PRESIDENTS DAY
AT. BUFFALO
Progress Of the World in the Nine
teenth Century is Reviewed by
President Mckinley.
TIMELY AND WISE WARNING
In These Days of Prosperity the Nation
Ought to Prepare for Days of Strain,
Stress and Storm-An Immense
Multitude.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 5.-What was
probably the greatest crowd that ever
assembled on the esplanade at the
American grounds greeted Presi-
dent Mckinley with ringing cheers as
he entered the stand this morning. Inc
esplanade was crowded to suffocation,
and the vast assemblage overflowed to
the court of fountains. President Mil
burn introduced the president, VINO
delivered an address, welcoming the
foreign representatives. He reviewed
at length the progress of the world in
the 18th century, and said that the hg-
ures On the tunexampled prosperity" OF
this country are almost appalling He
continued: "Our capacity to produce
has developed SO enormously and our
products have so multiplied that
problem more marked requires our ur-
gent and immediate attention. Only a
broad and enlightened policy will keep
what we have. No other policy Will
get more. In these times of marvellous
business energy and gain we ought to
be looking to our industrial and COM
mercial systems, that we may be ready
for any storm or strain. BY sensible
trade arrangements which will not In
terrupt our home productions, we shall
extend the outlets for our increasing
surplus
1--WE must not repose in the fancied
security that we can forever sell every
thing and buy little or nothing. If such
a thing were possible it would not be
best for us or for those with whom we
deal. Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial de-
velopment under domestic policy now
firmly established. What we produce
beyond our domestic consumption must
have vent abroad.
'The period of exclusiveness is past.
The expansion of our trade and COM
merce is pressing problem. CONNER
cial wars are improbable. A policy of
good will and friendly trade relations
will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity trea-
ties are in harmony with the spirit of
the times; measures of retaliation are
not. IT, perchance, some of our tariffs
IRE no longer needed for revenue or. to
encourage and protect our industries
at home, why should they not be en-
ployed to extend and promote mar
kets abroad? Then, too, we have mad
equate steamship service. We must
have more ships. They must be under
the American flag built and manned
and owned by Amtricans. We must
build the isthmian canal, which will
unite two oceans and give a straight
line of water communication with the
western coasts of Central and South
America and Mexico. The construction
of a Pacific cable cannot be longer post
poned.
"In furtherance of these objects of
national interest and concern you are
performing an important part. This
exposition would have touched the
heart of that American statesman
whose mind was ever alert and whose
thought was ever constant for larger
commerce and truer fraternity Of the
republics of the new world. The name
Of Blaine is inseparably associated with
the Pan-American movement, which
finds this practical and substantial ex-
preston, and which we all hope will be
firmly advanced by the Pan-American
congress that assemblies this autumn
in the capital Of Mexico
Gentlemen, let us ever remember
that our interest Is in concord, not in
conflict; and that our real eminence
rests In victories of peace, not in those
Of war.
'Our earnest prayer is that God will
graciously vouchsafe prosperity, har-
piness and peace to all our neighbors.
and like blessings to all peoples and
powers Of the earth
McKinleys speech was frequently in
terupted with applause. Upon the
conclusion Of the address the president
held an impromptu reception lasting 70
minutes. The president, accompanied
by the diplomatic corps, was taken to
tie Stadium, where the troops stood at
attention while the president reviewed
them. prs. Mckinley was enter tai lad
by the women managers.
