In my Judgment. Senators. viewing through the glass of history and noting now the march of new. events. I am compelled to say that I behold my America for the future either to be all American or Asiatic. I can not accept the thought that America can be part Asiatic without recognizing at the very moment that the influence once ingrafted will grow until the whole American system is infused withthe disease of that which makes certain oriental systems soobnoxious to American civilization. Let us reflect upon the theory upon which we are moving. Let us see what are the troubles in America and why the chairman of the Naval Committee. the eminent Senator from South Carolina . the distinguished chairman of the Military Committee. the Senator from Oregon . are justified. with the splendid following behind them. in presenting these bills carrying this Innovation of power to enforce peace for our free Republic.
