Protectorate Plan Advocated Would Violate Our Treaty Pledges and Turn the Islands Over to the Tagal Assassins. Senator Knute Nelson Opened the Republican campaign at Alexandria, Minn., September 1 with a masterly speech on the Philippine question, delivered in his usual concise and convincing manner. The town hall was packed to the doors. Senator Nelson held the attention of his audience and at times the applause was deafening. He was at his best. The speech was entitled "The Philippine Question in Its Various Aspects." Senator Nelson opened with this convincing statement: "That our country had good ground for declaring war against Spain and that the war was a just one, fairly and humanely carried on to a most successful, honorable and glorious issue, is conceded by all, and is not a matter of controversy. The American people, without regard to party, are responsible for the war. The bill appropriating $50,000,000 for war preparation and the resolution declaring war were passed by a unanimous vote of both houses." He then rapidly stated the events which led to Dewey's victory and to the advent of Aguinaldo on the islands by the courtesy of Dewey. Suspicion was first directed toward Aguinaldo by General Anderson when on July 18, 1898, he notified the war department: "I suspect also that Aguinaldo is secretly negotiating with the Spanish authorities as his confidential aide is in Manila." On the 24th of the same month Aguinaldo advised General Anderson of the "undesirability of disembarking North American troops in places conquered by the Eilipinos without previous notice to this government" (meaning to himself). Review of Events at Manila. Senator Nelson renewed the events of June and July in a rabid manner effectually disproving the time worn and long disproved argument that Dewey entered into an alliance with Aguinaldo. As early as June 9 Aguinaldo is known to have been in secret negotiation with Captain General Augustine, the Spanish commandant at Manila. His idea was an alliance to drive the Americans from the islands. LATER ON A GENERAL MASSACRE OF OUR FORCES AND OF ALL WHITE PEOPLE WITHIN THE CITY WAS CONTEMPLATED. On the 7th of January, 1899, Aguinaldo wrote from Malolos to a friend in Manila, among other things, as follows: "I beg you to leave with your family and to come here to Malolos, but not because I wish to frighten you. I merely wish to warn you for your satisfaction, although it is not yet the day or the week." The Uprising Against Our Flag. Senator Nelson gave full details of the barbarous orders from Theodore Sandico for an uprising in Mantla, to be accompanied by the burning and looting of the city and the murder of all foreigners including Chinese. Concluding Senator Nelson said: "I have thus almed, in this brief but authentic narrative of Aguinaldo and his insurrection, to show you the inception and nature of the Tagal rebellion in Luzon, and the character and purposes of Aguinaldo and his military chiefs. Aguina'do's Lust for Power. "It is evident that lust of power and self-aggrandizement, rather than the real freedom of the Filipinos, has been the aim and purpose of Aguinaldo and his chiefs from the beginning till the present time. "The insurrection which he and they started in 1896 they abandoned for a price in December, 1897. When war came on with Spain and Dewey was about to start for Manila, they saw an opening and easy way to start another insurrection. To Dewey they professed a desire to aid him in expelling the Spaniards—their hereditary tyrants and oppressors. "Among themselves they planned, through the aid of Dewey and his forces, to enter Luzon, procure arms and start an insurrection, ostensibly against Spain, but really in hostility to the United States. They came to Luzon under false pretenses and with base treachery in their hearts. "They had no sooner landed and gotten their insurrection affoat and armed their forces with weapons, furnished by Dewey, than they began to open negotiations with the Spanish commander, for the purpose of combining with him to expel our forces from Manila. Failing to get this cooperation, they laid siege to Manila for the purpose of capturing and looting it before the arrival of our forces. When our troops finally landed, they received them in an unfriendly and hostile spirit, and continued to harass and annoy them in various ways. And when Manila was captured by our forces, without their co-operation, and they were not permitted to enter and loot the city, they threw off the mask and assumed a belligerent attitude to our forces. They next opened negotiations with Gen. Rios at liliolo, for the purpose of making common cause, and combining him against our forces, and through his piancy they secured possession of the city before the arrival of our forces." Surrender of Manila. When Manila surrendered and there were no longer any Spaniards to fight, they renewed their siege against the city and our forces with increased vigor. They planned to burn, sack and loot the city, and to strike down and slaughter every living human being in it, except their own people; and two brutal, though abortive, attempts were made to carry out the barbarous and demoniac plan. If we study the records and proceedings of their so-called government, it is apparent that it is nothing but a pure dictatorship—a mere military oligarchy of Aguinaldo and his chiefs (all Chinese Mestizos)—with no basis of choice or consent among the masses. It exists and is tolerated, such as it is, through fear and ignorance. Ignorance of the Americans, their character and system of government; and fear of Aguinaldo, his junta and armed followers. Is it not plain to any unbiased mind, after studying the record of Aguinaldo and his junta ever since the insurrection of 1896, that it is as much our moral duty to relieve the Filipino people from the incubus and tyranny of this military oligarchy as of Spanish rule? It would be a greater misfortune and greater calamity to hand the Filipino people over to the mercies of such a government than to have left them in the hands of the Spaniards. Is it not our moral as well as our legal duty to suppress, first of all, this insurrection, started under such false pretenses, with such treachery and under such auspices and leadership as this Tagal rebellion in Luzon? Bryan Indorsed Administration. We acquired the islands fairly by conquest, ratified and confirmed by a treaty, which had the indorsement of Mr. Bryan. He was at Washington on the eve of its ratification and urged his party to join in ratifying the treaty. The insurrection of 1898 would never have had an inception nor flourished but for the fact that our flag was in the islands, and permitted Aguinaldo and his chiefs to land. Coming into the islands under our flag, our protection, and our assistance, as they did, Aguinaldo and his chiefs had no more legal or moral right to set up a claim or title hostile to the United States than a tenant, coming into possession by the permission of his landlord, has the right to question or set up a hostile title to the latter. We acquired, by conquest and treaty, as complete a title to the Philippine islands as to Porto Rico, and we have taken no more steps to obtain the consent of the Porto Ricans than of the Filipinos. The government we have established for the Porto Ricans is a government we have given them, and not a government they have given themselves. Merely a Tagal Affair. According to the most conservative data, the Philippine group embrace an area of about 120,000 square miles and a population of 7,000,000. Luzon has a little more than one-third of this area and a little less than one-half of this population. There are three different races and over eighty different tribes, of various degrees of civilization, in the group. Most of the people belong to the Malayan race; less than one-half million belong to the other two races. The principal tribe is the Visayas, occupying the Visaya group of islands, situate between Luzon on the north and Mindanao on the south. The Visayas occupy an area of 28,000 square miles, number about 2,600,000 and are as civilized and intelligent as the Tagals. The next tribe, in numbers, is the Tagals, who occupy Luzon, and number 1,664,000—about one-half of the population of this island. The insurrection is a Tagal insurrection, and the insurrectionary government is a Tagal government. The other tribes and the people of the other islands had no voice and were not represented in the formation or management of this government. The Tagal government of Aguinaldo in Luzon originated in and rests wholly upon military force, and has not, even in Luzon, to say nothing about the many other important islands, come into existence or continued by the free choice or voluntary consent of the people sought to be governed. Its scope and authority is limited to the territory occupied by its armed bands and detachments in Luzon. The consent of the governed is neither asked, sought nor expected. The great mass of the people are as helpless and where within reach of the Tagal government under as abject subjugation under Aguinaldo's military oligarchy as they ever were under the Spaniards in the years that are past. Bryan Would Haul Down Old Glory. Bryan Would Haul Down Old Glory. It is to such an insurrection and to such a government that our adversaries would have us lay down our arms and surrender our control and authority. It is this insurrection and this government that we should have encouraged and set up as a permanent establishment and have made ourselves the protectors of. It is to this government of Aiginaldo's that we should retroce the title and authority we acquired from Spain. When we ratified the treaty we should have given assurance of all this, and then all would have been well. It is because we have failed to do all this and because we are suppressing the insurrection, bringing order out of chaos and attempting to give the Filipinos a just, safe and liberal government—superior to any they have ever had or possibly could acquire through Aguinaldo and his chiefs—that we are guilty of imperialism and guilty of threatening the liberties of our own people by an increased standing army. Bryan's Imperialism. BUT IT IS ON HIS CRITICISMS THAT MR. BRYAN IS LOFTY AND SOARS TO IMPERIAL HEIGHTS. WHEN HE COMES TO LAY DOWN A PROGRAM OF HIS OWN HE IS LESS ELUSIVE, LESS STARTLING, AND APPROACHES REPUBLICAN GROUND NEARER THAN HE APPREHENDS. In his Philippine program he would, first, establish a stable form of government. That is exactly what the Republican party aims to do. But this implies that there is no such government there now, not even Aguinaldo's government. What Mr. Bryan admits by implication we assert as a positive fact, and we further assert that the first step in the establishment of a stable form of government is to suppress the existing insurrection and insurrectionary government, and that a stable form of government can not well be established before this is done. Different in Case of Cuba. Different in Case of Cuba. Even this Mr. Bryan admits by implication, for he says we should do as we have done in Cuba. And what have we done there? When our forces went to Cuba there was a Cuban republic and a Cuban army. There was no Filipino government nor Filipino army when Dewey entered Manila bay. In Cuba, through our efforts, and aided by the good sense of Gomez and his chiefs, the Cuban republic has been permitted to expire and the Cuban army has long ago been disbanded, and by the aid and co-operation of the Cubans we are engaged in the effort of establishing de novo a stable government there. Had Aguinaldo and his chiefs followed the example of Gomez and his chiefs we should before this have been long on the way towards establishing a stable government in the Philippines. Under the circumstances we have not, as Mr. Bryan contends, been dilatory in establishing such a government. In 1846 our armed forces took possession of California, and continued to hold it pending the Mexican war, the ratification of the treaty of peace, and until it became a state in 1850. California never had a territorial form of government, but remained under the control of the any from 1846 until it became a state. There was no insurrection in California, and yet, for upwards of two years after the treaty of peace, it was governed through the military department of the government, and this was held by our supreme court to be a valid and constitutional government, nor were we accused of being dilatory in giving California a state government. But it is asserted that the Filipinos are entitled to absolute independence, and that we have no right to govern them without their consent. Our Duty a Sacred One. If this is true, what right have we to impose any form of government upon them? They may insist that they have the right to establish just such a form of government as they see fit and that it is not our business to establish any form for them. What then? Are we to abandon the scheme or are we to watch, wait and pray for their consent, or are we to go on regardless of it. And in case we do go on to establish a stable government without their consent, and they see fit to resist and to go into an insurrection—as they are now doing—against our present efforts to establish a stable government, and we resort to arms to repress such resistance and insurrection—as they are now doing—against our present efforts to establish a stable government, and we resort to arms to repress such resistance and insurrection and insist upon establishing a stable government at the point of the bayonet, will not this bring us back into the slough of imperialism with the ghost of a standing army in the background? There is only one sure escape from such a gloomy outcome. It is to leave it to the Filipinos to say what constitutes a stable form of government. But if we do that there is really no occasion for our giving any consideration at all to their form of government. There is no need of giving them any form of government at all. That should be left wholly to themselves. As to a Protectorae. Having given the Filipinos a stable form of government, Mr. Bryan would give them their absolute independence and then protect them from the interference of other nations. If it is our duty to establish a stable form of government, it follows that it is our duty to see that such a form of government is maintained, for without it, we cannot afford them adequate protection against other nations. If we assume a protectorate over the islands, foreign governments would expect and require, and would have a right to expect and require that we maintain a stable government there. A government that would protect the life, property and commerce of foreigners to the same extent as amosg the civilized nations of the world. Without such a government we would, before the world, have no more right to say in foreign nations, you must keep out of the Philippines, than we have to say to foreign nations at this time, that you must keep out of China. The Protectorate Humbug. If we were to assume a protectorate over China it would be our duty to see that China accorded ample protection to the lives, property and business of foreigners. And recent events have demonstrated what a task this would be. And the Filipinos, in all their entirety, with their more than eighty different tribes and their varied and inferior degrees of civilization, are far less fitted for self-government than the Chinese, who have maintained an organized government for centuries. Mrs. G. W. Atkinson, widow of Governor Atkinson and a leader in the woman's movement, is a candidate for state librarian of Georgia. Mrs. Atkinson has for several months been engaged in the insurance business and has met with pronounced success. Many a woman, sick and weary of life, dragged down by weakening drains, painful irregularities, depression, and the hundred and one ailments which affect women only, has found in Pe-ru-na a bright star of hope, which has changed her misery to joy, her suffering to health. No woman need suffer from the derangements peculiar to her sex, if she will give Pe-nuna a fair trial. The majority of weaknesses which make woman's life a burden, spring from a simple cause. The mucous membrane which lines the pelvic organs becomes weakened and inflamed owing to strain, cold, overwork, etc. This causes catarral congestion, inflammation, painful irregularities, depression of spirits, irritability, weakness and suffering. It shows in the haggard lines of the face, the dull eyes, the sallow Complexion and angular form. For the prompt cure of such ailments, the patient must "the blues," clear the complexion brightens the eyes, changes thinness to plumpness, and cures pains, aches and drains, because it immeasurably increases the troubles and removes the cause.
