They are invited to make investments. The work is ours, though they are welcome to invest in it. We do not ask them to supply the capital and do the work. It is an invitation, not a privilege; and States that are obliged, because their territory does not lie within the main field of modern enterprise and action, to grant concessions are...
Page 67 - This doctrine has nothing to do with the commercial relations of any American power, save that it in truth allows each of them to form such as it desires.
Page 95 - The day is not distant when we may formally require a meridian of partition through the ocean which separates the two hemispheres, on the hither side of which no European gun shall ever be heard...
Page 145 - I do not understand that because I do not want a negro woman for a slave, I must necessarily want her for a wife, My understanding is that I can just let her alone.
