Secretary Sherman's speech i'm New
Work.

WHAT he SAID ABOUT THE NATIONAL PROSPERITY
secretary sherman was the guest OF the New
YORK Chamber OF Commerce at its annual din
ner last night, where he made a speech. He
said: our foreign commerce Is Increasing with
the balance largely In our favor. our domestic
commerce Is so large that all modes or trans
portation, 10y land and water, are fully en-
ployed. Labor is fairly and pro1tably employed,
Capital Is hopeful and confident, and freely
seeks new adventures Great crowds OF emil
grants come TO us TO better their conditions
while contributing TO our wealth. Our popula-
ton approaches 81, 600 600 OF people The mime
raj resources OF our country are greater than the
Widest imaginings OF a few years ago. Taxes
that three years ago yielded barely enough rev.
enue TO meet current expenses, In March last
yielded, without increase OF rate. surplus rev.
enue or s14,000,000 In April SIP, 600 0OO and WILL
no doubt, during the present year. yield
over Sl00,0OO,G00. Our four per cent bonds
six per cent bonds averaged for q
period OF several years 1 also con-
graduate you that we have now the nearest
approach TO sound currency that we have
ever had. IL Is a reproach TO US that three
quarters of our foreign commerce is conducted
under foreign flags To correct this should be
the primary object OF American statesmen and
encouraged and, IL necessary, ships should be
admitted like other foreign merchandise at such
rates or duty and with such facilities as will
enable us TO compete for the trade OF the world.
The rapid changes made during the last few
years have greatly advanced the building OF
iron ships In this country, and IL you can aid in
promoting this great object you Will complete
the triumph OF American industry. Then our
agriculture, commerce and manufactures sup
porting each other, and alike developing all In
oustr1es, VIII make this great city the center or
international exchange"
