"In the lJSth.year af our national : history there have been many surprises, ' and Tone bays, been! more surprised by ' tha changes that have occurred than our own people themselves. The pro. . gross that haa been made In every part . . of our national Ufa has surpassed our dreams and our -hopes.- We seem never - to have realised what our country was destined to become. ' "On- the matter of our territorial ex " pension our people have been amased at ; every step. The purchase of Lou la la na . was an event of such gigantic propor - lions that all the people were astounded. - The acquisition -of the Oregon territory '- "was folly to tha mind of the people 100 years ago.- Daniel Webster, that great American, said TOr years ago that tha ' .Rockies woulo! , beVoreve? tha western boundary of ournatlon. Then Mexico was added, and ; even . yet many are ' amased over It Jkleaka waa called Sew . " ad's folly. And now we have Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico before ws have realised what haa taken place. "Every new policy of the nation has been a surprise to tha natives. The very declaration of Independence waa un looked for. To tha people and to the world It aeeaned - almoat a ' foolhardy preaumptlon. But to the surprise of everybody, our faiheia made that dec laration good. Then the drafting of a constitution by the congress convened for tha purpose of amending tha Inter-J colonial agreements Waa an innovation. Indeed. The world haa not ybt recovered from the surprise oceaimjTiWby ttu un dreamed of Monroe doctrine. The whole slavery emancipation waa accomplished even before tha real cause of the civil war bad been adjusted. And before we have been aware the United States has been pushed into place ae a real world power. t iha resources and latent strength of our nation have forever been a surprise. Forty. yeara ago we war bankrupt. In I tha ayes of tha world, our industries had been paralysed by a long war. To day, even we, ourselves, are scarcely able to- believe that wa are the wealthiest among nations. The civil war would have, wracked any other naWoM, but In a single gen eration after that struggle we surpass every ration-in. production. In manufac tures, in exports, in inventlona and in I nuance. "Our system of defense has been tht surprise and admiration of tha world, An efficient army of 1,000,000 men Mould In a davr be nut into tha field. and wa have a Vavy that haa won tha praise of all nations. There earn to our shores aim sat a million strangers, aliens, every year, and to the amaaement of everybody, the na tion haa been able to amalgamate them.
