WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOYEMBEK 20, 1901. TRADE, PROSPERITY American Statesmen Speak to the Point. OUR DUTIES AND OPPORTUNITIES -Elect Cummins of lowa, Secre tary Hay and Senator -niirin Utter Patriotic Word*. New York, Xov. 20.—The one hundred I and thirty-third annual banquet of the! chamber of commerce was held at Del- j nionico's last evening. The speech-making was opened by Presi dent Jesup in a few words. He then pro- j posed a toast to the memory of William ! MoKinley. It was drunk with all stand- j ing and in Bilence. President Roosevelt's health was then toasted, while the orchestra played, and i at the next toaet, that of King Edward of England, the British national anthem was : played. Governor Odell spoke to the toast "The \ Sta:e of Xew York." and Mayor-elect Low j replied to the toast "The City of New! York." A. B Cummins, governor-elect of lowa, | ■poke upon prosperity. "When I speak of prosperity," said Mr. I Cummins, "I have in mind a reasonable, I moderate, but constant advance that will keep u« well at the head of the march,! but will not completely exhaust our com-j petltors in tfreir efforts to remain in the i procession. 'Looking into the future, it may be said' vita the utmost certainty, that if we hold' the commanding position we now occupy | and broaden our influence in the world's affairs, we must retain the exceptional; manhood of the republic. "While there has hitherto been an oc-) casional note of discontent, the great; body of the people have felt that the gov- i eminent has accomplished in high de-! gree the ends for which it nag or-! ganized. "But it Is easy to see that we are rap-' Idly passing into another phase of national existence, one In which we musrt not only ' concern ourselves with our relations to-' ward other nations, and our trade with other lands, but also look with increasing care towards these laws which are in-; tended to control the relations which our; people bear to each other. "Good government must contribute its part toward the maintenance of the high standard of manhood which has hitherto bten at once our pride and protection, and that good government in itb highest form; Is unnattainable until we nationalize some ' of the mighty problems which are now! vexing the public mind. Work a Rvqnislte. "One of the fundamental conditions of prosperity is work for the people, not part of the people, but all .the people ■Who either want to work or must work, i "The American system of protective ! duties upon imports has given us our own markets, but it is not an effective weapon i for the conquest of international trade. "Reciprocity, in so far as it modifies | or abrogates duties upon non-competitive ; products imported into the United States, j is so plainly for the benefit of both .the ! American producer and the consumer, that there can be no controversy with respect • to the wisdom of kiving the principle free ! ecope in these fields. '"Let us hold fast to these fundamental principles. We must not surrender a | home market for a foreign market of equal ; extent. We must not yield a sure market j for an uncertain one." Mr. Camming departed somewhat from ! his prepared speech. He said there was a ; filing in this country that industrial com- j binations are tending to drift toward i monopoly. Not a word could be said, he declared, ; against industrial combinations, but a monopoly was quite a different thing from industrial combinations. He said there are two forces to regulate prices—one competition and the other regulation by i law. '•I know," said Mr. Cummins, "that the people of this country will not stand for Industrial monopoly any more than they j ■would for a monarchical form of govern- ! tnent. '"If we wish to preserve the manhood of our citizenship the time will come when it will be necessary to nationalize the questions which are now agitating the public mind in this particular domain." Speaks on Diplomacy. John Hay, secretary of state, spoke in regard to diplomacy. He said in part: "There was a time when diplomacy was a science of intrigue and falsehood, of traps and mines and counter-mines. It may be another instance of that credulity with which I have often been charged by European critics when I say that I really believe the world has moved on ward in diplomacy as in many other mat ters. "In my experience of diplomatic life, which now covers more years than I like to look back upon, and in the far greater record of American diplomacy . which I have read and studied, I can say without hesitation that we have generally told squarely what we "wanted, told early in negotiation what we were willing to give and allowed the other side to accept or reject our terms. "During the time which I have been prominently concerned in our foreign re lations I can also say that we have been met by the representatives of other pow ers in the same spirit of frankness and sincerity. "The briefest explanation of our rule of conduct is, perhaps, the Monroe doctrine and the golden rule. With this simple chart we can hardly go far wrong. "We have kept always in view the fact that we ara pre-eminently a peave-loving people—that our normal activities are In Mie direction of trade and commerce; that ■*he vast development of our industries im peratively demand that we shall not only retain and confirm our hold on the pres ent markets, but seek constantly by all honorable means to extend our commer cial interests in every practicable direc tion. "It is for this reason we have nego tiated the treaties of reciprocity which now await action of th senate; all of them conceived in the traditional Ameri can spirit of protection to our Industries and yet mutually advantageous to our eelves and «ur neighbors. "In the same spirit we have sought COFFEE COMPLEXION Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions From Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they be came permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as One could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee ■was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Cereal Food Coffee, and as I made It well, according to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it entirely in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that the coffee caused the trouble. Please omit my name from public print." Mrs. , 2081 Ogden aye., Chicago, 111. The name of this lady can be given by the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. Most bad complexions are caused by Some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of diges tion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper Quantity. The food coffee furnishes cer tain parts of the natural grains from the field that nature uses to rebuild the ncr- vous system, and when that is in good [ coafißion, one c,an depend upon a good ' >>mplexion as well as a general healthy condition of the body. |THE BIG STORE.] f\ I £* f\ |V >Q [ THE ARCADE. | Nic.

A Reformed Democrat, Senator John L. McLaurin of South Car olina, spoke to the sentiment: "The Monroe doctrine of the twentieth cen tury."' The senator declared that the ruling question to-day with all nations, and the one to which all political questions are subordinated was, "what can we do to fur ther industrial development and obtain substantial business prosperity?" "Now that we have become the greatest export nation of the world, the might iest potentiality on earth for progress, civilization and human freedom, we can no longer confine our institutions and our destiny to this continent, but are com pelled by uncontrollable events, to seek fraternity with other nations, and to reach out for new channels of trade." The speaker spoke of reciprocity treat ies as one of the features of this twenti eth century Monroe doctrine, and defined their principle to be that trade was not to be free on one side and fettered on the other; that goods were not to be taken from a foreign country free of duty or at a low rate unless that country took some thing from us free of duty or at a low rate. Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to the court of St. James, spoke of the sympathy that had been shown by the British people at the time of the death of President Mc- Kinley, and said that not only had the sympathy been manifested almost every hour for days after the event by royalty, but that all classes were quite as sor rowful.
