to employment, when you obtain place
that suits you, or even if it do not suit you
In ali respects, make yourself SO useful that
your employers cannot do without you.' All
young men or young women who make this
effort in earnest will be almost sure of
success, while the careless, Indifferent
ones, who show no special desire to
advance their. employers interest in a
fair and honorable way, will probably soon
find themselves out of employment in
the strong competition that exists in all bust
ness nowadays no employer can afford to
pay for fair services without receiving them.
The policy Pay as you go, is precursor Of
success in all undertakings and in nearly
every department of life-private as well as
public. Many run into debt and are ruined
because they obtain credit-and the creditor
is often ruined with the debtor. 1t might be
well for the community if both sellers
and buyers were to attempt to enforce this
policy. But enough. l thank you-ladies
and gentlemen, girls and boys, employers
and employed-for the pleasure | have re-
ceived in being among you tonight, and,
though it is the first, | hope it is not to be
the last time"

Mr. Hinkson then rose and said: al wish to
offer toast but, before doing so, desire to
make brief remark with reference to the
occasion which brings us together. here to-
night, and which affords this very happy and,
| believe, profitable meeting of employers,
employees and invited guests. | believe this
class of social entertainment and mingling of
employers and employees step in the right
direction, and that its more general adoption
would greatly subserve the interests of
both classes thus meeting together and create
stronger community of interest and senti-
ment between them. This firm within few
years has become famous, not only In this
city, but throughout the State, from one end
to the other, and also throughout the adjoin-
ing States and Territories and their estab-
lishment is one Of which this city should be
proud. 1t is great school, and you will find
everything in the establishment moves like
clock work-systematic and prompt: But,
among the other things before us tonight. we
should not forget our beautiful and prosper
Gus city. L offer this toast-'The City of
Sacramento
Mr.. Turner was called upon and responded
as follows / have been very much pleased
with this meeting this evening. l think it
an honor, not only to the firm of Weinstock
& Lubin and those attached to the estab-
lishment, but also to the city of Sacramento.
AS Mr.. Hinkson said, the method of business
in the establishment of this firm is good
school, practical school, and L venture to
say that any young man young woman can
learn more there in three months than in any
business college in twelve. | was pleased
with the sentiment which the speech of Mr..
Weinstock embodied: | was glad to observe
that while he believes it ris hit to exact from you
faithful performance of your duties, he also
recognizes that the employer has mutual re-
sponsibilities. l hope to see this feeling |
growing everywhere. 1t is the one, and the
only one, that can settle the question be-
tween labor and capital. Every man, every
woman, every boy, every girl have their du-
ties to perform. If they are poor they still
have their duties. A man of wealth is called
upon to administer it worthily, and his duties
and responsibilities increase with the increase
of his wealth, and if he is not an honest ad-
ministrator, sooner or later ruin will overtake
him. 1t may appear for time that his chica.
merry of trade succeeds, but it will
not succeed long, for there is nothing
but honest trade and honest deal
ngs that can lead to successful results"
In conclusion the speaker paid rich tribute
to the city of Sacramento, and said that he
had travelled largely over the world, and
while the climate of the city had some disad
vantages, as witnessed at the present time,
yet, as a whole, he had never seen its su-
perior, and he thought that Milton must
have had our beautiful city in mind when he
wrote
The land of the cedar and vine,
Where the flowers ever blossom aud beams ever
shine.

Recitation. by Alexander Lyons
Toast-"The New Year." by Charles E.

Mr. Weinstock here arose and Ladies
and gentlemen, before going further | wish
to announce that our place of business will
not open tomorrow morning until half-p s
o'clock" This was greeted with prolonged
applause.
Song, with banjo accompaniment, by Ber-
nard H. Chapman, 1.-The Sailors Wife,"
with comical song as encore, both of which !
were excelently rendered and received with |
great applause.
Toast-"D. Lubin may his coming trip |
East be successful and prosperous, and may
he have happy return to his home, by j.
S. Osgood, which was responded to by Mr.. |
Lubin, as follows: 81 thank Mr.. Osgood for
the toast, and will only say, that which you
have to do, study well. Study by the same
sharp, close, investigating method that the
scientist does when he places an object under
the microscope. He magnifes its parts |
until they assume a real vision, real OBJ |
iect that which was to the naked eye but |
a moment ago naught appears in its full
ness. By the same method search out all |
that pertains to that which you have to do. |
Apply to that the same notice, searching |
and learning, and that which was before out |
of sight, out of reason, out of the mind will |
become clear, intensified, enlarged, and your
path of duty will be simple and clear one
The eye will become so trained that where |
the inexperienced will see nothing the trained |
eye will see much. The ear will hear very |
much more by reason of its training aud cul- |
ture We often hear that the North Ameri- !
can savage has his eyes so clear and piercing
that he can see much further and stronger !
than his civilized brothers, and his ear is
trained with that acute sense of hearing that |
he will hear where his civilized brother will |
find quietness But what does he hear and |
what does he see? What has his training |
amounted to? He hears his foe approaching, |
and sees his foe. 1t is naught but enmity, |
strife and bloodshed. The civilized man |
does not train his ear to hear |
foe It's the struggle of intelligence against |
ignorance. do not mean to say that all of |
you should become scientists, but you should |
become fully acquainted with the science of |
everyday life, and reach the point of indie
pendence, which can only be obtained by be-
coming acquainted with every single item
connected with your business. Train all your
faculties to knowledge of the method of ac-
complishing this and you will then become
power within yourselves, more value to your
selves, and will find those around you much
inferior who have not observed these laws.
