TENDER 5, transported an event the
memory of which will linger ever
in the minds of men. The day pre-
ceding that on which President Nc
Kinley received the fatal wound at
the hands of an anarchist assassin,
the nations foremost citizen and
statesman spoke to the people in
words that will leave their impress
upon the pages of American history.
In them the world will read the
promptings of a great heart and the
logic of a master mind. The words
of the lamented president would
seem to have been uttered under the
dawning consciousness of his COM
ing end, SO full of inspiration were
they. President Mckinley was intro
duced by President Milburn, of the
exposition, and was received by the
vast audience with tumultuous en-
thusiasm, upon the subsistence of
which he spoke as follows:
President McKinIey's Address.
81 am glad to be again in the city
of Buffalo and exchange greetings
with her people, to whose generous
hospitality 1 am not a stranger, and
with whose good will I have been re-
peatedly and signally honored. To-
day 1 have additional satisfaction in
meeting and giving welcome to the
foreign representatives assembled
here, whose presence and participa-
tion in this exposition have contrib
uted in so marked a degree to it's in
terests and success.
ITO the commissioners of the Do
minion of Canada and the British
colonies, the French colonies, the re-
publics of Mexico and of Central and
South America, and the commits sion
ers of Cuba and Porto Rico, who
share with US in this undertaking, we
give the hand of fellowship and felici-
tate with them upon the triumphs of
art, science, education and manufac-
ture which the old has bequeathed to
the new century.
Timekeepers of Progress.
'Expositions are the timekeepers
of progress. They record the world
Advancement. They stimulate the
energy, enterprise and intellect OF
the people and quicken human
genius. They go into the home
They broaden and brighten the daily
life of the people. They open mighty
storehouses of information to the
student.
Every exposition, great or small
has helped to some onward step
Comparison of ideas is always educa
tional and as such instructs the
brain and hand of man. Friendly
rivalry follows, which is the spur tC
industrial improvement, the inspira
ton to useful invention and to higf
endeavor in all departments CT hu
man activity. 1t exacts a study of the
wants, comforts, and even the whim!
of the people and recognizes the
efficacy of high quality and new
prices to win their favor.
1.-THE quest for trade is an incen
tive to men of business to devise, in
vent, improve, and economic in the
cost of production. Business life
whether among ourselves or will
other people, is ever a sharp struggle
for success. It will be none the les!
SO in the future. Without competi
ton we would be clinging to thu
clumsy and antiquated process o
farming and manufacture and thu
methods of business of long ago, ant
the twentieth would be no furthe:
advanced than the eighteenth cen
fury. But though commercial com
petitors we are, commercial enemie!
we must not be.
Mission of the Exposition.
"'The Pan-American exposition ha
done it's work thoroughly, presenting
in it's exhibits evidences of the high
est skill and illustrating the progress
of the human family in the western
hemis phere. This portion of tn
earth has no cause for humilia tiol
for the part it has performed in tn
march of civilization. 1t has not &C
complished everything; far from it
It has simply done its best, and with
out vanity or boastfulness, and, rec
ognizing the manifold achievement
of others, it invites the friendly rival
ry of all the powers in the peaceful
pursuits of trade and commerce, ant
will cooperate with all in advancin!
the highest and best interests o
humanity. The wisdom and energ,
of all the nations are none too grea
for the worlds work. The success O
art, science, industry and invention
is an international asset and a com
mon glory.
after all, how near one to tn
other is every part of the world
Modern inventions have brought int
close relation widely separated PEG
pies and made them better acquaint
ed. Geographic and political di
visions will continue to exist, bu
distances have been effaced. Swift
ships and fast trains are becomin,
cosmopolitan. They invade field
which a few years sfgo were impene
trable. The worlds products ar
changed as never before, and witt
increasing transportation facilitie
come increasing knowledge an,
trade. Prices are fixed with mathe
NAUTICAL precision by supply and de
mand. The worlds selling prices ar
regulated by market and crop re
ports. We travel greater distance
in a shorter space of time and wit
more ease than was ever dreamed O
by the fathers.
