takes the shape IN the popular mind of q
pronounced and even intense feeling that
In this matter Of expansion the duty Of
America is oloar. Ask the farmers and
business men in the west why the course
which they propose Is the duty Of America.
They will give no direct reason or logical

nevertheless perfectly clenr and decided
about one thing, and that is that this

that America should keep stiff upper lip
to the world; should hold that which she
has not sought but which has come to
her; that she should keep what she has
got" She must, In short. In favorite
phrase, be true to her own destiny"
Now, that Is one body Of opinion. There
Is also another great body of opinion,
largely prevailing among the reasoning
classes In the United States. Many men
OF this class undoubtedly hold very strong
