opinion III the matter; yet in both Formosa and
the islands wer4 people who had knowledge
of all independent government and desired to
obtain such. When Our Fathers were struggling
to throw off the tyranny of George III. and his
parliament, suppose that France, after landing
o,ooo troops and sending Decrease with his
fleet, had concluded to offer England $40, ,ooo-
900 for the colonies and England had ceded them
for that sum, stating in the cession agreement
that "the civil rights and political status of the
colonists were 10 be determined by the French
government" would such have been rightful
transaction, and would it have been the duty of
our Faith ers to accept the cession and yield all
their ideas OF governments deriving their ''just
powers from the consent of the governed?"
Not an American will answer this supposition
in the affirmative, nor would Americans, if in
habitants of Formosa or of the Philippine Is
lands, waive all tights to be counseled in refer.
ence to change in their 'civil rights and po-
litical status" or national relations. So far as
Americans themselves are concerned they are
inbued with the idea that they have right to
a voice in government. The agreement with
Spain utterly ignores these principles which we
hold so dearly and leaves out all application of
the Golden Rule. The policy, following ou. the
letter of the articles of the cession, rests upon
the theory that might makes right
The Declaration of Independence is a refuta-
ton of the rightfuness of the Philippine policy.
1t is, however, held that the principles of our
Fathers do not apply in this case. In the Dec
issue Of the North American Review, Mr.. Amos
Fiske, under the heading, "Some Consecrated
Falicies," combats the position that government
in the Philippines should depend upon the ''con-
sent of the governed" George III. and his parlia-
ment took this same position in reference to the
colonies. His biographer in the Britannies says
George ILL.,, who thought that the first duty
of the Americans was to obey himself, had on
his side the mass of unrefecting Englshmen

commercial sagnation and general poverty.
That the island has already langushed under
American rule-our Revolutionary forefatheis
did not expect that their descendants would so
soon go into the "ruling' buslness-the most
disinte1ested witnesses attest A leading jour
ma. OF this city New York the Herald, prints
in heavy-faced type the following statement
of correspondent:
"American military officials told me at the
/ outset that the year and half OF American
sovereignty had been blight on the island.
This was not the echo Of Spanish or of Puerto
Rico feelings. They spoke their own views
with soldierly frankness, and sometimes with a
word of regret for their own position. Their
talk was more pointed than when filtered
through official channels
1t is in these circumstances that our legisla-
ture, al the instance of benevolent president,
decides to refund to the people of the island
two million dollars of duties collected in our
ports on their products. Our tariff system
breeds poverty i'll the population it oppresses.
and then we rush to their assistance with lar
ees They ask for Justice, and we offer them
alms-alms for which the correspondent already
quoted says he cannot find single individual
who is grateful. We rob the Puerto Rican
Peter to pay own tobacco growing Paul;
and then we rob the whole community TO pay
back Peer. And, strange to say, some Of us
feel very vif.uous over the business. The coun-
tenance of the president gows with satisfaction
over the thought of all the good he is doing
For our part, we view the matter in different
light The money will, of course, meet GER
tain expenses of government in Puerto Rice,
but there is reason to fear that it will do as
much TO pauperize the island in one direction
as tie restriction of its trade will do il another.
What the Puerto Ricans want is not aims, but
commercial liberty. The repayment of this
money will not stimulate their trade; it will
not stimulate anything except their helpless
ness. 1t is an open question whether they will
suffer more by our protectionist greed or ty our
wishy-washy sentinentality. Meantime, what
are we tn think of the party system whose eXi-
gences place us in SO ridiculous position be-
fore the world? How long shall it abuse our
patience?

there was no decent course to take save to make
