Effect on Treasury
Second, let him reflect upon the eff
feet of speedy termination of enforced
wars upon the public treasury.
"Our last war, the war with Spain,
was declared on the 22d day of April,
1898 Ten days after that George Dewey,
then in command of our Asiatic squad
ron, encountered and sunk the entire
naval forces of the enemy in those
waters, forever cutting off the power OF
Spain in that part of the world, and
presenting to the nation in return
country richer almost than the ancient
kingdom whose power he had thus ab-
ruptly terminated. Two months later
and this delay was due to our inability
to find the enemy-William 7. Samp-
son and Winfield S. Schley completed
the work Dewey had so vigorously be-
gun by absolutely annihilating the bal
ance of the enemy's navy off the coast
of Cuba. Ten days after that the first
diplomatic move was made for peace,
and within the brief period Of month
thereafter the navy had actually ter
| minated war that was costing this
government more than a million dol
lars a day.
| Navy Brings Peace
"rhis proves that with an efficient
navy we can have peace even If we
have to fight for it, as the Irishmar
said, and presents a lesson in economics
not altogether unworthy of notice, fol
| no one will deny that nothing Is Sc
| hurtful to a race or country as pro-
longed wars, where public credit de-
clines and private property depreciates.
Therefore If we must have wars, let
them be speedily terminated by a
numerous and efficient navy.
"But, ladies and gentlemen, there is
a final virtue in naval men and naval
maneuvers / have not yet mentioned.
1t Is their disposition to yaw around
on important occasions. This Is a habit
to which 1 have myself been slightly
addicted, and l note with pleasure that
according to the next number on the
program they have again executed this
famous naval maneuver and I accord
ingly give way to another and perhaps
the most famous of their many yaws. "

Constantly Struggling
"All over this land we have seen the
struggle between the people and the cor
porations and we see it today upon the
railroad question. In 1886 the Demo-
cratic platform declared for railroad
legislation. 1t did so in 1900; it did so
in 1904, but my friends, after ten years
of effort on our part we had to wait un-
til a Republican president had to take
the lead upon the subject and then he
had the fight of his life to get his bill
through the senate or house. At last, in
order to make Republican measure,
the president was forced to compromise
with the representatives of the rail-
roads in the senate. 1 think that If l

not to forget the taxation this country
is bearing today because we do not
regulate the corporations as we ought
to regulate them. When 1 find man
who is constantly talking against gov
