CONDEMNS IMPERIALISM.
Charles Francis Adams Declares the
Administration Injurious
and Wrong.

Charles Francis Adams, president Of
the Massachusetts, Historical society,
the Oldest and largest society of it's
sort, assailed Imperialism in an adj
dress before the Chicago Historical
society the other night. He declared
that all the facts of history showed
that the administrations policy in
holding the Philippine islands was
wrong and bound to work injury to
both Americans and Filipinos. The
history of countries ruled by England,
he said proved that an inferior people
could not be prepared for self-govern-
ment by a superior people. If left to
themselves, he insisted, inferior ma
tions were certain to work out their
own salvation. Mr.. Adams said:
'I want to throw out a distinct chal-
lenge. I want to ask anyone here to point
out to me case of any inferior nation
that has ever been elevated by what we
know as benevolent assimilation. This
policy We are pursuing is not American (;
II is English. We are following a theory
of Great Britain-a theory that makes self
government impossible. For 80 years We
followed what we called the Monroe doc
trine. We didn't try to subjugate inferior
nations-we tried rather. to put them on
their feet. l have used every effort to
keep from being partisan. There is not
one here who knows how will vote"
