CONTINENTAL CONQUEST 



perity of the American people during the first century 

 of their national life was due to this luminous fact ? 

 Can there be any reasonable doubt that if the policy of 

 material conquest over new areas can find another field 

 on which to operate, and that if it be entered upon with 

 the old vigor and faith, it will confer another century of 

 prosperity upon the nation so fortunately endowed ?
