M'KINLEY ON THE NEW TARIFF BILL
President Mckinley spoke as follows:
FOR the cordislity of your reception 1 am
indeed grateful, although from my re-
cent experience in this great city It is not
wholly and altogether surprising and
unexpected. A recent visit to your city
| gavc me an opportunity to feel the warm
heart touch of the people OF Philadelphia and
to enjoy their splendid and boundless hospitali-
ty. l must tell you that. from first to last, I
have been deeply impressed with the scenes
witnessed in Philadelphia to-day. I have seen
the remarkable spectacle Of the representatives
| of all the American republics, with the products
| of their skill and their soil in one great ware
house.
1.-The first great convention Of these republics
was organized by the matchless diplomacy OF
that splendid American James G. Blaine. Seven
years ago he brought the Governments OF this
continent together and taught the doctrine that
general reciprocity in trade required reciprocity
Of information. And it was his genius,
with that Of many gentlemen I see around this
board tonight. that originated the Bureau OF
American Republics located in the Capitol city,
which has already done much good and which 1
believe will yet play an important part in our
trade relations with the Governments support
ing it.
My fellow citizens, there IL no motive to

take 1t. The maker must find the taker. You
will not employ labor TO make a product unless
you can find q buyer for that product after labor
has made it Gentlemen. l am glad to meet the
representatives of the American republics here
tonight. 1 am glad to meet representa-
tives Of the Governments of all the world here
tonight. I have met the manufacturers Of
Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania be-
fore. I met you in the days Of your highest

hour of somewhat prolonged adversely.
but let me tell you. my countrymen, that re-
suscitation will not be promoted by recrimina-
ton. The dlstrust of the present will not be
removed by a distrust Of the future. A patriot
makes a better citizen than a pessimist,
and we have got to be patient, for much
as we may want to move out of the
old house, we cannot do it until the new
one is finished. A tariff law half made is of no
practical use except to indicate that in a little
while whole tariff law will be done, and 1t is
making progress. 1t is reaching the end. and
when the end comes we will have business con-
hdence and industrial activity. Let US keep
stout hearts and steady heads, and the country
is not going backwards. but forwards.
American energy has not been destroyed by
the storms OF the past. It will triumph through
wise and beneicent legislation. Philadelphians
have in the past shown what busy industries
and well employed labor can do to make a great
city and a contented population. They don't
mean to accept the present condition as
permanent and final They will meet en-
barrassments as they have bravely met them in
the past, and in the end will restore the splendid
industries and the magnificent labor 10 its pros
perity, and, gentlemen Philadelphia is but the
type of the American pluck and courage every
where throughout our great United States"
