TfesluenC AfUnur recommends Another
Appropriation in Aid of the Enter
prise.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The presi-
dent to day sent to the senate mes
sage suggesting the propriety of con-
gress appropriating $588,000 for the
purpose of making complete and
harmonious selection of exhibits in
behalf OF the government for the New
Orl ans exposition. 1t was referred
to the committee on appropriations.
The president says the Importance of
the purpose and benefits of the New
Orleans exhibition are continental in
their scope, standing at the threshold
OF the almost unopened markets of
Spanish and Portuguese America.
New Orleans is the natural gate
way to their trade and the exhibition
,ffers to the people of Mexico, Cen
raj and South America, adequate
knowledge of our farming nipple
ments, metal manufactures, cotton
and wooden goods, and like necessities
Of existence N respect to which these
countries are either deficient
o supplied to limited extent. The
breaking down of the barriers which
still separate the United States from
n republics of America whose pro-
AUCTIONS 81 entirety ID compliment of
our own, will aid greatly in removing
the disparity of commercial inter
course, under which less than ten per
cent. of our exports goes to American
countries.
trust congress will realize the urg-
ency of this recommendation, and
make it's appropriation imm ediately
vail;,ble, so the board may lose no
time in undertaking the extensive
preparation necessary to spread
more intimate knowledge of our gov
ernmental institutions and national
resources among the people of our
country and neighboring states, in
way to command the respect due it in
the family of nations.
