A Few Eormer "Impcrlallsts,"
Somo of tho opponenta of tho bo
called "impcrialiat" policy which haa
been good Ittpublicauisni for ninoty
flvo years put forward what thoy re
gard aa a perfectly crushing areunient
in the form of a "deadly paralltl." On
ono side they range tho long line of
former secreturieB of State, from Jef
fersou to Oluey, under the head of
"anti-impcriuliats," "Little Amoricaus,"
etc, and on the other the two aecre
tarieB of State who havo been identl
liedwith tho acquiaition of uew terrl
tory under the prteent adtniniatratiou.
Then with wilhering sarcaam they aak
if thcBO two aro greuter than all prede
ceasora. The point is not well taken. It
might have aome force if the funda
mtntul premieo were correct namely,
that thu former BtcretarieB, fromJef
ferBon to Oluey, were all unti-expan-eioniata,
But every schoolboy with
ackuowledgments to Mucaulay knows
Buch was not the caae. The flret on
tho list ls Thomaa Jefferaon; tho firsl
expanBioniBl; the founder of what in
that day was fearsomtly called imperial
ism; the PreBident who doubled the
area of our domaiu by annexing remote
territories, occupied by aliens and sav
agea, and who did so and set up a gov
ernment over Buch territory wlthout
BBking the conuent of the inhabitanls.
Vhy, Jefferaou waa one of the most
rampant, rambunciiouB expansiouists,
imperialiatB aud jingoes the world haa
ever secn. A little way down the lict
ia Jamos Madiaon. Ho waa Jefferson'B
right-hand raan in the taBk of lounding
the "empire" by the anuexation of
LouiBiana. Next ia Jamca Mouroe, who
setforth the doctrine ao hated by these
Bame critica of expanaion, and who con
tinued tho "itnperiuliet" policy by an
nexini; Florida. Aftcr him cornes John
Quiucy Adams, who aided and abctted
hica in hia imperialiam, and who went
further and declared that one of theao
daya we must go beyond coutiucntal
limitB aud annex tho island of Cuba.
Next Henry CUty, tho supreme kniyht
errant of jingoism, who not only want
ed to fiubt European powers for tho
liberatiou of South Amcrlca, but would
have interveued in purely European af
faira by declnriug war agamst tho op
nreBBors of Greece. Ia it to him the
anti-imnerialistB turn for comfort? Af-
ter an lntervul of one comeB John C

IngBiich oorrcollon, I am compelled, olther
by Bllonco to admlt tlio report fair, or mako
thlsBlatement:
Tlio sugRHKtlons in this connection arlHo
from the Washltif'ton cuntnnnial in Gover
nor Dlllingliam'H poriod, and tho McKluley
luauRuratlon aud dedicatton of the Urant
mouument in my period; on eucli of which
occaaions tlie guaid was used aa an occort
to the govornor and uoder sliullar, it not
iilensical circumstauces, in each CttBe. The
partlcular point is that tlio ullowance to
tho guard by me, amouulluK to 81,008, is
made by the report a part of my oxeoutlro
expenBoa and the allowancn to tlie guard by
Governor DillinBham of 83,102. is uot made
apartof hls executlve expeuses nor does
the fact that tho fiiiard acted as hia acort
in New York appiar in the report. I also
wlah to call attenllon to the faot that my
aocount 1b otherwlBe 822 too large, made ao
by ovlilont errors In two lieina aud that
Qovernor DdllnRham's ia 841(1 too amall.
I also clalui that the allowances to the
gnard by bolh Gov. Dillluchaui aud myselt
are not oxecutlvo expenaes aud alioukl be
treated the aatue in both Inntancea.
Sectlon 4417 V. 8., glves the governor
power to oider each year three daya' parado
of the guaul, by reglinent or company, at
Buch tlme aud place, aa ho directa and aub
ieot to Buch ruaulalioua as he presorlhea.
i'urauant to this autliorlti I gave el(jht com
panles a paraile iu New Yotk ot two days
wlth nllowauce to correspond. If theao
couipauiuB hnd boen giveu a parado In Ver
mont prolmbly the comuiittee would uot
havo thouRht of inaklug the cost an execu
tlve expeuse. Tho governor iiaving a rlglit
to put ilio parado when and wliere ho
plt'uaeil reudurs it aa iiiuch a milltia ex
peiiro in one place aa anotber.
Then I proteat that the cost of auch a pa
rade is no more au exHoutlvo expeude than
viutlio coat of tho Cheater muater, which
waa authorized by tlie sameBtictlou of law
and iloea nol anv moro belong to my ofllclal
expenBea than the balance ol what the mt-
lllii coat, lue otaie iu lue jear ioui.
