putation, and we less than any other
who want money as a loan. 1t is
our plow' our saw, and our locomo-
tive, and we can not afford to lose
the reputation of honesty. We have
it, and we shall keep it. We have
refused to repudiate our just obliga-
tions, expressed or implied, and we
have received the benefit of our in
tegrity and honesty Applause. I
| am thankful for that expression OF
your appreciation, but it is not what
I expected. l expected to see you
90 wild. There is another matter
which I think has been demonstrated
by this conflict, and that is, that this
nation is peaceful nation as well as
a warllke one. The capacity Of war
is liz us, but the disposition of peace
rules; and it ought to be known
that great as our power is, we don't
desire to infringe on the liberty of
any other or to circumscribe its
| freedom. God has given US enough
in all conscience. We have more
than we can attend to, and more
than we can give away. We want
no more territory; We want to dis
-turb 10 nation in their terriory; we
want the world to understand that
we are at peace with Mexico and
with Central America and the West
India Islands. I am at peace with
Cuba, and I wish the Cubans would
lick out those spanyards. Ap
plause.] L would willingly do every
thing 1 could without violating the
proper neighborhood OF nations to
attain that end. General Grant and
feel alike on that subject. He
would like to see that thing settled
in the right way, but we don't see
how our hands are to get into IT.
We want the world to understand
this is no nation of freebooters
Fillbustering has habits millennium
We say to England, which was dis
turbed at,our magnitude, and wished
to see US cut in two, and to France
who held the babe in one hand while
EngIand raised the sword to sever
its head from its body, America
wants no war. She will tole. ate nc
foreign soldier on her soil, and sht
will put no soldiers on theirs
Peace for them-peace for US; fol
we hold that we have advanced il
the life of nations to the period il
which we are to share the higher
grades Of civilization with the ma
tions of the earth. Let US educate
the people, preserve the liberty o
the people consistently with The
rights, one of the other; give full
federation in religion, give bound
less freedom to commerce, freedom
Of thought, of sentiment, freedom o
belief, freedom Of trade, freedom
everywhere, and that is abundantlJ
sufficient for the wants of the world
