For Vice-President, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. THE U1ITED STATES IN CHINA What is to be the policy of the United States in China? This question has been uppermost in the minds of all who are interested in public affairs, at least since the convention at Phila delphia completed its work. Men of Bryan's cast, to be consistent, caoaot help but side with the Boxers, In their fight against foreigners. They re present the patriotism, the national spirit, of China, and of course, since the in low of foreigners In China has beea nothing ehort of "criminal aggression," the Boxers have the right and the Bryan party must take their aide. But when we come to look at the deeper aspects of the matter, wo see, besides desire on the part of the Chinese to keep foreigners out of the country and kill off those who are in, a firm determination on the part of Russia and other European nations to saiza the territory of the Chinese empire, and divide it up into colonial dependencies of the various powers. The fight of the Boxers Is against western civilization. It is against the Ciristian religion. It is against the ideas of government represented by the English and the Americans. Jt can not be denied either that Russia has got a firm hold on the Chinese rul ing powers. The Chinese can under stand the Russian ep'rit, that of unscrupulous monarchical suppression within and aggression without, and they do not offer any effective resist ance to the steady inroad of the Rus sians into their territory. Russia has an Immense advantage In having secured concessions for the trans-Asiatie railway. Russia will push her Imperial railway through the heart of China, to reach a splendid harbor on the Pacific, :'n Chinese ter ritory. This is not for the goad of China, it Is needless to say, but for the aggrandizement of the Russian empire. If Russia should secure absolute con trol over China or the larger part of it, the result would be that every other nation in the world would be almost entirely shutout from the mag nificent market. Ru99la believes in erecting an impassible barrier against the commerce of the world, in order to force her people to make themselves self supporting. The open door would be no more. The Greek religion would predominate. The Russian form government would be perpetuated, and China would be lost to the rest of the world. Of what Interest Is all this to us? To no people in the world more than to the people of the southern United States. The great develapmeat 2 cotton factories of the south In reoent years has been largely, if not principal ly,due to the Increase of trade with the orient, China especially. The poor people who have been brought front the mountains and worked-out farms to ltbor at good wages In the factories of the south are absolutely dependent on maintaining the market for Ameri can cotton produots in China. The United States has grown Indus trially beyond tne power or Its own people to absorb its product. "More Markets," is the cry. We must ex paad, expand commercially, la order to provide markets for our enormous surplus. And nowhere else in the world is there such a market as China, Nowhere la there likely to be such magnificent opening within the life time of men now living. To the un numbered maeees of the orient we must look to consume our surplus i nearly every line of our production and if that door should be olosed the blow to this country would be appal ling. Algernon Sartoris, grandson of General Grant, has expressed In a re cent letter the view of a large propor tion of the progressives of the United States. General Grant, says he, once told Li Hung Chang that China hal no future unless she depended on in ternal development, after the manner of Japan, rather than upon the selfish interest of outside countries, for polit ical and industrial resurgence. Mr. Sartoris goes on to say: "Why should not the crowning act of President McKinley's administration be worthy ef the great result already accomplished, and let him not only refute to take part In the destruction of the liberty of an ancient people, but declare to the world once and for all that any attempt to divide up China by any or all of the powers would be re garded as an unfriendly act to the United States, as Indeed It would be. "Such action on the president's part would simply put an end to all this quite unnecessary trouble, and in th near future be productive of almost In calculable benefits to this country The Chinese have ever been a grate ful people, and such a policy would sa oure for us commercial supremacy In China. "I do not believe it Is too much to say in fact I firmly believe, In the light of the intense interest which General Grant always manifested ia the far east, and especially in China which he regarded as the greatest of eastern empires that were he holding the helm of state today such is about the course he would steer, always rend ering necessary protection to citizens ia danger and making us in fact, as well as name, a great power in the east great, too, in a way worthy of the tra ditions of a liberty-loving people." That is sound American doctrine, and ought to be made the keynote of the administration's policy in China. The United States has enormous in terests In the orient, present and prospective. We have all to lose and nothing to gain from a partition of China. It is not likely that we would be involved in war if we should take the stand proposed. Sat even if we were, it would only be hastening the time when the United States must fight maintain her supremacy in the world's affairs. The United States is a world power, and no burying of heads in the sand will cause the facts to change one iota. We must realize the fact that our very national existence depends on creating and maintaining constantly widening market9for our surplus prcducts, and the commercial necessities of our situa tion will compel us to maintain those markets by force of arms, if the force of diplomacy falls. hope of the oppressed all over the world. People who cannot understand a word of our language dream of America as the land of freedom equality, and opportunity. The very winds of the earth and the light of the sun seem to carry the message, and slaves and serfs, the downtrodden and destitute, breathe in the message and crowd to our shores. And every year our country absorbs the enormous mass of the world's poor and Ignorant and It gives to tbem our civilization Our fa? Is the flair of all flags that means freedom, equality, acd opportun itv for all men, and it will dominate the world because it is the neares right. Every intelligent American knows that a seoret alliance, such as ha9 been so frequently alleged to exUt by the Brvanltes between the United States and Great Britain, is an Impossibility No agreement is of any force unless it is bound by treaty, and no treaty can hold unless It Is ratified by two-thirds of the senate. The opponents of the administration would take eare that the country knew alliance." all about any "secret Missouri democrats are loud mouth d against expansion, and yet all Mis souri was clamorous until It got $5,000,- 000 from their Uncle Sam with which to whoop up a celebration in honor of one of the earliest expansion move ments, when the eele first stretched its wings over the Louisiana Purchase GeR0NIM S poker winnings of $1, 425, which the old chief recently de posited in a bank, would seem to ar gue that he has achieved one more Btep In his progress towards accepting the white man's standards. He took to fire water quite readily, and poker Is but the logical next step. There is an old superstition that we must have a war every generation; for this belief a review of history will five soma authority. It may be that China has to have a maseaore every generation, for thirty years ago there was a big massacre of Christians at Tien Tsln. Governor Taylor says of Ken tueky politics, "There is a republican majority of 75,000, hut the Goebel party has the machine." But in these days of Bryan and the Boxers, no one has much time to listen to the troubles of one man or one state. The way to get trade in the Span ish American countries Is to send what the people want, first, and to transact business In theirown language and in their own way, second.
