It manifestly will not belong before upon the borders of this country and Mexico there will be a system of reciprocity duties which will practically open that entire region to free trade between this and that country. In the West Indies you want something which will enable you to discriminate and reciprocate in duties and in advantages to trade and commerce. You want governments there which will promote social order and will encourage the immigration into that country of such people as we have here. laboring people of the United States. who are competent to make it and will make it a country of vast wealth. and whose connection with us as a market for the consumption of our products is of the highest and first importance. I shall be glad to give my support. as I stated. to the bill establishing a frequent communication with those countries in American ships. under the American flag. and trusting that in the future. whatever may be the presentcondition of this country. such policies will be developed as will enable us to avail ourselves of the advantages of the commerce of those countries.
