The speech was under the auspices of the Anti-Imperialist League, and attract ed thousands, who were unable to enter the auditorium TBo rrurh at the doors when Mr. Cockran accompanied by May or Harrison and others arrived, was so great that scored of men and women fainted, and both Mr. Cockran and Chi cago s executive were Jostled and half suffocated. United States Renator Jones and his wife were caught In the throng, and only by heroic efforts was Mr*. Jones rescued from Injury. Mayor llarriron Introduced Mr. Cock ran who Immediately began an attack on the expansionist policy of the govern ment. He said: "Slated In Ita very narrowest compass, the Issue before the American people Is the right of this govrromeni to seixe dis tant territory an,l govern It against the will of Its Inhabitants, not under our con stitutional government, but through ofltce holdera to be named by the President who will administer their functions outside the const Itu lion and Independently of Its limit*. Upon the one side the Republicans contend that Inasmuch as the extra con stitutional powers are to be exercised out side the United State*, Imperialism, so far as thin country Is concerned Is n,t an Issue of this campaign and they go on to gay that even If It were dangerous they would still he Itound to vote for It. because to defeat It by the election of the Democratic candidates would be to bring about a money panic nnd that would be too great a price to pay for the_se curlty of Democratic Institutions. Now. to that the Democrat* answer th.it such a policy would be a violation of the prtn dples Hint government tlerlves Its Just powrrn from the consent of the governed, ami that It would he Infamous to repudi ate In our hour of strength the principle which we invoked In our hour of weak ness. They contend further that desfs>- tlc or arbitrary powers cannot be confide,l to officers of a republican govrrnment without endangering tho Integrity of Democratic Institutions. Thetr preserve tlon cannot endanger prorperty. but must contribute to its permanence and to 'ts growth. What Imperialism Is. "Imperialism is not expansion and the carrying of our political system Into new country. it I* the ererslon In distant lands by this government of another gov ernment wholly distinct from it and rad ically different from it and. therefore, Ir responsibly hostile to It. "It mean* armies must be put In the fields and that American llvs* must be sacrificed and the lives of helpless people must !>• destroyed, and If the resistance be subdued now. their resentment will be undying Resentment will seek opportu nities and expression tn the future. As the man who Injured another expect* re venge even when none Is planned, so the alien foreign government which has robbed the peopb-rof Its birthright of lib erty constantly fear* resistance even when none I* planned and then must make preparation all the time for conflicts in the field to Insure the safely of Its own etttgena. To think that such a system should ever have been submitted to the American people and attempted to be Justified by th purchas of Louisiana is perhaps the most extraordinary Incident in our history. '•outside of the naked fact that Jeffer son !<k territory and that Mr. McKinley Is trying to take territory, there Is no resemblance between tho two policies On the rontrgry In every element that distin guishes them there ls a radical and Irre concilable difference. Jefferson took terri tory to avoid war McKinley Is making war to lake territory. Jefferson took con tiguous territory to do Justice and avoid the provo, ailons of war In the future. McKinley I* taking u*ei* and remote territory, which. If he succeeds In subdu ing. will cause future contest* without number Jrfferscn took territory to Incor porate tt Into the t'nl >n of states. Mc- Kinley is s txlng territory not to expand our constitutional government over It. but to turn It ovrr to officeholders to be ex ploited and plundered by syndicate* and lavorltes." Why Not Take China, Tnof Mr. Cockran ridiculed the various ar gument* of the RepubHcan on tors upon th* Philippine question, and *atd If It were profitable to take the Phllpplne*. It would be equally profitable to annex China. > _ , It wua nearly midnight when Mr. Cock ran concluded After reviewing th* ef fort* of the Boer envoy* to obtain recog nition at the hand* of the government, he eatd. referring to the relation* of this administration with the English govern ment; "There wa* not an alliance. That would not be the proper way to describe It. It wa* a surrender of this government to the control of the British foreign of fice." He maintained that tf the gold stand ard Is not secure now It can never b* made secure by the election of Repub licans. In • oncluslon Mr. Co-kran said; "I liave no itoubt how this campaign will end. I nee on every side the proof that Jurtbe will triumph now as It ha* alwayw triumphed In this i-ountry. I can not believe Ihtl s republic' Is In danger that Is built upon all the virtue which humanity has ilevelo|ied and whb'h I* tn Itself the supremo outcome of Christian civilization.
