Emperor William Hopeful Of the Con-
tinuauce of Peace In Europe.
BERLIN, October 22.-The reichstae
opened to-day. Won Boetticher, vice presi.
dent OF the Prussian ministry, read the
emperor's speech from the throne.
The address says: TIE active attention
OF the present reichstag has been especially
directed to securing peace abroad and at
home, and the tasks OF the forthcomin, ,
session will be in the same direction. When
the reichstag met In 1887, the foremost
object was the consolidation OF the defen.
sive powers OF the iatherland. The reich.
stag, with a patriotic appreciation OF the
situation, applied itself thereto. Your co
operation to this end will be again claimed
in order to develop the effici6ncy Of the
army. Its readiness for action in accord
ance with whatever circumstances may
arise, will thereby impart to the efforts OF
the emperor and his exalted allies for the
preservation Of peace, a weight which is
their due in the council Of nations. a bill
will be presented by ythegovernmenta amend.
ibg the military law OF May 3, 1874. It
will provide for fresh distribution OF the
arm and is intended to readiust in the
interest OF the training and conduct OF the
army, the inequalities OF the organiza.
tion which have arisen through strengthen.
ing the army and the disDlacement of
troops from time to time. This cause and
the corresponding expansion OF naval
power will demand additional expenditure
set forth in the budget. The financial
statement to be submitted will present not
an uncomfortable increase in the parricu-
lar contribution OF the several states to
the army compared with those Of the cur.
rent financial year. Nevertheless these
contributions will not greatly exceed the
sums to the deral state from imperial
revenue. The Socialist and thanking bills
were also announced to be introduced.
The speech refers to the suppression OF
the slave trade in East Africa, and pro-
poses the abolishment Of slavery in 2 lhzi-
bar. A special department is to have
charge OF colonial affairs and be formed to-
relieve the foreign Office of excessive work.
The hopes expressed by the emperor 10 the
ricbstag on November %, 1888, that with
Gods help the peace OF Europe would be
not only has been realized, but
gained strength as regards the future, owing
to the personal relations which the emper-
or has since cultivated with the rulers OF
friendly allies, thereby helping to strengthen
tire confidence felt abroad in the honest
love OF peace animating Germany's policy,
and justifying the belief that European
peace, based on existing treaties, God
helping, will BIZ maintained during 1890.

Chas. B. Flint's Speech.

Charles r. Flint, one of the American
deegates said that the master minds OF
this continent have always recognized the
natural alliance which should exist be-
tween the independent government OF this
hemisphere. The dealings between the
people OF the Americas should be direct,
without foreign Intervention. For the
want of the proper mechanism OF exchange
our purchases from South America are paid
for by drafts on London bankers. We
should establish our own standard, and il
this cougress iormulates a system of inter.
American exchange produces for the coin.
age OF a dollar which shall be the standard
for dealings between the countries whose
representatives are here, it will
accomplish "a practical result and
place in the disposition OF the people coin
symbolizing the national fraternity OF the
Americas. Referring to the efforts to ex-
tend trade between the neighboring states,
Mr. Flint said: I'VE have been met by the
statement that the members of the inter-
national congress are washing time ende W.
oring to extend trade Until this country
admits South American products free OF
duty. In reply I call your attention to the
fact that the United States has already
reduced it's tariff 30 that over eighty per
cent. OF the produce coming from the
countries represented in this congress Was
admitted free OF duty, which leaves less
than twenty per cent, with which to trade
for reciprocity. We purchased last
year from the countries south
Of the United States pro-
ducs TO the value OF $1,000, 600,
What is deplorable is that to pay for that
produce we had to remit $1l2, ,0O0, 900 in
cash to Europe, where our Southern neigh.
bors purchased over S5 per cent. OF the
manufactured goods which they required
from abroad. Instead OF sending their
orders to Europe we ask them to purchase
Of US in exchange for what we purchase
from them, the manufactured products
and supplies which we are showing them
and in moving to extend our commercial
relations. Let us proceed by simultane-
.ously developing the facilities in many di,
rsctions by periecting an international
system OF exchange; by showing that we
can produce honest goods at fair prices; by
creating system OF banking; by recipro'
city treaties; by improving the communi-
cation by mail and cable.
