A REPUBLICAN, ANNEX.

Congressman Norton, of Ohio,
speaking on the conduct of the
Pension bureau in the house OF
representatives on Jan. %, showed
up the fact that the bureau is
being run as part Of the republi-
can machine in the following
language.
"Now, let me say that to me
it appears that the republican
party leaders are striving hard to
run the Pension bureau as an adj
junct to the republican party.
Why, sir, let me give you an IL
lustration showing why it appears
that way. I have here in my
hand a pink slip of paper, which
you will all recognize as being for
the use Of Congressman in calling
for information from the Pension
Department. We read at the
bottom:
These slips are exclusively for
the use OF Representatives in. Con-
gress, and when used by any
other person will not receive con-
sideration.
"Now, here is one of these blanks
asking for information relating to
the case of a soldier in my own
town and signed by politician who
had his home in New York City
during the last campaign. Now,
this status call was dated June l,
and here is reply sent to this
republican politician, not mem

giving a full statement Of the case.

shocked the national conscience
and would have been overwhelmed
in one universal voice Of protest
and condemnation. The consum-
nation OF these sinister proceedings
was only possible because the pas
sions Of the people were aroused by
the fevers Of war. Thank God, the
voice Of reason and justice is again
being heard in the land, and let us
hope that in the near future we
shall be again able to celebrate the
birthday of the once glorious
Fourth Of July in the old-time
spirit.

THE Philippine TRADE

1t is . little difficult to arrive at
the conception which the Imperial
lists have OF the Filipino. When
they talk about him from the
standpoint Of government they
would have us believe that he is q
stark naked barbarian who has not
yet reached the breech-clout stage
Of civilization. When they talk Of
him from the standpoint Of trade
they want us to think of him as
flooding the American market with
his orders for dress goods, boots
and shoes, bicycles, steam plows
and pianos. In one breath they
tell US he is a naked barbarian,
clothed only in feathers, red paint
and hot weather, and in the next
breath we are told that he is keep
ing all the mills of all the world
busy working overtime to sup
ply the demand of his luxu-
rious tastes. He seems to be spe-
cially constructed to fit any kind
Of an argument that may be made
about him.
But the trade argument will not
hold water. If we made ten per
cent. profit on all the goods we sell
to the Philippine Islands we would
get back in about a Thousand years
what we have already spent in at
tempting their subjugation. If we
increased our trade thousand per
cent. and made profit Of ten per
cent. on every export and every
import it would just about defray
the cost Of maintaining there three
regiments of American soldiers for
a single year. Some Of our mill
tary officers say that we must main
tain there an army Of $4,000 men
for an indefinite time. Such an
army kept there for a twelve
month would consume the profit on
our present trade for $50 years.
This is the size of our Imperial bo-
nanza in the Philippines.
Passion and madness have thus
far controlled the public mind since
the "Colonies" were acquired. But
returning reason is coming to the
American people: the fierce &C
claims that hailed the beginning Of
our colonial policy no more meas
ure the great depths Of the public
mind than the height of the waves
measure the depths Of the sea.
Now that the storm that swept us
from our ancient moorings has spent
it's. worst fury, we begin to enter
the clear calm Of sober second
thought and dispassiOnate reason.
Millions Of republicans throughout
this country realize the mistake
that was made, and wish in their
secret hearts that they could undo
the past without confession Of
failure, Encouragement and mis-
take. The American people will
never consent that the passions Of
an hour shall change the destinies
OF our republican form of govern
ment forever. The sudden adop-
ton Of the colonial policy took the
whole country, and even the re-
publican party, by surprise. Who
will pretend that it was ever ma
turely considered and accepted? II
at any time before the thunder OF
Dewey's guns in Manila bay it had
been proposed that this country
should enter upon q policy Of for
eign conquest; that it should be-
come a ruler of tropical archipeli-
COS and the tyrant Of distant prov
inces, the proposal would have
