ACQUISITION OF Cnha.

The acquisition ofCuba seems to be

upon the matter, snd We @ink a large
majority advocate its speedy acquisition;
and let us confess, We most heartily
sympathizc with them and agree with the
Presidents views in his message. Mr..
Jefferson, the father of the great Dem
o%cratic party, was for its acquisition
AS early as 1909, in a letter to Mr..
Madison, he said hat with it we should
have such an Empire for Liberty as she
never surveyed since the creation; and
he-was "persuadcd@fh no ce%ustitutioh'
was ever before 20 we'll calculated as
ours for extensive empire and self-gov-
rernment." In 1923, in a letter to Mr..
Monroe, he remlrke d that he candidiy
confessed that he HAD ever looked on
Cuba as. the u most interesting addition
WHICH could ever be made to. y system
Of States.n gTheH control whieh6i said
he sswitha Florida hpoiUe.i sthis Gislaaal
would give us ia the Gulf ofsMsnxlifhz4
and the eouRtries and isthmus border,
ing on it, would fill up the measure of
our political we'll sbeing.Ri 1t was in the
same letter that he announced the does
trine which President Monroe adopted.
and which has ever since been known
as the Menree doctrine Sour Just and,
Fundamental maxim should be never to
entangle ourselves in the broils of Eu-
and second, never to suffer Europe
to intermeddle with cis-Atlantic AZ
So we see wither Mr.. JefersoE's
clear foresight pointed in regard to
Cuba. He had, while President, pur-
Louisiana; he had in 1921, wit
qesscd the aequisitiOn0o f Florida; we
only needed Cuba, aud the country that
naturally come with it, to make
such an empire for Liberty AS. she
never surveyedJsin since the creation"-
What he saw ASA want the country now
Secls as a necessity, The democratic
party has been true to the teachings 9fe|
tIr.. jefferson regarding European in-E
and it has never ceasedsto
.ook on Cuba as 'sthe most interesting
addition that could ever be made to our
of States" Al object that he
sas so. desirable of accomplishing, can
not, wei6rmiy believe, be long deferreda
,ithcr by foreign interpe5ition or do
opposition. 81
