We had less than 10000. 900 of popula-

IrHnted only on the Atlantic: now we
face both oceans. Then our industries
were few in number and restricted in
character: now they are multitudinous
and expanded. Then We had ONLY sim
pie and primitive conditions; now the
most highly developed and complicat-
ed known TO modern civilization.
But greater than the expanse Of our
domain, greater than the multiplied
uon OF our wealth, greater than any
power that has come to us. greater
than any glory we have achieved
greater than any of our physical ac-
complishments. has been the improve

pie can accomplish such wonderful sue

abroad cannot be too thoroughly stu

in the distribution of its powers among
