sure you, that 1t was accepted in the

at this time serves to bind in closer
ties the relations between the two ma

high privilege to have been here
Mr.. Jesup then reviewed the founding
| of the New York Chamber Of Commerce
and said: 1--WE do not forget how you
instilled into our minds those habits Of
industry, thrift and fair dealing with
which we have worked during the past
1870 years. so that now, in the dawn Of
the twentieth century, we are able to
state with some pride that the business
relations between the two countries
amount to the astounding sum Of over
1850, 100000 yearly. We do not forget
how you have during this long period
aided us to produce this result; prima-
rily, by the inculca tion, through your
example, of those principles of Justice,
religion and law which we have imbib-
ed from you as the foundation of all
commercial transactions, and seconda-
rily, by the free loaning of capital to
enable us to make use of our great re-
sources, develop our minds, build our
railroads and extend our commerce.
I'VE do not forget the kindness shown
us in times Of financial distress, notably
in 1887, when specie payments were sus-
pended business at standstill and our
people disheartened; when one of our
citizens and princey merchants
afterwards a president of our cham
ber), James Gore King, visited London
and by his high character so impressed
your financial men that the Bank of
England advanced one million pounds
sterling in sovereigns and sent the same
by packet to New York under the con-
troll of Mr.. King to enable the banks in |
New York to resume specie payments |
and thus restore confidence, asking for |
no security save the honor Of Mr.. King |
and his and Barring Brothers guaran-
Zee, no stipulation being made as to the
time the loan was to be returned nor
any profit expected or required, the only
reward being the desire to do kindly
md friendly act.
I'VE do not, we never can, forget that
when, during our late struggle, we were
not only threatened with a divided
but were overshadowed by the
menace of war with you, your illus

We have the same religion, civilization
