ALLUSION TO THE WAR

After the reception by the members of
the Massachusetts legislature at the state
house in Boston yesterday President Nc
Kinley and his party repaired to the AL
gonquin Club house, where he addressed
the members of the Commercial Club. He
dwet at some length on the financial ques-
ton remarking that the next Congress had
hold the cause of sound money. The Presi-
dent said:
Gentlemen of the Commercial Club: l
am glad TO meet the members of the Com
mercia Club and the business men of Bos-
ton here assembled. | rejoice with them
upon the better conditions of trade now
prevailing throughout the country. The
last twelve months have marked great
changes and brought business Improvement
to industrial America. The man of affairs
feels better because his affairs are in a bet
ter state. He is more comfortable than he
has been for many years. He has taken
on new courage and confidence. He is sat
isfed with the revenue and financial poll
cies of his country. He can now make ac-
curatc calculation on the future.
THE past year has recorded a volume Of
business, domestic and foreign unparal-
leled in any former operations of the
United States. Our enormous export trade
had made American balances satisfactory
and almost for the first time the money of
the country has been SO abundant and the
wealth of the country 50 great that our
capitalists have sought foreign invest

Attention Turned tOuTrade.

I'VE have quit discussing, the tariff and
have turned our attention to getting trade
wherever it can be found. 1t will be a
long time before any change scan be had or
any change desired in our present fiscal
policy except to strengthen 1t. The differ
ences on this question which existed have
disappeared We have turned from
academic theories to trade conditions and
are seeking our share of the worlds mar
kets.
Not only is our business good, but our
money is good. There is no longer fear of
debased currency; ii has been happily dis
PEELED. The highest and best standard rec
ogniZed by the leading commercial rela-
tons has been maintaihed. ana it has been
dCTe without resort TO loans The cause
of sound money has adwanced in the last
two years Honest finance has made posi-
tive gains l DO not think We quite appre-
ciate yet the full measure of its success
Both branches of Congress on the 18th of
March next will have an lIeqlIeStfoned ma
jcrity opposed to any Generalization of our
currency and committed to uphold the
worlds standard
Certainly for two yearsyevery branch of
the national government will be united for
good currency and the inviolabiity of our
national obligations and credit. The invest
rnentS and other enterprises of the people
can therefore not be unsettled by sudden
changes.
Business Good in Spite of War.
I'VE have been engaged in war. Two
hundred and seventy thousand of our cfti-
zens have been in the field; our sailors have
been afoat in two hemispheres; and yet
the business of the country has been stead
lily growing, our resources multiplying, the
energy of our people quickened, and at the
end of our glorious land and naval triumphs
we find our country in "a condition of al
most unparalleled activity and prosperity.
Our domestic situation is fortunate in
deed. considering the new questions which
we must meet and solve. That they Will be
settled on the lines of right and duty l can
not doubt, and that the business men of
Boston and of the whole country will be an
active and helpful force in their rightful
solution l confidently believe"
