YORK SPEAKS AT ANNUAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BANQUET Out Which Confron Confidence They Wilt Be on und Pacific Trade York Nov one and thirty-third annual banquet of tbj chamber of commerce was held at Del this evening Covers for 451 were laid in the main banquet room which was simply though effectively decorated chiefly with American flags At the table of honor presided over by President Morris K Jessup were Ambassador Joseph H Choate John Hay secretary of state Senator John L of South Carolina law Reid Governor-elect Albeit B Cummins of Iowa Senator Chauncey M Depew Rev Dr Donald Sage kay Andrew Carnegie Seth Low Lieutenant General Nelson A Miles J Pierpont Morgan William E Dodge Samuel D General John R Brooke Carl Schura Alexander E Orr Governor Odell Rear Admiral Albert S Barker and B Ridgeley The professional and business circles of the city were ali represented in the list of guests The speechmaking was opened by President Jessup in a very few words He then proposed a toast to the ory of William McKinley It was drunk with all and in silence f President Roosevelt's health was then toasted while the orchestra played and at the next toast that of King ward of the British national anthem was played In introducing Secretary Hay ident Jessup proposed a toast to Our Diplomacy The secretary was ly welcomed the guests and his speech at various points met with great enthusiasm especially when he mentioned the name of President Kinley The speech obtained rapt attention and the applause was deafening when in he No wantonness of strength will ever Induce us to drive bargain with another nation because it ie weak nor will any fear of ignoble criticism tempt us to insult or defy a great power because it is strong or even be- cause it is friendly Secretory Hay's After an eloquent tribute to the memory of President McKinley Hay I am asked to say something about our diplomacy As to the measure of success which our recent diplomacy has met with it is difficult if not impossible for me to speak There are two important lines of human endeavor in which men are for- even to allude to their affairs of the heart and diplomatic fairs But if we are not permitted to boast of we have done we can at least say a word about what we have tried to do and the principles which have guided our action The briefest expression of our rule of conduct is perhaps the Monroe doctrine and tbe golden rule With this simple chart we can hardly go far I think I may our sister re- publics to the south of us are convinced of the sincerity of They know we desire the prosperity of and narmpny each of them among them We no more want their than we covet the mountains of the moon We are grieved and distressed when there are differences among them but even then we should never think of trying to compose any of those differences unless by the of both parties to it Not even oar earnest fiestas for peace among them will lead us to any action might offend their national dignity or their just sense of independence We would endow them with all the we claim for ourselves As to what we have tried to what J to le ge field diplomacy there is no reason had been shown by the British at the time of the death of President McKinley and said that not only had the sympathy been manifested almoM every hour of the days after the event by royalty but that all classes were quite as sorrowful In view of these facts Mr Choate thought this ment justified in thinking that land's grief was an expression of tural sympathy Mr Choate was followed by Senator McLaurin of South Carolina who spoke to the toast of The Monroe Doctrine of the Twentieth Century The address was very well received and he frequently applauded Air Cummins Address Governor-elect Albert of Iowa followed Senator McLaurin Mr Cummins departed somewhat from his prepared speech He said there is a feeling in this country that industrial combinations are to drift toward monopoly Not a word could be said he declared against industrial combinations but a oly was quite a different thing from industrial combinations He said there are two forces to regulate competition and the other regulation by law said Mr Cummins that the people of this country will not stand for industrial monopoly any more than they would stand for a monarchical form of government If we wish to preserve manhood of out citizenship the time will come when it will be necessary to nationalize the questions which are now agitating the public enmd m this particular main Cummins set speech Mr Toastmaster and What we nave we what we ought to be all in the space of fifteen minutes will furnish an exhibition of compressed air more curious than the freaks of frozen atmosphere with which modern science now amuses itself There is a way in which the subject can be treated in a single sentence X am just from a political campaign and as Uie headnote for mv discourse upon this occasion has been the text of some three score speeches of recent delivery I might with brevity and accuracy if not with propriety say of The Present Prosperity of the Are the Essentials to its ley brought it Roosevelt will keep it republicanism achieved it and ism will continue it or indulging in a glittering generality it sprang from good government and will continue wieh good government Recognizing is a meeting I appreciate the necessity of presenting what I have to say without a label and I un- that a diplomatic paraphrase of the plain statement already made is re- quired Let us first attend to definitions is a comparative term and does not imply the furious pace of the last three years years under existing conditions would bankrupt every country m Europe and make toe United States the industrial and financial ter of the world Confident as I of the superior quality of American brains and the greater potency of American en- ergy I am not prepared to predict the extinction of our adversaries in commercial war the lines of which are now for the first time clearly drawn Therefore when I speak of prosperity I lave in mind a reasonable moderate but constant advance that will keep us well at tSie head of the march but will not completely exhaust our competitors in their efforts to remain in the sion The Man Behind the Looking into the it may be said the utmost certainty that if we hold he commanding position we now occupy and broaden our influence hi the world's affairs we must retain tjie exceptional manhood of the republic It is at once a and effect Our men are unique n the society of Bhe but I remind that to keep them so

borne with patience and patriotism so as it is believed that the government neither creates nor perpetuates it The dowry that Providence be- stowed the republic and the unequaled opportunities of a pioneer have greatly simplified the cesses of organized society with the of the United States but it is easy to see that we are rapidly passing into an- other phase of national existence one in which we must only concern selves with our relations toward other and trade with other lands but must look with increasing care toward those laws which are intended to control the which our people bear to each other The wonderful evolution of society the marvelous variety of try the magical development of wealth all warn us that the government if it would continue to discharge its duty must be in harmony with the times Somewhere between the obsolete theory that the government is a mere policeman visionary dream it must ab- sorb all the functions of industrial life there lies the true boundary of its fulness It Is not a stationary line but moves hither and to compass the changing needs of organized We have found that it is easy to create wealth but the problem which relates to its just distribution is one which will tax to its uttermost our most Christian tue and our most patriotic strength Do not that I fear for the future on the contrary I have an abiding faith that if it be true that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof it is vet more that sufficient unto the is the day thereof This faith however arises from a belief that we will turn our faces toward our public duties and that whatsoever Christianized man can do ward making the government the ment of justice that he will do It is not permitted me at this time to either praise or dispraise the framework of our domestic regulations I desire however to leave with you one thought is a wonderful tribute to the genius of man that our constitution has endured out substantial change in the respects of which I am

come when if we are people of United States some subjects are now constitutionally local must become constitutionally national It is futile to if any should be adopted to prevent or adjust the de-
