the ways. that a new external policy
is coming, that a grander gait more
magnificent stride must be maintained
by the United States in the future, Eu-
ropean rulers do not know. But the
American knows it all knows that this
war will leave the United States with
the second greatest navy in the world,
and the skeleton at least Of a great
army to be maintained. These, that is,
we, the people, not only know all this
but know that Spain must lose all her
colonies before peace can come. Europe
might readily conclude from the evil
dence afforded by the late great war
over the question Of mo slaves, and all
free" to arrive at a satisfactory conciu-
sion Of what we ars thinking and what
we expect to do. America will go on
fighting with ever increasing energy
until they win without reference to the
sacrifice or to a national debt and in
winning the terms will be our own and
the expense to Spain will be proper
toned to the length and cost of the
war. The United States is for peace
and not for war. and when peace is
won will be slow to engage in another
war. But we will be ready in the future
for whatever may happen. America
has no rivals on the western continent
and never will have. We own practi-
cally the whole of the temperate zone
of the western hemisphere and our in
situations and destiny are sure. AS
for all the other powers of earth they
must henceforth reckon with the gov
eminent Of the United States of
