If we look back at the conquests of a
few centuries ago, when frequent tidings
of new continents and boundless wealth
fired the souls .of adventurous men, the
skirts of no nation will be found entirely
free from innocent blood. But gentler
times have brought gentler methods, and
the value of having populous colonies in
stead of ravaged miles to rule over is found
to be ultimately of the greatest advantage
to the home country. This is only an
other evidence that the world progresses.
But while the scales Of inhumanity have
fallen from the eyes of England and other
nations that attempt to vie with her in
colonizing policies, Spain is as blind and
cruel as in the days of Pizarro in Peru,
and Cortez in Mexico. With an absolute
lust for wealth the new territories were
then regarded as fair prey to be merci-
lessly stripped of everything valuable and
portable. The spirit of.the men who carved
her vast empire out of the new world has
remained unchanged through; the CEN
turtles. Whatever colonial positions were
open have been filled by Spanish mobility;
in many cases without regard to fitness of
the person or the advantage of the colony.
Indirect gain from the development of a
colony has never been regarded with such
favor as the direct results to be attained
by squeezing out taxes and farming out
lucrative offices. In progressive age,
this is simply a mad spirit of self destruc-
ton. The inevitable has been the loss, one
by one, of the very jewels of her diadem of
empire, until now out of a territory once
unequaled either in natural wealth or in
extent, there remain the very minor pos
sessions of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ppine Islands.
