I'VE hereby adopt the declaration of

Then the following resolution was in
troduced by Col Julian S. Carr, and on
motion of Mr.. Dortch was adopted
Whereas, 1t is plain that the construc
ton of the Nicaragua canal would prove
of incalculable advantage TO all parts of
our country; that it would revOlutiOniZe
the worlds commerce in favor Of the
United States that it would enlarge our
markets and open to our merchants and
manufacturers the trade of countries
having aD aggregate population of 800,
100000 by shortening the distance OF
shipment about 10000 miles; that II
would inaugurate a new era of industrial,
commercial and agricultural prosperity,
and by uniting in closer business rela-
tions the north and the south, the east
and the west, would help to destroy all
tendencies to sectionalism.
And, whereas, it is free from difficulties
of diplomatic, political or physical
character, and only needs the financial
support of the government and the peo-
ple of the United States to secure it's early
completion
Resolved, therefore, That the demo
Gratis of North Carolina demand the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal by
American capital and under American
control. To that end it should be placed
under the protection of the government
of the United States, and we recommend
that every democratic representative in
congress and the democratic national ad
ministration be advised by all democratic
conventions of the wishes and interests
of the people, and urged to adopt the
most appropriate measure to accomplish
this purpose.
We hereby ask our democratic brethren
in every southern and in every northern
and western state to join with the dem
| ocracy of North Carolina in unanimous
and unmistakable demand upon the gen.
eral government for the construction
maintenance and protection of the Amer
| lean Inter.Ocean canal, as alike necessary
to the military defense and to the indus
tries and commerce Of the United States
In the speedy consumatiOn OF this vast
national enterprise, in strict harmony
| irit nd 10
stitutional principles of the democratic
party, looking to the welfare of the whole
country and of all classes, the interest oil
northern and western states are only less
than those of the cotton states. 1t il
proper that the party, which acquired
Louisiana, California and Florida, should
unite all American acquisitions and al
the American states be an American
waterway securing forever the union
defense and prosperity of the whole.
At this point the Hon. Chauncey F
Black was introduced by President Win
