The greatest onthusiasm prevaile. espite the hot weather, and the lead re of the party were given a magnifi ent reception. Mr. Bryan spoke on the question o mperialism, entirely ignoring silver rusts and other issues of the campaign 'his fact was the sensational feature i the day. Mr. Stevenson covered the several asues, but made scant reference tc liver, confining his remaks on the sub. act to the statement that the party ad reaflirmed the demand-lor bimet lliam. Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, in accepting the )cmocratic nomination for president, p)oke as follows : "Mr. Chairman and members of the rational Committee: "I shall, at an early day and in u iore formal manner, accept the nomi ation which you tender, and I shall at bat time discuss the various questions overed by the Democratic platform, a may not be out of place however, tu ibmit a few observations at this time pon the general character of the con 3st before us, and upon the question 'hich is declared to be of paramount uportance in this compaign. "When I say that the contest of 1900 i a contest between Democracy on the no hand and plutocracy on the other, do not mean to say that all our oppo ents have deliberately chosen to give > organized wealth a predominating illuence in the affairs of the govern iont, but I do asse.rt that on the im ortant issues of the day the lRepubli in party is dominated by those inliu aces which constantly tend to elevato 3cuniary considerations and Ignore uman rights. "In 1851) lAncoln saId that the Re ublican party believed in the man and ie dollar, but that in case of conilict believed in the man before the dol r. This is the proper relation which iould exist between the two. Man, ie handiwork of God, comes first; oney, the handiwork of man, Is of iferIor Importance. Man is the mas r; money is the servant, but upon all nportant questions to-day, Republican gislation tends to make money the aster and man the servant. "The maxim of Jefferson, 'Equai .ghts to all and special privileges to one,' and the doctrine of Lincoln that its should be a government 'Of the cople, by the people, and for the peo le,' are being disregarded and the in ,rumentalities of government are be Ig used to advance the interests of iose who are in a position to secure ivors from the government. "The Democratic party Is not mak g war upon the honest acquisition of ealth ; it has no desire to diacourage dustry, economy and thrift. On the mintrary, it gives to every'citizen the eatest possible stimulus to honest II, when it promises him protection the enjoyment of the proceeds of his bor. Property rights are most so ire when human rights are respected. emocracy strives for a civilization in hich every member of society will iare according to his merits. "No one has a right to expect from ociety more than a fair compensation r the services which he renders to aciety. If he secures inuore, it is at e expense of some one else. It is nc ijustice to him to prevent his doing ijustice to another. To him whc ould , either through class leg islatior in the absence of necessary legis mtion, trespass upon the rights of an ~her, the Democratic narty says, Thou shalt not.' "Against us are arrayed a comupara vely small, but politically and flnan 1ly powerful number, who really -ofit by Republican policies ; but with om are associated a large number ho, because of their attachment to the irty name, are giving their own doc 'lnes antagonistic to the former teach igs of their own party. Republicans ho used to advocete bimetallism, now y to convince themselves that the old standard is good ; Republicans ho were formerly attached to the reenback are now seeking an excuse r giving national banks control of the tion's paper money ; Republicans ho used to boast that the Republican rty was paying off the national debts e now looking for reasons to sup~port perpetual andi increasing debt ; Re Lblicans who formerly abhored a ust, now be..guile theelves with the ulusion that there are good trusts and id trusts, while in their minds, the no between the two is becoming more ud more obscure; Republicans who in mes past congratulated the country pon the small expense of our stand ig army, are now making light of the jections which are urged against a rge increase in the permanent mill 1,ry establishment; Republicans who loried in our independence when the ition was less powerful, now look ith iavor upon a foreign alliance upublicans who three years ago con nmnnod 'forceable annexation' as Im moral and even criminal, are now sure iat It is both immoral and criminal tc ppaose forceable annexation. That par' sanship has already blinded many to resent danger is certain ; how large a ortion of the Republican party can be rawn over to the new p~olitics remainen o be seen. "iFor a time lItpublican leaders were nclined to deny to opponents the right Li crIticise the Philippine polIcy ol he ad ministration, but upon investiga ion they found that both Lincoln and slay assorted and exercised the right 0 crIticise a president during the pro :ress of the Mexican war. "Instead of meeting the Issue boldly ,nd submitting a clear and poesitivo lian for dealing with the l'hilippinn Luestlon the [(opublican conventior dopted a platfor'm, the larger part o1 rhich was devoted to boasting and el f-congratulation. "In attempting to press economit uestions upon the country to the ex clusion of those whieh involved the very structures of our government, the Republican leaders give new evi dence of their abandonment of the earlier ideals of the party and of their complete subserviency to pecuniary considerations. "But they shall not be permitted to evade the stupendous and far reaching issue which they have deliberately brought into the arena of politics. " When the president, supported by a practically unanimous vote of the House and Senate, entered upon a war with Spain for the purpose of aiding the struggling patriots of Cuba, the country. without regard to party, ap plauded. Although the Democrats rec ognized that the administration would necessarily gain a political advantage from the conduct of a war which, in the very nature of the case must soon end in a complete victory, they vied with the Republicans in the support which they gave to the president. Wbon the war was over and the Republican lead era began to suggest the propriety of a colonial policy opposition at once man ifested itself. When the president fin ally laid before the Senate a treaty which recognized the independence of Cuba, but provided for the cession of the Philippine Islands to the United States, the menace of imperialism be came so apparent that many preferred to reject the treaty and risk the ills that might follow rather than take the chance of correcting the errors of the treaty by the independent action of this country. I was among the number of those who believed it better to ratify the treaty and end the war, release the volunteers, remove the excuse for war expenditures, and then give the lilipi nos the independence which might be forced from Spain by a new treaty. " In view of the criticism which my action aroused in some quarters 1 take this occasion to restate the reasons given at that time. I thought it safer to trust the American people to give in pendencc to the Filipinos than to trust the accomplishment of that purpose to diplomacy with an unfriendly nation. 1 Lincoln embodied an argument in the I question, when he asked : ' Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws'?' I believe that we are now in a better position to wage a suc cessful contest against imperialism than we would have been had the treaty been rejected. " With the treaty ratified, a clean cut issue is presented between a gov ernment by consent and a government I by force, and imperialists must bear the responsibility for all that happens until the question is settled. i If the treaty had been rejected, I the opponents of imperialism would have been held responsible for any in ternational complications which might have arisen before the ratification of another treaty. But whatever differ ences of opinion may have existed as to the best method of opposing the colonial policy, there never was any differences as to the great importance of the question and there Is no differ ence now as to the course to be pur sued. "The title of Spain being extinguish ed, we were at liberty to deal with the Filipinos according to American prin ciples. The Bacon resolution, intro 1 duced a month before hostilities broke out at Manila, promised independence I to the Filipinos on the same terms that 4 It was promised to the Cubans. I sup- I ported this resolution and believe that its adoption prior to the breaking out I of hostilities would have prevented i bloodshed, and that its adoption at any subsequent time would have ended hostilities. " If -the- treaty had been rejected considerable time would have neces sarily elapsed before a new treaty could have been agreed upon and rati lied, and during that time the question would have been agitating the public mind. If the Bacon resolution had been adopted by the Senate and carried out by the president either at the time of the ratification of the treaty or at any time af ter wards, it would have tak en the question, of imperialism out of polities and left the American people free to deal with their domestic problems. But the resolution wan defeated by the viote of'the Republican vice president, and from that time to this a Republi can Congress has refused to take any action whatever in the matter. " When hostilities broke out at Ma nila, Republican speakers and Repub lican editors at once sought to lay the blame upon those who had delayed the ratification of the treaty, and, during the progress of the war, the same Re puhlicans have accused the opponents of imperialism of giving encourage-1 ment to the ilpinos. " This is a cowardly evasion of re sponsibility. " If it ie right for the United States to hold the Philippine islands per manently and imitate Isuropean em pires in the government of colonies. the Republican party ought to state its position and defend it, but it must ex pect the subject races to protest against such a policy and to resist to the extent of their ability. The Filipinos do not need any encouragement from Ameri cans now living. Our whole history has been an encouragement, not only to the Filipinos but to all who are de nieda voice in their own government. If the Republicans are prepared to censure all who have used language calculated, to make the Filipinos hate .foreign domination, let them condemn the speech of Patrick Henry. " When he uttered that passionate appeal, 'Give me liberty or give me death,' he expressed a sentiment which still echoes la the heart. of men. " Lot them censure .Jelferson ; of all the statesmen of hiatory none have used words so offensive to those who would hold their fellows in political bondage. " Let them censure Washington, who declared that the colonists must choosed between liberty and slavery. " Or, if the statute of limitation has run against the sins of Henry and Jef ferson and Washington, let them cen sure incoln, whose Gettysburg speech will be quoted in defense of popular governmbnt when the present advo cates of force and conqluest are for gotten.

"Better a thousand times that our flag in the Orient give way to a flag representing the idea of self-govern ment than that the flag of this repnb 113 should become the flag of an em pire. "There Is an easy, honest, honorable solution of the Philippino question. It is set forth in the Democratic plat form and it is submitted with confi dence to the American people. This plan I unreservedly indorse. If elect ed, I shall convene Congress in extra ordinary session as soon as I am inau gurated, and recommend an iminedi ate declaration of the nation's purpose, first, to establish a stable form of gov urnment in the Philippine islands, just ite we are now establishing a stable form of government in the island of Cuba; second, to give independence to the Filipinos, just as we promised to give independence to the Cubans; third, to protect the Filipinos from utside interference while they work Dut their destiny, just as we have pro tected the republics of Central and South America, and are, by the Monroo lootrine, pledged to protect Cuba. "An European protectorate often re mits in the exploitation of the ward by the guardian. An American pro ectorate gives to the nation protected he advantage of our strength without mnaking it the victim of our greed. ['or three-quarters of a century the ,%onroe doctrine has been a shield to ieighboring republics, and yet it has tmposed no pecuniary burden upon us. After the Filipinos had aldeil us in the war against Spain, we could not honor %bly turn them over to their former nasters; we could not leave them to 3e the victims of the ambitious designs )f the European nations, and since we lo not desire to make them a part of is, or to hold them as subjects, we pro 3ose that the only alternative is, name y, to give them independence and guard them against molostation from Nithout. "When our opponents are unable to lefend their position by argument they all back upon the assertion that it a destiny, and insist that we must sub nit to it, no matter how much it vlo ates moral precepts and our princl )ies of government. This is a coml >lacent philosophy. It obliterates the listinction between right and wrong md makes individuals and nations the iolpiess victims of circumstances.

No exterior force can disturb this re nublic, and no foreign influence should 3e permitted to change its course.

OUI PAtIS EXPO1TION LETER PARIS, i1rance, July 23, 1900. The giant university -of the West that has been so splendidly endowed by Mr. Rockfeller has a most interesting ex hibit at Paris, showing features of uni vorsity work and experimental scienti fie apparatus. Many of the instruments shown were invented by Prof. Michel son, and made in the University labra tory. Among these is an apparatus for analyzing sound ; a ruling engine for drawing lines of great fineness on metal; a machine for measuring lengths and ang los to the accuracy of a wave length 1f light, and soveral others of Interest to scientists and spocialists. University extension Is picturesquely expressed by maps showing its groat spread and progress. A glance at these maps will show that the work has been extended from western Pennsylvania to the Ha wallan islands. Loreign savants and educators are no little Impressed with the immensity and growth of the Chli ,ago University. The British and Amorican exhibitors at Paris are holding reunions twice a nonth in Parls, and are getting better acquainted with each other at the fes Gal board. Their last dinner and smok ng concert as it is called, was held at ho restaurant des Palais Avenue de SulTen. These reunions of a people who speak the same language, and the language which Is rapidly becoming the universal language will no doubt have an cifoct to strengthen friendship between the nany in.lustrial represen atives of the two nations assembled in P'aris. By showing my card as the rop cosentativo of your paper, I secured ad nission last week to the E'nglish pavil ion, notwithstanding the fact that it was closed that day.

Frenchmen and foreign ers stand without and look on with curious surpriso. The American bar bor chair is much more elaborato and luxurious than the little stiff-backed chair In which Frenchmen are accus tomed to be shaved. Another exhibit scarcely loss inter esting Is an American boot-black, with an improved chair and paraphernalia for producing a shine.

The members of the jury on wines had a most sumptuous banquet last week at the hotel Marguery. It was given by Prince Galitzine, the foreman of the jury. The Parisian papers call it a Lucullus feast. Twenty-two differ ent kinds of wines were served. The oldest was a sherry of 154, and the youngest a Johannesberg of 1863. The tirst wine served was an Oporto, of 1815. it would seem remarkable that this jury was able to render a verdict, on the comparative merits of the wines af ter this feast. The Itussian Ambas sador, Prince Ouroussff, presided and the guests Included prominent repre sentatives in official life. The two twenty-two times happy Americans present were Mr. Lee J. Vance, of New York, and Dr. H. W. Wiley, of Wash ington. The dinner lasted from seven p. m. until midnight. A number of American wines have been excluded from competition on account, of Incor rect names and labels In imitation of irench trade marks.
