nbN P'iiNss HUN ioiiR VIII II Dt uitlI we need 500,00O men: For four years England has shaped our policies and controlled our government. At her instance. we adopted gold standard, so as to make the Englishman $ dollar dear. and American products and Amencan manhood cheap. At her Instance We are establishing a corrupt colonial system. Her statesmen pub licly declare from the roStrum that there is an understanding between them and the government at Wash ington which is of q higher order than written alliance.
 When British gunboats wrongfully seize flour shipped by American merchants, the representatives of the American government instead of insisting on prompt release and apulo- gieS, acts the part of purchasing agents and conyenienceS for Great Britain. Acting under the spell of 'AlNlNlA ililiNtll'ts .NtIttNdIN VI Otdlt Hay just signed plea which IS d hu- initiation to every man who is proud of this Republic. Under this treaty Great Britain kindly consents that we may, that We may. at our own expense, build canal to connect the two oceans, but we must leave it open to her and all other nations to Use at pleasure. and we dare not fortify the canal for our own protection.
 OFFICIAL MAIL OPENED.
 And as if the cup of our humiliation were not full, here comes the startling revelations of United States Consul Macrum al Pretoria. showing that his official dispatches were published by the British before they reached Wash ! ington. and that the official mail nf our government to one of its own officials was opened by the British cen | sor at Durban in Africa, was held for | nearly month and then forwarded with sticker attached stating that her Majesty's censor approved of the contents of the letter.
 What answer does Hay make to the inquiry by Congress: He says that there is nothing on file in his office tO show that Macrum complained while in south Africa. Certainly not. Macrum felt that his dispatches and letters were read and edited. and it would be foolish to complain. But. assume that Macrum was wrong in l failing to complain carrier, the fact iS that he is here now with the evidence . evidence that humiliateS us in the sight of mankind, and what is Hay doing about it: Why, instead of de- manding an explanation and an apolo- gy from Great Britain, instead of try ing to vindicate the American flag and the honor of the American nation, he is trying to hesmirch the character of the man who brings this indisputablc evidence. Nothing more dastardly was ever attempted by governmental official.
 Again, for nearlya century our gov ernmenC has sent friendly greetings, has sent sympathy and moral support to every people that was lighting fol freedom or struggling for independ ence. But today we stand with our hands tied and dare not utter worC while the brayest people that the sur shines on are fighting for their homes and their liberties. There are only two Republics on the great continent of Africa. England is engaged al striking them down, and our Republic
 instead of being true to its great his
 tory, instead of being true to the sen timent of its people, is actually hold ing the garments of the worlds grea bully. who is engaged in stoning these 1, two Republics to death.
 These are not partisan questions . They are American questions. Shal this Republic fulfill il great mission O
 shall it be q mere satellite? Shal
 American industry be independent, O shall the English dollar control Amer
 ican manhood: Shall we have gov , ernment following the dictates 0 justice and humanity, or shall we fawl , on the spayined aristocracy of Europe Shall we have an American policy, 0
 shall we continue to accept the whi end of European policies: But hoy
 can we overthrow this reign of cor Q ruption: By appealing to American manhood. by using the dynamic fore
 uf ideas. by trusting to the conquer |. ing power of justice. Neither col f ruptiOn nor tyranny can stand befOr il either of these forces.
