Mr.. BANKS explained the objects Of the amendment Of
the JOINT resolution. Tho government Or the United
States he said had never made any appropriation for
purpose OF this kind until the exhibition Of 1857
was proposed had government taken the initiative in
industrial exhibitions. In all ages Of the world and
among all nations they had been popular institutions not
governmental institutions The means Of appealing to
government or 10 public opinion had been the exhbI
ton 6y the people Of the fruits Of their industry Thus
whereverths common people had desired 70 impress
governments the idea OF their importance they had

gagged the attention Of all nations That exhibition
established on guarantee made by individual citizens
against any loss in the announcement which IL should
give TO It, Tho Paris Exposition OF 1855 and the London
Exhibition Of 1882 and the Hamburg Exhibition Of 1853
proceeded on that Idea. But the great man who
now directed the affairs Of France had for the
first time in the history Of the world conceived

the governments Of other nations were Interested
In presenting the productions OF the industry of their
