/ Bryan's recen. speech at indianapolis
was an Arrangement Of the demo-
cratic party and of its great leaders in
the days of it's inquest toned and proud
dominance. MIR. Bryan has right to
sdeclaim loudly against US holding on
to the Philippines without the consent
of the Filipinos; he has a right to
preach to his sentimentally absurd, abb
stract Interpretation Of the declara ton
sof independence-an interpreta ton
which efficiently accepted as the right
full basis of government, would sub
Vert all government and enthrone5
anarchy-but it is not right in the light
of history to attribute such absurdity
of interpretation to Jefferson or to any
of the other democratic fathers, for it
is never right to misrepresent the dead.
Col. Bryan has trailed the demo-
cratic colors before noisy populism;
not content he has trailel them before
the lingering remnant of democracy
ancient and meanest ene!ny-New Eng
Hand federalism. In 1872 those colors
We're trailed before another long time
enemy Horace Greedy. AS the result
was in 1872, SO will 1T be in 1900.
And, Mr.. chairman,if to be unequiv-
oeally and interminably opposed poiiti-
caily to that man who would have this
republic under any circumstances With.
draw its sovereignty from one foot of
terra firma that had fallen to it under
recognized. usages of nations, was once
democracy; if under the magic spell Of
MIR. Bryan it is no longer democracy,
but is turned to repu blica nisrn, then l
am q republican, for i mere matter of
nomenclature is without Importance
DO not talk in this convention about
lsconsent of the governed. No man, not
even Aguinaldo, has a r.ght to refuse
consent to just and equitable govern :
ment, and Mr.. Bryan would SANDER our
\ people should he intimate that this re-
| public would ever subject any people
to any other kind of government. Mr..
Bryan kno VS. we will give the F'ilipinos
4 good government, a thing they never
| yet had; he knows we Will give them
4 good and free schools, something they
never had. Our capital will develop
ltheil' resources and make plenty
4 abound among them. When they be-
come fitted we will give them self gov
sernment, just as you and exercise
self governments; and yes, under our. au-
4 spices and control they may attain to
Intelligent self government; left to
themselves, chaotic anarchy or grinding
4 despotism is their everlasting doom.
4 Imperialism. II is rhetorical babel
4 sheet iron thunder, noisy but not dam
4 gerous
II want TO see a congress elected thai
1 will uphold the presidents hands in the
4 good endeavors he has undertaken re-
4 garding the Philippine Islands. Indeed,
! let there be infused into the president
i a little of old Jacksonian impetuosity,
4 for old Jackson would hang Aguinaldo
i higher than iaman, by the eternai!.
! .sGentlemen, viewed from democratic
4 precedent, the presidnts policy must be
approved, if tested by the fundamental
4 verities of right and wrong, tor which
i we have no time today, it will be found
a Ito be in perfect line With the highes
4 order of patriotism.
4 Organism is a patchwork of abs
s|.surdities, Il medley of contradictions, a
sl.crazy quilt of fanatic fallacies. Bryan
/ ism is the half-tone federalism that
n abused Jefferson for the purchase OF
\ Louisiana; it is the full tone Hartford
