adjudged guilty Of actual PARTICIPATION

COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
This government also insisted that a
special American commission should
visit the provinces where the first dis
turDances occurred for the purpose Of
/ investigation. This latter commission,
formed after much opposition, has gone
overland from Ten Tsin. accompanied
by suitable Chinese escort and by its
demonstration Of the readiness and abil-

TRADE WITH GERMANY

Our relations with the states of the
German empire, are in some aspects
typical of a condition of things else.
where found in a country whose pro-
ductiOns and trade are similar to our
own. The close rivalries of competing
industries, the influence of the delusive
doctrine that the internal DEVELOPMENT
Of a nation is promoted and its wealth
increased by policy, in undertaking to
reserve its home markets for the eX-
elusive use Of its own producers, neces-
sarily ObstructS their sales in foreign
markets and prevents free access to the
products of the world; the desire to
retain trade in time-worn ruts regard
less of the memorable laws of new
needs and changed conditions Of de-
mand and supply, and our own hating
hardness in inviting free exchange
of commodities and by this means i'm
periling our footing in the external
markets naturally open to us, have
created situation somewhat injurious
to American export interests, not only
in Germany, where they are. perhaps,
most noticeable, but in adjacent coun-
tries.
PRESCRIPTION OF INSURANCE.
The exports affected are largely
American cattle and other food pro
ducts. The reason assigned for unfav-
orable discrimination being that their
consumption is deletiorus TO the pub
lie health. This is all the more irrrita-
ton in view of the fact that no Euro
pean state is as jealous Of the excel
lence and whOlesomeness Of its export
ed food supplies as the United States
nor so easily able on account of inner
ent sOundness to guarantee those quail
tiles. Nor are these difficulties confin-
ed TO our food products designed for ex-
portatiOn. Our great insurance COM
panies, for example, having built up a
vast business abroad and invested a
large share Of their gains in foreign
countries in compliance with the local
| regulations then existing, now find
themselves within a narrowing circle Of
! onerOus and unforeseen conditions and
are confronted by the necessity Of re-
tirement from a field they made prof.
table, if indeed they are not Summarily
| expelled as some Of them have
lately been from Prussia. Il
is not TO be forgotten thar
international trade cannot be one-sided.
Its currents are alternating and its
movements should be honestly recipro-
cal Without this it almost necessarily
degenerates into a devise to gain advan-
tage or a cOntrivance to secure bene-
fits with only the semblance Of a re-
turn. In our dealings with other ma
tons We ought to be open handed and
| scrupulously fair
SHOULD WE RETALIATE.
This should be our policy as a pro-
ducing nation, and it plainly becomes
US, a people who love generosity and
/ the moral aspect Of national good faith
and reciprocal forbearance. These con-
sideratons should not, however. con-
strain US TO submit to unfair discrim-
nation nor TO silently acquesee in vex-

AS TO SAMOA.

In my last two annual messages 1
called the attention of the congress to
the position occupied as one Of the par
ties to treaty or agreement by which
We became jointly bound with England
and Germany to so interfere with the
government and control of Same as in
effect to assume the management of
its affairs. On the 9th day Of May 1898
| transmitted to the senate a special
message with accompanying document
giving information of the subject and
emphasizing the opinion l have at all
times entertained that our situation in
this matter was inconsistent with the
mission and traditions Of our govern
ment; in violation Of the principles we
profess; and in all phases mischievous
and vexatious..
l again press this subject upon the
attention Of the congress and ask for
such legislative action or expression
as will lead the way to our relief from
Obligations both irksOme and unnatur-
al
