"WHO WAS THE SPEAKER?"
Under the above caption, the
Christian Herald in its issue of March
1 quoted a paragraph from an address
delivered in New York City
twenty years ago by an orator of national
fame. This was the quotation
which we then printed, supplementing
it with an invitation to our readers
- mt
to write to us within the montn 01 f
March, gving the name of this ora-(
tor "who gave so lucid and states-;
manlike a definition of national hon-j
or and national opportunity twenty i
years ago, which is equally applicable |
to the situation today."
If our boasted civilization and
Christianity mean anything, they
' should mean this: no war is justifiable
unless the cause or object stand
in just proportion to its cost in blood,
in destruction, in human misery, in
I political corruption, in social demor-'
alization, in relapse of civilization;'
and even then it is justfiable. only
when every expedient of statesmanship
to avert it has been thoroughly
exhausted.
What is the rale of honor to be
observed by a power so strong and so
advantageously situated as this republic
is? Of course, it should not
tamely submit to real encroachments
upon its rights. But surely it should
I not, whenever its own notions 01
right or interest collide with the notions
of others, fall into hysterics
and act as if it really feared for its
own security and its very independence.
With all its latent resources
for war, it should be the great peace
power of the world. It should never
' forget what a proud privilege . and
what an inestimable blessing it is not
to need and not to have, big armies
' and navies to support. It should
seek to influence mankind, not by
heavy artillery, but by good example

highest glory, not in battles won, but
in wars prevented. It should be so
invariably just and fair that other
nations would instinctively turn to
it as their mutual friend and the natural
adjuster of their differences,
thus making it the greatest preserver
of the world's peace. It will be a
glorious day for the United States
iwhen the good sense and the selfrespect
of the American people see
in this their manifest destiny. It all
rests upon peace. Is not this peace
with honor? Is not this good Americanism?
It is surely today the Americanism
of those who love their
country most.

distinguished in [American oratory.
The fifty-five tvho gave the name
of Carl Schurz tent the correct answer.
The passage was taken from
an address by Mr. Schurz, delivered
at a meeting of tlfe Chamber of Commerce
of the Stale of New York on
January 2, 1896,1 Mr. Schurz rising j
to second the resolutions embodied
in a report to th^ Chamber by its
Committee on F^eign Commerce
and the Revenue L|ws upon the then i
pending Venezuela question. Thej
address, which is ^ven under the
title of "The Tru| Americanism,"
may be found in \olume 9, page
1018, of "Amerikn Eloquence,"
published by the University Society
of New York. It x, a magnificent
speech, which is singtfarly applicable
to present conditions in the country
?a speech which e^ry American
who loves his country and does not
desire to see it embroed in the quarrels
of Europe can red with genuine
appreciation, It holda up the ideal
of "Higher Americanita," which regards
it as our duty i aim to be
the peace power of thetvorld, and to
strive, by every mea$ consistent
with national honor, tcflive up to j
that ideal in our diplomacy, our in-1
ternational relations, <^r business
on/1 in the Milfivnfiftn ol fVio Invo of
peace. Mr. Schurz had been a military
leader in the Civil War, but in
that address he put hin^elf on record
as opposing the spening of our
resources "during longVeriods of
peace on armaments of remendous
cost without immediate, use for

them." His view of "true Americanism"
is identical with that held by a
very large majority of the American
people today.
