who, in my judgment, has brought US |
to this humiliating condition.
Never before in the history of the
republic has there been a struggle |
for freedom on the part of any people
that representatives in this chamber
did not hasten to declare that we re-
garded with solicitude the endeavors
and efforts of people to obtain their
own liberty. For more than four
years we have witnessed Great Brit
ain maintaining military stations in
side the borders of the republic. We
have seen her agents going up and
down this country enlisting men and
buying materials of war. And be-
| lieve | will not travel outside the rec
ord when I assert that any member
upon this floor who has served her
as much as four years has received

Swung From Democratic Traditions.
we have swuPg further away from
! Democratic traditions, from Repub-
lican ideas and from Republican prin-
ciples in the last five years than in
the previous hundred years. Things
are now accepted as matter OF
4 course that would have shocked the
intelligence of our forefathers beyond
endurance, all growing out of this
striving to lock arms with he great
European powers aud become world
power, to foster this new idea of
diplomacy, sitting quietly by and al
lowing a representative of one great
!, power to assemble in his residence
in the capital of the republic the rep
resentatiyes of every other great ma
ton, and make the cold-blooded and
deliberate demand or request that
they join with him in a determination
arbitrarily and with force to prevent
the American people from accomplish
| ing what they had determined to ae-
complish. 1t may be well enough To
treat the representatives of foreign
powers with courtesy and considera.
