! Secretary OF State John Hay, Speaks az
Buffalo OF the Mutual Helpfulness OF
Countries Represented at ths Pan
American Ezposition.
The following brilliant address was
given by Secretary OF State John Hay
at banquet given by the directors Of
the PAM American exposition to the
4 National Editorial Association III Buff
y a sll on y Q recent evening, more than
one thousand being present:
Last night as I looked from my.
window at this marvellous creation.
lined in fire upon the evening sky and
today, as / have walked through the
courts and the palaces Of this incona-
parable exhibition, the words Of the
prophet have been constantly in my.
mind, Your old men shall dream
dreams; your young men shall see
visions" We who are old have through
many hopeful years dreamed this
dream. It was noble and inspiring.
leading to earnest and uplifting labor.
And now we share with you who are
young the pleasure Of beholding this
vision, far nob1er and more inspiring
than the dream. This idol OF the
brotherhood OF the nations Of the
western world is not growth of yes
#terday 1t was heralded when the
country was young by the clarion voice
OF Henry Clay; it was cherished by
Seward and Evarts, by Douglas and
by Blaine. Twelve years ago we held
the first reunion Of the American re-
publlcs. Much was said and done des-
tined to be memorable in our history,
opening and blazing the way, along
the path OF peace and fraternal rela-
lions. We have made steady progress,
we have grown day by day to better
understanding, until now we are look
ing to our coming conference in the
City of Mexico, in which we have the
right to hope that with larger expert
ence and profounder study of the great
problems before us results still more
important and benefcent will be
reached. AS a means to those ends as a
concrete realization of those generous
dreams which have led us thus far,
we have this grand and beautiful spec
tacle, never to be forgotten, a delight
to. the eyes, comfort to every patriot
heart that, during the coming sum-
mer shall make the joyous pilgrimage
to- this enchanted scene, where lake
and shore and sky, the rich, bright city
tthrobbing with vigorous life, and in
the distance the flash and roar of the
stupendous cataract, unite their varied
attractions in one charm of powerful
magic, such as the world has seldom
SEEM There has been statesmen and
soldiers who have cherished the fancy
in past years Of vast American army
recruited from every country between
the Arctic and the Antarctic seas,
which should bind us together in one
immense military power that might
overaWe the older civilizations. But
this conception belongs to the past, to /
an order of things that has gone, I
hope, forever by. How far more in
spring is the thought Of the results
we see here now; how much more in
keeping with the better times in whose
light we live, and the still more glori-
Gus future to which we look forward,
is the result we see today of the armies
of labor and intelligence in every
country of this new world, all work 4
ing with one mind and one will, not to +,
attain an unhappy pre- eminence in the
art of destruction, but to advance in
liberal emulation in the arts which,
tend to make them happier and better,
to make this long harassed and tor
mented earth a brighter and more
blest abode for men of good will. CAP

: Our hearts have glowed within us
as we have surveyed at every turn the
evidences of the equality and fraternity
of progress under skies SO distant, I'M
der conditions SO varying as those
which obtain between Alaska and Cape
Horn. remember how, at a Worlds
Fair in Paris, a great writer exclaim-
ed: what a prodigious amount Of
intelligence there is in the world We /
can say, with hearts full of gratitude
and pride: How prodigious is the prog
ress Of intelligence and industry in
this New World Of ours. .4@
All the triumphs of the spirit and
Of the skilled hands of labor, the gar
nered treasures of science, the witch
cries of art, the spoils Of earth and air
and sea are gathered here to warn, to
delight, to encourage, and reward the
ever-striving, the indomitable mind Of
man. Here you have force, which en-
ab1es men to conquer and tame the
powers OF nature; wealth, not meant
as Tennyson sang, to rest in moulded
heaps, but smit with the free light to
melt and fatten lower lands; beauty,
not for the selfish qualification Of the
few, but for the joy Of the many to
fill their days with gladness and their.
aights with music. Il. s. hi
