THE AMERICAN JEW.


''In common with all of my fellow-citi-
zens, | am. heart and soul. in sympathy
7 with this movement. Not only on account
or love for the struggling patriots, but
out of love for and the perpetuity of the
United States. am not actuated by any
/ hatred OF Spain. although springing from
the race Which the cruel Spaniard banishcd,
robbed and murdered, Ihayeonly the feeling
kindred to all men who love the humane and
who care for the best in all forms ofgovern-
ment
Strange, however it is, that the money
torn from the jew in Spain made il pos
sible for Columbus to man his ships to dis
cover this republic. and that many of the
warmest friends and mpathizers with
Cuba to-day, as indeed at all times the
warmest friends and sympathizers of every
struggling nation, are the descendants of
men expatriated robbed and murdered.
History then repeats itself and time makes
all things even.
The American citizen of Jewish faith
vies with his fellow citizens of other faiths

Ihat struggles to throw off the chain

Of monarchy's terrible reign

God speed every country and nation
mat struggles with arms to be free;
CSoiuinDla, the gem of the ocean,"

That echoes from sea unto sea.
And the doctrine of brave James Monroe,
We proclaim to the world at large:

And meet any desperate charge,

Then, let's give TO the treacherous Span

The same dose that he gave unto us
When he thought our republic was dying,
In the throeS of FANNY fuss,
When our only fast friend was the Russ.
America comes to the rescue
Or the hero that gailantly fights.
And should stand by the Cuban in trouble
WIN all our munitions and lights.

The land of the fierce Toruuemeda.
The land of Pizzaro and wrong.

While Liberty sings out this SOng-
Depart! thou hast ruled here too long!
And the Moor and the Jew and the scholar

Through the country of robbers and ty-
rants
Who banished at any foul cost
And murdered in rain, snow and frost.
Then, down with the tyrant forever;
Assassin OF Liberty's cause;
The pirate and burglar OF nations,
with far-rcaching, cowardly claws
Tearing open all sweet human laws.
once more as d nation united,
We'll stand like wild stag at bay
For honor, for home and for loved ones,
Without either fear or tiismay-
