which attempted TO block at every turn
In their prosecution Of the war.
The flrst war Congress under Lincoln
enacted three outsta nding war measures
10 supply funds for the speedy proeecu-
tion Of the war. The Morrill, act was
the hrst and the Democrats voted almost
solidly against IT, The legal tender
act which provided further money pow
er. was the second, and the vote stood
ninety -three for II. all Republicans, and
ffty-nine against, including all the
Democrats who voted The third out
standing war measure was the national
bond act 70 supply needed increase
In currency. II was resisted by every
Den1ocrat in the senste but three. while
In the House the vote stood seventy
eight to sixty -four, almost strict party
vote.
Demsevsts IN lsss sought Peace
This opposition culmiuated in an ON
ciai announcement by the Democratic
party in national convention in 1854. in
the midst of the war. by declaring the
war a failure and a demard for 'ces-
satior Of hostilities.' This platform OF
six resolutions was confined to opposi-
ton TO Mr. Lincoln and the war.
Mckinley In 1898 was confronted
with an opposition minority too recent
to be forgotten. 1t was well expressed
In the vote on the fiscal measure TO sup
ply funds for the prosecution of the
war, when out OF 1h9 Democratic mem
bers ot the Congress all but six voted
against 1t.
These facts should be examined in
ccmpa rison with the conduct OF the Re-
publican minority In this war.
I'm nine measures. including the major
war measures. the Republicans actually
cast more votes than the Democratic
majority.
"In twenty-six measures there was
not an adverse Republican vote cast.
I'm all of the war measures the Re
puiiicans cast almost their solid vote.
Had the Republican party withheld
It's support OF the war measure. as did
the Democrats both in the Civil War
and the Spanish american War, there
might not have been a shock to the
country from the White House decree,
hut even so no one should quote either
Lincoln or Mckinley in justification. for
neither made such a request.
II have before me now reprints OF
eleven Of the many letters written by
the President on behalf of members OF
Congress. In every case except four
and these were Democratic States. where
there was no Republican In opposition,
the people repudiated the request"
