OF war only when waged for mans lib

the arguments that kings have made

LINCOLN'S GREAT SPEECH.
In a speech at his home city Spring
field. H.. In 1899. Mr.. Lincoln said:
Many free countries have lost their
liberties and ours may lose hers. but
II she shall may 1t be my proudest
plume. not that ! was the last 10 desert
her but that ! never deserted her"
How different this from the want OF
patriotism shown by the late Republi-
can convention. that never even made
a reference 20 the Declaration OF Inde-
pendenco but boosted Of the triumphs
I'M war wherein a people are made sub
iects for the sake Of the profits accru-
ing to army and navy contractors, paid
for by our own people with taxes kept
up for the purpose, oyerturnlng the
former doctrine of the Republican
party when Lincoln declared he favored
the man rather than the dollar.
Now. with the attempted gold stand

backs-thc peoples money-the concen-
tration VI wealth IN the hands Of the
few the want OF reverence for equal
rights as set forth In the Declaration OF
Independence coupled with the attempt
10 destroy such rights, the recognition
Of human slavery under the Declare
ton OF independence, the subiugaton
Of a struggling liberty seeking people,
denying them the rights Of citizenship
and compelling the relation ot subjects,
thus crushing out and destroying the
equality OF the people Of a republic, the
attempt TO establish the rule Of the few
and the submission Of the many, raises
and forces upon us for our consldera-
ton the question Of imperialism, ana
makes Il the question for US now 20 de-

an empire the few rule, the many sub
