J BENEFITS OF EXPANSION. a Tlie Original Thirteen Stales us ComI pnreil with Our PreMent Territory. ! by k. w. iskadlf.\. IUekatr. "Resolved that further annexation of territory is not lor the best interests of the American people." Before Hie Palmetto Literary Society, May 23, 19ck?. ] Mr. President an<1 11otiorable Judges : 1 have been appointed on tbenegatlveof this question to defend our expansive policy. There Is r.o nation, well governed, but has i two political partlen. One liberal, tbe other I conservative. In Home were 1'leblans and ft Parricians. in England Whigs and Tories i?nd M in the United states today are expansionists | (and anti-expansionist*. The expansionist are liberal tlie anti-expansionists conservative. We all know tbat the liberal party is defined as not being bound by established doctrines and the conservative, as preserving from ruin. So between the weight of these two political parties, balancing against each other, the great wheel of government is kept in perpetual motion. Tlieanti expansionist "party in America serves to keep the ex pan-1 slonlsts from making changes too radical, .and tbe expansionist party serves to keep our doctrines true to the republic they adorn ? aud to remind us that doctrines are made for countries and not countries tor doctrines. | Honorable Judges, we are an expanding nation. We descend from expansionist forefathers. The sun that gleamed on the battle axe of Alaric lit a race of expansionists; it sets to-day in America and its last beam falls on an expansionist. This expansive spirit instilled by God himself in the hearts of our barbarian forefathers my opponents would blud down to these narrow limits. But I say rather ."Seek to bind the almighty arm of -Kolus with cobwebs''or,"With ropes of sand to think to curb the powerful How of the Mississippi." ' The ITuited States is yet a young nation; but she has already expanded to several times her original thirteeu states. When we bought Louisiana some of the objections were that the territory could never become states because the Union was already too extensive. Yet the star-spangled Banner bears lorty five stars In the field of blue. And one of our illustrious orators of to-day has said that there is no hope of augumentlng that number to represent an Asiatic race, twelve thousand miles from home. It takes uu two mouths to make the trip there and back, yet whenjweannexedCalifornia, it took six months to cross the continent, aud there Is a star in the field of blue to represent the Golden State. I believe the United Statss is as divinely commissioned as any nation. I believe it Is the nivina Will that this Footstool of God shall be peopled by a race that fears blm, ana I believe that Civilization and Christianity Bball Join hands ana envelop the globe and that it shall be under tbeStar-spaugled Banner. Now, Honorable Judges, I drift from the subject a little to show yon that our expansions of to-dav are no worse than our expansions of long ago. And here 1 would like to make a few statements about the l'hilipines. It seems we regard Aguilaldo as a kiud ot ! George Washington, struggling for his own and bis country's freedom, and oppressed by the United States. But 1 believe that he is an lmposteron America and on the PhilllI pines. He has not hesitated to burn the vil\ lages and take the lives of his own country[ men. And whv ? Because they would not bend the knee to blm. From eastern Europe, to the Pacific the Himalayas have kept their Nolemn watch over races and tribes that have / never known what liberty means. Since the t days of Senacherlb the eastern nations have had despotic rule. And II the Filipinos ever have otherwise it will be under the protection of the American Eagle. The report that Aguinaldo was at the head of twelve thou| sandarmed Insurgents was a mistake, maue by our consul when Admiral Dewey went to Manila. Theadmlral himself gave them arms seeing that lu case of hostilities with Spain, they would be useful to us. But he did not recognize their Independence and in fact they had none. On May '26. he cabled the Secretary of Navy, that in obedience to his orders, he had not entered an alliance with any faction In the islands. And he is the only man who had authority. Nqw, Honorable Judges, if the Filipinos have won Independence, I would like to hear who they won it from. No one who had the authority to do so entered an alliance nod ihum Iiifit ns witn mem. vjui sticini' ?-v_, j? ? the British used the Hessians in 1776, as merclnaries. If they had won independence from Spain, then they would have been recognized as free and fndependent by her and not Bold to the UDited states as dependencies. shall they win It from us ? Belter meu than they have tried. Our fathers remember the time when eleven of the stales of tblB Union declared they no longer belonged to it. They took up arms to defend their questioned rights and then ensued the bloodiest war In my oplDlon of which Mother Earth has ever drunk the blood. Yet today they are a part and a most important part of the Union. The Filipinos are no better than the North American Indians who roamed the continent when we gained our Independence. We did not ask their leave to drive them across the Rocky Mountains. When we bongbt Florida, of Spain, we did not ask the Indian Chiefs, o come under our rule. We did not Bay the land was theirs, and we would in ' no wise deny their right. We said the land was ours because we had bought it of Spain, and that we would keep it at the point of the bayonet. Honorable Judges, suppose we bad left it with the western Indians to come un* der the laws of the United States. Would we own the West to day? Yet these Ited Men liml hh divine :i rlicht to this Iiuid as the Filipinos Imvu to their IkIiukIh, h?<1 they were far more free aud Independent. It seems strange that these lied Men should be driven Iron) their homes by a Christian nation. Is it right? Yes! It is simply a repetition of the expansions of Joshua and the Children ol Israel. But does the same power rule the affairs of men to-day as did thousands of years B.C.? I believe every American loves to think that the swelling ot the Catawba was ' the hand of Providence intertering In behalf ?/ of the colonials. No greater miracle was worked in behalf of the Children of Jacob w,hen they marched on a dry path where the great walls of the Red Sea were held at the command of Moses's stall, than when our fathers crossed the Yadkin and then the unchained elements heaved her lloods until their enemy was checked. This nation we see perplexed over her foreign trade. About three years ago this was apparent, yet no one could oft'er a remedy. Rnssia seemed certain to monopolize the trade of China. Then the Maine was sunk In Havana harbor. No one saw any good that nsvmo tn no from Kiieh a o_?t?nfroE>he. Yet hardly had the sulphurous fumes of war cleared when appeared to those, who had trusted the future of our nation to Providence, a way of opening up our trade In the east by becoming an eastern power. The nations of Europe marvelled at our deliverance. It Is plain to every one that thus opening up our trade In the east la beneflclal If It Is right. We cannot deny, it seems the arm of God is laid bare for our ransom. Metbiuks I hear the restless spirit of Thomas Jellerson as he sees the misgiving of the American People, and says, "What fools ye mortals be! to doubt the Providence that has so long guided you." It seems like the doubt ot a common infidel, who gazing Into the mystic depths of the clear dome of heaven, watching the twitching, twinkling, of those tiny eyes of heaven, and sees in it all a mere falling out of chance. Perhaps he will believe when looking through a telescope he sees, not tiny dots of light, but innumerable millions of worlds revolving and moving In ceaseless evolutions, Ringing through ethereal space. Not the Milky Was as a path of ghosts, but a liver of tens of millions of suns, each holding in despotic sway its separate system. Honorable Judges, it Is clear that opening up our trade in the east is beneficial to the American workman by giving him the advantage of all markets. We know that his Interests is America's interest. I do not believe that we have been free and independent for more than a century to become the home of tyrants and oppressors. in the words of another (Henry W. Grady) I say, "Bending down as Kllsha did, praying that my eyes may be made to see, I catch the vision of this grand republic.all her forces in balance, plenty stream lug from her borders, light from her mountain tops, working out her mission here under God's approving eye, till the dark continents are opened, the highways of the earth established, the Jargon of the nations stilled, the perplexities of Babel straighted. Then under one language, one liberty, one God, all the nations of the earth hearkening to the American drumbeat and girding up their loins shall march in the paths of righteousness aud in the paths of peace." THE TRUTH. Tlie Columbia Kecor?l DlagnoMes the C?Me. Cnlnmhla It in attempted to discount the splendid support McSweeney is receiving for re-election from South Carolina newspapers by saying lie is a newspaper map himself and It Is natural for the newspaper men to stand together, that their advocacy of McSweeney Is simply un exhibition of clannlsbncss. This plausible theory overlooks the fact that one of his competitors. Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, is also a veteran journalist and just as popular personally with his professional bretbren as the governor. So that theory will not hold water and a further search must be made to find the reason why so many papers are advocating a second term for McSweeney. The simple and natural explanation is not that they love Hoyt less nor McSweeney more, but that they tblnk McSweeney became governor at a trying time and succeeded in giving the state a business administration, which has not aroused the violent antagonisms provoked by the admlnstrations of several of his predecessors, and they think as a matter of simple Justice he is entitled to the endorsement of a second term.
