AS TO IMPERIALISM
a reporter tried to get from Mr.. Bryan
an expression of opinion as to the recent
change of policy on the part of Represen-
tative Sibley Of Pennsylvania
II refuse to discuss him at present"
said Mr.. Bryan.
On the question Of imperialism Mr..
Bryan said:
1.-THE more people see of Imperialism,
believe, the less they will like it. Our
expansion must be accomplished without
extending our territory. Our purchase
from the Indians was soon settled up and
divided into states, and all citizens have
rights and privileges under our govern
ment. Webster defines an empire to be
nation which embraces variety in races
and diversity in government, and as an
imperial policy Is the policy of an empire
it embraces the idea now promulgated by
the Republicans-tha is, that the ma
ton should reach out and draw other ma
tons under the flag by force, and then
govern them as subjects.
my contention is that a republic can
not have subjects, and this nation cannot
afford to bring into the country any who
are not to share in it's government. The
Filipinos do not desire to come in, and
do not think that a majority of Ameri-
cans desire to have them come In. There
fore 1 have from the beginning favored
and still favor an immediate declaration
of the nations purpose to give to the
Filipinos independence on the same terms
as inexperienced was promised to tic
Cubans-as soon as a stable government
was established. But l have believed.
and still believe, that hostilities would
cease as soon as such announcement was
made and the establishment 20 a stable
government would be an easy matter. /
further believe this nation should give to
the Filipino government the same protec-
ton as is given to the republics of South
America-namely a protection which
would present moestation from without"
Would you have this apply to the
Beer WARP
mot at all. There is a differencec be-
tween sympathizing with the people en-
gagged in fighting for independence and
people who have come under our imme-
date influence. 1 believe our people sym
pathize with the Beers, as they have
sympathized with every people under
similar situation. A man who believes In
the doctrine Of government sympa-
thizes with those who fight for it rather
than with a monarchy fighting against
it,
