ORDER IN THE PHILIPPINES

The American Filipino has little real
reason for exulting over the disturbed
condition In the Philippine islands.
Order is being established there with a
facility that must be disheartening to
those who habitually rejoice at their
country's discomfitures. Bryan papers
still point the finger of scorn at General
Otis statement made some months
since, to the effect that the "baok of
the insurrection is broken,'' but eyi.
dence is accommodating TO show that the
back of the insurrection was broken
then and has not been patched since.
AS evidence to the truth of this moth.
ing has been more pertinent than the
testimony of the Rev. Father McKin.
non, who was chaplain of the First
California regiment. and afterwards
took hold of reorganizing the schools
in Manila and who has but recently re.
turned from there. AS his Testimony
as here given, is taken from the Exam.
iner interview with him it can not be
suspected of being an overdrawn state.
ment of the case. It runs as follows:
THE islands are progressing very fa-
vorably, and their products this year
will be greater than at any time in the
last decade. Lieutenant Conners. who
has had charge of the sanitation in
Manila, has made that city almost as
healthy as San Francisco. The people
of Manila were never more content
and there was never more money in cir
culation than there is at present.
1.-THE back of the rebellion is broken.
and I do not believe that there will
ever be a determined stand made against
our soldiers. / believe that one hun
dred men can march from one end of
Luzon to the other. The Filipinos
would not attack full company of
soldiers, so wholesome is their respect
for them.
General Macarthur has made a
splendid record, and is very popular
with the people. His word goes with
them, for they know he will keep it.
Judge Taft has also made good i'm

The United States restricts the coast
wise carrying trade to American YES
sells with the result that there was
greater tonnage of American vessels built
during the year ending June 80 than for
the whole merchant marine Of either
France OF Italy, but of all this only one
vessel was built to enter the foreign
trade and not one to carry California
wheat to market. Our coastwise carry
ing trade is fostered. Our foreign car
rying trade is suffered to compete with
out substantial aid against competi-
ton that is aided by bounties paid IN
construction and in operation. The
Republican party is trying to right this
wrong. The Bryan party is trying to
wrong this right of the American ship

in foreign trade, to have as adequate a
protection as competing nations give
their builders and owners. That is the

attempt on the part of the holy Alli-
ance) to extend their system (of abso-
lutism) to any portion of this hemisphere
as dangerous to our peace and safety,
and we could not view any interposition
for the purpose of depressing american
republics) or controlling in any manner
their destiny by any European power in
any other light than as a manifestation
of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States.'
This is the Monroe doctrine 1t did
not cover peaceful surrender of territory
and the house of representatives de-
clared specifically that the Monroe doc
trine was not to be understood as max
ing the United States a party to any
quarrel between an American country
and European power. Monroe him
self declared that, 1t is only when our
rights are invaded or seriously menaced
that we resent injuries or make serious
preparations for defense"
In the popular mind the Monroe doc
trine is supposed to give the United
States protectorate over all the Span
ish- American republics, but there is
nothing in the doctrine or in American
diplomacy to justify any such belief.
The United States has not protector
ate over any country on earth. 1t is
not answerable to Europe for any terri
tory over which it has not sovereignty.
Where our government is responsible it
is wholly responsible Where it is not
wholly responsible it is not responsible
at all.
For ats Oaon protection, and not for
the protection of South America or
Central America, our government will
not permit European monarchy to be
established on the Western hemisphere.
That is all there is to the Monroe doc
trine.
The establishment of q monarchy in
the Philippine islands, or other part Of
Asia, is not a menace to free institutions
in America as the establishment of a
monarchy in this country would be, and
for our country to attempt to shut the
monarchies of Europe out of Asia, or
any part of it, by declaring it an un-
friendly act (Which in diplomacy means
cause for war; would be to provoke
hostiities with combined Europe, an
eventuality so tremendously perilous as
to make the bravest shudder at the pos
sible consequences.
The thoughtful man will need no
other evidence of the absolute irrespon-
sibility, want of craftsmanship and of
elemental knowledge of diplomacy on
the part of William ]. Bryan than his
declaration, in his indianapolis speech
of notification, that he would extend
the Monroe doctrine to include the Phil
ippine islands. To elect such man to
the chief magistracy of this nation is
to f1aunt the flag of defiance in the
faces of all the nations of Europe and
usher in an era of universal war in
stead of universal peace.
And that is the man who by the
bogies of Republican imperialism and
militarism is striving to frighten the
American people into electing him
president!
