These laws will give free play to industrial enterprise, and the commercial development which will surely follow will afford to the people of the islands the best proofs of The sincerity of our desire aid them.” ‘phe construction ef a Pacific cable is either that the government le to connect Hawali and or that an arrangement hich the advantages ac- cruing from a government cable may be secured to the government by contract with a private cable company. This he deems necessary for both commercial, political and military considerations. The Isthmian Canal. He calls attention e need of an isthmian canal, and says “Its importance to the nation Is by no means limited merely to its material et- fects upon our business prosperity, and yet with & view to these effects alone it would be to the last degree important for us immediately to begin it. While its beneficial effects would perhaps be most marked upon the Pacific coast and the gulf and south Atlantic states, it would also greatly benefit other sections, It ts emphatically a work which It ls for the interest of the entire country to begin and complete as soon as possible; it is one of those great works which only a great nation can undertake with pros- pects of success and whieh when done are not only permanent assets in the na- tion’s material interests, but standing monuments to its constructive ability Of the new. treaty recently concluded with England he says: “I am glad to be able to announce to you that our negotla- tions on this subject with Great Britain, conducted on both sides in a spirit of friendliness and mutual! good will and re- spect, have resulted in my being uble to luy before the senate a treaty which if ratified will enable us to begin prepsrations for an isthmian canal at any time and which guarantees to this nation every right that it has ever asked in connection with the canal. In this treaty the old ¢ Bulwer treaty, so long rec uate to supply the ba tlon and maintenance o merican ship canal, is abrogated My provides that the United alone shall do the work of b assume the responsibility of safegua the canal and shall ulate its neutral use by all nations on terms of equality vithout the guarantee or interference of any outside nation from any quar- ter. The sisned treaty will at once e Ta netore ie ate amt tap proved the congress cun then proceed to give effect to the advantages it secures us by providing for the building of the canal.” The Monroe Doctrine. The president sets torth the objects of the Monroe doctrine, and the spirit. in which it has been received by other countries, and in connection with it says this nation has not the slightest desire to acquire any territory at the expense of any of our ne!ghbors, and c'tes our attl- tude toward Cuba as a gu nice of our good faith, He s alsa that “this doctrine has nothing to do with the com- mercial relations 0! any Amer'cun power save that it ‘n truth we each of them to form such as it « do not ask for any ¢ s treaty with any other / He _ says of this: for the gene taft opart s, they should be filled details m the line, the me so Getailed re ng after awhile to their line duties.
