SPEECH OF CARL SCHURZ. AT THE CITIZENS' UNION MEETING IN NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 3, 1898.

[New York: 1898]. Folio Broadside, 12-1/2" x 17", printed in five columns. "With compliments of C. Schurz" written in ink at top margin. Some wear in the third column affecting several letters. Else Very Good.

The Wisconsin German-American, whose advocacy had been important in securing German immigrants to the Republican Party before the Civil War, opposes Theodore Roosevelt's advocacy of American Imperialism. "The annexation policy will bring into our political system millions of Spaniards, creoles, negroes, Malays, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Tagals and savage tribes whose names we have yet to learn..."
America's inability to deal with different races has been demonstrated all too well: Indians, "by killing them and robbing them of their property;" Negroes, "by systematically stripping them of their political rights in one state after another and by killing untold numbers of them by the barbarity of lynch law."
