EX-PRESIDENT M'KINLEY

(Speech at Kokomo, Ind., October 21, 1898.) “And we must continue to stand together. So long as wo have any differences abroad, we must have none at home. Whenever we get through with our differences with another nation, then it will be time to resume our old disputes at home. But until that time we must stand for a common purpose, and stand together until the settlements of the war shall be embodied in the permanent form of a public treaty.* We commenced the ' war not for gain or greed or new possessions. We commenced it for freedom and to relieve our neighbors of oppression. And, having accomplished that, we must assume all the responsibilities that justly belong to that war, whatever they may be, and I am sure that the people of the country, without regard to party, setting aside all differences and distinctions, will remain together until we shall finally settle the terms of peace.”
