Gates.
The following are extracts from Sena-
tor Mantles speeches delivered in the
Senate of the United States:
Tree Co.nlge and Protection.
But while l am an ardent advocate
OF the principle OF protection, am also
a flrm believer in the principle of true
blmetall1sm, which l construe to mean
the unlimited coinage of gold and silver
upon equal terms and at a ratio to be
liked by law, my preference being for a
ratio OF 10 to l, because in the light of
history and all experience | believe that
to be the natural and just ratio. | am
in favor OF the adoption Of this policy
Independently by the United States, be-
l1ev1ng it to be a sound policy and in
the interest OF the great mass of the
people, and that as a nation we are
great enough, rich enough and strong
enough to establish and maintain our
own financial policy, just as we main
tain tariff policy and political policy
without asking or waiting for the con-
sent OF amy other nation of the world"
Our War With Spain.
II give my unqualified
endorsement, and shall gladly give my
vote, for resolution authorizing and
directing the President of the United
States to employ the armed forces of the
nation and all its resources that may be
necessary for the purpose of bringing to
an immediate termination the barbara
ties now being practiced upon those
prosecuted stricken and helpless people.
Il shall not stop here to repeat the
tales OF murder, of starvation, and all
the unspeakable atrocities visited upon
those helpless victims of Spanish
tyranny Suffice it for ME to say that
they stand unsurpassed in the bloodiest
ana most infamous pages which history
has yet recorded
And rs result, Mr.. President, the
heart and conscience, the sympathy and
the indignation of the American people
are aroused and stirred as they have not
been for third of century. And the
great body of the people; rising above all
selhsh and partisan considerations, re-
spending to the demands of outraged
humanity, stimulated by that love of
liberty oequeathed to them by the
fathers and founders of our own repub-
llc stand ready to declare that the
limit OF endurance has been reached
that patience and forbearance in this
case have ceased to be virtues, and that
III the name OF prosecuted humanity,
In the name OF liberty, Justice and
peace, >"'fd In the sacred name of a lust
and outraged God, this murder of help
less men and starving women and chill
dran, too long tolerated, must cease.
Mr.. President, if | understand the
sentiment and the wishes of the great
body of the American people Alright,
what they demand now is not the pol
lshed phrases employed in diplomatic
negotiation, but open, aggressive, de-
clslve action, such as BELTS American
traditions and American character.
They ask that diplomacy and circum-
location and every sort of subterfuge be
laid aside, and that the cry of humanity
and the demand for justice be now
Needed
Mr.. President, we have often been
told, in the discussion of this grave |
question, that war is a terrible thing,
and that it should never be resOrted to
except in the last extremity and in de-
tense OF the national honor. We are
JOld that II we are to go to war it must |
De in a cause that is sacred-such a
cause as will fully justify us in the eyes
If the civilized world; such cause as
shall sanctify every sacrifice that must
De made in its prosecution short. a

md clear and the arm of every citizen
lerved and strengthened by the solemn
conviction that it is being raised for
for justice, for honor, for

accepting the test Of these conditions
is our rule of action, and applying

leclare that in my Judgment our gov
