TlLLMAN IN RHODE ISLAND
Talks on Our Foreign Policy, the
Negro Question and Free
Silver,

Providence, r. l., Sept 4-The
second meeting of the New Eng
land Bi-M0tolIic League at Cres-
cent Park this afternoon was very
largely attended and representa-
tive members from all the States
occupied the rostrum. Rcsolu
tions declaring for free silver
against miIitarIsm and urging the
nomination of w. j. Bryan for
President were unanimously adnp.
ted. Senator Benz min II Tillman
of South Carolina, was then intro
duccd and his ad lrcss was pune.
tuated with cheers throughout. -
He stated that the Spanish war
was worth all it cost, if it has pro-
ven nothing else than that the
South will fight for the Stars and
Stripes as eagerly as Will the
North. He declared that unless
the policy of the government is
changed soon the Republic is
doomed and will become gov
ernmcnt of oppression of the many
BY the few. He praised New En-,
gland for what it had done for the
country but called attention to the
fact that there were people enough
south and west of the Potomac
and the Missippi to elect a presi-
dent without the aid of New En-
gland.
He said that while he believed,
and always would, that the Negro
is not the equal of the white man,
still he believed in giving him his
legal rights, barring the political
side. He said the negroes did not
know enough to vote and in South
Carolina the white people had
succeeded in DISTINGUISHING them
until they can read and write.
Mr. Tillman asked
"If it was right to free Cuba
because Spain was shooting Gu
bans to death, how is it to he re-
concilcd with the fact that the L.
). which now owned the Philip
pines shoot the Filiplnos to death.
He said that he believed the
president was honest in his belief
that he is doing his duty, but
claimed that he only looked at the
one fact that the United States
bought the islands from Spain.
He asked where the honor was in
the Philippine war. The South
and South Carolina will ut anv
time send rs many men in pro-
portion to its population as any
State TO war of decencv and
honor, but it will not send a req
imcnt to the Philippines.

At Least That is Senator Carter's s
Optimistic Opinion -- Cam
paign on the Expansion
Policy.

opinion of Senator Carter of Mon
tana, that the war in the Philips
pines will end by the first of next
January.
"And then," said the senator,
"we will have to meet the prob
lem of the future disposition of
the islands. l realize that we
cannot appeal to the people to
stand by our soldiers fighting for
the flag as a matter of patriotism.
The fighting will have ended and
it will be simply an abstract ques-
tion for the people to answer"
"How will the Republican par
ty present the question ~
"By insisting that the retention
of the Philippines is matter of
business profit. This is n practi-
cal age. We are going to deal
with this question on the basis Cf
dollars and cents. If the Ameri.
can people believe that the Philips
pines are going to help us, they
will never let the islands 90. If,
on the other hand, they find that
the Philippines mean a constant
drain and small return, you will
find the verdict of the people to
be against permanent retention.
Il believe that possession of the
islands means great stimulus to
the trade. especially for the Pa
citic coast. Oregon wheat now
goes to Liverpool around Cape
Horn. If it goes to Manila or
Hong Kong, SO much the better
for the wheat grower. Half the
population of the globe lives in
the circle of two thousand miles
around Luzon. | believe that we
are going to develop this great
field under exceptional advantages
Neither religion nor sentiment
will haye much influence in deter
mining the verdict. The great
question will be, will it pay ?! If
we can show the country that it
will, as / think we can, the Amer>
lean flag will never come down
from the Philippines"
"What sort of government
should be devised -
'Three suggestions would un-
doubtedly be made. The first
will be to abandon the islands en-.
tirely to the natives. | do not
believe this will meet the approx
al of the American people. The
second will be to seize the islands
In firm grasp, assuring the peo.
pie that we mean to give them a
better government than they could
enjoy under any other flag or
could create for themselves, but
that we are the masters and pro
pose to remain so. Then the third
proposition will be to throw a
loose string around the people,
holding their seaports and custom
houses with our navy, but allow-
ing them ABSOLUTE freedom in
their internal affairs. This free~
dom, in my judgment, would soon
become anarchy, and we would
have to rule anyway 50 / should
say that the second proposition is
the one that ought to be adopted.
The firmer we are in our admin.
istration, the more respect those
people will have for us.
.As TO the form of govern
ment," continued Senator Carter,

ought to be appointed by the
