***** Walter LaFeber : Anti-Imperialism in the United States
...Carnegie, the steel magnate, believed that taking the Philippines was one of the great historic mistakes in American history. And, in fact, Carnegie had the peculiarly American solution for taking the Philippines, what he suggested to McKinley was that he, Carnegie, would personally pay McKinley $20 million to buy the Philippines and then he'd turn them back to the Filipinos. McKinley turned this particular offer down, at which point Carnegie then turned to the anti-imperialists and began to finance the anti-imperialists. The anti-imperialists reached, I think, a peak of their influence in the early part of 1900.
