(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Ills, April 19.-The necessity
of expansion was the dominant theme al
the BANQUET of the Bankers Club, which
was held tonight at the Auditorium
Hotel. The chief speakers of the even
ing were President NJ. E. Ingalls,, of the
Big Four Railroad Company, Robert
Lowry, of Atlanta, Ga, and Frank O
Lowren. of Chicago.
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Mr.. ingalls,, and his
views found earnest support among his
hearers. Mr.. Ingalls, said:
IF We would make this nation as rich
and powerful as it ought to be, if we
would bring money and prosperity to
ourselves and to the future, we must
adopt some of the plans that were out
lined by Blaine in his day, were empha-
sized by Mckinley in his last message;
we must adopt a system of reciprocity,
by which we can increase trade. A
tariff wall against the labor of Europe
and it's competition may be necessary.
1t certainly is considered SO by a large
number Of our people, but the same wall
that protects us upon that side is our
ruin upon the other, and we must culti-
waite the West Indies, the South Ameri-
can States and the Islands of the Pacific
by reciprocal arrangements and rela-
lions which promote our commerce. We
must admit their products free. in con-
sideration Of their purchasing from US.
and, # this is done. We have not ships
enough upon the ocean to carry the COM
merce between those countries and our
own, and there is not money enough in
the banks to furnish the credit and ex-
change.
1--WE should then bind these countries
to us by ties stronger than any legisla-
ton. They would be our friends, our
partners in business. And l confess l
can see nothing but trouble in any other
partnership. With the experience we
have had in the Southern States with
negro suffrage, are you willing to under
take the admission of Cuba and Porto
Rico, as States, containing, as they do,
a large majority of colored people
Neither do l care to maintain a kinder
garten in the Philippines for the educa-
ton Of 5000, 600 OrientaIs. Rather, I
say, keep the hands of foreign nations
off, hold the commerce of these countries,
furnish the transportation, furnish the
ships, furnish the money and the bank
ing facilities for their trade, and we will
have commercial annexation without the
danger of political annexation"
Mr.. Lowry spoke in favor of expansion
in general, and paid particular attention
to matters in the South, drawing a bril-
liant picture of the prospects and capa-
bllltles OF the Southern States.

Protection Of real estate from unequal taxation

Senator Nathaniel A. Elsberg the principal reason
why he and other members OF the legislature voted
for the bill to tax the surplus Of savings institu
tons. His letter says in part:

Of office as Governor Mr.. Roosevelt often conferred
with Mr.. Perry in regard affairs affecting the
city of New-York. Dir. Perry a delegate to
the national convention in 1900 at Philadelphia.
Mr.. Perry has always given the great problems
of the Republican party careful consideration. AL
though a firm believer in the Republican principle
Of protection he cannot be classed man who
is in favor OF high protection. regardless of the
changing conditions in the country. He feels that
the increasing prosperity and general growth of the
land lead sooner later a change by the

tiers. however accompanied the Democratic ef-
forts in respect 10 this. Mr.. Perry is a sound
money man. and In his speeches in 1886, 1888 and
1870 supported President Mckinley and the Repub-
