dressed a large audience here this even
ing, discussing the issues Of the CAM
paign from Republican standpoint
Mr.. Moore spoke, in part, as follows;
We meet tonight to once more pledge
orr allegiance TO the grand old Repub
lican party, its past record and we look
with courage and hope into the future,
marching forward toward that future
with minds ever open TO the sunlight OF
the morning, ever open to new truths and
new duties, as the new years bring their
lessons. And what does the election OF
Mckinley and Roosevelt mean? 1t means
the supremacy Of the constitution OF the
United States 1t means the independ-
ence and integrity OF the supreme court
of the United States 1t means the pro-
lection of every American citizen in his
right to live, to labor, and to vote. 1t
means a vigorous foreign policy. 1t
means the maintenance OF law and or
der. 1T means the enforcement of the
Monroe Doctrine. 1t means a great,
splendid navy, not of the massive proper
lions Of Great Britain, out sufficient for
all OF our requirements, and Tor the con-
struCtiOn OF Notifications for the prOCec-
ton Of every American citizen on every
sea and In every port. 1t means sufficient
| revenue to carry on all governmental de-
par6ments, and the gradual eX6lngulsh-
reney as sound as government and as
untarnished as it's honor, every dollar of
which, whether gold, silver, Or paper
shall equal the best debt paying dollars
to the civilized world, and every dollar
Of which shall be as good as bright, shin
ing gold. 1T means projection that pro-
tects, reciprocity that reciprocates, there
by tnsuring the best markets for our
products, and insuring the employment
OF the American l1bOrer. 1t means pen
! sion policy, just and generous to our l1v-
Ing heroes, and to the widows and or
phans Of their dead comrades. 1t means
the protection of American citizens, from
unlawful com DinaJ1Ons OF aggregated
wealth, and the unjust exaction Of cor
porated power. Ut means an American
welcome to every God-fearing, liberty
! loving, constitution respecting, labor
/ seeking, decent man, 1t means the eX-
/ clusiOn OF all those whose blood, whose
! lives, whose practices, whose teachings,
1 unit them for American citizenship, or
/ lessen opportunities of American labor
4 1t means the abolition of sectionaIism,
every star in the American flag shining
for the honor, and the glory of every
I commonwealth and all its people. 1t
means an undying love for everything
American, and patriotism as eternal as

I y
gives to you an account of it's steward
I ship. Now what has ii done? What has
/ the administration OF William Mckinley
done? 1t has given to you tariff law
/ drafted by that distinguished scholar and
Z statesman, the Iamented Nelson Dingley.
1t has given you thu gold standard 1t
has fought the war with Spain, it has
] made peace with Spain. 1t has given
/ q government to Porto 1RcO, 1T has given
4 a government to Hawaii, it has given q
/ government to Alaska. We are restoring

ing Cuba along the path to independence
/ and self governments 1t has given our
/ country prosperity that is unexampIad in
hi5s history. Our people are employed at
/ good wages our mills and factories and
workshops are busy, and when the sun
rises IN the morning, 1t sheds Its rays
/ upon happy and contented people.
1 Now what has the democratic party
done? When the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison handed over TO the Demo
cratic patty the reins Of government, IL
left the treasury filled with a surplus,
and during the four years preceding that
I event reduced our National debt by two
/ hundred and sixty two millions of dol
/ lars But the Democratic party in times
! of perfect peace added to that debt, by is
| suing bonds to the amount of one hun
dred and thirty million dollars, and sold
to a syndicate at far less than their mar.
ket value They promised in 1859 that
! they would give you new tariff law,
and they did it. They gave you the VIII
son tariff law, the greatest political blum
der in the history Of. this country, or of
any other.
Speaking of our expansion and it's re-
suits, MIR. Moore said: VINO in this land
today believes that with the union of
states, bound together by bonds of love
and honor, for orr institutions, that we
would as nation be so unmindful of the
blessings that have come to us as re-
suit OF the Declaration of independence,
during, our life as a nation, as to refuse
to any people, of the earth that has be-
come a-par5 Of this country, the bless
1ngs, that we enjoyed and to be so I'M
mindful OF the right to enjoy life, liberty,
and the pursuits of happiness as is guar
anteed to this people under the benign In
huences of the immortal Declaration of
Independence, and to deny the self evil
dent fact that all men are created equal
The Philippine Islands coming to this
country as a result of the Spanish war,
were honoralby acquired, by two indisput-
able titles, that is by purchase and by
| conquest, that gives to this country
right to govern them as may seem best
and proper, after the rebellion has been
put down, which is now about to come
to an end. And when the insurgents
have laid down their arms, will receive
such q government as will be for the good
of the people, and as they progress along
the pathway of liberty and Of self gov
eminent, they viii. receive all the assist
ance that can be rendered by a nation
that is not unmindful Of the difficulties
OF people that are moving along the
pathway OF the future, that was also trod
by this people whose happiness is founded
on liberty and self govern ment, that Will
guide the FiliDinos until they may enjoy,
all that we enjoy, and with the peopIs Of
this country as teachers
The government of the United States is
founded on the consent of the governed
enjoying the highest type of liberty, and
freedom, but the only difference between
the form of government that we enjoy
and the form OF government that viii
be given to the people of those islands, is
in the opportunity to take part in the
election of the President, for with the
territorial form of government which
will undoubtedly be given to them, the
