IMPERIALISM

This is declared by Mr. Bryan and
other Democratic leaders to be the
paramount issue" In other words, II
Is the best and most important reason
they can offer why the most prosper
Gus administration this country has
ever known should be turned out. and
why they who have no record but as
politicians should be placed in control
Of the stupendous interests of this
country. The term imperialism" as
used by Mr. Bryan in application to the
present administration, has reference
to the uses to which the military power
of the government has been put dur
ing President MCKinleys admnistra-
tion. What are those uses?
In 1898 war was declared against
Spain by unanimous vote of the con-
gress OF the United States; and rcmem-
Der by congress" is meant both Demo-
cratic and Republican representatives
in the house and in the senate. The
Republican administration did not. of
course, and could not declare war; but
under the constitution which vest. 'he
power to declare war in cong, -,
the duty of making war, whC.- ..-
clared, is imposed on the pros :.
and his cabinet. and he must oil ba. =
mandate of congress. All the wCH!
knows the success with which the L.
publican administration carried throdgh
the war which drove Spain from tho
American continent.
MIR. Bryan came forward then as q
patriot and asked for and was appoint
ed colonel of regiment, ready to take
his full share of the responsibility in
this first step toward what he now mis-
names imperialism. We say first
step. Let us look at the second and
chief step and his part therein, for 1t
is the basis on which his cry Of I'm
perialism" must rest, II it has any basis
at all.
When the Spanish war was brought
to its brilliant conclusion 1t was the
same almost unanimous congress, DEM
oCrats and Republicans, who instructed
for the terms of peace with Spain and
which ratified all the peace condi-
tions, including the taking over OF the
Philippine islands; and again, under
the constitution, the president of the
United States had no recourse but to
carry out the terms of this peace
treaty Congress has never recalled
that instruction to the president, and
he has no alternative but to proceed
with his duty, until congress declares
for some other line Of action.
Where did Mr.. Bryan stand at the
time this treaty of peace was being
considered by congress? He made a
special trip to Washington and did all
