HENDRICKS SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: Tou will no
doubt regard it as appropriate in responding
to this toast to refer to some of the circum-
stances that especially contribute to our coun-
try's greatness and power. Some of the i'm
portant influences and agencies must, how
ever, be omitted. l cannot SO much as make
mention of all. The railroads, telegraphs and
telephones have been heretofore sufficiently
discussed, but with your permission and ap-
proval we will take a journey on some of the
great railroad lines Shall 1t be from Boston to
San Francisco? Seven days and and nights
will pass as the train flies onward, before we
hear the ceaseless murmur of the Pacific. Such
a Journey from the Paris coast would carry
us beyond Europe and far into Asia. The line
of our travel marks and measures the great
extent of our country. The same flag re-
mains over us. Applause.
He then described journey over the route
mentioned and concluded: Shall we return by
Washington? Perhaps 1t would b, Of interest
to witness something of the strife between
the belligerent elements OF the Republic
can party. My sympathies were with
the stalwarts. / thought this move SINGER
and honest, and also, they seemed to be the
under dog in the fight. Our journey is ended.
What have we observed? This we can say:
Our country is great and strong, because it
has great and strong people. we have jour-
neyed among the people and observed their
characteristics engaging in useful and honora-
BILE industry. They I'LL the valleys, seeking
homes, subsistence and wealth, They climb
the mountain sides. This great qualities that
characterize our people are the result, as
suppose, of the commingled blood OF
the strongest nations. They are irresistible in
the pursuits of peace; invinc1ble IN war,
Barbarism in Russia and cruelty IN England
will stimulate the spirit Of immigration 10
these states from all parts OF Europe and our
population will be increased at greater rate
than ever. We have also Observed in our
Journey the great variety of climate, OF SOIL
and of production. Each section is develop.
ing those industries to which it Is best
adopted.
You gentlemen, who have before travelled
over the great northwest, have seen with won.
der and admiration the extent and value OF
our agricultural productions, while OF
the north have rejoiced at the in
creased cotton growth OF the south.
maintain an honorable and friendly rivalry for
the greatest success in their respective pro-
auctions. Cotton in the South and corn In
the North each claim to be king. They are 60
great, so powerful, and contribute so largely
to hold the balance of trade in our favor with
other countries, that each may we'll claim
sceptre in the excellence of quality and in the
quantity produced. Each is almost the
exclusive product of this country
and each may securely rely upon the wants o.
mankind to supply market. That product
which always commands on market Is the
king.
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen, while with
grateful pride we are considering the vast ex.
tent of our country and the great variety and
enormous value of its Productions, we are ad'
monished that the purest Of our pa.
triots and the wisest of our statesmen have
expressed their fears and profound anxiety
lest out of these should come jealoafie!
and antagonisms. No danger neet
be felt from that source, If we stand by oul
nation and form of government 1t was thu
child of patriotism, and wisdom and expert
ence has proven it well suited to our condition
1t is madness to hope consolidated and single
authority can maintain a peaceful gov
eminent over q country 30 extended
and with productions and interests SO varied.
If we but maintain the constitutional author.
ity of the United States and preserve to each
state the right 10 regulate whatever belongs
to itself alone, we need fear no troubles arts
ing from sectional jealousies,. however much
our territory may be extended or our produc'
tions increased. [Great applause
