Uctu biOuknl NV O kfoaAAS VI thiNtShNy and practical benefit never before known. The Oleomargarine Act of May 9th 1902. now sustained in the Supreme Court. and the Act of July list. 1902, 10 prevent the false brand ing of food,-protect farmers against farmers against fraudulent limitations. The Act of February 2nd. 1903. en- ables the Secretary of Agriculture to prevent the spread of contagious dis eases of live stock. Rigid inspection has protected our cattle against in- lection from abroad. and has estab- lished the highest credit for our meat products in the markets of the world. The earth has been searched for weapons with which to fight the ene- mics that destroy the growing crops
 An insect brought from near the Great Wall of China has checked the San Jose scale which was destroying our orchards; a parasitic fly brought from South Africa is extirminating the black scale in the lemon and orange groves of California; and an ant from Guatemala is about offering battle to the Boil weevil Rraod science has been brought to the aid of limited ex- per,ence Study of the relations be- tween plant life and climate and soil has been followed. by the introduction of special crops suited to our varied conditions. The introduction of just the right kind of seed has enabled the Gulf States to increase our rice crop from 115.000,000 pounds in 1898 to
 400 .0000. 600 pounds in 1903. and to supply the entire American demand. with surplus for export. The right kind of sugar beet has in -reased cur annual production If beei sugar hy over 200.000 tons. Seei brought from countries of li.t'e rain.all is llo- ducing millions of busl ,ls of grain 0n lands which a few yea ago were deemed a hopeless part of the arid belt.
 The systematic coi'-ciiOn ana put- lication of irformIt.Cn regarding the magnitude and condi .;"rs of our crops, Is mitigating the inJn-T done by spec ulation 10 the farme.:'s market
 To increase the p..fit of the farm CTS toll. to protect the farmers pro puct and extend his market. and to improve the conditions of the farmers
 life; to advance the time when America shall saise within her own limits every product of the soil con sumed by her people. as she makes within her own limits every neces- sary product of manufacture,-these have been cardinal objects of Republi- can admgnistration and We show a record of practical things done toward the accomplishment of these objects never before approached.
 Four years ago We held the Island of Cuba by military occupation. The opposition charged and the people of Cuba believed, that We did not intend 10 keep our pledge of April 20th. 1898. that when the pacification of Cuba was accomplished We should leave the government and control of the Island to its people. The new policy towards Cuba which .shonld follow the fulfill ment of that pledge was uniformed. puring the four years it has been worked out in detail and has received effect It was communicated by ex- ecutive order to the Military Cover nor. IL was embodied in the Act of Congress known as the Platt amend ment It was accepted by the Cuban Constitutional Convention on the i2th of October. 1901. IL sec1Te 10 Cuba her liberty and her indeperpence but il required her 10 maintain them. II forbade her ever 70 use tae freedom we had gained for her by so great sacrifice of blood and treasure. to give the Island to any other power; 1t re quired her to maintain a government adequate for the protection of life and property and liberty, and should she fail. it gave us the right to intervene for the maintenance of such govern ment And it gave us the right to put naval stations upon her coast for the protection and defense alike of Cuba and the United States.
 On the goth of May. 1902. under constitution which embodied these st.pulations. the government and con frol of Cuba were surrendered to the President and Congress elected by her people. and the American army sail ed away. The new Republic began it's existence with an administration of Cubans completely organized in all it's branches and trained to effective service by American officers. The ad- ministration of President Palma has been wise and efficient. Peace and order have prevailed. The people of Cuba are prosperous and happy. Her finances have been honestly admin istered, and her credit is high. The naval stations have been located cated and bounded at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, and are in the posses ] sion of our navy. The Platt amend ment is the sheet anchor of Cuban in- dependence and Cuban credit. No such revolutions as have afflicted Central and South America are pos s.ble there. because it is known to all men that ar attempt to overturn the foundations of that government will be confronted by the overwhelming power of he United States. The
 treaty of reciprocity and the Act of Congress of December 9th. 1903, which confirmed it, completed the expression of cur policy towards Cuba; which
 with far view 10 the future aims to
 bind us by ties of benefit and protec- | lion. of mutual interest and genuine I friendship that Island which guartls s
