AMERICAN EXHIBIT AT PARIS
Every State in the Union Represented
by Seven Thousand
Exhibitors.

The death of President Faure in Febru.

sions of sympathy which beft the relations
of two republics as closely allied by un-
broken historic ties as are the United
States and France.
Preparations for the representation of the
industries, arts and products of the United
States at the Worlds exposition to be held
in Paris next year continue on an elaborate
and comprehensive scale, thanks to the
generous appropriation provided by congress
and to the friendly interest the French gov
ernment has shown in furthering a typical
exhibit of American progress.
There has been allotted to the United
States considerable addition of space,
which, while placing our country in The
first rank among exhibitors, does not sut-
flee to meet the increasingly urgent demands
of our manufacturers. The efforts of the
commissioner general are ably directed
toward a strictly representative display of
all that most enthusiastically marks Amer
lean achievement in the inventive arts and
most adequately shows the excellence of our
natural productions
In this age of keen rivalry among nations
for mastery in commerce, the doctrine of
evolution and the rule of the survival of the
fittest must be as inexorable in their opera
tion as they are positive in the results they
bring about. The place won In the struggle
by an industrial people can only be held
by unrelaXed endeavor and constant advance
in achievement. The present extraordinary
impetus in every line of American eXporta-
tion and the astounding increase in the
volume and value of our share in the
worlds markets may not be attributed to
accidental conditions.
Exhibit Should De Comprehensive.
The reasons are not far to seek They
lie deep in our national character and find
expression year by year in every branch of
handicraft in every new device whereby the
materials we so abundantly produce are sub
dued to the artisans will and made to yield
the largest, most practical and most bene-
fetal return, The American exhibit at
Paris should, and | am confident will be,
an open volume whose lessons of skilIfully
directed endeavor, unfaltering energy and
consummate performance may be read by all
on every page, thus spreading abroad a
clearer knowledge of the worth of our pro-
ductions and the justice of our claim to an
important place in the marts of the world
To accomplish this by judlcious selection,
by recognition of paramount merit in what
ever walk of trade and manufacture 1t may
appear and by orderly classification and at
tractive installation is the task of our COM
mission,
The United States government building is
approaching completion and no effort will
be spared to make it worthy in beauty of
plan and In completeness Of
display, to represent our nation 1t has
been suggested that permanent building

iuture' 1t behooves us, therefore. to pro-
VIDE at once the best means to
meet the emergency when 1t arises and
the best means are those which are the most
certain and economical. Those now auth
orized nave the virtue neither of directness
nor economy. We have already eliminated
one OF the causes Of our financial plight and
embarrassment during the years 1898. 1894.
1895 and 1896. Our receipts now equal our
expenditures-deficient revenues no longer
create alarm Let us remove the only re-
naming cause by comforting the full and
necessary power on the secretary of the
treasury and impose upon him the duty to
uphold the present gold standard and pre-
serve the coinage Of the two metals on a
parity with each other, which is the re-
peatedly declared policy of the United States
In this connection repeat my former rec
concentrations, that a portion of the gold
holding shall be placed in a trust fund from
which greenbacks shall be redeemed upon
presentation, but when cnce redeemed shall
not thereafter be paid out except for gold

of similar or appropriate design be erected
on convenient site, already given by the
municipality, near the exposition grounds,
to serve in commemoration of the part taken
by this country in this great enterprise as
an American national institute for our coun-
trymen resorting to Paris for study.
l am informed by our commissioner gem
eral that we shall have in the American
sections at Paris over 1000 exhibitors from
every state in our country, a number ten
times great as those which were repre-
sented at Vienna in 1873, six times as many
as those in Paris in 1873 and four times as
many as those who exhibited in Paris in
1889. This statement does not include the
exhibits from either Cuba, Porto Rico or
Hawaii, for which arrangements have been
made.
A number of important international con-
crosses on special topics affecting public
interests are proposed to be held in Paris
next summer in connection with the eXposi-
tion. Effort will be made to have the sew
eral technical branches of our adminstra-
tion efficiently represented at those confer
ences, each in its special line and to pro-
cure the largest possible concourse of state
representatives. particularly at the con-
crosses Of public charity and CT medicine

CHILL SHOWS ITS GOOD WILL
Kindly Sends Assistance TO Cruiser

pleasing incident in the relations of this
government with that of Chill occurred in
the generous assistance given to the war
ship Newark when in distress in Chilian
waters. Not alone in this way has the
friendly disposition of Chill found express
sion. That country has acceded to the con-
vention for the establishment of the Bureau
of America Republics, in which organiza-
tion every independent state of the con-
tinent now shares.
The exchange Of ratihcations of a con-
vention for the revival of the United States
and Gillian Claims commission and for the
adjudication of claims heretofore presented,
but not determined during the life of the
previous commission, has been delayed by
reason of the necessity for fresh action by
the Chilian senate upon the amendments
attached to the ratification of the treaty

COMMENDS IsTHMlAN CANAL
Recites the appointment of Commis-
sion and Urges Canals Impor-
tnnce Upon Congress-.

The contract of the Maritime Canal COM
pany of Nicaragua was declared forfeited by
the Nicaraguan government on the 10th Of
October, on the ground Of nonfulfllment
within the ten-years term stipulated in the
contract, The Maritime Canal company has
lodged protest against this action, alleg-
ing rights in the premises which appear
worthy of consideration. This government
expects that Nicaragua will afford the pro-
testants full and fair hearing upon the
merits of the case.
The Nicaragua Canal commission, which
had been engaged upon the work of ex-
animation and survey for a ship canal route
across Nicaragua, having completed its la
bors and made its report, was dissolved on
May 81, and on June 10 a new commission,
known as the Isthmian Canal commission.
was organized under the terms of the act
approved March g. 1899, for tha purpose of
examining the American isthmus with a
view TO determining the most practicable

INCREASE IN MONEY SUPPLY
Enlarged Industrial Activity and Ag-
ricuIturaI Production De-
mund 1t.

Increased activity IN industry, with its
welcome attendant--a larger employment for
labor at higher wages-giyes to the body
of the people larger power to aJsorb the
circulating medium. 1t IL further true
that year by year with larger areas OF lard
under cultivation, the Increasing volume of
agricultural products, cotton, clrn and
wheat, calls for a larger volume of money
supply. This is especially noticeable at the
embarrassing and crop moving period
In its earlier history fhn patIona bank
ing act seemed to prove a reasonable avenue
through which needful additions to the cir
culation could from time to time be made.
Changing conditions have apparently rem
dered 1t now imperative to that end. The
high margin in bond securities required re-
sulting from large premiums which gcv-
ernment bonds command in the market, or
the tax on note issues, or BON operating
together appear to be the influences which
impair Its public utility.
The attention of congress Is re ;pectfully
invited to this important matter with the
view OF ascertaining whether or not such
reasonable notifications can be made in
the national banking act as will render Its
service in the particulars here referred to
more responsive to the peoples needs
lied to organize with capital of ser 900.
Maintaining Gold Standard.
! urgently recommend that to support the
existing gold standard and to maintain 1.-The
parity in value of the coins of the two metals
(gold and silver. and the equal power OF
every dollar at all times in the market and
in the payment of debts" the secretary OF
the treasury be given additional power and
charged with the duty to sell United States
bonds and to employ such other effective
means as may be necessary to those ends
This authority should include the power to
sell bonds on long and short time, as con-
ditions may require. and should provide for
a rate of interest lower than that fixed by
the act OF January IA, 1875 While there Is
now no commercial fright which withdraws
gold from the government but on the con-
trary such widespread confidence that gold
seeks the treasury demanding paper money
in exchange yet the very situation points to
the present as the most fitting time to make
adequate provision to insure the continu-
ance of the gold standard and of public con-
dence in the ability and purpose OF the gov
ernment to meet all its obligations in the
money which the civilized world recognizes
the best.
The financial transactions of the govern
Gent are conducted upon a gold basis. We

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA
Additional Ports Open to Trade
Marines Landed TO Protect
American interests.

In view of disturbances in the populous
provinces of northern China, where are
many of our citizens, and of the imminence
of disorder near the capital and toward the
soaboard, guard of marines was landed
from the Boston and stationed during last
winter in the legation compound at Pekin.
With the restoration of order this protection
was withdrawn.
The interests of our citizens in that vast
empire have not been neglected during the
last year. Adequate protection has been
secured for our missionaries and some in
juries to their property have been redressed.
American capital has sought and found
various opportunities of competing to carry
out the internal improvements which the
imperial government is wisely encouraging
and to develop the natural resources of the
empire. Our trade with China has con-
tinued to grow and our commercial rights
under existing treaties have been every
where maintained during the last year, as
they will be in the future.
The extension of the area open to inter,
national foreign settlement at Shanghai and
the opening of the ports of Nanking, Using
Tao (IIiao- Chou and Talien-Wan to for
egn trade and settlement will doubtless az
ford American enterprise additional facilities
and new fields of which it will not be slow
to take advantage.
In my message to congress of December
5, 1885, ! urged that the recommendation
which had been made to the speaker of the
house of representatives by the secretary OF
the treasury on the 1ith of June, 1898, for an
appropriation for a commission to study
the commercial and industrial conditions
in the Chinese empire and report as to the
annoy MI itnit for o,,l nle,tn n1a 10 Io
largement of markets in China for the raw
products and manufactures of the United
States, should receive at your hands the
which it's Importance and
timeiness merited but the congress failed
to take action.
| now renew this recommendation, as the |
Importance of the subject has steadily grown |
since it was first submitted to you, and no !
time should be lost in studying for our |
selves the resources of this great field for |
American trade and enterprise.

ments, to the port of shipment Our sys-
tenn of control ever exported food staples in

lcnges respect by its efficient thoroughness.
1t is to be hoped that in time the two gov
crnments will act in common accord toward
the realization Of their common purpose to
safeguard the public health and to the insur-
ing of the purity and wholesomeness OF all
food products imported by either country from
the other. Wore the congress to authorize
an invitation to Germany, in accordance with
the impending reciprocity negotiations, for
the constitution of a joint commission OF
scientific experts and practical men OF affairs
to conduct a searching investigation of food
production and eXportation in both countries
and report to their respective legislatures
for the adoption of such remedial measures
as they might recommend fer either. the
way might be opened for the desirable result
indicated.
Efforts to obtain for American life insur-
ance companies a full hearing as to their
business operations in Prussia have, after
several years of patient representation, hap
PLY succeeded, and one of the most i'm
portant American companies has been
granted a concession to continue business in
that kingdom.
l am also glad to announce that the Ger
man insurance companies have been read
mtted by the superintendent Of insurance to
do business in the state of New York.
Subsequent to the exchange OF our peace
treaty with Spain, Germany acquired the
Caroline islands by purchase, paying there
for 5000, 900. Assurances have been received
from the German government that the rights
of American missionaries and traders there
will be considerably observed.

LARGER MERCHANT MARINE
Necessary for Extension of Commerce
and strengthening Our Power
on the Sen.

Ihe value OF an American merchant ma
/ rlne to the extension OF our commercial
! trade and the strengthening of our power
upon the sea invites the immediate action
! OF congress. Our national development will
/ be one-sded and unsatisfactory so long as
the remarkable growth OF our inland in
! dustries remains unaccompanied by prog
ress on the seas. There is no lack of con-
stitutonal authority for legislation VIII .ch
| shall give TO the country maritime strengt h
commensurate with its industrial achieve
ments and with its rank among the nations
of the earth.
The past year has recorded exceptional
activity in our shpyards and the promi es
of continual prosperity in shipbuidlng are
abundant. Advanced legislation for the pro &.
lection of our seamen has been enacted.
Our coast trade, under regulations wisely
framed at the beginning of the government
and since, shows results for the last fiscal
year unequaled in our records or thcss OF
any other power. We shall fail to realize
our opportunities, however, If we cunpla-
Gently regard only matters at home and
blind ourselves to the necessity of securing
our share in the valuable carrying trade OF
the world
Last year American vessels transported
smaller share of our exports and imports
than during any former year in all our
history and the measure OF our dependence
upon foreign shipping was painfully mani
tested to our people. Without any choi-e
Of our own, but from necessity, the depart
ments of the government charged with mil
itary and naval operations in the East and
West Indies had to obtain from foreign
flags merchant vessels essential for those
operations.
The other great nations have not hesltqted
to adopt the required means to develop
their shipping as a factor in national de-
fense and as one Of the surest and speediest
means Of obtaining for their producers
share in foreign markets. Like vigilance
and effort on our part cannot fail to i'm
prove our situation, which is regarded with
humiliation at home and with surprise
abroad. Even the seeming sacrifices, which
at the beginning may be involved, will be
offset later by more than equivalent gains.
The expense is as nothing compared to
the advantage to be achieved. The re-
establishment Of our merchant marine in
wolves in large measure our continued in
dustrial progress and the extension of cur
commercial triumphs. l am satisfied the
of the country favors the rollcy
of aid to our merchant marine, which will
broaden our commerce and markets and
upbuild our sea carrying capacity for the
products of agriculture and manufacture, |
which, with the increase OF our navy, means |
more work and wages to our countrymen, ss |
well as a safeguard to American interests
in every part OF the world

GUNsAULUs' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase Of the ChicsGo
Divine In HIS Youth Which Dis.
gusted His Father.

Once upon a time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was q poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend few days. His father, SO
the story goes, was q rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with a vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
We'll, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself In possession of enough money to
buy horse. He thought it would be better
to ride bis own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. It was a
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
1t he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal
Where did ye git that boss, Frank" he
asked.
Il bought him cheap, father" said the
young preacher.
He's a sorry-lookin' critter, must say"
said the father.
well, father" said Frank, "you remem.
Der that our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on
. worse looking animal than this"
And the old man looked at the hose again
and said:
burned if I don't think it's the same
