States, nor upon the language
which they spoke, nor yet upon
the race or races to which they
belonged. Congress by prac.
tically unanimous vote declar.
ed that the principles enunci-
ated at Philadelphia in 1875
were still alive and applicable
to the Cubans. Who will draw
a line between the natural
rights of the Cubaus and the
Filipinos? Who will say that
the former has right to liber-
ty and that 1.-The latter has no
rights which we are bound to
respect? And. if the FilIpinoS
'are and of right ought to be
free and independent" what
right have we to force our gov.
eminent upon them without
their consent? Before Our duty
eau be ascertaIned their rights
must be determined. and when
their rights are once determin-
ed it is as much our duty to re-
spect those rights as it was the
duty of Spain to respect the
rights of the people Of Cuba or
the duty of England to respect
the rights of the American col
onists. Rights never conflict;
duties never clash. Can it be
our duty to usurp political
rights which belong to others?
Can it be our duty to kill those
who, following the example of
our forefathers, love liberty
we'll enough to fight for it?
Some poet has described the
terror which overcame a SOL
dier who in the midst of the
battle discovered that he had
slain his brother. 1t is written
"All we are brethren" Let us
hope for the coming day when
human life-which when once
destroyed cannot be restored
will be so sacred that it will
never be taken except when
necessary to punish a crime al
ready committed, to prevent a
crime about to be committed!
1t is said that we have a ssum.
ed before the world obligations
which make 1t necessary for US
to permanently maintain a gov
eminent in the Philippine Is.
lands. l reply first, that the
highest obligation of this nation
is to be true to itself. No obi
cation to any particular nations
or to all the nations combined
can require the abandonment of
our theory of government and
the substitution of doctrines
against which our whole ma
tional life has been a protest.
And, second, that our obliga-
ton to the Filipinos. who in,
habit the islands, is greater
than any obligation which we
can owe to foreigners who have
a temporary residence in the
Philippines or desire to trade
there.
1t is argued by some that the
FiIipinos are incapable of self,
government and that therefore.
we owe it to the world to take
control of them. Admiral Dew.
ey, in an official report to the
Navy Department, declared the
Filipinos more capable of self.
government than the Cubans
and said that he based his
opinion upon a knowledge of
both races. Bnt l will not rest
the case upon the relative ad-
vancement of the Filipinos.

James J. Hin was heartily laughed at
some time ago when he ventured to predict
that the day was not far distant when the
transpacifc trade between the ports OF
America and those OF China, Japan and sll
the Orient would not only rival, but sur
pass that which now makes the North
Atlantic the greatest ocean trade route in
the world.
To tho observant student Of those mat
tiers one thing Is very clear--the day can
not be distant when Canada and Japan
will be using one another's products 10 an
extent that can scarcely be conceived by
anyone now living. The conditions are al
there for an enormous trade expansion on
the part OF those two grand young coun-
tries. They are the heirs of the ages: they
are putting into operation the experie nee
which older leaders In the field OF COM
merce gained with pain and patience: both
are practically free traders, and II is only
on that basis that a nation can hope to
expand and become a leader In the fierce
competition Of modern times.

derfui country In the world. Each indivi-
dual knows how difficult II is to break off

surest pile cure on the market, because

ramid Pile Cure in place Of surgical op-
erations, being painless, convenient to
use, ana the patient can attend to his
oaiiy occupation while the cure is being
made as 1t is used at night and no ad-

pyramid Pile Cure costs but fifty cents
at any drug store and does the work
