r whatever it may be in thai far uff archipelago bni our a 	 rican kite is hi and tlie watchword is strike high for liberty and liberty in the gift of god the people rally to that cry they do not reason long or always wisely when freedom is ihe battle civ mc kinley knows this for all experience confirms history in the truth of what i assert the church calls it missionary work tin1 friends called it founding a new colony but political statesmen call it the spread of the theory of democra cy reduced to rule and order bv repub lican inst ilutions when the third napoleon was beaten by the prussians in 1870-1 ii not only established a great empire in all ger many but made a republic of france the revolution in brazil south ameri ca was r-t ill more startling yet peaceful which resulted in making a new re public of that vast empire in south america our war with spain did not affect spain's kingdom but from its dominion fate seems to have picked out several new states that are destined to be free and independent governments if not component parts of the united slates of north america the founders of our government commenced with only 13 united colonies but the i'vit they have sown has taketl dee root and the branches of the giant oaks thai have grown therefrom reach far out into every wind in the whole heavens and from the great boughs of • his forest bang many parasites and in the benignant shade on good productive iworytliing that h".i-<.i i ture needs repose million.-1 if prosperous peo ie tall oaks from little aeorns grow human nature is still the same and that is the reason why i deplore the changes bat are made by modern charlatans in our hooks of elementary education keep the old forms of our fathers and mothers and then every parent becomes a teacher in the rudi ments that are the permanent founda tion stones of the great superstructure that is to be erected in the future in the chevisanos with spain we ob tained whatever right title and inter est she had in the philippines and i'orto rico of course with the consent of the residents of the islands which is always inferred and included the people have the right of revolution everywhere but they must have ground for revolt it is the sovereignly that we claim ihe right to require a republican form of government and unrestricted access of the citizens of the united : states imtramine'ed by the restraints of spanish rule or interruption from any foreign foe we do not intend to move the islands over here or to translate the trikies into full-hedged statesmen but to spread over them the broad aegis of american liberty if the aliorigines ob ject to th is we hope they will draw up a bordereau of their grievances and ob jections a schedule of their claims and demands and they shall be heard hut this must not be done by a rogatory and wandering warfare without any definite purpose except to light the new land lord if ours was a war to steal natives to carry thutn to a foreign land end sell them into slavery and to re-establish the slave1 trade the people here would demand the withdrawal of the troops the death of the president and ihe sur render of di'wey to the insurgents to be hung mckinley has stated the situa tion plainly fearlessly and boldly — it is the purpose to extend the jurisdic tion of american liberty of course there must be territorial laws lirst but autonomy follows all governmental or l'lini/.ation in a genuine democracy if ihe rebels were in anus against ihe yoke of spain we answer we have broken the yoke and let ihe oppressed go free if aguinaldo says we waul a king we answer not while we live and exist cis a nation with sovereignty over the islands in our possession from the gov eminent that held * with uninterrupt ed sway over
