resentatives from the Wilmington dis
trict, has been the recipient of many
congratulations upon his speech deliver
ed in the House on the oath day of Feb
ruary. In the short time yielded to him
fifteen minutes, Mr.. Bellamy compressed
many sound truths with reference to the
policy of taxation and expansion. Here
is his speech in full:
Mr. Bellamy.-Mr. Chairman. on Mon
day last this House, by unanimous
vote, passed the bill abolishing the last
OF the war taxes, which were levied to
meet the expenses of the war of humani-
ty which was declared by our Govern
ment against Spain to release her tyran-
meal hand from the throat of PROSTATE
Cuba.
The necessity for the repeal of these
war taxes had been long apparent, and
this burden on our people ought to have
been removed more than two years ago.
when the Democratic majority endeavored
to abolish them, but were prevented by
the majority party in this chamber.
This action, however, coming as late
as It does, is gratifying to the friends of
good government, who believe that I'M

public of Cuba is invited to become a
part of the United States, of America and
her people to become citizens of the
United States, with the assurance that
Cuba will be entitled at first to a Terri
torial form of government under the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States,
with delegate in Congress to represent
her people. and that ultimate statehood
will be granted when, in the Judgment of
the Congress of the United States. il Is
advisable to admit Cuba, including such
other West India islands belonging to tho
United States as may be deemed advis-
able, as single State in the Union, to
be called the State of Cuba
1t has long been the dream, if not the
ardent desire, of the American people
that Cuba should some day become an
integral part of our Union. Mr.. Thomas
Jefferson recommended it's acquisition
early in his first administration
During President Folks administration
our Government offered Spain 500, O0O,-
600 for the islands, but Spain promptly
declined the offer.
In 1854 President Pierce. through his
Secretary of State, Marcy, appointed Min
our representatives at three European
courts, to confer with Spain in reference
to it's acquisition, and these ministers
published manifesto in which they said
the Union could never enjoy repose and
security "as long as Cuba is not en-
braced within it's boundaries"
The National Democratic Convention of
1885, and that also of 1860, both declared
in favor of the acquisition of Cuba. 1t is
Democracy. therefore-yes, Jeffersonian
Democracy--to advocate the expansion of
our Republic, if such expansion extends
to the acquisition of contiguous territory,
or even territory in close proximity to
the American Union.
1t is the manifest destiny of this great
American Union, this great national Re-
public, to expand its territorial borders,
and in the course of time to embrace
within its limits the Dominion of Canada
and the Republic of Mexico, and to be-
come a great North American Republic,
ruling the people who inhabit it with
those principles embodied in that form
of government first promulgated to the
world in the written Constitution of the
United States. And it is a fervent wish
in which l may be pardoned for ndulg-
ing that l may live to see the day when
by peaceable and honorable means not
only those two great countries. but Cuba
as we'll, may be merged into our Union
under the same flag and the same Con-
Stitution which is now the emblem OF
our nationality and the chart of our pow
ers.
How can We bring about these ends !?
Not by hostile tariff laws, which already
have alienated many of the best people
of Canada, who have fondly cherished the
idea of annexation to this Republic, but

as may be designated by the Government
of the United States
If we can then be free ourselves by this
means of the Philippine blunder and con-
fine our territorial acquisitions to the
American continent, the United States of
America will become the leading factor
in the worlds civilization. Our army,
which if large, may become, as the
founders said 1.-The engine of despotism,"
may be kept at a minimum and not be a
burden to the people; our navy should
be increased to keep pace with our con-
stantly increasing commerce, and will be
able to protect American interests in all
quarters of the globe. If, then, by gen
erous treatment we can further gain the
good will of Cuba, and by the passage of
the Newlands resolution invite her to ap-
ply for annexation the Gem of the An
titles" will add much to the wealth of
our nation. She will become valuable
strategic point, as she is now a natural
military outpost for our Government,
which, if not secured, may in the not dis
tant future, be used to the great detri-
ment Of this country in time of war.
Let us all be true and cling with con-
fidence to the traditions of the fathers.
Let us avoid entangling alliances and
develop our Republic on the Western
Hemisphere.
Let us preserve and defend the Monroe
doctrine.
Let us preserve our trade by the prin-
ciples of amity and fair dealing.
Our people will then be prosperous and
happy The American name will be rev.
cred throughout the world as the syno-
hymn of honor, chivalry and progress.

plenty will prevail throughout the land

rocal trade relations as to those articles
she produces that would not cripple or
injure any existing industries of our
country and by encouraging the most
friendly social intercourse, which will

most magnificent citizenship, but also the
most splendid material and industrial

Many annexationiSts have boldly pro-
claimed that the Teller resolution passed
at the time of the declaration CT the war
against Spain, viz:
THAT the United States discaims any
disposition or intention to exercise sover-
eighty, Jurisdiction or control over said
island except for the pacification thereof,
and asserts it's. determination, when that

sacrificing the blood and property of this
nation, which was offered up on the altar
of humanity.
That resolution was the expression of
a policy long adopted by this nation in

the world, which has ever made it the
beacon light to lead on all struggling
peoples, which have been restless for lib

in many of his views of governmental

used this language:
II most earnestly ask your attention
to the wisdom, indeed. to the vital need
of providing a Substantial reduction of

In enforcing this grave matter upon
Congress he but gave emphasis to these
characteristics, expression to a wise and
statesman like policy, and to a sentiment
that lies deeply embedded in every phi
lanthropic American heart.
These views arc entitled to the re-
spectful and serious consideration of this

New York's Southern Colony,
New York Commercially

When the Southerners resident in New
York get together once a year for their
annual dinner the town seems, for the
nonce, to belong to them. Then the
South is sure enough lin the cradle"
hereabout. And it will be interesting to
everybody, and surprising to some no
doubt, to learn that in our heterogeneous
population of three and half millions
the Southern born element is by no
means unconspicuous every day in the
year. The census returns show that we
have upward of $4,000 of them here all
the time, with their numbers constantly
Increasing, and not a few of them have
achieved prominence, distinction and in
fluence in all the professions and various
branches of business. Add to them the
Northern born sons and daughters of
Southern parents, and New York's perma-
nent Southern colony must be more than
| 100, 900.
The distribution according to the States
of their nativity is in round numbers
about as follows:
Born on Maryland soil but now New
Workers, 5000; Virginia has contributed
22,700 of her sons and daughters; from
North Carolina have come $500; from
South Carolina, AGO; we have over 1000
Georgians Florida has sent us 1,400;
Alabama contributes 1850; of Kentuck-
ians, we have 300; while Louisiana has
given to New York 2,400 of her natives
Texas 1900, Tennessee 1000 and Missis-
sippi 500 That is total of 59,450. If
we include also, those present New York
ers who were born in West Virginia sub
sequent TO it's separation from the Old
| Dominion We shall have 800 more South
erners here. Letting Arkansas into the
colony would add about 800 to it and, Mis-
souri, being admitted on the same basis
| OF recognition, that would give US 3,400
more. The District of Columbia might
knock harder and still not get in-but it
is a fact that there are $500 of her ma
tives resident here in New York.
The, most striking and significant fea
| ture of these figures is the contribution
| that Virginia has made to our Southern
colony, 227OO, and the largest number in
the list Maryland stands next with $1,000
Both States are comparatively near to
New York. to be sure-but propinquity
appears not to have been special factor
| in this matter. The close business ties
be tween New York and the ports and
other cities Of Virginia and Maryland
serve better to explain it. North Caro-
lipa's colony here is larger. compared as
to area and population, than that of any
other Southern State-but why search for
the causes? land Virginia stands fourth
among all the forty-five States in the size
of her New York colony. being led by
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts in order; the Old Dominion out
ranks Connecticut even, our nearest
neighbor.
While our Southern colony is something
to be proud of. it is at the same time a
source of qualification that the stay-at-
home Southerners are just as good people
and vastly more numerous-and they are
building up community that it will be
hard to drive the natives away from
twenty or thirty years from now.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-03-09

While in the capital invested Massa-
chusetts stands first, South Carolina,
Rhode Island and North Carolina follow
in successive order. In North Carolina,
in 1900, 30273 persons were employed in
these mills, while 30,201 were employed
in South Carolina, and 1928 in Georgia.
In North Carolina, in 1901, $17, 3S6, ga
OF material was used. and in South Caro-
lima SIT 1868, 1872, and 81 1885 in GeOgia.
In the last two years the cotton mill in
dustry has been much depressed and
many mills have been run at a loss. 1t
is estimated that with proper reciprocal
arrangements the cotton goods trade
alone could be increased to $13, 100000 a
year. when that country is permitted TO
make a living price on sugar and tobac-
co, which today, on account of the high
tariff, we are reliably informed, is raised
and sold at a loss and her people unable
to buy her products.
There is another consideration which
makes the residents of the Atlantic sea-
board look with favor upon the problem
of annexation. Situated SO close to our
doors with a rich soil and luxuriant vege-
tation under a semi-tropical sun, Cuba
has been for generations past breeding
spot for that most virulent and fatal oil
all pests, yellow fever. We have seen
our seaport towns, in years gone by
swept by epidemics of this dreadful dis
eaes, brought from Cuba, with such vio-
lence that our towns were almost de-
populated. 1t took years to recover from
the decentralization and loss. both to life
and property, and yet each recurring sea-
son they stood in awe of another visi-
tation.
