An Auspicious Occasion at the
Pan=American Exposition.
NOTABLE ADDRESS DELIVERED

Isthmian Canal.

A special from Buffalo, N. Y, says:
Presidents day at the Pan-American
exposition ran it's course under very
auspicious conditions, and was at
tended with every circumstance In
keeping with it's high import.
President Mckinley, with Mrs. Nc
Kinley by his side and surrounded by
eminent persons of high rank in the
service of this and foreign countries.
faced vast throng of people in the
esplanade at noon Thursday and de-
livered an address that brought forth
the thunderous applause of the multi
tude.
The presidents words were listen
ed to attentively by the audience. His
reference to the name of Blaine as the
man associated with the Pan-Amerl'
can movement; the statements that
reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit of the times; that the
American people must build the 18TH
mian canal and the Pacific cable and
encourage geourmerchant marine service
and that isolation is no longer posi-
Bile or desirable were particularly well
received.
Twenty mounted police and twenty
members of the signatory powers es-
corted the president to the Lincoln
park way entrance to the exposition
grounds. There the president was
met by detachments Of the United
States marines and the seacoast artii
lery and the Sixty-fifth and Seventy
fourth national guard, state OF New
York regiments. A presidents salute
Of twenty-one guns was fired. The
president was at once escorted to the
stand erected in the esplanade, where
President Milburn introduced the
president as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The pres
ident."
The most striking passages from
President McKinley's address were as
follows:
Eve have a vast and intricate busi-
ness, built up through years Of toll
and struggle, in which will not permit
Of either neglect or Of undue selfish
ness. No narrow, sordid policy will
subserve 1t. The greatest skill and
wisdom on the part Of the manufac-
turers and producers will be required
to hold and increase it.
"By sensible trade arrangements,
which may not interrupt our home pro-
duction, we shall extend the outlets
for our increasing surplus. A system
which provides a mutual exchange OF
commodities is manifestly essential
to the continued healthful growth of
our export trade. We must not re-
pose in fancied security that We can
forever sell everything and buy little
or nothing.
RECIPROCITY is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial de-
velopment under the domestic policy
now firmly established. What we pro-
duce beyond our domestic consumption
must have a vent abroad. The excess
must be relieved through foreign
outlet. The period Of exclusiveness is
past. Expansion Of our trade and COM
merce is the pressing problem. A pol
mercial wars are improbable. A pol
ICY Of goodwill and friendly trade re-
lations will prevent reprisals. Reel
procity treaties are in harmony with
the spirit of the times; measures OF
retaliation are not.
IF, perchance, some OF our tartffs
are no longer needed for revenue, or
to encourage and protect our indus
tries at home, why should they not be
employed to extend and promote our
markets abroad?
1--WE must have more ships. They
must be under the American flag, built
and manned and owned by Americans.
I'VE must build the Isthmian canal,
which will unite the two oceans. The
construction of Pacific cable cannot
be longer postponed"
