Hawaii.
The needs Of Hawaii are peculiar;
every aid should be unceasing % develop
them along the lines of a community Of
small freehOlders, not Of great planters
with coolie-tilled estates. Situated as
this territory is, IN the middle of the
Pacific. there are duties imposed upon
this small community which 90 NOT EalA
in like degree or manner upon any otner
American community. This warrants
our treating it differently from the way
in which we treat territories continuous
to or surrounded by sister territories or
other states, and Justines the setting
aside of a portion OF our revenues to be
expended for educational and Internal
improvements therein. HAWAII IS no"
making an effort 10 secure lznmisraliont

burdens OF full American citizenship. ana
whenever the leaders In the various lN-
dustries OF those islands finally adopt our
ideals and heartily join our administIa-
tion in endeavoring 10 develop a middle
class Of substantial citizens, way VIII
yen be found TO deal with the CONNER
cial and industrial problems which now
appear TO them so serious. the pest
Americanism is that which aims for sta
bility and permaneney q prosperous
turns on large masses Of capital
Alaska.
Alaska's needs have been partially met
but there must be a complete reOrsaniZa-
tion Of the governmental system, as
have often indicated 10 you. | ask your
especial attention 10 this our fellow
citizens who dwell on the shores ot
Puget sound with characteristic energy
are arranging TO hold IN Seattle the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition It's
special aims include the upbuildlng Of
Alaska and the development Of American
commerce on the Pacific ocean. This eX-
should appeal not only 70 the people OF
the Pacific slope. but 10 the people of the
United States at large. Alaska since u
was bought has yielded to the govern
ment 81 100000 Of revenue, and has pro-
duced nearly $500 100000 In gold, furs
and fish. When properly developed i
win become in large degree a iand or
homes. The countries bordering on the
Pacific ocean have q population more
numerous than that Of all the countries
Of Europe; their annual foreign COM
merce amounts to over three billions Of
dollars of which the share of the
United States is some 800. 10000. If this
trade were thoroy understood and
pushed by our manufacturers and pro-
ducers, the Industries not only Of the
Pacific slope, but OF all our country, and
particularly Of our cotton growing states
would be greatly benefited. OF course,
IN order to get these benefits. we must
treat fairly the countries with which we
trade.
