export trade Is how larger than Great
Britain's with all her three hundred
million colonial subjects: Know also
that our foreigh trade Has gained 90,
per cent in the last ten years, while
hers has lost nearly five per cent.
Then again, that England's trade with
her colossal colony, India, with its. two
hundred and fifty millions of people, is
but seven per cent of all her trade.
Colonies do not make trade: Trade,
Is an individual matter, and the best,
trade for a country Is that which the
individual dealers find to be best for
themselves. They will go where they;
can trade to the greatest profit wheth-
er 1t be to colony or to forelgni
country: It was when the United
States were rich and enterprising, not
when they were English colonies, that
England derives the greatest trade from
them. Why will holding the Philip
pines as colonies help our trade? Can
trade be legislated? England tried it
once with us and her Navigation Acts
eliminated In tea party In Boston
harbor.
Colonies Ruinous to Republic.
A colonial system, dangerous to an
empire, is ruinous to republic. 1t
is utterly impossible for nation
Conceived in liberty" and dedicated
created free and equal" to hold ma
ton subject to it's might. A millennium
may come when the lion shall lie
down with the lamb but vassal and
lord, sovereign states and colonial
subjects, can never exist in a govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people. You might as we'll
move the poles of magnet to it's cen"
ter and expect attraction. A system OF
colonization in the Philippine Islands
would necessitate u large standing
army. Colonies and standing armies
are inseparable. They are the twin
children of imperial greed They
would lay upon us the additional bur-
den of taxation. and menace the lib
critics of the people. A republic can.
not endure large standing armies.
They are abhorrent to self governs
ment and free institutions. They i'm
peril us to all the evils of military
despotism. A colonial policy has no
place among the sacred tenets of this
government. The pathway of empire
is deep strewn with the wreckage of
nations once mighty and glorious as
our own. If this nation would endure
1t must steer to the star if it's destiny
by which our fathers shaped it's course.
1t must be free, all united, and all re-
public.
