The conduct of foreign affairs by the
present administration has been distin
! pushed by its lnefficiency and Its coward
! ice. Having Withdrawn from the Senate
all pending treaties effected by republican
administration for the removal Of foreign
burdens and restrictions upon our com.
merce and for its extension into better
markets, it has neither effected nor pro.
posed any Others III their stead. Profess
ing adherence to the Monroe doctrine, il
has seen with idle cOmplacency the extern
sion Of foreign influence IN Central
America. aud Of foreign trade everywhere
among our neIs shbors. It has refused to
charter, aanctinn or encourage any Amer
Nicaragua canal, a work OF vital import
ance to the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine, and of our national influence in
Central and South America, and neces.
sary for the development OF trade with
our Pacific territory, with South America
and with the islands aud further coasts Of
the Pacific Ocean. r.'5
