The success of the party representing the principles.embodied in the Kansas City platform would' bring, about the destruc­ tion of all the conditions necessary to tb s continuation -of our prosperity. It would also Unsettle our whole governmental sys­ tem. and would therefore disarrange all the vast nUd delicate machinery of our complex industrial life. Above all. the effect 'would be ruinous to our finance. I f we are to prosper, the.currency of this 'country irnutbc based upon the gold dollar worth one hundred cents. The stability o i our currency tmsbeen greatly lncreaR- ed by the excellent financial net passed bf the last congress. But no law can secure pur finances against the effect of utlwlae and disastrous management In the hands of;unfriendiy administrators. No party can safely be entrusted with the manage­ ment cf our national affairs unless tt ac­ cepts as axiomatic the truth recognised la all progressive countries as essential to a .sound and proper' system of finance. In their essence these must be tbe same for pit great clvlllicd people's, lt» different Stages of development, different countries face varying economic condltlona, but at every stage "and under aH clrcumstancca the most Important element In Securing their economic well-being Is sound finance, honest money. So Intimate |s the con- neettoh between Industrial prosperity and A;: sound currency0 -that, the former Is jeUpardized. not merely by unsound finance, but by the very threat of unsound finance. The buslneSs:man and the- farmer era vitally Interested In this question; but no man’s interest is so great as that fit the wage-worker. A depreciated currency means loss and disaster to the business man; but it means grim suffering to the wagfi-worker. The capitalist will .loaf mUch of hls capital and will suffer wear­ ing anxiety and the.loss of many-comforts; hut the wage-worker who' loses hi* wages must suffer, and see his Wife and children suffer, for the actual.necessities of life. The one absolutely vital need of our whole Industrial aysfem fs sound monsy. 1 TKtIST PROHLKH. . its Nature—Hot Bhot s t Chulrmau . Jones and Boss Croker.

Pyeroertty «w<l Hmo*. the eUtea of Arkansu.MUsourl,Louisians, tows, Minitesota, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Idaho and a large part of Colorado end Utah, was>acquired by treaty and purchase under President Jef­ ferson exactly end precisely as the Phil­ ippines have been acquired by treaty and purchase under President McKinley. m e doctrine of “the consent of tbo governed," tbs doctrine previously enunci­ ated by Jefferson in the declaration of Independence, was not held by him or by any other sane man to apply to the In­ dian tribes In the Louisiana territory which he thus acqulred.'vmd there was no vote taken even of the white inhabitants, not to speak of tbe negroes and Indiana, ea to whether they were willing that their territory should he annexed. The great majority of the inhabitants, white and colored alike, were bitterly opposed to the transfer, An armed force of United States soldiers had to be hastily sent Into the rorritory to prevent insurrection, I ’rosidcnV JaoEtoa aeading'thro* troops to Louisian* tor exactly the same reason* and with exactly th* same purpose that President MaKtnley ba* sent troops to th* Philippines. Jefferson distinctly stated that the. Louisianians were "not fit' or ready for self-government," and year* elapsed before they were given self- government, Jefferson appointing the gov­ ernor and Other officials without any con­ sultation with the inhabitants of the newly-acquired territory. The doctrine that the "constitution Sallows the flag" was not then even considered either by Jefferson or by' any other serious party leader, for it never entered their he ids' that a new territory should, he gove nod other than In the way to which the tirri- tories \ of Ohio abd Illinois had already been governed under Washington and the elder Adams; the theory known hy this utterly false and misleading phrase was only struck out in political controversy at a much later date, for the sole pur- . pose of justifying the extension of slav­ ery Into the territories. An E x ac t l’aralle. The parallel between what Jefferson did with Louisianaand what ISnow being don* in the Philippines Is exact. Jefferson, the author of th? Declaration of Independence, and of the ^consent of the governed" doc­ trine, saw no incongruity between tbls and tbo establishment of a government on com­ mon sense grounds. In the new. territory; and be railed s t the sticklers for an im­ possible application of Ms principle, say­ ing, In language which at the present day appllaSv.to the situation In the Philippines without the change of a word, "though It Is acknowledged that our new fellow citi­ zens are as yet as Incapable, of ag}f-govern­ ment as children, yet some cjfhnot bring themselves: to suspend Its principles for a single moment." He .Intended that ulti­ mately self-government should be intro­ duced throughout the territory, but only' ns the different parts became fit far it, and no sooner. This Is just ths policy that has been pursued. In no part of the Louisiana purchase was complete self-government Introduced for a number, of years; to one part of It, the Indian'territory, It hae not yet been introduced, although nearly a century has elapsed, Over enormous tracts of it, Including the various Indian reserva­ tion*, with a territory to tha aggregate as targe as that of the Philippines, the con­ stitution has never yet “followed the flag;" the army officer end the civilian agent Still exercise authority, without asking the "eonssnt of th# governed." W# must proceed In th* Philippines with th* same wise caution, taking sech successive step as it becomes desirable, and accommodat­ ing the details of our policy to the pecu­ liar needs of the situation. But as soon as th* present revolt is put down end order established. It will undoubtedly b* possible to give to the Islands a larger measure of celt-government, than Jefferson originally gave Louisiana, F lorida find Texas. The next great step In expansion was the .acquisition of Florida. This was partly acquired hy conquest And partly by purchase, Andrew Jackson being the most prominent figure in the acquisition. It was taken under President Monro*, th e . ettertisse President John Quincy Adams being active la securing the pur- chase. As In the oeae of ths Philippines, Florida was acquired by purehsee from ipain, sad to Florida the Seminole*, woo had a r t been eeasulted to the eels, re­ belled 15^d waged war exactly as some of the Tatals have rebelled and waged war in the Philippine*. The fiemlnota war tasted for many years, but Presidents Monroe, Adame and Jackson declined tor a moment to consider the question of abandoning Florida te the Senrinoiee, or to treat their non-consent to the gov­ ernment of the United States as a valid taaaoai tor turning over to the territory to them. Our next acquisition of territory was that of Texas, secured by treaty after it had been wreeled from the Mexicans by the Texans themselves. The* came the acquisition ot California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and parts of Colorado end Utah as the result of the Mexican war, supplemented five rests later hy the Gadsden purchase, Alaska. The next acquisition was that of Alaska, secured front Russia by treaty and pur­ chase. Alaska was toil of native*, some •f whom had advanced well beyond tha 'stage ot savagery and were Christians, They were not eOAeulted about the pur­ chase nor was their acquiescence required. The parch*** Was made hy the men who had Just put through a triumphant war t* restore the Union and free the slave; but none ef them deemed It necessary to push the doctrine af the "oeneent ef the governed" t* a conelualen a* fastest 1 « as to necessitate th# iurolag aver of Alaska t* its anginal burner*, the Indian and the Aleut. Far thirty yearn Ike United fftatto authorities, military and slril, exercised th* supreme authority In * tract of land many time* larger than the Fttlllpplnfis, (n which it did net aeem likely that there would ever he any aro- stfierabta body af whit# tohahUanU.

W# are making no new departure, "We are not taking a single step Which In any way affects our Instltuttcns or our traditional: policies. From tho beginning we have given widely varying degrees of eelf-gov- ernment to the different territories, socord tng to their needs. “ IMPERIALISM.” This and Its Twin Bogus Issuoof “Militarism” Shown (Jp. The simple truth 1* that thero'js nothing even, remotely resembling “Imperialism” or "Militarism" involved in tbe present development of that policy of expansion which has beep part of tbe history ot -America from the day when sbe became a nation. Tbe words mean absolutely noth­ ing as npplled.to our present policy in the Philippines; for this policy ts only ltn-[ perlalistlc in tbe sense that Jeffqraon's' policy In Louisiana was Imperialistic; only military in the sense that Jackson’s policy toward'the Semtnoles or Custer’s toward the Sioux embodied militarism; and there ts no morn danger of Us producing evil results at homo now than there was of It* Interfering with freedom under Jefferson or JacksonTor In"ths days of the Indian were on the plains. Our army la relatively not as large as It was In the days of Worse; we have so t one regular for every thousand Inhabitants. Thoro Is no more danger of e draft than there ts of the re Introduction ot slavery. When -we expanded over New Mexico and California we secured free government, to these territories and prevented tbelr fall­ ing under the "militarism" of a dictator­ ship like that of-Santa Anas, or the 5’lm; perlallam” of a real: empire In the days of MaximiiUan. We put a stop to Imperial­ ism in Mexico sa soon as the civil war closed, We made a: great anti-imperialistic stride when we drove the Spaniards from Porto Rico and the Philippines and there by made ready the ground in these islands for that gradually Increasing mess . ure of self-government for which 'their. 1population* are severally ‘fitted. Cuba Is being helped along the path to Indepen­ dence as rapidly as her own eltissns are content that sha should go< Of course the presence of troops in the Philippines dur. jng the Tegel insurrection has no more xo do with militarism or Imperialism than had their presence in the Dakotas, Minne­ sota* and Wyoming during the mfeoy year* which elapsed Jbefors the final outbreak* of the Sioux ftr* definitely put down, there Is no more militarism or imperialism in garrisoning Luzon until order is re­ stored than there wee imperialism in send tag soldiers to South Dakota in 1890, dur­ ing the Ogsllalla outbreak. Tbo reasoning which. Justifies our having made war against Sitting Bull also justifies our bav ibg checked tbe outbreaks off Agulnaldo and Ms followers, directed, as they were, against Filipino end American alike. Bryan’s Flan Is Militarism. The only certain -way of rendering it necessary for our republic to eater on a career of "militarism" would be to aban­ don the Philippines to their own tribes, end at the cam* time etther to guarantee a stable government among thss* tribes o r to guarants* them against outside ta< terferenc*. A far larger army would be required to carry out any such policy than will to required to secure order un- der the American flag; while th* pres­ ence ot this flag *a the Island* It really th* only possible security against oztslda aggression, Tbe whole argument against President McKinley’s policy la the Phil­ ippine* becomes absurd when It is cOn. ceded that we Should, to quote th* lan guage of the Kansas City platform, "give to the Philippine* first a stable form of government." It they ere now entitled to independence, they ere also antltled to decide for thamseves whether their gov­ ernment shall be stable or Unstable, civil­ ized or savage, or whether they shall have any government at all; while it la, of course, squally evident that under such condition* we have no right whatever to guarantee them against Outside Interfer­ ence any mors than we have to make such a guarantee in the case of the Boxers (who are merely ths Chinese analogues of Aguinaldo’e followers). If we have a right to astabUsh a stable government in the islands It necessarily follows that It Is not only our right but ouf duty to support that government qntll the natives gradually grow fit to sustain It them' selves. How else will tt be stablef The minute we leave It, tt ceases to be stable. SHALL WE CONTRACT?
