  • I warn the Government

    Mr. Speaker, sir, in whatever section of the House hon. members may sit, or however profoundly they may differ from the economic views which underlie the remarks of the hon. member for Blackburn [Mr. Snowden], they will all, at least, desire to join in a tribute to the sincerity and ability displayed in the speech…

  • Projet de séparation des Églises et de l’État

    Le 10 février dernier, vous avez déclaré, à une forte majorité que les circonstances ayant rendu inévitable la séparation des Églises et de l’État, la discussion et le vote de cette réforme s’imposaient de toute nécessité, dans cette session même. C’était un engagement solennel, pris en pleine connaissance de cause, devant le pays tout entier.…

  • First Inaugural Adress

    MY fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being…

  • State of the Union Address

    The Nation continues to enjoy noteworthy prosperity. Such prosperity is of course primarily due to the high individual average of our citizenship, taken together with our great natural resources; but an important factor therein is the working of our long-continued governmental policies. The people have emphatically expressed their approval of the principles underlying these policies,…

  • Strength and Decency

    I am particularly glad to see such a society as this flourishing as your society has flourished, because the future welfare of our nation depends upon the way in which we can combine in our men, in our young men, decency and strength. Just this morning when attending service on the great battleship Kearsarge, I…

  • Discours à la jeunesse

    Mesdames, Messieurs, Jeunes élèves, C’est une grande joie pour moi de me retrouver en ce lycée d’Albi et d’y reprendre un instant la parole. Grande joie nuancée d’un peu de mélancolie ; car lorsqu’on revient à de longs intervalles, on mesure soudain ce que l’insensible fuite des jours a ôté de nous pour le donner…

  • Leader’s speech

    My Lord Derby, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen: I am not a stranger to this audience – (hear, hear) – nor do I re­quire any introduction, I hope, of an elaborate kind, either to my friends in Manchester or to the larger national gathering which is collected within these walls, and which represents every Conservative…

  • Controlling the Trusts

    The Congress assembles this year under the shadow of a great calamity. On the sixth of September, President McKinley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, and died in that city on the fourteenth of that month. Of the last seven elected Presidents, he is the third who has been…

  • Debut en las Cortes

    Señores diputados, cuando yo descendí desde los humildes asientos de la tribuna de la prensa a estos escaños ya sabía que no habría de encontrarme con un Congreso que se diferenciase notablemente de aquellos que conocí en los largos años que desde aquella tribuna asistí a las sesiones de esta Cámara. He visto que el…

  • Pedimos el concierto economico para Catalunya

    Hay realmente un problema que podemos llamar regionalista y un problema que podríamos llamar al propio tiempo catalanista. Yo creo que sí, estoy firmemente convencido de que existe ese problema; más diré: estoy firmemente convencido de que conviene estudiarlo y de que conviene resolverlo cuanto antes si hemos de impedir el desarrollo de sucesos lamentables…
