Excerpt from The Political Mission of the United States
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
The subject assigned to me falls more naturally into the domain of the philosophical theorist, or of the practical politician, than of the active man of affairs. We are all men of business, and absorbed in its details, and neither our time nor our associations admit of prolonged speculations upon the possibilities of government. We are an industrial people, and the great question with us is. How do institutions best serve our needs? We are not so wholly materialistic that we cannot deeply feel the sentiments of liberty and nationality, and yet both form the broad foundations upon which we must build for permanence. No intelligent consideration of the questions affecting our present and future is possible without an understanding of the successive stages in the development of our system.
The political mission of the United States has so far been wrought out by individuals and territorial conditions.
