resides, with his privileges not pos
sessed by his neighbors, there jealo
usy and hatred spring up.
Puerto Rico gives us our oppor.
tunity to expand in an American
way if we choose. There has been a
strong feeling in Central America
in favor of annexation to the United
States. 1t is almost certain that
such a step would be popular in
Nicaragua, if it should seem to be
the only way of getting the canal.
But that idea is based on the assum.
ton that territory annexed to the
United States becomes American.
No independent republic, however
aceak or torn by dissensions, wants
to turn itself into colony.
If we had set Puerto Rico on the
high road to American prosperity
when Congress met sixteen Ionths
ago, the PEOPLE of Cuba would not
have been as clamorous as they are
now for immediate independence.
They would have been able to see
the substantial advantages of Anne
rican rule. AS it is, Puerto Rico
is not an invitation, but a warning.
II has been customary to call
cache Presidential election the most
critical in our history, but in truth
there have been very few that could
compare in Importance with the one
just approaching. Certainly there

the opposite.
The result has been that Scotland,
which had been the hereditary ene-
my of England through her whole
history down to the union of the
crowns, is nolo more loyalty British,
if possible, than England herself,
aChile Ireland is permanently hos.
tile camp in the heart of the empire.
The growth of the United States
hitherto has been always true expan-
sion. We have taken in territory
with the purpose of making it an
actual, integral part of the republic.
Now, for the first time, we are beg
inning to have subjects. The inhab-
itants OF Puerto Rico, says the bill
that has just passed, "shall be dee
med citizens of Puerto Rico, entitled

of the United States as may reside
there, shall constitute body polite
under the name of s'The People Of

powers as conferred by the bill with
power to sue and be sued as such.D

Imperialism Versus
Expansion.
One Is The Negation Of
The Other.

The NeaO York Journal in re.
cent issue uses the following strong
words upon the great question of
the hour in the United States:
The difference between expansion
and imperialism is the difference be-
tween strength and weakness. 1t
is the difference between growth and
aggIomeration. An expanded nat.
ton is like a tree. Every part of it
is live, vigorous, part Of the organ
ism, adding strength to the whole.
An imperialized nation is like a hulk
covered with barnacles. Move it
into fresh water and its accretiOns
drop off.
IF you look at the maps of antiqui-
ty you will find seemingly mighty
empires forming great splotches on
the map, and little later you will
find other splotches covering almost
the same spaces, but bearing differ
emit names. Now it is the Assyrian
Empire, then the Babylonian, and
again the Median, the Persian, the
Empire Of Alexander the Great, Of
the Seeucids, the Parthians and tlel
sassanlan Persians, Itwas not that
one nation grew and died and was
succeeded by another, It was that
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-04-20
New York, April goth, 1900.

one tribe overran a vast tract of
country, snbjugated other tribes and
ruled them for time, and then was
Subjugated and ruled in its turn.
If Darius had been the ruler of a
Persian nation, Alexander could
never have chased him from end to
end ofhis empire with thirty thous-
and men. He was beaten because
he was only the ruler of a dominant
tribe, which had its hands full in
keeping its subject populations in
order before the invader came.
Spain was most powerful before
she began to waste her vigor in for
eign conquests. She became help
lessly feeble when the sun ceased to
set on her empire.
Even England, whose empire is
the most stable that history has ever
known, is not strengthened by her
subject provinces. Her statemen
were beginning to talk of the s'weary
Titan" even before the Beers began
to make that WEAKNESS more acute.
1t is doubtful whether England has
ever been greater than she was in
the time of Elizabeth, when her en-
pire included not even Scotland.
But she has given us examples of
what to follow and what to avoid.
In Scotland We have pure expansion;
in Ireland, imperialism. England
took Scotland into full partnership.
The Scotch were governed according
to their own ideas. Their represen-
tatives were consulted before laws
affecting Scotland were passed.
ireland was treated asa vassal. In
passing Irish laws the rule was foil

has been none such since the second
election of Lincoln. After hun
dred and eleven years of vigorous
life under the Constitution, we are
to decide whether that instrument
has been outgrown.
We are to decide whether we shall
abandon all our old maxims and
start on the road down which Baby.
Ion, Persia, Macedon, Rome and
Spain. moved to destruction.
Imperialism is not only not the
same thing as expansion-it is its
very negation. When imperialism
begins, expansion stops. Under the
imperial system, the central power
is stationary, and it reaches out and
seizes all the outlying territory it
can hold by force. The larger the
pile of plunder becomes the weaker
is the power that holds it.
Some time in the future, if we
return to our old. policy, expanded
America will stretch from the 18th
mus OF Panama to the Arctic Ocean.
1t will include all the West India
islands. 1t will have such coaling
and trading stations as it needs in
the Pacific, and the Philippines, in
habited by a peaceful, loyal race,
will give it access to Asia. 1t will
have mighty navy, but no great
army, for it will not need one. Un.
broken peace will prevail through
its own dominiens, and no other
power will venture to attack it. 1t
will have its own Nicaragua Canal,
through its own territory, with no
Clayton Bulwer or Hay Pauncefote
treaty to disturb it.

citizens, feeling that they have equal
rights, arill be entirely contented.
Such a nation will be invincible, for
It's blood will circulate in every part.
A grab bag empire, with its parts in
mutual repulsiOn, will need only one
hard shake to fall to pieces.

is in their attempting to westernize the

these lines:

And an epitaph drear:

man who is too stupid to know the risks
he is taking, and it is the reckless man
who plunges wildly and misses no des-

wrong with his heart. He had the physical
strength to max the fight against bad food
and water, to endure the back-breaking
toll of developing and working out, and
all the strain of the uncertainty that went
before. The supreme moment of success
was more than he could stand, and the
use of the gold passed from him with its
requirement. A certain James Meade lay
down with typhoid fever in an outlying
camp just as he was starting for home

he and his bag of dust entered Dawson
