There is more money in it, more territory, more sovereignty, and other kinds of emolument, than there is in any other game that is played. The Blessings-of-Civilization Trust, wisely and cautiously administered, is a Daisy. The most of those People that Sit in Darkness have been furnished with more light than was good for them or profitable for us. And such darkness as is now left is really of but an indifferent quality, and not dark enough for the game. The People that Sit in Darkness are getting to be too scarce - too scarce and too shy. (New York: Anti-Imperialist League of New York, 1901).Įxtending the Blessings of Civilization to our Brother who Sits in Darkness has been a good trade and has paid well, on the whole and there is money in it yet, if carefully worked - but not enough, in my judgement, to make any considerable risk advisable.
