CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.

The difference between democratic
precept ami practice is illustrated beau
tifully by the following extracts. One
| Of them Is part of some remarks made
by Senator Tillman last winter in de-
pate with Senator Spooner, wherein the
former explained and defended the sup
preston of the black vote in South Caro-
lima. The other is from the Kansas City
platform. which that senator helped to
make and which he read to the conven-
vention, with great JUNCTION:
From Tillman's speech; We took the
government away. We stuffed the bal
lot boxes, We shot them. We are not
ashamed oft. With that system force
tissue ballots, etc we got tired oursel
yes. So we called constitutional con-
vention, and we eliminated, as | have
said all of the coIored peopl6whom we
could under the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments.
From Kansas City platform. We de-
clare again that all governments insti
tuted among men derive their powers
from the consent of the governed; that
any government not based upon the con
sent Of the governed is tyranny, and
that 10 impose upon any people Il govern
ment of force is to substitute the methods
Of imperialism for those of a republic.
So it appears that in democratic esti-
nation the doctrine of the necessity of
"the consent of the governed" is too
good for the niggers, but is none too
goJd for the Filipinos. 1t is too good
for men who have been associated close
" with white Americans all their lives
as were their forefathers who came'
here two centuries ago or more-who
speak the English language and who are
measurably familiar with the institutions
of this country. That doctrine is none
too good FOR the Malays of the Philip
pine, who, in useful knowledge and
political capacity, stand far below the
colored men of the south, whom demo
Gratis govern without their consent.
The island of Haytiis divided between
two black republics the citizens of neither
of which are as well qualified for self
government as are the Negroes of South
Carolina Those two republics have had
wars and revolutions and neither of them
is well governed But either of them with
all its faults would appear model re-
public beside Filipino one. Yet Mr.. Bry-
an proposes to establish an independent
stable" Filipino governmental demo
cratic character and then notify all for
eign nations that they must let that
government alone.
The democrats have the effrontry to
tra,nple ON the rights of American citi
zens in the south and in the same breath
sympathize with Filipinos because they
are not given all the rights it is alleged
they should have. Who is so ignorant
as to be misled by this harping on ''the
consent of the governed If it is sound
doctrine in the Philippines why is it not
in South Carolina and other states where
the governed blacks are more intelli-
gent than the Tagals.

peaIed and fraternity and union have
been rooted in the hearts Of the Ameri-
can people Political passion has alto
gethcr subyided and patriotism giows
with unextinguishable fervor in every
home Of the land The flag has beer
sustained on distant seas and islands by
the men Of all parties and sections and
creeds and races and nationalitles, and
its stars are only those OF radient hope
TO the remote peoples oger whom it floats
There Can be no imperialism. Those
who fear IL are against it, Those who
have faith in the republic are against it,
So that there is universal adherence for
| il and unanimous opposition to it. Our
only difference is that those who do not
agree with us have no confidence in the
virtue or capacity or high purpose or
good faith of this free people as civili-
zing agent, while we believe that the
century of free government which the
American people have enjoyed has not
rendered them irresolute or faithless,
but has fitted them or the great task of
lifting up and assisting to better con-
ditions and larger liberty those distant
peoples who have through battle become
our wards.
Let us fear not There is no occa-
sion for faint heart; no excuse for re-
grets. Nations do not grow in their
strength and the cause of liberty is not
advanced by the doing of easy things.
The hS:der the task the greater win be
the result, the benefit and the honor.
To douSt our power to accomplish is to
lose faith ia the sourdness and strength
of our popular institutions. The liber-
ators will never become the oppressors

they foster and defend
Gentlemen, we have the new care
and cannot shift it, and, breaking mp
the camp of ease and isolation, let us
bravely and hopefully and soberly con-
tinue the march of faithful service and
falter not until the work is done 1t is
not possible that IS, 900, 900 of American
freemen are unable to establish liberty
and justice and good government IN our
new possessions. The burden is our OPP
portunity. The opportunity is greater
| than the burden. May God give Us
strength to bear the one and wisdom so
to embrace the other as to carry to our
distant acquisitions the guarantees of
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness President Mckinley.
