CONSENT OF TINE GOVERNED.

| The anti-expansionists keep up their
tax about 1.-THE consent OF the governed
and Senator Bacon has put into his res

Philippines the assertion that ''m the
great declaration that governments de-

Ii would be waste of time now to pay
any attention to the theory. which even
an elementary knowledge of the history
Of the United States is sufficient to dis
prove, that the consent of the inhab.-

states wishes to annex, must first be OBJ
tanned. 1t would also be waste Of time
TO repeat that the consent Of the gov

consent of all the governed. All this has
been gone over again and again, In Con-
