If the Senator will permit me. I will state that. so far as I can judge of the temper of the Democratic party. if Mr. Bryan should be elected. the difficulty of governing those people by carpetbaggers will not trouble anybody very much. We do not consider that it is a function of the United States to undertake to educate 10.000.000 of Asiatics. who have been taught in the Spanish schools. what free government is or what selfgovernment is. and we do not propose to undertake to find enough honest men to go over there and administer the affairs of those slands in a decent Democratic way.
