D6opl#iinta ttie present day. it Is u new
uesflon to AnSfcrlcaus. It Is a question as
o whether tbeXJnlted States of America will
* an empliMlfr remain a free republic, and
B fhe course" dT jmy remarks I will prove what
tfave said. '
l^t us first consider the trade and commeroe
if the territories. I will take first the Phlllpilnes
as tUey are 6aid to be the "golden gato"
o the oriental trade. The latest statistics
how that the entire trade of the Philippines,
eluding imports and exports, amounts to
tot more tbau $30,0(H),000 annually. For the
ear 1896 the imports from tbe Philippines
nto Great Britain, France, Germany and the
Juited States and the other leading countries
mounted to $19,702,819. The exports to the
'hlllpploes for the same year amounted to
9,174,093. So, it we should control the whole
rade of these Istauds, unless It should wonlerfcilly
increase, it would not pay one-third
be efpense of maintaining our army and
lattMP that quarter ot the globe.
jpi said that the Philippines will form a
MHAMtrour tra<le,ln the ea^t ami especially
HM?: i Insist, Mr. President, Hint this can
m&ffutied without the American people asutiitDg
Iheareat burden of this lorelgu terilorj
and Xj&Mlst further that this trade lias
>een over estimated. The total import aud
izport trad?.of China for one year does not
iSOBQidt$968,000,000. Now, If the United Slates
?oelv?d every dollar o! this as prollt, bow
loeff the Bcoount stand ? For the year 1901
eootDaoeiljaed appropriations for our army
jre?128.000.000;_and for our navy $75,000,000, a
otal of saoa.000,000. taking no account oi the
he pensions Incident to theSpanlsh aud Philppine
Wars. Add to this the past cost of the
?ar, f250,000,000. aud allow for the commerce
if the Philippines and Porto Klco, $80,000,000
vhtcb counts every cent of this as profit, and
ve find that we come out behind $170,000,000.
But the army and navy must be increased.
Vn army and navy sufficient lor the require
aents. with the increase of pensions, civil
overnmeut, etc., will add to the cost of runilng
the government $500,000,000. or twice as
rhat it cost us in 1897 beiore the SpanishAmerican
war. or twice, as much as all the
ommerce of China, the Philippines, Porto
licoand Hawaii, if we received every dollar
if their commerce to the exclusion of every
ither commercial power in the world.
The statistics again sbow that there has

inder the policy of imperialism pursued by
'resident MeKlnley. oi S801,rl3y,69s.7U: or as a
t distinguised gentleman bus .said, " an iuirease
In three years over what the approprilon
would have been but for the change,
rom a republic to an empire, of over SSOU.IHX),iK)."
Think of It! An increase of over $80,iw.000,
per annum. The Imperialist cry, we
on't care lor money ! Neither do the antl
imperialists, but when our government exends
money we like tosee somegoodderived
rom it; and what benefit have we derived
rom this unholy war? Is an increase of exlenses
of S3Ul,f:i!),(i'.iK.7U annually a benefit ? Is
t to our best interests to have true Amerlau
soldiers, whose blood Is as gold, to be
ilac^d In foreign lands where disease Is more
extractive than war? I think not, Mr. Presllent,
I think not.
It has also been urged by some lnconslder,te
people that we could have a profitable cotou
trade In the Philippines, and that It
eould be wise to send our coal to New Castle,
living in a warm climate these people have
veiy little need lor clothing or coal, but they
can produce cotton though, and with the
Jblnese, Japanese and Malay labor ihey can
uanufacmre this cotton, paylug 5 or lOcts., a
lay tor their operatives. How then could
his benefit New England, .South Carolina,
Jeorgln, or in any other State In which the
nanulacturlng ol cotton goods is a paying lnlustry.
Mr. President, it Las been said that Amcrica
las always been expanding, that Jefferson
vas an expansionist. I believe tbl6 Is true,
>llt Mr. President, there Is a difference beurpfin
oxtmnsion and imnerialism. as another
ms Haul, "no one but a blind man should have
iny difficulty in distinguishing between the
xpansion ol Jefferson and the imperialism
>f McKlnley: oue wan the natural evolutioniry
growth of the republic, the other is a for;lgn
fungus that. If not removed, will sap the
lie of the republic," All the territory pur:hased
up to this time was contiguous terri,ory,
and acquired by the consent of the peosle
for the purpose of making states of the
Union. Therefore the territory heretofore
iuni-xed was a homogeneous and contiguous
jxpanslon with a view that the territory
would be admitted eventually to statehood
ind citizenship. Hut wheu we go off the
American continent for territory?yea ten
ihousaud miles away?it is not American expansion,
but Imperialism.
President Mokinley said that expansion by
force is " criminal aggression." Yet what are
Lbe leaders of this policy doing but forcing
Killpplnos, the Porto Rlcans, the Cubaus and
ill to submit to this government ?
Mr. President, this policy that the American
people are now entering upon Is imperialism
ind nothing less. Now let us see what has
happened to other free republics that sought
Imperial destiny.
The republics of Greece were strong until
onforoH nr?nn ;l nnH/?v nl Imnurlollufu
anil Invaded the Persian fempire. Jn the
{lorloiiK vlctoriesof Alexander came imperial
Jestiny, but with it the extinction ol Greek
liberty, and the decline of the power of the
Itt-publlcH.
The name story Is found upon the pages of
[toman history. Home, having growu stroug,
listened to that voice which spoke of wealth,
jf extension of power and expansion of territory.
Home ro*e to the height of power,
[tome was the mistress of both land and sea,
but In tbo hour ol her greatest glory came
ilso the first note to the Koman citizen of the
loss of his greatest privilege, " for no nation
sver yet robbed a weaker people of their
rights of self government than In the end
the fate of Providence did not cause the
blow to rebound and strike the perpetrators
ol' the outrage."
These, It may be said, are ancient examples,
but go on down to modern times, take the
Kingdom of Spain. Spain, who was once the
most poweful nation in Europe; Spain who
iictated the very policy of the continent
when in league with Imperial Uermany,
ipaln who sought in all quarters of the ulobe.
Bast and West, toenlarge herareaof dominion
lo get wealth and power, yet where does Spain
*tuud today ? She Is a wreck before the civilized
world, No nation will bow to her honor.
England has often been pointed to as the
me great power who has established the doctrine
that colonies or annexation, as we call
It, can he used to an advantage, but when we
carefully consider it, we find that the colonial
_ .1 # (/....lniwl hue unri toil! #,
policy "I ? ..... wv a
(jowitlve disadvantage to lier. Hhe once owned
the American colonies, but on account of her
tyranlcal ru 1?-, they pulled from ibe oppressive
voke mid indicted upon her a wouud that
itltu:s her today. Since then the spirit of colini/.atloi)
bus proceeded togrow, and England
has grabbed all the land she could get. 8be
stormed India and brought the poor Inhabitants
under her yoke. And sir, what has been
the result? When she sends her numerous
army, arrayed In all its pomp and glory. Into
South Africa to deprive a free and liberty loviug
people of their right*, she awakens from

sk trade so far and we

I the dream of her power, because she finds
that corruption baa eaten to the very heart of
ine empire ana ner army, sue thought still Invincible,
like that of Cromwell, has been defeated
time and again by Oom Paul Krueger's
llttl* band of patriotic Boers.
Now, Mr. President, we do not want any
juch calamity to befall this republic, [f we
enter upon a career of acquisition we shall
find tbe end will be a disaster and tbe destruction
of a Republican form of government. It
Is impossible for us to maintain a republican
form of government over so large an area of
territory. The war of secession, one of the
bloodiest wars that was ever fought, was
brought on because the Interests of tbe South
was not the Interests of the North.
Sectionalism was Involved. Bo, I say.
that which is for the Interests of
iir will, ninety-nine times oat of a hundred,
not be the interest of the anexed territories,
and thus our interests will be antagonistic
Just as ihey were before tbe war of
secession and will result In trouble and wars
without end and the destruction of our free
government. My opponents, no doubt, will
say that I am prophesying, but it is only with
the history of tbe past that you can foretell
the future, and as tbe poet says:
The boast of heraldy, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave
Await alike tbe Inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to tbe grave.
I believe that further annexation ofterrltory
will be a calamity to the Americas people
Instead of a benefit. We bave Ignored the
Declaration of iDdependance and the Monroe
Doctrine. Then when the glorious principled
for which our forefathers bled andaied to obtain
are so carelessly disregarded, bow can -It
be to the best interestof the American people?
We are told that "whatsoever a man sow*
eth that shall he surely reap." Then, If we
deprive others of tbelr rights, what can we
expect for ourselves? If we conquer other
people, take their territory and force them to
our government, we may expect to be served
the same waj 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 into 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 aggresgresslon,"
no people will believe in any r' profession
of virtue or generosity" we may put
forth. It will be booted down the world over
as hypocrisy and greedy schemes.
Mr. Presldeut, the imperialists cry in a lond
voice, who will haul down the flag? I reply
no one, but the oneB who hauled it np?the
true and free people of this great republic.
But the American people should haul it down
and bring it back when it becomes the em
Diem 01 conquest, ana oppreswon.
I trust that It may never float over a codquered
and alien people I trust-it may,never
float over any people only In the spirit of Jove
and reverence. %
By pursuing a policy like this, by olinglDg
to the principles of the founders ol the Republic,
by maintaining the Integrity and spirit of
our Institutions, by keeping free from all
foreign complications and influence, we will
keep t hat flag as the emblem ota free republic
In all its purity, respecting the principles for
which our forefathers fought in 1776, and
which we should an must transmit unstained
to our posterity.
