SPEAKS AGAINST IMPERIALISM.
Senator James K. Jones Tells Why the War Was
Started and When Its End Should Come--Cuban
Freedom Was the Object.

st. Louis, August 2. = Senator
James K. Jones, chairman of the
National Democratic Committee,
who was in the city comforting
with prominent members of his
party, had this to say concerning
our foreign policy before he left
New York:
The United States is pledged to
the world that an independent and
stable government shall be estab-
lished in Cuba. When l voted for
that resolution, nothing was said
about imperialism. This country
cannot afford to go back on its
views, which l believe are these Of
the Democratic party.
Il do not know what condition
may arise respecting Cuba, but l
have never known OF a Spanish.
American community capable OF
seh-government, and it is posi-
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-08-03

bic that since we set out to free
Cuba from Spanish domination,
we may be compelled to pursuse a
course which will eventuate in
the control of the island. While
am not in favor of the acquisi-
ton of territory in the tropics,
this course would be less objec-
tionable than any other.
Cuba is adjacent to the United
States, and SO is Porto Rico, but
the thought Of annexing the Phil
ippines is preposterous, undemo-
cratic and not in accordance with
the principles handed down from
the days OF Thomas Jefferson.
I'VE began this war to secure
the independence of Cuba. and
nothing more When we have ac-
complished that end, and Spain
has Unidentified us for the enor-
nous war expense, our mission
will be done"

WHAT'S THE TROUBLEe

We take the following opening nara
graph from half-column editorial of
the same sort from the pen of Editor
Pecksniff, of Fourteenth street:
Judging from quite lengthy editorial
In the Register, filled with malicious in
timafions that President Mckinley is not
Spain, with especial reference to the Phil
lppines, the reader is forced to the con-
G Siiuslon that . our contemporary is. sadly
called 'imperialist' policy which the
Democratic politicians had charged to the
tRepublcan party in advance has been
so lacking In fairness that 1t cannot give
an opposition admins ira ton credit for
honesty or purpose. and which isn't broad
IS receiving the commentator of fair
minded Americans throughout the coun-
ny Tor what he has accomplished under
the stress OF great REF pOnSibility places
Itself on level with unfriendly foreign
critics.
Now, what ails Editor Pecksniff? We
really haven't an idea what he is allud
ing to in this scathing denunciation
unless it be certain comments in these
columns upon the ignominous aban-
comment Of the imperialistic policy by
ments certainly did not call for the
frightful scolding which Pecksniff
heaps upon the Register.
Can Pecksniff be seeing things?"
Or is he hearing strange noises? What
does he mean by the Registers mali
clous intimations that President Nc
lie cip I,
peace laid down to Spain, with especial
reference to the Philippines?" The
Register surely never intimated any,
thing OF the kind although it certainly
did intimate very broadly. and repeats
the intimation, that the President and
certain members of his Cabinet have
seen a great white light in the shape
OF popular opinion on their territory
grabbing and imperialistic policy.
which has caused a summary and pre-
cipitate abandonment of that scheme of
expansion. Does it indicate "lack-
ing in fairness" etc., to show that the
President has had the common sense
" oCC anu 1OilcSliy Iedu TIE SlSIS OF
the times and to abandon a false policy
when he became aware the people
would not endorse it? If it is getting
on level with foreign critics." as Old
Hypocrisy says it is, to indicate these
things it is high time Pecksniff was
getting on the foreign level too, and
giving his President some honest advice
instead of greeting all his acts, wise
or unwise, with the same fulsome, in
discriminating praise and adulation
which certainly must turn the Presi-
Dental stomach if Mr.. Mckinley ever
reads his slavish party organs
When Old Hypocrisy says the Regis
ter does not give the President credit
for his change of front on the Philip
pines question. Pecksniff is toying in
his usual reckless manner with the
truth. The Register has and does most
heartily gives the President credit for
having the sense and bravery to change
his policy and turn down the Wall
street horde Of speculative territory

If there is get-at-able gold in sea-
water, as is claimed by the directory of
a New England company, formed to
extract it, whose general manager has
just mysteriously disappeared with
snug fortune, what great and brand
new field has been opened up for gold
seekers! The Klondike isn't in it, and
we may expect the early formation of
a Wall street clique to fence off the
ocean and control the output.

The Americans having given the

own independence? Spain can never
whip him.

graD 6ers xhen ~ AN the pecpls|
Y9uld not stomach Tint proposed
departure from the Monroe Doc
trine and our time-honored policy
Of keeping aloof from the entangle-
ments and alliances OF monarchical Eu-
rope. And 1t takes considerable back
bone in Republican President to turf
down the powerful Wall street ele-
ment, which dominates his party in
Congress and dictates platforms and
policies. In fact, we did not think Mr..
Mckinley had so much backbone as
was exhibited in the spectacle Of him
and Banker Gage standing out against
the rest of the Cabinet against the
imperialistic policy. And right here
we are constrained to diverge from the
argument moment to ask Pecksniff
what he means by intimating that the
imperialistic policy had no existence as
a policy of the administration or of
the Republican leaders? Does not
Pecksniff know that practically every
member of President McKinley's Cabi-
net except Secretary Gage was strong
ly in favor of this imperialistic policy
and of holding and keeping the terri
tory we have wrested from Spain? If
Pecksniff does not know this he is ig-
norant of a matter that for some time
has been current comment in the whole
press of the country. The truth is
Pecksniff does know it but he has
favorite habit Of shutting his eyes to
many schemes of his party and then de-
claring they don't exist, which is
very convenient trait for a thick and
thin party organist like Pecksniff to
possess.
The truth of the matter is this, as
Pecksniff would acknowledge If he
were less consummate hypocrite,
that President Mckinley and his en-
tire Cabinet, with the possible excep-
ton of Gage, have been rampant i'm
perialists, as nine-tenths of the Repub-
lican organs of the country, who al
ways reflect the sentiment of the party
bosses, have been, if they are not now;
but the people of all parties and from
ocean to ocean so promptly and en-
phatically repudiated territory-grab-
bling and Imperialism, backed mainly
by Wall street, which saw opportuni-
ties for vast personal enrichment by
getting in ION the ground floor" that
the timid President, propped up by Sec
rotary Gage, was finally brought to the
point of repudiating the policy, and he
did so, although only at the eleventh
hour.
These are facts of common knowl-
edge and the champion hypocrite of
Fourteenth street cannot dispel
them from the minds Of the people by
pretending they never existed They
did exist and would exist to-day as the
policy of the Republican party If nine
tenths of the Republican leaders had
their way, as witness the Republican
State platforms adopted up to date in
this campaign in which that policy is
heartily endorsed and advocated.
