fore favor legislation which will en
courage and build up the American
merchant marine, and we cordially ap
prove the legislation of the last con
gresi which created the merc hant ma
rine commission to investigate and re
port upon this subject.
A navy powerful enough to defend
the United States against any attack,
to uphold the Monroe doctrine, and
watch over our commerce, is essential
for the safety and the welfare of the
American people. To maintain such a
navy is the fixed policy of the Republi
can party
which at the beginning may be involved,
will be ou"set later by more than
equivalent gains.
"The expense is as nothing compared
to the advantage to be achieved. The
re-establishment of our merchant ma
rine involves, in a large measure, our
continued industrial progress and the
extension of our commercial triumphs.
I am satisfied the judgement of the
country favors the policy of aid to our
merchant marine, which will broaden
our commerce and markets and upbuild
our sea-carrying capacity for the pro-
ducts of t agriculture and manufacture,

President Koosevelt in his annual

the ocean mail act of 1891 so that the
satisfactory American ocean mail lines
to South America, Asia, the Philippines,
and Australasia may be established.
The creation of such steamship lines
should be the natural corollary of the
voyage of the battle fleet. It should
precede the opening of the Panama
Canal. Kven under favorable condi

such lines can be put into operation.
Accordingly I urge that the congress
