SMITH & GO., eventeentfo St. anil Lafayette Ave. ?Phone 2524. ee 2>su.w&f6m President Addresses theAsso cia?on of Manufacturer:. BIG BANQUET IN NEW YORK "The Currency of tu? United State?," Do? ctor 'S the Nation's Executive, "In and lttUMt Forever he Unquestioned anil Unassailable." (Bv Telegraph.) NEW YORK. Jin. 27.?The third an? nual banquet of the'National-Association o? 'Manufacturers of the United States, which was serveJ tonight at the Wai dorf-Astoria Hotel, was one of the larg r-t and most elaborate affairs of the kind ever given in this city. One hun? dred guests were seated at the tables. The fact that President McKinley would be present caused a rush for tickets. President McKinley was driv? en from the Windsor Hotel and was r.Ived at the Waldorf-Aatori.l at 6:30 1'. M., by the committee of merchants, and at once taken to the Royal rhutti b ;rs. Half an hour liter he appeared in the reception room, where he hcid a It- ee for m ire than ar. hour. The banquet hall was magnificently decona'ted. the tiers of boxes being .leaped with silken banners. The Pres? ident's Hag was suspended over Ine head of the table from the President's box. The table was elaborately decor? ated with (lowers and potted plants. The dias where the President and other guests sat were also adorned with many flowers. The march to the banquet began at 7:15 and lasted until ulmbst 7:30, being a straggling iinc. President McKinley, with the corn hall, the band playing "Hail the mittee oi thirty-six, mar. he r into the Chief." It was after 9 o'clock when "Warner Miller rapped for order. He then an? nounced that Rev. W. S. McArthur would invoke a blessing. Or. Mac Ar? thur, in -his prayer, called for special protection for the President and the ! .toilers of the Manufacturers' Asso Among those who occupied seats of honor on the raised dia-s were: President McKinley, M. 10. Ingalls, Darwin It. James. Rev. K. S. MacAr trhur, Thomas W. Crlddler, Randolph Guggenheimer, Ellhu Hoot, John Ad? dis. >n Porter, Attorney General John W. Griggs, Lieutenant Governor Timothy I.. Woodruff, Senator William P. Frye, Charles Emory Smith. Warn r MiMete. President Theo. c. Search, Henry E. Holland, ex-Mayor William L. Strong, Clement A. Griscom, St. Clair McKel way and A oner McKinley. Among the * ither invited guests were: Albert Pope, Henry W. McAlpine, W. C. Whitney and George Guhtrr. The menu cardt? were very elaborate. They were volumes of vellum bound in undressed calf, with a monogram burii ed into the cover, surrounded by a scrtfll. There were etchings of "Lib? el ly." "The Brooklyn Bridge." "Indus? try," a scene un Wall street. "Com? merce and Transportation," and some .?t' the large buidlings in -New York. Tlti- President's menu card was the same as that of the other guests ex? cept thai ithe edges were in gold and the words "The -President" in embossed let? tering on the ever. At 10:30 o'clock Warner Miller rapped for order. He referred to the youth of the association and said the meeting would be productive of more g.>od than anything -that has been held in this country for some time. He said there was nothing political in the organiza? tion. The chief end of the organization, he declared, was to extend the commerce of the United States abroad. "This association," said he, "would advocate another department in the cabinet, namely, a secretary of com? merce." . Mr, Sillier 'then introduced Theo. C. Search, president of the association, who spoke briefly. The wildest enthusiasm prevailed when President -McKinley was intro? duced. -Men stood on their seats; wom? en in the boxes waved -their -handker? chiefs and the uproar drowned the speaker's voice. The cheering and clapping hands were redoubled when the tcast was drank to the President. President McKinley spoke slowly and was plainly heard in every portion of tile hall. He s ti .-: "Mr. Toastmaster. Members of the National 'Association of Manufactu? rers and IGues-ts: "For the cordial character of this greeting I return my thanks. The gen? uineness of your welcome is full com? pensation for having left Washington at an unusually busy season in order to participate in this interesting meet? ing. "I scarcely need remind you that we ? lo not meet as stringers. Neither your business organizations nor social reun? ions are altogether unfamiliar to me. 1 .have been with you before, not as a Sliest, as now. but rather in the capac? ity .?!' host. I recall that as the gov? ernor of Ohio it was my pleasure to welcome you to the city of Cincinnati on January 22. 1S95, at the initial con? vention of the Manufacturers' Associa? tion. I well remember that occasion. It was a cold day. You had lost every? thing but your pluck, or thought you hod. ("out-age was the only friend your grief could e-all Its own. I note with satisfaction your improved ap pearance now. You are more cheerful in countenance, more buoyant In spirit, more hopeful in manner and more con? t'd, rit in purpose. Then, too, there are more of you here than .there were at your first meeting. Distances are of curse the same, but traveling has been resumed. Your speeches and resolu? tions at ilie first convention were di? rected mainly to the question of how to regain what you had lost in the pre? vious years, or, if that was found Im? possible, then how to stop further loss. "But your object now, as I gather it. is to go out and possess what you have never had before. You want -to extend, n .; your notes, but your business. I sympathized with your purpose then; I am in full accord with your intentions now. "I ventured to say at the gathering referred to, as reported in your publish? ed proceedings, speaking both for your encouragement and from a profound conviction: 'This great country cannot be permanently kept in a state of re? lapse. I believe we will re-occupy the field .temporarily lost to us and go out to the peaceful conquest of new and greater fields of trade and commerce. Tie- recovery will come slowly, perhaps, but if wi'lll come, and when it does we w.ll lie steadier and will better know how to avoid exposure .hereafter.' "I have .abated none of the faith I th.-n expressed and you seem to have regained yours. "National policies can encourage In? dustry and commerce, but it remains for the people to project and carry th.-m ..n. If -these policies stimulate industrial development and energy, the people can be safely trusted to do the rest. The government, however, is restricted in its power to promote In? dustry. It can aid commerce, but not create it. It can widen and deepen Its rivers, improve its harbors and develop its great national waterways; but tihe ship? to sail and the traffic to carry the people must supply. The government can raise revenues by taxation in such a way as will discriminate in favor of domestic enterprises, but It cannot es? tablish them. It can make commercial treaties, opening to our manufacturers and agriculturalists the ports of other nations. It can enter into reciprocal arrangements to exchange our products with those of other countries. It can .aid our merchant marine by encourag? ing our people to build ships of com j ?ieree. It can assist In every lawful manner private enterprises to unite the ?two oceans with a great canal. It can do all these things and oug.it .to do them; but with ?11 this accomplished the result will still be ineffectual unless supplemented by the energy, enterprise and Industry of the people. It is they wh? must build and operate the facto? ries, furnish the ships and cargoes for the canal, and the river and the sea. It Is they who must find the consum? ers to obtain trade by going forth to win it. "Much profitable trade is still unen joyed by our people because of their present insufficient facilities for reach? ing desirable markets. 'Much of it is lost because of a lack of information and ignorance of 'the condition and needs of other nations. We must know Just what other people want before we supply their want*. We must under? stand exactly how to reach them with least expense if we would enter into the most advantageous business relations with them. The snip requires the ship? per: but the shipper must-have assured promise that his goods will have a sale when they reach their destination. It is a good rule, if buyers will not come to us, for us to go to them. It Is our duty to make American enterprise and industrial ambition, as well as achieve? ment, terms of respect and praise, not only at home but among the family of nations the world over. "There is another duty resting upon the national government?'To coin money and regulate the value thereof.' This duty requires that our government shall regulate the value of Its money by the highest standards of commercial honesty and national honor. The money of the United States is and must forever be unquestioned and unassaila? ble. If doubts remain, they must be moved. If weak places are discovered, t'hey must be .--trengthened. Nothing should ever tempt us?nothing ever will tempt us?to scale down the sacred debt of the nation through a legal technical? ity. Whatever may be the language of the contract, the United States will dis? charge all of its obligations in the cur? rency recognized as the best throughout the civilized world at the times of pay? ment. Nor will we ever consent that the wages of labor or its frugal savings snail be scaled down, by permitting payment in dollar.* of less value than the dollars accepted as the best in every enlightened nation of the earth. "Uneler existing conditions our citi? zens cannot be excused if they do not redouble their efforts to secure such fi? nancial legislation as will place the honorable intentions beyond dispute. All those who represent, as you do, the great conservative, but progressive bus? iness interests of the country, owe it not only to themselves, but to the peo? ple to insist upon the settlement of this great question now, or else to face the alternative that it must again be sub? mitted .for arbitration at the polls. This is our plain duty to more than seven million voters who fifteen months ago won a great political battle on the is? sue, among others, that the United States government would not permit a doubt to exist anywhere concerning the stability and integrity of its currency or the inviolability of its obligations of every kind. That is my interpretation of the victory. Whatever effort, there? fore, is required to make the settlement of this vital question clear and conclu? sive for all '.time, we are bound, in good conscience, to undertake and if possi? ble realize. That is our commission? our present charter from the people. "It will not suiTlee for citizens now? adays to say simply that they are in favor of sound money. That is not enough. The people's purpose must be given the vitality of public law. Better an honest effort with failure than the avoiding of so plain and commanding a duty. "The difficulties in the path of sat? isfactory reform are, it must be admit? ted, neither few in number nor slight in degree: but progress cannot fail to be made with a fair and thorough trial. An honest attempt will be the best proof of sincerity of purpose. Discus? sion cannot hurt, it will only help the cause. Bet us have full and free dis? cussion. We are the last to avoid or evade it. Intelligent eliseussion will strengthen the indifferentandencourage the friends of a stable system of fi? nance. "Ha'lf-heantedness never won a bat? tle. Nylons aiwt parties without abid? ing principles and stern resolutions to enforce them, even if it costs a contin? uous struggle to do so, and temporary sacrifice, are never in the highest de? gree successful leatlers in the progress of mankind. For us t ) attempt nothing in the face of the prevalent fallacies and the persistent effort to spread them is to lose valuable ground already won, and practically to weaken tie forces ot sound money for their battles of the future. "The financial plank of the St. Louis platform is still as commanding upon Republicans and those who served with them in the last campaign as on the day it was adopted and promulgatei. Happily the tariff part of the platform has already been engrafted into public statute. 'But that other plank, not al? ready builded into our constitution, is of binding force upon all of us. What is it? "The Republican party is unreserved? ly for sound money. It caused the en? actment of the law providing for the re? sumption of specie payments in 1S90; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. 'We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to denase our cur? rency or impair the credit of our coun? try. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except by inter? national agreement with the leading commercial nations o! the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and un? til such .agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserv? ed. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold .and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolable the obligations of the United States, and all eUr money, whether coin or pap-r, at the present standard, the standard oi the mist en? lightened nations of the earth. "This is in reality a command from the people who gave the administration to the party in power, and who are still anxiously waiting for the execution of ?their free and omnipotent will by those of us who hold commissions from that supreme tribural. "I have spoken tonight in a some? what serious strain, because I 'believe it i.s due both to the membership of this association and to ithe conditions under which the assemblage has met. The conferences and systematic efforts of such a body of men as this are capable of infinite good to the respective com? munities in which the members live and to the nation at large. "The country is now emerging from trying conditions. It is only just begin? ning to recover from the depression in certain lines of business long continued and autogether unparalleled. Progress, therefore, will naturally be slow, but let us not be impatient. Rather let us ex? ercise a just patience and one which in time will surely bring its own high re? ward. "I have no fear fc^r the future of our beloved country. While I discern in its present condition the necessity that al? ways exists for the faithful devotion of its citizens, the history of its past is assurance to me that this will be as It always has been through every struggle and emergency, still onward and up? ward. It has never suffered from any trial or been unequal to any test. Founded upon right principles, we have nothing to fear from the vicissitudes which may lie across our pathway. The nation founded by the fathers upon principles of virtue, education, freedom and human rights; molded by the great discussions which established its sover? eignty, tried in the crucible of civil war? fare, its integrity confirmed by the re? sults of reconstruction, with a union stronger and better than ever before, stands today not upon shifting sands but upon Immovable foundations. Let us resolve by our laws and by our ad? ministration of them to maintain the ?rights of the citizen, to cement the un? ion by. ?ftill closer bonds, to exalt the standards of American civilization, on ADVICESFROM HAVANA Cuban General Arangueron Surprised and Killed.
