WARNER MILLERs REMARKS.
Warner Miller spoke in part follows:
Allow me to c9ngraIuate you on an improvement
Years: on an increased output of all our leading
industries on the re-employ ment OF large numbers
of laborers, wages nearly quite UP to the
standard OF 1892: the increased demand and ad
vanced prices Of our principal agricultural products
turn of confidence in every department, OF business
which is the necessary fore.unner Of the return OF

can House Of Representatives in power RepuDl
can majority assured IA the senate ana the GER
tainty Of the election of Republican President
next year, We may unhesitaungly prepare for
greater activity in our manufacturing business and
for increased development OF al our natural re
sources. such mining and agriculture winch or
necessity give profitable employment TO all lines OF
transportation now eXisune and necessltate me
ward a period Of prosperity, the equal Of which
We nave never known ana but few have dreamed to
manufactures exceeds mat Of any other nation by
many million dollars annually. We able not
only to supply all the necessities Of our own peo-
pie, but in many lines Of production we can ana
do produce d large surplus, which can only find
a profitable market beyond the limits Of our shores
We are compelled to seek foreign market for our
surplus cotton, wheat ana meat products: We
must. therefore. look abroad for an outlet Tor our
present surplus and for the increase which VIII
come with returning prosperity.
Unfortunately the change In Administration in
1872 not only stopped the negotiations OF iuTtAer
reciprocity treaties but brought about the abiOsa-
ton of all those which had been negotiated by the
previous Administration. The nations with whom
We had negotiated those treaties Of reciprocity were
treated with scant courtesy, and IN many cases
even with dscourtesy. The party that abrogated
them acted in most summary and undlploInauc
manner. and trade relations and diplomatic re-
lations with All those countries, instead OF being
improved were greatly injured. 50 much so that 1t
doubtful whether treaties OF reciprocity can
ever be successfully negotiated again. believe
that the American people are iuly determined 10
maintain just and wise protective tdIlH system,
that they are asO determined to DO Whatever snail
be necessary for opening to our people the mar
kets of all the countries and Islands lying To- the
south. and that they are equally determined either
through governmental action through the VOlun-
ragua Canal at the earliest possible moment
thereby giving 20 our people the opportunity to
Yea en- out beyond our own borders ana 70 take ana
firmly hod fair share Of the entire trade OF ihe
world.
