WASHINGTON LETTER.
BY CHAS. A. EDWARDS.
November 23, 1903.
The comments of leading demo
crats here on the recent high-band
ed manner of the republican ad
ministration in dealing with the
new defacto republic of Panama,
and its action prior to the so called
revolution on the Isthmus, are in
the nature of bitter denunciations
of the outrage perpetrated on a
friendly nation. They claim that
Roosevelt has outraged all prece
dent and placed a blot on the fair
name of this nation for dealing
with its contemporaries in a fair
aud just manner. That is but
.mother step i:i the imperial policy.
That ihe game he is playing is that
"might makes right," aud he is
doing all this simply to play into
the hands of the gang who will
profit by the increase in the price
if the bonds of the Panama Canal
Company when a treaty with the
opera bouffe republic is ratified by
tile Senate and by the powers gov
erning the secession republic of
Panama.
When contrasted with past pre
cedents in connection with the re
cognition of new republics, the
actions of the Roosevelt adminis
tration are an outrageous overturn
nig of them all and in indorsement
of secession and an indecent slap
111 f ■'• • "OfcJVeak sister nation.
[• President Jackson refused
to recognize the new republic of
Texas, and said thaf it was impor
ant that we observe a course
wisely consistent with our just
principles." President Grant re
fused to recognize the republic of
Cuba and so did President McKin
ley, and tlicre-was many more rea
sons why that republic should
have been recognized than the new
mushroom republic of Panama. In
speaking of Culm and his reasons
lor not granting recognition of its
independence at that time, Presi
dent McKinley said: "In dealing
with cases like these the further
condition imposes itself that rccog-"
uition of independent statehood i
iiot- due to a revolted dependency
until the danger of its bjng agnii£
mbjogated l>y the parent state hu
>.«a>tirely passed away." I)oes any
sane man believe that Colombia
could not quickly subjugated Pana
ma if there had not been United
States war vessels present to inter
feie with the action of the Colom
bian forces and warn tlieui to keep
hands off ? What did we tliihk of
the attempt of to recog
ni;re the Confederacy in 18C1 ?We
■varned her to keep hands off, and
she did so. ' 'l'lie whole truth, as
nelieved here by the best iulorine«i
o.i this subject, is that this revolt
,vas plamud overnight in the city
of New York and carried out b>
American guns, aud at the insti
gation and connivance of thiscoun
try, every, move of which was
• known in advance by this republi
can adtniuiiliaiiou. livery move
.uid every step prttvcJfThis or it
proves nothing. Tlie French stock
ijierator and speculator who pre
lends to represent the new republic
of Panama at this Capitol, was re
ceived by President Roosevelt with
a gieat show of spectacular cere
atony, and the new republic duly
rcojKiiized by the Unit-d State* us
' one oi the nations of the earth. lie
declares the Panama raid represent
ed the "nnop;*»sed will of the peo
ple of Panama," hut w*hat of Col
onibia, which was the patent state?
' It hid proposed an expedition to
sti| pre*» the revolt such as General
Soon sui ted to Cnarle*tou iu iß6i,
under Major Anderson, but our
President of the day took sides with
ifie secessionists in Panama and
' ordeied our naval forces to resist
the landing of any force sent out
hv the republic of Colombia in the
execution of its constitutioua' duty
to maintain the unity of the South
American republic. Does uot this
, stnke thinking Americans who
Ixiast - well 11 guiated conscience as
au audacious i*rformance, resting
' on unbi idled po.vers and at war
with every recog:'Eied principle of
]ii B Utful Ainciican conduct? We
trampled on the weak, declared se
(.esfciya to be rig' tt d. and pi'jnot
v.d. Is it not a shameful
' i« our national history ? To whom
! does disgrace aud dishonor attach ?
i I,et the people atiswer the question.
The whole milk iu the coeoannt
of this disgraceful proceeding came
. out ty»-t|py when it was announced
|in the Netf V'oik press that
(J. Pierpout Morgau & Coqipany
1; ad been made the fccal agent* of
1 |j-y uew rrpoidic ci Panama in this
- . • . tu .
country- That means that this
firm of "Captains of Finance" will
(nuance the new republic and pfc
the 1 ake-off. That accounts for the
fact that the New York San,which
lias been hitherto bitterly antagon
istic to Roosevelt, has come out
and endorsed the action of the ad
ministration in garroting and rob
bing the republic of Colombia.
The paper is owned and controlled
by Mr. Morgan. It also shows
that all the talk about Wall street
and the Morgan interests being op
posed to Roosevelt will no longer
go down the throats of a hitherto
over credulous i üblic. They aie
all together now in one band of
commercial freebooters and Bashi
Bazouks.aud it is singularly unfor
tunate that Senator Gorman's lead
ership in the Senate has failed com
pletely to get the democrats in that
Ixxlv to refuse absolutely to have
anything to do with the new opera
bouffe republic acd defeat any trea
ty that may come before it for rati
fication. The man who votes in
the Setiaie to ratify a treaty with
this Roosevelt-made republic will
find himself confronted with the
charge of endorsing a dishonorable
action.
* * *
It is generally conceded that the
democrats must carry the states of
New York and New Jersey in the
ucxt presidential election in order
to win. Conceding that those two
states are absolutely necessary for
democratic success next year, it
may be interesting for the demo
crats of the country to know the
kind of democracy that must con
trol in the state of New Jersey next
year if we would win that state.
An illustration drawn from the
last Congressional election in that
state last year will su (Bee to give
them this information. In one of
the Congressional districts that was
democratic, the democrats nomi
nated a man named DeWitt Clin
ton Flanagin, a man of wealth, re
finement, culture and social dis
tinction. He represented only
those things that republicans like
and of which they were uot afraid.
He was indorsed by Grover Cleve-
-Und, who Wcs in his district, and
wlioXmade \a speech for him, the
fir t Jie had made since his retire
ment \froni Itlie presidency. Not
ivitlistatwliag all this and the furth
er fact that Mr. Flanagin spent
la r ge sums of money, he was de
feated. - - -
On the other hand, in another
district that was normally republi
can by at)Out'4;ooo majority, and
in which the republicans noininat
-0 t the millionaire thread manufac
turer, Baibour, and in which
tile democratic nomination went
l*-Kging, I he democrats won a splen
did victory. Alter the nomination
in this district had been dcchued
In u nnnibcr of democrats, a young
democrat named William Hughe*,
a lawyer without mouev, but with
character and brains and real de
mocracy, accepted the nomination
a, a mailer of party honor. He
announced from the beginning of
tue campaign that he had no tuou
ey with which to buy votes, «ml
Said that he did not want a vote
that had to be purchased. He ilso
s lid that if he were elected it would
mean a real democratic triumph and
u slit p in the face of monopoly and
trust domination and the rule of
the predatory rich. He roundh
denounced all those things from
start to finish of the campaign, and
the result was that he was elected
by the honest men of the district
by 3,900 majority, a change of
8,000 votes in the district.
That should teach the democrats
of lite country that if they ho|* to
carry the state of New Jersey in
the next presidential election they
must uominate a man for president
«ho stands fur the things and the
kind of democracy that ' Billy"
Hughes stands for or they may as
well hang their harp on a willow
tree. A look over the field of men
iiKiitioued fer the nomination on
the democratic ticket will discover
to the acute observer of the limta
the man who filla the hilL
