Mr.. BryAn's Philippine Policy.

New York worlA
Congress has adjourned without de.
hning the policy Of the republican
party toward the Philippines. 1t has
''lett everything to Mckinley" who
has sent s second commission 10 Manila
TO proclaim = Sovereignty which the
Inhabitants refuse 10 recognize and
which be has been utterly unable to e.
tablish, after sixteen months OF war,
with 5000 soldiers. Everything Is
vague and unsettled except the i'm
perialisiic ides and the fearful cost IN
lives and money.
The voters who are opposed TO this
AsiAtic adventure know exactly where
Mr.. Bryan stands in regard to it. He
formulated bis policy in the Nebrasks
democratic platform, and has just con-
densed Il in these words:
An immediate declaration OF the
nations purpose: First, TO establish q
stable government; second, 10 give the
Eilipin0s their independence; and
third, to protect them from outside
interference.
OF this policy be says:
believe tina, an immediate an
nouncement Of the government policy
would stop the war and make easy the
establishment Of 3 stable government.
don't anticipate any trouble from The
protection suggested. Our protection
Of the South American republics hai
been = great help to them and yery
little expense.
I This Is in effect a proposition to de-
in and for the Philippines what con.
gress solemnly pledged the nation IL
do In Cuba. 1t is Just, it is American.
ii is practical. 1t would have prevent
ed the war in the Philippines. 1
would stop the ''insurreetIon" now.
Upon this policy Mr.. Bryan vii
have the earnest support Of the Work
and Of every enemy Of imperialism W.T.
believes with Us that The only issue il
the campaign worth considering is th'
preservation Of the Republic, the main
ten.nce Of the Constitution and . re
! turn 10 the principles Of the DECLARE
ton Of Independence.
