The fiist official act of Governor

CROKRH M'JIOT.MS I XI’AHMON
NKW VOKK, -Inn. *5. —— Tbe Jour
nnl and Advertiser will tomorrow
print ili« following statement given
out t<-night liy llicbard Croker:
“I believe in expansion; I believe
in bolding whali ver possessions we
Lava gained by annexation, purchase
or w ar.
“This policy is not only patriotic,
but it is tbe only safe one to pursue.
Any other policy would show weak
ness on the pail of the United States
and invite foreign complications.
This must be avoided, hence our pol
cy must be vigorous.
“Jefferson was an expansionist,
otherwise he would not have favored
thf acquisition of Lousiana, with its
foreign population, which, in Jeffer
sen’s time, was quite as remote us
the Philippines. Iu this age of steam
and electricity, distance is no argu
ment against expansion.
“We spei d millions annually for
tnissonaries in foreign countries. Now
we have a chance to epuid this mon
ey in our own possessions and tnaxo
the people of our own lands good,
law-abiding < ilizens, who in time will
be loyal to our constitution and our
flag. Take Knglnnd for example. The
people of the little isle come pretty
near ownir g the universe Are notour
own people as intelligent, as power
fu. and us patriotic as the Hnglish
people? The United States is the
only country on earth superior to ti e
English. Why not illustrate to the
world Unit we are fully aide to co| e
with greater problems than we have
had occasion to in the past, and in
tin* future dominate any emergency?
“We have a population of eighty
millions of people. 1’ho country
teems with young men full of life, I
hope and ambition. Why not give
these young men a chance to develop
our newly acquired possessions and
build up u country rivalling in grand
eur and patriotism our own United
States?
“1 say by all means hold on to all
that rightfully belongs to us. If the
great country west of the Kooky
mountains were filled with wild Ind
ians at the present moment bow long
would it take us to suppress them
and muk • them respect our laws uud
our < nstitution? I tie same thing ap
plies to the Philippines aud uDy other
country that may full into our hunds
by the province of peace or war.
“It is an insult to tin American
people and to our tl.ig even to sug
gest that we abandon the people we
have released from bondage, or what
would be more disgraceful, that we
should offer to sell them to the high
est bidder. Bucli a proposition (daces
the American people in the same
category with the Chinese, who have
neither putnotism nor a foreign pol
icy, and are in consequence utilized
as a doormat by the powers of the
world. This is too great a question
to lie considered as a mere matter
of dollars and cents. Our people
want their rights protected; they will
pay for a standing army, a powerful
navy and the protection of our ilug
the world over. They have proved
their willingness to sacrifice their
blood for the honor of their country
ami their Ilug. And when the ques
tion is brought to an issue they will
arise as one man and demand expan
sion as a citizen’s jiglit,
■*1 think the sixteen to one ques
tion as outlined in the Chicago plat
form a decidedly dead issue. This
was fully demonstrated in the last
election. We did not embody the
sixteen to one question in our plat
form and the result is that we elect
every one ol cur congressmen.”
