THE MESSAGE. S
(Contiiued from pago 1.) *
(
At present Amereau shipping is on- 1
dor oertain groat disadvantages when \
put iu competition villi the shipping
of foreign oouDtios. Many of the fast
foroign steamships, at a speed of feuvtoon
knots or above, tuo subsidised,
and all our ships, sailing vessels and
Bteannjrs alike, cargo oairies of slow
speod and mail carries of high sp*od,
have to meet tho face iha( the original
cost of luilding American thips is
greater tl an is tho case abroad; that tho
wages p?id American cftioera and sou
men are very muoh higher than tho o
paid tho (fiioers and *-camon of foreign
competing countries, and that the
standard of living on our nlii) a is far
superior to tho staudard of living on
the ehi'^ ot our commercial liv ?!s O tr

FINANCIAL.
Tho r?9fago ofuthesot establishing
golvl as tho slvndard monoy has, it is
deoiared, been shown to bo timely and
judioious. Tho president adds:
In many rospeo s tho national hank
ing la? furnis os svflioiiut lib. r y for
tho projo? exorcise of iho banking
funotion, but there seoms to bo need
of better safeguards against too do
ranging icfiueteo of commercial crises
and flrauoial pauics. Moreover, the
currency of tho c~untiv should bo
made responsive to the demands of our
domestic tiado and ocmaieroo.
Eoonomy in r xpendituics in urged
Amendment of the interstateoomuieree j
aot is ndviffd to irsuro tho cardiusl
pre visions of that not. The werk oar
tied on by the department of agricul- 1
ture is next considered and prsis^d '
) ighly. The president then turns to '
foiest preservation snd irrigation of '
arid lands, stying that bcth uro highly I
ncoessary. lie woutd put all tho work j
in ocDncction wiih the forest reserves '
n ol arge of the bureau of forestry.
IRRIGATION. j
The president continues bv traoiDg
the connection between the forest reserves
and tho water 6upply. Ho says: '
Tho forests are natural reservoirs.
By restrainirg tho streams in flood ^
and replenishing them n drought they
make possible the uso of waters otherwise
waetcd. They prevent the 6oil
from washing acd so protect the- stor- '
ago reservoirs from tilling up with .
silt. Forest conservation is, thcreforo
an essential coDdiiion of water eocsor- ,
vation.
Tho forests a'cno oinnot, however,
fully rcgu'ato and eonservo tho waters (
of the arid region. Great stcrago works
aro necessary to equal)7.9 thefljw of
B'riamsandto savo tho flood waters. '
Their construction has bccncorclu
sivelv shown to bo an undertaking
too \ ait forjrivato effort. Nor can it
bo best aoooinpltsht d bv tho individual
states acting alone. Tho govcrumoDt
should oonstiuct and maintain thefo
reservoirs as it dees other publio works.
y> nt r* troir puri oso is lo rrgulMo the
flowcf eticamp, tho water shtu'd bo
turned freely in tho ohanncls in tho
dry s'Bscn to tako the saiuo oourso
under tho samo laws as tho natural
flow.
Tho reolaniation of tho uncottlcd arid
jublio lands prosonts a different problem.
Hero it is not enough 10 regulate
tho flow of streams. Tho object of tho
government is to disposo ot the land
to cottiers who will build homos upon
it. To aooomplish this oljeot water
must bo brought within thoir roaob.
Tho pioneer sottlers on tho ario publio
demain chose their homes along
streams frcm whioh they oould them
selves divert tho water to reclaim thoir
holdings. Suoh opportunities are prao
tically gono. Thero remain, however,
vast areas of public land whioh can be
mado avilablo for homcstoad Bottle
ment, but only by reservoirs and main
lino oanals impracticable for private
enterprise. Those irrigation works
should bo built by tho national govorn ;
mont. Tho lands roolaimcd by them
should bo roEcrvod by tho government
for actual settlers, and the oost of oonstiuotiou
should, so far as poBsiblo, bo
repaid by tho land rcolaimcd. Tho distribution
of tho water, tho division of
the streams among irrigators, should
bo left to the settlors thomaolvos in
oonformity with state laws and with
cut intorfcronco with thoeo laws or
with vested rights
The declaration ia made that in the
arid states the only right to water
whioh should bo rooognized is that of
use. The president saya that the doctrine
of private ownership of water
apart from land cannot picvail without
causing wrong.
INSULA It I'ROHLEMH
Insular ((uostiona are noxt treated.
Iu Hawaii our aim muat ho to develop
tho territory on tho trad ticnal Arnorioan
licca. Porto llioo is doolarod to bo
thriving as novor boforo. The attention
of oongrosB is called to the need of
legislation oonoerning tho island s public
lands. In Cuba it is statoi that
muoh progress has been mado toward
putting tho independent govornm^nt of
tho island upon a firm footing, and it is
deolarod that indcpomlocca will be an

of morality and of national intorcst
why the policy should be held tc bavo
a peouliar application, and I most earnestly
aelc your attention to the wisdom,
indeed to tho vital need, of providing
for a f ubslantial reduction in
tho tariff duvies on Cuban impcrts into
the United statos.
In dealing with the Philippine poo
pie wo must show both paticnoo and
strength, forbearance and steadfast resolution.
Oar aim is high. We do cot
doeire to do fcr tho islanders merely
what has olsowhcrc boon dono for tropio
peoples by even tho best foroign
governments. Wo hope to do for them
what has cover beforo boon dono for
any poople of the tropics?to mako
them fit for solf government after tho
fashion of tho roally froe nations.
Tho only fear is lost in our ovoranxiety
wo give thorn a degree of indo
poLdonpo for whioh thoy aro unfit,
thereby inviting reaotion and disaster.

eoiains to be ucdv rtaki n on this continent

merely to its material effects upon

to begin it. While its benelioial

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
The Mouroo dootiine should be the
cardinal foatnio of the foreign policy
of all the nations of the two Americas
as it is of the United State *. Tho Men
roo dootrino is a declaration that then
must bo no territorial aggrandizimonl
by any non-Americiu power at tho ex
ponso any American power on Ameri
oan soil, it is in no wise iuionded at
hostilo to any ration in tho old v?orld.
Still lear is it intouded to givo cover tc
any aggression by one now world powoi
at tho c xponso of any other. J.t is aim
ply a step, and a long stop, toward as
turicg tho universal poaoo of tho worlc
by sfcouriDg tho possibility of porma

This doo rino has uothing to do will
tho commercial rotations cf aoy Amori

In other words it is really a guarante
of tho eominoroial indopondenoo of th

state. Wo do not gtfaranteo aoy stat

Our attiludo in Cuba is a fculfioien

is tho host guarantee against war. H
roooininonda that provision bo mad
not only for tuoro ships, but for mor

should bo provided, as well as an it

It ia important to have this system

Tho president oono'.udes his mosfago as
1 follows:
