has proclaimed the equal rights of man;
1t has been the defender of the poor and
the homeless; 1t has secured to the Amer
lean worker new and more ample re-
wards; 1t has protected American Indus
try and American enterprise from the un-
fair competition of foreign labor; 1t has
| stood at the gates of commerce and de-
Tended American trade. It's protective
policy has enlarged the opportunities of
all toilers to increase the value, amount
and variety OF the results of such toll.
1t is through the influence of the Re-
publican party, and by reason of the en-
couragement which our laws afford, that
America has become the home Of the sue
cessful artificers of the world
1t was through the Republican party
that the flag Of our country has been re-
humanity, and 1t now typifies more than
ever before the greatness and glory of the
republic. It to-day stands as a symbol
of liberty in the Western World. Thus
this republic has advanced to the front
among the nations Of the earth. It's
progress is chiefly noted by our increase
gence OF our peonle. and the achievements
of our army and navy. These have all
been revelation to the people of :Europe
and an inspiration to America. Among
civilians Lincoln stood at the head. All
in all, he was the greatest man this coun-
try has produced since Washington His
marvellous leadership was shown by his
confidence in his people. He knew he
could trust the peoples average judg-
ment. 1t was he who said, You can fool
all the people some of the time and some
of the people all the time, but you can
not fool all the people all the time" He
never tried to fool the people at any
time. Moral courage was his most con-
spicuous virtue: he was not afraid to do
right whatever might be the conse-
quences. There was nothing. sensational
in his character; he could look danger in
the face without fear or emotion he was
a patriot
He loved his country because It was his own,
Nor cared to give aught other why
His death left a nation in tears and the
whole world in sorrow. The Republican
party. formed through his commanding
influence, must continue in the lines he
marked out. 1t must continue as the
great peoples party of this nation. 1t
cannot live alone by it's traditions. We
live in the present; behind us is the inn
perishable record OF millions of free men
who represented the Intelligence industry
and patriotism of this great nation; ahead

alone is uncertain.

ippian group more than the Island of
Luzon. This will furnish coaling sta
ton for American shipping. This is all
we need, and all we have conquered. We
do not want any remote American States
whose population is not of our race.
It is more than doubtful craftsmanship
to attempt to AmericaniZe vast number
of people who have no sentiment of pa
triotism in common with our people.
Race distinctions cannot be remedied by
legislation or by any political action of
our home government. International
complications might and doubtless
would, arise by reason of our attempted
control of all of the Philippine Islands
I say all because there are about 200 Of
them which are inhabited, and 1t would
require American soldiers on every one
of them to maintain government or Sc
cure peace.
Speaking of the Philippine Islands,
Resident Archbishop Dosal recently said:
1 ~ earnestly hope the islands will not
remain Spanish, because the rebels are
now SO strong that such a course would
inevitably cause appalling bloodshed. The
reconquest OF the natives is impossible
until after years of the most cruel war
fare"
Does America want years Of war?

I know we cannot be hermit longer;
that 'in this age whatever stands still
recedes, whatever ceases to grow dies,
and that all other great nations are
grasping for territory, and SO 1t seems
to be the present American sentiment,
and some think wise one, too, that we
should by taking ethe Philippine Islands
and the people habiting them, get all
we can, but L would not imperil Ameri-
can liberty at home by increasing our
Hhe permanency of this republic may
depend upon the position assumed by our
Government in relation to the Philippine
Islands.
It may be quite as dangerous for us to
ask too much from Spain as it would be
to accept too little. This war has graft
fed out ambition and excited our pride,
and it has advanced us to a new and
more commanding Rosition among the
afford to keep. We are great now both
as to war and as financial power. We
just ioated q $2000,000 loan among our
own people, and no one person was per-
mitted to take more than $4,000 worth of
the bonds, and even then we had more
than billion of dollars subscribed. These
bonds are now selling at premium.
In the near future the islands of the
great oceans will be our country's out
posts In war they will form the skirmsh
line of our army and navy; in peace they
will be the sentinelS guarding our COM
merce and protecting our flag.
Our cities are overfiowing with great
population, which must have employment
or public support, and the best way to
support them is to secure to them re-
munerative' employment at home and let
them support themselves. Our wealth
has accumulated faster than our oppor-
tunities for. good investments; our popu-
lation is now quite 75,000,000 people. We
should make no large additions to our
population except they are intelligent
population is always a danger to a free
nation, so much SO, that for years many
| thoughtful Americans have favored a
larger restraint upon European immigra-
! ton.
With these conditions confronting us at
home, what will be the effect if we in
crease our population by adding millions
of foreign and unaSsimilated ace to
our American population? We cannot
maintain the protective policy of our
party by adding vast number Of cheap
ASlatic laborerS to our American family
This is a most serious matter, and so
serious that this will be a test of the

peace, because it would connect our ter
ritory on both sides of the continent and
would be of especial value to the Pacihc .
States. It is a mistake to build battle
ships to protect our coast and defend our
commerce. and at the same time not to
construct this canal. 1t is q greater mis-
take to attempt to build up American
commerce and not provide the highways
over which that commerce shall move
The Nicaragua canal is one of the great
est necessities of this age. Its construc-
ton will not only unite two oceans, but
two continents, and 1t will shorten the
distance between both more than one
half. At present the people Of the Pacific
side of this republic have no chance to
compete with our people living on the
Atlantic.
China, Japan, the Indies, oceanica, and
all of that vast number of Pacific ISL
ands including Australia and New Zeal
and, will be brought nearer to the At
lantic side of America when this canal IS
completed; the commerce of the Pacific
will be greatly increased, and thus We
will reap an immeaSurable benefit.
So much has been said in favor of this
great canal and so little against it that
one is led to marvel why it has not been
built The fact seems to be that for
eign nations do not build it for fear of
American diplomatic complications, and
America does not build it because she
can put it off. But the time is fast ap-

| Let 1t be said, with bared breath If need
be, that the Southern Pacific Railroad
\ corporation opposes it's construction. The
knowledge is common to the public men
| in and out of Washington that such is
the fact Let US adopt the remedy pro-
posed by the Republican platform-to
take the money due the Government from
| the railroads and use it to build the ca
/ nal. This would be retributive justice
The Republican platform on the subject
| is as follows:
1.-The last Congress having unanimously
passed law providing for the collection
| of the Indebtedness due from the Central
and Western Pacific railroads to the Gov
ernment, the Republican party favors the
enforcement thereof, and, unless such law
and all the provisions thereof be promptly
accepted and complied with by such spe-
Gifted railroad companies, that the law be
| strictly enforced and the lien on said
roads and properties be foreclosed and
said roads and mortgaged property be
| sold according to law, and that all funds
! that now or hereafter are realized from
! either or both said Pacific railroads, or
! from the collection of their debt to the
| Government, whether voluntarily or by
foreclosure, be applied to the construction
| of the Nicaragua canal.
