MIR. Depew said only two years ago. An

of, and he said ii would take more than

crease of our army to 100000, more
! likely to 100000 men; 1t would mean the
increase of our annual expenditures to
double what they are now. That was
two years ago. Now the republicans
are advocating an imperial policy. Lee.
me show you what Mr.. Depew said on

empire without it's attributes, and that
means a practical revolution of our
form of government and an abandon
ment of the beliefs which the fathers
held when they established this gov
eminent in 1776.' That was the.
opinion of your own Senator De-
pew only two years ago. Your
president stated only three years age
that forcible annexation was criminal
aggression and contrary to our code O
morality and we say now what the,
