are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness This was their majestic
Interpretation of the economy of the
universe. This was their lofty and
wise and noble understanding of the
justice Of the Creator to His creatures
Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures,
to the w1ole great family of men.
In their enlightened belief nothing
stamped with the Divine image and
likeness was sent into the world to be
trodden on and degraded and imbrut-
ed by its fellows. They grasped not
only the whole race Of men then liv-
ing, but they reached foy1cara and
seized upon the tut1test posterity.
They erected a beacon to guide their
children and the countless myriads
who should lnhabit the earth in other
ages. Wise statesmen as they were,
they knew the tendency of prosperity
to breed tyrants, and so they estab-
lished these great sclf-eytdent truths,
that when in the distant future some
man, some faction, some interest,
should set up the doctrine that
none but rich men, none but W7,ite
men, or none but .dnelo-Saron
lC7,ite men lUere entitled to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, their posterity might look up
again to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and take courage to re-
new the battle which their fathers
began, so that truth and justice and
mercy and all the humane and Chris
tain virtues might not be extinguished
from the land; 30 that no man here
after would dare to limit and circum-
scribe the great principles on 1c1,ich
the temple of liberty 1cas being
built.
Now, my countrymen, If you have
been taught doctrines conflicting
with the great landmarks of the de-
claratlon Of independence; if you
have listened to suggestions which
would take away from its grandeur
and mutilate the fair symmetry of it's
proportions; if you haye been inclined
to believe that all men are not created
equal in those inalienable rights
enumerated by our chart OF liberty,
let me entreat you to come back.

What Sena-
ator Hoar Says

ave are asked what we would do
In this difficult emergency. 1t IS a
question not difficult to answer. I
for one am ready to answer it.
81 would declare now that we
would not take these islands to gov
ern them against their will.
II would reject cession Of sovereign
ty which implies that sovereignty
may be bought and sold without the
consent Of the people. Spain had
no rlghtful sovereignty over the Phil
ippine islanls. She could not right
fully sell it to us. We could not
rightfully buy it from her.
II would require all foreign gov
ernments to keep out Of these islands.
ii woull offer to the people of the
Philippines our help in maintaining
order until they have u reasonable op-
portunity to establish government
of their own.
II would aid them by advice, if
they desire it, to set up a free and
independent government.
"I would invite all great powers
of Europe to unite in an agreement
that independence shall not be inter
fered with by us, by themselves, or
any one of them without the con-
sent Of the others.
II would declare that the United
States would enforce the same doc
trine as applicable to tho Philippines
that We declare as to Mexico and
Hayti and the South American re-
publics.
81 would then, in q not distant fu-
ture, leave them to work out their
own salvation, as every nation on
earth, from the beginning of time,
has wrought out its own salvation.
Let them work out the ir own saliva
ton, as our own ancestors slowly
and in long centuries wrought out
theirs; as Germany, as Switzerland,
as France, in briefer periods, wrought
out theirs; all Of them within a cen.
tury, some of them within the life of
generation to attempt to impose
freedom from without on any peo-
pie Is to disregard all the lessons of
history. Almost the same doctrine
as Bryan breaches. Is it not odd
that Sen. Hoar votes against Bryan7
