Do NOT OPPOSE EXPANSION


The forcible annexation Of territory to
be governed by arbitrary power, differs
as much from the acquisition of territory
to be built up into states as "a monarchy
differs from a democracy. The Demo
cratic party does not oppose expansion,
when expansion enfarges the area of the
republic and fncorpora- eS lands which cIn
be settled by American citizens or adds
to our population people who are willing
to become citizens and are capable of dis
charging their duties as such. The ac-
QUESTION Of the Louisiana territory, Flor
ida, Texas, and other tracts which have
been secured from time to time, enlarged
the republic, and the constitution 70 wv d
the flag into the new territory. 1t is now
proposed to seize upon distant territory
already more denSefy populated than our
own country, and to force upon the -ople
a government for which there is no war
rant in our constitution or our laws.
Even the argument that this earth be-
longs to those who desire to cultivate it
and have the physical power to acquire
it cannot be invoked to justify the appro-
priation of the Philippine islands by the
United States. II the islands were unin-
habited, American citizens would not be
willing to go there and till the soif. The
white race will not live so near the
equator Other nations have tried to col
onize in the same latitude. The Neither
lands have controlled Java for over 900
years, and yet today there are less than
60 900 people of European birth scattered
among e, coo 600 natives. After a century
and a hah of English domination in In
dia, less than one twentieth Of one per
cent of the people in India are of English
birth, and it requires an army of 10000
British soldiers to take care of the tax
collectors. Spain has asserted title to the
Philippine islands for three centuries, and
yet when our feet. entered Manila bay,
there were less than 10000 Spaniards re-
siding in the Philippines.
CALLS FOR LARGE ARMY.
A colonial policy means that we shall
send to the Philippines a few traders, a
few task masters and few office hold
ers and an army large enough to sup
port the authority of small fraction Of
the people while they rule the natives. If
we have an imperial policy we must have
a large standing army as its natural and
necessary complement. The spirit which
will justify the forcible annexation of the
Philippine islands, will justify the seizure
of other islands and the domination of
other people, and with wars of conquest
we can expect a certain, If not rapid
growth Of our military establishment.
That a large permanent increase in our
regular army is intended by the Republl-
can leaders is not a mere matter of con-
lecture, but matter of fact. In his mes
sage of Dec. s. 1898. the president asked
for authority to increase the standing
army to 100000. In 1886 the army con-

am disappointed that England has not

hard to blame her as those people are
in their own country and thoroughly
seasoned to hard fighting and the pc
