Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annexation of the Hawaiian Islands: Speech of Hon. John; W. Gaines, of Tennessee, in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, June 15, 1898
Mr. Speaker: It is admitted by the champions of annexation that if we acquire the Hawaiian Islands we must not only increase our Navy to protect us as we now are, but that we must further increase it to defend these islands. Of course, if our Navy is not already equal to the increasing needs of the Government, it must be made and kept so.
