r bavo been raised AMI secnred Rut
one and balfmillion II addition ouobt
T to be furnished prior % the opening Of
the exhibition.
The state OF Pennsviyania and the
city of Philadclphia have appropriated
two millions and half towards the
erection of certain of buildings. and
the citizens of Pennl3rlvania and the
Railroad Companies at PHILADELPHIA
have subscribed for about two million
two hundred thousand dollars of the
stock in addition. and tho remainder of
the sum secured, say e7OO. 900, has been
subscribed by other States and their
citizens.
As the case stands now It is cstima-
ted that the capital furnished. that is
not to be represented by stock, and the
income from the sale Of rights and
privileges, and medals. and tho products
of the sale of the buil'lings at the close
Of the exhibition. wii;-..ii1ount TO about
three million five hundred dollars, so
that the stock issued will not exceed
four TO four and a half millions.
All the receipts for admission fees, at
so cents each. will be applicable TO the
redemption of this stock and it will
be perceived that four millions of en-
tries would nav fiffy per cent. ON the
stock and 5000. 600 would redeem il
| in full. IL is estimated that each per.
son visiting the exhibition will enter
three or more times so that the persons
entering will not number more than
one-tbird of the entries.
The total number of entries at Paris,
in 1867. counted over 10000. 900. and
at Vienna the visits counted Z .636, 900
and even at these low figures. in all
probability. our stock will be paid in
full. We have never urged subscrip-
tions 10 the stock solely on the ground
that the money would be paid back !;
but we deem il proper enough to show
what the Indications in that direction
are. If the States and the people will
not furnish the capital. as a means of
bonorinp the memory of the great and
good men who founded the Republic
and TO protect the good name of that
Republic as now committed to foreign
Governments, they will not do so even
TO make money and IL is said that

| wish could dwell ON the benefits
OF the exhibition, but my time will not
suffice. If we are to Judge by what
tho exhibition of 1851 did for England
the Centennial Exhibition will be
a great thing for the American artizans
and manufacturers. 1t will impart,
and they will receive, valuable lessons.
We claim for the Centennial that it has
already exercised an educating innu-
ence in all that relates to useful inven-
tons and matters that tend to the pro-
motion of the well-being of mankind.
1t has already exerted a harmonizing
influence, as we all perceive and that
influence will be continued. Its emf
nently peace measure, and will be
conducted in the interests of peace and
good will, national and international.
But gentlemen, how is New Hamp-
shire to have her part in this glorious
work. win she furnish her share as
a State, or will her citizens do so ?
Either will be satisfactory to the Cen
tennial managers, but they have
pressing need for prompt action.
The population Of your State is 1885,
900. The quota apportioned to you,
under the act OF Congress, was $4,000.
But that was on the basis of ten mill
ions of dollars, and because of the re-
ductiop of the capital and the distance
to the exhibition grounds 10 cents per
as the full share of your State and
venture to predict that no man in the
State will object to an investment on
