(Continued From Second Page.) ucated American farmers. On the other hand, the debt of the farmers to the manufacturers is equally heavy, and the future of American agriculture is bound up in the future of American manufactures. The two industries have become. under the economic policy of our govern:nent, so closely interwoven, so mutually in ter-dependent. that neither can hope t.) maintain itself as the high-water mark of progress without the other. Whatever makes to the advantage of one is equally to the advantage of the other. Our opponents promise indepen dence to the Philippine islands. Here again we are confronted by the fact that their irreconcilable differ ences of opinion among themselves. their inability to create a construc tive policy when in power, and their readiness, for the sake of momen tary political expediency, to abandon the principles upon which they have insisted as essential, conspire to puz zle us 'as to whether they do or do not intend in good faith to carry out this promise if they are given control of the government.. In their plat form they declare for independence, apparently-for their language is a little obscure-without qualifications as to time: and indeed a qualifica tion as to time is an absurdity, for we have neither right nor power- to bind our successors when it is im possible to foretell the conditions which may confront them: while if there is any principle involved in the matter, it is just as wrong to deny in depend-ence for a few years as to deny it for an indefinite period. But in later and equally official utterances by our opponents the term self-gov ernment was substituted for indepen dence; the words used being so chos en that in their mutual construction they described precisely the policy now being carried on, The language of the platform indicated a radical change of policy: the later utterances indicated a continuance of the pres ent policy. But this caused trouble in their own ranks; and in a still later, although less formal, utterance, the self-government promise was re canted, and independence at some fu ture time was promised in its place. They have occupied three entirely different positions within fifty days. Which is the promise they really in tend to keep? They do not know their own minds; and no one can tell how long they would keep of the same mind, should they by any chance come to a working agreement among themselves. If such ambiguity af fected only the American people it would not so greatly matter; for the American people can take care of themselves. But the Filipinos are in no such condition. Confidence is with them 'a plant of slow growth. They have been taught to trust the word of this government because this government has promised nothing which it did not perform. If it prom ised independence they will expect independence: not in the remote fu ture, for their descendants, 'but im mediately, for themselves. If the promise thus made is not immediate ly fulfilled thiey will regard! it as, broken, and will not again trust to American faith; and it would be in deed a wicked thing to deceive them in such fashion. Moreover, even if - the promise was made to take effect only in the distant future, the Filipi nos would be thrown in confusion 'thereby. Instead of continuing to endeavor to fit themselves for moral and material advancement in the pres ent, they would abandon all effort at progress and begin factional in-, trigues for future power. To promise to give them indepen dence when it is "prudent" to do so, or when they are "fit" for it, of course implies that they are not fit now, and that it would be imprudent to give it to them now. But as we ourselves be the judges as to when they become "fit." and when it would be "prudent" to keep 'such a promise if it were made, it necessarily follows that to make such a promise now would amount to a deception upon the Filipinos. It may be that our opponents have no real intention of putting their 'promise into effect. 'If this is the case, if. in other words, they are in-i sincere in their promise they make, it is only' necessary to say again that it is unwise to trust men wvho are false in one thing to deal with any thing. The mere consciousness of broken faith would hamper them in continuing our policy in the islands: and only by continuing unchanged this policy can the honor of the coun try be maintained, or the interests of the islands subserved. If. on the other hand, our opponents came into power and attempted to carry out their promises to the Filipinos by giving them independence, and with drawing American control from the islands, the result would be fright ful calamity to the Filipinos them selves, and -ts larger aspect would amount to an international crime. Four years ago, in his speech of acceptance President McKinley said: "We have been moving in untried paths, but our steps have been guid ed by honor and duty. There will be no turning aside, no wavering, no retreat. No blow has been struck except for liberty and human itv. and none will be. We wll per form without fear every national and international obligation. The repub lican party was dedicated to free dom forty-four years ago. It has been the party of liberty and emanci pation from that hour; not in profes sion, but of performance. It broke the shackles of four million slaves, and made them free, and to the party of Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity which it has bravely met in the liberation of tcn millions of the human family from the yoke of imperialism. In its solution of great problems, in its performance of high duties, it has had the support of members of all parties in the past. and it confidently invokes their co operation in the future." This is as true now as four years ago. We did not take the Philip pines at will, and we cannot put them aside at will. Any abandonment of the policy which we have steadily pursued in the islands would be franght with dishonor and disaster; and -to such dishonor and disaster I do not believe that the American peo ple. will consent. Our appeal is made to all good citi zers who hold the honor and the in terest of the nation close to their hearts. The great issues which are at stake, and upon which I have touched, are more than mere partisan issues, for they involve much that comes home to the individual pride and individual well-being of our peo ple. If our opponents should come in and should not reverse our policies, then they would be branded with the brand of broken faith, of false prom ise. ,of insincerity in word and deed; and no man can work to the advan tage of the nation with such a brand clinging to him. If, on the other hand they should come in and re verse any or all of our policies, by just so much would the nation as a whole be damaged. Alike as law makers and as administrators of the law we have endeavored to do our duty in the interest of the people as a whole. We make our appeal to no class and to no section, but to all good citizens, in whatever part of the land they dwell, and whatever may be their occupation of worldly condition. We have striven both for civic righteousness and for national greatness; and we have faith to be lieve that our hands will be upheld by all who feel love of country and trust in the uplifting of mankind. We stand for enforcement of the law and for obedience to the law; our government is a government of or derly liberty equally alien to tryanny and to anarchy; and its foundation stone is the observance of the law, alike by the people and by the public servants. We hold ever before us as the all-important end of policy and administration the reign of peace at home and throughout the world; of peace, which comes only by doing justice. Faithfully yours, Theodore Roosevelt. .Teacher Wanted. Male principal wanted to teach the Chappells school. Salary, $50 per month. Session, eight months. School begins October 1st.
