settled finally ct Appomatox Teller
| discussed briefly the statement Of Vest
that many Of the DEEDS of cession OF

States contained clauses providing that
the territory ultimately Should be erect

do So
Teller thought it duty of our people
and legislators to keep in mind con-
stantly the sreat principle upon which
this government is founded-that the
just powers of = government are de-
rived from the consent OF the governed
We ought" said he, ITO extend TO the
people of these possessions the power to
govern themselves as soon as they are
prepared to exercise that power
If this government will say to the peo-
pie OF this acquired territory" said Tel
Ter. I'VE give you self-government,' We
will not need an army of so 0CO men in
Cuba, 10000 in Porto Rico and 80 OOO in
the Philippines. To say this to those
people is the only way to escape a great
standing army
He believed 1t folly to talk OF 'imper-
ialism'' applied to this country. No
man or set of ,nen had any intention of
establishing i'll this country the Eu-
would champion such a course.
There is no favor we can confer upon
the Filipinos like that OF giving them
the benefits of protection of the Ameri-
can flag TIE great question is Are We

not go to war with the people of the
Philippines in order to force our insti-
tutions upon them. He would consult
them as to the form OF. government and
he believed that by pursuing this course
we should avoid the necessity of war
with the natives.
Teller expressed the iopinion that the
natives could not be governed from
Washington Theyswere susceptible to
just and liberal treatment. and there
was no reason why, if they We're cap
able of appreciating them. our benefi-
cent institutions should not be extended
to them. He would give them all the
liberty in this respect that they were
capable of enjoying and if in time they
manifested capacity to! perform the du-
ties of statehood he would not be among
those who would denyi them that boon.
