slightest regret this rupture Of diplomatic relations
There wass perhaps never yet diplomatic rupture
contaminated In less eeremonious manner than this
No explanation to prevent IL step to stop II, and
apprehension at its natural corolisries.
All right Gentlemen, two years ago, there was
much alarm in certain quarters when the idea of such
rupture was hEst srggested Now that Ii has happen

notice OF IL When FIVE months ago. scarcely arrived

Hungary is the axlepont OF that great crisis, the origin

native land and of neighboring Italy and Germany
where the question Will be decided whether the United

own future for their security and probably tight
sipale.handed against hostile world | have shown
that it is either absurd chimera dangerous taacy
to believe that the United States connected they are
by thousand ties to the outward world, could remain
either unaffected by, Indifferent at the condition OF
that outward world. have shown in word, that the
political social and commercial interests of the United
States their power their principles and their character
only justify but imperousy require that this great
Republic should grant charter to the hostile priu
clpe of despo,sm to regulate the condition OF manknd
that they should take the position OF power ON EARTH
and become part ami parcel OF any great political trans
action which affects the condition and history OF the
world
Gentlemen experience of certain characteristic facts
has induced repeatedly TO warn the public opinion
of this great young republic against becoming too much
attached to a na.erallsm But commerce Partakes OF
the dangerous defects OF maieriaism only when 10
spirit Is bent to momentary individual pront ut every
prce-nothDg caring about the tuture-noshng about
that soiditv Of Commercial relations from which the
prosperity of country greatly depends. The adyentu
rous money hunting at every price is not yet commercc
it does not deserve the highly respectable name Of com
merce-t Is but money hunting, and nothing else. But
understand IT, is that noble spirit OF en-
erpse with Its fingers applied to the pusation OF pres
the future the heart warmed by noble sentiments of
patriotism and philanthropy connecting individual
profit with the development OF natural resources and OF
national welfare--spreading over the masses OF the
people Ike the dew OF heaven upon the earth and
breaking road for national activity upon which the
flower prosperity will grow from generation to gen.
Grafton Such commercial spirit is a rich source OF
national happiless-the guarantee OF countrys iu-
turethe pillar of its power-the vehicle OF civilization,
and the locomotive Of principles.
Let NJ. exemplity the difference between that noble
benefcent spirit Of and the merely material
money hunting which falsely usurps the name OF com
merce Let me exemply that difference by quoting
two facts;

a of speculation gained ground In the old world
worthy Of the execraton Of humanity mean the
speculation in loan shares-the paper commerce,
called stockjobbing 1t Ia the shame bound upon
our country's brow that such commerce became
a political power earth, and interruptions game
sters specializing upon the ruin Of their neghbors
hold the political thermometer OF peace and war In
their criminal hands. To be that Is also spec
ulaiion, and to be sure very adventurous one
Individual profit in the form OF the grossest material
ism Is its aim il makes men rich as by enchantment
over night But il Is not commerce. Il deserves not the
name OF commerce Il does not contribute 70 public well
fare il does not augment the elements OF public pros

unproductiye, imaginary wealth from one hand into
another without augmentng the stock OF national pro-

Of the character OF nation when the Interests OF that
speculation has the slightest influence, or taken into
the slightest In the regulation OF countrys
policy That example has It's full weight with every
other kind Of mere money hunting iwould be the
greatest fault TO reg late country policy according
10 the interests Of that class OF worshppers
of the almighty dollar who but look for momentary
profit not caring for their faherland and humanity
nothing for the fndces-noting about the tears and
execraiions of miien,-if only thst condition remains
intact which gives them individual proht-though that
condition be the misfortune OF world. Wherever that
class of money hunters al every price is Influential
there Is disease in the social condition Of the commu
nifty It in vain to complain against the dangerous
doctrines OF socialism long that class OF money
hunters has any influence upon politics. kothschids
has done more the spread OF socialism than is most
passionate retsiners.
Take on the other side, the contrasting fact Of the
Erie Canal remember well how short sigted men
were terrified, when in the councils Of the Empire
state first was started the idea Of that gigantic enter
prise And now when we hear that its net proceeds
amount TO about three millions Of dollars year-when
we see the almost unbroken line Of boats on it-when
we see Buffalo becoming the heart OF the West the pull
