LONDON OPINION
Upon McKinlev's Last Speech
at Buffalo Exposition.
TRADE SUPREMACY OF THE WORLD
Nothing Less Ia the Legitimate Ont.
come Of the Policy Advocated by
Both Him and President Roosevelt.

Both Him and President Roosevelt.
"The conviction reflected in his (Mr.
McKinley's) Buffalo speech that the
mission of America is to achieve the
trade supremacy Of the world" is its
Interpretation by the London Daily
Telegraph. This Ia made in an edi.
torial of length. which says that this |
twas recognized at once as the most |
remarkable speech Of his life. In the
United States It was the most admir-
ed. For the remainder Of the world 1t
was incomparably the most signifi-
cant Had the outrage not occurred
within twenty-four hours of its deliv-
cry the press Of every country would
have been full Of It," Other advices
confirm this judgment upon the presi-
dents address of the great London or
gan Of English Liberalism. They say
that later an almost complete report
of the address was printed in some Of
the London newspapers. and that the
circumstances of its delivery and that
It was the presidents last word to the
world, caused It to be read very care
fully. The statesmen and thinkers Of
Great Britain are quoted as Of the
opinion, from their study Of 1t and of
the circumstances which gave rise to
It, that there is apparently nothing
that Great Britain, or any other nation
Of the earth. can do to prevent the
rapid advance of the United States to
a position Of pre-eminence among the
world powers, both political and finan-
cial, as well as commercial"
The London Telegraph editorially
speaks of the Buffalo speech as the
answer to an historic question that
the old world has been asking itself
"from the Declaration Of Independ-
ence up to yesterday" without definite
: reply, and that is. what America
might mean?" President McKinley's
address fixes in the thought Of the
world the fact that the people of the
United States ARE citizens of q coun-
try which has attained the highest
level of average prosperity that the
, world has ever seen. Their CONNER.
cial strength Is more invulnerable at
home and more irresistible abroad
t than that Of any other nation. They
7 have greater opportunities and fewer
8 burdens, head for head, than have En-.

l enemy can ever break the mainsprings
J. of their power. or their trade. They
t have indefinite room to multiply with

total population may go hand in hand
