attempting to make Democratic capital out Of
that act when every Democrat in both Senate
and House of Representatives voted for 1t. The
appropriate ton was unanimously made by both
houses and the Democrats were more enthu-
siastic for the war than the Republicans and
openly boasted that they had forced reluctant
President in the matter AS Bryanite argu-
ments complaints about the s50,000.0o0 lump
appropriation of which this is not the first, are
not only dishonest, but contemptble.
The wall Of Gamaliel continues:
When President Mckinley declared war
against the Philippines without authority or
Congress, and before the treaty was ratified, he
trampled on the Constitution contemptuously
as a Cromwell, in the House OF Commons. point
ing to the Speakers mace, told his soldiers to
take away that bauble." When, after he had
carried on this war for nine months. Congress
came together only to notice his proceedings
by indorsing and approving them there mas
been no more abject submission to executive
authority since Louis XIV compelled the Paria-
ments of Paris to register his edicts ih &c
justice.
This is simple misstatement of fact. Pres
dent Mckinley did not declare war against the
Philippines. He held Manila a conquest from
Spain taken from Spanish troops. Before the
Treaty of Peace was ratified AguinaldO's bands
In the surrounding country attacked our troops,
and there was nothing for them to do but de
fend themselves, and that is all they did. After
the treaty was ratified and the islands were
made territory of the United States 1t was the
Presidents constitutional duty to maintain the
Nations authority in that territory in the alb
sence of legislative instruction to take some
other course. Instead of being a stretch Of
Executive authority his acts were only the
obedience to the will of Congress expressed I'm
the annexation of the islands If Congress had
expected him to do anything else it would have
shown not independence Of Executive power
but contempt for its own constitutional au
thority.
Still further the wall continues:
The government Of Porto Rico organized to-
day practically on the plan Of the British Crown
colonies, is in itself a gross insult to a nation
claiming to base its liberties the Federal
Constitution.
Another perversion of fact out of a clear sky.
The Porto Rico Government act is almost
copy of the laws Of 1904 and 1922 under which
the present States of Louisiana and Florida
were respectively governed. The changes give
the Porto Ricans a larger measure of self-gov-
ernment than was allowed to the people OF
Orleans or Florida. In their case all power
proceeded from Washington through a Governor
and appointed Council while provision is made
to give Porto Rico an autonomous Legislature
Porto Rico has more liberty, in accord with the
principles of the Federal Constitution than
either Of the Territories mentioned enjoyed.
That is the fact. but we suppose BTyanite cam
paigners cannot be expected 10 state facts
honestly and truthfully. There are more votes
in misrepresenting the acts of their opponents
But that sort Of business does not accord with
the high moral pretences of Gamaliel Bradford.

THE PARAMOUKT QUESTION

The American people have been taught that
whatever else Mr. Bryan might be he was lot
q trimmer. His views might be dangerously
radical and radically wrong, but it was urged
that he had the courage to avow them. If the
people did not like what he proposed they need
not, but they were under no delusion concern
ing what he meant TO do. In view of these
claims for Mr.. Bryan. it is only fair to ask him
70 live up to his reputation in dealing with his
heralded paramount issue of imperialism. What
does be purpose TO do in our new possessions
and how does he purpose to do 1t?
His platform gives no satisfactory answer to
that question. The meaning of his free silver
plank we know. the meaning of his free riot
plank we know but we have not so much as
heard if there be any definite meaning In his
anti-imperial plank. Yet the American people
are entitled TO know exactly what he would do
in the Philippines He critcises what has been
done there and appeals for the votes Of all who
are dissatisfied with what the Republican policy
promises to accomplish. lie is under obligation
10 offer a workable substitute for that policy
just as he did do the currency question,
squarely telling the people that for the gold
standard he would substitute the free coinage
OF silver at the ratio Of 16 TO ].
The Democratic platform is a mass Of contra
dictions on the Philippine question. In one SEN
tence it declares all our territories including the
Philippines, 10 be part and parcel of the United
States, and their inhabitants entitled 10 partci-
patton with us in the privilege Of our Constitu-
ton. In another it declares the Philippines
never can be under the Constitution without en-
dangering our country and proposes setting up
in this American territory now under the Con
stitution an independent government and pro-
tectOrate unknown to that instrument The plat
form promises nothing definite and consistent
IT makes pretence Of saying "hands off" but
1t is hands or" at some future time after the
FiIipinos have quieted down and accepted the
stable government which the Democracy offers
10 establish for them. That is ali very well for
those who like it, provided the Filipinos lay
down their arms and accept the tutelage of the
hated American; for the antiimperialists never
fail 10 tell us that he is hated and is not wanted
as tutor in free government. But what II the
FilpinOs refuse 10 make terms and leave Mr.
Bryan the choice Of abandoning the islands TO
anarchy continuing TO hold them by force?
VIII Mr. Bryan order the withdrawal Of the
American troops from the Philippine Islands
Immediately on becoming President If he is
elected: That is fair question. which calls for
frank and manly answer. He SAYS he is
against imposing government on people. Does
he mean II. or is he only using a catch phrase to
get votes? If he means it, then il must be that

Government and of belief In the existence of a
considerable element in China-even In official
China-which stands for law and order and
friendship with foreigners. Nor does ii in the
slightest degree dlscredt the practical wisdom
of the policy which has been pursued by the
United States Government
On the contrary, we must regard this plain
tale from the Tartar city giving further vim
dication to that policy. In the first place, that
policy comprised an unwavering behef that the
Ministers were still alive and might be rescued.
For a time the Washington Government was
alone in that belief, and It is now seen to have
been right and all the others to have been
wrong. In the next place, it involved the use of
all possible diplomacy and tact. the mainten-
ance of friendly relations with the Chinese
Government, and above all abstention from
any declaration of war; in order to assure If
possible the safety of the legations until re-
lief could reach them. The wisdom and the
practical success of that course have already
been abundantly established. Finally, 1t called
for the most expeditions advance to the relief
and rescue of the legations. DR.. Morrison tells
of the good result of the victories at Tten-Tsin,
which, as we know, were won in great part by
American troops and were at the time almost
wholly due to American insstence upon for
ward" policy. To-day the grand advance upon
Peking is under way, led by Americans, and
started probably some weeks earlier than 1t
would have been had it not been for the urgent
stimulus of the American policy. To say these
things is not mere National vaingl0riousness.
1t is rather to record the simple facts of history
in we'll merited vindicatlon Of the course pur
sued by the United States Government and in
rebuke of those. both at home and abroad, who
have either superciliously patronized 1t as
amateur diplomacy" or maliciously mallgned
it as a mere campaign trick to get votes for
Mckinley" The story is one Of which Ameri-
cans have just cause to be proud. on grounds OF
prudence. of wisdom and of valor.
