Trade with the
West Indies.

The West Indies. This is wise The
events of the last four years have shown
us that the West Indies and the isthmus
must in the future occupy far larger
place in our national policy than in the
past. This is proved by the negotiations
for the purchase of the Danish Islands,
the acquisition OF Porto Rico, the prepar-
alton for building an isthmian canal, and,
finally, by the changed relations which
these years have produced between us and
Cuba AS nation We have an especial
right to take honest pride in what we
have done for Cuba Our critics abroad
and at home have insisted that We never
intended to leave The island. But on the
10th of next month Cuba becomes a free
Republic, and VIC turn over to the island
ers the control of their own Government.
1t would be very difficult to find paral-
lei i'll the conduct of any other great
State that has occupied such position
as ours. We have kept our word and done
our duty, just as an honest individual in

South Carolina Governor AycOck of
North Carolina, Mayor Smyth OF Charles

In his address Mr.. Roosevelt sail:
1t is to ME peculiar privilege to speak
here in your beautiful city. My mothers
people were from Georgia; but before
they came to Georgia. before the Revo-
luton. in the days of colonial rule, they
dwelt for nearly a century in South Caro-
lima; and therefore can claim your State
as mine by inheritance. no less than by
the stronger and Lobler right which
makes each foot of American soil in a
sense the property Of all Americans.
Charleston is not only a typical South
crn city; it is also city whose history
teens with events which link themselves
to American history as whole. In the
early colonial Gays Charleston was the
outpost of our people against the Span
lard in the south. In the days of the
Revolution there occurred here some of
the events which vitality affected the out
come of the struggle for independence,
and which impressed themselves most
deeply rpOn the popular mind. 1t was
here that the tremendous, terrible drama
of the civil war opened.
With delicate and thoughtful courtesy
you originally asked me to come to this
exposition on the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln The invitation not only showed
fine generosity and manliness in you,
my hosts, but it also emphasized as hard
" anything else could have emphasized
how completely We are now united peo-
pie. The wounds left by the great civil
war, incomparably the greatest war of
modern times, have healed: and its mem
ories are now priceless heritages of honor
alike tc the North and to the South. The
devotion, the self-sacrihce, the steadfast
resolution and lofty daring, the high de-
votion to the right as each man saw it,
whether Northerner or Southerner-all
these qualities of the men and women of
the early sixties now shine luminous and
brilliant before our eyes, while

thought of the complex social and eco

our present industrial system. Our as
founding material prosperity. the sweep
and rush rather than the mere march of
our progressive material development,
have brought grave troubles in their
train. We cannot afford to blink these
troubles, any more than because of them
we can afford to accept as true the
gloomy forebodngs of the prophets of
evil. There are great problems before us.
They arc not insoluble, but they can be
solved only if We approach them in a
spirit OF resslute fearlessness, of COM

fair and equal justice to all men alike. We
are certain to fail if we adopt the policy
of the demagogue who raves against the
wealth which is simply the form of en-
bodied thrift. foresight and intelligence;
who would shut the door of opportunity
against those whose energy we should es

which tell for success. Just as little can

We can never be Indifferent to misgoy-

The mere fact that our administration in
the island has minimiZed the danger from
the dreadful scourge of yellow fever,
alike to Cuba and to ourselves, is suf-
cient to emphasize the community of i'll
terest between us. But there are other
interests which bind us together. Cubas
position makes it necessary that her po
iitical relations with us should differ
from her political relations with other
powers This fact has been formulated
by us and accepted by the Cubans in the
Platt amendments. II follows as cOrol-
larry that where the Cubans have thus
assumed a position of peculiar relation
ship to our political system they must
similarly stand in a peculiar relationship
to cur economic system.
We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba
toward us an attitude differing
politically from that she adopts toward
any other power; and in return. as
matter of right, We must give to Cuba d

course dictated by sound policy, by wise
and ar-sighted view of our own interest.
