No longer isolated between the oceans, the United States are henceforth to play an impor- tant part in. the development of the history of our globe. As a people, we stand for civil and religious freedom. It has been truly said that the Louisiana purchase of 1803 made America a steamboat nation ; the acquisition of Cali- fornia, a railroad and telegraph nation ; and, in like man- ner, the acquisition of Hawaii, Porto Rico, and, above all, the Philippines in 1898, must make our country a naval na...tion. These new relations will not only affect the com- mercial interests of our country, but will also exert an influence on literature. The present is an age of close international relations. Submarine cables and fleet steamers bring the various nations of the earth close together. With a clearer knowledge of one another, and with the common interests fostered by commerce, kindlier feelings are developed. From time to time the civilized nations of the earth unite in great expositions of their choicest products.
