LITTLE HOPE FOR YOUNG MEN.
AT meeting of the Tammany
Hall General @ Committee, held Mon
day night, July 23d, 1900, a series
of resolutions, upon motion of
Richard Croker were adopted. In
these resolutions, they say:
"Tammany Hall believes in the
supremacy of the American flag
wherever it floats. but that it
should float nowhere as the sym
Dol of liberty and civil servitude;
for that is combination which
can work only dishonor to the flag
and danger to American institu-
tions.
at believes in that character of
territorial expansion which was
favored by the fathers of Democ-
racy; not expansion by the she'd
ding of American blood on soil
where the constitution can never
follow the flag; but in that which
has added to the glory and the
prosperity of our Nation; not in
that which is to the Union source
of disgrace and disaster.
"The Republican party, while
protesting desire to carry free.
dom to distant strangers of
strange habits, and of uncertain
civilization, is satisfied to leave
American citizens on American
soil in bondage to the trusts and
monopolies begotten of Republi-
can legislation, for that is nothing
less than condition of slavery
which letters individual energy,
and gives to the favored few the
fruits resulting from the labor of
the many.
at is conceded that the Nation
has its mission to carry, but it's
mission at home remains incom-
plete while it is possible under
National Legislation for 10 per
cent. of the population to hold the
other so per cent of the people in
absolute subsection through the
} operation of trusts and monopolies
"Let us not wait too long in the
vain expectation that this evil will
cure itself. The time has come for
the nation to act. Tammany hall,
repeating the promises contained
in the National platform of its
party, pledges itself to an unceas-
ing warfare in Nation, State and
city against private monopolies in
every form.
"Tammany hall condemns the
waging of war for conquest as un-
American in principal and false to
the pledge of the Nation as given
/ by the President of the United
States 1t condemns the uncon-
stitutional action of the President
in carrying on war for conquest
without the authorization of Con-
gress.
Inspired by its forbidden alli-
ance with the British empire the
Republican administration has
reached out for colonial dependen-
cies, the control of which means
the last step in the direction of i'm
perialism and military government
by the United States. That &C.
complished there will be nothing
but name and location to distin-.
guish the American Government
from the monarchies of Europe
The country of Washington, the
republic of jefferson, the union of
Lincoln, will have given away to
the glory of the American empire
and the standing army, the curse
of European civilization, and the
scourge of European homes will
have to come to blight the homes
of America and to dominate her
civilization.
From every country in Europe.
to escape the tyranny of the stand
ing army, millions of our country
men have sought citizenship and
homes in America. American
fathers and mothers have right to
the companionship of their sons in
the peacefulness of home. Their
sons, though ready to yield up their
lives, if need be, for home, have a
right to the pursuit of their own
happiness unmolested by warfare
which is neither for the honor of
the flag nor the security of home.
"But the future of Americas
young manhood is limited by the
Republican principle to eithermil-
itary service on foreign fields of
