This is the speech of Hon. Milton S. Latham, delivered in the House of Representatives on January 9, 1855, regarding the bill to establish a line of mail steamships between San Francisco and Shanghae, China, touching at the Sandwich Islands and Japan. Latham’s address offers a valuable glimpse into the mid-19th century considerations surrounding international trade, communication, and the expansion of American influence in the Pacific. The speech provides historical context to the development of maritime routes and the evolving relationship between the United States and Asia. It is a primary source document shedding light on the political and economic factors that shaped American foreign policy during a period of significant growth and change.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
