Righteous Foreign War. . Y
Not only was the Spanish war the
most righteous foreign war undertaken
by any nation during the lifetime of
the. present generation; but 1t welded
this country once land for all into IN
undivided nation. Our generals includ-.
ed not only men who fought on the
Union side51n the clyilSwar, but men
who had;wIth equal gallantry and equal
devotion to what they deemed their
duty. borne arms for the south-men
like Joe Wheeler. Fltzhugh Lee and
many another whom could mention.
All alike were Americans and the coun-
try cared nothing where they came
from, because It took equal pride In
them all. That Dewey was born in
Vermont concerned them no more than
that Hobson was born in Alabama, or
that Funston came from Kansas and
Hale from Colorado. AS we 10 the
time of the, war appealed to all men
who. were good Americans, so now in
preserving the results Of the war, In
justifying what We did two years ago.
We appeal again to all good men; what
ever, their political affiliations have been
inEthe past, whether they come from
hetnorth or the south, the Atlantic+or
Pacific coast, 10 stand with US because
we. stand for the honor and interest OF
our common country. ~ z!
Denounced the; Civil War.
In. 1864 the Democratic platform de-
nounced further prosecution of the
Civil war, Just as the Kansas City plat
forn'denounces the further prosecution
Of the war in the Philippines to-day.
Moreover in 1864 the platform contain
ed precisely the same frantic assertion.
that civil liberty and private rights had
been tramplcd on and that Justice and
liberty demanded an Immediate effort:
for the cessation of hostilitles. Much of
what Is put in the two platforms could
be irterchanged on this point, and In
1864. there was the same hypocritical
sympathy expressed for. the soldiers and
sailors that is expressed again in 1900;
In each case the expression Of sym
pathy for the soldier coming in as tag
to declaration Of hostility to the
cause for which the soldier was fight
ing, a declaration which was certain In
finitely to increase the work and danger
Of the soldier. The chairman of the
convention In 1854 made. speech, in
which he declared that every, lover OF
civil liberty throughout the world was
interested In the success OF the Copper!
head party. This is Just the same type
Of appeal that Is being made now, and
it Is just as baselcss In one case asSit
was in the other. In 1864 the name OF
liberty was invoked TO secure the CON,
tlnuance Of slavery. In 1900 1t is invok-
ed TO secure the abandonment OF Amer
lean honor and to throw the Philippines
under the rule OF corrupt and tyran-
nous ollgarchy. In 1864 the cry OF i'm
periallsm was raised exactly as It is
now raised, with just as little basis.
The Indianapolis Sentinel. for instance,
declared that II Mr.. Lincoln was re-
elected there would be mo longer a re-
public In the United States, but a con
solidated empire" On every hand Lin
coin was denounced MS tyrant,
shredder of blood, a foe of liberty, q
would-be dictator, n founder OF an EN-.
pire-7one orator saying. I'VE also have
our emperor, Lincoln. who can tell
stale Jokes while the land Is running
red with the blood OF brothers" "A
Same, Story About Gran
Even after! Lincoln's death the as
sault was kept up. and In 1865 tho Same
party declared that II Grant was ,inau,
gurated ms President tho American
people would inject MS n isubjugated
md conquered people amid the ruin. Of
liberty and the shattered constitution"
OF course. in 1864. mill,nrism as o
threat was worked with infinitely more
apparent Justification than 1t can now
be worked. We did have big armies in
the field then, whereas now our army
Including not merely tho regulars, but
volunteers. Is not half as large rela-
lively to the population OF the country
MS Is the New York City police force
relatively to tho population or that
city. To appeal now to the average
man 10 beware lest he gronn underthe
burden of the soldiers Is n good deal
less national than TO appeal to him In
New York or Chicago. to beware lest
he groan under the weight OF
the uniformed members .of the.
FIRE department. Wakhavc: q regular,
