where we now begin to see our way
very clearly and where many intelli-

execution.
The treasury of the United States
has by timely and well considered
distribution of it's deposits facilitated
the moving of the crops in the present
season and prevented the scarcity of
availahle funds too often experienced
at such times. But we must not allow
ourselves to depend upon extraordi-
nary expedients. We must add the
means by which the farmer may make
his credit constantly and easily avail

many other great countries of the mod

studied and developed on the other

farmers to shift for themselves in the
ordinary money market. You have

to its whole business life and necessa-
ry to set credit free from arbitrary
and artificial restraints. need not
say how earnestly hope for its early
enactment into law. l take leave to
beg that the whole energy and atten-
ton Of the senate be concentrated
upon it till the matter is successfully
disposed Of. And yet | feel that the
request is not needed-that the men,
bers of that great house need no urg-
ing in this service to the country.
I present to you in addition the ur-
gent necessity that special provision
be made also for facilitating the credits
needed by the farmers of the country.
The pending currency bill does the
farmers a great service. 1t puts them
upon an equal footing with other bust

it should. and upon its passage they
will find themselves quit Of many OF
the difficulties which now hamper them

you how fundamental to the life Of tho

Our thoughts may ordinarily be con-
centrated upon the cities and the hives

Of the factory. but it Is from the quiet
interspaces of the open valleys and the
free hillsides that we draw the sources
of life and Of prosperity. from the

and the mine. Without these every
street would be silent, every Office de-

There is but one cloud upon our hori
zon. That has shown Itself to the
south Of us and hangs over Mexico.
There can be no certain prospect OF
peace in America until General IIuerta
has surrendered his usurped authority
in Mexico. Until it is understood on
all hands. indeed. such pretended gov
ernmentS will not be countenanced or
dealt with by the government of the
United states. We are the friends of
constitutional government in America
We are nore than its friends: we are
It's champions. because in no other
way can our neighbors to whom we
would wish in every way to make
proof of our friendship work ont their
own development in peace and liberty.
Mexico has no government. The at
tempt to maintain one at the CITY of
Mexico has broken down. and mere
military despotism has been set up
which has hardly more than the sem
hlanre of national authority. 1t origi-
mated in the usurpation of Victoriano
lluerta. who. after brief attempt to
play the part of constitutional presi-
dent, has ut last east aside even the
pretense of legal right and declared
himself dictator. AS a consequence a
condition of affairs now exists in Mex

err even the most elementary and fund
amental rights either of her own PEG,
pie or of the citizens of other coun.
tries resident within her territory can
long be successfully safeguarded and
which threatens if long continued to
imperil the interests Of peace. order
and tolerable life in the lands imme.
diately to the south Of us.
Even If the usurper had succeeded
in his purposes. in despite of the con
stitution Of the republic and the rights
Of its people. he would have set up
nothing but precarious and hateful
power which could have lasted but a
little while and whose eventual down
fall would have left the country in a
more deplOrable condition than ever.
But he has not succeeded. He has for
feited the respect and the moral sup.
port even of those who were at one
time willing to see him succeed. Little
by little he has been completely isolat-
ed. By a little every day his power
and prestige are crumbling, and the
collapse is not far away. We shall
not. l believe, be obliged to alter our
policy of watchful waiting. And then
when the end comes. we shall hope to
see constitutional order restored in dis.
tressed Mexico by the concert and en-
ergy of such Of her leaders as prefer
the liberty Of their people to their own
ambitions.

Step by step we should extend and

modifying them as experience discloses
their successes and their failures; that
we should more and more put under

archipelago the essential instruments

ties of government. their schools. all
the common interests Of their commu-
mites and so by counsel and experience
set up government which all the
world will see to be suitable to peo-
pie whose affairs are under their own

urai Resources and Full Territorial
Form of Government.
\ duty faceS us With regard to Alas
ka which seems to me very pressing
and very imperative: perhaps | should
say Il double duty. for it concerns both
the political and the material develop
ment of the territory. The people of
Alaska should be given the full terri
turial form of government. and Alas
ka. as Il storehouse, should be unlock
ed. One key to it is a system of rail
ways. These the government should
itself build and administer. and the
ports and terminals it should itself
control in the interest of all who wish
to use them for the service ana devel-
opment of the country and its people
But the construction of railways is
only the first steps only tlrusting in
the key to the storehouse and throw
ing back the lock and opening the
door. How the tempting resources of
the country are to be exploited is an
other matter. to which | shall take the
liberty of fro i time to time calling
your attention. for it is a policy which
must be worked out by well consid-
cred stages. not upon theory but upon
lines of practical expediency. 1t is
part of our general problem of con-
servation. We have a freer hand in
working out the problem in Alaska
than in the states of the Union, and
yet the principle and object are the
same wherever we touch it. We must
use the resources of the country. not
lock them up.
There need be no conflict or jealousy
as between state and federal authori-
ties, for there can be no essential diff
ference of purpose between them. The
resources in question must be used.
but not destroyed or wasted; used. but
not mOnopolized upon any narrow idea
of individual rights as against the
abiding interests of communities. That
policy can be worked out by confer
ence and concession which will release
these resources and yet not leopard
or dissipate them l for one have no
doubt and it can be done on lines of
regulation which need BE- no less ac-
ceptabe to the people and government
Of the nation at large. whose heritage
these resources are. We must bend
our counsels to this end. A common
purpose ought to make agreement
easy.

tional life in which our affections COM
mand us. as we'll as our consciences.
there stand out our obligations toward
our territories over sea. Here we are
trustees. Porto Rico. Hawaii. the Phil

to do what we please with. Such ter
ritories. once regarded as mere posses

plotted; they are part Of the domain of
public conscience and Of serviceable
and enlightened craftsmanship
We must administer them for the
people who live in them and with the
same sense Of responsibility to them as
toward our own people in our domestic
affairs. No doubt we shall success
fully enough bind Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands to ourselves by ties
Of justice and interest and affection.
but the performance Of our duty to-
ward the Philippines is more diff
cult and debatable matter. We can
satisfy the obligations Of generous JUS
tice toward the people of Porto Rico
by giving the ample and familiar
rights and privileges accorded our own
citizens in our own territories and our
obligations toward the people Of Ha-
wall by perfecting the provisions for
self government already granted them.
but in the Philippines we must go fur
ther We must hold steadily In view
their ultimate independence. and we
must move toward the time Of that
independence as steadily as the way
can be cleared and the foundations
thoughtfully and permanently laid.
Acting under the authority conferred
upon the president by congress. l have
already accorded the people Of the is
lands a majority in both houses Of
their legislative body by appointing
Ave instead of four native citizens to
the membership Of the commission. l
believe that in this way we shall make
proof Of their capacity in counsel and
their sense Of responsibility In the ex-
ercise of political power and that the
success of this step will be sure to
clear our view for the steps which are

country will expect. this to be the
central subject Of our deliberations
during the present session. but it is a
subject so many sided and so deserv-
ing Of careful and discriminating dis
cussion that shall take the liberty Of
addressing you upon 1t In special
message at later date than this. 1t
Is Of capital Importance that the bust
ness men Of this country should be re-
lieved of all uncertainties of law with
regard to their enterprises and invest
ments and a clear path indicated
which they can travel without anxiety.
1t is as important that they should be
relieved Of embarrassment and set
free to prosper as that private monop-
oily should be destroyed. The ways Of
action should be thrown wide open.

economically productive as well as

part of the work of conservation, and
the conservation of human life and en-

We owe 1t in mere justice to the rail-
way employees Of the country to pro-
vide for them fair and effective en-

we can stand by in this matter will be
no less to the advantage Of those who
administer the railroads Of the coun-
