ing in their mission to carry religion TO
the heathens OF those far Off Islands
He said he did not believe God ever In
tended that his religion should be carried
to any people on the point Of bayonets-
or shot through them IN the shells CT war
But the worst feature OF the whole ousl-
ness, he continued. IS the depraving and
whitening effect which the unhofy war
is having upon the American soldiers IN
the Philippines.
He said that on account OF this crtet
and accursed war. which was the result
OF one mans usurpaticn of power. tnou-
sands Of our young men were dSfne Oh

to which they were driven by climatic

amounts to less than 81, O0.000 per annuih'
and it will cost s15oOOo.OOo to subdue the
natives and to restore peace IN oroer -
get that trade.
tba Ranuhlcans have broken faith with
those people, and besides their MISSION u

and they have brought upon this people d
national disgrace which they may not DC
reasonably expected much longer TO en-

DANGER IN FOREIGN WARS.
Mr.. Jones then took up the Chinese
question and showed the danger of foreign
entargIements so plainly emphasized oy
Washington, jefferson and Madison lie
produced figures showing the enormous
expense which the policy of the Repupli-
cans had entafled upon the people, and
said it would be long time before eheE
would have any relief from the tax isla
for the foreign wars. He said that the
expausion he believed in was an expan-
sion of Industries at home. but that he
did not believe in policy which enp'.ea

unnecessary and cruel wars and wnien
forbade the appropria ton of single dol

bors at home as had been the case at the
last session of Congress
