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

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

believed in the man before the dol

iould exist between the two. Man,

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.

"Against us are arrayed a comupara

1ly powerful number, who really

jections which are urged against a

upublicans who three years ago con
nmnnod 'forceable annexation' as Im

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.

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

"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

mnaking it the victim of our greed.
['or three-quarters of a century the

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

nasters; we could not leave them to

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

The British and Amorican exhibitors
at Paris are holding reunions twice a

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

and a tine examil)e of the old 1English

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.

icessary to go down 2,000 feet and it
s expeccted that a fountain, throwing a
Let of water from 60 to 75 feet in the
air will result. The city of Paris will
rnament the fountain with bronze

in this line of work, will probably be
the artist employed. There is no doubt
that the erection of the monaumnents of
Washington and Laivayetto, this arte

of the recent liourth of July festivities,
