dalton for Biting Rebuke.

Senator Stewart: haS given 70 the press
the following open letter to President
Cleveland:
Mr.. President: When / last wrote
you did not suppose that I should be
called upon SO soon to renew my con-
CALCULATIONS for your conspicuous brave
ry in promoting the policy of the moth
er country. | did not then realize tia,
your benefcent policy extended beyond
the determination of obnoxious bimetal-
lists and the pestiferous farmers and la
borers who oppose your Sound money
and safe currency But it now appears
that your wise and patriotic statesman
ship is not confined to the Limits of a
sound British financial policy for the
people of the United States, but includes
your cordial co operation on the policy
of conquest and dominion for the moth
er country.
The joint success Of yourself and Lord
Kimberly in planting the British flag
and extending British rule over Nicara~
qua is admired and applauded by every
loyal subject of Queen Victoria, and
will secure for you the love and respect
of all true Englishman. Your great and
magnanimous nature will not be dis
turbed by the unreasonable complaints
of any of your own countrymen who con-
tinue to cling to the narrow and unrea-
sonable prejudices which the descend
ants of the rebels of 1776 still entertain
against that great and good government,
which is still willing to protect us, not
withstanding the ill-will and ingratitude
of your deluded ancestors. Your exalt-
ed position enables you to see the great
advantage of Gordon of British naval
stations guarding our exposed seaports
on the two oceans, and the great securi-
ty and commercial advantages the Mic
aragua canal will afford under British
Jurisdiction. Your clear vision spans
the continent and extends to the far off
islands of the Pacific, and you fully COM
prehend the complete protection that the
navy of Great Britain, with headquarters
at Honolulu, would be to the Pacific
coast. ..-s s,-.-s.
The people of the United States will
view with much satisfaction the prepare
tions which you and Lord Kimberly are
making to present the claims of the Brit
fish and American subjects who, in the
interest of the mother country, con-
splred to overthrow the republican gov
eminent of Hawaii. The fact that the
conspiratiors were unsuccessful aggra-
Yates the heads of the republic in main
tanning its constitutional government,
and furnishes you and Lord Kimberly
ample Justification for demanding i'm
possible reparation, to make an excuse
for planting the British flag and extend
ing British rule over the only remaining
outpost in the Pacific where military
establishment by an unfriendly power
would menace the commerce of the Unit
ed States. In carrying out this patriotic
project you will undoubtedly exercise
the same economy that you did in Mica
ragua, and avail yourself Of the kindness
of Great Britain to furnish the ships fol
the expedition which will furnish the
coveted prize. -. z. "
The object lesson of your broad and
comprehensive craftsmanship is already
instructive. When you have fairly Sc
cured the protection of England for ou1
extended seacoast on both oceans, and the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal al
the expense of the United States for the
benefit of Great Britain, your economy
will be appreciated. When the trouble
and expense created by the unjustifable
wars and contentious Of your predeces-
sors against our mother country are com
pared with your wise and conciliatory
policy, the ingratitude Of the American
people will shock the sensibility of ali
loyal subjects Of the British crown, and
they will fully appreciate the wisdom
and patriotism of your administration.
The union of interests which you have
secured between Great Britain and he1
only rebellious colonies shows the folly
of an expensive foreign policy in dealine
with the mother country, when all oul
material interests can be so well pro .ect
ed by her own generous imperial power
Although the policy Of rel ying on Bri
fish craftsmanship is not new, you hav,
enlarged, illustrated and carried into ct
feet that policy in such manner as t
make the American people realize thai
the sovereign power to coin money and
maintain a financial power Of our own i
