AMERICA’S FIRM POLICY. | The Principles Involved in the Venezu- | elan Dispute Declared of the | Gravest National Import- ance. Washington, Dec. 17.—Soon after both Houses of Congress met to day, the President sent, by Executive Clerk Pruden. the expected message in regard to the British Venezuelan complication. It was at once read in both Houses, as follows: To the Congress: In my annual message, addressed to the Congress on the 3d inst., I called attention to the pending boundary controversy between Great Britain and the Re- public of Venezuela, and recited the substance of a representation made by this goyernment to Her Britanic Majesty's government suggesting reasons why such dispute should be submitted to arbitration for settle- ment and inquiring whether it would be so submitted. with the dispatch to which it isa reply, is hereto appended. Such reply is embodied in two communications addressed by the one of these communications is de- voted exclusively to observations upon the Monroe doctrine and claims that in the present instance a new and strange extension and de velopment of this doctrine is insist ed on by the United States, that the reasons justifying an appeal to the doctrine enunciated by President Monroe are generally inapplicable “to the state of things in whieh we live at the present day” and especial. ly inapplicable to a controversy in volving the boundary line between Great Britain and Venezuela. Louis te capture the demoeratic na- tional convention. Having secured the republicanJconvention St. Louis will be in better shape to entertain the mighty hosts that will attend the democratic convention than any city in the union. Notwithstanding Speaker Reed's advise to his congressmen to do nothing at this term, bills have been introduced in the Heuse calling for an expenditure of $3,550,000 for public buildings. The senate also aske for $5,500,000 for the same purpose. A Jewish fair in New York City, cleared $70,000 for charity in a sin- gle night. The Prussian Jew hater who has been lecturing in the east against these people should make a note of this to take back with him THE MONROER DOCTRINE UPHELD. Without attempting extended ar- guments in reply to these positions, it may not be amiss to suggest that the doctrine upon which we stand is strong and sound, because its en- forcement is important to our peace and safety asa nation and is essen- tial to the integrity of our free institutions and the tranquil mainte nance of our distinctive form of government. It was intended to apply to cvery stage of our national life and cannot become obsolete while our republic endures. If the balance of power is justly a cause for jealous anxiety among the gov ernments of the old world and a subject for our absolute non inter ference, none the less is an observ ance of the Monroe doctrine of yital concern to our people and their governmont. Assuming, therefore, that we may properly insist upon this doctrine without regard to “the state of of that code of law can find to be right and yalid CONCESSIONS MADE BY ENGLAND, The Monroe doctrine finds its ree ognition in those principles of inter national law which are based upon the theory that every nation shall | have its rights p: ected and i t claims enforced. Of course tl ernment is entirely confiden under the sanction of the doctrine we have clear rights and undoubted claims. Nor isthis ignored in British reply. The prime minister, doctrine is not applicable to present conditions, states: ‘‘Indeclaring that the Uuited States would resist any such enterprise if it was contemplat- ed. President Monroe adopted a policy which received the entir pathy of the English govern that date.’ He further d ares: “Though the language of President Monroe is directed to the attainment of objects which most Englishmen would agree to be salutary, it is im- possible to admit that they have been inscribed by any adequate authority in the code of international law.” Again he says: ‘‘They (Her Majesty's government) finally concur with the view which President Monroe appar- ently entertained, tnat any disturb- ance of the existing territorial dis- tribution in the hemisphere by any fresh acquisitions on the part of any Eurcpean state, would be a highly inexpedient change.” ENGLAND DECLINES ARBITRATION. In the belief that the doctrine for which we contend was clear and def- inite, that it was founded upon sub- tions and to the state of the world’s progress, and that it was directly re- lated to the pending controversy and without any convictionas to the final merits of the dispute, but anxious to learn in a satisfactory and conclusive nent without right, « merely sought possession of territory fairly included within her lines of ownership, this government propos- ed to the government of Great Brit- ian a resortto arbitration as the proper means of settling the question to the end that a vexatious boundary dispute between the two contestants might be determined and our exact standing and relation in respect to the controversy might be made clear. It will be seen from the correspond- ence herewith submitted that this proposition has been declined by the British government upon grounds, which, under the circumstances seem | 2 to me to be far more satisfactory. It is deeply disappointing that such an|§ appeal actuated by the most friendly feelings toward both nations direetly concerned addressed to the sense of justice and to the magnanimity of one of the great pewers of the world and touching its relations to one comparatively weak and small should have produced no better results. The course to be pursued by this government in view of the present eondition does not appear to admit of serious doubt. Having labored faithfully for many years to induce Great Britian to submit to this dis- pute to impartial arbitration, and Hering been now finally apprised of her refusal to do so, nothing remains but to accept the situation, to recog- nize its plain requirements and deal with it accordingly. BOUNDARY INQUIRY AND FIRMNESS. Great Britian’s present proposition has never thus far been regarded as admissible by Venezuela, though any adjustment of the boundary which that country may deem for her ad- vantage and may enter into for her own free will cannot, of course, be objected to by the United States. Assuming, however, that the attitude of Venezuela will remain unchanged, the dispute has reached such a stage | wo present claims which the justice | the | while not admitting that the Monroe | Beer or Clothing? cessive profits of the brewers.

If one railroad in the country sells toa private corpora- tion for $60,000,000, how long would it take the populist party, provided they had the machinery of govern- ment, to print money enough to buy the others, to say nothing of the telegraph poles and express wagons.

President Cleveland has returned | to Washington from his hunting application may not be invoked in the present controversy. If a Euro- pean power, by an extension of its boundaries, takes possession of the territory of one of our neighboring republics against its will and in derogation of its rights, it is difficult to see why, to that extent, such European power does not thereby attempt to extend its system of gov ernment to that portion of this con- tinent which is thus taken. This is the precise action which President Monroe declared to be ‘dangerous embody any principle of internation al law which “is founded on ihe gen- eral consent of nations,” and that “no statesman, however eminent, and no nation, however powerful, are competent to insert into the code of international law a novel principle which was never recognized before, and which bas not since been accept ed by the government of any other country.” Practically the principle for which we contend has peculiar, if not exclusive, relation to the Unit ed States. It may not have been {admitted in so many words to the code of international law, but since, in international counsels every na for its justification what is the true divisional line between the republic of Venezuela and British Guiana. The inquiry to that end should of course be conducted carefully and judicially, and due weight should be given to all available evidence, rec- ords and facts in support of theclaim of both parties. In ordering that such an examina- tion should be prosecuted in a thor- ough and satisfactory manner, I sug- gest that congress make adequate appropriation for the expenses of a commission to be appointed by the executive, who shall make the neces- sary investigation and report upon NO SUPINE SUBMISSION TO WRONG. In making these commendations, I am fully alive to the responsibility incurred and keenly realize all the consequence that may follow. Iam nevertheless firm in my conviction that whileitis a grievous thing to contemplate the two great English speaking peoples of the world as being otherwise than friendly com- petitors in the onward march of civ- ilization and strenuous and worthy rivals in all the arts of peace, there isnocalamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and i msequent loss of nationa -respect and honor, beneath which is shielded and de- | fended a people's safety and great- the wants of every member of the family, not only giving all the news but also a great variety of interesting and instructive reading matter of all kinds.
