UNCLE SAM AND EARTH GRABBING

We are told by the smooth Republi-
can tricksters at Washington that the
administration does not propose to start
on a campaign of territorial aggrandize-
ment, that all it is thinking of doing
is esta blishing naval bases and ports
in certain islands that have been cap
tured. The items, represented as hav-
ing been primarily suggested by the
President in person and subsequently
approved by leading Republicans in the
Senate, are as follows: Cuba must be
delivered to the United States in trust
until a stable government can be estab-
lshed there by its inhabitants, or some
other disposition of Cuba must be ac-
cepted which will insure its ultimate
independence. Porto Rico must be
coded absolutely to the United States.
The United States must retain naval
base and port in the Philippines. The
United States must have naval base
in the Ladrone islands and one in the
Caroline islands These conditions, it
is asserted, are the least which the adj
ministration will accept, and they are
the least which the Senate will con-
sent to have embodied in treaty which
must come to the Senate for ratification
# war continues it may become neces-
sary to make larger demands upon
Spain as the price of peace.
1t is in the latter saving clause that
the loophole for the imperialists is
found and it leaves the door wide open
for them to extend their earth grabbing
schemes as far as the rest Of the world
will permit. If this extension were lin

AT GUANTANAMO.

The Cuban insurgents are now Co
operating with the American marines
from SIMPSONS fleet at Guantanamo.
The unreadiness Of the army 70 CO.

another instance Of wretchedly loose
management which, in this case, has
resulted in the sacrifice of four brave
mems lives. probably needlessly. for it
is not likely the Spaniards would have
dared to attack sufficient landing
force. The small number of marines
Admiral Sampson was able to spare was
scarcely sufficient for the purpose al
though the brave boys behaved like
heroes and managed to repulse the
Spaniards with heavy losses and have
since maintained the Stars and Stripes
there and added to their glory.
With the aid of the Cubans, however
this gallant little American force will be
able to hold the landing place it has eff
fected for the tardy army against any
force the Spanish can send against
them.

MUST RECKON WITH AGUINALDo

Spain sends the request by way OF
Germany that the United States occupy
Manila rather than give it up to the
insurgents under Aguinaldo. We don't
know what Dewey may do in the prem
Uses, but we believe that he and Aguin-
aldo are acting in concert and that it is,
also, the desire of the insurgent gen
eral that the United States establish a
protectorate for the time being over the
Philippines until a native republic may
be established. So for once Spain and
her rebel are pulling together, although
not toward the same end.
1t is not at all likely that Aguinaldo
would tamely submit to the reign of
airy foreign power. even the United
States, after throwing off the yoke of
Spain. And Aguinaldo standing at the
head of 100000 natives is no mean
person to deal with He holds that the
Philippines must be as free as Cuba,
and doubtless he stands prepared to
carry revolt against the U0lteu oldleS
if they should seize those islands with
view to holding them permanently as
a colony. The administration at Wash
ington may propose a conquest Of the
Philippines; we may drive the Span
iards out and attempt TO subdue the
natives; but while it would be a rela-
lively easy matter to control the eligible
sea ports, this mighty mass of natives
now thoroughly imbued with ideas of
freedom would be as dangerous a foe
to the United States as to Spain. More
over, such conquest by this liberty
loving country would be a monstrous
anomaly not to be thought of.
If we are to assure freedom to Cuba
we cannot consistently assure less to
the Philippines. Cuba is to be re-
public The Philippines desire to be a
republic If we stretch the hand Of free
dom and aid to Gomez and Garcia, how
can we withhold it from Aguinaldo, or
substitute the mailed hand of the con-
queror?

tied to the establishment of naval
ping in these islands, no one would OBJ
ject to the plan. But although the i'm
perialist party now protest that that is
all the farther they propose to go, it is
safe to say that when once the policy
of branching out in naval and military
way goes beyond the limits set in the
Monroe Doctrine as sacred from Euro
pean touch, there will be no bounds to
the appetite of the earth grabbers. Cor
that is the sort of appetite that grows
upon what it feeds.
AS usual, behind this, as behind all
such schemes, there is powerful lob
by of rich spectators who have pow
erful influence with the administration
and are keenly alive to the chances for
money-making that might result from
the hosting of the American flag over
the island possessions of Spain. Our
system of taxation the substitution of
import duties for export taxes, with
free entry into American markets, :
says Washington correspondent,
would materially increase the value of
many of these tropical products, and
hence of the land upon which they
grow. Transportation companies will
also have something to say regarding
these proposed changes. The absorp-
ton into our system OF the Spanish ISL
ands would naturally increase enor-
mously the volume of traffic between
them and our ports, and on every hand
lie Klondike opportunities for certain
individuals in case we go into the an
neXing business. OF course this does
not mean that the general public is tC

country as a whole will get back a new
dollar for an old one; but as there is
certain amount of salvage for som1-
body from shipwreck, SO great

how to get on the right side of the
deal"
Meanwhile, Washington is full of
lobbyists representing speculative in
terests in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Phil
ippines and Hawaii, who are working
on Congress to bring about Whole
sale system Of annexation. Already
these lobbyists have made such good
progress that the House. urged on by
the war feeling, yesterday pass
ed the Hawaiian annexation resolution
by large majority. 1t will not have
such easy Shedding in the Sen
ate, but we are now informed
President Mckinley has been embold-
ened to entertain the project of annex
ing Hawaii himself and raising the
flag on the islands without waiting for
the Senate to act. AS the Presi-
dent has the power to do this and is
as soft as clay in the hands of money
ed lobby, we may yet see the pet scheme
of one of the gangs of sugar spectators
carried out.

THE ELECTIONS IN GERMANY

The outcome of the general election
which will occur in Germany to-day
is Of interest to the United States
since it will have a bearing on the
trade policy of the country relating to
American products. The agrarian
party in Germany, or the party of the
landowners, is conservative and advo-
Gates laws which will exclude foreign
products coming into competition with
German products of the soil.
The members of the agrarian party
Of Germany are the great mobiles who
live on their immense estates and
whose revenues come from agriculture.
Bismark, as a great landholder, was
a leader of the agrarian party during
his years of political activity. The
agrarians demand protective laws for
their lands and crops.
1t is probable that the Emperor SYM
pathizes more or less intensely with
the agrarian party. The imperial es-
tates yield greater or smaller revenues
as their products bring a higher or
lower price, according to the pressure
of foreign competition. All the edcts
of the German government excluding
American meats, animals and fruits are
issued under the influence of the agrar-
ian leaders. whose farm profits are di-
minished by the appearance of Amer
lean products in the markets, which are
of better quality than German products
and sold at lower price.
The agrarians have made every eff
fort to win to-morrow's elections for
members of the Reichstag The Social
lists are numerous because the agrarians
are strong and oppressive and agrarian
exclusion of foreign grains and meats
cause high prices for these necessaries.
