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.
