WIN SIN'- uhe purpose of aiding
Tue struggling patriots of Cuba, the
eVuhtry, without regard to party, ap-
plauded. Although the Democrats rec
oShlZed that the administration would
necessarily gain a political advantage
from the conduct of war which, in
ia every nature of the case. must soon
end IN a complete victory, they Wed
with the Republicans in the support
which they gave to the president.
W men the war was over and the Re-
publican leaders began to suggest the
propriety of a colonial policy opposi-
tion at once manifested itself. When
the president finally laid before the
senate treaty which recognized the
independence of Cuba but provided for
tne cesSion of the Philippine islands
10 the United States, the menace of i'm
Perldiism became so apparent that
many preferred to reject the treaty
ana FISK the ills that might follow rath-
er tnan take the chance of correcting
the errors Of the treaty by the indie
pendent action of this country.
L was among the number of those
VINO believed it better to ratify the
treaty and end the war, release the vol
unteerS remove the excuse for war eX-
penditureS, and then give to the Phil
lppineS tie independence which might
pe forced from Spain by new treaty.
In view of the criticism which my ac-
non aroused in some quarters I take
thls occasion to reState the reasons
gwen at that time. | thought 1t safer
TO trust the American people to give
independence to the Filipinns than to
trust the accomplishment of that pur-
pose to diplomacy with an unfriendly
nation. Lincoln embodied an argument
IN the question when he asked: "Can
aliens make treaties easier than friends
can make lawST' | believe that we are
now in better position to wage a sue
cesSful contest against imperialism
than we would have been had the
treaty been rejected. With the treaty
ratified, Il clean cut issue is presented
between a government by consent and
a government by force. and imperial
lists must bear the responsibility for all
that happens until the question is set
tied. If the treaty had been rejected
the opponents of Imperialism would
have been held responsible for any in
ternational complications which might
lave arisen before the ratification of
another treaty.
But whatever difference of opinion
may have existed as to the hest meth
cd of opposing the colonial policy there
never was any difference as to the
great importance of the question, and
there is no difference now as to the
course to be pursued. The title of
Spain being eXtinguished we were at
Ehnrsty tn 1oo1 with "a EiIininnc
cording to American principles. The
Bacon resolution. introduced month
before hostilities broke out at Manila.
promised Independence to the Filipinos
on the same terms that twas promised
to the Cuhans. I supported this reso-
luton and believe that its adoption
prior to the breaking out of hostiIities
would have prevented bloodshed, and
that its adoption at any subsequent
time would have ended hostilities.

Great Speech by a Great Man.

In speaking of Bryan's speech
recently, Chairman Murray Van
diver said that it was great
speech by a great man and would
win hundreds of votes in Mary
land and other Eastern States.
Even among Republicans the
speech was acknowledged to be
able and mastery.
Mr.. Vandiver said that the re-
sponses to the appeal issued by
him on Monday had far exceeded
his expectations, and that the or
ganization is losing no time in
getting down to the work of the
campaign.

THE ARGUMENT OF OBLIGATION.
Also the Contention That Filipinos Cannot
Govern Themselves

| NONcIh AhtlhStlNeS.
If it is said that we have assumed
before the world obligations which
make it necessary for us to perma
nently maintain government in the
Philippine islands. | reply, first, that
the highest obligation of this nation
is to be true TO itself. No obligation to
any particular nation, or to all nations
combined, can require the abandon.
ment of our theory of government and
the substitution of doctrines against
which our whole ma tional life has been
protest. And, second, that our obli.
cations to the FilipinoS who inhabit
the islands are greater than any obli-
CATION which we can owe to foreigners
who have temporary residence in the
Philippines or desire to trade there
1t is argued by some that the Fill
pinos are incapable of self-government
and that therefore we owe it to the
world to take control of them. Ad-
miral Dewey, in an official report to
the navy department, declared the Fill
pinos more capable of self government
| than the Cubans. and said that he based
his opinion upon knowledge of both
races. But | will not rest the case upon
the relative advancement of the Fill
pinos Henry Clay. in defending the
rights of the people or South America
to self government, said: 1T is the
doctrine of thrones that man is too ig-
norant TO govern himself" Il
contend that it is to arraign the dispO-
sition of Providence Himself to sun
pose that He has created beings inca
pable of governing themselves. and to
be trampled on by kings. Self-govern-
ment is the natural government os
men,"
Clay was right. Once ad-
NIT that some people are capable of
Self-government and that others are
not, and that the capable people have
a right to seize upon and govern the
incapable. and you make force-brute
force-the only foundation of govern
ment and invite the reign of the despot.
Republicans ask: Shall we haul
down the flag that floats over our dead
in the Philippinesw The same uues-
ton might have been asked when the
American flag floated over Chapulte-
pee and waved over the dead who fell
there; but the tourist who visits the
City of Mexico finds there n national
cemetery owned by the United States
and cared for by an American citizen.
Our flag still floats over our dead. but
when the treaty with Mexico was
signed American authority withdrew
to the Rio Grande. Can
we not govern colonies?' we are asked.
The question is not what we can do,
but what we ought to do. This nation
can do whatever It desires to DO, but It
must accept responsibility for what It
! does. If the constitution stands in the
way, the people can amend the consti-
tuition. 1 repeat, the nation can do
whatever 1t desires to do, but it cam
not avoid the natural and legitimate
results Of its own conduct.
1t is of age, and it can do what it
pleases, 1t can spurn the traditions Of
the past; 1t can repudiate the prlnci-
Piles upon which the nation rests; 1t
can employ force instead of reason:
1t can substitute might Of right; it can
J conquer weaker people: 1t can exploit

the Great Issue Squarely.
For n time Republican leaders were
inclined to deny to opponents the right
TO critieise the Philippine policy of the
administration, but upon investigation
they found that both Lincoln and Clay
asserted and exercised the right to
cciticise president during the progress
of the Mexican war. Instead of meet
ing the issue boldly, and submitting
clear and positive plan for dealing with
the Philippine question, the Republic
an convention adopted a platform, the
larger part of which was devoted to
boasting and self-congraulation
But they shall not be permit

MUST EXPECT FILIPINO REVOLT.
Our Whole History Encouragement for
Their Resistance.

Their Resistance.
If it is right for the United States
to hold the Philippine islands perma-
nently and initiate European empires
in the government of colonies the Re-
publican party ought to state its po-
sition and defend it, but it must expect
the subject races to protest against
such Il policy and to resist to the eX-
tent of their ability. The Filipinos do
not need any encouragement from
Americans now living. Our whole his
tory has been an encouragement, not
only to the Filipinos but to all who
are denied voice in their own gov
ernment. If the Republicans are pre-
pared to censure all who have used
language calculated to make the Fill
pinos hate foreign domination let them
condemn the speech of Patrick Henry
When he uttered that passionate ap-
peal, Give me liberty or give me
DEATH" he expressed Il sentiment which
still achoeS in the hearts of men. Let
them censure Jefferson, . y
Washington. Lincoln. =
Some one has said that a truth once
spoken can never be recalled. = ,
But if it were possible to obliterate
every word written or spoken in de
fense Of the principles set forth in the
Declaration of Independence war of
conquest would still leave its legacy of
perpetual hatred, for it was God him
self who placed in every human heart
the love of liberty. He never made a
race of people so low in the scale of
civilizationOr intelligence that it would
welcome Il foreign master. Lincoln said
that the safety of this nation was not
i'll its fleets, its armies or its forts, but
in the spirit which prizes liberty the
heritage Of all men, in all lands, ev-
erywhere; and he warned his country
men that they could not destroy this
spirit without planting the seeds of
despOtism at their own doors.
Those who would have this nation
enter upon a career of empire must
consider not only the effect of imperial
ism on the Filipinos, but they must
also calculate its effect upon our own
nation. We cannot repudiate the prin-
eiple of self-gOvernment in the Philip
pines without weakening that prin-
ciple here. Even now we are beginning
to see the paralyzing influence of i'm
perialiSm. Heretofore, this nation has
been prompt to express its sympathy
with those who were fighting for civil
liberty. ButnOw when war
is in progress in South Africa which
must result in the extension of the
monarchial idea or in the triumph of a
republic. the advocate Of imperialism
in this country dare not say Il word in
behalf of the Beers.

EXPANSION Is NOT IMPERIALISM.
Jefferson Quoted to show That Conquest
Is Un-American.


Our opponents, conscious of the
weakness of their cause, seek to con-
fuse imperialism with expansion. and
have even dared to claim jefferson as
O supporter of their policy. jefferson
spoke so freely and used language
with such precision that no one can be
ignorant of his v ws. On one occasion
he declared: "If there be one principle
more deeply Doted than any other in
the mind of every American, it is that
w should have nothing to do with CON
quest" And again he said: Conquest
Is not in our principles; it is inconsist-
ent with our government" The forci-
BILE annexation of territory to be gov
erned by arbitrary power, differs as
much from the acquisition of territory
to be built MP into states as mon-
arcny diners from a democracy. The
Democratic party does not oppose ex-
pansion, when expansion enlarges the
area of the republic and incorporates
land which can be settled by American
citizens, or adds to our population peo-
