marks the future tone of the national
policy, another element in concord
of the world will have been secured"
The Daily News says: "Gold had
a more decisive influence on the late
election than on any that has gone
before. The rich on both sides viz

ton by liberal donations to cam
paign funds. 1t is a form Of the
purchase system which BODIES no
good to the States, and shows that
civil service reform must begin at
the very apex of the pyramid. Presi-
dent Harrison's inaugural address is
remarkable for It's numerous foreign
illusions. The Union may refuse
to grow in territory, but cannot refuse
to grow in interests. The creation
Of a navy is evidently due to other
considerations than the necessity for
reducing the surplus. The world
may soon have to reckon with a new
naval power. There are more dis
quoting signs for those who care to
find them in the curious interchange
Of views on commercial union be-
tween Canada and America than in
the fisheries question"
The Times doubts whether Presi-
dent Harrison's proposed new depar
tuTe relative to naturalization laws
would be advantageous either for
America or for the rest of the world.
Blaine's foreign policy, it says, ap-
pears prominently in the address.
The general assertion regarding
coaling stations and harbors is prob
ably intended to cover both Samoa
and. the Canadian fisheries. In the
department of finance the Times
thinks President Harrison's views
are not very clear.
The Daily Telegraph says: "The
fact that Mr.. Harrison is so well dis
posed to deal with foreign affairs in
q calm and equitable spirit will be
remarked with satisfaction"
The Standard says: "The mes
sage on the whole is disappointing.
1t was certainly not written to please
'Anglo-Saxons on this side of the
Atlantic"
All the Unionist dailies make
point of Harrison's references to law
and order as a lesson to England Oh
the Irish question.
The National Gazette Of Berlin
says regarding Harrison's inaugural:
There is no reason to doubt the
Presidents pacific principles or the
sincerity of his opinion regarding
the peaceful adjustment of interna-
tional difficulties. Although he re-
commends the strengthening of the
navy, his tone toward foreign coun-
tries proclaims the beginning Of a
new era IN American development
and a display of more assertive pol
icy by the United States"
The TagebIatt says: The address
shows an arrogant spirit, and does
not display a particularly friendly
feeling toward other powers Vos-
sische Zeitung says: "The friends
of America hoped for more friendly
disposition from Harrison than from
Cleveland The message hardly
that hope"
lie Temps of Paris. commenting
on the inaugural address Of Harri-
son, calls attention to the traditional
systematic abstention of America
from a foreign policy, while pro
claiming the duty of the country to
protect her citizens wherever they
are established. lie Temps sees in
this the logical outcome of the Mon
roe doctrine, saying Harrison is
ready to re-affirm it.
La Liberte does not see how the
Monroe doctrine applies to the case
Of the Panama Canal, as no power
ever thought of establishing author
ity over it.
The Figaro published only pas
sages of the address, and says in re-
ference TO European intervention in
affairs, that his utterances |
prove Harrison resolute partisan of |
.he Monroe doctrine.
