OF century of our existence 70 stake that exstenc
rather than be deferred from pursuing national policy
by the threats Of two such governments
cuBA pesuRABLE TO THE uNSONP
Now, sir, 10 ths acquisition desirableY s IL matter
on which ought to risk much money $50 600 900
for the chance OF opening favorable negotiations
think il is. know Of portion OF the earth that is
% important 10 the United States OF America as
the island OF Cuba Us. We speak OF the trade OF
India; and some of the friends Of Pacific railroad
tell us that, when that road shall be construct
ed, IL will bring the trade OF Asia 10 our CONT
nent, and that shall get at least the profits Of the
transportation of the wealth Of the Indies. Sir, this
wealth is at our feet; but they know IT not What 10
day, the value of the Fast ndies9 Formerly those
nations who had monopoly OF its trade were great and
powerful and rich. WhyP they HAD then monopoly Of
silks and OF teas and more than all the Western Powers
were then rude and engaged in war The engine
Ind not then been invented Their labor cheap, be-
cause OF excessive population and those peculiar products
were important; and beyond ALL Asia had the tropical
products The commerce OF the East Indies then engaged
the great tonnage and gave TO the great wealth Of the
world. Then the monopoly of the spices was valuable
anu was q Of with the Dutch people, out Of
which they made untold millions At that time, the West
Indies were unknown; or il not unknown, those great
productions which raised in the East Indes not
cultivated there. Sugar and coffee and all the tropical
productions then confined 10 the East Indes ana the
possession Of that trade made nations rich and powerful
Now is different have idea that the trade in teas
and silks would justify making railroad two hundred
miles long II you could ill up the ocean and lay per-
fecty level railroad TO day from San Francisco u Shang
hal would be benefit in this view, because you eau
bring products from Shanghai TO New York for $40
ton when ireights are low and so at the
and satisfactorily demonstrated the other day, would
be impossible to carry freight over railroad to the Pa
cc. say, then, that such road cannot advance us IN
obtaining The control OF the trade IN those products but
we have all the wealth which ever came from the East
