Buffalo, N. Y, Sept 6.-What was
probably the greatest crowd that ever
assembled on the esplanade al the
Pan-American grounds greeted the
president with ringing cheers as he
entered the stand there. The eSplan-
ade was crowded to suffocation and
the vast assemblage oyerfioWed 10 the

the president could not have been
more enthusiastic and his speech was
accorded hearty applause. The presi.
dent was. introduced by President Mil

10 begin his speech.
President McKinley's speech was
frequently interrupted with applause,
his words referring to the establish
ment Of reciprocal treaties with other
countries, the necessity of the Amer
lean people building an isthmian
canal and Pacific cable, and his
reference to the work OF Blaine in
developing the Pan-American idea
bringing forth especially enthusiastic
cheers.
The president concluded his speech
as follows:
Wishes Gods Blessing For Neighbors.
Our earnest prayer is that God will
gracieusly vouchsafe prosperity, hap.
piness and peace to all our neighbors,
and like blessings to all the peoples
and powers of earth.
The president said in part:
Our capacity to produce has de-
yeloped so enormously and our prod
uets have so multiplied that the prob
lem of more markets requires our ur-
gent and immediate attention. Only
a broad and enlightened policy will
keep what we have. No other policy
Will get more.
by sensible trade arrangements,
which will not interrupt our home pro-
duction, we shall extend the outlets
for our decreasing surplus system
which provides a mutual exchange Of
commodities
I'VE must not repose in financial
security that we can forever sell
everything and buy little or nothing.
We should take from our customers
such OF their products as we can use
without harm to our industries and
labor. Reciprocity Is the natural out
growth of our wonderful Industrial
development under the domestic
policy now firmly established. What
We produce beyond our domestic con
sumption must have vent abroad.
The excess must be relieved through
a foreign outlet, and we should sell
everywhere we can and buy wherever
the buying will enlarge our sales and
production, and thereby make a
greater demand for home labor.
The period of exclusiveness is
past. The expansion of our trade and
commerce is the pressing problem.
Commercial wars are Improbable A
policy of good will and friendly trade
relations will prevent reprisals.
Reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit OF the times; meas
ures of retaliation are not.
''If perchance some of our tariffs
are no longer needed for revenue or
To encourage and protect our indus
tries at home, why should they not be
markets abroad?
Next in advantage to having the
thing to sell is to have the con-
yenience to carry it to the buyer. We
must encourage our merchant marine.
We must have more ships. 1hey must
be under the American flag, built and
manned and owned by Americans.
