15 The Chicago Journal in an indignant editorial inquired whether of the River and Harbor bill, on August 3, 1846, by President James K. Polk, that bill had contained appropriations of $15, 000 for the Harbor of Buffalo, $20, 000 for Cleveland, $40, 000 for the St. Clair flats, $80, 000 for Milwaukee, Racine, Chicago and other nearby ports, and sums for other lake harbors. President Polk affirmed that as these ports were not harbors of vessels used in international trade, "It would seem the dic...tate of wisdom under such circumstances to husband our means, and not waste them on comparatively unimportant objects. " The Chicago Journal in an indignant editorial inquired whether this same James K. Polk was not squandering millions upon an inva- sion of Mexico for the sake of the extension of slavery? Was he not buying steamboats at exorbitant prices for use in the transportation of troops and supplies to Mexico, and leaving our legitimate commerce on the lakes unprotected, with lives liable to be lost for lack of safe harbors, and great territory of our own undeveloped while he sought to acquire other territory by bloody means and for ignoble ends?
