alternatives
In the light of President Grant's measured
words, uttered in 1875, when after seven
years of sanguinary, destructive and cruel
barbarities in Cuba he reached the conclu-
sion that tbe rec(^nltlon of the independ-
ence of Cuba was impracticable and in-
defensible, and that the recognition of bel-
ligerence was not warranted by the facts,
according to the tests of public law. I
commented especially upon the latter aspect
of the question, pointing out the incon-
veniences and positive dangers of a recogni-
tion of belligerency, which, while adding to
the already onerous burdens of neutrality
within our own Jurisdiction, could not in
any way extend our Influence or effective
offices in the territory of hostilities.
Nothing has since occurred to change my
view in this regard, and I recognize as fully
now as then that the issuance of a procla-
mation of neutrality, by which process the
so-called rec(^nltion of belligerence Is pub-
lished, could of itself and unattended by
other action accomplish nothing toward the
one end for which we labor, the instant
pacification of Cuba and the cessation of the
misery that affilcts the island.
Turning to the question of recognizing at
this time the Independence of the present
insurgent government in Cuba, we find safe
precedents in our history from an early day.
They are well summed up in President Jack-
son's message to congress Dec. 21, 1836, on
the subject of the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Texas. He said:
"In all the contests that have arisen out
of the revolution of France, out of the jdis-
putes relating to tne crews of Portugal and
Spain, out of the separation of the Amer-
ican possessions of both from the European
governments, and out of the numerous and
constantly occurring struggles for dominion
in Spanish America, so wisely consistent
with our Just principles has been the action
of our government that we have under the
most critical circumstances avoided all cen-
sure, and encountered no other evil than
that produced by a transient estrangement
of good will in those against whom we have
been by force of evidence compelled to de-
cide. It has thus been made known to the
world that the uniform policy and practice
of the United States is to avoid all Inter-
ferences In disputes which merely relate to
the internal government of other nations,
and eventually to recognize the authority of
the prevailing party, without reference to
our particular Interests and views or to the
merits of the original controversy.
"But on this, as on every other trying oc-
casion, safety is to be found in a rigid ad-
herence to principle. In the contest between
Spain and tbe revolted colonies we stood
aloof and waited not until the ability of the
new states to protect themselves was fully
established, but until the danger of their
being again subjugated had entirely passed
away. Then, and not until then, were they
recognized. Such was our course in regard
to Mexico herself.
"It is true that with regard to Texas the
civil authority of Mexico had been expelled.

its inyadiiMr army defeated, the chief of the
republic himself captured, and all present
power to ooDtrol the newl/ otvanized gov-
ernment of to-day annihilated within its
confines. But on the other band there is in
appearance at least an immense disparity
of physical force on the side of Texas^ The
Mexican republic under another executire is
rallying its fovces under a new leader and
menacing a fresh invasion to recover its lost
dominion. Upon the issue of this threatened
invasion the independence of Texas may be
considered as suspended, and, were there
nothing peculiar in the attitude (^ the
United States and Texas, our aclcnowledg-
ment of its independence at such a crisis
could scarcely be regarded as consistent
with that prudent reserve with which we
have hitherto held ourselves bound to treat
all similar questions."
Thereupon Andrew Jackson proceeded to
consider the. risk that there might be im-
puted to the United States motives of self-
ish interests, in view of the fo>rmer claim
on our part to the territory of Texas and of
the avowed purpose of the Texans in seek-
ing recognition of independence as an inci-
dent to the incorporation of Texas in the
union, concluding thus:
"Prudence, therefore, seems to dictate
that we should still stand aloof and main-
tain our present attitude, if not until Mex-
ico itself or one of the great foreign pow-
ers shall recognize the independence of the
new government, at least until the lapse of
time or the course of events shall have
proved beyond cavil or dispute the abilitv of
the people of tiiat country to maintain their
separate sovereignty and to uphold the gov-
ernment constituted by them.
"Neither of the contending parties can
Justly complain of this course. By pursuing
it we are but carrying out the Icmg-estab-
lished policy of our government, a policy
which has secured to us respect and influ-
ence abroad and inspired confidence at
home."
These are the words of the resolute and
patriotic Jackson, They are evidence that
the United States, in addition to the test
imposed by public law as the condition of
the recognition of independence by a neu-
tral state— to wit, that the revolted states
shall "constitute in fact a body politic,
having a government In substance as well
as in name, possessed.^ of the elements of
stability," and forming de facto, "if left to
itself, a state among the nations, reason-
ably capable of discharging the duties of a
state"— has imposed for its own governance
in dealing with cases like these the further
condition that recognition of independent
statehood is uot due to a revolted depend-
ency until the danger of its being again sub-
jugated by the parent state has entirely
passed away.
This extreme test was in fact applied In
the case of Texas. The congress to whom
President Jackson referred the question as
one "probably leading to war" and there-
fore a proper subject for "a previous under-
standing with that body, by whom war can
alone be declared, and by whom all the pro-
visions for sustaining its perils must be
furnished," left the matter of the recogni-
tion of Texas to the discretion of the execu-
tive, providing merely for the sending of a
diph)matic agent when the president should
be satisfied that the republic of Texas had
become "an independent state." It was so
recognized by President Van Buren, who
commissioned a charge d'affaires March 1i
1837, after Mexico bad abandoned an at
tempt to reconquer the Texan territory an
when there was at the time no bona-'
contest going on between the insurgent proi
ince ana its former sovereign.
I said in my message of December last:
"It is to be seriously considered whethi
the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond di
pute the attributes of statehood, whlc
alone can demand the recognition of bell
erency in Its favor."
The same requirement must certaiidy
no less seriously considered when the graT(
issue of recognizing independence is in que
tion, for no less positive test can be ai^lie
to the greater act than to the lesser, wbi'
on the other hand the influences and
sequences of the struggle upon the intei
policy of the recognizing state, which for
important factors when the recognition
belligerency is concerned, are secondary,
not rightly eliminable factors when the rel
question is "whether the commhnity claimii
recogrnition is or is not independent beyoi
peradventure.
Nor from the standpoint of expedience
I think it would be wise or prudent for thl
government to recognize at the present tii
the so-called Cuban republic. Soch recoi
nition is not necessary in order to eoabi
the United States to intervene and padt
the island.
To conmiit this conntiy now to the
ognition of any particular government
Cuba might subject us to embarrassing coi
ditions of international obligations towai
the organization so recognized. In case
intervention our conduct would be subj
to the approval or disapproval of such f^r*l
ernments, vc would be required to 8nbmlt|
to its direction and to assume to It the mei
relation of a friendly ally.
When it shall appear hereafter that tbel
is within the island a government capabi
of performing the duties and dischargimi
the functions of a separate nation, and taafj
ing as a matter of fact the proper forr"^
and attributes of nationality, such govei
ment can be promptly and readily reeoj
nized and the relations and Interests of '
United States with such nation adjvsted^
There remain the alternative forms of il
tervention to end the war, either as an li
partial neutral by imposing a rational
promise between the contestants, op as tl
active ally of the one party or the otber.
As to the first, it is not to be forgottf
that during the last few months the reil
tlon of the United States has virtually "'"
one of friendly Intervention in many waj
each not of itself conclusive, but all tendll
to the exertion of a potential influence
ward an ultimate paciflc result just ai
honorable to all interests concerned.
The spirit of all our acts hitherto has
an earnest, unselfish desire for peace ai
prosperity in Cuba, untarnished by diffeS^
ences between us and Spain and unstaiai
by the blood of American citizens.
The forcible intervention of the Unlt<
States as a neutral to stop the war, accor
ing to the large dictates of humanity
following many historical precedents wb^
neighboring states have interfered to cti
the hopeless sacrifice of life by interoecl
conflicts beyond their borders, is Justlflai
on rational grounds. It involves, howev^l
hostile constraint upon both the parties
the contest as well to enforce a truce u
guide the eventual settlement.

and to Spain, as well as equitable to all our

not, the exigency of further and other ac-
tion by the United States will remain to be
taken.
*'When that time comes that action will
be determined in the line of indisputable
right and duty. It will be faced, without
misgiving or hesitancy, in the light of the
obligation this goyernment owes itself, to
the people who have confided to it the pro-
tection of their interests and honor, and to
humanity.
"Sure of the right, keeping free from all
offense ourselves, actuated only by upright
and patriotic considerations, moved neither
by passion nor selfishness, the government
wUl continue its watchful care over the
rights and property of American citizens,
and will abate none of its efforts to bring
about by peaceful agencies a peace which
shall be honorable and enduring. If it shall
hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by
our obligations to ourselves, to civilization
and humanity to intervene with force, it
shall be without fault on our part and only
because the necessity for sucn action will
be so clear as to command the support and
approval of the civilized world."
The long trial has proved that the object
for which Spain has waged the war cannot
be attained. The fire of insurrection may
flame or may smolder with varying seasons,
but it has not been and it is plain that it
cannot be extinguished by present methods.
The only hope of relief and repose from a
condition which cannot longer be endured is
the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the
name of humanity, in the name of civiliza-
tion, in behalf of endangered American in-
terests, which give us the right and duty to
speak and to act, the war In Cuba must
stop.
In view of these facts and these consid-
erations, I ask the congress to authorize and
empower the president to take measures to
secure a full and speedy termination of hos-
tilities between the government of Spain
and the people of Cuba, and to secure in the
Island the eErtablishment of a stable govern-
ment, capable of maintaining order and ob-
serving its international obligations, insur-
ing peace and tranquillity and the security
of its citizens, as well as our own, and to
use the military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary for these
purposes.
And in the interest of humanity and to
aid in preserving the lives of the starving
people of the island I recommend that the
distribution of food and supplies be con-
tinued and that an appropriation be made
out of the public treasury to supplement the
charity of our citizens.
The issue is now with the congress. It Ig
a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted
every effort to relieve the intolerable condi-
tion of affairs which is at our doors. Pre-
pared to execute every obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution and the law, I
await your action.
Yesterday and since the preparation of the
foregoing message official information was
received by me tnat the latest decree of the
queen regent of Spain directs Gen. Blanco,
in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to
Sroclalm a suspension of hostilities, the
uratlon and details jt which have not yet
been communicated to me. This fact, with
every other pertinent consideration, will, I
am sure, have your Just and careful atten-
tion in the solemn deliberations upon 'which
you are about to enter.
If this measure attains a successful re-
sult, then our aspirations as a Christian,
peace-loving people will be realized. If it
fails, it will be only another Jostlficatiou
for oar contemplated action.
WILLIAM M'KINLBX.
Executive Mansion, April 11, 1898.
FOB A DECLARATION OP WAB.
To the Senate and House of Repveseitta
tives of the United States of America:
I transmit to the congress for its consid-
eration and appropriate action copie* of cor
re8i>ondence rHcently had with the repvesent-
ative of 'Spain In the United States, witn
the United States minister at Madri^, and
through the latter with the government of
Spain, showing the action taken under the
Joint resolution approved April 20. 1898, '*for
the recognition of the independence of the
people of Cuba, demanding that the govern-
ment of Spain relinquish its authority and
government in the iJBland of Cuba and to
withdraw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the
{^resident of the United States to nse the
and and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect."
Upon communicatlncr with the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand which
it became the duty of the executive to ad-
dress to the government of Spain in obedi-
ence to said resolution, the said minister
asked for bis passports and withdrew.
The United States minister at Madrid
was in turn notified by the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs that the withdrawal of
the Spanish representative from the United
States had terminated dipIonjjBtlc relations
between the two countries, and that all of-
ficial communications between their respect-
ive representatives ceased therewith.
I recommend to your especial attention
the note addressed to the United Spates
minister at Madrid by the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs on the 21st inst., wheteby
the foregoing notification was conveyed. It
will be perceived therefrom that the govern-
ment of Spain, having cognizance of the
Joint resolution of the United States con-
fress, and in view of things which the presi-
ent is thereby required and authorized to
do, responds by treating the representative
demands of this government as measures of
hostility, following with that instant and
complete severance of relations by its ac-
tion whereby the usage of nations accom-
panies an existent state of war between
sovereign powers.
TIhe position of Spain bein^ thus BEUide
known and the demands of the United
States being denied with a complete rupture
of intercourse by the act of ^ain, I have
been constrained, in exercise of the power
and authority conferred upon me by the
Joint resolution aforesaid, to proclaim, un-
der date of April 22, 1898, a blockade of cer-
tain ports of the north coast of Cuba lying
between Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and of
the port of Cienfuegos on the south coast of
Cuba; and further, in exercise of my con-
stitutional powers and using the euthcHlty
conferred upon me by the act of congress
approved April 22, 1898, to issue a proclama-
tion, dated April 23. 1898, calling for volun-
teers In order to carry into effect the said
resolution of April 20. 1898.

The members of the crew who were with
Mr. Hobson on this memorable occasion
hare already been rewarded for their serv-
ices by advancement, which, under the pro>
visions of law and regulation, the secretary
of the navy was authorized to make, and the
nomination to the senate of Naval Cadet
Powell, who, in a steam launch, followed
the Merrimac on her perilous trip for the
purpose of resculoe her force after the sink-
ing of that vessel, to be advanced in rank
to the grade of ensign, has been prepared
and will be submitted.
Gushing, with whose gallant act in blow-
Ing up the ram Albemarle during the civil
war Admiral Sampson compares Mr. Hob-
son's sinking of the Merrimac, received the
thanks of congress, upon recommendation of
the president, by name, and was in conse-
quence, under the provisions of section 1608
of the revised statutes, advanced one grade,
such advancement embracing flfty-slx num-
bers. The section cited applies, however, to
line officers only, and Mr. Hobson, being a
member of the staff of the navy, could not
under its provisions be so advanced.
Iiwconsldering the question of suitably re-
warding Assistant Naval Constructor Hob-
son for his valiant conduct on the occasion
referred to I have deemed it proper to ad-
dress this message to you with the recom-
mendation that he receive the thanks of
congress, and, further, that he be trans-
ferred to the line of the navy and promoted
to such position therein as the president, by
and with the advice and consent of the sen-
ate, may determine. Mr. Hobson's transfer
from the construction corps to the line is
fully warranted, he having received the
necessary technical training as a graduate
of the naval academy, where he stood No. 1
in his class, and such action is recom-
mended partly in deference to what is un-
lerstood to be his own desire, although, he
^ing now a prisoner in the hands of the
enemy, no direct communication on the sub-
ject has been received from him, and partly
for the reason that the abilities displayed
by him at Santiago are of such a character
as to indicate especial fitness for the duties
of the line. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, June 27, 1898.
REWARD FOR LIEUT. NEWOOMB.
To the Congress of the United States: On
the 11th day of May, 1898, there occurred a
conflict in the bay of Cardenas, Cuba, in
which the naval torpedo boat Winslow was
disabled, her commander wounded and onei
of her officers and a part of her crew killed
by the enemy's fire.
In the face of a most galling lire from
the enemy's guns the revenue cutter Hud-
son, commanded by First Lieutenant Frank
H. Newcomb, United States revenue-cutter
service, rescued the disabled Winslow, her
wounded commander and remalQlns crew.
The commander of the Hudson kc^t nia Tea-
sel in the very hottest fire of the action, al-
though in constant danger of going ashore
on account of the shallow water, until be
finally got a line made fast to the Winslow
and towed that vessel out of range of the
enemy's guns, a deed of special gallantry.
I recommend that, in recognition of the
signal act of heroism of First Lieutenant
Frank H. Newcomb, United States revenue-
cutter service, above set forth, the thanks
of congress be extended to him and to his
officers and men of the Hudson, and a crold
medal of honor be presented Lieut. New-
comb, a silver medal of honor to each of his
officers and a bronse medal of honor to each
of his crew who served with him at Car-
denas.
It will be remembered that congress, by
appropriate action, recognised the several
commanders of ships of war for their serv-
ices in the battle of Manila, May 1, 1898.
GAPT. HODGSON REMEMBERED.
The commander of the revenue cutter
Hugh McCulloch, present and in active co-
operation with the fleet under Commodore
Dewey on that occasion (by executive order
under the provisions of section 2775, reTiaed
statutes), is the only commander of a na-
tional ship to whom promotion or adrance-
ment was not and could not be given, be-
cause he already held the highest rank
known to the revenue-cutter service.
i now recommend that, in recognition of
the efficient and meritorious services of
Capt. Daniel B. Hodgson, United States
revenue-cutter service, who commanded the
Hugh McCulloch at the battle of Manila
(that officer being now In the 63d year of his
age and having served continuously on
active duty for thirty-seven years), be
placed upon permanent waiting orders on
the retired list of the revenue-cutter service
on the full-duty pay of bis grade.

TEE PRESIDEirrS SEOOim ASVVAL MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: Notwithstanding the added burdens
rendered necessary by the war, our people
rejoice in a very satisfactory and steadily
Increasing degree of prosperity, evidenced
by the largest volume of business ever re-
corded.
Manufacture has been productive, agri-
cultural pursuits have yielded abundant re-
turns, labor In the fields of industry Is bet-
ter rewarded, revenue legislation passed by
the present congress has increased thf
treasury's receipts to the amount estimated
by its authors, the finances of the govern-
ment have been successfully administered
and its credit advanced to the first rank,
while its currency has been maintained at
the world's highest standard.
Military service under a common flag and
for a righteous cause has strengthened the
national spirit and served to cement more
closely than ever the fraternal bonds be-
tween every section of the country.
A review of the relation of the United
States to other powers, always appropriate,
is this year of primary importance in vieiK
of the momentous issues which have arisen,
demanding in one instance the ultimate de-
termination by arms and involving far-
reaching consequences which will require
the earnest attention of the congress.
In my last annual message very full con-
sideration was given to the question of the
duty of the government of the United
States toward Spain and the C^ban insur-
rection as being by far the most Important
problem with which we were then called
upon to deal. The considerations then ad-

Indeflnlter prolongation of which had become
Insufferable.
EFFORTS TO AVERT WAR.
Still animated by the hope of a peaceful
solution and obeying the dictates of duty,
no effort was relaxed to bring about a
speedy ending of the Cuban struggle. Ne-
gotlatlons to this object continued actively
with thie government of Spain, looking to
the immediate conclusion of a six months
armistice in Cuba with a yiew to effecting
the recognition of her people's right to in-
dependence. Besides this, the instant revo.
cation of the order of reconcentration was
asked, so that the sufferers, returning to
their homes and aided by united American
and Spanish effort, might be put in a way
to support themselves and by orderly re-
sumption of the well-nigh destroyed pro-
ductive energies of the island contribute to
the restoration of its tranquillity and well
being.
Negotiations continued for some little
time at Madrid, resulting in offers by the
Spanish government which could not but be
regarded as inadequate. It was proposed to
confide the preparation of peace to the
insular parliament, yet to be convened un-
der the autonomous decrees of November,
1897, but without impairment in any wise of
the constitutional powers of the Madrid
government, which, to that end, would
grant an armistice, if solicited by the in-
surgents, for such time as the general In
chief might see fit to fix.
How and with what scope of discretionary
powers the insular parliament was expected
to set about the "preparation" of peace did
not appear. If it were to be by negotiation
with the insurgents, the issue seemed to
rest on the one side with a body chosen by
a fraction of the electors in the districts
under Spanish control, and on the other
with the insurgent population holding the
interior country, unrepresented in the so-
called parliament, and defiant at the sug-
gestion of suing for peace.
Grieved and disappointed at this barren
outcome of my sincere endeavors to reach
a practicable solution, I felt it my duty to
remit the whole question to the congress.
In the message of April 1, 1898, I announced
that with this last overture in the direction
of immediate peace in Cuba, and its disap-
pointing reception by Spain, the effort of
the executive was brought to an end.
1 again reviewed the alternative course
of action which I had proposed, concluding
that the only one consonant with interna-
tional policy and compatible with our firm-
set historical tradifons was intervention as
a neutral to stop the war and check thf
hopeless sacrifice of life, even though that
resort involved "hostile constraint upon
both the parties to the contest, as well to
enforce a truce as to guide the eventual
settlement."
The grounds justifying that step were:
The Interests of humanity, the duty to pro-*
tect life and property of our citizens in
Cuba, the right to check injury to our com-
merce and people through the devastation
of the island, and, most important, the
need of removing at once and forever the
constant menace and the burdens entailed
upon our government by the uncertainties
and perils of the situation caused by the
unendurable disturbance in Cuba. I saidx
"The long trial has proved that the ob-
ject for which Spain has waged the war
cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection
may flame or may smolder with varying
seasons, but it has not been, and it is plain
that it cannot be. extinguished by present
methods. The only hope of relief and re-
pose from a condition which can no longei
be endured is the enforced pacification ol
Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the
name of civilization, in behalf of endan-
gered American interests, which give ue
the right and the duty to speak, the exist-
ing war in Cuba must stop.
In view of all this the congress was asked
to authorize and empower the president to
take measures to secure a full and final
termination of hostilities between Spain
and the people of Cuba and to secure in the
Island the establishment of a stable gor-
ernment, capable of maintaining order and
observing its international obligations, in-
suring peace and tranquillity and the se
curlty of Its citizens as well as our own,
and for the accomplishment of those ends
to use the military and naval forces of the
United States as might be necessary, with
added authority to continue generous relief
to the starving people of Cuba. ^
DECISIVE ACTION BY CONUKESS.
The response of the congress, after nine
days of earnest deliberation, during which
the almost unanimous sentiment of youi
body was developed on every point save as
to the expediency of coupling the proposed
action with a formal recognition of the re-
public of Cuba as the true and lawful gov-
ernment of that Island— a proposition which
failed of adoption— the congress, after con-
ference, on the 19th of April, by a vote of
42 to 35 in the senate and 311 to 6 in the
house of representatives, passed the memo-
rable joint resolution, declaring:
"1. That the people of the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and in
dependent.
"2. That it is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government ol
the United States does hereby demand, that
the government of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and government in the island
of Cuba and withdraw its land and navai
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president of the United
States be and he hereby is directed and em-
powered to use the entire land and navai
forces of the United States, and to call
Into the actual service of the United States
the militia of the several states to such ex-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
"4. That the United States hereby dis-
claims any disposition or Intention to ex
ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island, except for the pacification
thereof, and asserts its determination, when
that is accomplished, to leave the govern-
ment and control of the island to its peo-
ple."
This resolution was approved by the ex
ecutive on the next day, April 20. A copj
was at once communicated to the Spanish
minister at this capital, who forthwith an-
nounced that his continuance in Washington
had thereby become impossible, and asked
for his passports, which were given him.
He thereupon withdrew from Washington,
leaving the protection of Spanish interests
In the United States to the French am-
bassador and the Austro-Hungarlan min-
ister. , ^, ^
Simultaneously with its communication to
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
32»
tbe Spanish minister, Gen. Woodford, tbe
American minister at Madrid, was tel««
grapbed confirmation of the text of the
Joint resolution, and directed to communi-
cate it to the government of Spain, with
the formal demand that It at once relin-
quish its authority and government in the
Island of Cuba and withdraw its forces
therefrom, coupling this demand with an-
nouncements of the intentions of this goy«
ernment as to the future of the island, in
conformity with the fourth clause of the
resolution, and giving Spain until noon ol
April 23 to reply.
The demand, although, as above shown,
officially made known to the Spanish envoy
here, was not delivered at Madrid. Aftei
the instruction reached Gen. Woodford on
the morning of April 21, but before he
could present it, the Spanish minister ol
state notified him that upon the president's
approval of the Joint resolution tne Madrid
government, regarding the act as "equiv-
alent to an evident declaration of war,'-
had ordered its minister in Washington to
withdraw, thereby breaking off diplomatio
relations between the two countries and
ceasing all official communication between
their respective representatives. Gen.
Woodford thereupon demanded his passports
and quitted Madrid tbe same day.
FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR.
Spain having thus denied the demand of
the United ij^ates and initiated Ihat com-
plete form of rupture of relations which
attends § state of war, the executive pow-
ers authorized by tbe resolution were at
once used by me to meet th^ enlarged con-
tingency of actual war between Spain and
the United States.
On April 22 I proclaimed a blockade of the
northern coast of Cuba, includlEg ports ou
said coast between Cardenas and Bahia
Honda, and the port of Cienfuegos on tbe
south coast of Cuba, and on the 23d I called
for volunteers to execute the purpose of the
resolution.
By my message of April 25 the congress
was informed of th3 situation, and I recom-
mended formal declaration of the existence
of a state of war between the United States
and Spain. The congress accordingly vot d
on the same day the act approved April 2b,
1898, declaring the existence of such war.
from and Including the 21st day of April,
and re-enacted the provision of the resolu-
tion of April 20, directing the president to
use all the armed forces of the nation to
carry that act into effect.
Due notification of the existence of wai
as aforesaid was given April 25 by tele-
graph to all the governments with which
the United States maintain relations, in
order that their neutrality might be assured
during the war.
The various governments responded with
proclamations of neutrality, each after its
own methods. It is not among the least
gratifying incidents of tbe struggle that the
obligations of neutrality were Impartially
discharged by all, often under delicate and
difficult circumstances.
In further fulfillment of International
duty, I issued April 26 a proclamation an-
nouncing the treatment proposed to be
accorded to vessels and their cargoes as to
blockades, contraband, the exercise of the
right of subjects and the immunity of neu-
tral flags and neutral goods under the
enemy's flag. A similar proclamation was
made by the Spanish government. In the
conduct of hostilities the rules of the dec-
laration of Paris, including abstention from
resort to privateering, have accordingij
been observed by both Delllgerents, although
nf Ither was a party to that declaration.
RECRUITING OF ARMY AND NAVY.
Our country thus, after an Interval of halt
a century of peace with all nations, found
itself engaged in deadly conflict with a
foreign enemy. Every nerve was strainea
to meet the emergency.
The response to the initial call for 125,000
volunteers was instant and complete, as
was also the result of the second call ol
May 25 for 75,000 additional volunteers. Tbe
ranks of the regular army were increased to
the limits provided by the act of April 26.
The enlisted force of the navy on the 15th
of August, when it reached its maximum,
numbered 24,123 men and apprenttces. Out
hundred and three vessels were added to the
navy by purchase, on? was presented to the
government, one leased and the four vessels
of the International Navigation company,
the St. Paul, St. Louis, New York ana
Paris, were chartered. In addition to these
the revenue cutters and lighthouse tenders
were turned over to the navy department
and became temporarily a part of the auxil-
iary navy.
The maximum effective fighting force ol
the navy during the war, separated into
classes, was as follows:
Regular— Four battleships of the first
class, one battleship of tne second class,
two armored cruisers, six coast defense
monitors, one armored ram, twelve pro-
tected cruisers, three unprotected cruisers,
eigbteen gunboats, one dynamite cruiser,
eleven torpedo boats, fourteen old vessels
of the old navy. Including monitors.
Auxiliary— Sixteen auxiliary cruisers,
twenty-eight converted yachts, twenty
seven converted tugs, nineteen converteo
colliers, fifteen revenue cutters, four light
house tenders and nineteen miscellaneou»
vessels.
Much alarm was felt along our entire At-
lantic seaboard lest some attack might be
made by the enemy. Every precaution was
taken to prevent possible injury to oui
great cities lying along the coast. Tempo-
rary garrisons were provided, drawn from
the state militia. Infantry and light bat-
teries were drawn from the volunteer force.
About 12,000 troops were thus employed.
The coast signal service was established foi
observing the approach of an enemy's ships
to the coast of the United States, and the
life-saving and lighthouse pervlce<^ co-oper-
ated, which enabled the navy department to
have all portions of the Atlantic coast,
from Maine to Texas, under observation.
The auxiliary navy was created under the
authority of congress, and was officered and
manned bv the naval militia of the several
states. This organization patrolled the
coast and performed the duty of a second
arm of defense.
Under the direction of the chief of en-
gineers submarine mines were placed at the
most exposed points. Before the outbreak
of the war permanent mining casements
and cable galleries had been constructed at
all important harbors. Most of the torpedo
material was not to be found in the market
and had to be specially manufactured. Un-
der date of April 19 district officers were
directed to take all preliminary measures,

mines to the cables, and on April 22 tele-
graphic orders were issaed to place the
loaded mines in position.
The aggregate number of mines placed
was 1,635 at the principal harbors from
Maine to California. Preparations were also
made for the planting of mines at certain
other harbors, but owing to the early de.
struction of the Spanish fleet these mines
were not placed.
The signal corps was promptly organized
and performed service of most difllcnlt and
important character. Its operations during
the war covered tlie electrical connection of
all coast fortifications and the establish*
ment of telephonic and telegraphic facili-
ties for the camps at Manila, Santiago ana
In Puerto Rico.
There were constructed 300 miles of line
at ten great camps, thus facilitating mili-
tary movements from those points in a
manner heretofore unknown in military ad-
ministration. Field telegraph lines were
established and maintained under the
enemy's fire at Manila, and later the Ma-
nila-Hongkong cable was reopened. It.
Puerto Rico cable communications were
opened over a discontinued route, and on
land the headquarters of the commanding
officer were kept in telegraphic or telephonic
communication with the division command-
ers of four different lines of operation.
There was placed In Cnban waters a com-
pletely outfitted cable ship, with war cables
and cable gear suitable both for the destruc-
tion of communications belonging to the
enemy and the establishment of our own.
Two ocean cables were destroyed under the
enemy's batteries at Santiago. The day
previous to the landing of Gen. Shafter'p
corps at Caimanera, within twenty miles of
the landing place, cable communications
were established and cable stations openea,
giving direct communication with the gov*
ernment at Washington. This service was
invaluable to the executive in directing the
operations of the army and navy.
With a total force of over 1,300 the loss
was by disease and field, ofllcers and men
included, only five.
THE BOND ISSUE.
The national defense under the |50.000,OOC
fund was expended in large part by the
army and navy, and the objects for which It
was used are fully shown in the reports of
the several secretaries. It was a most
timely appropriation, enabling the govern-
ment to strengthen its defense and make
preparations greatly needed In case of war.
This fund being Inadequate to the require*
ments of equipment and for the conduct ol
the war, the patriotism of the congress pro-
vided the means In the war-revenue act of
June 13 by authorizing a 3 per cent popular
loan, not to exceed $400,000,000. and by levy.
Ing additional Imposts and taxes. Of the
authorized loan, $200,000,000 was offered and
promptly taken, the subscriptions so far ex-
ceeding the call as to cover it many times
over, while, preference being given to the
smaller bids, no single allotment exceeded
$5,000.
This was a most encouraging and signifi-
cant result, showing the vast resources of
the nation and the determination of the
people to uphold their country's honor.
DEWEY'S VICTORY AT MANILA.
It is not within the province of this mes-
sage to narrate the history of the extraor.
dlnary war that followed the Spanish d^-
laratlon of April 21, but a brief recital of
its more salient features is appropriate..
The first encounter of the war in point el
date took place April 27, when a detach-
ment of the blockading squadron made a
reconnaissance in force at Matansas, shelled
the harbor forts and demolished several nev
works in construction.
The next engagement was destined to
mark a memorable epoch in maritime war-
fare. The Pacific fleet, under Commodore
Dewey, had lain for some weeks at Hong-
kong. Upon the colonial proclamation of
neutrality being issued and the customary
twenty-four hours' notice being given, it
repaired to MIrs bay, near Hongkong,
whence it proceeded tcf the Philippine Uh
lands under telegraphed orders to capture
or destroy the formidable Spanish fleet then
assembled at Manila.
At daybreak on the 1st of May the Amer*
lean force entered Manila bay, and after a
few hours* engagement eCTected the total
destruction of the Spanish fleet, consisting
of ten warships and a transport, besides
capturing the naval station and forts at
Cavite, thus annihilating the Spanish naval
power in the Pacific ocean and completely
controlling the bay of Manila, with the
ability to take the city at will. Not a life
was lost on our ships, the wounded num..
bering only seven, while not a vessel was
materially injured.
For this gallant achievemenUtbe congress,
upon my recommendation, fitly bestowed
upon the actors preferment and si^bstantlal
reward.
The effect of this remarkable victory upon
the spirit of our people and upon the for-
tunes of the war was instant. A prestige
of invincibility thereby attached to our
arms which continued throughout the strug-
gle. Re-enforcements were hurried to Ma-
nila under the cdmmand of MaJ.-Gea. Mer-
ritt and firmly established within sight of
the capital, which lay helpless before our
guns.
On the 7th day of May the government
was advised officially of the victory at
Manila, and at once inquired of the com-
mander of our fleet what troops would be
required. The information was received on
the 15th dav of May, and the first army ex-
pedltion sailed May 25 and arrived off Ma-
nila June 30. Other expeditions soon fol-
lowed, the total force consisting of 641 offi-
cers and 15,058 men.
Only reluctance to cause needless loss of
life and property prevented the eArly stormo
ing and capture of the city, and therewith
the absolute military occupancy of the
whole group. The insurgents meanwhile
had resumed the active hostilities suspended
by the uncompleted truce of December, 1897.
Their forces invested Manila from the
northern and eastern sides, but were con-
strained by Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
rltt from attempting an assault.
It was fitting that whatever was to be
done in the way of decisive operations in
that quarter should be accomplished by the
strong arm of the United States alone.
Obeying the stern precept of war, which
enjoins the overcoming of the adversary and
the extinction of his power wherever assail-
able as the speedy and sure means to win
a peace, divided victoi^ was not permissi-
ble, for no partition of the rights and re.
sponslbilltles attending the enforcement ot
a Just and advantageous peace coold be
thought of.

CAMPAIGN IN CUBA REVIEWED.
Following the comprehensiye scheme of
general attack, powerful forces were as
sembled at yarious points on our coast to
invade Cuba and Puerto Rico. Meanwhile*
nayal demonstrations were made at seyeral
exposed points. On May 11 the cruiser Wll-
mington and torpedo boat Wlnslow were un-
successful in an attempt to silence the bat-
teries at Cardenas and Matanzas, Worth
Bagley and four seamen falling.
These grievous fatalities were, strangel^^
enough, among the very few which occurred
during our naval operations in this extraor-
dinary conflict.
Meanwhile the Spanish naval preparations
had been pushed with great vigor. A pow-
erful squadron under Admiral Oervera,
which had assembled at the Cape Verde
islands before the outbreak of hostilities,
had crossed the ocean, and by its erratic
movements in the Caribbean sea delayed our
military operations while baffling the pur-
suit of our fleets. For a time fears were
felt lest the Oregon and Marietta, then
nearing home after their long voyage ^om
San Francisco of over 15,000 miles, might be
surprised by Admiral Cervera's fleet, but
their fortunate arrival dispelled these ap«
prehensions and lent much-needed re-en
forcement.
HEROISM OF HOBSON.
Not until Admiral Cervera took refuge In
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba about May
9 was it practicable to plan a systematic
military attack upon the AntlUean posses*
sions of Spain. Several demonstrations oc-
curred on the coasts of Cuba and Puerto
Rico in preparation for the larger event.
On May 13 the North Atlantic squadron
shelled San Juan de Puerto Rico. On May 30
Commodore Schley's squadron bombarded
the forts guarding the mouth of Santiago
harbor. Neither attack had any material
result. It was evident that well-ordered
land operations were Indispensable to
achieve a decisive advantage.
The next act in the war thrilled not alone
the hearts of our countrymen but the world
by its exceptional heroism.
On the night of June 3 Lieut. Hobson.
aided by seven devoted volunteers, blocked
the narrow outlet from Santiago harbor bj
sinking the collier Merrimac in the channel,
under a fierce Are from the shore batteries,
escaping with their lives as by a miracle,
but falling into the hands of the Spaniards.
It is a most gratifying incident of the war
that the- bravery of this little band of
heroes was cordially appreciated by the
Spaniards, who sent a flag of truce to notify
Admiral Sampson of their safety and to
compliment them upon their daring aci.
They were subsequently exchanged July 7.
ADVANCE ON SANTIAGO.
By June 7 the cutting of the last Cuban
cable isolated the island. Thereafter the
Invasion was vigorously prosecuted. On
June 10, under a heavy protecting fire, a
landing of 600 marines from the Oregon*
Marblehead and Yankee was effected in
Guantanamo bay, where it had been deter-
mined to establish a naval station. This
Important and essential port was taken
from the enemy after severe fighting by the
marines, who were the first organized force
of the United States to land in Cuba. The
position so won was held despite desperate
attempts to dislodge our forces.
By June 16 additional forces were landed
and strongly intrenched. On June 22 the
advance of the invading army under MaJ.-
Gen. Shafter landed at Baiquirl, about tit,
teen miles east x>f Santiago. This was ac
complished under great difficulties, but with
marvelous dispatch. On June 23 the move-
ment against Santiago was begun.
On the 24th the first serious engagement
took place, in which the 1st and 10th <;aT^
airy and the 1st United States volunteei
cavalry. Gen. )i:oung's brigade of Gen.
Wheeler's division, participated, losing
heavily. By nightfall, however, ground
within five miles of Santiagp was won.
The advantage was steadily increased.
On July 1 a severe battle took place, oui
forces gaining the outworks of Santiago.
On the 2d El Caney and San Juan were
taken after a desperate charge, and the
investment of the city wag completed. The
navy co-operated by shelling the town and
the coast forts.
DESTRUCTION OF CERVERA'S FLEET.
On the day following this brilliant
achievement of our land forces, July 3, oc-
curred the decisive naval combat of the
war. The Spanish fleet, attempting to leave
the harbor, was met by the American
squadron under command of Commodore
Sampson. In less than three hours all the
Spanish ships were destroyed, the two tor-
pedo boats being sunk, and the Maria
Teresa, Almirante Oquendo, ViBcaya and
Cristobal Colon driven ashore. The Spanish
admiral and over 1,300 men were taken pris-
oners, while the enemy's loss of life was
deplorably large, some 600 perishing.
On our side but one man was killed, on
the Brooklyn, and one man seriously
wounded. Although our ships were repeat-
edly struck, not one was seriously injured.
Where all so conspicuously distinguished
themselves, from the commanders to the
gunners, and the unnamed heroes in the boil-
er rooms, each and all contributing toward
the achievement of this astounding victory,
for which neither ancient nor modern his-
tory affords a parallel in the completeness
of the event and the marvelous dispropor-
tion of casualties, it would be invidious to
single out any for especial honor.
Deserved promotion has rewarded the
more conspicuous actors— the nation's pro-
foundest gratitude is due to all of those
brave men who by their skill and devotion
in a few short hours crushed the sea power
of Spain and wrought a triumph whose de-
cisiveness and far-reaching consequences
can scarcely be measured. Nor can we be
unmindful of the achievements of our
builders, mechanics and artisans for their
skill In the construction of our warships.
With the catastrophe of Santiago Spain's
efforts upon the ocean virtually ceased. A
spasmodic effort toward the end of June to
send her Mediterranean fleet under Admiral
Camara to relieve Manila was abandonea,
the expeditioa being recalled after it had
passed through the Suez canal.
The capitulation of Santiago "foUowea.
The city was closely besieged by land,
while the entrance of our ships into the
harbor cut off all relief on that side. After
a truce to allow of the removal of non-com.
batants protracted negotiations continued
from July 3 until July 15, when, undei
menace of immediate assault, the prelim-
inaries of surrender were agreed upon. On
the 17th Gen. Shafter occupied the city.
The capitulation embraced the entire east-
ern end of Cuba. The number of Spanish
326
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899.
soldiers surrendered was 22,000, all of wbom
were subsequently conyeyed to Spain at tHe
charge of the United States.
The story of this successful campaigrn is
told in the report of the secretary of war,
which will be laid before you. The indi-
vidual valor of officers and soldiers was
never more strikingly shown than in the
several engagements leading to the sur-
render of Santiago, while the prompt move-
ments and successive victories won instant
and universal applause.
To those who gained this complete tri-
umph, which established the ascendency of
the United States upon land as the fight off
Santiago had fixed our supremacy on the
seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude of
the nation is unsparingly due.
Nor should we aloue remember the gal-
lantry of the living; the dead claim oui
tears, and our losse) by battle and disease
must cloud any exultation at the result
and teach us to weigh the awful cost oi
war, however rightful the cause or signal
the victory.
OCCUPATION OF PUEBTO RICO.
With the fall of Santiago, the occupation
of Puerto Rico became tne next strategic
necessity. Gen. Miles had previously been
is'^lgned to organize the expedition for that
ourpose. Fortunately he was already at
•Santiago, where he had arrived on the Uth
>f July with re-enf(M*cements for Gen. Sbat.
cer's army.
With these troops, consisting of 3,415 in-
fantry and artillery, two companies of en-
i^ineers and one company of the signal
>orps, Gen. Miles left Guantanamo on Jul)
21, having nine transports convoyed by the
Heet under Capt. Higginson, with the Mas-
sachusetts (fiagship), Dixie, Gloucester, Co-
lumbia and Yale, the two latter carrying
troops. The expedition landed at Guanica
July 25, which port was entered with little
opposition. Here the fleet was Joined by
the Annapolis and the Wasp, while the
Puritan and Amphitrite went to San Juan
and joined the New Orleans, which was en-
gaged in blockading that port.
The major-general commanding was sub-
sequently re-enforced by Gen. Schwan's
brigade of the 3d army corps, by Gen. Wil-
son with a part of his division, and also
by Gen. Brooke with a part of his corps,
numbering in all 16,973 officers and men. On
July 27 he entered Ponce, one of the most
Important ports in the island, from which
he thereafter directed operations for the
capture of the island.
With the exception of encounters with the
enemy at Guayama, Hormigueres, Coamo
and Yauco, and an attack on a force landed
at Gape San Juan, there was no serious re-
sistance. The campaign was prosecuted
with great vigor, and by the 12th of August
much of the island was in our possession,
and the acquisition of the remainder was
)nly a matter of a short time.
At most of the points in the Island our
troops 'were enthusiastically welcomed.
Protestations of loyalty to the flag and
gratitude for delivery from Spanish rule
met our commanders at every stage.
As a potent influence toward peace the
outcome of the Puerto Rican expedition was
of great consequence, and generous com-
mendation is due to those who participated
in it.
LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR.
The last scene of the war was enacted at
Manila, its starting place. On Aug. 15,
after a brief assault upon the works by the
land forces, in which tne squadron assisted,
the capital surrendered unconditionally.
The casualties were comparatively few.
By this the conquest of the Philippine
Islands, virtually accomplished when the
Spanish eapacitv for resistance was de-
stroyed by Admiral Dewey's victory of the
1st of May, was foimally sealed.
To Gen. Merrltt, his officers and men, for
their uncomplaining and devoted services,
for their gallantry in action, the nation is
sincerely grateful. Their long voyage wa^
made with singular success, and the soldier-
ly conduct of the men, most of whom were
without previous experience in the military
service, deserves unmeasured praise.
LOSSES OF ARMY AND NAVY.
The total casualties in killed and woundea
during the war were as follows:
iiBMT.
Officers kiUed 23
Enlisted men killed 25*1
Total 280
Officers wounded 113
Enlisted men wounded 1,464
Total 1,677
NAVY.
Killed 17
Wounded ti
Died as i-esult of wounds 1
Invalided from seivlce €
Total 91
It will be observed that while our navy
was engaged in two great battles and in
numerous perilous undertakings in the
blockades and bombardment, and more than
BO.OOO of our troops were transi)orted to dis-
tant lands and engaged in assault and siege
and battle and many skirmishes in unfa-
miliar territory, we lost in both arms ol
the service a total of 1,948 killed and
wounded; and in the entire campaign by
land and sea we did not lose a gun or a
flag or a transport or a ship, and with the
exception of the crew of tl)e Merrimac not
a soldier or sailor was taken prisoner.
On Aug. 7, forty-six davs from the date of
the landing of Gen. Shafter's army in Cuba
and twenty-one davs from the surrender oi
Santiago, the United States troops com-
menced embarkation for home, and our en-
tire force was returned to the United States
as early as Aug. 24. They were absent from
the United States only two months.
It is fitting that I should bear testimony
to the patriotism and devotion of that large
portion of our army which, although eagei
to be ordered to the post of greatest ex-
posure, fortunately was not required out-
side of the United States. They did theix
whole duty, and, like their comrades at the
front, have earned the gratitude of the
nation.
In like manner, the officers and men of
the army and of the navy who remained in
their departments and stations of the navy,
performing most important duties connected
with the war, and whose requests for a»
signment in the field and at sea I was com-
pelled to refuse because their services were
indispensable here, are entitled to the high-
est commendation. It is my regret that
there seems to be no provision for theii
suitable recognition.
WORK OF THE RED CROSS.
In this connection it is a pleasure for me
to mention in terms of cordial appreciatlOD

SIGNING OF THE PROTOCOIi.
The annihilation of Admiral Cervera'e
fleet, followed by the capitulation of San>
tiago, having brought to the Spanish go>.
ernment a realizing sense of the hopelesv-
ness of continuing a struggle now becoming
wholly unequal, it made overtures of peace
through the French ambassador, who, with
the assent of his government, had acted as
the friendly representative of Spanish in-
terests during the war.
On the 26th of July M. Cambon presented
a communication signed by the duke ol
Almodovar. the Danish minister of state,
inviting tne United States to state the
terms upon which it would be willing .to
make peace.
On July 30, by a communication addressed
to the duke of Almodovar and handed to M.
Cambon, the terms of this government were
announced, substantially as in the protocol
afterward signed.
On Aug. 10 the Spanish reply, dated Aug.
7, was handed by M. Cambon to the secre-
tary of state. It accepted unconditionally
the terms Imposed as to Cuba, Puerto Rico
and an island of the Ladrones group, but
appeared to seek to introduce inadmissible
reservations in regard to our demand as to
the Philippines.
Conceiving that discussion on this point
could neither be practicable nor profitable, I
directed that in order to avoid misunder-
standing the matter should be forthwith
closed by proposing the embodiment in a
formal protocol of the terms on which the
negotiations for peace were to be under-
taken.
The vague and Inexplicit suggestions of
the Spanish note could not be accepted, the
only reply being to present as a virtual
ultimatum a draft of a protocol embodying
the precise terms tendered to Spain in out
note of July 30, with added stipulations of
detail as to the appointment of commlB>
sioners to arrange for the evacuation of thf
Spanish Antilles.
On Aug. 12 BI. Cambon announced his
receipt of full power to sign the protocol
BO submitted. Accordingly, on the after-
noon of Aug. 12, M. Cambon, as the pleni-
potentiary of Spain, and the secretary oi.
state, as the plenipotentiary of the United
States, signed a protocol providing:
"Article 1. Spain will relinquish all claim<
of sovereignty over and title to Cuba.
"Art. 2. Spain will cede to the United
States the island of Puerto Rico and otbci
Islands now under Spanish sovereignty in
the West Indies, and also an island in tho
Ladrones, to be selected by the United
States.
"Art. 3. The United States will occupy
and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila
pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace
which shall determine the control, disposl-
tion and government of the Philippines."
The fourth article provided for the ap-
pointment of joint commissions on the part
of the United States and Spain, to meet in
Havana and San Juan, respectively, for the
Surpose of arranging and carrying out the
etalls of the stipulated evacuation of
Cuba, Puerto Hlco and other Spanish islands
in the West Indies.
The fifth article provided for the appoint-
ment of not more than five commissioners
on each side, to meet at Paris not latei
than Oct. 1 and to proceed to the negotia-
tion and conclusion of a treaty of peace,
subject to ratification according to the re-
spective constitutional forms of the two
countries.
The sixth and last* article provided thai
upon the signature of the protocol hos-
tilities between the two countries should be
suspended, and that notice to that effect
should be given as soon as possible by each
government to the commanders of its mili-
tary and naval forces.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the
protocol I Issued a proclamation on Aug.
12 suspending hostilities on the part of the
United States. The necessary orders to
that end were at once given by telegraph.
The blockade of the ports of Cuba and San
Juan de Puerto Rico was in like manner
raised
On Aug. 18 the muster-out of 100,000 vol-
unteers, or as near that number as was
found to be practicable, was ordered. On
Dec. 1 101.165 otficers and men had been
mustered out and discharged from the serv-
ice; 9,002 more will be mustered out by the
lOth of the month. Also a corresponding
number of generals and general staff officers
have been honorably discharged from th»
The military committees to superintend
the evacuation of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
adjacent islands were forthwith appointed^
for Cuba, Maj.-Gen. James F. Wade, Rear-
Admiral William T. Sampson, MaJ.-Gei»»
Matthew C. Butler; for Puerto Rico, Maj.-
Gen. John O. Brooke, Rear-Admiral Wlnfieid
S. Schley, Brig. -Gen. W. Gordon— who soon
afterward met the Spanish commisslonerg
at Havana and San Juan respectively.
The Puerto Rican Joint commission speed-
ily accomplished its task, and by Oct. 18 the
evacuation of the Island was completed.
The United States flag was raised over the
Island at noon on that day. The admlnlts-
tration of its affairs has been p-ovlsionally
intrusted to a military governor until the
congress shall otherwise provide.
The Cuban Joint high commission has not
yet terminated its labors. Owing to the dlf-
flcultles In the way of removing the largf
numbers of Spanish troops still in Cuba, the
evacuation cannot be completed before the
l8t of January next.
328
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1«90.
Paraaant to the fifth article of the pro,
toool, I appointed William R. Day, lately
secretary of state; Cashman K. Davis, Wil-
liam P. Frye and George Gray, senators ol
the United States, and Whitelaw Reid to Ve
peace commissioners on the part of the
United States.
Proceeding in due season to Paris, they
there met on the ist ot October five com>
missloners similarly appointed on the part
of Spain. The negotiations have made hope,
ful progress, so that I trust soon to be able
to lay a definitive treaty of peace before
the senate, with a review of the steps lead-
ing to its signature.
MILITARY RULE RECOMMENDED.
I do not discuss at this time the govern,
ment or the future of the new possessions
which will come to us as the result of the
war with Spain. Such discussion will be
appropriate after the treaty of peace shall
be ratified. In the meantime and until the
congress has legislated otherwise it will be
my duty to continue the military govern*
ments which have existed since our occupa-
tion and give the people security in life and
property and encouragement, under a just
and beneficent rule.
As soon as we were in possession of Cuba
and have pacified the Island it will be
necessary to give aid and direction to its
people to form a government for themselves.
This should be undertaken at the earliest
moment consistent with safety and assured
success.
It is Important that our relations with
these people shall be of the most friendly
character and our commercial relations
close and reciprocal. It should be our duty
to assist in every proper way to build up
the waste places of the island, encourage
the Industry of the people and assist them
to form a government which shall be free
and independent, thus realizing the best
aspirations of the Cuban people.
Spanish rule must be replaced by a just,
benevolent and humane government, created
by the people of Cuba, capable of perform,
ing all international obligations, and which
shall encourage thrift, industry and pros-
perity and promote peace and good-will
among all of the inhabitants, whatever may
have been their relations in the past.
Neither revenge nor passion should have a
place in the new government.
Until there is complete tranquillity in the
island and a stable government inaugurated
military occupation will be continued.
RELATIONS WITH OTHER NATIONS.
With the exception of the rupture with
Spain, the intercourse of the United States
with the great familv of nations has been
marked with cordiality, and the dose of
the eventful year finds most of the issues
that necessarily arise in the complex rela-
tions of sovereign states adjusted or pre-
senting no serious obstacle to a just and
honorable solution by amicable agreement.
A long-unsettled dispute as to the ex-
tended boundary between the Argentine Re-
public and Chile, stretching along the An
dean crests from the southern border of the
Atacama desert to Magellan straits, nearly
a third of the length of the South American
continent, assumed an acute stage in the
early part of the year, and afforded to this
government an occasion to express the hope
that the reeort to arbitration, already con-
templated by existing conventions between
the parties, might prevail despite the grave
ditBculties arising in its application. I am
happy to say that arrangements to this end
have been perfected, the questions of fact
upon which the respective commissioDere
were unable to agree being in course <rt
reference to her Britannic majesty for de-
termination.
A residual difference touching the north-
ern boundary line across the Atacama
desert, for which existing treaties provided
no adequate adjustment, hids fair to be set-
tled in like manner by a joint commission,
upon which the United States minister at
Buenos Ayres has been invited to serve as
umpire la the last resort.
I have found occasion to approach the
Argentine government with a view of re-
moving differences of rate charges imposed
upon the cables of an American corporation
in the transmission between Buenos Ayres
and the cities of Uruguay and Brasll ol
through messages passing from and to the
United States. Although the matter is
complicated by exclusive concessions by
Uruguay and Brasll to foreign companies,
there is strong hope that a good understand-
ing will be reached and that the Important
channels of commercial communication b«»>
tween the United States and the Atlantic
cities of South America may be freed from
an almost prohibitory discrimination.
In this relation I may be permitted to ez^
press my sense of the fitness of an inter,
national agreement whereby the interchange
of messages over connecting cables may be
regulated on a fair basis of uniformity.
The world has seen the postal system de-
veloped from an independent and exclusive
service into a well-ordered union, of which
all countries found the manifold benefits.
It would be strange were the nations not in
time brought to realize that modem civili-
zation, which owes so much of its progress
to the annihilation of space by the electric
force, demands that this all-important
means of communication be a heritage ol
all peoples, to be administered and r^:a-
lated in their common behoof.
A step in this direction was taken when
the International convention of 1884 for the
protection of submarine cables was signeo,
and the day is, I trust, not far distant
when this medium for the transmission ol
thought from land to land may be brought
within the domain of international concert
as completely as is the material carriage of
commerce and correspondence upon the face
of the waters that divide them.
The claim of Thomas Jefferson Page
against Argentina, which has been pend-
ing many years, has been adjusted. The
sum awarded by the congress of Argentina
was 94,242.SB.
The sympathy of the American people has
justly been offered to the ml^ and the peo-
ple of Austria-Hungary by reason of the
affliction that hais lately befallen them In

On Sept. 10. 1897, a conflict took place at

miners were killed and forty-four wounded.
Ten of the killed and twelve of the wounded
were Austrian and Hungarian subjects.

searchlDK inveBtlgation and the peremptory
action of the authorities of Pennsylyanlti,
the federal executive took appropriate steps
to learn the merits of the case, In order to
be In a position to meet the urgent com<>
plaint of a friendly power.
The sheriff and his deputies, haying been
Indicted for murder, were tried and ac-
quitted, after protracted proceedings and
the hearing of hundreds of witnesses, on
the arround that the killing was in the Unh
of their official duty to uphold law and
preserye public order in the state. A rep-
resentative of the department of justice at-
tended the trial and reported its course
fully.
With all the facts in its i)osilesslon, this
government expects to reach a harmonious
understanding on the subject with that of
Austria-Hungary, notwithstanding the re<
newed claim of the latter, after learning
the result of the trial, for indemnity for Its
injured subjects.
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITIONS.
Despite the brief time allotted for prep,
aration, the exhibits of this country at the
unlyersal exposition at Brussels In 1897 en-
Joyed the singular distinction of a largei
proportion of awards, haying regard to the
p number and classes of articles entered, than
those of other countries. The worth of such
a result in making known our national ca«
padty to supply the world's markets is
obvious.
Exhibitions of this international character-
are becoming more frequent as the ex>
changes of commercial countries grow more
intimate and varied. Hardly a year passes
that this government is not invited to na-
tional participation at some important for-
eign center, but often on too short notice to
permit of recourse to congress for the powei
and means to do so. My predecessors have
suggested the advisability of providing by
a general enactment and a standing appix».
prlatlon for accepting such invitations and
for representation of this country by a com.
mission. This plan has my cordial ap<
proval.
I RESTRICTIONS OP TRADE.
I I trust the Belgian restriction on the lm«
portations of cattle from the United States,
originally adopted as a sanitary precaution,
will at an early date be modified so as to
admit live cattle under due regulation of
their slaughter after landing, i am hopex
fnl, too, of a favorable change In the Bel-
gian treatment of our preserved and salted
meats. The growth of direct trade between
the two countries, not alone for Belgian
consumption and Belgian products, but by
way of transit from and to other conti-
nental states, has been both encouraging
and heneflcial. No effort will be spared to
enlarge its advantages by seeking the re-
moval of needless impediments and by ar,,
rangements for increased commercial ex-
changes.
The year's events in Central America de-
serve more than passing mention. A men-
acing rupture between Costa Rica and Mlc.
aragoa was happily composed by the signa-
ture of a convention between the parties,
with the concurrence of the Guatemalan
representative as a mediator, the act being
netrotiated and signed on board the United
States steamer Alert, then lying in Central
American waters. It is believed that the
good offices of our envoy and commander of
that vessel contributed toward this gratify-
ing outcome.
CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
In my last annual message the situation
was presented with respect to the diplo-
matic representation of this government in
Central America created by the association
of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, un-
der the title of the Greater Republic ol
Central America, and the delegation of their
intemational functions to the diet thereof.
WhUe the representative character of the
diet was recognized by my predecessor and
has been confirmed during my administra-
tion by receiving its accredited envoy and
granting exequaturs to consuls commis-
sioned under its authority that recognition
was qualified by the distinct understanding
that the responsibility of eacn of the com-
ponent sovereign republics toward the
United States remained wholly unaffected.
This proviso was needful Inasmuch as the
compact of the three republics was at the
outset an association whereby certain rep-
resentative functions were delegated to a
tripartite commission rather than a federa-
tion possessing centralized powers of gov-
ernment and administration. In this vienv
of their relation and the relation of the
United States to several republics, a change
in the representation of this country iu
Central America was neither recommended
by the executive nor initiated by congress,
thus leaving one of our envoys accredited as
heretofore separately to two states of the
greater republic, Nicaragua and Salvador,
and to a third state, Costa Rica, which
was not a party to the compact, while oui
other envoy was similarly accredited to
the union state of Honduras and the now
union state of Guatemala. The result has
been that the one has presented credentials
only to the president of Costa Rica, the
other having been received only by the gov-
ernment of Guateniala.
Subsequently the three associated repub-
lics entered into negotiations for taking the
steps forecast in the original compact. A
convention of their delegates framed foi
them a federal constitution under the name
of the United States of Central America
and provided for a central federal govern-
ment and legislature. Upon ratlfleaiion b>
the constituent states the Ist of Novembei
last was fixed for the new system to go into
operation. Within a few weeks thereaftei
the plan was severely tested by revolution-
ary movements arising, with a consequent
demand for unity of action on the part ol
the military power of the federal states to
suppress them. Under this strain the new
union seems to have been weakened through
the withdrawal of its more important mem-
bers.
This government was not officially advised
of the installation of the federation and has
maintained an attitude of friendly expect-
ancy, while in nowise relinqulsning the
position held from the outset that the re-
sponsibilities of the several states toward
us remained unaltered by their tentative
relations among themselves.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Nicaragua canal commission, under
the chairmanship of Rear- Admiral John G.
Walker, appointed July 24, 1897, under the
authority of a provision in the sundry civil
act of June 4 of that year, has nearly com-
Eleted its labors, and the results of its ex-
austlve inquiry into the proper route, the
feasibility and the cost of construction of

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
an interoceanlc canal by a Nicaraguan
route will be laid before yoa. In the per-
formance of Its task the commission re-
ceived all possible courtesy and assistance
from the governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, which thus testified tneir ap-
preciation of the importance of giving a
speedy and practical outcome to the great
project that has for so many years en-
grossed the attention of the -respective
countries.
As the scope of recent Inquiry embraced
the whole subject, with .tbe aim of mak ng
plans and surveys for a canal by the most
convenient route, it necessarily included a
review of the results of previous surveys
and plans, and in particular those adopted
by the Maritime Canal company under Its
existing concessions from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, so that to this extent those
f rants necessarily held an essential part in
be deliberations and conclusions of the
canal commission, as they have held and
must needs hold in the discussion of the
matter by congress.
Under these circumstances, and In view
of overtures made to the governments of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica by other par-
ties for a new canal concession, predi-
cated on the assumed approaching lapse
of the contracts of the Maritime Canal
company with those states, I have not hesl-
cated to express my conviction that con-
siderations of expediency and international
policy as between the several governments
Interested in the construction and control
of an interooeanlc canal by this route re-
quire the maintenance of the status quo
until the canal commission shall have re-
Eorted and the United States congress shall
ave had the -opportunity to pass finally
upon the whole matter during the present
session, without prejudice by reason of any
change in the existing conditions.
Nevertheless, it appears that the goyem-
ment of Nicaragua, as one of its last sov-
ereign acts before merging its powers In
those of the newly formed United Statfs (t
Central America, has granted an optional
concession to another association, to bp-
come effective on the expiration of the
present grant. It does not appear what
surveys nave been made or what route is
proposed under this contingent grant, so
that an examination of tbe feasibility of Iti
plans is necessarily not embraced In the
report of the canal commission.
All these circumstances suggest the ur-
gency of some definite action by the con-
gress at this session if the labors of the
past are to be utilized and the linking of
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a prac-
tical waterway Is to be realized. That the
construction of such a maritime highway is
now more than ever indispensable to that
intimate and ready intercommunication be-
tween our eastern and western seaboards
demanded by the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands and the prospective expan-
sion of our influence and commerce in the
Pacific, and that our national policy now
more imperatively than ever calls for its
control by this government, are propositions
which I doubt not the congress will duly
appreciate and wisely act upon.
A convention providing for the revival
of the late United States and Chilean
claims commission, and the consideration of
claims which were duly presented to the
late commission, but not considered be-
cause of tbe expiration of the time limited
for. the duration of the commission, was
signed May 24, 1897, and has remained un-
acted upon by the senate. . The term therein
flxed for effecting the change or ratifica-
tions having elapied, the convention falls,
unless the time be extended by amendment,
which I am endeavoring to bring about,
with the friendly concurrence of tbe
Chilean government,
AMERICA'S INTERESTS IN CHINA.
The United States has not been an in-
different spectator of tbe extraordinary
events transpiring in the Chinese empire,
whereby portions of its maritime provinces
are passing under control of various Ifinro-
pean powers, but the prospect that tbe vast
commerce which the energy of our citizens
and the neceltsity of our staple productions
for Chinese uses has built up in tbose re-
gions may not be prejudioea througb any
exclusive treatment by the new occupants
has obviated the need of our country be-
coming an actor in the scene.
Our position among nations having a large
Pacific coast and a constantly expanding
direct trade with the farther orient gives
us an equitable claim to consideration ana
friendly treatment in this regard, and it
will be my aim to subserve our large In-
terests in that quarter by all means ap-^
proprlate to the constant policy or our gov-
ernment.
The territories of Kiao-Chou, of Wei-
Hai-Wei and of Port Arthur and Talien
Wan. leased to Germany, Great - Britain
and Russia respectively for terms of years,
will, it is announced, be open to Interna-
tional commerce during such alien occupa-
tion, and if no discriminating treatment of
American clt:zens and their trade be found
to exist or be hereafter developed, the de-
sire of this government would appear to be
In this relation, as showing the volume
and value of our exchanges with China and
the peculiarly favorable conditions which
exist for their expansion in the normal
course of trade, I refer to the communica-
tion addressed to the speaker of the house
of representatives by the secretary of the
treasury on the 14th of last June, with the
accompanying letter of the secretary of
state, recommending an appropriation for a
commission to study the commercial and in-
dustrial conditions in the Chinese empire
and report as to the opportunities for and
obstacles to the enlargement of markets in
China for the raw products and manufac-
tures of the United States. Action was
not taken thereon during the late session.
I cordially urge that the recommendation
receive at your hands the consideration
which its importance and timeliness merit.
Meanwhile there may be Ju^t ground for
disquietude in view of the unrest and re-
vival of the old sentiment of opposition and
prejudice to alien people which pervades
certain of the Chinese provinces.
As in the case of the attacks npon onr
citizens in Szechuan and at Kutfen in
1885, the United States minister has been
instructed to secure tbe fullest measure of
protection, both local and imperial, for any
menaced American interests, and to de-
mand, in case of~ lawless injury to person
or property, instant reparation appropriate
to the case.
Warships have been stationed at Tien-

DISPUTE OF ITALY AND COLOMBIA.
Following close upon the rendition of the
a^vard of w predeeessor as arbitrator of
tbe claim of the Italian subject, Oerruti,
asainst the republic of Ck>lombia, differ-
ences arose between the parties to the arbi-
tration in regard to the scope and extension
of the award, of which certain articles were
contested by Colombia, while Italy claimed
tbeir literal fulfillment. The award baying
been made by the president of the United
States aa an act of friendly .consideration
and with the sole yiew to an impartial com-
position of the matter in dispute, I could
not but feel concern at such a miscarriage,
and, while unable to accept the Colombian
theory that 1, in my official capacity, pos-
sessed continuing function as arbitrator,
^-ith power to interpret or revise the terms
of the award, my best efforts were lent to
bringing the parties to a harmonious agree-
ment as to toe execution of its proyislons.
A nayal demonstration by Italy resulted
in an engagement to pay the liabilities
claimed upon their ascertainment; but this
apparent disposition of the controversy was
followed by a rupture of diploniatic inter-
course between Colombia and Italy, which
still continues, although fortunately with-
out acute symptoms having supervened.
Notwithstanding this, efforts are reported to
be continuing for the ascertainment of Co-
lombia's contingent liability on account of
Cerruti's debts, under the fifth article of
the award.
The claim of an American citizen against
the Dominican republic for a public bridge
over the Osama river, which has been In
diplomatic controversy for several years,
has been settled by expert arbitration and
an award in favor of the claimant amount-
ing to about $90,000. It, however, remains
unpaid, despite urgent demands for its set-
tlement according to the terms of the com-
pact.
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
There Is now every prospect that the par-
ticipation of the United States in the uni-
versal exposition to l>e held in Paris In 190O
will be on a scale commensurate ifith thf>
advanced position held by our products and
industries in the world's chief marts.
The preliminary report of Moses P.
Hahdy, who under the act approved July
19, 1897, was appointed special eommis-
Isloner, with a view to securing all at-
tainable information necessary to a full
and complete understanding by congress In
regard to the participation of this govern-
ment in the Paris exposition, was laid be-
fore you by message of Dec. 6, 1897, and
showed the large opportunities opened to
make known our national progress in arts,
science and manufactures, as well as the
urgent need of immediate and adequate
S revision to enable due advantage thereof
i> be taken. Mr. Handy*s death soon after-
ward rendered it necessary for another to
take up and complete his unfinished work,
and on Jan. 11 last Thomas W. Cridler,
third assistant secretary of state, was des-
ignated to fulfill that task. His report was
laid before vou by my message of June 14,
1898, with the gratifjang result of awaken-
ing renewed interest in the projected dis-
play.
By a provision in the sundry civil appro-
priation act of July 1, 1898, a sum not to
exceed $650,000 was allotted for the organ-
ization of a commission to care for the
proper preparation and installation of
American exhibits and for the display of
suitable exhibits by the several executive
departments, particularly by the depart-
ment of agriculture, the fish commission
and the Smithsonian Institution, in the rep-
resentation of the government of the United
States, Pursuant to that enactment I ap-
pointed Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago com-
missioner-general, with an assistant com-
missioner-general and secretary. Mr. Peck
at once proceeded to Paris, where his suc-
cess in enlarging the scope and variety of
the United States exhibit has been most
gratifying.
Notwithstanding the comparatively lim-
ited area of the exposition site— less than
one-half that of the World's Fair at Chi-
cago—the space assigned to the United
States has been increased from the abso-
lute allotment of 157,403 square feet re-
ported, by Mr. Handy to some 202,000 square
leet, with corresponding augmentation of
the field for a truly characteristic repre-
sentation of the various important branches
of our country's development.
Mr. Peck's report will be laid before you.
In my Judgment its recommendations will
call for your early consideration, especially
as regards an increase of the appropriation
to at least $1,000,000 in all, so that not only
may the assigned space l>e fully taken up
by the best possible pxhibitor in every class,
but the preparation and installation be on
so perfect a scale as to rank among the
first in that unparalleled competition of ar-
tistic and inventive production, and thus
counterbalance the disadvantage with
which we start as compared with other
countries whose appropriations are on a
more generous scale and whose preparations
are in a state of much greater forwardness
than our own.
Where our artisans have the admitted ca-
Eadty to excel, where our Inventive genius
as initiated many of the grandest discov-
eries of these later days of the century, and
where the native resources of our land are
as limitless as they are valuable to supply
the world's needs, it is our province, as it
should be our earnest care, to lead in the
march of human progress and not rest con-
tent with any secondary place. Moreover,
if this be due to ourselves it is no less due
to the great French nation, whose guests
we become, and which has in so many ways
testified Its wishes and hope that our par-
ticipation shall befit the place the two peo-
ples have won in the field of universal de-
velopment.
REMOVAL OF TRADE RESTRICTIONS.
The commercial arrangement made with
France on May 28, 1898, under the provi-
sions of section 3 of the tariff act of 1897.
went into effect on June 1, following. It
has relieved a portion of our export trade
from serious embarrassment. Further nego-
tiations are now pending unlor s< motion 4
of the same act, with a view to the in-
crease of trade between the two countries
to their mutual advantage.
Negotiations with other governments, in
f>art Interrupted by the war with Spain, are
n progress under both sections of the tariff
act. 1 hope to be able to announce some ot
the results of these negotiations during the
present session of congress.
Negotiations to the same end with Ger-
many have been set on foot. Meanwhile
no effort has been relaxed to convince the

imperial goyemment of the thorougbneM of
our Inspection of pork products xor ex-
portation, and It Is trusted that the efficient
administration of this measure by the de-
partment of agriculture will be recognized
as a guaranty of the healthfulness of the
food staples we send abroad to countries
where their use is large and necessary.
I transmitted to the senate on Feb. 10
last information touching the prohibition
against the importation of fresh fruits from
this country which had then recently been
decreed by Germany on the ground of dan-
ger of disseminating the San Jose scale in-
sect. This precautionary measure was Jus-
tified by Germany on the score of the dras-
tic steps taken in several states of the
union against the spread of the pest, the
elaborate reports of the department of agri-
culture being put in evidence to show the
danger to German fruit-growing interests
should the scale obtain a lodgment in that
country.
Temporary relief was afforded in the case
of large consignments of fruit then on the
way by inspection and admission when
found non-infected. Later the prohibition
was extended to dried fruits of every kind,
but was relaxed so as to apply only to un-
peeled fruit and fruit waste.
As was expected, the alarm reached to
other countries and Switaerland has adopted
a similar inhibition. Efforts are In progress
to induce the German and Swiss govern-
ments to relax the prohibition in favor of
dried fruits shown to have been cured un-
der circumstances rendering the existence
of animal life impossible.
FRIENDSHIP OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Our relations with Great Britain have con-
tinued on the most friendly footing. As-
senting to our request, the protection of
Americans and their interests in Spanish
Jurisdiction was assumed by the diplomatic
and consular representatives of Great Brit-
ain, who fulfilled their delicate and ardu-
ous trust with tact and zeal, eliciting high
oommendation. I may be allowed to make
fitting allusion to the instance of Mr.
Uamsden, her majesty's consul at Santiago
de Cuba, whose untimely death after dis-
tinguished service and untiring effort dur-
ing the siege of that city was sincerely la-
mented.
In the early part of April last, pursuant
to a request made at the instance of the
secretary of state by the British ambas-
sador at this capital, the Canadian govern^
ment granted facilities for the passage of
four United States revenue cutters from the
great lakes to the Atlantic coast by way of
the Canadian canal and the St. Lawrence
river. The vessels had reached Lake On-
tario and were there awaiting the opening
of navigation when war was declared be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Her majesty's governlnent thereupon, by
a communication of the latter part of April,
stated that the permission granted before
the outbreak of hostilities would not be
withdrawn, provided the United States
f:overnment gave assurance that the vessels
n question would proceed direct to a United
States port without engaging in any hos-
tile operation. This government promptly
agreea to the stipulated condition, it being
understood that the vessels would not be
prohibited from resisting any hostile at-
It will give me especial satisfaction if I
shall be authorized to communicate to you
a favorable c(mclu8ion of the pendingr n^o-
tiations with Great Britain in respect to
'the Dominion of Canada. It is the earnest
wish of this government to remove all
sources of discord and irritation in our re-
lations with the neighboring dominion. The
trade between the two countries is con-
stantly increasing and it is important to
both countries that all reasonable facilities
should be granted for its development.
The government of Greece strongly urges
the onerousness of the duty here impoied
upon the currants of that country, amount-
ing to 100 per cent or more of their market
value. This fruit is stated to be exclusively
a Greek product, not coming into competi-
tion with any domestic product. The ques-
tion of reciprocal commercial relations
with Greece, including the restoration of
currants to the free liiBt, is under consid-
eration.
The long-standing claim of Berknd Camp-
bell for damages for injuries sustained from
a violent assault committed against him by
military authorities in the island of Haiti
has been settled by the agreement of that
republic to pay him $10,000 In American
gold. * Of this sum $6,000 has already been
paid. It is hoped that other pending claims
of American citizens against that republic
may be amicably adjusted.
THE AMERICAN FLAG IN HAWAII.
Pending the consideration by the senate
of the treaty signed June 16, 1897, by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States and
the republic of Hawaii, providing for the
annexation of the islands, a Joint resolu-
tion to accomplish the same purpose by ac-
cepting the offered cession and incorpora-
ting the ceded territory Into the union was
adopted by congress and approved July 7,
1898. I thereupon directed the United
States steamer Philadelphia to convey Rear-
Admiral Miller to Honolulu and intrusted
to his hands this important legislative act.
to be delivered to the president of the re-
public of Hawaii, with whom the admiral
and the United States minister were au-
thorized to make appropriate arrangementii
for transferring the sovereignty of the
islands to the united States.
This was simply but impressively accom-
Slished on the 12th of August last by the
ellvery of a certified copy of the resolu-
tion to President Dole, who thereupon
yielded up to the representative of the gov-
ernment of the United States the sover-
eignty and public property of the Hawaiian
islands.
Pursuant to the terms of the Joint reso-
lution and in exercise of the authority
thereby conferred upon me, I directed that
the civil, Judicial and military powers
theretofore exercised by the oflBcers of the
government of the republic of Hawaii
should continue to be exercised by those
ofllcers until congress shall provide a gov-
ernment for the incorporated territory, sab-
Ject to my power to remove such officers
and fill vacancies. The president, officers
and troops of the republic thereui>on took
the oath of allegiance to the United States,
thus providing for the uninterrupted con-
tinuance of an the administrative and mu-
nicipal functions of the annexed territory
until congress shall otherwise enact.
Following the further provisions of the
Joint resolution, I appointed the Hon. Shelbj
M. Cullom of Illinois, John T. Morgan of
Alabama, Robert R. Hitt of Illinois, San-
ford B. Dole of Hawaii and Walter B.

THE M'COBD CLAIM.
The claim of Victor H. McGord against
Peru, which for a number of years has been
pressed by this government and has on sev-
eral occasions attracted the attention of
the coiigress, has been satisfactorily ad-
justed. A protocol was signed May 17, 1898,
whereby, the fact of liability being ad-
mitted, the question of the amount to be
awarded was submitted to the chief justice
of Canada as sole arbitrator. His award
sets the indemnity due the claimant at

The government of Peru has given the
prescribed notification of its intention to

merce and navigation concluded with this

CZAR'S PEACE PROPOSALS.
His majesty the czar having announced
his purpose to raise the imperial Russian
mission at this capital to the rank of an
embassy, I iesponded, under the authority
conferred by the act of March 3, 1893, by
commissioning and accrediting the actual
representative at St. Petersburg in the ca-
pacity of ambassador extraoralnary and
plenipotentiary. The Russian ambassador
to this country has since presented his cre-
dentials.
The proposal of the czar for a general re-
duction of the vast military establishments
that weigh so heavily upon many peoples in
time of peace was communicated to this
government with an earnest invitation to
be represented in the conference which it is
contemplated to assemble with a view to
discussing the means of accomplishing so
desirable a result. His majesty was at
ouce informed uf the cordial sympathy of
this government with the principle in-
volved in his exalted proposal and of the
readiness of the Unltea States to take part
in the conference.
The active military force of the United
States, as measured by our population, ter-
ritorial area and taxable wealth, is, and
under any conceivable conditions must con-
tinue to be, in times of peace, so conspicu-
ously less than that of the armed powers to
whom the czar's appeal is especially ad-
dressed that the question can have for us
no practical importance save as marking an
auspicious step toward the betterment of
the condition of modern peoples and the
cultivation of peace and good-will among
them; but in this view it behooves us as a
nation to lend countenance and aid to the
beneficial project.
The claims of owners of American sealing
vessels for seizure by Russian cruisers in
Bering sea are being pressed to a settle-
ment. The equities of the cases justify the
expectation that a measure of reparation
will eventually be accorded In harmony with
precedent and in the light of the proved
facts.
The recommendation made in my special
message of April 27 last is renewed, .that]
appropriation be made to reimborse the
master and the owners of the Russian bark
Hans for wrongful arrest of the master
and detention of the vessel in Febmary.
1896, by officers of the United States Dis-
trict court for the southern district of
Mississippi. The pai>ers accompanying my
said message make out a most meritorious
claim and justify the nrgency with which
it has been presented by the goTemment of
Russia.
DEATH OF SAMOAN KING.
Malietoa Laupepa, king of Samoa, died
Aug. 22 last. According to article 1 of the
general act of Berlin, ^'his successor shall
e duly elected according to the laws and
customs of Samoa." Arrangements having
been agreed upon between the signatories of
the general act for the return of Mataafa
and the other exiled Samoan chiefs, they
were brought from Jalult by a <}erman wai
vessel and landed at Apia Sept. 18 last.
Whether the death of Malietoa and the re-
turn of his old-time rival, Mataafa, will
add to the undesirable complications which
the execution of the tripartite general act
has heretofore developed remains to be
seen. The efforts of this government will,
as heretofore, be addressed toward a har-
monious and exact fulfillment of the terms
of the international engagement to which
the United States became a party in 1889.
The Cheek claim against Slam, after
some five years of controversy, has been
adjusted by arbitration, under an agree-
ment signed July 6, 1897, an award of
706,721 ticals (about $187,987), with release
of the Cheek estate from mortgage claims,
having been rendered March 81, 1898, in
favor of the claimant by the arbitrator.
Sir Nicholas John Hannen, British chief
justice for China and Japan.
An envoy from Slam has been accredited
to this government and has presented his
credentials.
Immediately hpon the outbreak of the war
with Spain the Swiss government, fultllllng
the high mission it has deservedly assumed
as the patron of the International Red
Cross, proposed to the United States and
Spain that they should severally recognize
and carry Into execution as a modus vivendl
during the continuance of hostilities, the
additional articles proposed by the interna-
tional conference of Geneva, Oct. 20, 1868,
extending the eflFects of the existing Red
Cross convention of 1864 to the conduct of
naval war. Following the example set by
France and Germany in 1870 in adopting
such a modus vivendi, and in view of the
accession of the United States to those ad-
ditional articles In 1882, although the ex-
change of ratifications thereof still re-
mained unefTected, the Swiss proposal wa?
promptly and cordially accept^ by ns and
simultaneously by Spain.
This government feels a keen satisfaction
in having thus been enabled to testify Its
adherence to the broadest principles of hu-
manity even amid the clash of war, and it
Is to be hoped that the extension of the
Red Cross compact to hostilities by sea
as well as on land may soon become an ac-
complished fact through the general pro-
mulgation of the additional naval Bed
Cross articles by the maritime powers now
parties to the convention of 1864.

CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.
The newly accredited envoy of the United
States to the Ottoman porte carries in-
structions looking to the disposal of matters
in controversy with Turkey for a number of
years. He is especially charged to press for
a Just settlement of our claims for indem-
nity by reason of the destruction of the
property of American missionaries resident
in that country during the Armenian
troubles of 1895, as well as for the recogni-
tion of older claims of equal Justness.
He is als6 instructed to seek an adjust-
ment of the dispute growing out of the re>
fusal of Turkey to recognize the acquired
citizenship of Ottoman-born persons natural-
ized in tne United States since 1869, with,
out prior imperial consent; and in the same
feneral relation he is directed to endeavor
o bring' about a solution of the question
which has more or less acutely existed
since 1869 concerning the Jurisdictional
rights of the United States in matters of
criminal procedure and punishment under
article 4 of the treaty of 1830. This latter
difficulty grows out of a verbal difference,
claimed by Turkey to be essential, between
the original Turkish text and the promul-
gated translation.
After more than two years from the ap-
pointment of a consul of this country to Er-
seroum he has received his exequatur.
THE VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION.
The arbitral tribunal appointed under the
treaty of February, 1897, between Great
Britain and Venezuela, to determine the
boundary line between the latter and the
colony of British Guiana, is to convene at
Paris during the present month. It is a
source of much gratification to this govern-
ment to see the friendly resort of arbitra-
tion applied to the settlement of this con-
troversy, not alone because of the earnest
part we have had in bringing about the re-
sult, but also because the two members
named on behalf of Venezuela, Mr. Chief
Justice Fuller and Mr. Justice Brewer,
chosen from our highest court, appropri-
ately • testify the continuing Interest we
feel in the definitive adjustment of the
?iuestion according to the strictest rules of
ustice. The British members. Lord Her-
schell and Sir Richard Collins, are Jurists
of no less exalted repute, while the fifth
member, and president of the tribunal. M,
F. de Martens, has earned a world-wide
reputation as an authority upon interna-
tional laifv
The claim of Felipe Scandella against
Venezuela for arbitrary expulsion and in-
Jury to his business has been adjusted by
the revocation of the order of expulsion and
by the payment of the sum of $16,000.
BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
I have the satisfaction of being able to
state that the bureau of American repub-
lics, created in 1890 as the organ for pro-
moting commercial Intercourse and frater-
nal relations among the countries of the
western hemisphere, has become a more ef-
ficient instrument of the wise purposes of
its founders and is receiving the cordial
support of the contributing members of the
international union which are actually rep-
resented in its board of management. A
commercial directory, in two volumes, con
taining a mass of statistical matter de-
scriptive of the industrial and commercial
interests of the various countries, has beei:
printed in English, Spanish, Portuguese and
French, and a montnly bulletin published
In these four languages and distributed ic
the Latin- American countries, as well &f
in the United States, has proved to be 8
valuable medium for disseminating informa<
tion and furthering the varied interests ol
the international union.
During the last year the important worb
of collecting information of practical bene
fit to American industries and trade througti
the agency of the diplomatic and consulai
officers has been steadily advanced, and ic
order to lay such data before the public
with the least delay the practice was begun
in January, 1898, of issuing the commercial
reports from daty to day as they are received
by the department of state. It is believed
that for promptitude as well as fullness ol
information the service thus supplied to oui
merchants and manufacturers will be founc
to show sensible improvement and to merit
the liberal support of the congress.
CAPTURE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.
The experiences of the last year brin$
forcibly home to us a sense of tne burdenf
and the waste of war. We desire, in com
mon with most civilized nations, to reduce
to the lowest possible point the damage su^
tained in time of war by peaceable tradi
and commerce. It is true we may suffer ir
such cases less than other communities. bui
all nations are damaged more or less by th<
state of uneasiness and apprehension int(
which an outbreak of hostilities throws tti<
entire commercial world. It should be ou:
object, therefore, to minimize, so far at
practicable, this inevitable loss and dis
turbance. This purpose can probably h<
best accomplished by an Internationa
agreement to regard all private property a
sea as exempt from capture or destructioi
by the forces of belligerent powers. Th(
United States government has for man;
years advocated this humane and beneflcen
principle, and is now in position to recom
mend it to other powers without the im
putation of selfish motives. I therefore sug
fest for your consideration that the execu
ive be authorized to correspond with th
governments of the principal maritime povv
ers with a view of incorporating into th
permanent law of civillzod nations the prii
ciple of the exemption of all private proi
erty at sea, not contraband of war. froi
capture or destruction by belUigerent po¥
ers.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
The secretary of the treasury reports th8
the receipts of the government from a
sources during the fiscal year ended June 3i
1896, including $84,761,223 received from sa]
of Pacific railroads, amounted to $405,321,331
and its expenditures to $443,368,582. Tbei
was collected from customs $149,575,062 at
from internal revenue $170,900,641. Our di
tiable imports amounted to $324,735,479,
decrease of $58,166,690 over the precedlr
year, and importations free of duty amoun
ed to $291,414,175, a decrease from the pr
ceding year of $90,624,068. Internal reveni
receipts exceeded those of the precedli
year by $24,212,068. The total tax collect*
on distilled spirits was $92,546,999, <
manufactured tobacco $36,230,522 and on fe
mented liquors $39,515,421. We export!
merchandise during the year amounting
336
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1899.
$1,231,482,330, an Increase of $180,488,774 from
the preceding year.
It is estimated, apon the basis of present
revenne laws, that the receipts of the gov-
ernment for the year ending June SO, 1899,
will be $677,874, M7, and its expenditures
$689,874,647, resulting in a deficiency of
$112,000,000.
On the Ist of December, 1898, there was
held in the treasury gold amounting to
$138,441,647. gold bullion amounting to $138,-
602.646, silrer bullion amounting to $93,-
369,260, and other forms of money amounting
to $461,963,981.
On the same date the amount of money of
all kinds in circulation or not included in
treasury holdings was $1,836,879,604, an in-
crease for the year of $166,794,966. Esti-
mating our population at 76,194,000 at the
time mentioned, the per capita circulation
was $26.09.
The provisions made for strengthening the
resources of the treasury in connection
with the war have given increased confi-
dence In the purpose and power of the gov-
ernment to maintain the present standard
and have established more firmly than ever
the national credit at home and abroad. A
marked evidence of this is found in the in-
flow of gold to the treasury. Its net gold
holdings^ov. 1, 1898, were $239,885,160, com-
f>ared with $163,573,147 Nov. 1, 1897, and an
ncrease of net cash of from $207,766,100 Nov.
1, 1897, to $300,238,275 Nov. 1, 1898. The pres-
ent ratio of net treasury gold to outstand-
ing government liabilities, including United
States treasury notes of 1890, silver certifi-
cates, currency certificates, standard silver
dollars and fractional silver coin, Nov. 1,
1898, was 26.36 per cent, as compared with
16.96 per cent Nov. 1, 1897.
I renew so much of my recommendation
of December, 1897, as follows:
••That when any of the United States
notes are presented for redemption in gold
and are redeemed In gold such notes snail
be kept and set apart and only paid out in
exchange for gold. This Is an obvious duty.
If the bolder of the United States note pre-
fers the gold and gets it from the govern-
ment he should not receive back from the
government a United States note without
?aying gold in exchange for it. The reason
or this is made all the more apparent
when the government issues an interest-
bearing debt to provide gold for the re-
demption of United States notes — a non-
interest -bearing debt. Surely it should not
pay them out again except on demand and
for gold. If they are put out in any other
way they may return again, to be followed
by another bond issue to redeem them —
anotlier interest-bearing debt to redeem a
nen-interest-bearing debt."
This recommendation was made In the
belief that such provisions of law would in-
sure to a greater degree the safety of the
present standard and oetter protect our cur-
rency from the dangers to which It is sub-
jected from a disturbance in the general
business conditions of the country.
In my Judgment the present condition of
the treasury amply Justifies the Immediate
enactment of the legislation recommended
one year ago. under which a portion of the
gold holdings should be placed in a trust
fund from which greenbacks should be re-
deemed upon presentation, but when once
redeemed should not thereafter be paid out
except for gold.
It Is not to be inferred that other legisla-
tion relating to our currency is not re-
quired; on the contrary, there is an obvious
demand for It. The importance of adequate
provisidn which will Insure to our future, a
money standard related as our money
standard now is to that of our commercial
rivals is generally recognised. The com-
panion proposition that our domestic paper
currency snail be kept safe and yet be so
related to the needs of our industries aad
internal commerce as to be adequate and
responsive to such needs is a proposition
scarcely less important. The subject, in all
its parts, is commended to the wise consid-
eration of the congress.
The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations of the United States to
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, re-
sulting from the war, compel the prompt
adoption of a maritime 'policy by the
United States. There shoula be established
a regular and frequent steamship com-
munication, encouraged by the United
States, under the American flag, with the
newly acquired islands. Spain furnished to
its colonies, at an annual cost of about
$2,000,000, steamship lines communicating
with a portion of the world's markets as
well as with trade centers of the home
government.
The United States will not undertake te
do less. It is our duty to furnish the people
of Hawaii with facilities under national
control for their export and Import trade.
It will be conceded that the present situa-
tion calls for legislation which shall be
urgent, durable and liberal.
The part which American merchant ves-
sels and their seamen performed in the
war with Spain demonstrates that this
service, furnishing both pickets and the sec-
ond line of defense, is a national necessity
and should be encouraged in every constitu-
tional way.
Details and methods for the accomplish-
ment of this purpose are discussed in tne re-
port of the secretary of the treasury, to
which th6 attention of the .ccmgress is re-
spectfully invited.
In my last annual message I recommended
that the congress authorize the appoint-
ment of a commission for the purpose
of making systematic Investigations with
reference to the cause and prevention of
yellow fever. This matter has acquired an
increased importance as a result of the
military occupation of the island of Cuba
and the commercial intercourse between
this island and the United States which we
have every reason to expect. The sanitary
problems connected with our new relations
with the island of Cuba and the acquisition
of Puerto Rico are no less important than
those relating to finance, commerce and ad-
ministration. It Is my earnest desire that
these problems may be considered by com-
Setent experts and that everything may be
one which the most recent advances In
sanitary science can offer for the protec-
tion of the health of our soldiers in these
islands and of our citizens who are ex-
ftosed to the dangers of infection from the
mportation of yellow fever. I therefore re-
new my recoihmendation that the authority
of the congress may be given and a suitable
appropriation made to provide for a com-
mission of experts to be appointed ' for thB
purpose indicated.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1890.
A proper regard for the safety, comfort
and convenience of the oflScers and em-
rtloyea would Justify the expenditure of a
iberal sum of money in the erection of a
new building of commodious proportions
and handsome appearance upon the very
advantageous site already secured for that
f)uri)ose, including the ground occupied by
he present structure and adjoining vacant
property, comprising in all a frontage of 201
feet In Pennsylvania avenue and a depth
of 136 feet.
In this connection I may likewise refer to
the inadequate accommodations provided
for the Supreme court In the capitol, and
suggest the wisdom of making provision
for the erection of a separate building for
the court and its oflflces and library upon
available ground near the capitol.
ADVANCE OF THE POSTAL SERVICE.
The postal service of the country ad-
vances with extraordinary growth, within
twenty years both the revenues and the ex-
penditures of the postofflce department have
multiplied three- fold. In the last ten years
they have nearly doubled. Our postal busi-
ness grows much more rapidly than our
population. It now involves an expenditure
of 1100,000.000 a year, numbers 73,000 post-
offices and enrolls 200,000 employes. This
remarkable extension of a service which is
an accurate Index of the public conditions
presents gratifying evidence of the ad-
vancement of education, of the increase of
communication and business activity and of
the improvement of mail facilities leading
to their constantly augmenting use.
The war with 2Spaln laid new and excep-
tional labors on tne postofflce department.
The mustering of the military and naval
forces of the United istates required special
mail arrangements for every camp and
every campaign. The communication be-
tween homo and camp was naturally eager
and expectant. In some of the larger
places of rendezvous as many as 50,d00 let-
ters a day required handling. This neces-
sity was met by the prompt detail and dis-
ftatch of experienced men from the estab-
ished force and by directing all the in-
stnimentalities of the railway mail and
postofflce service so far as necessary to this
new need. Congress passed an act empow-
ering the postmaster-general to establish
offices or branches at every military camp
or station, and under this authority the
postal machinery was speedily put Into ef-
fective operation.
Under the same authority, when our
forces moved upon Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, they were attended and
followed by the postal service. Though the
act of congress authorized the appointment
of postmasters where necessary, it was
early determined that the public interests
would be best subserved not by new desig-
nations, but by the detail of experienced
men familiar with every branch of the
service, and this policy was steadily fol-
lowed. When the territory which was the
theater of conflict came Into our possession
it became necessary to re-establish mail fa-
cilities for the resident population, as well
as to provide them for our forces of occu-
pation, and the former requirement was
met through the extension and application
of the latter obligation. I gave the requi-
site authority, and the same general prin-
ciple was applied to this as to other
branches of civil administration under mili-
tary occupation. The details are more par-
ticularly given In the report of the post-
master-general, and while the work Is only
hist begun it is pleasing to be able to say
that the service in the territory which has
come under our control is already material-;
ly Improved. '
NAVAL PLANS INDORSED.
The following recommendations of the sec-
retary of the navy relative to the Increase
of the navy have my earnest approval:
1. Three sea-going, sheathed and coppered
battleships of about 13,500 tons trial dis-
placement, carrying the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, and to have the highest practicable
speed and great radius of action. Esti-
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment. $4,000,000 each.
2. Three sheathed and coppered armored
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace-
ment, carrying the heaviest armor and most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, and to have the highest practicable
speed and great radius of action. Esti-
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment. 14,000,000 each.
3. Three sheathed and coppered protected
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace-
ment; to have the highest practicable speed
and great radius of action and to carry the
most powerful ordnance suitable for vessels
of their class. Estimated cost, excluslTe of j
armor and armament, $2,150,000 each. '
4. Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of
about 2,500 tons trial diaplacement ; to have
the highest speed compatible with good
cruising qualities, great radius of action
and to carry the most powerful ordnance
suited to vessels of their class. Estimated
cost, exclusive of armament, $1,141, SCO each.
I join with the secretary of the navy In
recommending that the grades of admiral
and vice-admiral be temporarily revived, to
be filled by officers who nave especflAly dis-
tinguished themselves in the war with
Spain.
THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
I earnestly urge upon congress the im-
portance of early legrislatlon providing for
the taking of the twelfth census. This is
necessary in view of the large amount of
work which must be performed In the prep-
aration of the schedules preparatory to the
enumeration of the population.
NAMES ON THE PENSION BOLLS.
There were on the pension rolls June 30,
1898, 993,714 names, an increase of nearly
18,000 over the number on the rolls the
same day of the preceding year. The
amount appropriated oy the act of Dec. 22,
1896, for tne payment of pensions for the
fiscal year 1898 was $140,000,000. Eight mil-
lion seventy thousand eight hundred and
seventy-two dollars and forty-six cents was
appropriated by the act of March 31, 1898,
to cover deficiencies in armv pensions and
repayments In the sum of $12,020.33, mak-
ing a total of $148,082,892.79 available for
the payment of pensions during the fiscal
year 1898. The amount disbursed from that
sum was $144,651,879.80, leaving a balance
of $3,431,012.99 unexpended June 30, 1888,
which was covered into the treasury.
There were 389 names added to tne rolls
during the year by special acts passed at
the second session of the LVth congress,
making a total of 6,486 pensioners by con-
gressional enactments since 1861.
The total receipts of the patent office dur-
ing the last yoar were $1,253,948,440. The ex-
penditures were $1,081,633.79 leaving a sor-
plus of $172,314.65.

'Includes scattering, blank and defective votes.
In calculating pluralities in this and the following tables the Bryan-Sewall, the Bryan-
Watson and the middle-of-the-road votes are combined for the Bryan vote.. There was fusion
on the electoral ticket of the democrats and populists, and in some states silver republicans, in
the following states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In some of the states, like Illlnoia and
Kansas, there were Brvan- Watson tickets run by the middle-of-the-road populists.
It has been impossible to separate the populist from the democratic vote in the states in
which there was a f nslon of those parties. In some of the states, like Illinois, in which the
two parties voted for the same electors, but upon separate tickets, county ofBcers, in making
returns to the secretaries of state, have combined the votes on electors and it is impossible to
say how the vote should be divided. In such cases the vote classed under the head '' Bryan-
Watson" is no indication of the strength of the people's party, while at the same time it (rtves
too large a vote to the democrats. There is no way of giving, even approximately, the vote
of the two parties on presidential electors.
