Our attention was yesterday called
to document, which, had President
Mckinley and every Republican who
has undertaken to justify his policy in
the Philippine islands recollected, they
would have been spared very much
effort in the way of labored argument.
The.paper referred to is the first mes
sage which Jefferson Davis sent to
the so-called Confederate Congress, on
April Goth, 1861.
So much Of it as will serve our pres
ent purpose is the following:
"Under the mild and genial climate
of the southern states and the increas-
ing care and attention for the we'll
being and comfort of the laboring
class dictated alike by interest and hu-
manity, tie African slaves had aug
mented in number from about 100000
at the date of the adoption to the con-
stitutional compact to upward Of 4,000,-
900. In normal and social condition
thap ho1 oIn fo1 h.,rt toI
savages into docile, intelligent and
civilized agricultural laborers, and sup
piled not only with bodily comforts
full dinner pails), but with careful re-
lgious instruction. Under the super
vision of a superior race, their labor
had been so directed as not only to al
low a gradual and marked ameliora-
ton of their own conditions, but to
convert hundreds Of thousands of
square miles Of the wilderness into
cultivated lands, covered with a pros
porous people; towns and cities had
sprung into existence and had rapidly
increased in wealth and population
under the social system of the South.
The white population of the southern
slaveholding states had augmented
from about 1,25O,OOO at the date of the
adoption of the constitution to more
than S,50O0OO in 1850; and the pro-
ductions of the south in cotton, rice,
sugar and tobacco, for the full devel-
opment and continuance of which the
labor of African slaves was and is
Indispensable, had swollen to an
amount which formed nearly three.
fourtbs of the exports of the whole
United States and had become abso-
lutely necessary to the wants Of civil
lized man. With interests Of such over
whelming magnitude imperiled, the
people of the southern states were driv
en- by the conduct of the North to the
adoption of some course of action, to
avert the danger with which they
were openly menaced."
This one paragraph, In a singularly
compact and lucid form, states the en-
tire Republican position upon the colon
ial question this year. Every plea
which has been put forward, from
Mr.. McKinley's letter of acceptance
down to Professor Orth's school house
spell l-binding, in defense Of the policy
that would subjugate brown race to
the mastery of a white race, is far
more admirably, and just as justly,
urged by Mr.. Davis as his justification
for a white race dominating a black
one.
No element of the stock arguments
used in the present campaign is lack.
ing in his message. 1t embraces them

The controlling forces in the Trust
Party today are most dangerous ele,
ment-neither stopping nor caring to
take comprehensive and far reaching
views of the Republic, the sacred prin-
ciples upon which 1t was founded, and
the heroic sacrifices made for its pres
ervatlon and moral supremacy among
the nations; they have already made
fearful progress in the weakening of
the public virtue and in the substitu-
ton Of gross material aims for those
lofty ambitions which alone can make,
sustain and glorify Republic. Their
ambitions and efforts surely lead to-
ward Imperialism, and in their leader
they have found a willing instrument
For him, therefore, they are straining
every nerve and pouring out ill-gotten
gains like water 1t remains to be
seen whether the voters will endorse
these sordid diversions from American
ideals.

down the flag from over the richest
mining territory in Alaska as we'll as
from over the Nicaraguan canal, to be
built with American dollars. And all
this hauling down is to be done for the
benefit Of Great Britain. Is 1t not
enough that the Administration should
compliment British craftsmanship
repudiating American principles of q
century ago to adopt the policies of
government advocated by George III?
Why pay Great Britain the further
compliment Of hauling down the flag
