The Democrats and EX-
pan sion.

Hos. ID. \. DE Almond of Mis-.
souri,, whom thousands of good
Democrats in this State, next 10
Champ Clark, would like to see
made United States Senator, de.
livered Il great speech in Congress
a few days ago in opposition to re-
tanning the Philippine Islands.
Mr.. De Almonds remarks. it is
said, were taken as final uttcrancc
of the Democratic position on the
vexed question of the Philippines
and received the closest attention
from both sides of the House.
The speaker summed up the at,
titude of his party on the much
discussed question of imperialism
and expansion when he said:
1.-THE Democratic party is not
opposed to expansion founded mp
on American principles. EXpan-
sion is one thing; colonial empire
another. The Democratic party Is
anxious to see the country expand,
as expansion was understood by
our fathers. Expansion upon the
American continent, north on
south, is the Democratic idea OF
expansion, not the holding 10y sub
jugation of 10, GOO, 900 people 1000
miles beyond our border
This statement, delivered with
great earnestness, aroused pro-
longed cheering from tn" Demo
cratic side of the House.
Mr.. De Almond rcpudlatcd ut
terly the oft repeated charge that,
in criticising some of the acts ol
army officers in the Philippines,
the opposition to the present PmI'
ippine policy has slandcred and
assailcd the American army.
In conclusion, the speaker t"Io
of his presence in Havana, May
20, when the American flag was
lowered and the flag of the Repub
lie of Cuba hoisted. To him, rs al
American citizen, he said, tn,
sight was inspiring.
"Far more inspiring he con
tinued, ethan if the American iia+
had remained put in Cuba and
the faith of the American people
violated

AsrrAMsHIp MONOPOLY.

The Morgan steamship syndicate has
lantic line, the White Star. and is now
credited with the control of six lines
running between American and Euro
pean ports. This movement toward a
monopoly Of steamship transportation
to Europe was begun only a short time
ago and has been carried forward with
the rapidity characteristic Of the syn
dicate of which J. p. Morgan Is the
head. Whether or not 1t will be able to
fully accomplish its manifest purpose
cannot now be determined. In order
to do that 1t must absorb several British
lines and also the German lines and this
may be found difficult, though 1t Is pos
sible that a community Of interest ar
rangement may be effected that will
place all the existing lines practically
in the control Of the sy indicate. 1t has
been reported that Americans had
bought considerable blocks of the stock
Of the two great German steamship COM
panies and this appears to be confirmed
in a late dispatch from Berlin regarding
negotiations which have been held in
this country between directors of these
companies and the American syndicate.
The companies already in control of the
syndicate constitute the most powerful
combination OF maritime interests, says
the New York Journal of Commerce.
that has been formed anywhere with
the possible exception Of the British
shipping trust, more extensive than
this, but much less solid, because
it is without common ownership,
This investment of American capital In
foreign steamship companies has been
referred to in the debate on the ship
ping bill in the senate. but it is not APP
parent that it can have any relation to
that measure, which 1t is pointed out
would not in the least benefit the syndi.
cate. What this movement to establish
a steamship monopoly really means is
that the ocean transportation business
viii be made more profitable. which as
already shown involves higher freight
rates.
