The company has issued a circular to

This means a very large increase

Try an sdtertisement in Tir
JoURX&U
Against Annexation of tlio
Philippines 111.
From the very nature of tilings,
should the Philippine islands pass
under the dominion of the United
States, we could never hope to Amer
joanize them. A few thousand adven
turous Americans might try their
hands in business and speculation
here, but no considerable number o f
Americans would go there, even tf
it were a colonial dependency of the
United States, And even if our pro
pie should desire to go there to enter
• usiness they could do so advanta
geously enough under any olhei
government, for it is quite certain
that Spain will have to relinquish the
islands'to some stronger European
power sooner or later.
The colonial system of govern
ment being r pugnant to the spirit cf
our democratic institutions, it would
be folly to inaugurate it in tins case.
The Philippine natives, mostly Ma
lays, are among the most vicious and
depraved people on earth. They are
an intractable and unruly race, and
would he perpetually warring against
any government that might be insti
tuted. Their leaders would o.onsbitiy
foment strife and rebellion and a
standing army there would find nself
perpetually employed suppressing
insurrections. In our judgment our
government will experience to its ful]
satisfaction what it means to deal
with such a class of people before it
gets throupdi with the Cuban insur
gents, and why should it pile its
troubles mountain high by retaining
thy Philippines?
It may be said that it would be
oiuel for the United States to turn
the Philippine natives bark to Spaim
t hereby permitting a continuance of
Spanish brutality and oppression.
We must confess that we see now a
great deal of jingoism in all this talk
about oppiessed Cubans and the line-
The war has demonstrated that the
Cuban and Philippine insurgents are
so worthless a lot that it is hard to
realize how they could bo oppressed'
The events of the next ft tv years in
Cuba will cause the United States to
sympathize a great deal with Spam In
some particulars, for our government
wilt realize in the severe sch xil of
experience many of the vexatious
problems Spain was called upon to
solve.
Besides, it is not the business of the
United States to go blustering around
the globe, seeking a fight wherever a
government is oppressing its people,
if that is the correct doctrine then we
should say to the Sultan cf Turkey
that he should ameliorate the condi
tions of his Armenian subjects, and it
lie fails to do so, declare war against
Turkey. We might with propriety,
also, demand that England grant
home rule to Ireland, Yv r e might
say to Nicholas, of Russia, that he
should no longer permit the Siberian
horrors
llwever much we may sympathize
with a down irudeen race, it is not
always our duty to revolutionize the
governments of the world and bring
hem to our way of thinking - There
are many ways of oppressing people,
and the United States have their
ways- If the Philippine insurgents
are oppressed by the Spanish tax
gatherer, is it just to impose a heavy
tax on our people to remove the
burdens from the shouide > if tie
thieving Malays? The millenium is
not quite here yet.—Banner.
