THE PHILIPPINES QUESTION

Spain will probably give her final
answer to the demands Of the United
States regarding the Philippines Mon
day. There is nothing but conjecture
at present regarding what this answer
may be, although the preponderance OF
opinion is that Spain will refuse the
offer of $20,000,000 for the archipelago.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
negotiations, it is not apparent why
the United States should offer Spain
$40 COO, 900 or anything at all for the
Philippines, which Spain neither pos
sesses nor controls. Since we are to
demand no indemnity for anything
from Spain, why should we indemnify
Spain for anything, especially for is
lands which no longer belong to Spain
because we have wrested them from her
by force of arms?
1t is unquestionably the sober judg-
ment of majority Of the people-the
real rulers-of the United States that
we do not want the Philippines with
their barbarous hordes, but if the I'D
ministration is determined to take
them in obedience to the stock job
bling interests of Wall street, why pay
a vast sum for them? Why pay $780,,
100000 for the dangerous privilege
already ours-of subduing a savage
population of millions who can never
in this world become American citi
zens in the true sense, whose annexa
ton would not only embroil us will
the affairs Of the old world and compe
US to adopt the militarism of Europe
with 1t deadly burdens, but heap end
less troubles upon our heads at hom
through changes in our government
which would then cease to derive 1T
just rights from the consent OF tn
governed, and, through enormous IN
crease in taxation, although the abilit'

porary of Fourteenth street thinks the

view of Thanksgiving, in spite OF NC

THE PRESIDENTS MESS AGE.

We are told the Presidents annual
message to Congress next month will
be the longest document of the kind on
record.
This will probably be an unneces-
sary infliction. While the recent war
will furnish a new topic which the
President may be expected to deal with
exhaustively, surely he ought to be
able to state the case and make his
recommendations in less than $4,000 or
$4,000 words.
1t is unnecessary to compel people to
wade through a score or so of columns
of routine departmental stuff to get at
the meat of the Presidents recommen-
dations.
Even Congress itself will not listen

to the unusual routine mass Of stun
that makes up the major portion Of
these reports, but will doze in its seats
or fec to the restaurant and cloak
rooms to escape the dreary recital.
In this connection the innovation
adopted by Mr.. McKinley's immediate
predecessor was very marked i'm
provement. AS far as possible, Mr..
Cleveland allowed the department re-
ports to speak for themselves, thus
keeping his messages free from great
deal of undressing and unimportant
lumber and consequently having them
read by thousands who otherwise would
have given up the task or gone to sleep
over it.

/ The commission appointed to recon-
mend form Of government for Hawaii
will have its report ready for trans
mission soon after Congress convenes
! Among the important features of the
enabling act will be the prohibition OF
imported contract labor and denial OF
right Of franchise to Chinese and Jap
anese.
| AS to prohibiting the importation of
contract labor, that may properly b.
incorporated into the scheme of gov
eminent of Hawaii, but we know how
the same law works in this country
that is, not at all. Moreover, there is
not and cannot be any provision for
| keeping the slave labor of Hawaii out
of the United States, which is the prin-
cipal point OF interest for American
labor.
AS to the denial of right of franchise
to Chinese and Japanese, that would
only be half a remedy and merely in
some cases postpone the evil day, for
the Supreme Court has decided that
child born of Chinese Or Japanese par
ents within the territory Of the UnjtHH
States becomes citizen of the United
States with all the rights and priyi
legas appertaining thereto
At best it is difficult to see what we
get out of annexation, while it throws
American labor /into open com
pc ,ition with the coolies and
slaves of lEose islands, which is
pleasant prospect especially for the
sugf%'f4anters of this country.
/ahis whole business is prime illus
Grafton of how small figure "protec-
ton to American labor" cuts with the
powers that be when no corporate or
trust interests are also to be pro-
tected or as in this case, where the
trust chiefly concerned is on the side
of unrestricted intercourse and compe-
tition
The chief beneficiary of Hawaiian
annexation is the Sugar Trust. That
concern has been enabled to secure the
entire sugar crop of Hawaii at re-
duced rate and is thereby enabled TO
beat down it's competitors and to con-
troll the industry in this country abso-
lutely for some time to como at least.
The annexation Of HAWAII permits
the Sugar Trust to reap additional I'M
earned profits and obtain firmer grip
than ever upon the sugar refining in
dustry of the United States. And it
does this at the expense of American
labor which is brought into direct COM
pet ION with coolie and slave labor,
andVof American citizenship, which it
degrades by the infusion into our
social system of these undesirable
hordes, whom we can never assimilate.
