This paper is one of the standard
agricultural journals of the country
and one of the most widely read. It
has an extensive circulation in the
eastern, middle and western states.
The first question was:
“Should the Filippinos be held in
subjection to the United Stales, or
should they be allowed t:o form an
independent government?” And there
were 12,520 of the paper’s subscribers
m favor of granting the rilippmos
in their favor independence, of holding and them only'\s,4t6 in sub

independence ot Cuba and the ma

in favor of the independence of the
island and only 7,362 for annexation.

question that the result of this poll

We have never believed that a
majority of the people of (he United
States approve the war upon the
Iiuppinos, _ and there unmistaka¬
are
ble signs that the opposition to the
war is constantly growing stronger,
Many prominent Republicans real¬
ize this fact and frankly admit that
the Philippine war is a heavy load
for the administration to carry.
The masses of the people are not
deceived by the cry that the Filippi¬
nos are “rebels” against the authority
of the United States. We have never
had any authority over them and the
only claim to such authority which
we can show is our purchase of the
Philippine Islands from a nation
which had lost control over them.
We detionnced Spain for contiuuing
her war upon the Filippinos after
they had driven the Spaniards from
every part of the islands except a
narrow strip of coast, and yet we
paid Spain $20,000,000 for the pri v
ilege of taking off her hands a war
against Filippinos a people striving to consulted be free.

in the transaction and they refuse
to abkle by its terms. Spain 'They had as

United States, and they are fighting
us even more vigorously than they
fought their former masters
The facts in the case cannot be
obscured by tlie administration or
perverted by its military censorship
at Manila, and they are facts which
are ver y unpala table to it majority of
