FOR INDEPENDENCE OF FILIPINOS Territory Acquired to Be Formed Into States. ————— OUR COURSE TOWARD CUBA Senator Hoar addressed the Senate at lergth this afternoon on the question of retaining the Philippine Islands. He said, in part: “I do not expect to accomplish anything for liberty in the Philippine Islands but through the republican party. Upon It the fate of these islands for years to come fs to depend. If that party cannot be persuaded, the case is in my judgment for the present hopeless. ‘That party will be in power for the next twelve months. It will be con- tmued in power for at least four years thereafter. If it were otherwise, what we do within the next twelve months could not be undone without the consent of a re- publican Senate. Our majority in the Sen- ate for at least four years is assured; and if that were doubtful there are democrats enough committed to this expansion policy to make it sure if the bulk of the republi- can party determine to continue it. “I cannot look with any favor upon Mr. Bryan as an alternative. I cannot believe that there is thing to hope for from his election. Upon all other questions than im- perialism he announces no single doctrine, principle or purpe has in it an. thing either of prosperity or safety to the republic. And I cannot forget that when it Was attempted to defeat the Paris treaty, or at least to compel an amendment which if it had been done, would have put the Fhilippine Islands upon the same footing with Cuba, would have prevented the war, and would have preserved our national doc- trines of liberty and our ancient policy, it was due to Mr. Bryan, more than to any other man after the treaty left the hands of the President, that that attempt was frustratéd. Unless he is much misrepre- sented, he used all his power and influence with those of his friends who were ready to listen to his counsel to secure the ratifi- cation of the treaty. That ratification in- volved the continuance of the which had then proceeded no further than an un- authorized outbreak of hostilities and an assumption of sovereignty over an unwill- ing people—to be purchased by the United States—the cause of a year’s war and all the disasters and melancholy history of the last twelve months. Hope Only in Republicans. “Now, I do not wish to speak unkindly of our democratic antagonists. Toleration comes with age and experience. I am glad to recognize cheerfully the patriotic purpose and the manly qualities of so many of the leaders the democratic states of the south have contributed of late to the public ser- vice. “But I cannot forget that the main power in the democratic party still abides with the combinations of men who govern the cities of New York and of Chicago; with the men who are believers in what seems to me a dishonest currency, and in a policy that would bring distress and poverty into the homes of millidéns of American workmen; the men who would undermine the Supreme Court, and the men who would destroy the safeguards of property. “I cannot see, in Mr. Bryan in. the pri en chair and the Senate and Congr so controlled, either hope th: of imperialism would be aba any good can come which will com us for the great evil such a rule will pring with it. I am not ready to take the admin- istration of this country from the party which for fifty years has been wrong but nee, z arty which for been right. I believe that, tf not today or tomorrow, yet at an early day, better knowledge of the facts, the light of experience, the love of liberty and justice which still burns in the hearts of the republican masses in this ccuntry, will bring that party back to the principles and policy upon which it planted itself in the beginning. The Issue. “We are presented with an Issue that can be clearly and sharply stated as a question of constitutional power, a question of inter- national law, a question of justice and righteousness, or a question of public ex- pediency. This can be stated clearly and shorply In the abstract, and it can be put clearJy and sharply by an illustration grow- ing Out of existing fact: ‘The constitutional ay : Has Con- gress the power, under oar Constitution, to held in subjection unwilling vassal states The question of international law ix: Can any nation rightfully convey to another ereignty over an unwilling people who have thrown off its dominion, asserted thelr independence, established a government of their own, over whom ft has at the time no practical control, from whose territory it has been disseized, and which {t is beyond its power to deliver? “The question of Justice and rizhtcous- negs is: Have we the right to crush and hold under our feet an unwilling and sub- Ject people whom we had treated as allies whose independence we are bound In good faith to respect, who had established their own free government and who had trusted silat ‘The question of public expediency $s: Is it for our advantage to promote our trade at the cannon’s mouth and at the point of the bayonet? “All these questions can be put fn a Way of practical illustration by inquiring whether we ought to do what we have done, are doing, and mean to do in the case of Cuba, or what we have done, are doing. and some of you mean to do in the case of the Philippine Islands. Object of Acquiring Territor. “I admit that the United States may ac- quire and hold property, and may make rules and regulations for Its disposition. “I admit that, Ike other property, the United States may acquire and hold land It may acqutre {t by purchase. It may ac- quire it by treaty. It may acquire it by conquest. And Jt may make rules and regulations for {ts disposition and govern- ment, however it be acquired. “When there are inhabitants upon the land so acquired it may make laws for their But the question between me and the gentlemen on the other side {s this: Is this acquisition of territory, of land or whether gained by pur- , conquest, or treaty, a constitutional end or only a means to a constitutional end? May you acquire, hold and govern territory or other property which our Constitution was only am as an end for framed, or is {t ns toward some other and fur- ther end? May you acquire, hold and gov- ern propel conquest, treaty or pur- chase for the sole object of so holding and governing it, without the consideration of any further constitutional purpose? Or must you hold it for a constitutional pur. only, such as the making of new the national defense and security. the establishment of @ seat of government, SPECIAL NOTICES, TO THE LOT OWNERS OF GLENWOOD CEMETER’ ae The board of trustees of the Glenwood cemetery desire to inform all lot owners that the astate- ments made by persons soliciting proxies to be voted at the next annual meeting, to the effect that the present superintendent Iv to be dis. charged, on account of charges made against him, 1s both unjust to him and detrimental to the cem- etery, as they are absolutely false, and efreulated only in the Interest of parties interested in the sale of certain lands to the cemetery.

Title to Territory in Dispute. “J affirm that you cannot get by conquest, you cannot get by purchase, according to the modern law of nations, acc@rding to the law of nations as accepted and ex- peunded by the United States, sovereignty over a people, or title to a territory, of which the power that undertakes to sell it or the power from whom you undertake to wrest {t has not the actual possession and dominion. Under municipal law you can- not buy a horse of which the seller is dis- possessed; you cannot buy a foot of land of which he is disseized. You cannot purchase a lawsuit. Under international law you cannot buy a people from a power that has no actual dominion over them. You cannot buy a war. More than this, you cannot buy a tyrant’s claim to subject again an op- pressed people Who have achieved the! freedom. “You cannot buy the liberties of a people from a dispossessed tyrant, lberties they have bravely won for themselves in arms. You cannot buy sovereignty like merchan- dise and men like sheep. The King of Eng- land kept, down to 1800, the title of Duke of Normandy and King of France. Could any other country or all Europe together have bought France of King George? I wonder what would have happened if, instead of acknowledging our independence, any time [ before the French treaty France had bought England out and undertaken to assert her title to the United States. These questions have to be answered, not amid the shouting and applause of a political campaign, not in party platforms, not alone in a single cam- paign or a single generation. They have got to be answered to history, to the in- structed conscience of the civilized world, when the passions and the greed and tbe ambitions of a single generation have gone by and are cold. And there will be to them but one answer. States Out of New Territory. “Gentlemen tell us that the bill of the senator from Wisconsin is copied from that introduced in Jefferson's time for the pur- chase of Louisiana. Do you claim that you propose to deal with these people as Jef- ferson meant to deal with Louisiana? You talk of Alaska, of Florida, of California; do you mean to deal with the Philippines as we mean to deal with Alaska and dealt with Florida or California? “I repeat. In every acquisition of terri- tory we ever made we meant to make states of it. Jefferson expressly says so in his Loulsiana message. There was no nation owning and dwel'ing on the territory; no people in the sense of the declaration; no organized national life; and certainly, in every case but Louisiana, we had reason to believe that the few scattered dwellers in the territory approved the transaction.” The Filipinos. Proceeding to speak of the Filipinos, Mr. Hoar went on to demonstrate the follow- ing propositions, quoting at length from numerous reports of our military command- ers and consular officers: “Now, Mr. President, there is no his- toric fact more clearly established by his- toric testimony than the facts— “First, that these people were aiming at independence from the beginning. “Second, that they achieved independence. “Third, that our commanders, naval and military, our Secretary of War, our ad- ministration at home, knew all the time that they were aiming, striving at inde- pendence. “Fourth, that we encouraged them by ev- ery form of practical assurance. ‘Would Have Prevented War. “If we had dealt with them In the treaty of peace as we dealt with Cuba there would have been no war. “If we had not hurried reinforcements to Manila, both of ships and of men, strength- ening the forces of our army and navy there after Spain had yielded, there would have been no war. “If the urgent request of Aguinaldo, after the outbreak of the 5th of February, that hostilities might cease, had not been met by the declaration of Otis that “fighting must go on,” there would have been no war. “If Aguinaldo’s offer to withdraw his tre and make a wider belt between the two armies had been met in a like spirit, there would have been no war. “If senators had not been talking about holding on to all they could get, about mak- ing money out of their great act of Mbera- tion, about keeping from the people of these islands their liberty and their independence for purposes of gain and trade, there would have been no war. “And now the attempt to charge this thing upon those of us who have but pro- claimed the doctrine of the Declaration of Independence and have but repeated again the Cuban resolutions; who have but quot- ed the language of the President of the United States—the responsibility for these hostilities—is a proceeding not matched in impudence since the day of the upstream wolf and the downstream lamb." What He Would Do. Mr. Hoar presented the following outline of his policy: I would declare now that we will not take these Islands to govern them against their will. - “2. I would reject a cession of sovereignty which implies that sovereignty may be beught and sold and delivered without the consent of the people. Spain has no right- ful sovereignty over the Philippine Islands. She could not rightfully eell it to us. We cannot rightfully buy it from her. “8. 1 would require all foreign govyern- ments to keep out of these fslands. “4. I would offer to the people of the Philippines our help in maintaining order until they have a reasonable opportunity to establish a government of their own, “5. I would aid them by advice, if they desire it, to set up a free and independent government. “6. I would invite all the great powers of Europe to unite in an agreement that that independence shall not be interfered with by us, by themselves, or by any ono of them with the consent of the others. I would declare that the United States will enforce the same doctrine 2s applicabie to the Philippines that we declared as to Mexico and Haiti and the South American republics. It is true that the Monroe doc- trine, a doctrine based largely on our re- gard for our own interests, is not appli- cable elther in terms or in principle to a distant Asiatic territory, But undoubtedly, having driven out Spain, we aro bound, an have the right, to secure to the people we have liberated an opportunity, undisturbed and in peace, to establish a new govern- ment for themselves. “8. I would then, in a not distant future, leave them to work out thelr own salvae tion, as every nation on earth, from the beginning of time, has wrought out its own salvation. Let them work out their own salvation, as our own ancestors lowly and in long centuries wrought out theirs; as Germany, as Switzerland, as France, in briefer periods, wrought’ out theirs; as Mexico and the South American republics have accomplished theirs, all of them with- I PRL B ARLE DDADA BEL I DL LLB Lae HEALTH DEPENDS chiefly upon the condition of the stomach.

To attempt to confer the gift of freedom from without, or to impose freedom from without on any people, is to disregard all the lessons of history. It is to attempt “A gift of that which fs not to be given By all the blended powers of earth and heaven.’ “9, I would strike out of your legislation the oath of allegiance to us and substi- tute an oath of allegiance to their own country.” Appeal to Future and Past. Mr. Hoar concluded as follows: “Mr, President, I know how imperfectly I have stated this argument. I know how feeble is a single voice amid this din and tempest, this delirium of empire. It may be that the battle for this day is lost. But I have an assured faith in the future, I have an assured faith In justice and the love of liberty of the American people. The stars in their courses fight for freedom. The Ruler of the heavens ts on that sido. If the battle today go against it, I appeal to another day, not distant and sure to come. I appeal from the clapping of hands and the stamping of feet and the brawling and the shouting to the quiet chamber where the fathers gathered In Philadel- phia. I appeal from the spirit of trade to the spirit of Mberty. I appeal from the empire to the republic. I appeal from the millionaire and the boss, and the wire-puller and the manager to the statesman of the older time, in whose eyes a guinea never glistened, who lived and died poor, and who left to his children and to his country- men a good name far better than riches. I appeal from the present, bloated with ma- terlal prosperity, drunk with the lust of empire, to another and a better age. I ap- peal from the present to the future and to the past."

Ob Me aera ot the cipese” that it had never been the intention | gepyerra SMR Re rhe oe co., of the framers of the law to have it so con- strued; and that it should be resisted in the courts, Mr. Hirzman of the New York Pharma- ceutical Association said the drug trade throughout New York was being greatly depressed by ‘department stores,” which for advertising purposes sold patent medi- cines at less than cost, and some of them were now putting in regular prescription branches. This was given as an additional reason for relieving the regular trade from the present tax burden. Taxing Bandages. Charles Clark spoke for the manufac- turers. He said some of those present paid $10,000 and $20,000 annually. Much of the tax was on a variety of articles designed for suffering humanity. Many of the band- ages which saved the lives of our soldiers had to bear revenue stamps. With an $82,- 00,000 surplus, the course of the govern- ment in taking $10,000 from a manufac- turer and storing {t away in the treasury amounted to confiscation, and Mr. Clark protested against such action. Mr. Grosvenor said this was based on the assumption that present conditions would last, but he asked what guaranty there was for a continuance of the present condi- ticns. Mr. Clark replied that doubtless means could always be found to do away with a surplus, but he said it was the official esti- mate of the head of the treasury that this large surplus would exist next year, Mr. Clark added that it would be a serious arraignment of a republican Congress that it_was collecting an excess of taxation of about ninety millions a year, Other Interests Affected. Several of the members of the committee suggested that if this surplus was cut down other interests, particularly the beer inter- est, would ask that they share in the re- duction. Mr. Payne further stated that the tn- crease of revenue under the war revenue act was about $102,000,000, so that if the act was wiped out there would be a con- siderable deficiency. Representative Boutell of Illinois stated that the enormous sums raised under the act were a surprise to its framers, as they much exceeded the estimates. He said that the surplus imposed a duty on the present Congress to reduce the tax burden at the earliest moment. The reduction should be made at the points of greatest friction, and schedule B he regarded as one of the first articles of repeal. Mr. Boutell’s state- ment was enthusiastically applauded. This closed the hearing and the committee ad- journed. +2 +____ Real Estate Transfers. G street southeast between 9th and 10th streets—Heirs of Nora and Louisa Barry to Geo.
