THE PHILIPPINES.
Republican Policy IL In Line with
Territorial Precedent-.


-Four years ago the Democratic par
ty denounced the acquisition on the Phil
ippine Islands by the United States as
a dangerous form of national expansion
and their retention as an application OF
militarism. The only logical conclusion
OF this position was our immediate re-
tirement from the Islands, leaving them
TO shift for themselves. In his letter ac-
cepting the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent in 1900 Mr. Roosevelt commented
on this position SIS follows:
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling imperial
ism or militarism involved in the present
development OF that policy of expansions.
which has been part of the history of
America from the day when she became
nation. The words mean absolutely
nothing as applied to our present policy
in the Philippines, for this policy is only
inperialistic in the sense that Jeffersor's
policy ia Louisiana was imperialistic;
only military in the sense that Jackson's
policy towards the Seminoles or Clusters
towards the Sioux embodied militarism:
and there is no more danger of its pro-
ducing evil results ut home now than
there was OF its interfering with free
dom under jefferson or Jackson, or in
the days of the Indian wars on the
plains.
THE only certain way of rendering
it necessary for our Republic to enter
on a career Of 'militarisin' would be to
abandon the Philippines to their own
tribes. and at the same time either to
guarantee a stable government among
these tribes or TO guarantee them against
outside interference. A far larger army
would be required to carry out any such
policy than will be required to secure
order under the American flag; while
the presence of this flag ON the Islands
il really the only possible security against
outside aggression. Properly
er we shall expand--for we have already
expanded-but whether we shall con-
tract"
That was the Issue four years ago.
Now the Democratic platform says:
we believe with Jefferson and John
Adams. that no government has a right
to make one set of laws for those at
home and another and a different set Of
laws. absolute IN their character. for
those in the colonies. We insist
that we ought TO do for the Filipinos
what we have already done for the
tCubans."
There has never been time since
the formation OF the government that
Congress has not made one set of laws
| for the States and another set for the
| territories. The laws enacted by Con-
gress for the government OF the Philip
pines are no more absolute than those
which have been enacted during the last
| hundred years for our various territories.
| The demand that the United States
shall do for the Filipinos what it has
done for me Cubans is unreasonable. We
never claimed to own Cuba, but we pos
sess the Philippines by an undisputed
title. A Republican administration did
entire justice to Cubs as demanded by
the circumstances Of the case. and the
Republican party can he depended upon
to do entire justice TO the Philippines.

THE PRODlGAL PARTY.

The Democratic party Is like a certain
son which wandered off into far coun-
try aud filled his belly with the husks
which the swine did eat But when he
came TO himself he said ! will arise and

now seen the light and | hope 10 be re-
stored through good behavior to my for
mer place in the confidence Of the folks
at home and decent people generally.
That Is 10 say, the Democratic party
could be conscientiously likened 10 the
prodigal son II ii had acted on the lines
just laid down. But the attitude II nc
tually assumes is something entirely diff
ferent Without explaining or reprobxt-
ing his actions Of 1896 and 1900 when

They are coming. the less fortunate.

Certain laws have been enacted under
the regime OF the Republican party, and
the manner in which they are being en-
forced illustrates. as well as could be.
the earnestness of the present admins
tration. in allowing the fltering into this
country. in all generosity. of those who
seek better harbor for what there is in
life. 1t is but fair to the Republican
party in this campaign that every voter
should think of all that the party has
done in the enactment of laws and the
enforcement Of them, in all hberality. as
to perfecting the immediate business well
fare OF the country aud as to controlling
the amalgamation of It's future blood.
This is one of the side issues of the
campaign TO which the attention of every
voter may well be directed.

When New York State was being got

put on guard for Parker one Of his own
men, Cord Meyer by name. Cord Meyer
is the sugar trusts representative in
Democratic councils. The Republican
party is able TO get along without having
a sugar trust representative in its coun-
ellis. but il Democrats come into power.
il will be Cord Meyers happy duty 10

New York Stock Exchange and TO let
II be known 20 anxious statesmen when
II is going up and wheh il Is going down.
DO the people out West know that In
New York, when the Democrats desire to
carry an election, they 40 out and tell
the district leaders that certain stock
on the New York Stock Exchange say
Manhattan Elevated. will 90 up $l5 per
share in case OF Democratic success !?
That is what they do. and il does 10 MP,
too. and that shows how close the Demo
cratic party is to Wall street in New
York, where Parker and his cohorts come
from. They buy elections with stock
tips. and Cord Meyer. Billy Sheehan and
Belmont are extraordinarily good tip
sters.
