Mr. Schenck also ventured to reproach the Presden,
with inconsistency refusing oil improvements to the
United States whilst he attempting TO acquire the
right of way at the sthmus OF Tehuantepec in order that

undertake TO say, in the most emphatic TERMS that the
President does not think il competent for government
to appropriate cent TO any such canal

subject and avoids all nice distinction He denies the

power raise the means for improving their harbors and
rivers; and that such the practice as he proves by
multiplicity OF cases) for than thirty years after the
constitution went into operation
But the President further suggests, finally that if
any great work which the States may have heart can
not be accomplished by the levyng of duties on tonnage
then it is better and wiser to appeal to the sovereign
parties to the compact and obtain further powers as was

theory of the constitution.
In word regard this whole message as one of the
strongest evidences of the Presidents rmness his sa

sttution. five are not grossly deceived, it will make
deep impression upon the minds of the people.
