Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Wm, E. Mason of Illinois: In the Senate of the United States, Tuesday, January 10, 1899No matter how easy may be the yoke of a foreign power no matter how lightly it sits upon the shoulders, if it is not imposed by the voice of his own nation and of his own country, he will not, he can not, and he means not to be happy under its burden. - Webster.Mr. Mason said:Mr. President: It is easy to drift with the tide, but not always safe. It is pleasant to remain within the harbor when the storm is on without. But sometimes the storm within, the inner conscience, is more dangerous to peace of mind than the storm without may be to human life.The simple resolution which I have introduced, and which I shall ask a vote upon before the final passage of any material legislation or treaty upon this subject, does not have necessarily anything to do with the treaty. I do not intend to speak upon that subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
