she will gladly make) jointly TO protect and
keep open the transit route, that act will in
volve guarantee on our part that it shall be
kept free from such molestation as we'll as an
estoppel from all future embarrassment by Costa
RIGA land England in the back ground) con-
corning the transit route. To cali in England
as party to such treaty, would BE utterly to
defeat its object; as is proved by the result of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty, the most unfortu-
nate and deservedly unpopular convention this
Government has yet entered into.
We are against the formation of treaty with
Nicaragua that shall identify this Government
with the speculations of any steamship COM
pany, or any other set of American spectators.
If such people choose to trust Nicaragua, let
them do so at their own risk the arrangement
of their affairs with that Government being
their business solely-not that of the United
States. Yet it is surely the duty of this Gov
ornment, lift can obtain a controlling influence
over the future of the Nicaraguan transit route
through the present exigencies of Nicaragua's
affairs with other Governments, which will fairly
enttlc 1t to keep open that highway for the
free use of all Americans travelling it under
ragua with any American company with which
she may choose to contract-to do so with as
little delay as possible. 1t matters nothing to
the American public who of our fellow citi-
zens run their ships upon the route, pro-
vided it be kept always open and safe for
the use of all our cOuntrymen. That is the
end to be achieved by this Government and
we recognize and fully appreciate the wisdom
of the course of the present Administration in
steadily refusing to identify itself with the
speculations and fortunes of any of them. If
it will bat strike for such treaty with Mica
ragua as we explain above while the iron is
hot, and leave her to deal alone with the rival
American claimants for the use of the transit,
all that is desirable for the country in this con-
nection will be achieved, and some good will be
extracted from what has transpired in Mica
ragua during the past two years.
