Qouonil Barnes Oratss on tho Gront
Quangos Taking Jlaco
It is a very few years ago nothinjr
in the lifetime ofHatlons that the
Hawaiiau Islands wore occupied by
precisely tho same race of people
that notv oxists in tho Philippines
The native Hawaiian liko tho Fili
pino is of tho pure Malay typo and
thoy were living in a stale of ab
solute barbarism There were all
the features we so much talk about
in tho Philippine Islands as a reason
why we should not take them Thoy
tell us about the Philippines that
thero are storms there there are
moousoous there there are earth
quakes there What is thero iu tho
Hawaiian Islands Just tho samo
sort of savages they talk about
Christianized somewhat in 1815
Yet a handful of Americans a mere
handful in comparison with tho po
pulation of those islands havp turn
ed it into a commercial center havo
made the islands vastly productive
and have hold them open for the
broadest and tho widest culture
There are colleges and schools there
all tho result of American mission
ary labor There is education there
is a great deal of refinement even
among the natives themselves It b
true that the Chinese nnd the Japa
nese havo douo tho most of the
manual labor in the Hawaiiau Isl
ands just exactly as the Chinese
and the Japanese are doing it to day
in the Philippines And the islands
themselves eaen one is a neoessary
part of the possessions of the United
Statos in view of what is going on
in the ditmomborraent of Asia and
tho taking possession of those coun
tries and of the people against
whom we have been defending our
selves since the very origin of this
Government Isnt hat true Do
you suppose it in for fun that Russia
is building a railway 5000 miles loug
acrons Siberia Do you suppoe it
is for lun that she is building a
branch railway down through Man
churia to Port Arthur Do you
suppose it is for fun that sho is
planning to build a railway anross
connecting with tho great city of
Poking Do yiu suppose it is for
fun that she haB fought the EogliBh
out nf tho charter for a railway con
necting both the great streams of
China and getting down to a point
where wheu tho timo come they
will be ready to shove the EugliFh
army ana forces out 01 bnangnai
and Hongkonc into tho sea Do
you suppose sho is spending 2000
000000 for fun They are intend
ing to dismember those great coun
tries And there will be a division
between them And why Because
they want those countries for their
trade The whole contest of the
world to day is for trado And
America has now entered the lists
Sho is no longer a nation of farms
she is no longer a pooplo who can
not manufacture what sho noeds for
her own consumption Hor ability
to produce is vastly iu oxcobb of hor
capacity to oonsume
Tho changes that havo been made
within the last few years aro prodi
gious aud astonishing Instead of
tho balance of trado being against
tho United States it is for it Since
tlio inauguration of William McKin
ley this has proceeded with such
gigantia strides that this year the
balance of trado iu our favor will
very considerably oxcood ono billinu
dollars What loos that mean It
moans that tho American meohanio
tho man who builda everything
from a birdcage to a stoameugiuo
with his skill and improved machin
ery can build bettor machines aud
soil thorn nhoapor ovou at tho high
wages we pay our lauorors auci me
chanics than they can build them
for themselves It means that our
vast granarioB in tho Northwest can

means thai tho monoy of this earth
is coming to this country It moans
tho time will como when thov will
combine against us to prevent the
extonsion of American commerce
and American ideas And the war
with Spain is but the hare twinkling
of the comiug day in comparison
with that which some even of tho
elder of those here present will wit
uobs
Thank God wo havo taught tho
world a lesson Thank God they
have learned that the South was not
conquered but brought home
Thank God that they have learned
that wo did not noed a foreign war
to spring up tho spirit of disunion
ia tho Unitod States But that now
and forover it is a united and indis
soluble people standing breast to
breaBt and baok to back to fight
either side of the continent when
ever tho time comes Groat ap
plause
But they tell us we cant assimi
late the Philippine8e I dont know
that we can and I dont know that
wo want to but let no man say that
the digestion of this country is not
far greater than that of any other
nation on the globe for we havo
assimilated and digested and made
good American citizens of over 50
000000 of heterogenous population
since 1820 gathered from the four
quarters of tho globe from England
to Java
For That Tirod Feeling
That steals over you as the days
work is over theres nothing else

need beats all the medicine you can
