continental nations of Europe. Int tbai,
value dlscredited 10y the reasons given for
this exclusion. All previous efforts to
secure the removal of these restrictions
mad tailed, but the wise legislation Of the
flfty.hrst Congress, providing for the in
specuon and official certitication of orr
meats ana giving to the President power
TO forbld the Introduction into this coun-
try OF selected products of such countries
as should continue to refuse orr insnected
meats, enabled us to open all the markets
OF Europe to our products The result
has been not only to sustain prices bv
providing new markets for our surplus.
but to add fifty cents per hundred pounds
to the market value of the inspected
meats. Under the reciprocity agreements
special favors have been secured for agri-
cultural products and our reports of such
products have been greatly increased with
a sure prospect of a further and rapid in
crease. The agricultural department 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 success
full. The department has also sent skill
ed veterinarians to Liverpool to examine,
i'll connection with the British veterina-
rians, the live cattle from the United
L,
in connection with the sanitary methods
adopted at home, has been that we hear
no more about our cattle being infected
with pleulo-pneumonia A iudcious sys-
| TEN of quarantine lines has prevented the
| infection OF Northern cattle with Texas
fever. The tariff bin of 1890 gives better
protection to farm products subject to
foreign competition than there ever had
been before and the home markets for
such products have been enlarged by the
establishment of new industries and the
development of others.
We may confidently submit to the intel
ligent and candid judgment of the Amer-
can farmer whether i'll amy correspond
ing period SO much has been done to pro
mote his interests, and whether in a con-
tlnuance and extension of these methods
there is not a better prospect of food to
him than in the invitation of the Demo-
cratic party to give our home market to
foreign manufacturers and to abandon the
reciprocity policy; and better also titan
the radical and untried methods of relief
proposed by other parties which are So
Letting his support.
TIE CANAL A NECESSITY.
| have often expressed my strong con-
| Viction OF the value of the Nicaragua Ship
Canal to our commerce and to our navy.
The project is not one OF convenience, but
OF necessity. 1t is quite possible, | be-
lieve, if the United States will support the
enterprise, to secure the speedy compile
ton of the canal without taxing the
| Treasury for any direct contributions and
| at the same time to secure to the United
States that influence in its management
which is Imperative.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
1t has been the purpose OF the Admins
tration 10 make its foreign policy not a
matter Of partisan politics, but OF patriot
ism and national honor: and | have very
great qualification in being able to state
that the Democratic members of the COM
mittees of Foreign Affairs responded in a
true American spirit. | have not hesitat-
ed to consult freely with them about the
most confidential and delicate affairs. and
frankly confess my obligation for need
ed cooperation.
They did not regard a patient but firm
insistence upon American rights and upon
immunity from insult and injury for our
citizens and sailors in foreign ports as a
policy of ''imitation and Aiuster. They
did not believe as some others seem to
/ believe, that to he Democrat one must
