Section C Passage 1 is adapted from a speech delivered in 1898 by Albert J. Beveridge,"March of the Flag." Passage 2 is adapted from a speech delivered in 1900 by WilliamJennings Bryan, "Imperialism." Passage 1        Fellow-Citizens: It is a noble land that God has given us； a land that can feed and clothethe world； a land whose coast lines would enclose half the Line countries of Europe； a landset like a sentinel between the two imperial oceans of the globe； a greater England with anobler destiny. It is a mighty people that He has planted on this soil； a people sprung from themost masterful blood of history； a people perpetually revitalized by the virile .working-folk of all the earth； a people imperial by virtue of their power, by right of theirinstitutions, by authority of their heaven-directed purposes--the propagandists and not themisers of liberty. It is a glorious history our God has bestowed upon His chosen people； ahistory whose keynote was struck by Liberty Bell； a history heroic with faith in our missionand our future； a history of statesmen, who flung the boundaries of the Republic out intounexplored lands . . . a history of soldiers, who carried the fag across blazing deserts andthrough the ranks of hostile mountains, even to the gates of sunset； a history of a multiplyingpeople, who overran a continent in half a century . . . a history divinely logical, in the processof whose tremendous reasoning we find ourselves to-day. . . .        Think of the thousands of Americans who will pour into Hawaii and Porto Rico whenthe Republic's laws cover those islands with justice and safety! Think of the tens of thousandsof Americans who will invade . . . the Philippines when a liberal government . . . shallestablish order and equity there! Think of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who willbuild a . . . civilization of energy and industry in Cuba, when a government of law replacesthe double reign of anarchy and tyranny!-- think of the prosperous millions that Empress ofIslands will support when, obedient to the law of political gravitation, her people ask for thehighest honor liberty can bestow, the sacred Order of the Stars and Stripes, the citizenship ofthe Great Republic!
Passage 2
        If it is right for the United States to hold the Philippine Islands permanently and imitateEuropean empires in the government of colonies, the Republican party ought to state itsposition and defend it, but it must expect the subject races to protest against such a policy andto resist to the extent of their ability.
       The Filipinos do not need any encouragement from Americans now living. Our wholehistory has been an encouragement not only to the Filipinos, but to all who are denied a voicein their own government. If the Republicans are prepared to censure all who have usedlanguage calculated to make the Filipinos hate foreign domination, let them condemn thespeech of Patrick Henry. When he uttered that passionate appeal, "Give me liberty or give medeath," he exprest a sentiment which still echoes in the hearts of men. Let them censureJefferson； of all the statesmen of history none have used words so offensive to those whowould hold their fellows in political bondage.
       Let them censure Washington, who declared that the colonists must choose betweenliberty and slavery. Or, if the statute of limitations has run against the sins of Henry andJefferson and Washington, let them censure Lincoln, whose Gettysburg speech will be quotedin defense of popular government when the present advocates of force and conquest areforgotten.
        Some one has said that a truth once spoken can never be recalled. It goes on and on, andno one can set a limit to its ever-widening influence. But if it were possible to obliterate everyword written or spoken in defense of the principles set forth in the Declaration ofIndependence, a war of conquest would still leave its legacy of perpetual hatred, for it wasGod himself who placed in every human heart the love of liberty. He never made a race ofpeople so low in the scale of civilization or intelligence that it would welcome a foreignmaster.
       Those who would have this Nation enter upon a career of empire must consider, not onlythe effect of imperialism on the Filipinos, but they must also calculate its effects upon ourown nation. We cannot repudiate the principle of self-government in the Philippines withoutweakening that principle here.
