Americas Influence.

NJ. Jules Siegfried at one time French
minister of commerce and political
economist of some repute. has addressed
TO Melville r. Stone. OF Manhattan, an
open letter synthetizing the impressions
of the United States which he formed
during his recent extended tour of this
country.
After rendering his thanks to all who
showed him their kind attention. M. Sieg-
fried writes In part.
II return home with the impression of
having seen a wonderful country IL was
my very great privilege to visit America
twice. at an interval OF forty years. and
dare say those forty years have been the
period of the most wonderful progress
the world has ever seen. You were
3d. 600 i'm 1861: today you are 75.000,0O0,
and we will not have to walt more than
quarter OF A century TO see you 1VO,OOo,OO
mo doubt you owe this extraordinary
growth to the natural wealth of your i'm
mense country. but i think you owe IL
still more TO the energy and go-ahead
qualities OF your people. as well as to the
freedom OF your republican constitution.
'Of course. your agricultural resources
remain one OF the greatest factors of your
prosperity. But / have been really star
tied by the recent and astonishing growth
of your industries.
III you keep on going at that speed /
think the time Is not far distant when
you will produce more than you can con-
sumo. and as your marvellous railroad
transportation and your inventive spirits
allow you to produce cheap despite high
wages, you will certainly be able TO COM
pete I'm the foreign markets and event
ually 20 control some of them. As con-
sequence OF this your interest is 10 get
new markets, and you will do II only
by adopting a policy OF reciprocity
treaties.
THAT will be also the best way OF as
suring good wages to your working peo-
ple. who certainly deserve 1t. What
have seen Of them has led me TO think
I'm the world they are also among the
most clever.
For the present the condition OF the
worklngmen I'm America is certainly much
better than in Europe. The wages are
twice higher and the cost OF living about
the same. so that a large part OF the
earnings can be devoted either TO pleas
ure or 20 saving. The American working
man has understood also that revolution
first point for him is TO Increase his
wages and shorten his hours Of labor. No
Christian can be opposed TO such pro-
gramme
Your progress has been of late so enor-
nous that you play now an important
part IN the destiny OF humanity. II YOU
continue to be inspired by Christian prin-
clpies YOU will have certainly a salutary
influence on the development OF civiliza-
ti0n i'm the world. The magnates OF your
commerce and industry show us q mag
nlncent example Of generosity and true
solidarity by their gifts 20 universities
and charitable institutions"

A Farewell That Lingers.
