Not long after accession to the Spanish throne, Fernando Cortes at the head of his army from the Gulf of Mexico upon the city of that name, and. after struggles, dethroned tho native sovereign and reigned in his as the viceroy of King Charles. Cortes discovered the Pacific and California. Before death of Charles the Spaniards had pushed northwards, and as early as the year Spanish settlements made in what is now the State of Now Mexico. Southvards, Charles' lieutenants established a regular lino of communication from ocean to ocean across the Isthmus of Panama.

This line of communication was made for no loss a purpose than to transport the Ingots of silver from the rich mines of Peru to in Spain, and from tho Atlantic side on their way to Atlant to carry the stores for the arsenals and garrisons which wore being established on Pacific In meantime Krauoosco Plzaro had completed tho conquest of Pern, while Islands of the West peacefully became provinces of rij ain, us entirely under her control as wore Valencia and Andalusia. Before of great Emperor, Spain had 'taken of IMorlda, and her flag floated proudly over Mexico. New Mexico, Guatemala, Peru. Chili, Paraguay and Buenos Ayres upon tho tlnent. and over every important Island in the Carrihhean Si a.

And on tho map Spain claimed even wider dominion in America. Thus stood tho condition of affairs In the middle of the sixteenth By beginning of present Century a vast change had taken place.

Texas still was Spanish territory. Hut by ret of United States congress In 1815 Texas was purchased from Spain.

It had a debt of awven million dollnrs, which it seemed as If It could pay off. ami Spain allowed United States to take Tox.is if it would assume the debt. There was vigorous opposition at the time, as the country was in a state of financial distress. But congress insisted, and with wliat good results the subsequent history of Texas shows. Spain by this act lost a territory of square miles, am! twice largo as Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania all three put together.

Florida meanwhile had been purchased by United States for live million dollars. Its possession dates back to 1821. when the Pnlted States received It from Spain ending to the treaty of purchase made two years before There wore square miles and he whole country was rich in vegetation and minerals.

It apparently be shown that something like a marriage market exists.
