to be thought of, but he has such a
happy faculty of pointing his words in
one direction and his actions in another
and has so beclouded his policy with
such phrases as ''destiny guided by
duty" as to confuse the minds of the
people as to what is his real purpose.
What does he mean by "%destiny" and
what by duty? Can destiny be guided
by duty? Will destiny compel him to
hold the islands as conquered provinces?
Or will duty induce him to maintain the
constitution as construed by the uniform
practice of the government?
Cab and Guns.
While we listen to these declarations
of the president and senate, the sound
of cannon r~everberates 10, 900 miles
across the Pacific ocean, and proclaims
that the people of those islands are
rebels, and that by thousands our army
is Strengthening men who claim to be
fighting for a government of their w
choice.
Posterity Determines.
The judgment of posterity has decided
that the people of New England were
right but mistaken in their fears as to
the effect of the Louisiana purchase.
The judgment of posterity will also de-
eide that Grover Cleveland and George
F. Hoar and Andrew Carnegie were
right in their fears as to the effect of the
late treaty with Spain. Let us pray that
their fears shall be equally groundless.
There is a growing s~entiment-not a
home production, but a foreign importa-
tion-that we must act the vulgar role
of a oonqnering nation. If this be the
end, then Thomas Jefferson in the declar-
alton, and George Washington by his
farewell address, and our heroic ancest-
ors by their deeds, have appealed to pos
terity in vain. What do you, their de-
scendants, say? What will the free
born and liberty-loving people of the
United States say? With them the de-
cision will finally rest. Will they cast
down the ladder by which they have
lifted themselves to supernal heights?

sion into the Union. What is notable in
this case, was, that our government did
not wait until Mexico had acknowledged
the independence of Texas, but with
this principle as the excuse, accepted a
war with Mexico to vindicate the right
of self-government. After the war with
Mexico was concluded, and after that
country, under the Guadalupe Hidalgo
and Gadsden treaties, had coded Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico to this
country, the same policy was pursued.
The rights, interests and customs of the
few scattered people were protected
until they could form governments of
their own and apply for admission as
states. One of them is now one of the
most populous states in the Union the
other two have framed governments
and applied for admission, but have not
yet been received into the Union. We
cannot forget that in beginning the war
just closed with Spain, the congress of
the United States declared to the world,
that the war was not for conquest, but
to vindicate the right of the people of
Cuba to that self-government for which
they had contended during so many
years.
Justice.
Thus it is seen that throughout our his
tory, our flag has consistently represented
thot oil ;oct pouor,non+ rocfc ,,rop %bo
consent of the governed, and that ma
tural and healthy expansion does not
mean Imperialism. Yet doubt and fear
again fill the minds of u people. The
accidents of war have to some extent
placed in our control the destinies of
10000, 900 people in territories more
thickly settled than our own country and
organized into societies possessing a re-
ligion and institutions in the main
adapted to their condition and wishes.
A Solemn Declaration.
When the treaty of peace was ratified,
the senate declared, "That by the ratif-
cation Of the treaty Of peace wih Spain,
1t IS not intended to incorporate the inhab-
itants of the Philippine islands into the
citizenship Of the United States, nor IS 1t
intended to permanently anner said
islands as an integral part Of the territory
of the United States; bat 1t Is the intention
of The United States to establish on said
islands a government suitable to the wants
and conditions of the inhabitants Of said
islands, to prepare them for local self
government, and in due time to make such
disposition Of said islands as WU best
promote the interests of the citizens Of the
United States and the inhabitants of said
islands,"
In concise language, does mo- this gilt
tering declaration mean that we are to
hold those islands as CONQUERED pro-
The Conservative, 1899-05-18

our cherished rights and liberties are
subject to the rights and liberties of our
fellows and to the burdens imposed by
society. The principle of consent, the
result of the evolution and experience of
the ages controlled by laws that rams
cend human power does not mean mob
law. 1t does not preclude war, because
war is sometimes necessary for it's de.
fence. AS it p%resupposes the existence
of society, it cannot apply to wander
ing tribes which nave no homes except
where they sleep at night and possess no
social organization. 1t is like the pre-
cepts of the Master in the New Tesla
ment-precepts impossible to fulfill in
their perfection, but which constantly
lift us up to loftier heights until we are
lost in all the Astounding love of the Divine
Father. So the doctrine of consent is
un ideal, an aspiration, which, while it
may be the controlling motive of our
lives and is always a~ntagonistic to the
spirit of conquest, is continually modi-
fed by the conditions which surround
us. Yet whatever these conditions may
be. Sic itur dd dstrd.
1t was natural that the people Of New
England should be most hostile to the
Louisiana purchase. They comprised
the most thrifty, industrious and
wealthy portion of the country. They
had no direct interest in the purchase.
while their proportion of the burden in
volved in the purchase would be greater
than that of any other section. In their
history and in the form of their organ
iZations they were more intensely demo-
cratic than the other states. A greater
intelligence ditfused among the people
who with intense devotion had fought for
the principle, magnified its Importance
above all other ideals. Their fears
were justified by new departure which
might lead to such fearful consequences
upon their future condition.
But as the treaty was actually admin
istered these doubts and fears were dissi-
pated as the mists before the sun. The
laws and institutions of the people of
Louisiana were recognized and re-
spected, and the superior jurisdiction of
the general government was used only
to protect those laws and institutions.
Not a protest was heard and the people
received with joy a change which as
sured them the free exercise of their
rights and a future happy prosperity.
The doctrines then established for the
control and occupation of the common
territory have been followed to this day,
until their people can organize society,
and under their w laws, take their
places as equal members of a great re-
public. In 1919 Florida was purchased

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

|N'I w o1NhN w l. Il OAN MANNED
New York. Nov 2S.-The market for
cotton futures made a steady start
with prices to points higher, but
soon lost the gain and for the rest of
the day variations were restricted, to
narrow limits with the market finally
steady IN tone with quotation net s
points higher to two lower, latter on
next crop months only. The Liverpool
news was disappointing and many trad
crs disposed of considerable portion
Of their staple. Commission houses in
particular were sellers. Feeble efforts
were made by the bear crowd soon af-
ter the opening to dislodge supposedly
weak long stuff, but comparatively lit
tie Roadway was made; the attcmpt
was subsequently abandoned ana attcn-
ton given TO covering preparatory to
Thursdays holiday. An advance OF 5
to 3la points in futures and 1-32d. in
spot cotton on the other side was said
by reliable private cables TO have fol-
lowed the announcement that Bryson,
Cooper &c Co. had failed.
Prospects Of continued light receipts
in the cotton belt We're reported TO
have added to the advance OF shorts
abroad. The local trade was influenced
by the struggling way in which cot
ton was coming into sight. Press and
private dispatches from spot cotton
centcrs reported higher prices.
