DEMOCRATIC EXPANSION.

The Republican newspapers have
been doing the people a real service by
publication OF a map sent out by some
one Of the imperiakst committees
very likely the Cuban annexation jun
Ia Of washington-which map shows
how the United States has grown and
enlarged by Democratic expansion.
Louisiana Is marked Democratic ex-
pansion," and 80 is all Of California.
Texas, Oregon, the Gadsden purchase
and Florida
Cuba is also included in the list. II
Is an instructive map. II We had one
Of them we would publish II. Every
voter ought to see a copy and study 1t
carefully. BY this map It is shown that
the present great area Of the United
States OF America is due entirely to
Democratic expansion" save and
alone the original thirteen states and
Alaska. This II q record which the
Republican party dare not point to
with pride" There was no "Repub-
lican expansion" known until McKin-
ley got In his work. The growth Of
the United States 90 as to cover large
part OF the continent and include
homogeneous states working togeth-
er in harmony has been due to the
Democratic party.
We are glad that the Republicans
have called attention to the fact that
the expansion we have known before
has practically all been Democratic
expansion" This Is q point We have
been making al along. but the Re
publicans refuse to acknowledge It.
President Schurman Of the first Phil
ippine peace commission, acknowl-
edged II. He was among the first
Republicans to declare that the expan-
sion under this administration differs
in every essential from the expansion
Of the Louisiana purchase. Then Sec
rotary Root stated the distinction
plainly.
since then the EXPERIMENTATION mas
acted entirely upon the theory that
expansion which includes islands in
distant seas is entirely unlike the ex-
pansion which the Democratic party
brought about. In fact, every thing
has been done to make It evident to all
that the Republican expansion" Of
1899 Is entirely different from the
Democratic expansion" which has
made ours a great and glorious nation.
The truth il that Democratic ex-
pansion" is in accord with the spirit
OF our institutions, while Republican
or imperialism, Is along
the lines of European colonization
