IMPERIALISM.

While ! presented my views at the
notification proceedings concerning this
vital issue. the overshadowing i'm .jor-
tance of this question impels me to re-
fer TO Il again. The issue is often.
times referred TO as Constitutionalism
vs.. Imperialism.
If we would retain our liberties and
constitutional rights unimpaired. we
cannot permit or tolerate at any time
or Tor any purpose, the arrogation OF
unconstitutional powers by the eNecu-
tive branch OF our government We
should be ever mindful OF the words OF
webster, Liberty is only to be pre-
served by maintaining Constitutional
restraints and just divisions of political
powers
Already the national government has
become centralized beyond any point
contemplated or imagined by the franz
ers or the Constitution. How tremend-
ously all this has added to the power
or the President II has developed
from year to year until Il almost equals
that OF many monarchs. While the
growth of our country and the magni-
tude Of Interstate interests may seem
TO furnish plausible reason for this
Capitalization of power, yet these same
facts AFFORD the most potent reason why
the executive should not be permitted
ments of the government, and assume
legislative, or other powers. not ex-
pressly conferred by the Constitution
The magnitude of the country and
its diversity OF interests and popula-
tion would enable a determined, ambi-
tious and able executive unmindful Of
constitutional limitations and fred
with the lust OF power. TO go far In the
usurpation OF authority and the
Acknowledgement of personal power be-
fore the situation could be fully appre-
ciated or the people be aroused.
The Issue of Imperialism which has
been thrust upon the country involves
n decision whether the law of the land
or the rule Of individual caprice shall
govern. The principle or Imperialism
may give rise to brilliant, startling,
dashing results. but the principle OF
Democracy holds I'm check the brilliant
Executive and subjects him to the so
Der. conservative control of the people
The people Of the United States stand
at the parting Of the ways Shall We
follow the footsteps OF our fathers
along the paths OF peace. prosperity
and contentment guided by the ever
living spirit OF the Constitution which
they framed for us, or shall we go
along other and untried paths. hitherto
Bhunned by all, following blindIy new
ideals. which. though appealing with
brilliancy to the imagination and am
bition, may prove a will o. the wisp,
leading us into difficulties from which
IL may be impossible to extrlcate our
selves without lasting injury to our
national character and institutions?

NO EXCUSE FOR EXTRAVA-
GANCE.

Can there be any doubt of
the accuracy OF this statement? Be-
tween the expenditures OF the year
1856, amounting TO $2t2, 900 600 and
those OF tho last fiscal year-the sew
enth after Grover Cleveland ceased TO
be t-aggregating S5S2, 900 900,
there Is difference 40 great as TO ex-
elite alarm I'm the breasts OF all thought
tul men. Even excluding the sum OF
SJS100000 paid for the Panama Canal
riRlts and To the state OF Panama. the
expenditures of the last fiscal year eX-
ccoded the sum Of S532 900 600 being
more than double the expenditures OF
the government for all purposes dur
Ing the first year OF Mr.. Cleyeland's
odwinFtraiCn
expenses OF the first four years
succeeding The last Democratic admin
istrat!on amounted TO the enormous
average Of S5ll 600 600 per year. This
large expenditure was due TO con-
siderable extent TO tho cost OF the
Spanish American War, which oc-
curred during that period: but the
termination OF that war brought no
relief 10 the Treasury. for the average
annual expenses OF the government.
during the three subsequent years end
Ing June 80. 1904. were about s519,-

GENTLEMEN:
In my response 20 your Committee. at

referred TO some matters not men
toned in this letter. desire that these
be considered as Incorporated herein,
and regret that lack OF space prevents
specific reference 10 them all. / wish
here, however, again to refer 20 my
views there expressed as to the gold
standard. to declare again my unquali-
ned belief in said standard. and TO ex-
press my appreciation of the action OF
the Convention in reply to my COM
munication upon that subject.
Grave public questions are pressing
Tor decision. The Democratic party
appeals TO the people with confidence
that its position on these questions
Will be accepted and endorsed at the
polls. While the issues involved are
numerous. some stand forth pre-emi-
nent In the public mind. Among these
are: Tarfff Reform Imperialism, Eco
nomical Administration and Honesty
In the Public Service. l shall briefly
consider these and some others within
the necessarily prescribed limits OF this
