France, Germany, countries inferior to us in wealth and population. Sir, I warn you that you can not ever enter on siich a policy as this and stop short at Hawaii. You can not stop. Still less can you go backward in your tracks. I have made no reference to the great (4overnment of Russia. Ambitious as her rulers may be, ready and anxious for acquisi- tions, and a groat military power as she is, Russia seeks only con- ;;jN. -, 13 tigiions acquisitions— countries adjoining her own. These she conq...uers or annexes, populates tlieni. If there be room, and at any rate governs them by a strong hand. She seems to have a won- derful faculty in assimilating foreit^n countries that shcconciuers, as remarkable, indeed, as the Roman Empire of old, and so far there is no sign of decay. But Russia is a monarchy— a grand Empire with a gigantic army. Her system of government is not a representative one like ours. She has no free institutions. 13ut with all this she acciuires no colonies. The only colony she ever had— 1 mean Alaska— she sold to this country long ago.
