It was not however, the commercial advantages
to the United States which gave the Treaty TO Ha-
wall. They weighed cut little in the scale. Mr..
Blaine tells rs that political state considerations
were the controlling ones. The measure vas not
partisan, but a state measure. II was sustained
by both Republicans and Democrats, BY Judge
Thurman, the Democratic leader = the United
States Senate, as well as By Mr.. Blaine, by Mr..
Wood, as well as BY Mr.. Munroe, and whilst Il has
thus far given all to the United States and Hawaii
respectively, that either had reason to expect the
state considsrafions which gave It to us have lost
nothing Of their force As strategic position in
the possible case Of war they have lost nothing Of
their value. II their position in relation to the
United States Pacific Coast ever gave them any
value they have Il still.
God forbid that any sound Of strife, any note OF
war, should ever disturb the harmony which now
exists between the Great Republic and all otfer
nations, and especially the mother country, Brit
ain, on whose wide domain the sun never sets, and
the daughter whose imperial inheritance lies upon
three oceans. Both people one, Of one race, of
one language, and both have been the> great con-
SENATORS Of constitutional freedom, of civil and
religious liberty, the one under monarchial, and
the other under a republican form Of government.
only add that the United States, through its COM
merce and missionaries, first gave to the Hawaii
ans their letters, and schools, and churches, and
through these their status as an independent peo-
pie, whatever others have since done, and Il Is
much and praiseworthy,) and two-thirds of the pro
auctions seeking market in the United States,
are due to the enterprise Of her citizens and sons
who freely gave themselves and their money to
the cause Of the Union in the great rebellion which
threatened the life of the nation For these rea-
sons too, as well as others the people Of the United
States have felt special interest In this people as
their ward, and this feeling doubt, had its natu-
raj and legitimate influence in obtaining the Treaty.
which every friend Of both countries hopes to see
perpetuated. Yours truly. s. N. CASTLE.
