C. Harpman ot . . Lincoln The alldre ot welcome was delvered by lon , George P. Bern ! , mayor of Omaha , after which lion. Euclid Martin was Intro- I ducell responding t the teal , "I.ooklng 'or- ! . ward. " In speaking upon this subJect Mr. : ' Martin said : "I.ooklng forward In a theme that In more I expert halll la suellUblo ! ot much clabora- tion. What I shall say upon th's subJect Is from a business standpoint only. In borrowed - rowed language , not new by any means , Nebraska - braska has come to the parting . of the ways. The vital questIon IR , 'Aro we to remain a faIrly god agricultural tate only , or are we to enter at once Ullon such an era of prosperIty as wo have never before known ? ' , t ? I contend that the decision ot thIs great quelt0n lies entirely with her cit zos , co wall represented at this banquet "In order that wo may arrive at a prepor 1IIIUon at this ( question It Is I necessary first to determine what Ilkes communities pros- porous While the smaller cites anll towns depend Uln the lertlty : of the soil .n ad- ' jaent tnrrItry , the great cItes of the . coun- try depend not only upon the fertility ot the Iurr.undlnl lands but upon the facites for conductlg trafc among themseive l and wh ' the people or communites contiguous , who I ' . have something to buy or sell . and Uln their ( rv. ability to produce &omethlng. Ils very commonly - monly and truthfully wid that farming Is the most necessary avocation , because the a farmer prtduces something. Large fortunes F are often made by merchants who buy an article and Eel It for a little more than they . . Pay ; and while this Is 1 necessary Ingredient ! , large cities cannot be maln1I ( l upan thIs kind of lJ c alone. We must produce some- thing. ' I "Cll are usually Indices to the surround- : k ing country hence Omaha , as the acknowledged - edged metropolis of Nebraska , may be fairly . . assumC to be re'presenttve at the state , so ar as cemmercal prCperlty I concerned ; hence If Omaha prospers the prosperity ot the state naturally follows. TiE GREAT CENTlm. "This cit Is well situated to become a great distributing cmter There are no large or competIng ! cities near lS , I Is from 400 to too ; miles to any of the large cities eiher to the north , cast , south or west To the north I we have Minueapclis and St. Paul , to the coot i Mlnneapels eal ' Cblcgo , to the south St. Louis and to tile west Denver. True , there are some god , towns within thin territory described , but noth'ng that wilt interfere with the growth and prosperity of thts city. ChIcago , Bali- ! more New York , Boston and New Orieanoi have all grown and becolre large and prosperous - v porous cities upon less territory Individually thau wo can control , with proper effort. "The soU cf Nebraska. Iowa and other territory - tory emptying its product Into this as 1 mar- ket , Is not excelled In any dlstrct ! of the same zze ! tn the United' ( States , and I doubt . " very much It It Is equaled . Ve produce , as : 's , large I nel a larger' vaiety 'of cerefls than any other 'terrItory. I , Omaha fails to 'be a great city It will not be because It Is not sur- rounded by the necessary farming country , nor because the fertility ot the sol Is lack- ing ing."Tlu main factors that go toward making .5 any city a success as a manufacturing center mny bo summed up as cheap material ; cheap fuel forproduclng power , and skied labor It reaponable prices. "So far as lumber Is concerned going into the manufacture of many articles , Omaha Is better sItuated than mot ot the surroundIng - Ing cities. HavIng used CIncinnati and St. Louis as I pattern , wo must compare our- selves wih' them. Lumber can today be laId down a ehell If not cheaper In Omaha than In either of these cities. We are nearer the great pineries of the north , about as near the hard wood districts of the east , and have practcaly : the Eame rate of freight from the hard pine regions ef the south so that so far as this branch ot material Is concerned , we can safely say chat we are at no disadvantage. "Thero con be but little difference In the J price of Iron delIvered here than at , the cites c referred to I Is admited today that the ' cheapest place for the production of pig Iron In the United States Is around lake Michigan , so . \'e are almost as near the fountain head as the cites with which we are ' tonight to comllete. "In Cuel ; wo are placed at a slight disadvantage - vantage , but ! situated } o. near the great coal fields ot 4 l'a , there can be but little differ- enc In thIs direction , Our facilities for receiving - ceiving and distributing goods are second to none. Amonr the great railay lines In the United States , quite I number connect Omaha with , l the Principal . cities and ma- tonal producIng districts AS A MANU ACTUlNO POINT. "The princIpal point or disadvantage Is lahor , Mid the only question then left for dlscuaslen Is , whether or not labor can be \roduced hero at such prices as to com- , pete wih labor ot the cast anl south. There era but two things that enter Into the cost i 01 producing labor : The maintenance of a borne , either by ownership or hy renting . and . the cost of living. Sllled labor Is educated lbor , and always follows and Is a result of a demand "Skilled labor keeps pace with the product of the manufacturer 'fhero are many lines ot goCds that can be made to advantage In many of the 13rgr towns In this state. Ne- braska City. Lincoln , Beatrice. hastings , - Iearney , Grand Ilaml and l.'remont are capable ot equaling the towns above re- ' llrrol10. .

That is . It may be a very good thing In Ito way , but I has no prote- ( ion. YOl see , when on of we fellows , or rather ono of wo gentlemen , get tip before an audience and , without any preliminary spar- ring for wind , plunge at once Into the Intrl- c'aeles at a sUbject there Is ! n suspicion In thl minds or sOle that they are listening to what Is known li oratorical parlance as a \Jrepared \ speech , and although thc speech may be Interesting , yet they leem to have an idea that In Bore indefinable . mysterious , occult - cult manner a swindle has been perpetrated on them , and on the cmmuniy at large. Llko the gentle but inexperienced maIden who has just discovered that yesternlght's burning declaration ot love was but colt taffy , and cama' from the art ot her lover , In- stead of from hIs heart , their sentment Is quick , and In a few days we are passed by them to the hands ot the critics who Imme- diately place us on a grid-iron and we are roasted and tested and spitted. A YOUNG OHATOR. "If wo have political aspirations , and want to run for coroner or assessor or constable , that carefully prepared speech Is brought ant again , and the chidren ot our brain , whom we created by burning the mIdnight gas at $1.75 per 1,000 , and whom we sent forth on their missIon wIth the hIghest hOlies , come trooping back to lS , and , as they come they poInt the finger of scorn at their old papa for having been too big a chump to apologize at the right time. Now , \Ir. Prsident , I am n young orator , and I want to start this thing straight , and want to say that I am ready to apologize for anything - thing , even for being alive , but for espe- clahiy for the sublme effrontery , the unmitigated - gated gal dl&played , when so humble an I Individual as 1 presumes to address an I audience composed , as this Is , of men high In the world ot religion , law , commerce , let- mere , politics and railroads. "I have not Included In this catagory the manufacturers and consumers ; as I Is of them or their association , that 1 am to speak this evening "Tho Manufacturers and Consumers asso- ciaton Is an educational institution. An edlcatonal institution whose foundation Is loyalty to atate. Its faculty Is your - Itato. Is faculy composed - posed of twenty-one directors and a secretory - tory , nil ot whom , excepting . ot course , the pealterlro wel qualified to carry out the Jbjcct of the Institution , which Is the build- lag lp of a great state Its curriculum Is the shortest ot any ot the great universities , being confned to the interpretation , the ii- lustraton and the demonstration ot three words , which are "PatronIze Home Industry - ar. dustry " These words are its college yel amen its banner Is emblazoned with them its coat ot arms , the spinnIng wheel Its I . ' tudonts are numbered by the hundreds ot' thousands , and Its graduating classes are getting so lareo that It will soon bo neces- sony to rent the state of Iowa and Wyoming to furnish room enough to hold our commencement - moncemont exercises. Its course Is free to all. UNITY IS NlmDED. "Tho Idea ot the establishment ot this In- sttlton was first suggested by ll nnagan's : olebratell remark , 'Vhat are wo here for ? " I feel tonight like the grand father ot 1,500- 000 of people , pretty tired . and I want you to imagine that I am your grandfather and not get angry at what the old man says. 'rho Manufacturers and Consumers association - tion Is mora than an educational Institution. There Is no one association or Individual that has lane more to unite and cement together the different communities ot thIs state Into one harmonious whole than this association , and I there Is anything under the heavens . any one thing , that the state ot Nebraska needs , I Is unity of acton anti purpose In all things. "There Is one thing that the Manufacturers' and Consumers' association has got ; and that Is unity. They are the most unanimously united set ot men that I ever got tangled np with. cud the best natured.

" LOVES OLD TINGS BEST. In speaking to the toast , "The Packing tn- dutrles ot Chicago , " Johl S. Knox , trafc manager ot the Culahy Packing company : oC South Omahn , Mid : "Tho official program whIch t hold In my hand has me blued to speak upon 'Tho Packing Interests of Nebraska , ' " } urlng the past six years . have spoken upon this self-same subJect , or others closely allied to it , once or more each year , and every time a number of I ) present hearers were among the victims . I therefore Imagine that I their real sentiments were expressed they would Bay that my topic should b labeled , 'Stale Chestnuts. ' "The author oC that fine comedy , "Sho Stoops to Conquer , " puts Into the mouth ct one ot his heading charaeterl this sentment , 'I love old thing best ; old books , old wines old friends. ' Now , I he had only extended time list to . Include oh sermons ) and old speeches our clerical friends might have some justification for the occasional repro duction of former efforts , and some excuse for repenting previous talks on , Our PackIng - lag House Industries , ' "Tho subJect at best Is 1 dry and slats- tcal one , and It Is exceedingly difcul to think ot much , I anything , that Is new or entertaining to those not dirEcty interested To those who have not been afflicted In the past 1 might say that tile pecking business In our state sprang with almost a sIngle bound from birth to tll manhood without the usual Intervening Periods of Infancy , chiidhood and "olth. I could cal their attention - tenlon to the fact that In a sIngle decade , \e have reached thIrd place In the race for , slppremacy , being exceeded only by Itnols and Missouri , both of which are much older and at greater population , ami whose paclt- tag house8 were estahlshed on firm fOII\- tons , while Nebraska was yet the almost undisputed home ot the Indian and the buffalo. 1 could tel them ot our little southern suburb , South Omaha , truly termed the " 1allc City ; " magical because of the almost Aladdin-like transformation by whch a few .Ulusand acres ot ordinary grazing and farmIng lands were converted Into one of the busiest and most thrivIng and energetic manufacturIng centers ot the I west. ' . FOOD FOR REFLECTION. "It would not be amiss to mention that In this little burg , commercial transactIons , ot considerably more than $100,000,000 are annually conducted , the sale ot a single firm reaching nearly $25,000,000. "Unless we stop anti analyze them for a moment the mind does not gasp and comprehend these stupendous figures. I instead ot saying $25,000,000 per year , we say $80,0 worth of goods . sold on ever one ot the 300 business days , we begin to realize the Immensity of the transastons , and when we multiply this by tour or five we can faintly conceive what Is meant by the volume or traffic referred to. "Mr. ChaIrman , the manufacturing Interests - terests represented around this festive boar are large and worthy ot all praise for theIr development , but the single one named In the title at my toast outweighs al time rest combined The packers employ more men , have a larger pay roil and larger capital Invested - vested than all the balance. Our products have carrIed the name and fame of Ne- braska to almost every land Inder the sun. Last summer , while on a Ito outing trip , I was my pleasure to ascend to the summit at Pike's Peak. Almost the first thing to greet my eye was a sign telling weary and panting tourists of the restorative qualIties of one ot our Nebraska packer's pr paratons ! , Travelers In other lands tel us that our Nebroska gcods are as familiar there as upon the shelves and counters ot our home dealers. "Nearly ever vessel that leaves the docks of Montreal , Portland , Boston , New York , Phiadelphia and Baltimore carries as a por- ton ot her cargo packing house prcducts from Nebraska cnroute to Europe to appease - pease , time hunger ofi' the , ' myrals , ot ! people who Inhabit tiio'oid world.

' a Nebraska branch of the Travelers lrcteth'e assoclatioum. The men namCl for this purpose were Messrs. Hlston , Crandall , Steele , 1.lnke and Tutle , Short talks on hotel ncconunolatons and a II0t mortem on personal experiences In Ne braska hotels was the next order of business. Iessrs. Winterstein , Cese and Leo addressed the con\'Iton on the subJect. Mr. lelphry told a good story at the eX- pease of the landlords He said that one \VO ) ' that traveling men could get ahead ot landlords who gave them Interior service was to carry a smal bottle or bedbugs In their imockets The 8)'stem to folow this Ilrocellure was to aPIJear at the ofce counter the mor- Ing folowIng the occupancy of one of the roms In the hotel , al\ ask for a reduction In the schedule of prices when the bed was shared by a roommate The lalllcrd gener- ally cOlmlte himself by saying that he would redtlce the price 26 cents for a rom- mate. Then the traveler could fash the bot- tie ot fifteen or twenty bugs nnd clall a re bate on hi botch 'bill for the job lot at Insect "comrades. " There was generally a balance . In the traveling man's tavor. James Slusher gave his views on unsats- fatory hotel service , and recited P laughable Incident . In hIs career In connecton therewith - with.t was the general opinion that I the tvolers could organize a protective associ , ton It would lave a tendency to make I some hotel keeers brace UII.

Wright Butler's church In a body this morning , was unanimously - mously adopted , A , resolution of thanks was tendered to Rev. Leo Frnnldln for services rendered : during the conventioim. The Traveling Man's Official Railway Guide was endorsed . Chairman Huston ot the conlnlUee appointed - pointed to formulate a plan on permanent organization reported In favor of organizing a Nebraska division ot the Traveler's Pro- tectve Association of America. James WInterstein took time floor and op- posed the Idea of pledging Nebraska travel- hag men to support the Insurance features of time NatIonal Association ot time Travelers Protective association . which he thought would prove unsatsfactory , Ho favored a separate orgnnlzaton of Nebraska commercial men Into a body distinctIvely Nebraskan and not as an auxiliary to an association whose past dealings with traveling men were stl fresh In unpleasant memory. Burt W. Lyon ot St. Louis then made an explanation to tile elect that Mr. WInter- stein was getting time Travelers Protective AssocIatIon ot America confused with the Travelers Protectve AssocIaton ot the United Statcs The former , he said , was an honor- able successor to a dlshonorabll parent and the orKanlzaton whIch was under con- slderaton was not the gang of plunderers who robbed commercial traveler years IgO , Mr. Winterstein made another vigorous pro- test against the scheme ot the enlemen from St. LouiR" to have Nebraska travelers tavelers tie to their national organization . Mr. Lyon replied and the discussion as- sume\ somewhat personal Dspect. The de- bate grew acrimonious , Mr. Wlntprsteln lead- lag : the oppositIon forces , while 11essr , I.yon , Lee , Hodgin and Huston upheld the Idea of bong : an auxiliary to a national associatIon benefit that would . be of protectve und legislative Whlo the verbal battle was at Its height F.
