Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Globe, Vol. 9: A New Review of World-Literature, Society, Religion, Art and Politics During last January Richard Croker, of New York, was reported as having announced for publication that the "sixteen to one" issue was dead; that expansion or non-expansion was the living American issue of the day, and that he, Croker, was in favor of expansion; that is, of holding all the provinces that we have bluffed and bullied Spain out of, plus those that we have already accepted from thieves, and others that we may yet steal from any of the weaker races in the American tropics or in Asiatic or other seas. Mr. Croker is not a great man, except in the enormity of his reputed ill-gotten wealth, which is enough to make any fool appear great in these days, and he is the farthest removed from a statesman; but as leader of the local Democracy of Greater New York, he is a man of vast local political influence. The Democrats failed to elect their candidate for governor of New York last fall, however, because Richard Croker was an imprudent local manipulator rather than a statesman, and like all men of his class - that is, the class of local heavy-weights - he is too confident of his own powers to consult those who might give him and his party greater influence by giving them greater intelligence. In the present instance Mr. Croker is right on general principles but utterly wrong in his particulars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
