The Republican party says there is no
Imperialism. vet II is governing Puerto
Rico and the Philippines distinctly and
undeniably according to the Democratic
definition of Everett Times.
According TO the Democratic definition
the federal government has been govern
ing territories in an imperialistic way
since its foundation. There is no incl
dent OF the manner of government of the
Philippines and Puerto Rico which is not
directly In accordance with Democratic
precedent. save In the exemption OF those
islands from all federal taxation.

Safeguards Against Milltarism.

Mr.. stevenson. the Democratic candi-
date for Vice president of the United
states, Is among those who still, despite
previous experience. believe that the
American people can be readily fright
ened by campaign bogies. The present
Democratic cry against ''mii'tnrism'

him to revamp some OF the speeches
which he made against the admins
tration OF President IAncoln. in 1864.
when stevenson was a candidate for
presidential elector on the Democratic
ticket In recent speech, an echo
from 1864. Mr. Stevenson says:
TT Is doubtful whether the army
in service. numbering 100000 men, can

ilstment. such an army as an accep-
lance OF the Mckinley imperialistic
programme would necessitate. can only
be maintained by conscription."

SHOULD MCKINLEY BE RE.
ELECTED.

The results that would follow
Mr.. McKinley's reelection might
be summed up as follows: The
policy ofimperialism would receive
a great impetus; the subjugation OF
unwilling peoples by armed force
and incorporation as q part OF the
United States subject to its rule,
but not receiving any Of the bene-
fits of citizenship would have been
endorsed by the people at the polls
says the Philadelphia Times.
The increase Of the army per-
manently to hundred thousand
men or more would follow as a
matter of course. The CONNER
cial greed and the desire on the
part of the dominant forces of the
republican machine to obtain
markets for our manufacturers and
to exploit subject peoples can not
be expected to stop at the begin
ming of such a career, and an ever
widening field Of ambition would
open up to the president of the
United States. The president OF
the United States would be an
emperor in Asia, and the long
mooted alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, between the two great
brahches of the English-speaking
people for the exploitation of the
world, or for that part left for
conquest, would naturally follow.
The American people will have
L no one but themselves to blame il
by their votes the policy outlined
| is followed. The old ideals upon
which our government and consti-
tuition rest, the fundamental prin'
ciples of our republic, everything
we hold sacred, or which has
patriotic and liberty-loving i'm
pulses in the past, tremblos in the
balance. Trusts and monopolies
| would riot in their ill-gotten gains
the wealth of the country would
continue to be absorbed by thu
few, while the poverty of the mas
ses would increase.

THERE is little wonder that so

that their county will pay their

CONVERTING THE FILIPIN0s


Manila reports that "the insur-

dred and sixty Filipinos were kill.
ed during the week" In the An
tigua province of Panay "a run
ming fight resulted in the killing or
wounding Of seventy of the enc

"slow," but when it is remembered
that the Filipinos are very numer-
Gus and that killing them is APP
parently the only way of persuad-
ing them to accept amnesty says
the Philadelphia Times, the use Of
this term is explained. The only
pacified Tagalos are the dead ones.
Some Americans are killed and
wounded in this process Of paci-
tication and it costs q great deal of
money, but then we are to consider
the importance of commerce with
the Philippines, A statement of
the business Of the port of Manila
for the year past has just been is
sued. Itappears that merchandise
to the value of $17 ,450, ,412 was inn
ported during the year, of which
the United States furnished the
imposing amount of 81, $50, ,304. II
seems pretty costly trade on our
side.
This Manila customs report does
not included our whole commerce
with the islands. The latest stats.
tical report of the Treasury De
partment gives the figures in de.
tail for the eleven months ending
with May. There was exported
from the United States to the
Philippines during that time mer

would be close to nil.
No doubt when the islands are
pacified we shall do better. MOI
so many horses and mules will be
needed, but the surviving Filipi,
nos may take to our beer and

need coal. Meanwhile it is annoy

of Puerto Rico and the philippines
is the same as that of Arizona,
