No one now disi^utes the facts. The facts being admitted, the conclusion is inevitable. There is but one thing for us to do. We should free the Island of Cuba from Spanish interference or control. We should return the first deadly blow of war given us when the Spanish officials, by delib- erate, i^reconceived intention, destroyed our war vessel and mur- dered our sailors. Whether war be terrible or whether war be hell or not, no people or nation is worth surviving or is entitled to the blessing...s of freedom who will not fight under such circum- stances. We would all hail honorable peace, but there can be no honor coupled with peace now. Have we grown so rich, so enervated, . So attached to the unholy dollar, that we are afraid to fight for freedom? We freely ten- dered our sympathies to the Armenians suffering from Turkish cruelty. Shall we prove ourselves cowards by refusing to tender our sympathies, coupled with our might, to the Cubans? No, Mr. Chairman, we have taken our stand. We insist that no nation on this continent shall have the liberty to torture and starve her subjects deliberately and coldly to death, and that position we are willing to defend with our fortunes and our lives.
