The HayPauncefote Treaty, now be

infamous proposition ever submitted 10
that body" said Representative DAILY Of

the Monroe Doctrine, which has been re-
spected and observed by all the sections Of
the world since il was proclaimed by
President Monroe. l am heartily IN favor
Of the building OF the Nicaragua Canal.
and l want the United States to construct
and own that great enterprise without ask
ing the consent Of any nation on earth.
The Idea that at this day in our history we
are to bCx TO England and give up every
| thing gained by the Monroe Doctrine Is
| preposterOus-
The American people viii not stand for
IT, England controls the entrance 10 the
Suez Canal. and 90 not recall that she
/ ever asked the consent Of the United
States or any other nation But it is now
said that we must abandon he principles
Of years and give up doctrine that has
been recognized and respected by the
world in order TO carry into execution
great enterprise demanded by the people.
England has never" said Mr. DAILY. re
garded the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty as a Sc
rious document. In fact. she has ignored
Il, but this Hay -PauncefOte ruse revives
the former instrument. and gives IL vital
I ity. The United States should 80 ahead.
( build and fort.fy the canal as we nave
right 10 do. the Clayton Bulwer Treaty
TO the contrary Notwithstanding
/ II the positions were reversed England
/ would not consult the wishes Of the United
States. The proposed canal is on this con-
I tinent. IL is an affair 10 be controlled hy
/ this Government aDd the Monroe Doctrine
which the Hay -PaUncefote Treaty seeks 10
nullify. gives us absolute jurisdiction. The
I people Will never consent TO England 20
I have any part IN the control OF the Me
/ aragua Canal"
/ In brief interview this morning Mr..
/ Kluttz OF North Carolina said that in his
I opinion the H2y-PaUncefOte Treaty ought
I ther that II ratified. the House ought not,
| ami WOulc not vote the appropriation for
/ building the Nicaragua Canal under its
/ provisions.
! Mr. RIuttz Is heartily in favor OF The
canal as a great outlet for Southern pro-
l auctions, Dotn AGRICULTURAL and m2EuIac-
/ tured. but in his opinion the canal. when
/ built, should be absolutely under the con-
4 troll OF this country. with full right TO
| fOrtify. protect. regulate, and control IL.
| we should have The absolute right TO
| exclude from its advantages the ships Of
| hostile nations in case Of war" he said
! otherwise, we VIII simply be putting up
/ she money 20 build the canal for the
| benefit Of foreign and possibly hostile ua-
/ tions, without the ability 10 protect il or
the adjacent waters. and in case OF war
! with any European power. We would be
/ simply furnishing IL with a shorter high
| way for reaching and attacking cur Pa
cihc and island possessions.
| The treaty is the worst diplomatic
| blunder in all our history. It practically
abrogates the Monroe Doctrine. aCknowl-
edges the deFunct Clayton BulWer Treaty.
and nulliies IL .etriotic action OF pTevi-
Gus Administrations. anS is generally IN
American, Undemocratic, and unrepub-
| lican."
Mr. Kluttz does not believe the Admin
| istration can force its passage.
