which ever had too much gold and sill
yer money.
"Why should you fear that we will
have too much. DO any of you expect
to have too much? But they say it is
inconvenient to carry silver around?
SO it is. but not so inconvenient as to
have none to carry. You need not
carry either gold or silver. It can be
deposited and q certificate received that
the coin is there.
"If oliver was good enough to pay
the boys who climbed up San Juan hill
It is good enough for the man who is
to be paid for a bond 1t is good
enough for a banker, and he must take
it. There shall not be two moneys, one
| fer the rich and one for the poor The
American people will never turn
against this government until the gov
ernment turns against them.
From the war they are evolving an
arrangement to divert the minds of the
American people from great economic
questions. We went to war with the
declaration that Cuba ought to be free.
/ We said when we drove the Spaniards
cut we would leave it ourselves AL
ready 10000 men are ready to go to
Cuba and the SpIniards are leaving the
island. why send these men there? 1t
Is an army Of occupatlon-to occupy
another peoples country. They never
intend that the Cuban people shall ever
realize the dream to rule themselves.
Fighting for liberty, we propose to
strike it down. After they have fought
for their country, for their freedom,
we take away their hope.
mot only are they doing this, but
they are going 1000 miles to take the
Philippine Islands; to extend COM
merce, it is claimed Commerce is
peace, not conquest. Is It commerce
they seek? Were every dollar of the
Philippine commerce secured by thie
country, it would not pay for the in.
Il crease in the standing army. The
Philippine Islands, from 100000 to
1900 600 people, would not consume
as much as the people of Delaware. II
is claimed that they should be lifted
up. The man who says that he is will
ing to help others at the expense or in
jury to himself, he is a fool or a liar
What do they want with them? Some
cf them eat like savages and work foI
81 per month. In some places they are
cannibals; all of them are barbarous
they go naked and worship snakes;
they work for cents a day. Would il
improve this country to add these peo-
pie? We have been trying to exclude
cheap labor They are the most de-
! graded people in the world. The Re-
publicans are dagzled by dream OF
imperialism.
'We are already the greatest nation
in the world. We do not need barbar-
ians, standing armies or British alli-
ancee. Our mountains carry in their
bOsoms the mCst minerals; cur rivers
are the longest in the world; our val
p leys need but to be tickled with tn,
hoe to yield their harvest; our artisans
the most skillful; our people the mosi
intelligent and our women the fairest
Why should we want an alliance?
81 would never make an alliance
with Great Britain; my sympathlee are
with the Irish race. Shall we forget
that indictment which Jefferson drew
against Great britain? II the revOlu

Let Great Britain settle with the world

shall we stand by Great Britain and

p AT the conclusion Of his speech Mr.

it was better to stop when the audience
