"rhe United STATES went 70 wal; with
spajn urged on by the11Democratic
party. The popularity oflti,e war was
such that Mr.. Bryan ioiBea, the army.
The war was successful nni,a treaty OF
peace was entered into whereby the
United. States agreed 10 pay sec, 100000
and accept the Sovereignty sand public
property of Spain IN 3the philippine ar
chipelago. There was opposition to the
ratification of the treaty. Mr.. Bryan,
came toNWashMgton and persuaded his
Democratic friends to vote for the
treaty was finally ratified. at then be-
came TIE duty of the United States to
r,aintain.law. and order and protect the
lives and property of all residents in
the Islands, whether native or foreign
BON. The United States atithe time OF
the ratification Of the treatySheld mill
.sry possession Of Manila and !mme-
dlately after such ratification assumed
the sovereignty Of the islands. The
people OF, heSUnited states.and partc-,
ularly of the Faclacjcoast. became en-
titled to the vast commerce OF the Pa
r!fc ocean Of which the-.Philipplnes
furnished the key. .iss "a.
Aguinaldo's Treachery.
One Aguinaldof had raised, rebellion
In Luzon@ against SPAIN before .rthe.
cummencement!of the Spanish war with
the United States. This adventurer had
sold out or settled his rebellion with
Spain for 100000 before Dewey set sail
for Manila. nndxas a part 70 the bar
gain with Spain, Aguinaldoi agreed to
leave the Islands and never return.
Dewey took the willy agf,ator. back to
the Islands. Aguinaldo would. naturally,
be an enemy Of Spain and "a friend OF
the United States, In ithia Admiral
Dewey was mistaken. Aguinaldo, as
SION US he landed on his.hative soil,
organized a rebellion against the Uni,
Tod States which would have been of
little consequence II he iiatitnot been
able to obtain. comfort and aid in this
country. An organization %as formed
in the United States calied1the Anti
1npe.lallstic League. which has for
the last two years co-opetuted with
Asulnhlco's Tagal 1unta, with head
quarters at Hong Kong to supply liter
allure and means of war for-Aguinaldo.
President Mckinley bdd no authority to
buy out .Asuiraldos !-e3ellion against
the United States.i but was bound by
the treaty which was the suHrene law
OF the land. to maintain law and order
and protect life and properry-fn the Is
lands. 1t required a large army and
the expenditure of hundreds OF mill
ions Of dollars to put down. Asuinaldo's

Misled by Bryan
THE assistance and the encourage
ment he received from the s,anti-im-
perialist lengue and the enemies OF the
United States both at home and. abroad,
made his barbarpus and irregular war
bloody and expensive. Congress, how
ever, made all necessary ,appropria-
tons. providing he.executive men and
money to maintain the authority OF
the United stntes in the Philippines.
The so-called anti;imperIallses, declared
that the policy pursued by the govern
ment to put down the rebellion and
matntainIaw and order in allsterrItor-
les Of the United 'stntes without regard
to the time when such territories were
acquired was imperialism and that
any use of the army to maintain law
and order-howeFer necessary-was
'militarism' and that giving aid and
comfort%to rebels in arms against the
United States was maintaining the
principles of the; Declaration OF indie
pendence. -5i! 3;
MI. Bryanis unparalleled campaign
for the: principle OF the Chicago plat
form and h!s'insistence upon the adop-
ton Of that platform at Kansas. City,
Induced the people to suppose the
campaign of 1900 would be conducted
on the issues of 1896. In this It seems
they were mistaken"
Senator Stewart then quotes Mr..
sryan's declaration OF his intention, II
elected, to call an extraordinary sess-
ion,of Congress to give the Philippines
freedom upon the same terms as; as Cuba.
He denounces the decent convention OF
anti-lmperiallsts at Indianapolis and
denounces Mr. Bryan for promising to
attempt toa"extend the Monroe doc
trine to the Orient" .''ss
