may raise the wool for somebody else to
wear and mutton for somebody else to
eat

a pitiful evasion Of the promises made by
the American people.
BY the terms of the pending bill, he said,
the islands were for the Filpinos as the
pasture was for the sheep-they lived and
brpwsed there in order to raise wool for
others to wear and mutton for others to
eat.
IF the carpetbag government you pro-
pose to establish in the Philippines he
cried, is not a thousand times better than
that which you established In your own
country after the civil war Lord God have
mercy upon the people of those islands,

ports from Manila that Gen. Smith had

The country without people the word pac
ified' will be written upon the tombstone of
the province of Samar."
