THE TIREE AMERICAS AND THE WORLD S FAIR. A Orund Celebration. WBY IT 5B0DLD BE HELD HEBE. Arguments Before the Quadri Centennial Committee. Remarks of Prominent anil Influential >len Who Favor a Site at the National Capital?Claims Which Should Not be Denied. Introductory Remark* by John W.Doug lass, President of the Hoard of Dis trict Commissioners. lfr. ChtiirnviHaml ilmtlfnwn: I want to occupy ouly a moment of your at tention to sav that I represent what is called in common parlau<?> the caw of the city of Wash ington. or. in other worls. the Capitol of the Nation, as a proper place to hold the (treat In ternational Kxposition of the Three American in lH'/i We have divided the labor of advo cating the cause of Washington. The first pre sentation will be male by Mr. Anderson, the Secretary of what has been called for several years the National Board of IVomotiou of the Tnree Americas Exposition. He will be fol lowed by Mr. I'arker. President of the Board of Trade of the city of Washington, upon the sub ject of the memorial that has been circulated among the citizen* of W ashington. While the first argument will comspond with the univer sal sentiment of our citizens, and. we think, the citizens of this conutry. that this being a great international fair, it should be sustained aud carried on by the General Gov ernment at the Capital of tho Na tion. at the same time we have not forgotten that some of our sister cities dis agree with us as to th>* location. In this re gard something may possibly depend upon the tjuestion of money and subscriptions. There lore the second bill introduced into Congress and known as the Gorman bill embodies that idea. The memorial, as preseuted by Mr. Parker, will be confined to the idea that we are ready to-d;:y to comply with tlie money considerations. The third speech will be made by Major Powell. Director of the Geological Survey, who will represent, as far as may be proper, the scientific people of the country, and to a certain extent will show the perm anent scientific results that will be obtained by this Exposition. The concluding remarks will be made by General Fe.ix Agnus, of Baltimore, our sister and neighboring city. 1 want to say that the citizens of the I>ibtnct of Columbia stand ready and willing to the best of their ability to make the Exposition, as we hope and believe it will be, wherever held, a magnificent affair. Remark* by Ale*. D. Anderson, Secre tary of the National Hoard of Promo tion. Mr. Chairman ami G* nt'emen: We come before your honorable committee as representatives of ? committee of citizens from all of the forty-six States and Territories who have, for four years past, under the name of a Board of Promotion, advocated a Three Ameri cas Exposition at the Natiouvl Capital, in 1892. in honor of the fonr hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Colum bus. During this period fifty-six Governors, repre senting sn all forty-one States and Territories, the Mayors of Mxtv leu ling cities, one hundred and seventy-six Presidents and Secretaries of Boards of Trade throughout the United States, Hud the Masters and Secretaries ( one or both), of thirty slitc and Territorial Granges, have formally. and in writing, accepted membership in ihe Board, and pledged their co-operation in support of this patriotic movement. In addition to this we bring resolutions in dorsing the movement from the National Board of Trade. American Bankers' Associa tion. National Grange in two annual conven tions. International Medical Congress. Ameri can Medical Association. Carriage Builders' National Association. American Association of Agricultural Colleges. United States Potters' Association, Washington National Monument Society, the Mt. Vernoa Ladies' Association of the Union, and various other bodies. (_See Belmont Report, pp. I!) to 2S.) We also bring a uniuimous report in favor of I a Permanent Exposition of the Three Ameri cas. submitted to the House of Kepresentatives on the sixteenth of Juue. 1SS8. by the Commit- i tee on Foreign Affairs, through its chairman, Hon. Perry Belmont, of New York. This re port is No. 2.601. Fiftieth Congress, first ses sion. and we submit it as a portion of our argu- | nient in so fur as it applies to the. more com prehensive and new bill which we are now ad vocating. THE BILL3 ADTOC\Trt>. With these preliminary remarks I will sub mit a brief s'atement of facts in support of the new bill agreed upon by the National Board of Promotiou. and introduced by Senator Faulk ner. of West Virginia. As it is ehort and con cise. and clearly states our plan, 1 will read it as a portion of my remarks: "A BILL to provide for a Three Americas and Worlu's LlixMiuoii at the National Capital in 1N9'J. ?*Be it ennctnl >?j 'V Sematr and ihute of fitp reamtcUii+s of tin?

It will be submitted as an alternative propo sition by Mr. M. M. Parker, who represent* In thi<* respect the local board and tax-payers of the District of Columbia. I will confine my remarks to the Faulkner bill. rrSDAMESTAL FEATURES. Our plan is based upon the idea that the commemoration of this great event in Ameri can history is beyond the magnitude and dig nity of any individual city, or private corpora tion. and should be under the exclusive un spices and control of the (ieneral Government. That if there is to be any de parture from this plan it should not be in the direction of local but rath'-r toward international management, under the joint auspices of the government? of the nineteen American si-ter Republics,assisttd by Italv and Spain, which have an equal in terest hi the history of Columbus and his graud achievements. Th.it the two leading features of the Exposi tion should be. first, the hifur-cul. to commem orate the discovery of America ami its progress ? luring four hundred years, and. second, the nimtii) rrml. to inaugurate au American hemis pherical policy b.ised upon more intimate com mercial aud social relations between ttic several sister nations of the New World which Colum bus discovered, which nations have in the past been too little acquainted with each other. To emphasize this idea we have in the title of our bill placed the Three Americas first, and we know from four years' correspondence with boards of trade, governors, mayors, granges, and others that this is the most valuable and popular feature of the movement. Ol course the rest of the world is to be invited to partici pate in the temporary exhibit during the six months of 1802. lhat the Exposition of the Three Americas should be |>ermauent and remain for all time in the nature of a memorial museum in honor of the great event. We do not, of course, by using the word '?permanent," mean a perma nent exhibit of perishable produi ts. attended by an admission fee, after the temporary Ex position of 1W2 is closed, but rather a grand Continental Museum aud other similar struc tures under Governmental control, and free of charge, to illustrate the antiquities, history, progress, civilization, arts, aud industries of America, both before and siiico its discovery by Columbus. That the American people, as a whole, are Doth ready and anxious to suitably commemor ate the coining event, and are too powerful, rich, and proud to delegate a National and patriotic subject of this magnitude, aud the attending expense, to any State, city, or priv ate corporation. It is the people's celebration, and tin y wish to pay for it themselves out of their ow u treasury. That the only proper site for the Exposition is the National Capital of the oldest and fore most American nation. ADVANTAGES OF THE NlMONAL CAPITAL. The remarkable advanfl^es of the National Capital as a site are fully commensurate with the proprieties of the case, and your attention ! i* respectfully invited to a few facts on this point. Washington is the city of the Nation and of all the States?a city in which the GQ.OOO.O'JO people of the United States have an equal iu j tcrest and pride. It is as much the city of New York. Chicago, and St. I.ouis as of the District of Coiuuibia, and in some respects more so. for the people of American family would be found, as it were, clustered together around tbe Washington Monument." Washington is the diplomatic headquarters for all foreign nation*. Their legations are , here as a matter of course, and no one would ' think for a moment that they could with pro priety be established in New York, Chicago, or St. I'oum. When the last Congress of the United States provided for the holding of two great international congresses, the International American Conference and the Intt. rnitional Marine Congress, which have for Rcvernl months been in session iu this city, Washington was. as a matter of course, selected as the place <* meeting. As the exposition of lrt'J'J is to be tuainl) i>n international affair the same pro prieties require that it be located at the Na tional Capital. It is surrounded by scenes of great historic interest, gueh as the birthplace and tomb of j Washington, and other places dear to the American people. It has magnificent and broad avenues and ; streets, paved with asphalt and lined with beautiful shade trees, making it the city above all others for the military and civic parades, j winch are a prominent feature of national and I international celebrations. It i* centrally located between the North and j South, and the natural meeting-place for an ! industrial exhibit of those two neetion*. A prominent feature of great world's fairs is I the educational advantages, and no other American city has so much to offer that is in- ' structive in the line of American history as Washington. In 1S'.>2 the eighteen American pister Repub lic*. whose organic laws are to a greater or less extent copied from onr Constitution, will desire to make it special study of the workings of the Government of tho parent American llepnblic ?the United States. The other nations ot the world will desire to do likewise, and where can they learn so much oil this important subject as at tho seat of Government? It is of tran scendent importance that we give them the op- ! portunitv desired and show them the practical workings of our political system in all its gruu deur and perfection. The great event of the Exposition year will be on the twelfth of October. 1892. the 400th anniversary of the day that Columbus landed, when it is expected a statue in his honor will be unveiled by tho President of the United States, assisted by the Trt siaents of the eighteen other American Republics, the King of Italy, the Queen of Spain, and tile Presidents and Sover eigns of all other nations. I venture to say that nearly all of these l'residents and Sover eigns will be present, as was Dotn I'edro. of Brazil, at the l'hiladelphia Exposition in INTO. 1 also venture to say that the people of Italy, who are enthusiastic about the coming event, will insist that their King be present even i: it requires an act of the Italian Parliament to give h in authority. Now w here aud bv whom should these distinguished guests of the nation lie re ceived? Should (t be in a commercial city by the officers of a State, city, or private corpora tion. or at the Nation's home by the President and Cabinet representing the whole American people? To ask the question is to answer it. It is a very significant fact that tho repre sentatives of New York. Chi ago, and St. Louis, are all here at the Nation's Capital this week asking your honorable committee that a Governmental stamp be placed upon the pro posed Exposition. Itv tins very act they recog nize the fundamental feature of our claim and with equal propriety they should come here again in 1M2 to participate in a National and International Exposition. We will welcome them inost heartily, but no formal invitation is necessary, for Washington is their homo as much as it is ours?it is the Nation's home. enlarged a? goon as the Exposition is located here, just as it was iu Philadelphia tu 1H76. Five years ago the officers of the Pennsyl vania railroad made % earelnl estimate of their daily capacity provided terminal facilities were supplied. They found that they could in twen ty-four hours bring over that one road 100.000 people. Its capacity is larger now than then and will, as fh?y assert, be practically unlim ited if terminal facilities are supplied. This same statement may be applied to the other great trunk lines tributary to the National Capital, such a? the Baltimore A Ohio R.R.. the Chesapeake A Ohio railroad, the Richmond and Danville system ar.d Atlantic Coast line. It is therefore safe to assert that the daily ca pacity of the roads is at least 3W),000 passen gers. As regards the terminal facilities winch can easily be provided, immediately adjoining the Exposition grounds, 1 :>ss< rt without hesitation that tew cities in the world have better natural facilities for this purpose. Ample grounds can be purchased'in South Washington, or if neces sary. be condemned without the legal diffi culties which exist m other cities. The cost will also be small compared with that in New York and other places. On this point I have the writti n statement of an officer of the Rich mond and Danville system who says: "I see no rea.-on why terminal railroad facilities cannot be conveniently established in this city equal, if not superior, to such in any city in tliis country.-' The facilities for river transportation are on a level with those of the railroads, but equally misunderstood by the general public, for the reason that the "Potomac has never been a great commercial highway like the Mississippi Kiver. Rut its channel is deep and possibili ties unlimited. The present depth of the chan nel from Washington to the mouth of the river is nineteen Jeet. and by the removal ot two bars at the moderate expense of abou *200.000 it can bo increased to twenty-four feet, which is ample for all freight purposes. On this point I present a written statement by Lieut. Col. Peter C. Hams, of the Corps of En gineers. V. S. Army, which I will tile as "Ap pendix R." He also states in the letter that there "is ample harbor capacity between Washington and Alexandria for an immense tleet." la addition to this attention is invited to the imporn.ut fact that these vessels can land and unload their freights at wharves immediately adjoining the Exposition grounds. ACCOMMODATIONS Foil VISITORS. Few cities in the Tinted States are so elastic in its facilities for the accommodation of visitors as Washington, yet its capacity is con tinually misunderstood ior the reason that it has few showy hotels. The facts art that nearly ail of Washington is practically a boarding house and is accustomed to bein^ transformed into a boarding house on great occasions like the Inauguration Ceremonies. Triennial Con claves and great national and international conventions. The supply is always equal to the demand, and will be more so in for the reason that there will be a greater induce ment to supply the demand for an exposition lasting six mouths, and permanent museums and attractions for all time thereafter, than for a ceremony or convention lasting but a few days. I have the written statement of Mr. Boyd, the author and compiler of our city director, and who is a recognized authority upon such sub jects. that during th recent Triennial Conclave 20.000 Knights and 50.000 visitors were accom modat. d. and yet tture were left uncalled ior from H00 to 1,000 rooms. Iu his recent canvass ol the city lie found H50 vacant houses. On thi* subject 1 make the further point that in itself, an object lesson showing the progress of American skill in arts and industries. In December. Ik*, at a convention of onr Exposition National Board of Promotion, with delegates present from various parts of the country, Hon. M. V. Montgomery, then Com missioner of Patents, delivered an elaborate address upon this subject. I will file as "Ap pendix A a copy of his remarks upon that oc casion. A third permanent building greatly needed and which should be the outgrowth of the com ing Exposition is one for the Departmeut ot Agriculture. It was recommended by the Com missioner of Agriculture ia liu anuual report for the year 18S0. as follows: "I here take occasion to renew the recom mendation made relative to another depart ment building as being a necessity for tne ac commodation of its employes, the number of whom must necessarily be largely increased to be at all commensurate with the work to be done. This bulling should be erected upon the ground at present occupied by the gardens, in rear and at the sides of the existing department, it should form a hollow rectangular parallel ogram, with a front of about 1.000 feet by a depth ot about 500 feet, and should include nn interior covered court. The building itself -hould be K0 feet in width, with suitable halls, I Jr;\. and with a piazza of proper width around the four sides of the court. It should be tire proof and well-ventilated, and be arranged for offices, for the storage and handling ot seeds, and for the continuous exhibition of the agri cultural products of this great nation. "There should be provided, also, ample space .vithin for the display of all implement., em ployed in agricultural pursuits tandlamin lormed that working models will be furnished |jJ" the manufacturers thereof, if the Govern- I ment will provide the building.) The interior ! o?' this hollow parallelogram should bo covered I with a glass roof supported on pillars of surti- ' dent height to accommodate, as at the Kew Gardens, those trees and plants that are valu- . able for economic or ornamental purposes, i he early erection of such a building cannot be too strongly urged. Looking to its consum mation upon the scale suggested I have had Urawmgs prepared which are herewith sub mitted." I will file as nn appendix the plans of the proposed building, prepared by an able archi tect of New York. This building could, as recommended, and with propriety, be erected upon the ten acres of available ground south of the trout line of the present Agricultural Department. It is certainly one of the most beautiful building sites on the Governmental reservations of Washington, is worthy as is the subject, of a grand and permaneut structure, and would be particularly gratifying to the agriculturists of : tiie United States, wlio have during the past j four years, by resolutions at annual conven I tions, by correspondence, and the formal ac ceptance of membership in our Hoard of Pro I motion, earnestly advocated the proposed three Americas Exposition of Washington. Still another building greatly needed is a grand pub.ie hall for inauguration balls, and national an I international con ventioi.s. Several o'her permanent structures are much needed and eould lie utilizeu 10 great advan tage. but what I have mentioned are sufficient to illustrate the necessity. Viewed from the standpoint of economy as well as necessity, tho plan we advocate is, in our opinion, unanswerable, and will meet with the approval of both the press and tho public. CONSTITUTION At. AUTHORITY. I will not presume to address a committee of : Senators on the Constitutional authority to J > AGR M <>F MA ILATS AND PROPOSED DDITIONS. those three. an? all other cities have a vot-i m regard to the government of the District, while we in Washington are deprived of the privilege of suffrage. It is. therefore, the most repre sentative American city, and \a governed by the people of the whole country through their Senators and representatives in Congress. It wan, just one hundred years airo. selected by the American people as the seat of Govern ment, auu has ever since been the Nation's home. It bears the honored name of Washington, and is within the District named from the great discoverer. Columbus, iu whose honor the Exposition is to be held. llaif of its real estate and improvements, to the value of J150.000.000. is owned by the Government; the other $100,000,000 being owned by the people of the District. It is absolutely neutral ground commercially, which is a matter of unasaal importance in con sidering the claims of other cities. As it is neither a manufacturing nor commercial city, it has no foreign coruin -rce. hence New York. Philadelphia, Koston, Chicago. St. Louis. Cin cinnati. New Orleans. San Francisco, Nash ville. Kichmond. Savannah, Kausas City, Pitts burgh. Baltimore, and other industrial cities i idl. i/trio thr tr eie benrjit* of tlw Thrw Atiwricm 1 Krpo*ition. With the Exposition located at Washington, the various cities mentioned will have an equal chance in competition for Span ish-American trade, which is one of the lunda- j mental ideas of the movement, whereas, if lo cated in a manufacturing city, that place would have an undue aud unfair advantage. It is also, polit.cally. neutral ground, and as the Exposition of 1W2 will be held during the next Presidential campaign, it will naturally be freer from political influence if located in Wash ington. which is a disfranchised city, than if located in a Mate which is the battle-ground of American politics. It has an Exposition nucleus or plant to com mence with, which haa already cost over f50, OOO.uOO. I mean that the National Museum, j Smithsonian, Washington Monument, the Capi- j tol buildings, the l'atent Office, and the various j Department buildings, with their relics, treas ures of art. and practical working of the Gov- I eminent, art all practically an exhibit and a ! constant source of attraction to visitors. It is much more dignitied to keep these valuable . relics and exhibits at the seat of Oovarnment than to further engage in the traveling-show ! business by periodically depleting the National Musi um and Departments iu order to take Gov ernmental exhibits to temporary expositions iu other cities, as ha* frequently been done. To i state the case differeutly, the Government ! must go to the Exposition or the Exposition must j go to the Government. We believe the Ameri can people prefer the latter. In view of the I existing nucleus just mentioned, it is safe to : assert that the appropriation of Sl&.OOO.OOO, asked tor in the bill under consideration. is fully equivalent to ?:>0.000,000 spent in New ! York, Chicago or St. Louis. | Whatever money may bo appropriated for Exposition buildings at the National Capital will be a safe investment, for the buildings will be needed for all time for Governmental purposes, aud are not to be torn down and the material sold at a great sacrifice, as has usually i been dune at expositions in other cities. Washington is the capital of the oldest and foremost of the nineteen-indspendent sister nations of the Western Hemisphere, and, for this reason, the appropriate place for an Ex position uuder their joint auspices. The idea was eloquently expressed by Hon. A. M. j Noteldo. late Minister at Washington from > 1 Venezuela, who said: "The four hundredth an- . niversary of Columbus' discovery of the New : ? World could not be better celebrated than by , the inauguration of this Exposition in this I > grand Metropolis, where all the nations of the ACCCSMIIiLF. PARK. Our Board has taken no definite action in I regard to the location of the Exposition : grounds within tho District, preferring that it | be decided, an it must be, by a Governmental , commission. There are, however, nt least three available sites, one on Cm itol Hill in imd around Lin coln Park, another on Columbia Height over looking the city, another in the I'ark extend ing from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, together with the Potomac Flats, the Observatory grounds, and the property extending from the Observatory to the De partment of State. One of the most important features of a World's Fair is an easily accessible site, and to illustrate the wonderful advantages Washing ton has ill this respect over all other cities. I invite your attention to the accompanying dia gram illustrating the la?t mentioned site. The existing park extending from the Capi tol to the Monument and Executive Mansion i contains three hundred acres. Over rotcu i hundred more acres will be added by the re- I clainalion of the Potomac Flats, anil two hun- \ dred and twenty more can bo added by using tlie grounds of "the observatory, which is soon to be removed, and by condemning tho adjoin ing and comparatively unimproved property between F and 11 streets, and the State Depart ment and Observatory. These two hundred and twenty acres are above the flood line, well adapted to drainage and most desirable for permanent buildings. The whole park thus described contains one thousand two hundred and twenty acres and is without doubt the most accessible site 111 the world for visitors. All street car lines converge toward or run parallel with it. All steam lines from the North. South and West enter it, except the li. A O. 11.K.. and that adjoins it. The Poto mac Kiver faces it. All of the principal hotels (indicated upon the diagram by the round uots) are so near this park that not even a street car is needed to reach it. It is within I five minutes' walk, not only of these hotels, but of the principal boarding-houses. Nearly all of tho Governmental Departments are in or facing it, and, as I previously re marked, constitute an exposition nucleus or plant to tho value of $50,000,000. One of the ? great financial difficulties of expositions in i other cities has been the inaccessibility at night and the consequent loss of gate money. Now. 1 venture to say that if the Exposition is held in this park, and lighted with electricity at night, the attendance and receipts will be double what they would be if located in the suburbs. Another noticeable feature of this park is that while it is near the hotels and business centre it is entirely separate from the better residence portion of th<icity. An exposition thus located would not diRurb the quietude of citizens and blockade the street transportation lines to their residences as it would, lor in stance, if located in Central Park, New York. AuothtT striking feature of this site is that here the buildings will be of permanent value to the Government, hence the enormous waste which has most iuvar-.ably at to tided the re moval of buildings at other expositions will be avoided. In view of these facts, the Exposi tion. if located at Washington, cannot be other than a financial success. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. The capacity of the railways tributary to Washington from all sections of the country is practically unlimited, bat owing to a confusion of terms the facts have been misunderstood by the general public. I mean that the capacity of the roads themselves, which is ample, has been confused with that of the terminal facili ties, which is temporarily defective, but which can and will as a matter of business be spoeiuyca whatever city holds the ( xposition will require many more hotels ami that one, live, or ten million dollars will build hotels as cheaply and quickly here as elsewhere, arid that the money will, as a matter of business and profit, be readily forthcoming tor that purpose. That within 45 minutes' ride of the Exposition park, which is no longer time than from the center of most cities to their Exposition parks, we have tho city of Ualtiuiore with its hotels to draw upon. And i repeat that as a matter of business the hotel and boarding house supply will be equal to the demand as it was in Philadelphia in 1876. and to a greater extent than there in view of the permanent features of our exposition plan. NECESSITY FOB GOVERNMENTAL BUILDINGS. Vic have prepared no plans for building, be lieving the details of the Exposition should be left to a Governmental Hoard. Oil this point we simply invito your attention to the import ance and necessity of permauent buildings for various uees of the Government. First in order of importance is tho enlarge ment of the present National Museum into a Continental or Three Americas Museum. The present bui.ding, while comparatively new? not more than 7 years old, 1 think?ia so en tirely inadequate that there are enough an tiquities. relics, and exhibits stored away un packed to fill another building tho size of the present one. If this is the condition the first seven years it will, in 18'.?2, when exhibits of the antiquities, history, and civilization of the New World during the past 400 years come here as they will from Mexico. Central and South America, require a building or build ings at least ten times the size of the oresent one. On this point 1 will quote briefly from the oflieial report upon the condition and progress of the National Museum for the year ending June 00, 186G. by Prof. G. Crown Goode, the Assistant Secretary of tho Smithsonian In stitution, in charge of the Museum. He says: "Tho exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia was an event of great educational importance to the people of the United States; and not the least of its benefits were the lessons it taught as to tho possibilities for good in public museums. The objects which were given to the United States for its National Museum, at the close of the Centennial, were of much in trinsic value, but were still more important, in that tney led to the erection of a large building for the expansion of the museum itself." "It is, I think, possible to show that Wash ington may readily be made the seat of one of the greatest museums in the world. It will per haps be neither practicable nor desirable to gather together in Washington collections of ancient and medieval art. such as thoso which adorn the capitals of Europe; but a representa tive series of such objects will undoubtedly grow up. which shall tend to educate the public taste, and to promote, so far as possible, the study of the elements of art and tho history of civilization, as well as to forward the growth of the arts of design. This having been ac complished, the attention of the Museum shouid be directed mainly toward the exhibition of the geology and natural history of America, and its natural resources, to the preservation of memorials of its aboriginal inhabitants, and to the exposition of the arts and industries of America." The Exposition of 1892 can be made the step ping-stone to carrying ont this grand and use ful idea, and such buildings can with propriety be erected ill the rear of the Smithsonian and on the north of it as will be of permanent value. Professor Powell, of the Geological Survey, will, in his remarks, enlarge upon this idea. Another building greatly needed is one for an exhibit of working models of great Ameri i tare ntioas. This would be au exposition place tho proposed Exposition under the ex clusive control of the Federal Government, and to provide the necessary appropriation, for that is a matter with which you are per fectly familiar, but I respectfully invite your attention to a matter of tact iu this connection. For twenty years or more it has been the well settled policy of Congress to appropriate lib erally for expositions in the capitals of Europe. During the last Congress $2n0.000 were appro priated for th<* Exposition at Paris, $30,000 for Brussels, ?25.000 for Barcelona, and ?'tOO.OOO for Melbourne, Australia. While this action was in itself commendable and useful in stimulating the development of our foreign commerce, it is equally Constitutional t<> appropriate for an Exposition at our own National Capital. Fail ure to do so is. in our opinion, a discrimination against America. IMPORTANCE OF THE EXPOSITION. On the subject of the importance and value of the proposed Exposition the American peo ple have already, through their Boards of Trade, governors, mayors. State granges, na tional conventions, and public press, spoken in no uncertain terms. Never before was public sentiment so unauimous in support of an his torical and patriotic movement, aud why? Primarily because the American people are justly proud of their 400 years of history aud progress, and secondly because the outflow of American gold to Europe for various purposes is assuming too large proportions. Over ten years ago, according to an official estimate sub mitted to the Department of State by one of our consuls in Europe, the annual average spent by Americans in Europe for purposes of travel, pleasure, art. and education was about $105,000,000 in gold. During the past year, owing to the unusual exodus of Americans to Europe, largely owing to the Paris Exposition, it is safe to assert that $200,000,000 were spent abroad for similar purposes. Now why not re verse this situation by making our own National Capital the Paris of America in beauty and at tractions, the Berlin of America in educational advantages, and the Home of America in art. This, Mr. Chairman, is the spirit and tendency of Cm movement we advocato, and we know that it has tho hearty approval aud indorse ment of the American people. From the commercial standpoint the import ance of the movement is equally great. For years and years Europe has monopolized the foreign commerce of the eighteen sister He publics south of us, which annual commerce amounts to upwards of $1,000,000,000 in value, exports and imports combined. We supply less than one-sixth of the trade demand of those valuable markets, and Europe over five-sixths. The recent Paris Exposition, in which the Spanish-American Republics played a leading part, has had a tendency to stimulate the European monopoly. Sound public policy re quires that the Exposition be counterbalanced by one at our owu National Capital, and that the leading and conspicuous feature be the development of more intimate commercial and social relations between the Three Americas. An Exposition based upon this idea will be the most profitable investment the United States has ever made. On the 31st of July, 1886, a member of your Honorable Committee, the Senator from Con necticut, said, upon the floor of the Senate: "As to the value of international expositions, conducted with proper prudence and wisdom, 1 have not the slightest doubt in the world that they pay abundantly the nations that hold thcin. Never has one been held that, in many respects, has not absolutely revolution ized the industries of the country which held it" These remarks may be applied with double force to the movement we advocate, for it is an Exposition with an idea, and the idea is greater than the exposition, in that it una at the establishment of an American hemispheri cal policy baaed upon more intimate com mercial and social relations between nineteen American sister nations. Whether the Exposition will be directlr self supporting. the gate receipts e-jual to the ex penditures. is. in view of the indirect benefits, a matter of minor importance. We believe, however, it will be the greatest financial suc cess of any exposition in history, tor the reason that our plan contemplates permanent build ings. and therefore no loss in their removal, as m nearly all previous expositions. Whatever profits there may be, whether direct or indirect, will, if located at the Na tional Capital, accrue to the whole 60.000.0IX) people, and for this reason our plan is the only [ fair one to be executed bv Federal appropria tion. In conclusion. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Committee. 1 beg to say that the corre spondence of our board.extending over a period of nearly four years and supplemented by a unanimous and favorable report bv the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, shows that the 4ti States and Territories of this country, the 1* sister Republics of the other Americas, and Spain and Italy in th? Old World, expect and ?re anxious to be invited to the commemora tion of the coming 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. More than two years ago the Government of Spam took official ac tion upon the subject and. through its Minister of state, notitied Hon. J. L. M. Currv, our mm isU r at that time at the court of Madrid, that it had decided "to take the initiative in celebrat ing in the most solemn manner tlio centenary of the discovery ot America in the year and also, "that Sp.uu is ready at the same time to take part in any other celebration aud sol emnity wtin-h may be undertaken on th^ Amer ican continent to commemorate the great event." This, gentlemen, is practically an official hint from the Government of Spain that they would l'ke to be invited, aud in our humble opinion a becoming national pride requires that the old est nnd foremost American nation take the ini tiative in celebrating the event in a manner worthy of the greatness, grandeur, and glory of the New World which Columbus discovered. Remarks by Myron M. I'arker, Presi dent of the Washington llourilof Trade. Mr. Chairm'n find Hewt it-men: For a period of four y< ars the National Hoard of Promotion have prosecuted tin ir work from a National and patriotic standpoint. It was gratifying to them to know that their efforts had received the approval of the Governors of most of the States. It was not until May of last year that this subject of n National and In ternational Exposition to be held in 1$W2 as sumed a financial nspect. We were then told that the city of New \nrk had subscribed some thing like five millions of dollars as a guar antee fuud for this Exposition. This was very shortly followed by the city of Chicago, which represented they had a guarantee fuud, or an alleged guarantee fuud. ut about six tnillious of dollars, thus going New York one better. St. Louis hUo gave their assurance of commercial strength. All of these cities, it will be seen, stem to have reduced this patriotic question to one of finance, and to have met it as one whoso success would depend upon that city which could bid the most money tor the privilege of locally entertaining the Nation's guests in cele brating a National event. The National Hoard of Protnoton felt that this position was uuworthy of a great Govern ment. but realized that it had assumed su. li proportions that it had to be met. The matter ?an therefore discu sed as to what course should be pursued. It was first proposed that we undertake to raise mouev by subscription, as has beeu dene in New York, Chicago, mid ?St. Lojlis. But after reflection and cousu.ta tion it" was decided to pursue a more dignified course, and to memorialize Congress to permit the citizens of Washington to raise the neces sary money by way oi taxation. It was said that it was easy in New York, or even in Washington. Chicago, or St. Louis, to say that they had on paper a guarantee fuud of from five to fifteen millions. It will be recog nised by every member of this Committee that it would not be difficult for a merchants' club to say. we will give five million dollars, or a maiiufacturt rs' club to say, we wilt give five million. Hut are these millions always paid when so Bubcribed? llie people of Washington are prepared to submit to this Committee a more reliable pledge ol their financial respon sibility. They make this ph dge in good faith and in such maimer as to leave no question on the part of the city or the National lioard of Pro motion to faithfully pc: lorui ail the} promise. They therefore memorialize Congress to this effect: ??The undersigned, resident tax-payers of the District of Columbia, respectfully pct.tiou your honorable body t??r legislation providing lor the holding of a Three Americas Exposition at the National Capital in under the exclu sive direction aud coutrol of the Federal Gov ernment; and if. iu the selection of the locality for holding such an Expositiou, it shall be the sense of Congress that the question should in any degree depend upon the offering of a guar antee fund by the advocates of the city to be chosen, then we pray your honorable body to authorize the issuance of $15.0110.000 of the bonds of the District of Columbia, or so much thereof as may be found necessary for the pur pose, to bear such rate of interest and to ma ture at such time as to Congress shall seem best, to be sold at not less than par, the pro ceeds to be paid into the Treasury of the United States as a fund for the expenses of holding such an Expositiou at the city of Washington; any unexpended balance thereof, together with the receipts over and above the expenses of said Exposition, to be placed to the credit of the Di.-trict of Columbia for the liqui dation of any iudebt< dness of said District. "This memorial is signed upon the express agreement that it is not to be presented to Con en f-s until tax-payers of the District of Colum bia representing a majority of the taxable prop erty therein shall first attach their signatures." Now. as an endorsement to the proposition, I hold here in my hand memorials signed by the tax-payers of the city of Washington rep resenting over seventy-five million of dollars, over one-half of the taxable property of the city of Washington. On this memorial I see such names as C. C. Glover, of Biggs A C'a.; Samuel Norment. President Central National Pink; II. H. Warner. President Columbia Na tional Hank; The estate of the late Mr. Corco ran; C. C. Willard, Henry A. Willard, Matthew G. Emery. President Second National Bank; Thomas E. Waggaman, E. Kurtz Johnson. President Citizens' National Bauk; John K. Mc Lean. Gardner G. Hubbard, and other similar men of wealth. In contrast to these large tax payers you will also find taxable property of three dollars, showing conclusively that this sentiment and method is not only popular with the rich but with the comparatively poor of our city. Had the legislatures of the States of New York, Illinois, or Missouri, by legislative enactment, authorized the cities ot those States uow so prominent in this question to I have raised this money by taxation, we should have bad faith in their ability and intention to have put up as a guarautee fund these ten or fifteen million dollars about which the people I of this country and of every country of the world have heard so much of lute. We now say to this committee, to Congress, and to the people of this country that we in Washington ask permission, if the Government thinks it best, that the expense should be so borne to, by taxation, raise this guarautee fund of fifteen million dollars, and we further agree that all direction of this National and Interna tional Expositiou shall be left entirely in the hands of the Government, and that it shall in no sense assume a local aspect. Remarks of Major John W. Powell, Di rector ot the U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commjttn: I appear before you in a somewhat different attitude from that which I have assumed at previous meetings of committees on this mat ter. The last three years I have appeared be fore the committees of the Senate and House of Representatives to advocate an Exposition hav ing certain ends in view. It is not necessary for me today to take up the line of thought which I have hitherto followed to show the in terest and importance of a National Exposition. That seems practically to have been decided by the voice of the people, and a determination has been reached that such an Exposition would be fitting and proper to commemorate the dis covery of America. Now I wish to present another view of the matter. It is very easy to have an Exposition which will be of great interest for a few months, and really of great value to tho people in the dis semination of information, and perhaps in the acceleration of the trade and business of the country, yet at the same time, when the Expo sition is over, to have the materials immedi ately disappear, while there may be no real permanent results coming therefrom. This wonld be unfortunate, almost a calamity. In the expositions which have been held throughout the world usually some feature has been adopted by which some lasting good may result therefrom. In London there ultimately resulted a great collection of natural history and the fine arts. At Paris they have from this last summer's exposition practically collected and established a great archaologic museum, so that there might be permanent and inefface able results fsom that exposition. Other exposi tions throughout the world hare had enduring results in the same way. In regard to the one held in Philadelphia some years ago, these results were saved at an enormous cost, because of the peculiar circum [ Continued on Eighth Page.] Brt To Thf. Bf*T AdYAKTAOK.
