Sir. admitting that under our partnership with the Almighty we have a perfect right to take all those natural benefits away from the people to whom they now belong. and with religious ceremony appropriate them to ourselves as deserving Christians. who would be permitted to enjoy these new sources of fortune? Certainly the American farmer would never go to that hot climate to seek a new home. and if he should. with his limited means. he could never hope to succeed in raising coffee. sugar. and other tropical products in competition with the large corpaorations which would soon own and control most all the valuable lands of those islands. Surely the American laborer would never go there to compete with the cheap pauper labor of that country. but the American trusts and syndicates. whose capital would enable them to establish and maintain large plantations and factories in those islands. employ pauper labor for that work. bring their products to America for high prices. and reap their millions from these new colonies. they would enjoy this new harvest. No one understands this better than the President himself. Sir. regardless of the millions of money already expended. regardless of the untold suffering we have already inflicted upon those libertyloving people.
