An Answer for Schurz.

in 1896 used more violent language con.

thing. Is opposing President Mckinley
on account OF the Philippine policy. Mr.
schurz has stated that his blood boiled
az our misconduct IN taking the Philip
pines and that no denes any man 20

nation a parallel IN poln, OF infamy 20

insurgents

reason that our conduct has been the re-
verse of Infamous and. therefore. cannot

may De pointed out that infinitely graver
criticism can Justly be passed upon the
dealings OF this nation with the Sioux ana
Ncz perces during the administration OF
President Hayes OF which III. SchurE
was a member. than can bo passed upon
any Of our dealings with the Tagdls under
President Mckinley.
The parallel between the Sioux aud the
Tagais Is not unfair and Aguiualdo prob
ably stands above sitting Bull. but be
stands lnaniteiy below chief Joseph. and
tho Nez Peroes. unlike the Tagals, did
have real aud grave injuries OF which TO
complain. Mr. Schurz was then Ia power
and ne could have shown the faith that
was within him by striking deeds OF the
kind which he now champions ia words

when men got pointed IN the wrong al

ponents OF our Philippine policy have
actually denounced us for the stand we
took in China. a stand dictated. not mere

these critics Of ours wished us TO leave
