Utica, N. T., Aug. 2S.-James S.
Sherman, Republican candidate for
vice-president, addressed the Oneida
Civil War Veterans association here
Thursday. After praising the vet
Grams for heroism and patriotism, he
said:
I'VE are to-day in a condition of pro-
found peace with all the world.
Would that that condition might con.
tinue without end, but the most san
guine can hardly have such expecta.
ton. 1t is appropriate and natural
that In time of peace we give thought
to industrial problems. We do give
thought mainly to commercial prog
ress, and yet glance at our annual
appropriation bills shows that year
after year we are placing our army
and our navy On a firmer foundation,
for we are constantly preparing for
the war which we hope will never
come.
Be Prepared for War.
1--WE believe that our surest guar
anty Of peace is found in perfect prep
aration for war. May l repeat the
words of your comrade, President Har-
rison, spoken before the Chamber of
Commerce of San Francisco, in 1892:
We will pursue the paths of peace.
We are not warlike nation. All
our instincts, all our history is in
the lines of peace. Only intolerable
aggression, only the peril Of our in
situations, of the flag, can thoroughly
arouse us. With capability for war
on land and sea uneXcelled by any ma
ton in the world, we are smitten with
the love of peace. We would promote
the peace of this hemisphere by plac-
ing judiciously some large guns about
the Golden gate, simply for saluting
purposes, and yet they should be of

Navy Guaranty of Peace.
"And so, let me, gentlemen, give ex-
tered on another occasion, that we
should at all times maintain such an
army and such a navy as will be the
sure guaranty of the protection of
American citizens and America s
rights everywhere, and be at the same
time all omen of peace; that we should
at every exposed point be so fully
protected that no power on earth
would wish to modest us. Let the
uppermost thought of the day be of
peace, rather than Of war; Let us
Story in the commercial progress of
our country and the happiness of our
people. Let us encourage strife for
good government and good citizenship.
Let us stimulate the efforts, not alone
to advance our welfare at home, but
to give example of good government
and good citizenship to the peoples of
all the earth.''
