Harrison ON Imperialisn.
From The New York World.

From The New York World.
The address of ex-President Har-
rison at the University of Michigan
is in some respects the ablest and
most conclusive argument yet made
against the paradox of imperialism
in republic. 1t will tend to con-
vince even-Mr. Mckinley that this
question was not settled by his cleo
ton, and that, as the World said on
the morning of November y
"The fight against imperialism
will not stop. 1t will go on uncon-
fused hereafter with the now dead
and everlastingly buried free silver
fallacy. The Philippines must be
as free as Cuba. The eternal vital
ity of the Declaration of Independ-
ence must be acknowledged. The
supremacy of the constitution wher-
ever the flag flies in sovereignty
must be admitted"
General Harrison bases his ar
gument upon the rights of man, di-
vinely ordained, and upon the nature
and requirements of our constitu-
ton. He reminds us that
"Our fathers worshiped very pro-
foundry their beliefs as to the rights
of man. 1t was their faith, based
upon liberty derived from God.
1t was a divine gift to be claimed
for our people only upon the con-
dition of allowing it to apply to all
men,"
And with his minds eye on the
Presidents policy of benevolent
assimilation" he declares that "the
man whose protection from wrong
rests wholly upon the benevolence
of another is a slave, a man without
rights"
Attacking the assumption that
Porto Rico and the Philippines can
be governed outside the constitution,
General Harrison says:
If the act of annexation does not
carry the constitution can think of
nothing that does"
And he declares that "a govern
ment of unlimited executive powers
is not an American government. +"
Going directly to the root of the
matter, General Harrison afirms
that the United States 'scannot take
over or continue to hold territory
whose people are hostile to our own
government.
1t is not, however, he we'll says,
merely constitutional question; it
is ga question of the mortal law, of
conscience; we have no right to judge
the capacity for self-government of
the people of another nation, or to
take and annex their land" And
the ex-Presidentmen the ssgrav-
er peril hanging over us" to which
the World called attention when this
imperialist policy was first disclosed
the danger to ourselves. care
the rights of the people upon the
mainland secure" he asks, "when
we exercise arbitrary power over
other people from whom we demand
entire obedience2"
Touching in conclusion upon the
commercial reason for military ex-
pension, General Harrison uttered
this noble and truly American SEN
timent
"God forbid that the day should
ever come when the thought of man
as a consumer should absorb that
grand old doctrine that man is a
creation. of God endowed with un-
alienable rights!"
