menfs-A Hint to the silver states.

DENVER. Sept. ~-couptroIier Of she
Currency J. II Eckels was the guest Of
n0uor 81 a banquet given this evening st
Tee Brown Palace hotel by the Denver
Clear1rg House Association. over I1 dis
ttagalshea citizens q Colorado. statesmen
and others. whose names are associated
with TIE upbuilflng of this city ard the
state. ssre present.
-onptrol.er Ecksls made ar afser~6ln-
nsr speech. 70 which close attention was
paid ~ hts hearers. and az SIS close he was
warmly applaaded.
Mr. Ecksls began by emphasizing Tire
fact that citizens ~ ali parts OF the coun-
Try we're actUa1ea oy the same spirit-a
ceslrs for the good OF the whole country.
and that no matter how aereely the fight
between parrlssns may be wagad there
= no danger Of It's weakening the founda-
tons OF the republic. After pleading for a
continuation OF the feeling OF mutual con-
haencs. 80 long maintained between the
East and the West. he said:
1T viii not do for the East to boast OF
It's possession OF the surplus capital Of the
country. which has come with its oppOr-
tunity, or the West to point with over
wyeninE pride 70 aEs stupendous resources
ana It's wonderful advancement. The
wealth Of the one but continues 20 diTnln-
Ism II not employed. and that Of the other
Is Of no AVIAN II not developed. The adj
Naneemenf Of both follows the same path
way and centers in the same interests. /
have tonight no plea To make for the coun-
rrys accumulated capital on the one hand,
nor for its undeveloped riches on the 9TH
ef, except the plea that az a time when
We are nearing ar era Of better times, they
m2y be brought nearer together. and not
driven wider apart. IL is a plea consonaut
with the dictates OF business judgment
and accorcs with common sense. IL Is
protest that may well be uttered By ciG-
zenS everywhere. no matter what the
measure OF their interests or the iinanc a.
tenets 10 which they bear allegiance.
Il am not unmindfui Of the fact that
large majority Of the citizens Of this state
feel that they have. in the economy OF
commerce, been soreiy injured in one OF
Pennsylvania the steel and iron Industries.
IL such result has folowed. they have
ing benefits. nor have they suffered more
keeniy than. az various times IN the coun-
trys history, have others who have en-
barked IN other lines Of undertaking.
THE law Of the commercial world,
through all its history. is proven to be
law Of continuous change. More than once
New England and the East have been
compelled 10 yield TO other sections Of the
country great industries which their peo-
pie had hoped 70 build up for the future.
And In the years TO came, doubt not but
that other and greater changes VIII come
upon them II Is not without the range OK
possibilities that the Carolinas may draw
from Massachusetts, the cotton mlll, and
the states Of Tennessee and Colorado from
Pennsylvania the steel and iron industries.
But II they do, following the line OF eco
nomiC truth. some new development Viii
be fostered which viii more than make al
equate reparation for seeming trrepar-
able loss
Mr. Eckels closed with prophecy that
the country is now entering upon an era
OF renewed prosperity. In which East.
West. North and South alike will particle
pate.
