To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there is a class of people who now say that this policy of acquisition, by which we have grown great and powerful, should cease, that the nation is large enough, and that even the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, with their own consent and with the consent of the whole world, would mark a new departure in national policy, fraught with infinite trouble and disaster. They admit, for it is admitted by all, that in no event can the United States permit any other great power to con- trol thes...e islands. That has been our settled policy in support of which all political parties have been united for more than fifty years. Even now the opponents of annexation in the Senate have introduced a resolution declaring that the exercise of control over the Hawaiian Islands by any other government would be deemed an act unfriendly to the United States. This is extending the Monroe doctrine to the Hawaiian Republic. It is a declaration that those islands belong to this con- tinent, and that their possession by a foreign power would be dangerous to our peace and safety.
