committee of the exposition; former Mayor
Walbridge, OF St. Louis; Nathan Frank, of
St Louis. and James L. Blair, of ST. Louis,
spoke in favor Of the appropriation.
MI Francis said; We appear before
you not as representatives Of a single
city or a single State. but in behalf Of the
fifteen States and two Territories carved
out of the Louisiana Purchase; and in
the name of the entire trans Mississippi
section Of our country, to lay before you
the plan we have adopted for commence
rating the Tooth anniversary or the acqui-
sition Of the Louisiana Territory; and TO
ask. therefore, the recognition and tie
aid Of the General Government"
Former Governor Prince said: Il am not

phasizes the nationality of this proposed

tional influence upon all of our people. The
Congress could not do better for the peo-
pie Of the United States than TO give this

proposed celebration. They are anxiously
waiting to learn what the action of this

William H. Thompson said. at is true,
Mr. Chairman, that l object to speaking
in public, but not as strenuously as my
hearers generally do. | know the figures
are very dry but think it is well Tor you
to know the financial condition OF inns

give you will show you how impossible
il is for US 20 have this exposition unless
we are given positive assurance OF Congress
sional aid at this time. We have 1878
subscribers to our Worlds Fair iund. we
have raised by subscription over Si,OCOOtO.
The balance needed to make up the S9,cOU,-
600 which we propose to raise by SUD
scription will have to come from large sup
scribers. We are assured that If we can
get the pledge of Congress to grant the
aid which We ask for this exposition we
will have no difficulty whatever in raising
the additional amount needed. But unless
we get this assurance, do not believe 1t
will be forthcoming. 1t is also important,
if we are to hold this exposition. that we
should arrange with foreign exhibitors 10
be present at our fair. This can easily
be done while the Paris Exposition IS in
progress. But il action is deferred by
Congress upon cur bill until the Desem-
Der session, the Paris Exposition will
then have closed and it will be matter
of great difficulty and of great expense to
procure foreign exhibits for the st. Louis
exposition. Whatever you do Therefore
we wish you TO do promptly.
Mr.. Tawney-In your judgment, Mr..
Thompson. it is absolutely essential then,
that Congress should take positive action
upon this bill at this session?
Mr.. Phompson-It most assuredly is.
