WERE THESE GOOD

What Washington, HaniL

ster Thought About Inn
perialism.
Alexander Hamilton:

. Alexander Hamilton:
: To usurp dominion over n peo-
pie in their own despite, or to
. grasp at a more extensive power
than they are willing to entrust,
is to violate that law of nature
. which gives every man right
to his personal liberty.
. When any people are held by
: laws in framing which they have
. no part, that are to bind them to
. all intents and purposes without
in the same manner binding the
. Legislators themselves, they are
: in the strictest sense slaves, and
the government in respect to
. them is despotic.
George Washington Farewell Ad-
!. dress.
: Europe has a set of primary
. interests which to us have none
. or a very remote relation. Why
forego the advantages of so pecu-
. liar n situation? Why quit our
. own to stand upon n foreign
ground? Why, by Interviewing
. our destiny with that of any part
of Europe, entangle our peace
and prosperity in the tolls of
. European ambition, rivalship, in
terest, humor or caprice? Avoid
. the necessity of these overgrown
. military establishments, which
under any form of government
. are inauspicious to liberty, and
: which are to he regarded as par
ticularly hostile to republican
. liberty.
Benjamin Franklin:
Retaining n trade is not an OBJ
ject for which nations may justly
. spill each others blood; the true
. means of securing commerce is
the goodness and cheapness of
. commodities; and the profit of no
. trade can ever be equal to the
expense of compelling it by fleets
. and armies.
Daniel Webster:
Arbitrary governments may
have territories and distant pos
. sessions, because arbitrary gov
. ernments may rule them by diff
ferent laws and different systems.
. Russia may rule in the Ukraine,
: and the provinces of the Cauca-
sus and Kamtschatka by differ
. ent codes, ordinances or ukases.
: We can do no such thing. They
. must be of us, part of us, or else
. strangers l think l see a course
adopted which is likely to turn
. the constitution of the land into
. defOrmed monster, into curse
rather than blessing; in fact, a
. frame of an unequal government,
! not founded on equality, but on
the grOssest inequality.

THAT is BREAKING THE BACK
OF TURKEY.
1t puts the United States far
In the lead of all the military
powers in the world in the cost
of It's military service. How does 1t
improve matters from Republican
standpoint to prove that we do not
have much of an army to show for It.?
And this does not include the cost
of the navy, on which we are probably
spending more than any country In
the world except England.

cal year 1901 is $114, ,22O,O ,O95.55, which
is nearly five times the amount under
the Democratic regime. The cost of
the army in 1896 was only $23, ,252,-
Cos. The rest of General Manderson's S
SOL ,093.927 represents river and har-
Dor and other non-military expendi-
lures.
Thus, even on the Republican sta
tistician's own showing, there are only
three military powers in Europe that
spend more ON their armies than we
are spending now. But that tells less
than half the story. All the following
expenditures, provided for in our ap-
preparation bills for the fiscal year
1901. are included in the European
military budgets:

she awoke. 1t was no dream but a
reality. The parlor was lighted and
filled with white robed creatures,
such as she had been dreaming of.
But what of the black robed creatures,
were they angels also? Nay, they
were the Bethel boys, and what we in
our half asleep condition had mistaken
for wings were bundles of wax. Per-
heaps there were good boys but not of
course angels, for they hustled their
table out into the yard and when next
we saw the dining room of love, it was
thoroughly waxed. We were next as
sured there need be no uneasiness as
to the refreshments as the young folks
would attend to that matter, and after
while they disappeared into the or

very good apples. We feel they have

they may wax better rs they wax older
