Col. w. J. Bryan will make a mis-
take il he puts very much emphasis on
his anti-expapsion ideas. The acquisi-
ton Of the PHILIPPINES was one OF the in
evitable results Of the war for humanity.
Since Deweys guns sank the Spanish
fleet at Manila there has been no time
that the United States could let go its
hold on this portion OF Spain's colonial
empire. The question is not: Shall we
hold the PHILIPPINES? We have them and
cannot let go with any degree Of consis-
tency. The responsibility for their bet
ter government has been thrust upon the
United States and it would be rank
cowardice to abandon the great task given
MS. The only question now pertinent is:
HOW shall the Philippines be governed,
for they MUST be controlled by Uncle
Sam. They must be given n government
in harmony with the spirit OF the great
republic. Let Col. Bryan make free
silver tho dominant issue and by the
time he takes the Presidency in 1901 the
policy OF the United States in relation to
our new possessions will be 30 clearly
outlined as to make it plain sailing for
the new executive. But il he become n
radical anti-expansionist his chances for
his succeeding President Mckinley will
be very slim.
