with Spain, we found hundreds and
thousands of islands in the Orient
linked together in a group, called the
Philippines, loaded down with oppres-
sion, treated with centuries of cruelty
and oppression, ignorant and enslaved;
we found there eighty different tribes
most of them speaking languages en-
tirely foreign and not understood by
the other-eighty separate savage
tribes. We took possession of those
islands under title rs clear and un-
disputed as that under which every
member of this convention who has
home, holds his by deed.
Nobody In the world disputed our
title. and we found. due to Bryanite
disaffection at home, that n savage IN
surrectlon against our power and au-
thority was existing, we proceeded, as
II was our duty to do. to suppress 1t,
and that, fellow citizens, is the origin
of the new Bryanite crusade against
the Republican policy. What would
you have us do? Would you have us
turn back that island to savagery?
They have got no pretense of self-gov-
ernment. The race of Tagalos which
is fighting us has no cohesion with the
other eighty-odd tribes that exist In
the islands. To turn them back to their
own resources would turn them back
to bloody and endless and cruel war.
We took those island, not for aggran-
dizement and not for selfish purposes.
We took them because there were ten
millions OF ignorant people occupying
those islands, coveted by every nation
of Europe, who would have gone to
war over them. and we realized that
our duty as an Anglo-Saxon race re-
quired us to take possession OF those
islands and lift those people up into
the light Of civilization and of Chris
tianIty. That is the policy which the
Democratic party attacked.
There, Mr.. Chairman, we stand. and
there the Republican party proposes to
stand. They say, give back those Is
lands. Why, fcllow-citizens. We took
