STATING
How President Mckinley Summarizes
Existing Prosperous Conditions.

Existing Prosperous Conditions.
Among the special gifts of President
Mckinley that of effective verbal
statement in concise form is especially
notable. Few men have ever said in
so small a number of words more that
was important. and that the country
wanted to know, than was said by Il
chief executive in his speech at the
banquet of the Commercial club in
Chicago, Oct. 10, 1899. The president
had something good to say. and this is
how be said it:
81 congratulate you, gentlemen, upon
the growth and advancement OF your
city and the evidences of prosperity
everywhere observable. Nothing i'm
pressed me more in looking into the
faces OF the great multitude On the
streets yesterday han the smiling,
happy faces of the people. That was
evidence to me of your real and sub
~stantial prosperity. 1t meant the
steady employment. good wages, happy
homes, and these are always indis-
pensable to good government and to
the happiness OF the people.
1--WE have had a wonderful indus
trial development in the last two years.
Our work shops never were so busy;
our trade at home was never SO large,
and our foreign trade exceeds that OF
any like period in all our history. In
the year 1899 we bought abroad up
ward Of $697, coo, coo worth of goods.
and in the same year cold abroad
81, 227, 900, 600, giving a balance of trade
in our favor of $500. 600, coo. y
This means more labor at home,
more money at home, more earnings at
home. Our products are carried on
every sea and find a market in all the
ports of the world. In 1855 the Japa-
nese government took from us S,S6 per
cent of its total imports, and in 1898
1857 per cent, We are the greatest
producers of pig iron, and our manu-
features of iron and steel exceed those
Of any other country. We raise three
fourths Of the cotton OF the world.
The growth of the railway systems
OF the United States is phenomenal.
From 30 miles in 1880 we have gone to
1872. GOO in 1897.
"Our internal commerce has even ex-
.eded the growth OF our outward COM

Two mothers of large families were dis

BILE" said the older woman: lit is the
plan on which my mother brought me up,
and ! have never found a better"
The rule in our family she proceed
ed. when urged by her friend to explain
her method. is this: Any one who makes
a spot on the tablecloth must cover It
with a piece of money. and the piece
must be large enough to cover the stain
entirely: no rims allowed. The chill
dren have to provide the coins out of
their pocket money. This rule applies to
their father and me as well as to them.
The sum goes to buy new table linen.
THE first year | tried the new plan we
had money enough for three handsome
tablecloths. but since then there has been
less and less. This is the fourth year,
and although zone OF my boys has yet
reached his 18th birthday. and they are
by no means unusually deft in their
management Of knives, forks and spoons.
they have learned to serve themselves
and others so well that | am inclined to
think their contributions to the table

w have everything, gentlemen, to
congratulate ourselves over as to the
present condition OF the country. I am
told by business men everywhere that
the business Of the country now rests
upon a substantial basis n that you
are really only making what there is
a market for, and as long as you do
that. OF course. you are doing a safe
business, n our markets are going
to increase" (Applause.)
Can any n imagine Grover Cleve-
land talking that way two years and
a half after his second Inauguration as
president of the United States? His
habit of speech. always ponderous and
platitudinous, and often very dull, was
against him in the first place. Then,
too. he never had the help of the splen-
did facts which inspire the utterances
OF his more eloquent successor in the
presidential office. The facts were all
against Mr.. Cleveland. They were facts
of depression. gloom. Encouragement,
disaster; the facts of free-trade tariff
times. Now the facts are Republican.
protection facts. Mckinley facts. There
is a mighty big difference between the
facts of four years ago and the facts
of to-day.
