THURSDAY - NOV. 0, ISf 9 EX-VOLUNTEER ON EXPANSION. The Dalles, Or., Nov. 7, '99. To the Editok: JJow while so much is being said and written in regard to expansion or imperialism, as the non-progressive one? have been pleased to term it, I think this an opportune moment in which to say a word in defense of expansion. Through countless ages there never has been an instance where agnation, that achieved any degree of power, lias not bettered itself by grasping everything possible, and whether or not they were the embodiment of good, it has been one of the most potent factors in the spread of civili zation. Just now, when the two great Anglo-Saxon nations are strug gling against a vastly inferior, but a fanatical and narrow-minde:! people, to supplant semi-civilization with the most advanced stage of civilization the world has yet seen, it furnishes a striking example of what Home did in the medimval times when she in vaded England, and what England in tnrn did several centuries later when she laid the foundation for our own great country. The United Stales has often been condemned by many of her own citizens for her actions in regard to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pines, particularly the latter, cn account of the bloodshed entailed in the subjugation of the Tngal tribe, -who comprise one-fifth of the popu lation. Anyone who gives utterance to uoloyal criticisms against our coun try's policy certainly shows traces of a diseased brain, for wure the islands not thrown into our hands- by unfor- seen circumstances in legitimate war fare? Were they not in themselves a very rich archipelago and a valu able acquisition to our country '3 needs in the way of a naval ren dezvous, and commercially? Had they not been poorly governed and oppressed, and did not America offer them a better government than they had ever dreamed of? Does any sane person think it possible for the JIalay race to offer suggestions to the United States in the way of a democratic form of government? And now is it better for us to abandon the Philippines after loos ing 10,000 men, and spending a large amount of money, and leave ten millions of people in the clutches of fanaticism ? Every American' should protest. And more than tliis, behind il all there is a principle; an example to cet. Tradition shows that our own great country has never yet been baffled by circumstances, and our national honor has surely been in sore danger than now, when the Tagal tribe, seconded by a few "anties" within our own borders, assail it. Let us go back to the time when the Spanish controlled the Islands, when the thumbscrew and stocks -were in evidence; when everyone had to pay a cedula, personal or head tax for the privilege of living; when the people woro taxed for every lamp they burned, for oven for the food they ate. This is Aguin aldo's form of extortion. Is the United States nblo to improvo upon it? Surely it is. Treachery has been so thoroughly inculcated m them by the Spanish that it has be come a part of their nature, and any kindness done them is considered as a weakness. "When the Americans took posses sion of the Islands they immediately began their work of reform by abolishing executions. The famous Black Hole on the bank of the Pasig river, whore many Filipinos, sus pected of being tinloyal to the Boy Kiug of Spaiu, were drowned with out a hearing. The prisons were cleaned out, nnd while waiting for orders from their government to continue thuir work of icform, their kindness had been construed as a weakness, and on February 4th the insurgents , commenced the trouble that has proved bo disastrous to them, and now they await subjuga tion. Does any one say stop? Those that do are either Democratic poli ticians or someone equally mistaken. Ax Ex-Okkgox Toi.. Cliiimherlatn'H l'alu llnlm Cures Others. Vliy Jiot You?
