YORK "A LITTLE LIKE THIS MAN"
Now I have been asked to say something ABOUT
the duties Of a citizen Of New-York' ana when
was asked to do 80 | thought of this poor fel'o"'
and thought to talk to the Chamber OF commerce
and 10 the members of the Chamber OIL Noinille'ce
IN their duties as citizens Of the city of NewYork

city OF New-York an obituary Qaughter)' and learn

qualifications and duties OF cltizen oil & -, n

NETWORKS COMMERCE.
Ru, want ,,ist to say one or things In refer
ence 10 the Chamber OF Commerce and 10 the IN
stituton called the Board Of Trade In the city OF
New-York and that Is In respect to the commerce
OF our city in which We are more Interested thah
In any other thing because the greatness OF the
city OF New-York depends upon It's commerce, and
for the last twenty-five years it has been gradually
an not OF tho opinion OF some that that Is be-
cause we have not been active and a. attentive 10
duties as merchants and business men OF the
city OF New,-York as we should he because the peo-
nic o. tho city Of New-York are charitable, and
the nrst thing that all feel In our hearts Is
charity to others; and since me var Since $50, t'e
tended to our own lands commerce instead OF TO
other means OF conveying merchandise OF all kinds
They could do that cheaper by sending IL to New
orleans and Galveston. and Mobile and savannah.
and Charleston and Baltimore. and Philadelphia.
and Il is impossible for New-York city 10 compete
with these ports and keep UP the trade that would
naturally flow to the city OF New YORK. They nave
felt that equally necessary for the growth or
this country and for the commerce OF the world
and Of the United States. that these ports OF the
Southern country should be equally patronZed with
the city OF New-Y York. Consequently we have not
exercised that feeling OF determination 10 control
all the commerce OF the United states against our
interests.
We must 10 liberal. and We have felt that We
should liberal and consequently have al
lowed these ports the borders OF the Atlantic
to control part OF our commerce But II may be
the duty OF each citizen OF the city OF New York
connected with the Chamber Of CONNIE rec and the
Board Of Trade TO look and see II We have cleaned
our own house and have taken care OF what has
been given to by our Heavenly Father-the beat
commercial port on this continent Have We done
that? | think myself that We have not In the
entire United States. Pacific Coast and on
our Atlantic Coast. we have not dock into when
we can put any OF large commercial vessels
now. and II is necessary for the commerce OF tho
city OF New-York that we should have craving
dock. into which We can put any vessel that no1ts
on the Atlantic Ocean and the citizens OF the CITY
81 New York and the members Of the Chamber or
Commerce and the members OF the Board or Trads
Of the city OF Newly ork will never have discharged
their duty until they have forced the municipal
government OF the city OF New-York TO build n
craving dock that Will allow the largest vessels
anoat the ocean To he put into II and repaired
or cared for just they should be. And we have
not such a dock on the Atlantic Coast Npplause)
