Expansion and Imperialism

JOURNALS that all along have been the most friendly to expansion and the national administration, are now compelled to admit that the course of expansion and of the administration is that of imperialism only. Thus speaks the Chicago Times-Herald, which has been one of the leading administration papers:—
The American people are expansionists via the old safe and reliable territorial route, which can not lead to imperialism.
The Republican leaders in Washington are bent on taking the colonial route, which starts and ends in imperialism.
It is a struggle between government by the people and government by caucus, and we are inclined to believe that government by the people in the United States will win in the end every time.
It is certain that the people have not yet won this time. And whether they will “in the end,” is a problem yet to be solved.
