in His Various
Attitudes.

plus more than enough to feed the world.
1t means that the money OF this earth Is
coming to this country. 1t means that
the time will come when they will COM
bine against us to prevent the extension
of American commerce and American
ideas. And the war with Spain is but the
bare twinkling of the coming day in COM
parison with that which some even of the
elder of those here present will witness.
Thank God we have taught the world a
lesson. Thank God they have learned
that the South was not conquered but
brought home. Thank God that they
have learned that we did not need for
eign war to spring up the spirit of dis
union in the United States. But that now
and forever 1t is a united and indissoluble
people, standing breast to breast and back
to back to fight either side of the conti-
nent whenever the time comes. Great
applause.)
But they tell US We can't assimilate the
Philippines. / don't know that We can.
and I don't know that we want to: but
let no man say that the digestion of this
country is not far greater than that of
any other nation on the globe, for we
have assimilated and digested and made
good American citizens of over $4,000 900 of
heterogeneous population since 1920, gath
cred from the four quarters of the globe,
from England to Java.

coming to the conclusion, as l believe he
has already instructed his commissioners
that it is impossible for us to partition
those islands with any power on the face
of the globe; that they can't be half Span
fsh and half American: that the genius of
our country cannot stand side by side with
the miserable caricature of government
that Spain has presented to the world for
the last 300 years Is there any man in
America who believes in giving up one
single inch of that soil beneath which lie
rotting the remains of one single Ameri-
can soldier who gave his life TO plant our
glorious flag In the place of that nasty
yellow rag of Spain? Never! Therefore
every man who believes that we should
hold those islands as fair prize of war
