'V' Essay Head Before the Palmetto . Literary Society. ' r rBY THOMAS LYON. | Mr. President, most honorable judges, aDd j ladles and gentlemen: I believe this is one ol the greatest question thai has ever confronted the American people, and I do not believe as the president (Hemphill) baa said. "that il con I runted .American people when the LoulaiajRiC .(fecrltory was ^nrohused. I do oOt^he^eeeabat it confronted tb>) American peocjmcflMs'^xax wasabnexed. 1 do noi he?6WB?^Fconrronted the American people i [)hn jmiflLl i was purchased, 1 do not beas ever confronted the Amerl cao^NflKuhtll the present day. It is a uev. Americans. It Is a question an loTMretWCT thrfUnlted Stales of America will I wko enoplrvlkr remain a tree republic, and In-lbe cttfarse w'my remarks 1 will prove what 'BJtS i-at consider the trade and commerce of the territories. 1 will lake Una ihe Philippines as they are- said to be the "golden gate'to the oriental trade. The latest statistics show that the entire trade of the Philippines, lnolndlng imports and exports, amounts to not more than $su,ouu,<kiU annually, l-'or the year JSKJO the import* irom the Philippines into Great Britain, France, Germany and the UnllaL&tateB aDd the other leading countries AtaoaBbMipNl9,7u2,sl!i. The exports to the PhiMnpRlfor tiie same year amounted to 9^f4pPPno, it we should control the whole tricte Of these islands, unless it should wonderfn'lly Increase, It would not pay one-third tha expense of maintaining our army and navyvm tbat quarter ot thegiobe. IwH said that the Philippines will form a bans toronr trade in the east and especially China.. 1 Insist, Mr. President, that this can Obtained without the American people assuming the great burden of this loreigu ter naiut fnfiht.r that thic I ruilo Itiiw riVUl J flU4U Jl VWlOb lUlbUV* 1UMV l.'.W V.MMV ..... been over-estimated. The total import aod export trade of China lor one year does not exceed ?25O,OO0;OOO. Now, If the United Stales received,every dollar of thl* an profit, bow does the account stand ? For the year 1901 recpmrnendecL appropriatious for our ariuy are 8128,000,000, and for our navy ?75,000,ooO, a total or 5208,000,000, taking no account ol the the pensions Incident to tbeSpanlsh aud Plillippine wars. Add lo this the past cost oi the war, S250i000,000. and allow lor tbe commerce of tbe Philippines aud Porlo Klco, $.80,000,001) which counts every cenlol this as profit, and we find that we come out behind $170,000,000. But the army and navy must be increased. An army and navy sufficient lor the require meuts. with the Increase of pensions, civil government, etc., will add lo the cost of running the government $500,000,000. or twice as what it cost us In 1S07 beiore the SpanishAmerican war. or twice as much as all the commerce ol China, the Philippines, Porto Kicoand Hawaii, if we received every dollar ol their commerce lo the exclusion of every other commercial power in the world. The statistics again show that there has been an annual increase of our expenses under the policy of imperialism pursued by I'resldeut McKlnley- ol t.'JOM39,<>9&.70: or as a a distinguiscd gentleman has said, " an Increase In three years over what the appropriI tlon would have been but /or the change, from a republic to :iu empire, of over SSUO,OUO,000." Thtuk of it ! An Increase ol over S30,000 000, per annum. The imperialists cry, we don't care lor money! Neither do the auti j imperialists, out wueu our guvi-mmem rspends money we like losee somegood derived irom it; and what benefit have we derived from this unholy war? Is tin increase of expenses ol &iUJ,J:<!i,tiU$.70annually a benefit ? Is it to our best mleresis to have true American soldiers, who*e blood Is as gold, to be placed in foreign lands where disease is more destructive than war? I think not, Mr. President, I think not. It bus also been urged by some inconsiderate people that we could have a profitable cot ' tou trade In the Philippines, and that it would be wlsr to send our coal to New Castle. | i Living in a warm climate these people have very little need for nothing or cowl, but they i i chi) produce cottotj though, and with the! Chinese, Japanese and Malay labor I bey can | manufacture this cotton, paying S or hicts., a day lor their opeintives. How then could, this benefit New Kngiaud, .South Carolina, j Georgia, or in any other State in which the manufacturing ot cotton goods is a paying in-1 dustry. Mr. 1'resldenl, it I.as been said that America has always been expanding, Hint .Jellerson was an expansionist. I believe this is true, but Mr. President, there is a difference between expansion and Imperialism, as another has said, "no one but a blind man should have any diflicuity in distinguishing between the expansion ol Jellerson and the imperialism of McKinley: one was the natural evolutionary growth of the republic, the other is a foreigu fungus that, if not removed, will sap the lite of the republic,'' All the territory purchased up to this time was contiguous territory, and acquired by the consent of the people for the purpose of malting states of the L'nlon. Thereiore the territory heretofore aunexed was a homogeneous and contiguous expansion wltli >1 %iew that the territory ......ii,i in. ndriititi'd eventually to statehooil ami citizenship. Hut when we go ofl' the American continent for territory--yea ten I thousand milts away?It Ik not American expansion, but Imperialism. I'resident MoKiuley said that expansion by force is - criminal aggression." Vet what are the leaders ol tills policy doing but forcing Filippinos, the l'orto Uieans, the Cubans and all to submit to this government ? Mr. President, this policy that the American people are now entering upon is imperialism and nothing less. Now let uh see what has happened to other free republics that sought imperial destiny. The republics of Greece were strong until they entered upon a policy of Imperialism and invaded the Persian limpire. In the glorious victoriesof Alexander came Imperial destiny, but with it the extinction ol Creek liberty, and the decline of the power ot the Republics. The same story Is found upon the pages ol (toman history. Home, having grown strong, listened to that voice which spoke ot wealth, of extension of power and expansion of territory. Home ro?e to the height of power. Kome was the mistiest of both land and sea, but In the hour ot her greatest glory came also the lirst note to the Unman cit'zen of the loss of his greatest privilege, " lor no nation ever yet robbed a weaker people of their rights ol sell government than in Hie end the lale of Providence did not cause the bl>?w to rebound and strike the perpetrators of the outrage." These, it may be said, are ancient examples, bill gO Oil UIIWU IU lUUUCIN lliucn, ,??v Kingdom of Spain. .Spain, who was ouue the most powelul nation in Europe; Spain who dictated the very policy of the continent, when in league with imperial Uerinany, Spain who sought in all quarters of llui ulobe, Kast and West, to enlarge her area ol dominion to get wealth and power, yet where does Spain stand todayShe is a wreck before the civilly.ed world. No nation will bow to tier honor. Kugland lias often been pointed to as the one great power w|jo has established the does trine that colonies or annexation, as we call It.oan be used tomi advantage, tint when we carefully consider it, we lind that the colonial policy ol Kin-land has been and will be a positive disadvantage to her. She oneo owned the American colonies, but on account of her tyranical rule, they pulled from the oppressive yoke mid inflicted upon her a wound that stlnsjs her today. Since then t he spirit of col ini/.ation has proceeded tourow, and England has grabbed all tlie land she could get. She stormed India and bri.ii^lit the poor inhabl tants under her yoke. And sir, what has been t the result? When she sends her numerous , army, arrayed in all its pomp and glory, into ' South Africa to deprive a tree and liberty loving people of their rights, she awakens from ^ ^ VJ<? i Depar stimulate trade we wiJ 3r and tlie other as the ;s and on the other at HARG > for yourselves. Our S y their goods from us. sk trade so far and we ds at the lowest price trading with us, and t *%> ! I he dream of her power, because she flpds that corrupi Ion has eaten to the very heart ol the empiie and her army, the thought still Invincible, like that of Cromwell, h?n been de< feated lime and again by Oom Paul Ivrueger's lid In band of patriotic Boers. Now, Mr. President. we do not want any such calamity to belall this republic. If we enter upon a career of acquisition we Rball itudlheend will be a disaster and the destruction of a Kepubllcan form of government. It Is Impossible lor us to maintain a republican form of government over so large an urea ol territory. The war of secession, one of the ; bloodiest wars that was ever fought, was brought on because the interests of the South : was not the interests of Ihe North. Sectionalism was Involved. So. I say, I that which is for the interests ol ! us will, ninety-nine tiroes out of a hunj dred, not be the interest of the anexed terrl| torles, and thus our Interests will beantagoi nistie just as they were before the war ol ; secession and will result In trouble and wars | without end and tho destruction of our free ! government. My opponents, no doubt, will ; say that 1 am prophesying, but It is only with ] the history of the past that you can foretell ' the luture, and as the poet says: i The boast of heraldy. Ihe pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave Awaitalike the Inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave, v . I believe that further annexation otterrltory will be a calamity to the America^ people Instead of a benefit. We have fgnocw'tbe ^Declaration of Independance and the Monroe Doctrine. Then when the glorious principles for which our forefathers bled and died toobr tain are so carelessly disregarded, how can It De to tue oesi lnieresioi me americao peopiev We are told that "whatsoever a man soweth that shall he surely reap." Then, If we deprive others of their rights, what can we expect lor ourselves? If we conquer other | people, take their territory and force them to our government. we ruay expect to be served the Mime wa> some day, for the good book says, "with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again." If this great wrong, attempted by the imperialists, Is consumated, our moral credit with the world will be gone forever. Having started iuto the Spanish-American war with the solemn proclamation that It should be a war of liberation and not of conquest, and then, having turned that war Into one of land grabbing and self-confessed "criminal aggresgrcsslon," no people will believe In any " profession of virtue or generosity" we may put forth. It will be booted down the world over as hypocrisy and greedy schemes. Mr. President, the imperialists cry In a loud voice, who will haul down the flag? I reply no one, but the ones who hauled It up?the true and free people of thiB great republic. Hut the American people should haul ltdown and bring it back when it becomes the emblem of conquest and oppression. I I trust that it may never fl<iat over a conquered and alien people. I trust it may never iloat over any people only In the spirit of love I and reverence. ' ' By pursuing a policy like this, bv clinging to the principles of the founders ofthe Republic, by maintaining the integrity and spirit of our institutions, by keeping free from all foreign complications and lnfluenc*, we will keep that, flair as the emblem of a free republic In all its purity, respecting the principles for which our forefathers fought lu 1776, and which we should an must transmit unstained to our posterity. . , ...... ? - ?

If a child shows a marked distaste for any particular kiud of food, it is wrong to force it to eat that kind. Firstly, such enforced obedience creates ill feeling ; secondly, food which is disagreeable is likely to cause indigestion , and thirdly, there may be some organic idiosyncrasy which reuders that food obnoxious to the system. There is a ca9e on record of a man on | whom mutton seemed to act as a kind of irritant poison, and similar cases are not very rare. On the other haud. li a cut hi uas a strong ueaire lor auy kind of food it is unwise to deny it unless you cau show a very good reason for so doing, when you should tell the child that reason as simply as possible ; as, for instance, "No, dear, that will give you a pain inyour stomach, or make you sick." Never he misled into saying : "Such things are not good for little hoys mid girls," for chidren do not see why grown-up people should have , the good things which they are forbidden to enjoy. If however, you give a reason which at once appeals to their own experience of the order of nature j they are ready to recognize it as a j sound one. I How lo Transfer lleen.
