BRYAN AND THE PHILIPPINES.

What could a President Bryan
practically do with the Philippines
different from what President Nc
Kinley is now doing and proposes to
do? Concede, it is said, to the Demo-
cratic candidate frmness of will,
courage, and d complete loyalty to
the promises upon which he has
asked the suffrages of the American
people concede that his theoretical
propositions about government by.
consent of the governed are true
still, how could he practically change
the present policy of the United
States? Anti-imperialist criticism
is said by the President in his letter
of acceptance to be a matter of
'phase-making, by which he means
theoretical, impractical, OF insincere
talk.
To this 1 now reply that the Nc
Kinley programme and the Bryan
programme with respect to the Phil
ippines are, in practice as well as in
theory, far different, and would lead
to Numerically opposite results.
For, when all political philosophy
and splendid congratulations on one
side or the other are brushed aside,
this concrete thing remains: That
President Mckinley proposes, with
the military force of the United
States, to complete the conquest of
these Asiatic islands, and in future
to hold their inhabitants as subjects,
with no rights except such as may be
granted them by the United States,
/ and with no share, therefore, as mat
ter of right, in the Constitution Of
the United States. So much is clear
and another thing is equally clear {:
That Mr.. Bryan proposes a reversal
of the policy of conquest that, If
elected, he will make no further
effort to conquer the islands, unless
Congress shall cOnstrain him by
resolution or act passed over his
veto-a contingency obviously not
worth consideration, for it implies
that, though successful at the polls,
Mr.. Bryan will not have the support
of One-third of either house of Con-
gress that the American troops will,
with his approval, remain for no
other purpose than to promote the
properly expressed views of the Fill
pinO people with respect to their
islands that the Filipinos will be
freely permitted, and, so far as may
be, aided by American means, to
create government in place of that
which we have destroyed or sup
pressed that Filipino independence
will be recognized as soon as there
shall appear any government suti-
cient for recognition which fairly
represents the 5,0O0,O 900 of civilized
natives that a treaty will then be
negotiated, under which the United
States will secure proper commercial
rights and reasonable guarantees
chat is to say, guarantees which are
reasonable in view of the distressed
condition of the Filipino people, for
the protection of American and other
foreight rights and that the port of
Manila will be retained by us and
conceded by the treaty. Manila is
largely European in population and
interest it was conquered from
Spain by the United States, and has
since remained in its possession 1T
was never in possession of the Fill
pinos it is a proper naval and coal
ing station and it is necessary to
any protectorate by the United
States.-Edward M. Shepard, in o.
