ization or to convert the republic into an empire, we favor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give to the Filipinos, first, a stable form of government; secondly, independence; and third, protection from outside interference, such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central and South America. The greedy commercialism which dictated the Philippine policy of the Republican administration attempts to justify it with the plea that it will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought to the test of facts. The war of criminal aggression against the Filipinos, entailing an annual expense of many millions, has already cost more than any possible profit that could accrue from the entire Philippine trade for years to come. Furthermore, when trade is extended at the expense of liberty, the price is always too high.

The leading political parties in recent years have made almost identical declarations in their national platforms. At the beginning of the campaign of 1896 the Democratic National Convention, which nominated Mr. Bryan, ignored the subject; but the Free-Silver wing of the party, in convention in Chicago, declared: We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious monetary system which depresses the prices of their products below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of the means of pu

Watson, of Georgia, was nominated forieving that Sewall would withdraw in his favor, in view of their endorsement of Bryan. Sewall did not withdraw, and the anger this caused did much to offset the fus. A so-called Silver convention met in St. Louis at the same time and endorsed Bryan and Sewall.

In the ensuing election Weaver received 22 electoral votes (in the West), and 1,041,028 popular votes. Several Senators and Representatives in the later Congresses have been Populists. In the Presidential election of 1896 the People's party combined with the Democratic party in nominating William J. Bryan for President, but nominated Thomas E. Watson for Vice-President. See political parties in the United States; Presidential elections. The Hon. W. A. Peffer, late United States Senator for Kansas, one of the leaders of the People's party, wrote as follows during the campaign of 1900: That the People's party is passing must be evident to all observers.
