I listened with a great deal of pleasure to the address just made by the Senator from Ohio . I think lie touched a responsive chord in the heart of every American citizen when he said that we wish to press our civilization onward and upward. but I think there is a limit to our right to press it. There is a vast difference between expanding upon this side of the hemisphere. between purchasing and making part of our domain a territory adjoining us. peopled by a white race. and pressing our control over into Asiatic waters and seizing upon a people of an entirely different race. with little or no Caucasian blood in their veins. They have their civilization. we have ours. They are not consistent in all respects with each other.
