Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-06-22

The democratic party has
never acquired an inch OF terri
tory that it did not sign and seal
a covenant with.its inhabitants
that they should have all the
right of American citizenship and
that their territory should be
finally admitted as states to the
Union. The republican party
was the only party in this coun-
try that has ever proposed to
hold vassal provinces, and the
democratic party wanted no
share of the honor. If the peo-
pie were not fit for free institu-
tions, our free institutions were
not fit for the government OF
such people. We could not al
ford to become tyrants on the
ground that another people were
not fit to be free.
