Grafton of that sedate and conservative
body. Parts of the resolution were as
follows:
The war between Spain and the in
surgents of Cuba has continued until
all Christendom is shocked by its bar
barities; pretended autonomy has been
offered by Spain and refused by the Gu
bans in arms the Spanish, as war meas
ure, burned the homes and drove the
women and children into the fortified
towns, where some of them have been
starved, others have been murdered, and
women and children have been debauched
and treated beyond the power of lang
uage to describe. Daughters of insurg-
ents have been sold into houses of infa-
my, and boys of tender years have been
shot as spies, under the form Of civil
lied Wal. American citizens have been
driven into the towns, refused an op-
portunity to work, and left to starve, as
a part of the Spanish war measure, un-
til we were compelled to take, by APP
propriating funds of the people of the
United States large sum- of money tc
feed and clothe our citizens and return
them to our country, and now the con-
centrados are unfed and starving, naked
and filthy, insomuch that disease and
death are annlhilating them and spread
ing to our own country. Hundreds of
thousands have persisted in this way and
by this means.
The unholy work of determination
goes on; the slaughter of innocents and
n-combatants goes on; the flag of
truce has been abandoned, and extermi-
nation or independence of the insurgents
must be the final outcome. The people
of the United States are sending money,
food and clothing to Cuba to aid the
dying Cubans, which ought to be furn-
ished by Spain, fer the reason that the
concentrates are the legitimate wards of
Spain and SO regarded by every CIV
ilized nation in the world. Under
the present charity seeking course of
the administration charitably disposed
citizens of the United States cannot con-
tribute money, medicine, food or CLOTH
ing to the Insurgents in the field or hos
pital, and should any attempt be made
to do so it would be prevented by the
government of Spain.
The people of the United States do
not seek to acquire title to Cuba, nor do
they aim to gain advantage in any way,
directly or indirectly, of any nation by
reason of this barbarism called war.
They do not complain of our loss of
trade with Cuba, and have patiently
borne the assault on the health Of the
people by the ills of Spanish rule in Gu
ba. They seek no redress for the loss of
business, of health, or money. They
have patiently waited, not wishing to in
telfere with the affairs of other nations,
until the stencil on our very borders has
passed endurance and the barbarous stu
alton in Cuba has become a stain upon
our continent and a blot pom our Chris
tian civilization. The people of the u
nited States demanding no personal pro-
fit, having no fear and seeking no favor,
clear and conscious as to the justice of
our position, do in the presence of the
civilized nations of the world, and in the
name of justice and liberty, demand that
the so-called war in Cuba must cease.
In a sensational address last Thursday
Rev. Ducey of the Roman Catholic
church of New York said:
Some time ago it was said that GER
tain individuals were anxious to form
religious trust. Very little difference is
there between such a trust and such
churches as are held together and sup
ported by capitalists and monopolistic,
trustistic millionaires.
We are approaching a. conflict that
cannot be avoided. On one side is
banner inscribed "Industrial slavery by
capitalists" on the other the inscription
is "1ndustrious liberty by the people,"
This is the millionaire's Lords prayer:
My father who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name; my kingdom has come on
earth; Thy will be done-in heaven;
my will be done here. Give me this day
all the income I want. Give me nv
debts in violence against humanity, in
foreclosures against my debtors. De-
liver us this day from all the 'isms that
destroy our power to enslave humanity.
Mine is the kingdom and the power, and
Thine be. the glory, forever. Amen.
