PROGRESSIVE EMPIRE.


To fully appreciate the peril Of the
dream of Empire which now possesses
the souls of certain Americans under
tie influence OF an imperialist admins
tration of national affairs. it is neces-
sary TO contrast the present with the
past policies Of this Government and to
note how sure has been the encroach-
ment Of the spirit Of Empire upon the
spirit OF the Republic which animated
American administrations until the pres
ent time.
During the past three-Quarters of q
century this Government has torborne
10 take advantage Of weaker peoples in
its own hemisphere. This past record
seems remarkable under the conditions
now brought about by the growth Of
imperial ambitions Within that Time
the Spanish power has been broken in
South America, an entire continent
freed from Empire, notable group Of
independent Republics established IN
der the protection of the United States.
Not once did we think Of denying
liberty TO these peoples. Not once did
We dream OF expanding southwark for
the further extension OF American
trade. The Monroe Doctrine did not
stand in the way of such expansion. 1t
would have been legitimate expansion,
save that II would have violated the
American principle which forbids the
government Of other peoples without
the consent Of the governed. But ex-
actiy because this was forbidden We re-
Trained from conquest or annexation in
South America, assisting, rather. in the
establishing OF the South American Re
pubiics.
Under the sway Of eommercialized
politics instituted by HaBnaism this
high regard for American principle has
ceased to exist In the Republican party.
1t Is to be noted that an unmistakable
apostasy from the faith Of the fathers
has developed. The Declaration of In
dependence is declared TO have been
written and signed by the early patriots
with an eye solely to its timely appli-
cation TO their own case and not as
placing any obligation upon Americans
who came after. The American Consti-
tuition is regarded as having been very
good for our guidance under ordinary
but not framed to cover ex-
conditions, and not by any
means too sacred to be violated If ex-
pediency SO demanded. The Monroe
Doctrine is openly flouied as tending 10
make us the Western hermit nation"
a Korea retiring within itself, u Chiua
building wall around itself 1t is
urged that these things-the Declara-
ton, the Constitution, the Monroe Dec
trine-must not stand in the way of our
greatness. We have outllved them, say
the Mckinley imperialists.
This is the question for Americans TO
decide In the campaign now under way:
Shall we relegate the Declaration Of In
dependence to the limbo of ant:Quated
and cast-otf faiths: Shall we deny the
Of the American Constitution
because that instrument forbids En-
p.re? Shall we abandon the Monroe
Doctrine in order that we may enter
upon an era Of conquest and spOiiation
In far lands? These questions must be
answered In November of 1900. BY the
vote then cast shall it be known wheth-
er the Republic is to perish and an En-
pire take its place. For this Is the su-
preme issue at stake before the Amer
lean people.

BIAS FELT THE CURSE.

Carl Schurz's earnest warning Of the
dangers existing in the Republican pol
icy Of Empire is warning issued by a
man who knows whereof he speaks
when he tells Of the certain evils insep-
arabic from imperialism and militarism.
The thousands Of German-Americans
who know, as Mr.. Schurz himself
knows. what Germany suffers under the
curse Of Empire, of big standing armies,
Of military conscription, of oppressive
taxation, Of the grinding Of the faces of
the producing people, Of the eternal
menace of war, will not fail to recog-
nize in that representative German
Americans words true presentment OF
the German-American attitude toward
Republican imperialism. They cannot
fail to perceive clearly where their duty
lies in this campaign. They must see
that every vote cast for the Republican
national ticket is a vote for Empire.
They know that if they cast such q
vote they vote to betray to Empire the
Republic which saved them from En-
pire.
To the great body Of Americans not
knowing by personal experience the
blight Of Imperialism and militarism
upon the true greatness and happiness
of a nation Mr.. Schurz's warning should
be of signal value. His testimony is
expert testimony. The horror of i'm
perialism has been so deeply implanted
in his soul by his sufferings and those
OF his Fatherland that he cannot re-
main silent when his adopted country
is threatened with an evil so appalling.
He does not like Mr.. Bryan, but he viii

derse all the planks Of the Democratic

campaign. There is no greater evil pos

Empire. Mr.. Schurz will work and vote
against the Republican plottars who
