adopted the same policy toward the Phil
ipriness Why should We not have done
soS How could We with any sort OF con-
sisteuoy declare that Cuba was OF right
free and independent and that the Philip
pines were not by right free and indie
pendents How could We consistently
deny the right Ct Independence in the
one case and admit 1t In the other. The
proc lsmstion which has been sen {
into the Philippines was the proclamation
of q conqueror who had apparently made
up his mind to hold what be had con-
quered. BY implication at least the Fill
Pine was told that hsnreforth he was
to be subject OF the United states,
with no political rights and privileges ex-
cept what the United States saw 1T to
grant. Nowhere did il appear in that
document that we regarded ourselves In
any other light than Of their.permanent
owners and sovsreigns The idea OF a
trusteeship. of holding the property tenn
porarily for the benefit Of the Filipinos,
of assisting them to establish self govern
ment. an idea which was 50 prominent in
all our dealings with tho Cutans, has
nowhere appeared in our dealings with
the natives Of Luzon. On the cont rary
such idea has been excluded by a refusal
on the part OF the Senats to pass even a
resolution declaring that when the Fill
pinos were fitted for self government We
intended TO relinquish their country. We
accepted the assistance of the Filipinos in
a war against the Spaniards and put our
selves under a. much obligation to them
as to the Cubans. But when the battle
was over We treated the former as vassals
and the latter rs wards. Not an act done
or word spoken authoritatively by our
government since the protocol was signed
has beer calculated to leave any other i'm
preston on the Filipino mind than that
we were going to take permanent posses
sion of their country and treat them as
our subjects. Though Admiral Dewey is
on record as saying that the natives Of
Luzon were better fitted for self govern
ment than the natives Of Cuba, we hive
held out to them no hope whatever
that either now or at any other time they
would be permitted TO enjoy it.
OF course when the Filipinos attacked
us there was nothing to do but to repel
them by force. We have done that and
have taught them severe lesson. We
may continue to attack them and compel
them by force to submit. But 1t will be
a Iopy and COSTLY iob II our intantion
is to hold their country only until they
are fitted for self government-and it has

TO exhaust all the resources of diplomacy
before we decide to place our whole re-
| lance on the sword.

One of the reason most persistently
given why we should take permanent pos

by religious persons-is that such posses

One OF tho most curious of the phe-
nomena attending the craze for territorial
expansion is the enthusiasm of the Maine
farmers for the stretching out OF our
dominion. They claim that times were
never harder, that taxes already are al
most Undesirable, they resist with numer-
ously signed protests even slight IN

representatives at Augusta do-over n
policy which at the lowest calculation
will add $500, QUO, 900 year to the coun-
try's expenditures thereby necessitating
new taxes some of which certainly they
themselves will have to pay. And what
does the Maine farmer get in returnY Any
new market for his products Certainly

Not at all. Not single thing can be
pointed out which will offset in the least
the additional burdens that will be put
upon him by reason of this expansion
policy. And yet the Maine farmer shouts
for it. The cities. where the farmer
alleges the wealth is large and the taxa
ton low as compared with his, fall far
behind the country in enthusiasm for ex
pansion, and yet the people in the cities
are according to the farmers, far better
