THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL VOL 1o.---N. - ICKENS S. C., THURSDAY, \\ A 1 ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. A RFPUB4I1C OR MONARCHY? DOCTRIt NI OF StLF'-GOVKRCH4Nl' The Dill'erelnce Between Imii perialisml and the Goveriilelt rum atled by Our Itevolutionary iFathers. Tho sp -(ch of Hon. Wa. J. Bryan in Columbia s one of the at'est olforts of this gifteo and accompished leader, and his c1 a ussion of the Philippine question merits a careful perusal in every household. Mr. Bryan spoke as follows : I want to speak for a little while about the Philippine (uestion. It is not surprising that tile party that favored- the income tax and favored bimetallism and oppo3ed industrial trusts should also stand by the princi pies upon which this government is founded and sbould o)poso the conver sion of a homogenous republic into a heterogenous empire. I say it is nlot, strange, but it is strange that the Ie publican party that thoug ht in 1i-M; that this country was not big enough to attend to its own business is now big enough to attend to the business of every other country in the World. Some who are in favor of the Imperial polLcy -hide behind the doetri ie, or. be hind the term, expansion biul tlere is dilference between expansion and imperialism. 10xpanslon descriues the extension of the limits o.' a repuli) : imperialism describe, an empi- e, wh iclh is a dilfcrent thing from a 1.( pblie - if you want to know the dilfert nce be tween a republic antd an tmlpire, let me state the di ferenb in it few words We bad 25,000 soldiers in the regular army in 1696. The Presi.d t,lt a:-kit for 100,000 in December, 0SiJ, and he asked for that increr.se two nlionths be fore there was an uprising in the Philippine islands. Why did we nc ed an army four times as great y Be cause the adminhitration was contem p lating an imlperiai poliey. What is the dilference between a republic and an empire ? Twenty-line thouand soldiers were enough for a rejubilic of 70,000,000 of people and it takes four timti.s as many soldiers or 1n empire with 10,000,000 more. This is the dif fereneo. Twenty-five thousanti jso:d it rt for 70,000.000 who govern tnemselv. but it take' 75,000 it) govern ight muillons without their coneent. llure we have a republic, ther - a military despotism. The 1ag 1. er'e standj fcr the rights of those wh ) pty the taxt s and have a voice in the laying of tm in, and there it stands for the o(ous doctrine of taxation without re)rcsen tation-a Governmen without the con sent of the governed. That is the dif ference between a rep blie and an t m pire. Webster has s iu " an empite embraces a variety in races and a diversity in governm.At." Our - pire is to embrace both a variety in races and a diversity In Government: for when we gat the Fli pinos-thirty di flerent races of them--we'll havt variety (J ract s enough to sati1fy tLhc most fastidious. ( Laughter. And we will have a diversity in Govern irlenit. that 'S suilEicen 10 1o di-tingui:i a re Public from an empire. We tile a- keo to have one tariti in this coulilly and another tariff in arothe r part oI the empire. If you want to see a stilt more marked contrast 100 me r.:n ind you that according to the conltitultion as amended since the war, no man in the United States can own another man ; but we new pay the Sultan of Sulu for the privilege of ly;ng our tlag over the Sultan's palace, atrd the slave who works beneath that flag is not to I t free, but he is able to buy hiniself free when le can make enough work ing for nothing a day to pay for the market price. (Laughter.) This is the doctrine that is now brought to American people by a party that has lived for 30 years i upon the the boast of what it did( in regard to'thie black man. Don't yotu think that is d iversity in Government ? And yet, my friends, we are juet commeineing on an impierial policy, and you can ex poe. thoat the d illieuities will multiply as we progrors. What defense do you hear given of the imperial polIcy y I have heard three. Feirst: Ther-e is money In it. Second : That, God Is in it. The third :That we are in it and can't get out. (Laughter.) I ventur-e you never heard any othe ar-gument.. Take a speech or an impierialist, and you will find that ther-e is not an argu mfent that does not fall ondler one of those three heads. ivery Imperialistic speech contains at, least two of these arguments. Lot me give you the sub stance of the most of the speeches. The imperialist speaker will start out, -by teilling you1 that Godl did it: that God opened the dloor and pushed us in and shut the door. That G;od polited out the way, and that, we are unader a r-eligious duty to prosecute a war of conquest because God directs it,, and after baving shouldered the whole thing onto P'rovidence he lowers is voice and says, " It will pay.' E'ver-y argument made In favor- of hnplerfalb-ml is but the elaboration of the speecei made by Secretary Gage at Salvannlabh Ga., more than a year ago, in ryhiebi he said that the Philanthropy and live per cent. would go band in hand. -"Philanthropy and five per cL-nt. -" Trhey have always traveled together in * wars of conquest. Philanthropy chio * roforms the conscience and live per~ .cent. tills the pJockets of the conquer-ed. Whenever philanthropy gets weary and rests for a while by the wvayside, five per cent. goes on and nlevelr feels lonesome. 1 do not~ mean to say that the imperiist does not, read his Bible, ,but I do mean to say he is mixed onl his quotatIons. 1 heard a man who got, confused about the Parables and tried to tell of the good Samaritan and got it mIxed with the parable of the sower, and as he remernbored It It read like this :" A man went from Jerusalemf to Jericho and as ho went he foli among the thorns and the thorns sprang up and choked hInm." is intentios wore good, but his mnem ory was defective, and so the im perialists are mixed up on the beauti tudes. They know there is a promise to the meek and to the peacomaker-, and knowing thait we entered the war as peacemakers, they have been tryIng to recall that, jpromise, anud tbey have got it mIxed up) with tile prlomiise to the mock. They have it like this:. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall inlerit the earth. But that ls Snot the Bible. "Blessed ar-e the pOace rnakers, for they shall be called the V children of G0od ;" Biessed are the mec k. for th y .htoll inherit the evrt' ,"| 1 a.d if any of VOU IIie acquainted witli I an imperialI you V will bear me cut in I the stateme(int, that he dots not show a meeknees thi t entitles him to claim that reward pi omised to the mic( k. If we want to be called pr aceimakers, let us he eatit lied wit i Goi's reword and not 0fim1 the ( arth for making peace b( tweCn people.
