Miles for Parker and the Frederick the Great statue debate
A long open letter by General Nelson A Miles endorses Alten B Parker for president and argues imperialism versus reciprocity. He links U S expansion to Cuba and the Philippines, urges waterway improvement, and advocates a broad, patriotic domestic program while warning against centralized power and imperialist symbolism in Washington. He critiques a planned Frederick the Great statue amid a war college project and urges November voting on national questions. He extols constitutional guarantees and stresses harmony between capital and labor, urging a strong republic.
