In Advocating the Doctrine of Expansion He Declares that It is Not a Political Question?Some Discussion on the Financial Bill. Washington, February 28.?Notwithstanding the agreement made bv the Senate to vote on the Hawaiian %! government bill at today's sessioD, the final vote on the measure was postponed until 4 o'clock tomorrow. Practically no progress was made on the bill today, although it was under consideration nearly four hours. Mr. Aldrich explained the conference work on the financial measure. One of the amendments authorizing the gold reserve to be held in bullion as well as in gold coin was added because the facilities for the coinage of gold would not at present admit of coining the gold in sufficient quantity at all times the reserve in gold coin. The provision prohibiting the use of bond sale proceeds to pay current government expenses was due to the apprehensions of the House confreers that a so called endlesa chain might be established. He said the authority to suspend the issue of certificates where United States notes arid silver certificates in the general fund exceed $60,000,000 was simply another way of protecting the reserve. The issue first of silver certificates of small denominations was to avoid any possible contraction of the currency. The additional coinage $20,000,000 of the subsidiary silver was to meet expected later needs of our island possessions. The authority for banks to issue one-third of their circulating Dotes in denominations of $5 wa3 agreed to because banks in remote parts of the country a.-eded a good deal of currency in small bills to accommodate customers. Concerning the bimetallic amendment Mr. Aidriich said the position taken by the United States was that bimetaiism was now impossible except by international agreement. Mr. McLaurin of South Carolina was then recognized to speak on the Pnilippine question. He said: In the discussion of the question there has been manifested a dieposi tion to ignore the considerations by which we are confronted, and to project the debate upon a line of political eentimentalism. This mode of discussion is not only unpatriotic, but it is an invasion of the true issue. This is not a political question. Mr. McLaurin strongly deprecated the position which the Democratic party had taken in making the Philippine question and expansion a politcal issue. Ee pointed to the past to show that seme of the greatest Democrats that ever lived were expansionists and to prove by their acts and measures that had it not been for them the United States would not have been the nation it is today. Ke took the ground that the Philippines are rightfully and Iegallj ours by the treaty of P<tiis, and that the United States should hold them, affording the Filipinos every eppor tunity to acquire the art of govern ment and giving them all the powers and rights possible iu the circum stances. lie dwelt particularly or the great opportunities afforded bj the islands for trade between Ameii csds and the nations of the Orient He did not agree with some of hi< colleagues on the Democratic sid< that our trade in the Eist wa3a rncr< figment of the imagination. IL I quoted statistics to prove that the ex | perience of the last decade contra dieted those who asserted that oui Eastern trade was not of immens consequences. It is the O.ient, he said, lha we must look for markets. Ther j must be a change in our polic\ | We mast enter into actual com j petetioii for this trade. W ! must recognize changed condi | lions, and I believe that by holdinj i the Philippines our trade in th ' Orient will continue to increase unt; | ail surplus products for years t i come will find remunerative market I in the E ist. 2?lr. ilcLaurin then discussed th special interests of the South in tfc expansion of our trade. I am glad, said he to btlieve thr i 11 ? t IWI1U the Southern people have dttermined lo iDvesiigate and study this question rather than to be led blindly by political anti expansionists. The Southern farmer by the increased j price received for raw cotton last j year has become aroused. Fealty to | party and misleading information, I j fear, has produced among them opposition to territorial expansion. The effort has been made in my own State to suppress all information aDd * 1 4 ? ~ t nnmncf CT. arouse puouc geuiimeuo agaiuov pausion. Tbe frightful ghcst cf "imperialism" has been held up before the people of the South to frighten them, but I believe it is impossible much longer to mislead them. Mr. McLaurin said, in eketchiDg I the progress of the South during j the past twenty years, that the blight of negro suffrage and negro dominition had almost extinguished hope and energy and manly effort, \ but, like a giant bound with fetters, ! she aroused herself at last and again j started upou an era of industrial life. | Capital has flowed into that section, j said he. There is confidence in all Southern enterprise. The bitter memories of the past are being forgotten in the rush of the development cf our resources.' Our people feel that they are again a part of this great country and are It ft free and untrammeled to woik out their own destinj'. Our Southern manufacturers have all reached out to the markets of tbe Orient and discovered their advantages. The Southern ? i_ /? i ;Q farmer neeas suco marketo iui raw cotton to make its production remunerative. By the acquisition of the Philippines we hold the key to the Eastern situation. We need not rely sorely upon the treaty of rights to secure the unopen door, but can demand equal commercial opportunity with | other nations and if necessary, with j vantage ground we have, assert thut demand. Will the United States throw away the golden opportunity by giving up the Philippines? I am in favor of holding them, and I believe that the Southern farmers and ! manufacturers will sustain me in my I position. I believe, further, that the J presence of the United States and of its flag, the emblem of human freedom, progress and civilization, will j carry to millions in the Orient un- j numbered blessings which in the comiDg years will be for their betterment and amelioration and will conduce to the perpetuity and glory cf our free institutions and thecommerrtt.il cttnromcrv nf thf nation.
