ACQUIRING TERRITORY.

The Question OF What Should DO the
Policy of this Country on tho Acqulsi-
tlon of Territory Discussed From
Legal and Moral Standpoint.

In his address before the Ohio bai
ex'Attorney General Harmon said OF
the question Of territorial acquisition
t'We have made war on q ground 81
unusual that there is scarcely prece
dent. That ground was 80 high anC
30 consistent with our ideas that an
not ready to deny that; under all the
: circumstances, we were justified in
making precedent. But we knew
for various reasons we were liable tc
be suspected Of covetousness lurking
behind our professed motives, and tc
be accused of making pretext rather
than a precedent. The war rosolu-
lions, therefore, which were passed al
most without dissent and approved
without hesitation, were made express
ly TO declare that we did not covet
our neighbours land from which we de-
manded her withdrawal.
"That neighbor, thus made our ene-
my, has scattered over the globe the
remnants of her great possessions, II
was Of course proper to attack her in
any OF these as well as in Cuba. The
victory which Commodore Dewey
promptly won seemed to bring within
our grasp large group of inhabited
Islands, nearly 5000 miles away, and to
show that still others might be had
for the taking.
Forthwith before.we had conquered
n foot of Spanish soil, it was declared
by many for whose statements we are
held in a measure accountable that we
shall keep whatever we take. We must
seize the dominion from which we
thrust Spain. and become the ruler of
numerous and distant peoples Of un-
kindred race and tongue, ,...,....-.---.....-

We are glad to see the conventions
which have been held in many Of the
western states are impressed with the
vast Importance OF keeping the main
issue in which the fate OF hulnanity Is
involved before the people until it ia
settled and rightly settled, The enc
mics OF human progress in the back
parlors of Wall and Lombard streets
will stop Mt nothing TO acquire cons
plete dominion over the great mass of
toiling millions. But they better take
notice that the money question which
they have obscured for centuries by
Substituting the so-oalled economists to
teach falsehood and prevent the diffu-
sion Of knowledge which is absolutely
necessary TO the maintenance of FREQ
institutions will fail In the United
States The spirit Of inquiry in abroad
and silver literature is read and stud
led and the people are beginning to
understand, and they will understand
that 1t is through the lnstrumentality
OF manipulating the volume of money
that they have been made poor while
the cunniug few have been made rich.
The excitement of war may attract al

they will not only investigate but they
