All that the Southern people demand of you is to maintain the integrity of our institutions and to keep the flag untarnished by any star. pinned to it by a bayonet. which is not an equal star. We abhor your scheme of subjugation of the Philippines. We abhor your hypocrisy in dealing with a colored race who alone must inhabit that archipelago. because nobody knows better than you do that there is no opportunity for any immigrant. that thd conditions are inimical. and that our tenure there is only for the purpose of exploitation. the furnishing of a field for the investment of capital. the possible expansion of commerce by selling to those people. the use of Manila as a depot in the archipelago. We could have got that without spending one dollar. We could have had all we wanted in .the way of commercial treaties with those people.
