Speaker: I am unalterably opposed to spending the money of the America people for little tin ships which go float-' ing around for no other purpose than to furnish an asylum for the dudes who' wear the uniform of the union and live-in luxury at the expense of the common; people. What do we want a navy What do we want a navy for? As welt ask why the defenseless orphan cries fotf its father; why the widow bewajla tj loss of her husband; why the anTcriri cry of Lincoln's call for men was; "We are coming Father Abraham, three hundred thousand We need a nay to protect our citizens and enforce their rights wherever and by whomsoever assailed. We need a navy with which to cleanse the Western hemisphere of every blot and stain of Spanish misrule and oppression. We have the men, we mu.n have the ships. The recent unparalleled victory at Manila was not due to superiority of equipment but rather to the hih.

intelligence, undaunted bravery and loyai patriotism of the American sailor and marine, led by that fire-tested and courageous commander. Admiral George-Dewey. The recent long cruise of the battleship Oregon from her birth place in the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, demonstrates. tnat whatever the cost we must rave completed and- under the absolute control of this country, the Nicaragaan. canal.

After one of our ships Leases San. Francisco she is not available foe- naval! operations of any character until, she-has traced the whole coast line of South America. Time and money is consume-! in the needless journey around the Horn, and in case of war danger of capture by hostile fleets is ever present. Were this canal completed the jpme protection would be afforded the Pacific coast as is-now given to the Atlantic, and the effectiveness and availabilitj' of our navy-increased 100 per cent. Our trade with China and Japan makes necessary the completion of this waterway and the revenue derived from its use in times of war.

The produce of the fertile valley of the Mississippi will be exchanged for California's golden wealth through this artificial waterway. It i only a question of time until this canal is constructed, then why should not the present generation participate in it commercial advantages, and the naval protection it will afford? The most opportune moment in our history has arrived, and if "taken at Its flood" will lead on to enduring expansion. We need no lame excuse as a so: to jealous nations to justify our acquisition of foreign territory; we have that in the present war. The only limit to be placed upon the conquering advance of Schley, Sampson and Dewey, is the length and breadth of Spain's colonial possessions. We are in honor bound to exercise no dominion over Cuba, but the gratltult of her emancipated people will there ive us a fortified harbor and coaling station and a trade treaty highly advantageous to our commercial interests.

It requires no prophet to see that at the end present hostilities all Spanish possessions will be under the absolute control of the United States, and their destinies will be in our hands. Colonies held by armed force are troublesome and expensive, if voluntarily annexed they become mu- mi TT-Ua a -i ion tuaiiy benenciai. ine tim afford to vouchsafe to the inhabitants of all acquired Spanish territory a Republican form of government, and thus become the philanthropist of nations. But in no event should the lands acquired by the expenditure of treasure and the best blood of American manhood, be relinquished until we have established fortified harbors and coaling stations at every stategic point. When this aggressive American policy is followed to its destined end, the stars and stripes will cast her shadow upon the Castilian cas- -tie as well as the Malay hut, she will be lapped by the waves of the Indian ocean and lulled by the music of the cariDeaa sea.

The assembling of patriotic millions the cities and hamlets of our in celebration of this day, has a wider -and deeper significance than the day itself implies. In place of the wild hilar--ity of the Fourth of July, we have a respectful and reverent silence. The survivors of the war have gathered here to pay respect to the memory of their departed comrades; all other citizens are-prompted by the same sentiment, but in addition they feel that the day belongs to the living as well as to thedead; in according to the victims of the war the full measure, of their homage, they Jo not forget that we owe to the veterans--more than we can pay. As they, with faltering step and decreasing numbers, deck with flowers the grass-grown graves of their departed comrades, there 1 poured upon their whitening heads the-reverent benediction of a grateful people. In seventy million thankful hearts is the feeling that all we have, all we hope to be.

In fact, the very existence of our nation, is due to their fortitude and unselfish loyalty. By their bayonet they won an empire; the whole ternton of the south was theirs by conquest. Haa they demanded for each man an estate in that vast domain, who was there to say them nay? Had they ordered congress to give to each a princely pension, who could have clogged the wheels of legislation. The entfre machinery of the government was in their control, and constituted authority rested upon their bayonets. These men knew no fear; th-2y -had faced death upon a thousand battle fields, and to them the day was ushered in by the rattle of musketry and it -departure was heralded by the rosr of cannon.

To assume control of the clvi, functions of government was to them the trivial incident of dispatching a. corporals guard to the halls of congress an3 making their wishes known. Did" they profit by their four years' of fatigue and dar.zer? Did, they return to their fellow-citizens, covered with the pelf of, plunder and spoils of conquest? Did, they carve out ior uicmscuw petencv from that which they had gained? None of these. As the smoke-rose from the last battlefield, they were hMnsnran, hntind. learlne witri them their torn and tattered flags, their-honor and their wounds.

As long as thl: nation shall endure, as long as the StarB and Stripes stand as the emDiem ot Freedom, yea, as long as the tngusnt language Is used for the communication of thought, future generations will honor and revere the memorr of the citizen Boldler of '6.
