country, and Senator Hoar puts the case
so simply but so effectively and convinc-
ingly that the workingmen, at least, should
be nncompromising antagonists of impe-
rialsm.
Another fact which should have weigh
with all classes of people is also brought
out by Senator Hoar. The colonial policy
advocated by the imperalists will be the
| most costly experiment ever attempted by
this country. We shall EMBARK says
Senator Hoar, "on a permanent system of
| nationa! expenditure which viii Put this
nation under an obligation, the equivalent
OF which will be Il national debt greater
than that of any ether nation on the face
| OF the earth. a permanent increase of our
expenditures of $50. 000, 900 year, which
we cannot avoid and from which We can
not withdraw, is precisely the same thing
as adding to our national debt $1,000 ,o0o,-
| JOo, capitalized at three per cent, which is
more than our government snow paying
Such an expenditure, as Mr.. Hoar well
says, would make the national tax gath
erer the most familiar yisitant to every
American home.
Not only viii labor be degraded and the
wages of the workingman diminished, iii
Mr.. Hoar's Judgment, but his burden of
taxation will be increased until, like the
peasant of Europe, he will be born with Il
heavy burden about his neck and will stag
ger with an armed soldier upon his back
| Imperialism is impossible without large
standing army anda great navy. Already
we have bill IN Congress providing for a
| regular army of 100000 men, while the
naval program calls for an expenditure of
many millions of dollars with practically
no limit upon the sum which may be ex-
pended if the United States. as the 1mpe-
| ralists hope, are to realize their ideal Of n
''frstclass naval pow err
| Mr. Hoar is not IA sensationalst. He is
| one of the ablest and most thou htful men
in the Senate-or in the United States, for
i that matter. As he said in his speech
| Monday. he has believed religiously and
from his soul, for half century, in the
great doctrines and principles of the re-
publican party He stood by its cradle,
|
its hearse.' In antagoniZing the policy of
his party, therefore, he has risen superior
| to the consideration which would have
rendered weaker men helpless iu this hour
of national peril. Mr.. Hears long eXper:-
ence IN public life, his great learning and
his ripe judgment make his deliverances
on the subject Of expansion and impeI ial-
ism exceptionally impressive and weighty.
| He believes that this cry for imperialism,
| this spasm of folly and deiusion,' will
surely pass by. Whether it passes by or
not, however, he says he Will have the sat
| isfaction of having done his duty and lad
hered to the great doctrines of righteous
ness and freedom which he learned from
the fathers" 1t is greatly to be deplored
that Senators Of all parties do not take
the same view of the "spasm of folly and
delusion' which has seized upon SO many
men, even those in the highest official sta
