political armament. Our lack of large
standing army and our moderate sized
navy will no longer initiate against us
abroad.
We Are To-day as Safe
from inroads from abroad as though we
had the army of Russia and the navy of
England. Is there an american citizen,
unbiased by party spirit, who is not graf
flied with and thankful for this record
and standing of our country? If such
there be, his range of vision, his judg-
ment and his patriotism are exceedingly
narrow and limited.
up to this point it does not lie in the
mouths of our adversaries to criticise and
object. They were at least as eager for
the war as we were. Bryan himself ad-
vised the ratification of the treaty of
peace, and it was the vote of fifteen anti
Republican senators, now the followers of
Bryan, that made its ratification possible
Senator Morgan of Alabama in speech
in the United States senate last May said:
81 am proud that our distinguished
party leader, Mr.. Bryan, came to Wash
ington to urge the Democrats of the SEN
ate to ratify the treaty of Paris
'By thus helping to ratify the treaty.
they Joined us and justified US in ac-
curing Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippine islands. Recent events at Kan
sas City, however give US good grounds
for believing that it was not altogether
patriotic motives that induced them to
thus counsel and aid in acquiring these
possessions. 1t seems now that they de-
sired these possessions for the purpose of
securing an issue in this campaign. Agui-
naldo is now their hero and the Tagal re-
bellion, of which he is at the head, fur
nished the basis for their cry of "im-
perialism'' and "militarism." What they
would do with Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines they fail to state. but that we
have blundered and jeopardized the well
fare of our country at home and abroad,
in our management of these islands, Is
now their great grievance and battle cry.
But what are the facts and what is
the law in the case? For two years prior
to 1898 the Tagals in Luzon, under the
leadership of Aguinaldo and his chiefs,
had been in open rebellion against the
Spanish government. During the last
half of 1897, and long before the arrival
of Dewey, the rebellion had terminated
by an arrangement between the Spanish
government on the one part and Agui-
naldo and his chiefs on the other part,
pursuant to which the Tagals were to
SUBMIT and to lay down and surrender
their arms and Aguinaldo and his chiefs
were to leave the country. In considera-
ton of this there was to be general am
nesty and certain reforms were promised.

diplomatic channels, to energetically in
tervene in behalf of Cuba, with good re-
suits: And / have no doubt would in
due time have succeeded backed by the
great moral and material momentum Of
our country, in securing the independence
of Cuba by peaceful means. But while
diplomacy was making its slow and
steady progress catastrophe occurred
which at once put an end to peaceful
methods. On the night of Feb. 10, 1898,
the battleship Maine, on a peaceful mis-
sion and lying at anchor in Havana har
Dor, was sunk and destroyed by an ex-
plosion from the outside, resulting in the
death of 260 of our gallant seamen. This
made the nation eager for war, SO eager
that Democrats, Popuists and Republic
ans alike were all equally swift in rush
ing us into war with Spain. remem-
Der very well how Populists and Demo-
Gratis in congress chided and criticised
the president and the Republican party
for being less eager for war than they
themselves were. Congressman Champ
Clark from Missouri, one of the leading
Democrats of the house, in debate,
among other things said:
You talk like you brought on this
war. This is not a Republican war, but
an American war. My Republican
friends, we took you by the scruff of the
neck and dragged you into it, and that
will be the verdict of history We start
ed the fire among the people, and they
heated you so hot that at last you had
to go into it or go out of business
Eyes, it is true that it was a war of
the American people. but it was carried
on and conducted gloriously and to a
most successful issue under the direc-
ton of President Mckinley and his ad-
ministration. Though strong and
wealthy nation, we were wholly unpre-
pared for war. Our navy was neither
fully manned nor fully equipped, and our
small regular army less than $4,000 and
scattered in small detachments over the
country, was a mere skeleton. In a few
days after it became evident that war
would come, our fleet, thanks to the
great energy of our secretary of the
navy and his first assistant, our noble
guest and unanimous nominee for the
vice presidency, was fully manned and
equipped and ready for action. On April
81, 1898, Sampson sailed for Cuba; on the

s.On the twenty-third of April the pres
ident issued call for 125, 600 volunteers;
this was supplemented by call for To-
GOO on the twenty-fifth Of May, and in the
meantime our regular army was in
creased to 60, 600. All this vast number had
to be organized, drilled, fed, clothed,
equipped, armed and nodded into an eff
:ective army. Considering the fact that we
were wholly unprepared for war, the task
of creating this army and putting it on
war footing in SO brief space of time
as was done, was a manifestation of re-
source energy and skill highly credit
able, to the administration and to the
American people. No other nation with
SO scant a Preparation could have &C
complished this task SO well and in so
short a space of time.
ION the fourteenth of June our army of
invasion-a scant 17,000-sailed for Cuba
under Gen. Shafter. On the twenty-sec-
ond it landed; on the twenty-fourth it
fought its first battle, and on the first
and second of July it stormed and capt
ured the hills and works of Ell Caney and
San Juan in the suburbs OF Santiago, aud
the city and Spanish army were at its
mercy. The eager valor of our troops,
lead by such heroes as Shafter, Lawton,
Roosevelt and others, made short work of
the war A war, begun at Manila on the
first of May, was finished at Santiago on
the third day of July. There are rapid
firing nations we'll rapid firing guns,
and the United States stands chief among
the former. On the twelfth day of Aug
ust, the protocol of peace was signed.
On the tenth of December, 1898, the treaty
of peace was signed, and on the sixth of
February, 1899, it was duly ratified by
the senate. In less than a year from the
time of the destruction of the Maine, we
had acquired Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippine islands, and had forced Spain
to relinquish her hold upon Cuba. Such
great results from a war so brief and
entailing comparatively SO small loss of
life, were never known before. This war
and this result have infused into the ma
tons of the Old World regard for the
wishes, views and policy of the United
States that they never possessed before.
1t has demonstrated to them that we can
no more be lightly reckoned with in war
than in peace. We are no longer to them

perity to this country has been duly en-

Foreign Trade.
"The increase in our foreign commerce
has been marvellous and beyond all prec-
edent in our history as appears from the
following table of our exports and imports
for the following fiscal years:

spite of our experience since 1896, they
still threaten the country with free silver;
still, in effect, threaten to reduce US to
a state of silver monometallism. This is
of itself not only sufficient ground for the
Republicans, but for all other friends of
good government, to infiict defeat upon
the Democratic party even more com
plete than in 1896. The ghost of free sill
yer should be buried beyond all hope of
resurrection.
'All that the Republican party promised
to accomplish for the country in 1896, it
has been instrumental in bringing about
and accomplishing. The languishing in
dustries have been revived, money has
become abundant at low rates of interest
and its quality can not now be question
ed. Prosperity in all directions and in
all channels has come, and remains with
us in as full measure as we hoped and
predicted and prayed for in 1896. The cur
rent of our economic and industrial life
is moving steadily and safely onward and
upward on SAFE sound basis and at
a rate and volume the wonder and envy
of the other nations of the world. What
other country on the face of the earth
is blessed with so good a government and
such high degree of progress and pros
perity as ours?
I'm addition to the important duties and
vast responsibilities foreseen and as
sumed by the Republican party in 1885, du-
ties and responsibilities of an unforeseen,
grave, new and far-reaching character
have been entailed upon the administra-
ton of President Mckinley. No presi-
dent, save Washington and Lincoln, has
had a greater task or graver duties than
President Mckinley. In 1896 a civil
War Was Pending in Cuba.
The Cubans were then, and had been for
years, struggling for independence from
the wretched and tyrannical government
of Spain. The Republican party sympa-
thized with the Cubans and was disposed
to second their efforts by peaceable
means, and hence our platform of 1896
declared that,
We believe that the government of the
United States should actively use it's in
fluence and good offices to restore peace
and give independence to the island
