J THE CORMUS GAZETTE. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, 1900. Eor President: william Mckinley of Ohio. For Vice-President: THEODORE ROOSEVELT of New York. For Presidential Electors. TILMON IORD -Marion County J. C. FULLERTON Douglas County W. J. FURNISH Umatilla County O. F. PAYTON Multnomah County CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. Judge M. L. Pipes, a staunch gold democrat, and a former resi dent of Corvallis, has written a letter to the Oregonian in which he considers the "consent of the governed" doctrine of Mr. Bry an. It is a valuable contribu tion to the literature of this cam paign, and is the clearest state ment of the question yet pub lished. We quote the followiug extracts: Mr. Bryan maintains that we have no right to govern the Fili pinos, because they do not con sent to be governed by us. He derives his doctrine from that clause in the Declaration of In dependence that declares that 'all governmeuts derive their just powers from th consent of the governed." But that clause does not mean that the people of a territory belonging to the Unit ed States must first give their consent before we can govern them, or that they can rightfully withdraw it. The Declaration of Independ ence asserted the inherent right of revolution against a despotic government. The colonies put their right to be free on the ground that the government was too bad to be endured. Mr. Bry an does not put his declaration in behalf of the Filipinos on that ground. He says we have no right to govern them at all, though we gave them the best kind of government, and this solely because they don' t want to be subject te our government ri T. l i ne ueciarauon aoes not give color to any such doctrine. W 1 . . 1 mm wnat tne pnrase really means is clearly seen from the context mi . x ne sentence in wmch it occurs asserts that to secure these (the inalieuable rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness), gov ernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of gov ernment becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. It is only when the govern ment becomes destructive of the inalienable rights it was designed to secure tnat tne people Have a right to overthrow it or rebel against it. And the idea is fur t her emphasized: "When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same ob ject, evinces a design to reduos them under absolule despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such governmeut, and provide new guards for their future security." And then the Declaration enumerates as causes for their separation 14 distinct acts of despotism. So we see how, by wresting the phrase from its context, and ignoring A. 1 . . . uie circumstances tnat gave rise to the words, it is made to mean that a government must first ap ply to its new subjects for leave to compel them to obey its laws and submit to its authority, and when they have notified us of their determination not to sub- mn Dy snooting our soiaiers, we are not justified in maintaining the government and putting down the rebellion. Now the Filipino has a right to be free. Mr. Bryan says so, and we all agree with him. But the Words of freedom, liberty, independence, are used in differ ent meanings. Mr. Bryan ar gues that because the Filipino has a right to freedom, they have a right to institute a gov eminent of their own. Freedom as predicated of the individual, or of a nation, or people, has different significations. A man is free when he lives under a government that protects him in his rights of person and property. A people or nation is free or in dependent when it has autonomy and sovereignty, free from the control of any other sovereignty. The two things do not necessari ly exist in the same place. A man may not be free though he lives under an independent gov ernment. On the other hand, the inhabitant of a colony sub ject to the jurisdiction of a na tion beyond the sea, may enjoy the fullest measure of freedom. The first kind of freedom the freedom of the individual is an inalienable right. Every man on the face of the globe is en titled to it. The proper and principal object of every govern ment on earth is to secure him this freedom. That is what governments are for, and that is all thay are properly for. .But the freedom or independence of any particular section or tne globe as a sovereign state is not an inalienable right. The earth is divided between numerous nations. The territorial limits of these have constantly changed in the past, and will continue to change in the future. These limits are determined from many circumstances. But whether one nation r auother has juris diction over a particular terri tory, has- no necessary connec tion with the inalienable rights of the people of it. If the terri tory is acquired and the dotmn- ion over it is exercised tne peo ple there owe allegience to the government under which they find themselves. And this does not deprive them of any right whatever. If we rightfully ob tained jurisdiction over the Phil ippine Islands, it was not only our right, but our duty, to gov ern them. And conceding this jurisdiction, the Filipinos have no more right to resist the gov ernment of the United States than an Oregonian has to resist it. It is his government, as it is ours, and until it becomes op pressive he, as well as every other inhabitant under the pro tection cf our laws, must obey them. And the United States rightly acquired such jurisdiction. Every nation has a right to acquire ter ritory. That includes the propo sition that every nation has a right to cede territory. To say that the inhabitants must first consent to the new dominion is to donv the right of acquisition and cession. This has always been the theory and practice of nations and of the United States The Filipinos were under the dominion of Spain and owed allegience to its government. They had not successfully re belled, but were the subjects of Spain when the treaty of cession was ratified. At the instant the treaty was ratified the territory and people of the Philippines came within the jurisdiction of the United States. From that instant the Filipino owed no allegience to Spain. His alle gienoe was due to the United States. That allegience was due by virtue of the fact that the Philippines became United States territory. It was due for the same reason, that every other in habitant of our territory not the subject of some foreign govern ment owes allegience to the United States. No man has the inherent, in trinsic or inalienable right to be the subject of any particular gov crnment. The relation of sub ject and sovereign does not arise in the first place by agreement or consent of the subject, but of necessity. Every human being on earth is born a subject ot some government. He has nothing to do with it except to be born He is not consulted. Me may indeed under modern practice usually become the subiect of another nation by swearing a new allegiexce and forswearing his old allegience. But that is not an inalienable right. It is a right bestowed and regulated by the laws of expatriation and of naturalization of the several na tions. The right of each nation to-refuse naturalization or resi dence of subjects of any other nation is fully affirmed in the international code. It has been exercised by the United States against the Chinese. The Fili pino; therefore, had no inalien able right to choose whether he would be a subject of the United States. His consent was not necessary. He became such by virtue ot elemental principles governing the relation of subject and sovereign the world over, principles that are not man-made theories, but which flow from the very necessities of things.
