not have objected if the Senator from Missouri
had not spoken so long on this subject that

Ito the country to raise this question OF order
The PRESIDENT The Chair is under the
impression that it is not in order for the Senator
from Missouri to take so wide range of debate,
and to discuss treaties which were signed and
disposed of years ago, on mere question OF
printing a document for the use OF the Ser at.

the enormous abuse which has been practised
upon us, in consequence OF this practce OF buy

That is what am doing, sir. have right TO
illustrate this abuse by bringing to the attention.
Of the Senate the facts which history and our
experience gives me, and which may bear upon
the question under consideration, and show the
impolicy of such purchases.

Paul the First res oIved to abolish the com any in

resolution would have been certainly carried into
effect but for the nterpostion Of M. de Resanof,
who was afterwards sent to Japan as ambassador.
He had married the daughter OF Chiikpf, who
had brought him in dowry very great number
of the bills Of the company the value depended
upon the gains or losses Of trade. By his know-
edge and influence he happened to render the En-
peror so favorable to the company, that he re-
jected all the represent which were addressed
to him against it, confirmed it formally in 1893,
and granted to 1t great privileges"
That is the way, sir, that this 54 40 move

of war with Great Britain, to which we had
been led by false and fraudulent book, which
we had purchased for our instruction. 1t was

For this, Mr. GREENHow, the Senate, the
country, and all posterity cannot be sufficiently
grateful. For henceforth, when pratting child
hood, lispng infancy, or inquisitive youth shall
ask, .su..s.s,
r"Why did we nearly have war with Great
Britain about "a. 4O?" Thanks to Bentonian
research, the answer will be ready * >
Because Resanof married the daughter Of
ChilikoiT!--or rather, because Chilikoff married
his daughter to Resanoff."
