 public or Empire"

Chicago, April 8.-William J. Bryan is to publish a book entitled, Republic or Elm pire-The Philippine Question" in which he discusses territorial expansion from eevry standpoint, his argument being supplement- ed by chapters dealing with the various phases of the subject by Andrew Carnegie, George F. Hoar, John w. Daniel, Henry M. Teller and other statesmen and scholars.
 As to imperialism, MT. Bryan says:
 Imperialism finds it's inspiration in dol- lars, not in duty. It is not our duty to burden our people with increased taxes in order to give a few speculators oppor- tunity for exploitation; it is not our duty to sacrifice the best blood of our nation in trop.cal jungles in an attempt to stifie the very sentiments which have gwen vitality to American institutions; it Is not our duty to deny to the people of the Philip pines the rights for which our forefathers fought from Bunker Hill to Yorktown.
 "Imperlalism has been described as The White Mans Burden But since it crushes the wealthy producer beneath an increas- ing weight of taxes, it might with more propriety be called The Poor Mans Load
 As in Cuba'S Case
 'If the peace commissioners had de- manded a harbor and coaling station in the Philippines and had required Spain to sur render the rest of the land to the Filipinos as she surrendered Cuba to the Cubans, we would not now be considering how to let go of the islands. If the sum of twenty millions had been necessary to secure Spain's release, the payment of the amount by the Filpinos might have been guaran- teed by the United States
 MT. Bryan also says that "the purpose of annexation is to apply to the government of the Philippines methods familiar to the people of Europe and Asia, but new in the United States. This departure from tradi- tions was not authorized by the people; whether it will be ratified by them remains to be seen. The responsibility rests first upon congress and afterward upon the power which makes congresses. Whatever may be the wish of individuals or the in- terests of parties we may rest assured that the final disposition of the Philippine ques- tion will conform to the deliberate judg- ment of the voters. They constitute the court of last resort, from whose decision there is no appeal"
 MT. Carnegie thinks India is the curse of Britain and the Philippines will be the curse of the United States. If you teach suppressed people at all you make them rebels. Education is fatal to the govern hhSil ol d SuperlOf race. The Declafallon of Independence will make every ambi- ss 2.
