The doctrine of estoppel is getting right popular, or, more .properly, has been a number of times Used, in North Caj:olira recently. It has been invoked I to prevent us from saying out I loud that McKinley appoints I negroes, and now it is invoked I againbt our anti-imperialis- tic view h. We are told that . A ... ; ation of Independence which says tnat "an governments derive their just powers from ... . . the consentTof the governed," because we have disfranchised! the illiterate negroes. We were surprised to find this argument in a North Carolina paper after it had been worn theadbare by the New York Sun. In the First place it is just simply a mis- statement cf the facts to sav that we have violated that 'principle of government . be- cause we have disfranchised lllitPTnto 11 inrrnoo Til o f nwn .

We have disfranchised the illiterate negro by a majority of GO,C0O of the goverwd. Kor did it mean in the hrst place a majority of all the governed, but a' majority only of those qualified to give an honest and an intelligent upinuu, tuu wno could defend it arter it is given. Therefore, tne 'jaJlot was not given, by inuso who iramea the Declara- tion of independence, to females, to young men under 21 vp or age, to lunatics, nor to con- victed rascals. We take it that ir, XSrVaU aild Of llr rai-n loofl. ; . . . icaaeis aie men of sufficient ;ele- mentary Intelligence to see to it wnen elested that a ?hilippiue government of like safeguards is established before they turn the island over to them. Ifc is not entirely fir, either, to say that the disfranchised negro is taxed without representation. The abhorrent idea we have of the term "taxation without repre sentation' was inherited from our ancestors who gained it when a country across the oceatr levied taxes against this whole country,, separate from any other, and in the levying pfvhich this whole country had no representation. The disfran chised negro is not taxed in any such manner as that. If he is not represented by ballot in the tax levying body, his White neighbors , and his .educated colored brothers are. No tax can be laid agaiust him that is not, laid in identical mannci agaiust his neighbors who do control the tax levying power and he is thus just as fully in sured against unjust taxation ;as if the ballot was mhis htnds. And experience has conclusive ly proven that it is more unjust to tax him with . than without the ballot, because he gets much poorer government with the ballot than without it The : disfranchised negro will be tax ied without representation now iri about the same measure that rniuors and women were taxed by. the f ramers of the Declara tion of Independence, and are still taxed, without representa tion. If some genius could" invent an appliance which could invoke the doctrine of estoppel ( against misrepresentation he'd be a public benefactor. We'd lvoto for him for the Senate against MrfSimmons.

Be not deceived If we expect to main tain a colonial policy, we shall not find it to our advantage to educate the peo ple. The educated Filipinos are now In revolt against us, and the" most ig- no rant ones have made, the least re sistance to our domination. If we are to govern them without their consent and give them no voice in determining the taxes which theymnst payvwe dare not educate them, lest they learn to reaoSthe Declaration of Independ ence and the constitution of the United States, an J mock ua for our inconsist ency rouii bepctblican coxiextions. Comment on tho Principal Arg-ament or tho Party In Power. - The principal arguments, however, advanced by those who enter upon a defense of imperialism are: First: That we" must improve the present opportunity to become a world power and enter into international Tol-. ities, V Second: That our commercial inter ests in the Philippine islands and in tho Orient make It necessary for us to hold the Islands permanently. Third: That the spread of the Chris tian religion will be facilitated by a colonial policy. Fourth: That there Is no honorable retreat from the position which the un tion has taken. ( The first -argument ia .addressed to the nation's pride and the second to tne nation's pocket-book. The third is In tended for the church member and the fourth for the partisan. It is a sufficient answer to, the first argument to say that for more than a century this nation has been a world power. For ten decades it has been the most potent influenecin the world. Not only has it been a world power, but it has done more to affect the poll tics of the human race than all the oth er nations of the world combined. Be cause our Declaration of Independence w as promulgated others have been pro mulgated; because the patriots of 1776 fought for liberty others have fought for if. because our constitution was juionted other constitutons have been adopted. The growth of the principle of self-government, planted on Amerr can soil, has been the over-shadowing political fact of the nineteenth cen tury. The permanent chairman of the last Uepublican national convention pre sented the pecuniary argument in all its baldness, when he said: "We make no hypocritical pretenses of being interested in the Philippines solely on account of others. While we regard the welfare of these people as a sacred trust we regard the' welfare of the American people first. We see our duty to ourselves, as well as to others.. We believe, in trade expansion. By every legitimate means within the province of government and constitution we mean to stimulate the expansion of our trade and open new markets This Is the commercial argument. It is based upon the theory that war can. ' be rightly waged for pecuniary advantage, and that it is profitable to purchase trade by force and violence. Franklin denied, both of these propo sitions. " I place the philosophy of Franklin against the sordid doctrine of ' those .who would put a price upon the life of an American soldier and justify a war of conquest upon the ground that it will pay. j The Democratic party is in favor of the expansion of trade. It would extend our trade by every legitl mate and peaceful means; but it'is not willing to make merchandise of human blood. i But a war of conquest is as unwise as It -is unrighteous. A harbor .and coaling station in -the Philippines would answer every trade and mul tary necessity and such a concession could have been secured at any time without difficulty. It is not necessary to own people In order to trade with them. We carry on trade today with every'part of the 'world, and onr commerce has expand ed more rapidly than the commerce of any; European empire. When trade is secured by f oree the cost of securing tt and retaining it must be taken ont of the-profits, and the profits are never large enough, to cover the ex pense. Such a system would never be defended, but for the fact that the ex pense is borne by all the people, while the profits are enjoyed by the few. Imperialism would be profitable to the army contractors; It wonld be prof itable to the snip-owners, who wonld carry, live soldiers to the Philippines and bring dead soldiers back; it would be profitable to those who would seize upon the franchises, and it would be profitable to the officials whose salaries would be fixed here and paid over there; but to the farmer, to the labor ing man, and to the vast majority of those engaged in other occupations, it .would bring expenditure without re turn and risk without reward. V Farmers and laboring men have, as a rule, small incomes and under "sys tems which ; place the tax upon eon sumption pay more than their fair hare of the expenses of government. Thus the very people who receive least benefit from Imperialism will be in jured most by the military; burdens -which accompany it.

DESTINY THE F1NAI. JUSTIFICATION Offered by the Bpotllcan for the Sltaa Uon In the Philippine. When our opponents, are unable, to defend their position by argument they fall back upon -the assertion that it Us destiny, and insist that we must submit to it, no matter, how much it violates moral precepts and our prin ciples of government. This is a com placent philosophy. It obliterates the distinction between right and wrong and makes individuals and nations the helpless victims of circumstances. Destiny Is the subterfuge of the In vertebrate, who. lacking the courage to oppose error, seeks some pausible excuse for supporting it. "Washington said that the destiny of the Republican form of government was deeply, if not finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the American pe,ople. How different Washington's definition of destiny from the Republican defini tion! The Republicans say that this nation is in the hands of destiny i Washington believed that not only the destiny - of our own nation but the destiny of the Republican form of gov ernment throughout the world was en trusted to Anierican hands. Washing ton was right. The destiny of this re Dublic is in the hands of its owii' peo ple, upon the success , of the experi ment here rests tne nope or numanity. No exterior force can disturb this re public, and no foreign inguence should be permitted to change Its course. What the -future has in store for this nation no one has authority " to de clare, but each individual has his own idea of the nation's mission' -and he owes it to his country as well as to himself to contribute as best he may to the fulfillment of that mission. i . Mr. Chairman. and Gentlemen of tbe Committee: I can never fully dis char the debt of gratitude which I owe to my countrymen for the honors which they have so generously be stowed upon , me; but, sirs, whether it be my lot to occupy the high office for which the convention has named me or to spend the remainder of my days In private life, it shall be my constant nmbition and my controlling purpose to aid in realizing the high Ideals of those whose wisdom and courage and sacrifices brought this republic into existence. I can conceive of a national destiny surpassing the glories of the: present and the past a destiny -which meets the responsibilities of today'and meas ures up the possibilities of the future. Behold a republic, resting securely upon the foundation stones quarried by revolutionary patriots from the mountain of eternal truth ra republic applying in practice and proclaimng to the world the self-evident. proposi- tion that all men are crated equal; that they are endowed with inalienable rights; that governments are instituted among men to secure , these rights; that governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the gov erned. Behold a republic in. which civil and religious liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor, ami in which the law restrains every hand uplifted for aS neighbor's Injury a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign but In which no one cares to wear a crown. Behold a republic standing-erect while empires all around are bowed -beneath the weight of their own armaments a, republic whose flag Is loved while other flags are only feared. Behold a republie increasing in (population. In Wealth, in strength and Jn affluepce, solving the problems of j civilization and hastening the' coming of an uni versal brotherhood a republic which shakes thrones and dissolves aristocra cies by Its silent example and gives light and inspiration to those who sit In darkness. Behold a republic grad ually but sorely becoming the supreme moral factor in the world's progress and the accepted arbiter of the world's disputes a republic whose history, ilke the path of the Just, "la as the shining . light that shineth . more ana more Into the perfect day.! this summer?
