MONROE DOCTRINE.
ITS POLITICAL AND CONNER
ClAL SIGNIFICANCE.
The BuildinS Of the Nicaragua Canal
VIII Give to Trans Mississippi Gulf
Ports the Business OF Exporting the
PrOdus t. Of the Weat. -

Globe Democrat. st. Louis. Mo.
The reception of the Presidents mes
sage demonstrated that the American
people are unit on the Monroe doc
trine. Between nations no doctrine, no
principle. no action can be upheld ex-
cept by force. Twenty centuries OF
civilization have failed to establish the
golden rule as the basic principle OF
the acts of nations. Thirty days ago
English writer's characterized it as the
"nebulous Monroe Doctrine" To-day
that principle has an entity, an in
dividuality in the unwritten laws be-
tween governments.
A writer in the December number Of
the North American Review says: We
all know that the development and ex-
pansion of natiOnalities follow the
lines of least resistance and are gov
erned by inflexible natural laws. Equal
ly we'll known are the principles which
govern the redistribution OF trade GEN.
tiers resulting from the opening up OF
new channels OF commerce. The same
writer says when the Nicaragua Canal
is opened Europe will be brought to the
very doors of America.
The Monroe Doctrine assures the
Nicaragua Canal. The Nicaragua Canal
will build up Trans-Mississippi Gulf
ports. The total value Of the exports
of the United States of the United
States is $793 1872 $50. The transmits
sissippi furnishes of that amount $44S.-
643.727. This business will be done by
Gulf ports.
Great Britain is still suffering from
the DETECTION of commerce from the
Cape Route to the Suez Canal. Com
merce follows the line of least expense.
These incontrovertible arguments no
doubt decided the great banking house
of Alexander Brown & Sons to under
take the work of developing the natural
harbor of Aransas Pass, Texas. Al
ready they have so nearly completed
the work that a festival of rejoicing on
the OCCdSlOl VI INC I1OheSccNcAo Ia
cursion, February 18th is being pre-
pared. The railroad fare for the round
trip from any point in the west is only
$500 more than the fare one way. A
steamship ride through the harbor out
into the Gulf, Green Turtle and Can
yass Back Duck Barbecue will be given
to the excursiOnists. Everybody is in
vited to be present and look over the
new town Of Arkansas Pass Whose
motto is Here Everybody Shall Make
Money! and the rich and cheap lands
surrounding that port.

LONDON. Jan. a0.-The New York
correspondent of the Times says: The

goism gone daft. and denounces
the resolution (of the foreign re-
lations committee), as uncalled for as
borrowing and inviting trouble. as
based upon false pretense, as dan
gerous, and calls upon the common
sense and real patriotism of the peo-
pie to make themselves felt at Wash
ington, but Washington, at the pres
ent moment, seems to be living life
