Drynn Yersus History.

In his speech in Indianapolis Mr..
Bryan said that ut is impossible to Sc
cure title to Il people by force or by
purchase" Evidently Mr. Bryan has
not read the history of the United
States with that care that a man should
who discusses topics having a histOr-
ical bearing.
BY purchase in 1903 the United States
secured title to the Louisiana territory
and people of all cOlOrs, paying $15,-
100000. The consent of the people Of
the Louisiana territory was never ask
ed. Thomas Jefferson, president; James
Madison. secretary of state, and James
Monroe and Robert S. Livingston made
the purchase.
By purchase the United States Sc
cured the title to the Florida people Of
all cOlOrs in 1919 at the nominal price
of $5,000,000. The consent of the peo-
pie of Florida was not asked. James
Monroe, president, and John Quincy
Adams, secretary of state, made the
purchase.
By purchase, after a war of con-
quest, the United States secured title
to New Mexico and California, with
all their people, in 1913, for which $1S,-
250,OOO was paid. In this, as in the
preceding cases. the consent of the peo-
pie to be governed was not sought, but
the purchasers knew that most of them
protested, as they did In Louisiana.
The purchase was made by James X.
Polk, president, and James Buchanan,
secretary of state.
By purchase in 1853 the United States
secured title to the white people and
Indians living in what is now southern
Arizona, the price being $1OOO0,OOO.
President Franklin Pierce, who made
the purchase, did not think q asking
the consent of the people over whom
sovereignty was acquired for cash.
By purchase in 1867 the United States,
at price of $7,2O0,OOO paid to Russia,
bought the sovereignty and the terrific
ry of Alaska. The consent Of the Alas
kans was probably not thought of and
would not have been considered if 1t
had been. Andrew Johnson, president,
and William II. Seward, secretary of
state, made the purchase.
Here are one, two, three, four, five
purchases Of territory and sovereignty
made by the United States by Demo
cratic presidents with a single excep-
ton. The territory embraced In sew
eral of these purchases is more exten-
sive than many empires. The people,
of all colOrs and races, not consulted
as to their desires about the transac-
tions must have been 100000 or 3,OOO,-
OOO, while the aggregate amount paid
was $55,45O,OOO. In every case except
Arizona and Alaska the purchased peo-
pie protested. This is history. Yet
Mr.. Bryan declares that cit Is impossi.
BILE to secure title to a people by force
or by purchase. ."-American Farmer.
