Denounces Prophecy Of Mann
and UnWise Conclusion
of RepubIicanism.
DAWN NOT OF TRADE WAR,
BUT TRADE TRANQUILITY
Regards Destinies of Nation Safely
1ntrusted to Great and Patient
Man in White House.

In a reply to the remarkable speech
by Representative Mann of Illinois re-
Gently. prophesying a gigantic strug-
gle between the yellow and white
races for supremacy in the west, Repre-
sentative Stanley Of Kentucky yester-
day declared this Is the dawn, not of
trade war. but of tranquility of trade" )"
The Kentucky democrat declared that
Representative Mann's speech on the
Philippines. and his expressed theories
that the United States should hold the
islands as strategic centers of i'm
portance to be used In the eventual
Pacific struggle, was a most remark
able utterance and had attracted the
most widespread attention. At the
same time. he said. he doubted the wis
dom of the speech. but believed every
democrat should take notice of 1t and
frame proper reply.
Mr.. stanley's Speech.
Said Mr.. Stanley, in part:
"The utterances of the minority
leaders are too far-reaching in their
scope, too momentous in their possible
results, to be taken merely as the ex-
preston of the opinion of single
individual or to be answered with
sneer. It is the inevitable conclusion
to which his party must come. 1t is
the corollary of their doctrines and
utterances. It is surprising and COM
mendable in it's candor, II not In Its
wisdom.
But this side of the House will never
indorse a line Of that appalling utter
that a war of destruction must in
evitably follow rivalry in trade. 1t
may be true at this hour we see mil
lions of men embroiled In contest
that had It's incipiency In trade rival
ries, but the spectacle of dominions
torn and scanned by trenches red with
blood and filled with bodies Of hun
dreds of thousands Of mangled men Is
in itself sufficient condemnation for
all future time Of the crime-the fore
erately Transforming the marts of trade
into the shambles of slaughter.
Harking Back to Toryism.
"The doctrine to which Mr.. Mann now
gives unqualified approval 10 but a para
phrase of the declarations Of the tories
who. a century and a half ago, sent their
red battalions here to compel our re-
luctant love and obedience to a govern
ment that thought our allegiance profita-
Bile and our location strategic. I deny
that we are prepared to emulate the CO.
lonial policy Of Great Britain. I deny
that we are prepared now to devote our
youth to slaughter in foreign lands.
1.-THE gentleman from Illinois says that
this ugly, cruel catastrophe, this world
wide war that shall cover all the Pa
ciflc. will come as certainly as the rising
of the sun. e the gentleman will study
the wise policies Of that great and patient
man who now directs the destinies Of
democracy he will see the dawn of q
better day, the time when universal JUS
tice and the dissemination of peace in
stead of war, of liberty and not of
tyranny. shall be the noble aim Of a great
republic.
HE will see an attempt to make men
love US because we are just, as well as
strong not an effort to manacle them to
our hearts, or to pinion them with the
bayonet to a hated standard. He will
see that 1t ia wiser and safer to main
tain the trade Of America and to pre-
serve the life of her citizens by policy
of universal justice, universal kindliness,
the dissemination Of liberty. not vas
salage.
This is the dawn, not Of trade wars
but of tranquility Of trade, a dawn
Of peaceful, friendly competition be-
tween all men and all nations. The
time Is at hand when
with man to man united
And every wrong thing righted
The whole world shall he lighted
As Eden was Of DID, :"
