Carl Schurz Assures Senator Foraker.
In,a.!eRgtha article lg the, New York
Herald, Carl Schurz vigorously rep lies
to q recent criticism of Senator For
akers. He calls attention to the ter.
rible work in which this country is
engaged in the Philippines. Shows
how we are wantonly killing the Flip
mos because they would not consent to
be driven like herd of cattle from one
foreign rule to another. Here are two
paragraphs which we extract from Mr..
Schurz's reply:
In public speeches have again and
again challenged. the imperialists to
show me in the history of the world a
single act of perfidy committed by any
republic more infamous than that
which has been committed by President
Mckinley's administration against our
Filipino allies. / have never received
an answer. now address this chal-
lenge to Senator Foraker personally. |
respectfully invite him to ransack all
his knowledge of the annals of man
Kind for an act of treachery more base
and Infamous, and then to enlighten
the American people with his finding.
Senator Foraker is deeply grieYed
when we call the Philippine war a
crime. But did not President McKin-
ley give such name to such war him.
self? 1t was he who said in ore of
his messages: Annexation by force
cannot be thought of, for it would be,
according to.our code of morals, Grim.
inal aggression" Will not the annex
alton Of the Philippines be distinctly
annexation by force? And is there in
itany element of that criminality lack
ing which Mr. Mckinley attributed to
it? Is it not especially criminal since
it involves bloody war against people
who but recently were our allies
against common enemy, and whom
we are now killing only because, &C.
cording to principle we have pro-
claimed ourselves, they aspire to be
free and independent, while we would
make them our subjects? President
Mckinley has no right to complain
when he is judged by q standard set up
by himself"
