Out of the Array. Talking Freel>
and Tolling liis Idea of the
1 )emocra1 ic Burly Policy.
Savannah, (it., December lit.
To day Col. William .J. Bryan,
upon leaving hi* command, the
."nl Nebraska regiment, gave tin
following interview:
"My reason for leaving tin
array was set forth in my lottei
to the adjutant general tcnde'injj
ray resignation. Now that tin
treaty of peace has been conclude!
1 believe that J can be more use
ful to toy country as x civiliat
than a soldier."
Colonel Rryan then proceeded
to the discussion of public questions,
Haying:
"The people of the United
State# having rescued Cuba from
foreign control, mat now resume
the discussion of the doincslii
problems which confront thi*
nation and turn to the consideration
of the naw questions arising
out of the war.
"I may be in error, but, in my
judgment, our nation ia in greater
danger just now than Cuba. Our
people defended Cuba against foreign
arms: now they must defend
themselves and their country
against a foreign idea?the colonial
idea of European nations.
Heretofore greed has perverted
the government and used its instrumentalities
for private gain,
but now the very foundation principles
of our government are assaulted.
"The imperialistic idea is directly
autag' nistic to the idea and
ideals which have been choriahad
by tho American people aince the
signing of the Declarationc-f Independence.
Our nation must give
up aav intention of entering upon
a colonial policy, (such as is now
pursued by European countries)
or it must abandon tho doctrine
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the
governed.
"Wo may believe that govern
merits come up from the people or
we may believe that governments
come down to the people from
those who possess the heaviest
cannons and the l*rire*t ships, but
wp can not advocate both doctrine*.
"I'o borrow a Bible ({dotation,

Bryan said:
"Some think tba! the ti ht
should he made u^niiiht ihe rati,
lieution of the treaty, but I would
prefer another plan. If the treaty
i* rejected negotiation* must he
renewed, and instead of bottling
the (piestion according to our idea*
ne must ?ettle it h?v diplomacy,
i with the posfcihility of international
complications. Jt will he
i easier, 1 think, to end the war at
jonco by ratifying tho treaty and
: then deal with the subject in our
> own way. The issue can lie proi
rented directly hy a resolution of
congress declaring the podcy of
i the nation upon tbi>; subject. The
president says in his message that
I Our only purpose in taking possession
of ("aha is to establish a
j stable government and tlu-n turn
[ that government over to the people
of Cnba. ( ongress e-ouM re,1
atlYim this purpose in regard to
, jCuba and assert the same purpose
( in regard to the Philippine islands
ami Pot to Rico. Such rosolu.jtion
would make a clear cut issue
between ths doctrine of self <rovernment
and the doctrine of imperialism.
We should reserve a
harbor and a coaling station in
Porto Rico and the Philippines in
return for services rendered, .and
i 1 think wo would be justified in
asking the same concession from
i Cuba.
"Ia the case of Porto Rico,
where the people have ss yet exi
pressed no desire for an independent
government, we might with
! propriety declare our willingness
! to annex the island if the citizens
j desire annexation, hut the Philip,
pine islands are too far away und
i their people too different from
(ours to be annexed to the Cnited
States, even if they desired it.'"
Col. Brvan leaves Savannah tonight
for Washington, D. C.,
and will arrive there Wednesday
afternoon, lie intends to enter
actively into the light againat ths
I colonial policy. In fact it is avident
that this was the main cause
! that led to hi* resignation.
