2d Session. No. 304. “The Philippines are ours, not to exploit, but to develop, to civilize, to educate, to train in the science of self-government. This is the path of duty which we must follow or be recreant to a mighty trust committed to us. "The question is not will it pay, but rather will we do what is right, and it is for the people of this country to express their will on this great question."-McKINLEY.
