patrician class, they would despise
the day of Republican simplicity,
and long for the empire, in fact.
The only stay to these proceedings
would be a revolution, and with
the modern arms all in the hands
OF the rulers, small chance, indeed,
would there be of overthrowlng
them.
There is large conservative
class, especially in New England
who will vigorously oppose this
imperial policy; the old Puritan
stock do not take kindly to stand
ing armies, Tor their forefathers
suffered too much for their poster
ity to forget the lesson they were
taught so bitterly. II the silver
question was not so entirely the
dominant one in the Democratic
party, there would probably be ac-
cessions from their ranks to the
Democracy, which would partially
offset those who will be attracted
by the glitterng bait offered them
by the Republicans Parties, like
individuals, must do rightlully and
fight manfully, even though defeat
may encompass them, and the
Democracy has ever done so, and
will do again as long as the teach
ings of Jefferson prevail.
A great crisis is at hand in both
parties. a new alignment is prob
able. On one hand will be those
who believe in the Imperial Policy
which will include the wealthy and
the larger portion of the middle-
class who ape and follow them in
politics and social matters On
the other side should be the work
man and the farmer and the con-
servative class who would keep
the ship of state at the old moor
Ings, and the students Of history
who know that the power OF an
Empire is fleeting unless the peo-
pie have tree scope for improve
ment and ambition. Under an
Empire this would never be, every
man would have to serve in the
army Tor a stated term and then be
ready in the reserves for future
service. This would not come at
once, the first step will be the ma
the militia by the gen.
eral government paying the cost
OF equipments and service. AT
least thirty days every year would
be spent in camp at the expense
of the Federal Government. Thus
would a standing army be created
without the knowledge of the peo-
pie. The enlarged navy is a fore
gone conclusion. The Jefferso-
nian Democrat, as faithful expo
nent oil the doctrines OF the party,
does not feel called upon to settle
this question. no single Democrat
can do so, nothing but the great
sanhedrim of the party can author
itatively expound its doctrines, aud
this cannot be done until 1900.
The Democratic members Of Con-
gress must be careful OF their foot
ing, false step might change the
destinies of this great nation.

Painful as the decision has been, our

drawn from our so 600 men of Algeria
three or four regiments, which would
have arrived on our central Soudan
frontiers five or six, or at most, eight or
ten days march fro m the capital OF that

that the pens of British journalists would
then have been dipped in a less bitter

her on any point of the globe, whether

we could resist, because we should have

going to Fashoda, it would equally
false to allege that the expedition was

that. orce started, it was left to its own

Our Demands Upon Spain

The requirements and stipula-
tions of the United States, as de-
clared by our Commissioners at
Paris, amount substantially to this:
/. The cession by Spain OF all
the Philippines, in return tor |hic9
we agree to pay her Sao,ooo,oo
AS Spain does not possess nor
control the islands, the most I'M
portant of which outside OF Manila,
are now in the hands OF the insur
gent natives, she cannot give us
possession. What shS is asked to
concede is her title-in other
words, the right Of conquest with
out Spanish interfere ce. We de-
mand the right to subjugate un-
molested a peope who have tor
years fought for their freedom and
independence, and who declare,
through their leaders, their pur-
pose to continue the struggle
If the cession were granted we
should secure by treaty another
war, not OF freedom but OF subju-
cation.
q. We offer to pay $40, 100000
TO a beaten toe for this worthless
title to islands which it will cost
us 800, 900, 900 to conquer and
$50. ooo, 900 a year to govern. This
stipulation would endanger the
ratification of the treaty.
3. It is the declared purpose Of
the United States to maintain the
Philippines as an "open door" to
the worlds commerce.
This means that we are to have
no commercial advantages above
those of other nations, In other
words, we are 60 enter upon the
work OF subduing and ruling the
Philippines from purely benevolent
motives as a sort of Government
foreign missionary" enterprise,
as Gov. Pingree puts it. We are
to have the same advantages for

which last year we sent $4,000
worth Of goods to the Philippines
out OF our total exports OF over
81 ,2oo, 900, 900. And the Fllipinos
will perhaps be free to come to this
country under contract to labor at
Chinese wages.
To this condition the searching
gu estions of Andrew Carnegie be-
come pertinent:
What will labor in the United states
say to Its recreant President? What
compensation Is it to have' What
justification can be pleaded for paying
twenty millions for The Philippines, and
