promises that the water power Of the
country should in fact as well as in

industries which can make economical

kets which we must supply, and we
must find the means of action. The
United States. this great people for
whom we speak and act, should be
ready as never before to serve itself
and to serve mankind. ready with it's
resources, its energies, its forces of
production and its means of distribu-
ton.
1t is a very practical matter. a mat
ter of ways and means. We have the
resources, but are we fully ready to
use them? And. If we can make ready
what we have, have we the means at
hand TO distribute It? We are not
fully ready; neither have we the means
Of distribution. We are willing, but
we are not fully able. We have the
, wish to serve and to serve greatly, gen.
erOusly. But we are not prepared as
we should be. We are not ready to
mobilize our resources at once. We are
not prepared to use them Immediately
and at their best, without delay and
without waste.
To speak plainly, we have grossly
erred in the way In which we have
stunted and hindered the development
OF our merchant marine. And now,
when We need ships. we have not got
them, We have year after year debat-
ed, without end or conclusion, the best
policy to pursue with regard to the
use OF the ores and forests and water
powers of our national domain in the
rich states of the west. when we
should have acted, and they are still
locked up. The key is still turned
upon them. the door shut fast at which

traordinary. and SO must our efforts be
also.
Fortunately two great measures, fine

the faith we have boosted and profess
ed? l cannot believe that the senate
will let this great measure of construc-
tive justice await the action of another
congress. Its passage would nObly
crown the record of these two years
of memorable labor.
But / think that you will agree with
me that this does not complete the toll
of our duty. How are we to carry our
goods to the empty markets of which
| have spoken if we have not the
ships? How are we to build up great
trade if we have not the certain and
| constant means OF transpOrta ton upon
which all profitable and useful com
MERGE depends? And how are We to
get the ships if we wait for the trade
to develop without them? To correct
the many mistakes by which we have
discouraged and all but destroyed the
merchant marine of the country, to re-
trace the steps by which we have. 1t

plays it, would take long time and
involve many detailed items Of legiS-
latiOn, and the trade which we ought
Immediately to handle would disap
pear or find other channels while we
debated the items.
The case is not unlike that which
confronted US when our own continent
was TO be opened up to settlement and
industry. and we needed long lines of
railway, extended means of transpOr-
tation prepared beforehand. If develop
ment was not to lag intOlerably and
wait unfortunately. We lavishIy sub
sidized the building of transconti-
mental railroads. We look back upon
that with regret now. because the sub
sides led TO many scandals of which
we are ashamed. but we know that
the railroads had to be built, and if
we had it to do over again we should
of course build them, but in another
way. Therefore | propose another
way of providing the means of trans
portation, which must precede. not
tardily follow, the development of our
trade with our neighbor states OF
America. 1t may seem a reversal of
the natural order of things, but it is
true, that the routes of trade must be
actually opened-by many ships and
regular sailings and moderate charges
before streams Of merchandise will
flow freely and probably through
them.
