about the only American merchant who
is familiar at all with that branch of the
q uestion by experience. says there is nc
no trade of any consequence for us In
those islands. The people need hardly
anything in tie shape of clothing, beyond
a strip of cloth of the coarsest kind, he
says, and ii they di d they HAYS not the
means to buy it. Everybody knows that
the Inhabitants of tropical countries are
very poor customers. AS a rule they
are INDECENT, their wants are few and the
spontaneous productions of the country
are sufficient to supply almost all Of
them. MIR. Andrew Carnegie, who is Of
shrewd an observer as the country con-
tairs, declares that the development OF
one state In the Union Gin peace and
security will outweigh all the increase OF
profit we can get from foreign trade in
any of the remote possessions which
we can atteInpt now to take" Even
could we have all the trade OF these is
lands without expanding dollar ii
would hardly be worth reckoning in the
years balance sheet. But we have got to
share what there is with foreign nations,
unless we shut the door in their faces
with the almost certain result that they
win shut the door in our faces In other

islands an army of 80, 900 men at least,
and very likely more, and q considerable

one. Let them cease talking about

which they know nothing. and inform
the country in what way the annexation

that implies, namely, tho maintenance Of
large army 10000 miles from home, and
large navy, the peouniary burdens Of
which will fall upon the masses, will
promote the general welfare of the people
of this country. When they succeed in

Club at it's monthly meeting today enter
tanned as guests and listened to interest
ng speeches from Hon. Steward l.. Wood
ord, former minister to Spain; Congress-
man Boutelle of Maine, and Rev. J. B..

All three speakers dealt with tine lead

an enlarged colonial policy for the United
States. 4
Congressman Boutelle. while not wish
ing to curb the growth sof the republic,
urged that the fundamental principles of
the declaration of independence and the
constitution should be maintained; and
Rev. Mr.. Hathorne declared himself to
be thoroughly in sympathy with expan-
sion ideas. Hon. A. w. Beard presided
and introduced General Woodford as the
first speaker.
GENERAL WOODFORD'S SPEECH.
After thanking the club for the priv
ilege of Speaking to it's members. Gen.
Woodford reviewed the political history
of the present administration up to the
time when the Cuban question became
acute and said that whatever may be the
difficulties of our present craftsmanship
and the problems Of the future, it Is at
least certain that the President and the
Republican party have kept faith With
the people of the country. Gen. Wood
ford spoke of his appointment as minis
ter to Madrid and of the instructions
which he received to avert war If posi-
BILE. He sketched briefly the stormy
events which led up to the declaration
aowar and his leaving his post. Said he:
"The war came. Its name ana Its
memories will finger long, but that war
confronts us with serious and grave du'
ties and RESPONSE bilities. Porto Rico Is
ours by right of conquest. Cuba is held
under the trust of the pledge that the re.
public gave when we entered the war. but
I frankly confess that l DO not believe
that the Inhabitants of Cuba are qualified
to administer a government and am
constrained to the personal belief that Il
will be necessary to maintain the Ameri'
can occupation until such time as Amerl'

The Democrats are simply trying to
sneak majority Of their party into Con.
gress. Not an issue nor question which
Congress really has to settle are they dis
cussing. They are keeping dark as to the
currency, and all other pending questions,
and relying entirely upon the yarns OF
yellow journals in regard to the treat
ment of the soldiers to prejudice the
voters against Republican candidates.
Unfortunately for their plan of campaign
the generals of their own party who have
been on the witness stand have without
exception denied the allegations upon
which they rely.

CONGRESSMAN BoUTELLE AND OUR
NEW TERRITORY.

In his admirable speech in Boston Sat
urday, Congressman Boutelle, referring
to the question of the disposition to be
made of the territory we have conquered,
said:
stLet rs look at the question in the
good, old fashioned New England way and
see what is best for the future of the mil
lions OF the American republic. l do not
believe that because our flag flies in Porto
Rico that it carries an obligation upon us
to assume the responsibility for its gov
eminent, If we conclude that it is not..fOr
our interest to do SO. While this country
may be helpful to other people, l still
believe that the most sacred of all our
trusts is the conserving of the liberties,
welfare and future of the American peo-
pie. While ! would not curba or oonfine
our republic SO as to prevent its develop
ment, i am not just ready to believe that
the fundamental principles of the Declar-
alton of independence have become OBJ
selete, or that we have reached the time
yet to repeal any portion of the Constitu-
tion."
A wiser or more statesmanlike utter.
ance has not fallen from the lips of any
public man since discussion began as to
the disposition to bo MADE of the terri
tory occupied by US in the course of the
war with Spain. MIR. Boutelle looks at
the question from the correct standpoint
Not the interests of the Tagais and the
Bisayans and the other Malay tribes that
inhabit the Philippines, but the interests
of the American people should determine
the American policy. Our constitution
was formed and our government created to
promote the general welfare of the Ameri-
can people, and to divert them from that
purpose, to give the preference in the
determination of our policies to any othe
people is to pervert them. "To promote tn
Mr. Boutelle well says, "the most sacred of
all our trusts.
VIII the welfare of the American people
be promoted by annexing 1900 islands in
hsblted by 10000, 0O9 people, most of them
Malay barbarians? That is the crucial
question. and unless it can be answered
in the affirmative, we ought not to annex
them. The promotion of missionary en-
terprises, however worthy they may be, is
not proper function Of our government.
10 raise an army and build navy to en-
sure the blessings of liberty to the Tagals
and other Malay tribes in the Philippines,
even if 1t were absolutely certain that
liberty could be conferred in that way, is
net within the scope of the powers
granted by our Constitution to the gov
eminent. The government has no right
to lay taxes on the people for any such
purpose.
AS we have said the crucial question is,
Will the annexation of the Philippines
with their 1000. 600 of semi-savage popu.
lation promote the welfare of the Ameri
can people? If it will, somebody ought
to point out the way in which it will do
1t. Nobody can pretend that we need
the Philippine islands for our defence.
That claim was made in regard to
Hawaii, and though 1t was far from
proved, plausible case was made out in
its favor. But no sort of case can be
made out as regards the Philippines. Will
