That the committes be increasedt 50 thut each state presout Lo ropresented by threo wewbers, ator Morgan Talks. Senator Morgan of Alabama, author of the Nicaregua canal bill, was accorded a hear ing and spoke at length on the advantages of the canul. Senator Morgan said: Con- s1dering our resources, our geographical and fluanciul relations, we could not fail to build this cenal. Ho spoke of the riches uud genius of this country and smd we are 1u- deed the grandest power in the world. The knowledge of that fact ought to fmpel us to o that work, Baraestuess, devotion, deter mination and zeal are aly tound in breasts like those hore assembled und ge and bri s like these and the willing b of the people hokuew who msko up the geuius and braius of this country would go out und undertake this great work. In 1546, before we hud any great hola on the Pacific, ex wo part of Mexico was our: statesmen ol the coun try aade a treaty with New Grenada, I'h might bave been considered an entangling forcign ulliance, but thu peovle of Awncrica do not consider any section of his, homi- sph re, from tho Atinuticocean to the Pacitic OceAn, 1orelzn country. nthat treaty it was provided that the people of the United States should have Lhe samo transit and pas- sugo across Panuma as the citizens of Pan bere should be no tolls or dues, de- murrage or oihierwise. That wus a very broad cone sulou 1o us—:he weaning of which was that the coast lno of the United States was extended weross the isthmus of Darien. Might it not happen as a resuit of tho build- ing of the Panamy caual by the French gov- ernmont that we should bave troublo with that government if it shoult find 1t its duty in the proteciion of its own citizeus o dew to the peoplo of the United iStates free transit across the isthinusi A Great Boon to Com Senator Morgan said the gusrantee of neatrality on either sige of tho isthmus was & great boon 10 commerce, Weo guaranteed also to preserve the peaco there. Wo undertook to do this bocause the isthmus, goographica.ly in its relations, 15 identiticd 80 closely with ihe United States, nod be- cause tho United States is jealous of 1ty control of the coast lines of this hemisphere, The aim of our great statesman hus always been to preserve the coast line for the beue- 1it of the people of the Uuited States Coming down to a later treaty, tiis time with Nicaragua, wo provide for a transit for our people, cqual rights with the people of Nicaragua, transit for cur armies and muni- 1008 Of war, with other provisions. We further speak Of A canai 1o be run turough Nicaragun, and to preservo our right to sead troops alon the line of travel to prote. only our people, but other peoplo whose peace may bo disturbed, or whoso property is threatened. Speaking of the Clayton-Bulwel Senator Morgan said provision had beén made that ueither the United States no Great Britain should disturb the sovereignty of Nicaragua when there by building fortifi- cations along the canal orin any other man- ner. But whoquestions the right of Pr dent Harrvison to send troops to Nie: under the earlier treaty, o zons and their property; carry troops 1o Nicaragua carvies with 1t the Fight 10 protect those troops, There is nothing in the Cluyton-Bulwer_treaty to pre. veat us from going down mto Nicaragua and building tho caual, Great Britain has never genied thatwe have the mghtand Great Britain never sleeps. The lion never nats s eye. Our Rights in the Tsthmus, Seuator Morgan roferred to tho view of (he senate on the bearing of the Claytou- Bulwer trealy toward the question of the control and building of tho cunal by the United States, The committeo felt that thero was nothing in an abs'ract view of the treaty, 10 stop our construction and control of thecanal, but we must be careful and live up 1o our obligations 10 Nicaragua in pro tecting her in her soverciznty and in presery ine ber peace, Wo cunnot afford 1o yi righv of free transit across Panama, Nicar augua, or elsewhiere ou this continent to any forcign government, and that was the point which the senator desired to wake pluin, ‘Phera could be ne doubt that Great Britain's Rurpose was to ultimately steal the great key of tho western hemisphere. He' aid not blame Great Britain, but be did not meun to be bliud or shut bis eyes to ber purpose. Senator Morgan dwelt at some length on the British policy as regards Great Britain’s purpose to contral, if possivle, at some day the passage through the Nicarazna, Senator Morgan spoko of the treaty that had been nogotiated between the United States and Niearagua during Arcthur's ad ministration, and which, though hayvine a largo wajority, did not secure the requinit two-thirds, that treaty was withdrawn by Mr. Clovolund, Siuicé then American citi- zeus have secured o concesslon from the Niearaguan government, and in that grant we have socured all that we could huve se- cured for the government itsolf. Wheu the grant wus made it wa- lutended that there stould boan Amorican canal, controlied by Awmericans, The Unitod States could not s. cure more than she may require ina com. pliauco with the grant mado to the Muritime Canal company, Convincing vs egon, whe horee. troat guu protect our eiti- and the right to Arguiments, Continuing, the seuator said if he could take tho members of congress and murch them insiglo filo alone the wharvos of New York and show them the commerce there, and from New York take thom to tne far vorthwest, and then bring them around by tho seabourd and march them in single tile aloug the wharves of New Orleans, he would make a 5110 \ger argument in favor of the canal thar than if he stood on tiptoe and tallsed 1 favor of it for the rest of his days. 1f these congressmen know veally what this Rreat country wus, and could foel the respou sibility that " rosted upon thom, they could not fail to furnish anotber mouth to the Mis- s1s8ini, Seuntor Morgau explained fully the eir- cumstauces under which the sciate com. mitteo had investizated tue project of building the cavnl.
