MR. SCHURZS ADDRESS.
Mr., CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN: : thank you
from my heart for the kind greeting which you have
given me. | was informed yesterday by my irlend
the Secretary OF State, in casual way
that I was expected TO speak before the Cham
Der Of Commerce on the duties Of economy. He
expressed himself in somewhat vague ana
unreliable way as no is deep in diplomacy and took
what he said with certain grain Of allowance came
10 the conclusion that lie belongs TO that modern school
Of diplomats who puzzle the world most sorey by telling
what is true The only thing which the Secretary OF
State told very positively was that had to limit my
self to ten minutes.
The wisdom Of economy Is the most popular thing in
the word-:at is say in the abstract but as soon as
il comes to lis in the concrete and begins to pinch us
ceases TO be popular altogether / think it Is we'll
known fact that each political party insists upon 1t that
the other must be very egonomna but as soon as the
outs become the ns and the ins become the outs
