Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Expansion, Local Self-Government, and Equal Taxation, the American Policy: Speech by Hon. Wm; M. Stewart, of Nevada, Senate of the United States, Friday, February 16, 1900 The Senate having under consideration the joint resolution (S. R. 45) declaring the purpose of the United States with reference to the Philippine Islands - Mr. Stewart said: Mr. President: No amount of fault-finding, protesting, or remonstrating will prevent the fulfillment of the manifest destiny of the United States. On the 11th of January, 1871, a resolution was pending in the Senate to appoint a commission to go to San Domingo and examine the condition of the country and the people and report as to the advisability of ratifying the treaty of annexation. In discussing that resolution I said: I believe that it is a part of the destiny of this country, whether for good or evil, to annex more territory. I do not believe in the power of any man, or of any set of men, or of any party, to prevent the accomplishment of that destiny. While this Republic grows it must expand, it must increase: it must extend its territory as its wealth and power increase. That has been tory of every country while it was attaining its destiny. History does not furnish us an example of any nation that has risen to power and prominence which has not during its growth expanded. It is one of the elements of growth for a nation to expand as much as it is the element of growth in the oak, which, as it grows, must have room to extend its trunk and multiply its branches. -Congressional Globe, Forty-first Congress, third session, Part I, page 427. Subsequent events have strengthened me in the views I then expre d. While it is true that the opposition to President Grant´s Administration mustered over one-third of the votes of the Senate, and defeated the treaty, the parties who engaged in the defeat were overwhelmed at the next election. Their desperate effort to defeat President Grant´s re election, by a combination with the Democrats to elect Mr. Greeley President, illustrates the unpopularity of that partisan attempt to limit the growth of the Republic.
