Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and, fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country.
We will not leave the destiny of the loyal millions the islands to the disloyal thousands who are in rebellion against the United States.
Sectionalism has disappeared.
The Republic has marched on and on, and its step has exalted freedom and humanity.
