INTERESTS OF AGRICULTURE.
The considerate attention of the farmers
# the whole country is invited to the
york done through the state and agricul-
ural departments in the interest of agri-
culture. Our pork products had for ten
7ears been not only excluded by the great
continental nations of Europe, but their /
7alue discredited by the reasons given for |
hese exclusions. ALI previous efforts to l
'ecure the removal of these restrictions |
lad failed, but the wise legislation of the |
F'ifty-frst congress providing for the in |
spection and official certifcation of our
forbid the introduction into this country |
Of selected products of such countries as
should continue to refuse our inspected
meats, enabled us to open all the markets
of Europe to our products. The
result has been not only to sus-
tain prices, by providing new mar
kets for our surplus, but to add
so cents per 100 pounds to the market value
of inspected meats. Under the reciprocity
agreements special tavors have been Sc
cured for agricultural products and our ex-
ports of such products have been greatly
Increased with sure prospect of further
partment has maintained in Europe an
agent whose special duty it is to introduce
there the various preparations of corn as
articles of food and his work has been very
successful. The department has also sent
skilled veterinarians to Liverpool to ex-
anime, in connection with the British vet
erinarians, the live cattle from the United
States landed at that port and the result in
connection with the sanitary methods
adopted at home has been that we hear no
more about our cattle being in
fected with pleuro-pneumonia. A ju-
dicious system of quarantine lines
cattle with the Texas fever. The tariff
bill of 1890 gives better protection to farm
products subject to foreign competition
than they ever had before, and the home
markets for such products have been en-
larged by the establishment of new in
dustries and the development of others.
We may confidently submit to the in
telligent and candid judgment of the
American farmer, whether in any cor
responding period so much has been made
to promote his interests, and whether in q
continuance and extension of these
methods there is not better prospect of
democratic party to give our home market
to foreign manufacturers, and to
abandon the reciprocity policy, and,
better also than the radical and unit led
methods of relief proposed by other parties
which are soliciting his support.
have often expressed my surong con-
viction of the value of the Nicaragua ship
canal to our commerce and to our navy.
The project is not one of convenience, bit
of necessity. It is quite possible, believe.
if the United States will support the en-
terprise, to secure tho speedy completion
of the canal without taxing the treasury

influence in its management which is i'm

FOREIGN POLICY.
It has been the purpose of the admins
tration to make its foreign policy not {
matter of partisan politics, but of patriot
ism and national honor, and have very
great qualification in being able to stats
| that the democratic members OF the com
mittees of foreign affairs responded in
true American spirit. 1t have not hesitat
ed to consult freely with them abou
the most confidential and delicate af
obligation for needed cooperation
They did not regard patient but firm in
sistance upon American rights and upo1
immunity from insult and injury for oul
citizens and sailors in foreign ports as
policy of scitration and buster" The,
did not believe, as some others seem to be
lieve, that to be democrat one must TAX
the foreign side of every internationa
question If republican administration i

believe that tame submission to insul
and outrage by any nation at the hands Of
another can ever form the basis of lastin,
friendship-the necessary element of mu
tual respect will be wanting
The Chilian incident now 80 happily ant
honorably adjusted will, don't doubt
place our relations with that brave peopl
upon a more friendly basis than ever be
fore. This already appears in the agree
ment since negotiated by Mr.. Egan for tn
settlement by commission of the long IN
settled claims between the governments
The work of Mr.. Egsn has been highly ad
vantageous to the United States. The con
fdence which refused to withdraw from
him has been abundantly justified.
In our relations with the great European
powers the rights Of the United States an,
of our citizens have been insisted upol
with frmness. The strength of our cause
and not the strength of our adversary, ha
given tone to our correspondence. Tn
Samoan question and the Behring sea quea
ton, which came over from the proceed
ing administration, have been, the one set
tied and the other submitted t.
Never before, think, in a lik
period have SO many important treatie
and commercial agreements been conclud
ed and never before, am sure, have tn
honor and influence of national and com
mercial prestige of the United States bee
held in higher estimation in both hemie
pheres.
THE VETERANS.
The union soldiers and sailors are no,
veterans of time as we'll of war. The pa,
allels of age have approached close to tn
eitadels of life and the end, for each, of
brave and honorable struggle is not r.
