We are Mt peace with the world, at
peace upon Il sound basis, with no I'M
settled questions of sufficient naSni-
tude to cmbarrasS us. Tho United States
has no cause and no desire to engage in
conflict with any power, and we may
rest assured in the confidence that no
power desires to attack the United
States. With tho nations of the West
crn hemisphere we should cui.
tivate closer relations, and
and advancement should invite them

the future all international troubles

by impartial arbitration, not by arms.

The effect even Of suggesting

sion south of the Rio Grandc. We seek

extend our commerce and in an especial
degree with our friends and neighbOrs
on this continent. We have not i'm
proved our relations with Spansh-Amer-
lea as wisely and as persiStcntly as we
might have done. For more than gen
GRAFTON the sympathy of those countries
has been allowed to drift away
from us. We should now make every ct-
fort to gain their friendship. Oar trade
with them is already large During the
last year our exchanges in the Western
! hemisphere amounted to $3j0,OW,c0D,
nearly Onc-fOurth OF our entire foreign
commerce. To those who may be dis
| posed TO underratc the value OF our trade
with the countries of North and South
America, it may be well to state their
population is nearly 50WO,OOO, and that
in proportion to the aggregate numbers,
we import nearly double as much from
them as we do from Europe, but the re-
suit of the whole American trade is in
high degree unsatisfactory. The inn
ports during the past year exceeded
SD, 100000 while the exports were less
than $125 900, showing balance
against us of moro than $l00,UO,0JO, but
the money does not 20 to Spanish
America. We send large sums to
Europe in coin or its equivalent
to pay European manufacturers
