THE SAN DOMINGO SCHEME.

| The SAN DOMlNGO SChEME.
The movement for the anneXa'
| ton of Hawaii, occurring just al
/ the time when Spain is getting
nervous over the acquisition of hall
a million acres of San DOMINICAN
territory by American capitalists
reminds the people of these United
States of the movement made dur
ing Grants presidency for the ,pur-
chase of that island, and the bitter
disappointment that it was to him
not to have his wishes acceded to.
1t was from no insane desire to ac-
Quire territory outside that Grant
urged the purchase of San DOmin-
go, but because his military genius
understood the vast importance
that island was to the United
States as the gateway of the
Gulf of Mexico. Though lying
almost within the grasp of the I'm
tied States the grip that Great
Britain has on the Bahamas and
along the Windward Isles to Trim
idad puts it in her power to close
the Gulf against us in the event
she should so desire. Unpleasant
as is this condition of things it
will be infinitely more so when
the Nicaragua canal is built and
the commerce of this vast center
of the continent is poured through
the Gulf of Mexico to the South
Americas and our western sea-
board. To offset this nothing could
be so effective as our possession of
San Domingo, which is literally
the key to the Gulf of Mexico.
With that Island in our possession
we would be masters of the situa-
ton, absolutely free from any dam
ger of being cOoped up at
our own do Ors by the outlet to
the Gulf being in the hands of a
foreign power. If it is advisable
for us to acquire Hawaii as a half.
way port to the Orient, is it not
doubly important that we acquire
possession of the gateway through
which all our Gulf commerce must
pass to the south and through the
interOcean canal into the Pacific?
No mere sentiment should stand
in the way of our acquiring outside
territory when such territory is
necessary to protect Ms from the
fleets of a foreign power, which has
laid its hand on our very means of
egress to the open ocean and can
close our own waters to our own
ships at will. There might be
very serious objections to the ac-
QUESTION Of either Hawaii or San
Domingo as a mere speculation,
but to their acquisition as neces-
Sity Of our commerce, or to the
preservation of an open passage
for our own ships from home
waters to the open sea, there can
be no valid opposition.

lating tho Norton forReries. could not claim

itself painfully apparent in Paris trade. the
