The policy of expansion is Americas historic pol
icy. We have annexed the Philippines exactly as
we have annexed Hawaii. New-Mexco and Alaska
They part Of American territory, and we
have more right to give them up than we have
the right to restore Hawaii to the Kanaka Queen
70 abandon Alaska to the EsQuimaus There is
not a particle of difference between the cases. We
cannot go back first for the sake OF the islands
themselves. and next for the sake of our own
honor. The men who are making speeches the
unrighteousness Of expanding in the Philip
pines might with much justification incite the
Sioux and the Apache tribes to outbreak against
us. the ground that have right to retain
South Dakota Arizona.
The policy Of the Kansas City platform is a pol
Icy OF economic disaster and financial dishonor az
home and of unworthy shrinking from duty abroad
and appeal TO all honest. far seeing. brave and
patriotic men, North South, East or West what
their political affiliations may have been in
the past, to stand with against the men
who would bring such abuse and misery upon our
country and TO support us as we uphold the cause
of honesty and of industrial wellbeing at horne |
and the honor Of the American flag in the face of
all the peoples Of the earth.
