But the ore that is the most fitting, since the revolution Is so nearly ended, Is first to cause the authority of our flag to lie respected and acknowledged by every Phiiip- mo, and then to talk of the kitd cf government we are to give them, We are inexperienced in this wide spread policy and need some example lo make us wise not only after, but before the event. While it is true that the United States presents mDniH.nt ..Ma,. r.r n.nj u haiJ hUherto only on ' ut We have Krown from wiu,in outward. We have hitherto expanded by sending our people wlth American ideas and goverment lnto uncaImed ml ronUguoug ,wr,. torles. Now if we are to expand by accre tion, and our own history presents no guide, let us look to the colonial expsnsion of the European nations. Naturally the first and most un portant lesson we draw from ihsm is a warning. Let us not follow in the footsteps of Rome, that nation which once controlled the whole world. She and sea. But ber downfall was due to none other cause than the bar- barous treatment of her colonists, She regarded them as slaves and possessions. She made them tbe eoiirraa nt all hr rnvnnun. In mnra recent times Spain could not abandon her mediaeval ideas. She not only I imbued her subj'tcts with Catholi- clsm, but on Hum she practiced cruelty and selfishness. Now she w I I08 '' colonial empire, ner dig- ity and her morals. Mismanage-1 ment of forelirn affairs, has brought w ' I her t0 'be position she holds today, I as one of tbe most degraded nations on earth. I This same theory cost England ber first colonial rmpite In America, Yet It taught ber a lesson which she will never foriret.

Let us profit by their grand example. We also are Anglo Saxon and cannot we accomplish aa mucv as rigiaour oo wng as too umim mw lows theas christaln prlncitals on n'cn sue is lounuea sne cannot tan. But let ber depart from them, then her colonial empire win do ion in disgrace. In tha nam of all that I good let the American people remember that we do not own tbe lbilippines, but that we owe tbem the functions of government. Now another question arises, Would It not be wrong for us to de- maod excessive tribute from ou suljevTaa to enslave theru? Ikdh the word of God and the ron'itee of man teaches u that this would l Kron ii Just'ce Nowhere in this land of ours, nor in all Christendom, can one man own another. The day Is coininir, it is even near at hand, when mi man can unjustly tax another. Is not the same principal true of nations? We miht overthrow the Phillpones, tax them excessively, and make ourselves unjustly rich at their expense. Rut would it pay? For evampie take the past and present relations between Englaud aud India. As long as India was controlled by trading men, commerce between the two countries was almost nothing. In 18oS. when India was transferred to the crown, Uuoeii Victoria said. "We hold ourselvea Imnml ti thu nalivw. if mi. lndlan ,erritorlei, b y ,ne mtm obli.

As soon as the open door policy was practised, thei commercial relations were bound to ncrwMe. If we practise this policy I in the Philippine Islands, then ou tr.tde wilt increase not onlv with the Arthii dlato but with Ihe wh.

As a colonizing nation we must do every thing that Is in our power for the welfare of our Philippine subjects, and then happiness will he ours. On the other hand, if we are to get no direct revenue from these islands, we should not be called upon to eon tribute the means to maintain their government. We should tax them enough to make them self support ing, and no more. It weakens i colony financially lo demand from it excensive tribute. Just as true is it that it weakens colonists morally to support them. Let each state liear Its own burdens. This and no other principle is the reason why the American nation Is Anglo-Saxon, not French, There is a limit lo all things. Our Philippine subjects must enjoy all the rights of free government, but as h,n " thpy are incapable of self. I government, we must delegate both the functions and the form of govern ment. The form must be adapted lo the locality and to tbecircumstandes, No one can have a proper conception of government for a distant land un less he have a iersonal knowledge of that land. Surely they can manage their own affairs better than we. Then let us interfere only when af fairs seem to be going wrong. This is the key to Anglo-Xaxon success. Was there ever an empire so widely scattered as the British? The constitutional ties between Eng land and ber colonies are almost im aginary. Just by this policy she controls subjects across the seas, even those in Asia and dark Africa. If we are to succeed we must adopt the English plan. Spain and Portugal governed their dependencies irotn Madrid ami lis- MD, today they See their mistake but it la too late to amend. In order to apply the form of gov ernment most suitable to circnm stances, there are always conditions to be fulfiled. In our own case the soverign country win at present have to send some, if not all of the higher officials. Let us send true Americans- Men who will go there for tha good they ran do snd not lor a political pull. Men who have the ability of the statesman and the fin ancier.
