AGAINST EXPANSION.
Congrrenßmn.il Vijncent Says Thing*
Anent the Philippines.
Hon. W D Vincent. Populist con
gressman, closed a telling speech in the
house on the bill to increase the army
in the following language
There is no doubt in my mind that
we could give England and France bet
ter governments than they now have.
Is that any reason why we should go
over there and compel them to accept
our rule ? Oh, you say, that is a differ
ent thing! Yes. indeed, it would be a
different thing We would then be
jumping upon somebody a little nearer
our size. We can copquer the Filipinos
because they are weak, and in doing so
we only add the crime of cowardice to
the crime of theft. Because we think
we have the best government on the
face of the earth are we going to sail
around the world subduing other na
tions in order that ( they may receive
the benefits of our enlightenment and
our system of government?
Are we going to cram our religion
down their throats whether they want
it or not because we think it is a bet
ter religion than theirs ? Why not ? It
will do them good, we think, and there
fore we ought to make them take it.
Why not gobble up one nation after
another for the same reason until we
own the world? That might slightly in
terfere with the protective tariff, but it
would be expansion with a big E, and
that is only another word for patriot
ism.
If we must steal something, why go
8,000 miles from home to do it? Why
not take in one or more of the South
American republics? They would, per
haps. be worth something to us, and we
can soon make an excuse for doing it.
We can plant the flag there under some
pretext, and then “Who will dare to
take it down?” There is no end to the
Possibilities—to the good we can do to
other nations —if we will only carry
this “expansion” policy, this new brand
of “patriotism,” to its legitimate con
clusion. Patriotism under the old order
of things, before the Declaration of In
dependence was expunged from the rec
ord, meant love to one’s country. Un
der the new regime it means love for
the other fellow’s country.
“But what are we going to do with
the Philippines?” you ask. “Are we
going to turn them over to Spain ?” No
body proposes to do anything of the
kind. What are we going to do with
Cuba— turn it over to Spain ? Gentle
men assume that we must either shoot
the Filipinos or turn them over to be
fchot by Spaniards. It is neither neces
®3ry, humane nor wise to do either one.
urn the islands over to the men who
own them—the men who have been
ghting for years, like the Cuban patri
ots fought, for their freedom. Do with
them as we say we are going to do, and
ha every honest man says we ought to
<*o- with the Cubans. The Filiotoos
i are as fully able to take care of tnem
selves as they were before we took
possession of Manila. We can leave
them now in better condition than we
found them, because we have prostrated
their ancient enemy, and it is only a
pretext when we say we must adopt
them for their own good when they are
protesting that they do not want and
will not have such protection.
Even if the inhabitants of the islands
were willing and anxious to come with
us, even if it were not everlastingly
wrong from a moral standpoint, annex
ation would still be unwise because of
the enormous expense. These islands
will cost us hundreds of dollars for ev
ery dollar we get in return. This can be
demonstrated and has been demonstrat
ed over and over again upon this floor
without any attempt to refute it But
if there were “millions in it,” that
would not justify the outrage. No doubt
there will be millions in it for a few
speculators and syndicates, and these
are at the bottom of the scheme of an
nexation. There will be federal posi
tions at good salaries and long drawn
out mileage for scores of carpetbaggers,
but the great mass of our people will
pay the bills in increased taxation.
Forcible annexation means govern
ment without the consent of the gov
j erned; it means continued oppression
to those who have so' bravely fought
against it; it means injustice from ev
ery standpoint; it means increased tax
ation; it means an increase in the
standing army; it means that we are
going 8,000 miles from home to invite
trouble; it means everything that is
bad and nothing that is good, and it is
a public confession to all the world that
the war with Spain was fonght under
false pretenses.
A Cheap Privilege.
“One gas company, the Equitable,
paid the city of New York in 1896 the
Bum of $233.75 for enjoying the benefits
conferred by the people of the city in
the shape of a franchise worth millions
of dollars. In the same year the same
company obtained from the city SBOO,-
000 for furnishing gas. So the city paid
the company the difference between
$233.75 and SBOO,OOO for the privilege
of giving it a franchise. ”
This statement was made before the
New York senate committee on taxa
tion and retrenchment at Albany by Dr.
M. M. Miller, secretary of the Associa
tion for Public Control of Franchises.
Dr. Miller was arguing in favor of the
passage of the bill introduced by Sena
tor Ford to tax the value of franchises
held by corporations.

PURE DEMOCRACY. r
Proper Substitute For “Repreoeata
tire Government’* Witch Him
Failed.
“Representative government’ 1 is a
failure.
What is “representative govern
mentl" ■
It is the system under which the
voter chooses a member of the city
council or legislature to “represent”
him in all things considered in the law
making body.
That system is a signal failure.
It was no doubt a beneficent system
when it was first introduced, but the
lobbyist has learned its weak points,
and he can and does defeat nearly all
good legislation.
There is another reason why it is a
failure.
Under it the voter is generally repre
sented on but one issue.
At every election someone subject
eclipses all others in public estimation.
It may be the most important ques
tion, or it may be the least important,
but magnified by interested parties un
til it absorbs the attention of the voters.
On that issue the members of council
or legislature are elected.
The member pfoperly “represents’
his constituents (a majority of them)
on that particular issue.
On other issues the member is a law
unto himself and uses his own judg
ment, which is more or less biased by
the ever present lobby.
The member is in five-sixths of the
cases a lawyer, and generally a corpora
tion attorney, whose personal and pro
fessional interests are directly opposed
to the rural classes whom he is supposed
to “represent” and who were “bun
koed” in the campaign into accepting
an insignificant question as the leading
issue.
The people are helpless.
A return to “democracy," as exem
plified in “direct legislation, ” is the
only hope of free institutions.
Under “direct legislation” all laws
passed by a lawmaking body would be
held in suspense or inoperation 30 or
60 days, and if at the end of that time
no “protest” was filed the laws would
become operative, but if the required
per cent of voters had registered their
protest the law would remain inopera
tive until passed upon by all the people
at a general or special election, and
that decision should be final, and over
it no court or mayor or governor should
exercise any veto power.
The “indirect” benefits of direct leg
islation would be tenfold greater than
the direct benefits. The absence of the
corrupting influence of the lobby and
the ever present knowledge of the legis
lator that his acts were liable to review
would cause him to have a care that
the laws passed were such as would
meet the approbation of the people;
hence the filing of a protest or demand
ing a “referendum” would be a rare
occurrence. —Omaha Nonconformist
The “Embftlmer*’" Trust.
The Chicago beef packers, in harmony
with the age, have concocted a mighty
packing house trust that will take in
all the packing houses of the country.
When this is accomplished, we would
like to see General Miles or anybody
else kick about embalmed beef. Now
that we are in for a 200 year war with
“the niggers of the equator” it is well
the beef packers have got together
and created a cinch that will tide them
over any more beef scandals. A man
that enlists now does so with the un
derstanding that he will have to eat
embalmed beef or pickled rubber boots
if the trust so orders. “Take up the
white man’s burden. ” —George’s Week
ly-
This la Tough.
The Lawyers’ union some time ago
found Judge Dellenbaugh and Senator
Burke guilty of fleecing clients, and
now the circuit court has expelled them
from the union, which means that they
can no longer work at their trade. The
crime that Dellenbaugh and Burke were
guilty of was not of robbery, but of be
ing found out, and if the latter cannot
secure an injunction somehow they will
be foolish if they do not combine and
work some scheme to expel the whole
union, for they are no worse than their
persecutors. —Cleveland Citizen.
Prom Colorado’* Governor.
The voice that intones the litany is
the same that commands a rise in the
price of grain when hunger is abroad.
The pen that signs a check for the erec
tion of a church or a library is the same
that approves the vouchers of the lob
byist. The hand that gives freely to the
cause of temperance in New York is
the hand that regulates the output of
the Kentucky distilleries. The influence
that deplores the decadence of public
morality is frequently the same which
tempts the public servant to his down
fall. —Governor Thomas.
Business.
Steady Company (after a running
comment on business success in gen
eral) —I must say, Miss Florence, that
if there is one thing I particularly ad
mire in a man it is business enterprise.
Miss Florence—So do I. There’s
young Rnshman, for instance. He’s
only been calling on Miss Sparks two
months, and they’re engaged already.—
