was limited, as stated by Mr.. Webster,
TO cases IN which by reason of proximity
such acquisition would be dangerous to
our safety and the integrity of our in
situations.
Thlrd-That the true ground upon
which the Monroe doctriue was based
and upon which any similer position has
oeeD taken, rests for it, jus, flea ion up
on that which may be our interests and
our interests only; and that neither by
the Monroe doctIine or official declare
ton have we ever come uuder any pledge
TO any power Of estate on this continent
that binds US to act merely for protec-
ton against invasion or encroachments
by any other power.
Fourth-That when the case arises in
which European power proposes to
acquire territory by invasion or conquest
1t is then for US TO determine whether
our safety and integrity demands that
We shall resist such action by armed
force IL necessary.
tifth-That the executive Las pressed
The Monroe doctrine beyond what was
contemplated at the time of it's an
nouncement, and the resultant sequence
OF the position thus taken seems to be a
com mltai or this government to O pro-
tectOrate oyer Mexico and Central and
South American 5tates; that this would
be most unSise and dangerous and
would violate sound we'll esta blished
policy that We should avoid ell eptansII-
ing aliiaE ces with foreign powers wheth-
er they be European or American.
Sixth-That this action was prema-
ture, looking to the bis DRY Of the con-
troTersy, and inopportune, in view Of the
business and financial condition of the
country.
Seventh-Thet neither Congress- nor
the country can be nor has been COM
mltted by the action of the executive
department IN reference to the Venezue-
Ian boundary controversy as to the
course to be pursued until the time shall
have arrived fer a final determin alton.
1t Will then be our province TO adopt
such line of policy and to take such
action as may then be demanded by our
sense OF duty to the country Gpd by
due regard for it's honor and dignity,
the welfare and safety of our people and
the integrity OF our IFS buttons.

increased production vas only partially
true. 1t was from the United States, he
added, chiefly, that the increase was OBJ
tanned. Imports from the United States
were due to currency troubles and want
OF confidence arising therefrom, but, IN
his opinion, the troubles would not con-
tinue much longer and when these diff

out hope, they will be sooner or later,
this tide might turn the current into
the opposite direction and it might set
in With great rapidIty and force.
